That... wasn't the answer he'd exactly expected. Maybe disdain, or some kind of further questioning or digging for an answer. "Human? What do you mean?" he asked, looking up up at Owen finally.

Echo's ear twitched, and he scanned the area again. "So how come you want something smaller than Marshtomp?" As he spoke, he kept his ears tuned to the various pokemon in the area. There were some birds, which he ignored, and a few odder pokemon like a Froslass, but he wasn't sure that was...

Koa swallowed, his old reflexive nervousness welling up. "W-well legendaries are strong, but they can still choose to join a human." Who cared why? Why couldn't he want something, just like someone tried to become champion? No one ever questioned them- He let the frustration fade. Owen's world...

"Huh, I guess I never thought about it like that." Kitto and Hitmonchan were a lot like a hero pair. Owen's next question brought the instinctual hesitation it always did, but he quickly dismissed it. There couldn't be any more harm in telling Owen than anyone else here. "The thing is, back home...

Koa nodded. "Yeah. I guess it is a lot, but most people where I'm from raise about that many. At least, champions and gym leaders I guess," he mused. "My friend Kitto though, he only raised one. This sick Hitmonchan. You'd probably like them a lot," he added. Now that he thought about it, he...

It did feel addicting. Was that what all Pokemon felt? Was that why he wanted to fight so bad? "My team back home are doing good! We've had some tough times, but we're doing good." Except for the time you almost lost them. "We were doing some training before I came here, and my friend Kitto...

Echo shook his head sadly. "I don't think we managed to meet Coco." Things just never seemed to line up, although now he really wanted to. She sounded a lot like Rascal "And Koa found a fossil in this big cave he went to! But he wasn't allowed to restore the fossil until he got stronger. I...

Koa sighed, resting his head on his paws. "I sort of want to but..." his thoughts flashed back to his 'battle' against Kora. The voice inside him, raring to fight more, to push himself more. "I also want to fight." You need to. "But Echo keeps reminding me I shouldn't push myself. Besides,"...

Almost none of what Rocky said made much sense to Echo, but it sounded interesting all the same. Though he wasn't really sure how someone could come from a rock. He'd never heard of pokemon like that back home, other than actual rock-pokemon. Had Rocky come from a Geodude somehow? But he...

Koa stared at him for a moment. Right, Owen was some kind of... well he didn't actually understand what he was, just that he seemed to have a lot of lives and was apparently very old. Very old. "I guess it is a lot when you put it that way," he agreed. Not much crazier than what happened back...

"Sweet Tooth! Oh thats really good." He beamed, nodding to himself. "Sound Hound and Sweet Tooth. I like that!" He took to the air again and did a loop in the air. He couldn't wait to get home and tell Koa in person. Maybe they could even get some kind of cool outfit. People did that, right...

Koa tipped his head to the side. "I guess I don't think of it like that," he said finally. "Or didn't? Everyone says I'm young. Dave seemed upset about that," he mused with a chuckle. "But I just feel... normal. Back home, all the kids my age would get to go traveling and training Pokemon. I...

Koa flopped and stretched. "I've been-" Well, not much point in lying, was there? Owen would be able to tell. Besides, hiding things at this point was stupid. They'd been fighting together for months. And there wasn't much time left. "Tired, I guess. Kind of weirded out," he added. Echo had...

Koa made his way home, for once feeling mostly relaxed. No mysteries, no crisises, no apocalypses. How strange my life has turned... Only months ago he was just a trainer, hoping to meet a legendary. Now he saw them everywhere. The thought was disconcerting for sure. Grabbing a snack from the...

Echo's ears perked up. "Sound Hound!" he said the name carefully. It was pretty cool. "Maybe I'll see if Koa would like that!" And a superhero name for him? He'd never given the idea much thought before but... He was sort of like a bat, so maybe something with that? Like Batma- Nah. He glided...

Echo's gaze lit up. Back home, that would have been impossible. But here, it often seemed like anything was possible. "Oh that would be so cool! We already stopped a few criminals back home, so I guess we're kinda like heroes there too." He slowed a little bit, thinking. "But he doesn't really...

Echo delight turned to surprise. Rocky clearly wasn't talking about Koa's skills as a pokemon trainer. Still, he also wasn't wrong. Koa's special transformation was so cool. Cooler than anyone else's on the team, in Echo's opinion. He couldn't help but grin a little, hearing someone talk about...

Team Rocket? The name was familiar, he was sure Koa had mentioned it before, but they weren't in Sinnoh, he was sure. "I think they exist, but only in Kanto and Johto, according to Koa. We have..." Echo shuddered slightly. "Team Galactic." His voice trailed off slightly. He hated thinking about...

"Oh that sounds fun!" Echo detected something in Rocky's tone and behaviour, the same sort of things he sometimes saw Koa do whenever he was trying to hide something. Still, perhaps Rocky didn't want to talk about it now. Which was fine by him. Fun distractions were always a delight! "Yeah...

"Sure!" Echo chirped happily. "Always happy to help out a friend." Rocky was definitely one his favorite familiars, right up there with Luz. He was cool, and lots of fun, and he'd been nice to Koa when Koa had first showed up. So Rocky was definitely good in his book. "So how come you want to...
