Starr nodded distractedly. "Yeah. Maple told us she'll spill the rest of the story tomorrow, so I'm damn well gonna hold her to it. You might be able to get some more info from her then. Especially since her squad's been studying the machine you were in." Until then, probably best to...

Starr's tail flicked from side to side, pensive. "Yeah. I miss my team too. Can't imagine if I couldn't remember them."

"Yeah, she sure as hell isn't a Smeargle. Said she planned to tell everyone her whole deal tomorrow, but me and Nip grilled her until she told us she was a Voice of Life." Starr paused, then added, "Dunno whether it's bullshit or not, but it's pretty safe to say she's telling the truth about...

It was like an icy fist had grabbed hold of Starr's chest, clenched tight. "What--you don't think Giovanni could be here?" It wouldn't... it wouldn't be him. Not really. Another version of him. He wouldn't recognize her. But... Then something else jumped out at her. "Maple," Starr...

Starr snorted. Okay, that kind of helped take the edge off, at least a little. "Well, that's one way to put it. Another way would be... I don't know, fucking interdimensional siblings or something." Anything would be an improvement over her actual brother back home.

"Giovanni's your... dad." Starr was still frozen, unable to process it. What the hell. What the hell. If it wasn't bad enough that there were multiple versions of Team Rocket, there were multiple versions of him. What the hell. SIlver. His name was Silver. And Nate had known that. Maybe...

Well didn't he sound confident about that. "Yeah, Rocket sure as hell never had shadow tech in my world either. Or fucking portals, for that matter. Believe me, it's weird as hell." Starr went rigid, staring at him in disbelief. What? He was... what? How? Should she... tell him?

Starr stared at him, a chill running down her spine. Yeah, they were onto something for sure. But if he had access to everything in the base, then... "You asked for names. It's probably stupid to expect our worlds to have the same people in them, but..." Should she be saying this? Fuck. "In...

Battling against Team Rocket. Well, he'd have had plenty to talk about with Jade. But if he knew more about them than the average person, then... "If you were fighting them, any chance you might've been a infiltrator? My friends and I had a lot of experience at that. Any memory of seeing the...

Starr stared at him. He knew about Team Rocket. That didn't... that didn't mean he was... pretty much everyone in Kanto knew about them. But still, that definitely confirmed that his world was like hers in at least one way. Starr turned to see the Mudkip that had suddenly barged into the...

Starr put a paw to her chin. "Hm. Well, there was one thing that jumped out at me." She grabbed her badge from her bag and brought up the photos she'd taken of the salvaged bits of shadowmachine. "Does this writing mean anything to you? It's Tohjoan--the language I spoke back home. Thought...

Starr leaned back. "Damn. That really sucks. That machine we busted you out of was made by humans, so I was hoping we could find out more about the kinda world it came from. So much for that, I guess."

Starr blinked at him. "Wait. You don't even remember what humans look like?" Holy shit, that was some amnesia. "You mentioned some flashes of feeling, though... what kind?" At least, from his movements, it looked like he wasn't used to the whole not having limbs thing. She gave the...

Great. Ray of sunshine, this one. Then again, waking up at a ball of gas after being stuffed inside a metal ball of evil would probably piss anyone off. "So what's the story with how you got here? The rest of us were dragged here by some kinda fake, dimension-hopping Charizard."

It took a bit of digging, but Starr eventually found out that Cosmog had left the library and gone to the guild study to read. She found him there, in that bland, lifeless room, accompanied only by one of the Charmander, who seemed to be doing her own thing. Starr hadn't seen him yet since...
