[ There seem to be two Pokemon on this dispatch! You get a sense of both a Hisuian Typhlosion AND a Hisuian Zoroark, though the perspective is a little dizzying before settling down into (mostly) one psychic perspective. The Typhlosion's, probably; it's mostly his perspective with a vague sense of what he thinks he looks like now. Psychic pearls are hard, who knew? ]

Good afternoon, fellow passengers! I am Ingo, and this is Emmet - my brother.

[ So so smooth, it comes so naturally to introduce someone as his family member! ]

We are both from a world with Pokemon originally! We were humans there, and I'm afraid we do not have any idea how this might have happened - this is not the sort of thing that is supposed to be possible! But we would like to offer our help in navigating these new tracks! Between the two of us, we can help to identify your species and typing, as well as other facts about your new forms! We are also both very familiar with Pokemon battling! If you wish to learn to fight, we can provide assistance! I'm very excited to have battles in this new way, and the more people who can participate, the more fun it will be!

If you would like to speak in person, we are both in the Oran Berry Guild!

[ The perspective warps and shifts a bit, as you see Emmet moving forward, and also Emmet's own perspective as he does so. ]

— I am Emmet. What Ingo says is true! Yup! But also, we are willing to come to you if necessary? It would not be a good idea to start a battle near any housing, after all.

[ Emmet, it seems, is a man of much fewer words than his brother! At least when they're in the same space, anyway. His address is also smooth, very smooth, picking up after Ingo's like clockwork.

... for those who have already met them both and / or have heard at least some amount of their circumstances already, isn't there some kind of explanation missing? Oh well, must not be important. ]



(( Responses may come from either or both of them! ))

Is that so?

[How powerful it is to put a name to something!! Even if it's one that a couple of weird twins make uncertain eye contact about. Dark Heart sways his tail a bit, half-turned to glance back at it.]

Ha! A Dark type-- how fitting... [Glances up.] Say, a Nickit wouldn't happen to have any powers, would it?

[You'd think this would be innate (he would, anyway) but he just feels nimble.]

If by powers you mean Abilities, [ chiming in because that's proven to be a blind spot for Ingo so far, ] then mostly I think you are just ... fast.

[ either good at running away or fast if not carrying anything. as you do. ]

Oh, I'm sure I can bite! Want to see?

[It sounds playful rather than threatening, like he's chomping at the bit to... well... chomp at the bit!

There's a certain instinct that comes with having powers that you just feel. And then you just "do"! However, he hasn't really felt that since he's here. So Emmett's words make sense. But--]


Just fast? Hah! Well, that's good for something, at least.

[People will do just about anything to be the fastest! He used to be able to snap his fingers and make it so. Now it's his only ability? How tragically lame.]

Surely there's something else.

[If he eats his veggies and gets big and strong and makes a deal with another demon?]

[ Little do any of them know that speed is the most broken stat in PMD... ]

What do you mean by something else?

[ Speaking the metatext out loud. Does he mean Hidden Abilities? Those aren't exactly the most common... ]

I mean something else! How should I know what that is? You're the experts!

[The grass is greener on the other side of the fence but he doesn't know what kind of really cool fucking grass to envy, yet!! Dark Heart gestures vaguely;]

Though, I do like the sound of dark energy attacks...

What Ingo said. Lots of these things, many Pokemon can do. Though some in different ways from each other. It is just biology. Ingo mentioned Bite- [ actually, maybe Nickit's teeth might be a little small for that...? hmm, maybe after evolution? ] and Snarl but you can use your claws and tail too.

And you can learn more than just dark-type moves, if that is what you mean.
