In Paldea, at the Cat House, a Meowscarada was studying something beside the television, seemingly trying to find a special viewing angle.
But no matter how she looked, nothing changed. After all, peering through the gaps in a television would not reveal any other footage. At most, she could pull out its electronic components.
