[The man shown in the response video isn't visibly Galra either, although there are a couple of tells. Human irises aren't usually bright gold, for one, and the streaks in his hair are actually faint lavender rather than the grey they might be mistaken for at first glance.

Thace for his part is almost bursting with hope. Could it be? It very well could, but the transformation to human does complicate matters. At least there's instant confirmation that this man was also another species.]

Brother...?

[It's soft and hopeful, but quiet enough to be easily brushed aside if it doesn't get the response he's hoping for. A brother Blade (who's been a Blade longer than young Keith has) would be so welcome.]

To answer your questions, you are in another world, or reality if you prefer that term for it. Everyone brought here from their home realities is changed to fit the human norms for the most part. The most prominent theory as to how is that the being locally considered a god brings us here for some purpose known only to them. It takes a while to get used to the change in species, but the Pokemon partners and the peaceful state of this world almost make up for it completely.
