"Hey, this is Hunk. Guess I'm busy. Or I left my phone on silent. I do that a lot. Sorry. Anyway, yeah! Leave me a message, and I'll call you back. I promise, okay? Okay. Bye!"

What? There's a Pokemon Protective Services dude running around now?

Do you think you can appeal to the authorities here about it? I mean, they probably do count as animals, right?

Re: (voice)

[h2no]

There's two League champions here. I wouldn't put this on May because she's eleven, but the other one should've done something. They're not protective services, but they have some authority over this stuff.

[not that archie expected either of them to do shit, it's just the "clean" answer.]

I dunno. They're otherwordly so... I dunno.

(voice)

[hunksmash]

Cool. I mean, it's not cool, but-- You know. I just figured I'd ask about it.

Anyway, I guess I'll just keep him talking? Or lie about your whereabouts? Or something like that?

Re: (voice)

[h2no]

Tell him what you want, kid. There's no point getting involved.

[he shrugs, then remembers hunk can't see him.]

Thanks for the concern. I'll be fine, it's just... world politics, y'know?

(voice)

[hunksmash]

I guess so. Every world's got some kind of issue, probably, and the 'porter is just gonna tug whoever in.

You sure there's nothing in particular you want me to do about it?

Re: (voice)

[h2no]

Certain. Just... watch him, I guess. He's a real angry kid and holds grudges easily. If he gets these Pokémon back, he'll be an angry kid with a grudge and a seven ft alligator that can fire out water hard enough to tear through metal.

[hunksmash]

... What is wrong with your world?!

Re: (voice)

[h2no]

[archie just laughs.]

Feraligatrs are evolved from Totodiles. Kids get 'em when they start out... you should talk to May sometime. Check out her starter. It could probably take out a skyscraper, that's all I'm sayin'.

(voice)

[hunksmash]

How are you people alive? I'm so confused.

What's hers? A ground sloth that spits up acid and controls the weather?!

Re: (voice)

[h2no]

Most of them are friendly.

...

A giant chicken that shoots fire. Seriously.

(voice)

[hunksmash]

[ There's a noise that's something between a sigh and a panicked squeak. ]

I'd rather not check out somebody's giant chicken that shoots fire and could take out a skyscraper.

You said they let kids have these things?!

Re: (voice)

[h2no]

It's really friendly, actually. Likes to run a lot.

[he snorts.]

Yep. They're less strong when the kids get 'em, but they grow up fast.

(voice)

[hunksmash]

Wait, wait, wait. Hang on. We have to back up for a second, because I glossed over something really important.

The word 'evolve' got dropped. Is that just growing up, in this instance, or...?

Because that's not what that means. Mostly. For sane worlds.

Re: (voice)

[h2no]

Ah... yeah, it's almost instant where I come from, not over a long period of time. I should show you sharpedo's mega-evolution some day. It's temporary, but the same kinda thing. Energy is utilised a lot differently.

(voice)

[hunksmash]

No. Nonono. That's not-- Temporary?!

And what the heck is "MEGA-evolution"?!

Re: (voice)

[h2no]

It's-- look, I'll tell ya and show ya when I'm not, like, being actively hunted. Yeah?

(voice)

[hunksmash]

Yeah. Yeah, of course. It's not like it's super important or urgent or anything, just-- Just mystifying.

Uh... Stay safe? I guess?

Re: (voice)

[h2no]

I don't mind. Sharpedo and Muk like the attention, anyway.

[he ADORES them.]

Thanks, kid. See ya soon.
