Speaking: "Hello there!"
Thinking: I have a pizza delivery.
Words PoV cannot understand: "The total is fifteen bucks."
Telepathy: "Here's your change; have a nice day!"

Standing over the view of a village, Izuku stared expressionless as the wind rustled his shirt and hair gently. Letting out a breath slowly, he began to make his way down the hill he stood on and into the village he found.
After Izuku had woken up in the early morning beside the same tree from the day before, he promptly pinched himself to see if he could escape back to reality. Of course, he is in reality so that didn't work out too well. With no other option, he simply continued his journey in the direction he had been running before and it wasn't until right before noon that he found this village.
"I've been traveling for hours and it hasn't been since yesterday's breakfast that I ate anything..." Izuku's slow gait with a few stumbles here and there was a symptom of his exhaustion.
Passing a large tree, Izuku continued walking around the bend of a lake until he finally reached the village itself. This place really is a village, all these houses are made of wood and straw and stuff. I haven't seen anyone else either... I guess-
Cutting off his train of thought was a small grey cat in his path, though this one was bipedal for some reason. Maybe it's some kind of show pet? It stood in front of him, staring into his eyes with its own lilac and purple pair. Staring each other down, an uncomfortable moment of silence reigned over the two of them. Getting tired of the awkward atmosphere, Izuku opened his mouth to speak.
O%O%O
"H-Hello?"
Espurr certainly wasn't expecting this when she woke up today. Being the weekend, the psychic type had used the morning hours for sleeping in and when she finally woke up to go and eat, she sees a literal human stroll right on into the village. She stepped out of her house to confront and investigate it but ended up in a staring contest with it.
"Oh, what am I doing?" Breaking from her inner thoughts, Espurr heard the human speak again. "I just tried talking to a standing cat! Of course it can't talk back! It's probably just trained to stand or something... Hmm, maybe this thing was actually a normal cat and it was altered by someone's Quirk. Yeah..."
While Espurr didn't really understand what the human was mumbling about, she could easily tell that it stopped paying attention to the world around it in favor of thinking aloud. Deciding to finally stop delaying it any longer, Espurr tried communicating back to the human.
O%O%O
"Ohh, I wish I had my notebook..." Izuku hung his head low before he remembered where he was and why he went into mumble mode in the first place. That's right! The strange cat!
"Es-purr." Staring at the furry creature once again, Izuku tilted his head in confusion. "Huh?"
"Judging by your reaction, I guess you can't understand me, even though I can understand you. There has to be some way for us to communicate..."
Izuku raised an eyebrow. Why does it keep saying 'Espurr'? In fact, how is it able to say that at all? Humming in thought, Izuku decided he could figure out the cat's deal later after he filled his angry stomach with some food. Before he could leave though, he was interrupted.
"Espurr, esp! Purr, espurr purr!" Looking back at the cat, Izuku tried to calm it. "Um, I'm sorry little guy. I have to go now. See you later!"
"Hold on! Do you understand me now?"
Freezing in his tracks, Izuku whirled around to see who spoke to him. "Huh, someone else is here..? Hello? Who's there?" Looking around, he couldn't see anyone except for the cat, although it seemed to be pouting at him now for some reason.
"That was me, human." The cat said, pointing a paw at itself. Staring with wide blank eyes, Izuku simply stayed silent. "Human? Are you ok?"
"Ok. That's it. This has to be a Quirk! It has to! Has to..." Izuku shakily stuttered.
"Human, calm down. I just made a telepathic link so that you can understand my words, that's all."
Did it just say telepathy!? Okay, okay, ok... I'm calm. This has to be something like principal Nedzu. A cat that gained a telepathy Quirk could happen, I'm sure of it. No need to panic. Though, that still doesn't explain everything! Arrgh! I'm too hungry for this... Too hungry...
"Well, okay then. What's your name, little guy?" "Espurr. And I'm a girl." "Oh, my bad, my bad. Alright then, can you direct me to another human in this village? I really need food."
O%O%O
He seems delirious from hunger and from this confusing situation. Espurr thought as she led the human towards the village plaza. It sounds like he still believes that he's in the human world or something. Plus, he looked like he was about to freak out when we first talked earlier before he started asking for food. Is it possible that he doesn't know what Pokemon are? And he keeps mumbling the word 'Quirk' as if it means something else to him.
Shaking herself from thinking about the human's mannerisms, Espurr began to wonder what exactly she was doing in bringing him into the plaza. She knew that she was going to get him food but after that, what next? And it's not like the plaza is a private place, it's a plaza for a reason. Will the village folks freak out? I hope I can trust that they won't make things complicated.
Stepping into the plaza, Espurr reevaluated her decision as everyone in the plaza stopped to stare. Oh, shoot...
O%O%O
Ohh... I haven't been this hungry since...ever! It feels like all my strength is being sapped just to cause the pain in my stomach. I'm not- huh?
While Izuku may have been hungry and vulnerable, he was still a hero in training so when he saw Espurr pause, he immediately looked around to see what was happening to cause his cat companion to stop, while also shifting to a cautious mindset.
"Espurr, what's..." Trailing off in his words, it became more and more obvious to Izuku that he was far from home as everywhere he looked, he just saw multitudes of creatures of varying shapes and sizes. "Uh-"
"Carracosta! Carra, cost!" "Lom lom lombre? Lombre!?" "Hawl, lucha hawlucha!"
Multiple creatures at once started crying out names over and over, similar to Espurr before she used her telepathy. Even through all the chaos, Izuku's mind still took this as an opportunity to run into overdrive. If these guys are all saying a name each, similar to Espurr before I could understand her, then I guess that means each creature's cry is their respective names. Why is it like that though? How is it like that?
With each pestering from the new creatures, Espurr attempted to get her quiet voice over the waves of noise, to no avail. With so much commotion, Izuku was starting to get a headache. "Stop!"
Not really expecting his word to do anything, Izuku froze nervously when silence washed over the village plaza and everyone turned to look at him. Gulping slowly, Izuku was reminded of the day his friend Iida was able to calm an entire panicking student body. That's right! I have to be able to do what Iida did so that I can take another step to being a cool hero! A hero that can calm the minds of the people! A hero that can say: "It's fine now. Because I am here!"
Finally, he spoke. "Everyone, please stay calm! I'm not here to cause problems or harm! I don't know what's going on but you can trust me on the fact that I'm not here to cause trouble. I promise."
