[Rise moves closer to him and pats his head. Since coming here, she's been pretty lonely herself. Physical affection is hard to come by in a place like this when everyone seems to prefer talking over little screens. It's made her be more hesitant about it. After patting Teddie's head, she pats the Cubchoo on the head.]

I think you're fitting in just fine. Your Pokémon seems happy.

[She smiles a little sadly as she nods. She's going to assume Pops is his traveling companion.]

You're my first friend I remember from our world here... Sempai was here for a day, but then he disappeared again...

[Damn 4th wall. She puts her hands behind her back, rocking on her heels for a moment.]

You don't need to thank me. We're friends, Teddie! Friends help each other out.
