Box 3 [The birds are coming!]

[eeveedispenser]

[The video cuts on with Bill fumbling around with the camera, trying to find a steady position for it with one hand as the other is being used as a perch by a colorful little mess of feathers. Once the camera is settled, the Chatot has already started making its way up Bill's arm as if it was pretending to scale a mountain.]

Ah, hello! Does this little fellow belong to anyone? He seems very well socialized.

Yo ho!

...Among pirates, apparently.

Call me Ishmael! Chato~!

[A chuckle] He's safe and happy right now, but if he looks familiar I'm sure he'd very much like to get back to his home. Thank you!

Ulp.

As Audino finally gets a swipe toward Chatot going (FLY, FLY-), Otogi stiffens.

Uhhhh... "..." After a few awkward moments he'll eventually manage to cough and type in a 'sorry'.

Eventually.

[eeveedispenser]

[Chatot finally lets off, landing on Bill's shoulder as he tries to process this new information. Was it...an accessory? He's seen people wear costume parts like this, but...]

...For what?

[puppypaws]

Ahhhh... Well, I might not have been entirely honest about being mute.

"Hrrrnnnnn...." That sounded suspiciously like a zorua whine there, and-

Here- I have a feeling the pokemon in unova aren't familiar to you, right? Look up number '570' in the pokedex. Uhhhh...

Okay?

[eeveedispenser]

[...Well alright. Out comes the Pokedex and he scrolls through, reading the text under his breath.]

#570, Zorua, the Tricky Fox Pokemon. To protect themselves from danger, they hide their true identities by trans...forming into....people and....Pokemon.

[His eyes widen as he reads, slowly looking up from the Pokedex back to Otogi's face.]

[puppypaws]

"Rrrrnnnnn..." And yet this is a little more than mimicry it seems, as he rubs the back of his neck uneasily.

It's a little more complex than that on my end... In my world, I was turned into a zorua from a human for some reason... ...but when getting here, I was stuck in shift instead of just turning back, or being a normal Zorua. It's troublesome..!

[eeveedispenser]

I...I see. [The information takes a few more moments to process.]

A Pokemon...trainer. [A glance towards Audino and Golett] Yet, you're not a Pokemon at the same time? That is confusing...

[puppypaws]

As the others nod, he shrugs, smiling and laughing sheepishly.

It can't be helped..! Golett was with me when I woke up, and more importantly, the only way back is supposedly through the badges- Plus, like this, I can't fight as a pokemon... ...So can be read as he looks over his hand with a frown.
