[...You know what? Actually? Scratch that, Gladion has no clue what the fuck is going on.
And besides his sort of...promise?...to converse with Leo, Gladion also doesn't just want to stand here and scrape information off of him. Feels bad.
So.]
My world is inhabited by humans, and countless species of Pokemon. Of which a lot resemble animals - you'd think they'd have to be parallel universe counterparts. But there are also plenty of plant Pokemon - [kinda holds up a hand demonstratively?] - that can move around like "animals" do. And inorganic Pokemon, and Ghost-types, and synthetic Pokemon. The kinds of things that, in this world, I've only seen in monsters. So it's not a perfect equivalence. And they don't - most Pokemon don't speak a human language, but they're...I don't want to generalize and say more intelligent than the animals I've met, but it's different.
[hm]
...They definitely have a lot more say in what goes on in the world than animals seem to. So, that's where I'm coming from.
