"I see..." For a moment, Dusk sounded a little disappointed, but it passed quickly. "Could your mother be here too, then?" "If she is, don't worry. Everyone I've met so far has been kind and helpful, and I'm sure they would be happy to give you support in dealing with someone like that."

"Oh? Your sister is here?" Dusk gave an encouraging smile. "Well, in that case, you should take this opportunity to try and reconnect with her. Away from your mother." "...strange that you would both turn up here, though. A coincidence? Or could there be something more to it? Could there be any...

Dusk stepped towards Gladion and offered a comforting paw. "I'm sorry" he said. "That must be awful for you. Your mother sounds like a horrible person. I can definitely understand your wish to run away." "You said you had a sister, right? How did she handle it? Were you able to remain in...

"That sounds horrible... I can definitely understand not wanting to lead the pack. My parents weren't pack leaders, so there was little chance of me becoming one, but I definitely remember thinking about it, and thinking about how I would definitely not be cut out to be a pack leader. And that...

Dusk was silent for a moment. "...that's... awful. What do you mean born into a role? I might be able to relate... sort of. I was never satisfied with the pack life that I was expected to lead... but I didn't... couldn't... leave until I was an adult." As soon as he said that, something else...

"Not really..." Dusk shrugged. "This is the first time I'm really considering it. I suppose if I was another Pokemon... well, perhaps I would have grown up in a place like Treasure Town. I think I would have preferred that to the wild, if I'd had the option. But if I was born in the wild as...

"Well, I can't speak for Caterpie, but I've met a Butterfree or two and they seemed intelligent enough. I wouldn't say species doesn't matter at all, though. It depends on where you are. For example, in Treasure Town, where I live, I would say species doesn't matter very much. But out in the...

"Oh? So humans do everything in your world?" Dusk considered that. "I suppose if all your world's Pokemon are feral, it makes sense... Rather difficult for me to imagine, I must say, but it does make sense."

Dusk grinned, delighted for an opportunity to discuss his specialist subject. Well, it wasn't really his specialist subject-history of technology wasn't his best suit-but it was close at least. "Well, I believe, the fossil revival technique was first created on the Air Continent..." he thought...

"..." Dusk had lost Gladion around the word 'genetic'. "Uh, not hypothetical as such" he said. "I'm genuinely interested... but I'm afraid I'm not particularly a science Pokemon. I meant more about the general level of technology your world has. In my world, for example, we've worked out how to...

"I see..." Dusk took a moment to consider Gladion's words. "So you're an artificial species... one created by humans, you mean? How would one create an entire species? Is your world that advanced?"

"That's a helmet?" Now that his attention was drawn to it, Gladion's head did look somewhat metallic. Then again, he supposed that he could be a steel-type. A thought occurred to him and he glanced down at his bag. If that had survived coming through with him... "Were you wearing the helmet...

At the mention of Machoke, Dusk flinched briefly. "Uh... Machoke, right." He shook his head to try and clear it. "You mean, you were a biped before? I suppose I can see why that would be difficult to adjust to, then."

"Oh?" Dusk cocked his head to one side and looked over the Type:Null. It wasn't a Pokemon he was actually familiar with. "I... well, I suppose if I became an entirely different Pokemon, I might dislike it too. I can only hope that your new form is at least similar to your original one?"

"...that does sound a little like our old legends, I have to admit" said Dusk. "A world entirely populated with humans does sound immensely fascinating, though. I imagine it would have a completely different history than mine does" his eyes were shining now "with all sorts of amazing legends and...

"A world where all Pokemon are ferals?" It sounded odd to Dusk, but not completely alien. After all, mystery dungeons were full of ferals already... was there any reason they couldn't be the dominant species? Or maybe he was getting things all wrong... "So... in your world, humans are more...

"No" Dusk replied. "I'm a Pokemon through and through. And yes, some of us live in houses in my world. Yours do not? Do all Pokemon live in the wild in your world?" He frowned. "And they don't talk? How do they communicate, then?"

Dusk chuckled. "Yes, I suppose we were. Nice to meet you, Gladion. So... are you" can't believe I'm asking this so casually "one of these 'humans-turned-Pokemon' that are apparently rather common here? Or are you an ordinary Pokemon?"

Dusk sensed the approaching Pokemon and looked up. "Ah, hello there!" he said cheerily, giving the Type:Null a friendly smile. "You were the Pokemon who arrived at the same time as me, correct? I, ah, apologize for my attitude earlier... I was panicking then, and wasn't in my right state of...

Dusk had decided to go for a walk to clear his head after everything that had happened last night. He'd managed to get some sleep (somehow) and had woken up to Lee already having gone, and so he'd decided to wander down to the river for some fresh air. It really wasn't much of a beach, he had...
