"..." Dusk is silent for a moment, contemplating this. "Fortunately, we don't have many wars on my world, and not for a while." He glances at the screen again. "Still... if that is the case, and there is some sort of experimental creature out there... we'd best be careful."

"The only type of fusion I know about for certain is the legends surrounding Kyurem, and even that's just a myth at best" Dusk replied. "But, the islands I'm referring to... well, I wouldn't be surprised. They have a reputation for aggressiveness, and-" his snout wrinkled in distaste "-I think...

Dusk gave a slight shudder at the mention of that word. It wasn't much, barely noticeable, but it was there. "Perhaps" he said, considering the rest of what Lee said. "But this thing is some sort of... what was it?" He checked the screen again. "...fusion of these two-" Something clicked...

Dusk read through the details on the device's screen. "Thunder Continent... not one we have." He frowned. "Shadow Pokemon? I've never heard of those..." Another term for dark-types, perhaps? He somehow doubted that-the article implied that Pokemon were becoming Shadow Pokemon, which didn't seem...

Dusk peered at the device's screen with interest, sitting down next to Lee. "I must say, this device is truly fascinating" he said. "I'll have to remember to ask my guildmaster to contact the Expedition Society for some of these for the guild. You say there's a whole library on this little thing?"

"Hmm..." Dusk had to think about that proposal for a moment. "That feels like an invasion of privacy... but I suppose I've done similar myself before when dealing with missing-Pokemon cases..." The first bit of the suggestion interested him more, however. "A summary of the village might be a...

"Very well." Dusk was a little disappointed, but did his best not to let it show. For a moment, he wasn't sure how to respond further, and decided to change the subject. "I noticed you typing into that device while we were speaking... you've got it working, I suppose?"

"Well... alright, then." Dusk shrugged. "If you're sure you're not in danger... What is it, if you don't mind me asking?" He was rather curious. "If it's something you'd rather not talk about, that's fine."

"Perhaps so..." Dusk shrugged. "But, well... you have to start some time, ri-" His eyes widened. "Wh-what's happening to you? Are you alright?" As a fire-type, he was no stranger to wisps of smoke curling off the bodies of his fellow packmates, but he was reasonably certain a Lycanroc wasn't a...

"Not a problem" Dusk gave the Lycanroc a wide smile. He never really thought he was the kind of Pokemon for making speeches like that, and briefly wondered how his friends and family would think of him if they could hear him now. "Perhaps so. But right now, it is positive, friend."

"I haven't seen anything yet that would paint you in a bad light, Lee. Would a criminal help someone who's lost, stranded in a new world, like you did for me?" He paused for a moment, then let out a brief laugh. "I suppose if you are a criminal as you say, the answer to that would be 'yes'. So...

"A criminal..." Dusk stared at Lee. "I... I feel like I should be trying to arrest you, then." Part of my job, after all... But, despite that, he could think of numerous reasons why doing so would be a bad idea. He didn't have his team as backup and didn't particularly want to get into a fight...

"Well, alright then..." Dusk decided to try a different line of questioning. "If you're not a legendary, how did you prevent yourself from eventually dying of old age? Surely any normal Pokemon's age would catch up with then eventually?" Another thought occurred to him. "Or... is your age just...

"Legends, yes. I could understand them being so old... but in my world, Lycanroc aren't legendary Pokemon. Is that different on yours?" Dusk shook his head in amazement. "I'm barely thirty... I can't even imagine living for hundreds of years." "Over a million..." Dusk breathed, barely audible...

"...It does make a certain amount of sense" said Dusk thoughtfully. "If I knew humans... if I saw them every day, I guess I wouldn't be very excited about them either." "A few hundred-" Dusk spluttered. "I... I've only heard of a few myths of Pokemon living that long! And nothing actually...

"Fascinating!" Dusk said, with full sincerity. This time, he couldn't possibly miss the annoyance in the rock-type's tone, but the description of the world amazed him regardless. "I... take it that it's not quite so fascinating when you live there. But to me, the concepts alone are amazing. I...

"Well... if you're sure." Dusk watched Lee fiddling with the device with no small level of interest. After a moment of this, he decided to voice a question or two to fill the silence. "So, these things... or devices like them, at least... are common in your world, are they? What's your world like?"

"Ah, yes, that sounds right" Dusk nodded, trying to remember what he'd read about Morpeko. They were known for their split personalities, if he remembered correctly. That certainly explained why the house looked like it did. "Perhaps" the Houndoom frowned, "we might want to be a little...

"Hmm..." Dusk looked over the contraption. "Do you have any idea how to work it? I wouldn't even know where to start with something like this." He stared at the screen, frowning. "I see the owner of this device has some issues... maybe they own the books over there as well?" He pointed at the...

"...how interesting." Dusk studied the device. "It seems to be some sort of advanced technology? Hmm... I believe the Expedition Society from my world has something like this... but I've never seen one up close."
