The Meganium smiled back. "I am not sure where this is, either. Could you tell me what your teacher is like? Perhaps I could help you look for them."

 

[Hanafuda]

“Alright. He’s a human with glasses and a big white sweater. Should be easy to find.”

 

[IFBench]

The Meganium's eyes widened, and his petals tensed up. "A human?"

 

[Hanafuda]

The Farfetch’d looked confused at the Meganium. “Eh? You don’t like ‘em?”

 

[IFBench]

"No, that's not it," the Meganium said, eyes narrowing. "Humans don't exist where I'm from, aside from humans who have become Pokemon."

 

[Hanafuda]

“Oh. Holy crap. That sounds pretty insane.” The Farfetch’d tilted his head back and forth. “I mean, humans turning into Pokémon? That’s impossible. Far-fetched, even.” He chuckled for a moment. “I’m sorry, that sounded so bad.”

 

[IFBench]

"My partner, Lidequir, is one. She'd love that pun," the Meganium said, before pausing. "Are there a lot of humans around here?"

Could they be in the world of humans?

 

[Hanafuda]

“Yeah, as far as I can tell, there’s a lot of ‘em around here,” the Farfetch’d responded. He looked around, seeming rather worried. “Doin’ those Pokémon battles and throwin’ balls around… It can get pretty cramped in there…” He had a relaxed expression when he put his empty wing forward, finger-feathers splayed open. “Anyway, since we’re getting to chat and know each other, name’s Jack. Didn’t catch your name, though.”

[Yeah, I’d say this is the world with the Trainers.]

 

[IFBench]

"My name is Acacia, of Team Seedlings," the Meganium says, smiling as they extended a vine towards Jack's wing.

 

[Hanafuda]

“Heh, that’s quite the name. So, wanna chat more as we look for teacher?” Jack pointed behind him with his leek. “Think we’ll see him over there.”

 

[IFBench]

"That sounds good," Acacia said, turning his neck to look around.

 

[Hanafuda]

Jack started walking, leek over his shoulder. “So, you were sayin’ about humans turning into Pokémon? Like, that’s nuts—it’s like the stuff of legends and some weird fairy tales!”

 

[IFBench]

"That's just normal in my world. Humans are summoned and turned into Pokemon to save the world," Acacia said, his antennae swaying in the breeze.

 

[Hanafuda]

“Ooh, cool! So they get to be heroes, eh? Ya think I can be like ‘em? Savin’ the world sounds awesome. Maybe if teacher was with me for that…”

 

[IFBench]

"Perhaps!" Acacia said, smiling, before his smile disappears. "Though it's wrought with hardships."

 

[Hanafuda]

“I’ll be able to handle it after some more training,” Jack said, giving Acacia a reassuring look. “It can’t be too different from fightin’ other Pokémon, either wild or trained, right?”

 

[IFBench]

"It's a lot different," Acacia said, a wistful look in his eyes.

 

[Hanafuda]

“Hm? Well, how different? I mean, you already said that part about humans, so it really made me grind my gears.” Jack looked at his body for a moment. His long arms, his chest, his torso, his thighs. “Can it work in reverse? Like, a Pokémon turnin’ into a human? Well, Ditto can do that, but…”

 

[IFBench]

"I...truthfully, I do not know," Acacia said, looking at Jack. "I've never heard of that happening before."

 

[Hanafuda]

“It’s still cool to think about,” Jack said. He turned around, walking backwards while moving his arms around his upper body. “Which reminds me, I get weird looks from other Pokémon, sayin’ things about me.” He caught a glance of a Pachirisu on a tree branch giving him a curious look. “Like that.”
