Months ago, back home, his old self probably would have been annoyed. He'd never wanted anyone trying to look out for him. It just felt like they were slowing him down or annoying him. But now... Perhaps it was something about Dave's attitude, the way he seemed almost stressed, and so...

Koa's eyes practically glowed. "Xerneas chose you? That's sick! I guess it means more trouble but that's actually really cool." He wondered if he lived in a world like that, if he'd ever be chosen. There was that legend about a Rainbow Hero he'd read, but that was more children's tale than...

Maybe they weren't so different. "That kind of sounds like being a trainer!" Koa said. "I travel with my team and we go on adventures and try to train to be stronger." A sudden thought occurred to him, and his eyes widened. "Hey! I have to know, before the final battle and all, what was that...

Another all Pokemon sort of world. That seemed almost as common as humans. "Maybe we aren't that unlike though. There's more to similarity than appearances, right? Like..." He frowned in thought, his tail swishing side to side. "What did you like to do for fun back home?"

That felt a little familiar, didn't it? Most of his first days he'd spent in the library, enjoying the solitude it offered. "Yeah, I used to hang out at the library a lot when I first got here. I'm not really big on people, and I sort of arrived really late. What kind of world are you from?"...

A smart aleck remark about how 'close didn't count' popped into Koa's mind, but he kept it to himself. No need to be too smug about it. "I like the woods, I guess. Reminds me of being a trainer back home, exploring in the wilderness. Did you have a spot like this back on your Cibus?" It still...

Koa shrugged. "Sort of? But not really. I mean, we have a good track record so far I guess. And we beat you guys," he added with a playful smirk. It wasn't like he could afford to be nervous anyway. Either they succeeded or... He recalled the strange meeting with the 'Overseer' or whatever. If...

Koa's ear flicked at the sound of the voice and he paused, then turned towards the sound. It wasn't anyone he recognized, at least not from Team Spectrum, even though they'd used his name. A moment later, they identified themselves. Ben... right. The Arcanine from Miracle Matters. What could he...

Koa loped along through the woods, enjoying the atmosphere. He'd been trying his best to visit all the sights of Cibus he could, since it'd be the last time he'd see them, probably. Of course, he wasn't sure what difference it would make if he'd just forget it all, but it was still fun.

"I guess they could?" Koa conceded. "But then the legendary would have to listen to them. And-" Did that really matter? Dave had a point. Caution couldn't hurt. "You're right though. I don't know if I'd even remember, but I'll try to be careful. Thanks." This time, there was a genuine...

Koa couldn't help but laugh a little at Dave's bewilderment. It probably did sound a little crazy. "Yeah, you can do that. At least, I believe so. Pokeballs in my world... You wouldn't be able to catch a legendary unless it wanted to. Plus I probably still need to be able to defeat one. Not as...

"I guess I don't know yet," Koa said, after a long pause. "I know I wanted to catch a legendary to show the legendaries there's good humans I guess. And show people that they can still work together but..." What did he really want? He'd been thinking about it, ever since Icetales had asked him...

Something told Koa Dave knew, maybe better than many, what that felt like. And somehow, Dave's reassurance that wanting the world to be better simply meant that he cared... he felt better, in some way. Perhaps he did care. Maybe the reassurance was what he'd been looking for. "Do you care?" he...

Dave's words stung, but in a way that alleviated some of the pain. He let out a long, heavy sigh. Laying down, he rested his head on his paws. "Yeah. Yeah you're right." He fell silent for a moment. "I guess... I know I can't save him. I just wish things could have been different. Did you...

"I know," Koa hissed out, holding back the turbulence inside him. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to take another breath. "I know he's a nutcase, I know he's a monster, I just-" Just what? Wanted to save him? Why did he even care he hated him anyway. He groaned. "Maybe if I'd-" he let...

"I-I don't know," he muttered. Maybe, a long time ago, he'd thought Cyrus was trying to do good. He remembered the speeches, the promises, and the fancy words about how the world was filled with injustices. How he wanted to fix it. Rid it of imperfection. Koa shook his head, staring at his...

Everyone wins... Right? Koa suddenly felt uncomfortably hot, his skin prickling and a lump growing in his throat. He knew this might come up, but he'd wanted Dave's opinion. Would he even care? Probably not. He'd just forget it all soon anyways right? So what difference did it make? He...

"Hell-dimension?" Koa cocked his head and frowned. "No. At least I don't think so. I've been there before-not my worlds, but the one on Cibus. When we were looking for Sword." Then again, Cibus was a much nicer realm. Somehow he doubted his Reverse World was just filled with weird pokemon. "In...

"N-no, not exactly." Koa fidgeted. "Just... dragged him into the Reverse World." Away from the imperfections he hated so much. Probably happier there, like Icetales had said.

Koa shook his head. "Not exactly. People from my world don't have powers. And I don't think they can really get them either." Unless those weird stories about aura users and stuff were true, but that was something else entirely. "He got close though. By controlling Palkia and Dialga's and using...
