Oh... [Boober sighs as he moves from crouching to just sitting there on the ground. Keepings his clothes clean is not the top priority here, as he puts a hand on either side of his head.] I-I didn't know... I thought Pokemon only attacked other Pokemon, and even that wasn't...

[He whimpers, very quietly.]

I shouldn't even be here.

[phoenixwiz]

And I guess that the same could apply to me too. I will admit though that the place I was at, Hisui, didn’t have humans and Pokémon living in harmony like what we are having in Jotho.

(He is still cautious about trusting Cara Liss and her time machine since the latter was what led to him and several others to be stranded on old Hisui in the first place. And he is hoping that she doesn’t mess around with it for the foreseeable future.)

Hey, um, maybe we can try to find a place where we can stay at without having to worry about wild Pokémon coming to scare us off. Even if it is a clearing that we can set up camp for the night.

[soupguy]

[The teen looks up with a light sniffle, and nods.]

Yeah.... Yeah, I think that's a good idea. There's safety in numbers, right?

[phoenixwiz]

I agree too. It is always a good idea to have a travel buddy along.

Dartrix! Dar-trix, Trix!

(Lily finally loosens up after fretting about the forest situation for a while as the small group soon begin their way out of the forest. It may take a while for him to help her to not let her fears get the best of her, but at least she doesn’t have to worry about wild Pokémon suddenly coming to fight her, Violet and Godric at night.)

Oh by the way, my name is Harry, Harry Potter. But you can just call me Harry. I have been in Jotho for a good while now and I am also a Trainer as well, although I am originally from England. Lily here is my starter when I came to Hisui and she is a great partner to be with.

Dar!

(Lily is already blushing at the compliment her Trainer has given onto her.)

[Boober gets to his feet, brushes off his clothes, and then picks up Archie in his arms, holding the Pokemon so they're facing each other. Volbeat is a better flashlight that way, and for all his tough guy posturing, Archie seems pleased to be hugged.]

It's nice to meet you, Harry. And Lily. I'm Boober, and this is Archie, and- Well, I don't know where England is, to be honest... Is that a Silly Creature community, I'm guessing?

[phoenixwiz]

Nice to meet you, Boober and Archie. I’m glad that we don’t worry about creepy stuff now that we’re in this together.

And why yes, it is a Silly Creature community: we don’t have Pokémon running around in the country although we have magical creatures who call England and nearby countries as home though.

[soupguy]

Well, I don't know about not worrying anymore... [That's a muttered aside, but then he speaks normally.] Yeah, you guys have a lot of monsters you like to hang out with, huh? I mean, they're not like Pokemon, but it's still-- Like those four-legged hairy beasts, those aren't too different from Pokemon.

There's magical creatures where I'm from, too, I suppose, but they're not nearly as big. Mostly.

[phoenixwiz]

Yep, there are plenty of benevolent creatures I can think of my head and several of them are four legs too. I once befriended a hippogriff back in my Third Year and he is a gentle and loyal friend to be with. One of my friends has even kept some of them as pets too and treated them as if they’re his children or friends.

Oh wow, there are also magical creatures in your home as well? That’s pretty brilliant! What kind of creatures are living in there if I may ask?

[soupguy]

[Boober stopped walking for a moment, and even as he picked that back up he was quiet to think a bit. Some were obvious, but other creatures... He really wasn't sure if they counted as magic.]

There's all sorts of cave critters, like grizzards and... Whatever Bongo is. [A shrug.] And the Gorgs might be magical? I'm not sure.

[phoenixwiz]

I haven’t heard of those creatures or read them on my textbook on magical creatures before, but they do sound just as interesting as the Pokémon in this world. I do think that the Gorgs could count as magical, I suppose.

(Lily rolls he eyes in bemusement as she owl giggles.

She knows that there is a difference between magical creatures and Pokémon but she didn’t bother to correct her wizard Trainer too much these days: he is pretty used to magical terms and magic in general, so it has become quite customary for him to make such analogies whenever non human and animal creatures are brought up.)
