Tristan, Tristan, Tristan. Dis is a game world. Can't ya here da background music? Hermos mighta passed-on or whatevah, but dey made a cahd'a him aftah dat and so it's only logical dat you'd be able ta find a version'a him in dis place. Digital or not doe', he's still a dood instead of a monstah. I'm not gonna keep him in a friggin' Pokeball.

[Joey gestures to the other Pokeballs on his belt.]

Hermos is probably just playin' da slots back in da city, but I got da rest of da Duelin' Team here doe'!
