A grunt was Koa's only response. They can't change what you are. Who you are. "It just seems like..." He paused. He supposed it didn't matter what he told Owen, since they wouldn't be on this world much longer. "Not for me. My problems aren't that bad." But Brisa had gone, hadn't she? And...

"I said I'm doing fine," he hissed. He couldn't help saying it, it was second nature by now. Stifling his frustrations, he stared back down at his paws. "I don't need help," he said quietly. You've already said too much. But Owen wasn't wrong. Was he? Koa shifted on the bed. His head ached...

Koa snorted. "Wheat?" He almost rolled his eyes and stopped himself. Then he shook his head. "The uh... therapist? That's... that's not really my thing." he tried his be to sound somewhat understanding, even though he failed to see how talking to some random person could help him. The last thing...

Koa gritted his teeth. His instincts called for him to disregard Owen. After all, even with his ability he couldn't actually see inside Koa's mind. He can't see the darkness you carry. He doesn't know you. But he believed Owen wouldn't have said it if he didn't mean it. In fact, it almost...

The Swinub froze the sound of Rocky's voice, nose twitching. When Rocky tossed the Oran berry out, it suddenly darted forward, snatching it before retreating a few feet away to watch him curiously as it ate. "I think its interested," Echo whispered, smiling. "Maybe it likes the berries." This...

"Oh nothing big," Koa said bitterly. "Only used the power of legendaries to enslave Dialga and Palkia to rewrite the universe and try to make it perfect." He laughed humorlessly. Just like Soda. Except they'd saved Soda. But... What makes you think you can be different? That you are different...

Koa on chewed Owen's words, trying his best to take them to heart. Surely someone who'd lived a bunch of lifetimes had some advice to offer. Even though he wasn't quite sure just how much of the advice he actually understood. He let out a sigh eventually. Owen was right, at least partially. He...

Talking to Owen was maddening. His gaze subconsciously shifted to the door before he dismissed the thought. Not like Owen wouldn't be able to tell why he was leaving anyway. Besides, he didn't care about that anymore. "I don't know. I would just keep trying I guess," he mumbled. Fear gnawed...

Echo nodded in agreement. Several yards ahead, a small Swinub root through the undergrowth, perhaps searching for some kind of food. Its furry brown body was just barely visible amonst the trees and brush, and Echo flicked his ears toward it to indicate its position. "So how does this work on...

Koa spent a great deal of his time in recovery trying to keep himself busy. Echo stayed by his side nearly constantly, keeping him company. Despite his best attempts to relax he can't help but feel on edge, his thoughts always wandering back to the fight, particularly to Soda. He briefly asked...

"I'm not going to fail," he replied, almost a little too quickly. "I'd make sure I didn't." You know you can't gurantee that. You nearly lost them once before. He dug his paws into his bed. The thought of a world without his team, without Hazard and Rascal and all the rest...

Koa stiffened. He frowned slightly, pushing back the unpleasant memories. Scrapper's cry of pain in that alley. An enraged Rapidash, poised to strike. Entei's cold eyes as he struck down Anubis. But to lose them all except Echo? The thought made his head spin a little. His team was everything...

Koa narrowed his eyes, studying Owen. He wasn't sure what to make of Owen's response. At the very least though, he seemed honest. He wouldn't have said it if he didn't really have a reason to believe it. That doesn't mean he's right. Curiosity blurred into his hesitance. "What's the...

Rocky was pretty fast, faster than he'd expected. That was good, it meant he could keep up, and Echo could fly faster without worrying. "The legendaries in Koa's world are really nice though! At least..." he paused, the image of Raikou's cold eyes flashing through his mind, and the Entei they'd...

Koa made a non-committal grunt. Almost everything Owen said made sense, he supposed. Pokemon were smart, but they didn't seem to have that same drive humans in his world did. Perhaps that was what drove legendaries of the past to join humans? A respect for that spirit Owen talked about? That...

((sick. same brain)) Echo chittered in amusement. He thought there was more to it than that, but he didn't want to press. Rocky seemed like he was having fun. "It's this way!" he chirped, heading north. He kept his pace on the slower side, so he wouldn't leave Rocky behind. "So what was...

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...
