[This time he is more prepared, and also, his smile is a little more strained, not that Ingo is likely to be able to parse that when he's seeing this face for the first time. Once again he twirls in the air, even more grandly, waving his hands.]
[This is not the first time he's been mistaken for a Pokemon. But what type is he!]
Hehehe, greetings to you too, Ingo! I'm Magolor! Busy day for quests, hmmmmm . . . well, I'll tell you the same thing I told the last lady! First I need to know a little something about you. So give me the ol' elevator pitch and I'll see what I can come up with!
"Elevator pitch?" I am afraid I do not know what that is. But I do not mind introducing myself in more detail!
[Doing it up-front takes away the anxiety he has in getting halfway through a conversation, and only then revealing that he has a tragic isekai backstory.]
I am on the Sphinx team. I wonder if you are familiar with Pokemon at all? You bear similarities to one. I am a Pokemon trainer, along with my identical twin brother. He is Emmet, on Yatagarasu! We were reunited here, after spending several years apart due to unfortunate and mysterious circumstances. I actually have amnesia... but he has been helping me regain my memories. In my original hometown, I worked closely with the subway system! But I was sent back in time to a place where no subway existed, so I instead worked in the mountains.
That's kind of a lot to take in . . . identical twin brothers? Amnesia and time travel? I ought to give you a quest to write me a film script based on your life! But I won't put either of us through that. And sorry to tell you, I've never heard of Pokemon before! But if they're anything like me, I want to know eeeeverything! So you train them? To do what, tricks?
[What's a film script? But it's not the time to ask.]
I train them to battle, personally! But they can be trained to help with gardening, construction, transportation, or merely companionship... anything, really. It is worth noting that there is no magic in my world other than what is possible through the talents of Pokemon! But—what Pokemon are capable of matches nearly any kind of magic I have heard about so far!
Duh! Obviously, after an intro like that! Anyone would be curious, right? Hey, instead of sitting around here doing that all by our lonesomes, let's make that your quest! Put on a talent show somewhere public showing off whatever random things your Pokemon can do that're so impressive! I'll sit in the front row~!
[He produces his token out of his hood somewhere and flips it expertly over to Ingo.]
Don't forget the tip jar! I'll let you have this a little early if you put out a tip jar for any entertained audience members who're feeling generous today. In exchange, anything else that goes into the jar is all mine! How's that sound? You're really coming out ahead getting your token early, buuuut I'm willing to make sacrifices for the good of my cute little teams!
[His arm moves to catch it on instinct, and only after catching it does he process what it is, and what just happened.]
I see...! How generous indeed! Since you will be attending the show, you will be able to see that everything is above-board, and take the jar once it is completed! Unless that is too much of an imposition on your time.
People here do tend to be very excited about demonstrations of Pokemon! Their abilities can be a little destructive, so a bit outside of the graveyard, perhaps... Oh, but I will have to go fetch a jar, first. They have such things available in the diner.

[He clearly wasn't expecting a ??MYTHICAL POKEMON?? to answer.]
Greetings! You are with Echidna, correct? I am Ingo. I was wondering if I could have a task to complete for a token.

People say that I am very earnest and "intense!"

Of course it's not. I'm as eager as anyone to see the show! I mean, I'm the only one who knows about it so far, but forget about that! I'll be there.

[He reaches up to touch it, and then nods. He has a backup he can use for this!]
Very well! I will see you soon!
