“No they wouldn’t, but it might be for their own good. This world has been hard on them. Your Pokémon are smaller mostly and resemble some of the animals here. But there is no good place for dragons.”

“When it’s just me and them, I can handle it, for the most part. But with those ultra beasts, it’s like I had a thousand voices in my head. It was deafening, I couldn’t hear myself think. Then it was like I became apart of them and them a part of me. I don’t want that to happen again.”
