Porygon landed.
"Poryi~"
"What kind of Pokémon is this?"
Like everyone seeing it for the first time, Iris voiced her confusion.
Baimu opened his mouth slightly, then reconsidered and smiled. "It's called Porygon. It used to be called 3D Dragon. It's a special virtual Pokémon created by Dr. Akihabara in Kanto."
