Dylan simply stood in place, not being able to avoid the small sensation of awkwardness of where he was. Here he was, suddenly surrounded by Pokemon he could understand, being a Pokemon himself somehow.  As the Chimchar began talking with the Luxray about him and the Mawile possibly staying at a guild (which stood out to him, the only guilds in his dictionary being the merchant guilds of old), he shifted back from side to side in his amphibian body, oddly getting more and more used to it. 

However, it was put to the test as the Mawile turned her, at least, he thought the Mawile was a she, attention to him, asking him questions about himself. However, the moment to test his body came after the questions, being shrugged off slightly before he could get a response in, with the Mawile handing him an apple. Now this sounded simple enough, but to grab an apple with four legs instead of two legs and arms was a bit trickier than it sounded, as he quickly found out. He tried reaching one of his front legs out to grab it, but quickly changed his mind when his balance was thrown off a bit, causing him to stumble. Instead, he grabbed it with his mouth instead, simply holding it in place. Needless to say, he felt even more awkward then.

Thankfully, the Mawile’s attention, Celty’s attention, as he learned, shifted towards the Chimchar and Luxray after offering him a place to stay with her if all else failed. This opportunity wasn’t squandered, as Dylan started to test out using a leg… er, hand… paw? Whatever it was in his case, he tried to use the front right one, lifting it off the ground slightly before returning to the earth, repeating this to get used to it. Once he felt confident enough, he lifted it to his mouth, grabbing the apple as he took a bite. It was surprisingly good for just an apple. If this was how all food tasted in this foreign place, he wouldn’t mind eating at least.

The Mudkip’s attention turned elsewhere as yet another new voice pierced through the moonlit night, causing him to turn and see the new arrival. It was a Lucario, one who seemed fairly familiar with the Chimchar. However, naturally the fighting type didn’t know him or Celty, both of them being outsiders, asking of their names. [color=0072bc]“Ah…! Well, I’m…”[/color] He paused for a moment, his name lost in his apparent amnesia. However, his lips moved on their own, letting out a soft whisper that gave him another memory, [color=0072bc]“...Dylan”.[/color] 

Before he could elaborate, however, it seemed the Lucario also knew the Luxray… er… Luxray?  Dylan didn’t know of any disguises that were that realistic. At least, until a sudden, with a small retort to the apparent higher ranking Lucario, the Luxray disappeared, leaving a much smaller Zorua in its place! Naturally, Dylan didn’t expect this, his surprise causing the apple to be fumbled in his hands. 

As the water type regained a grip on it, the Zorua spoke some more about needing to save some others in the forest. Of course, with impeccable timing, yet [i]another[/i] pokemon appeared out of the blue, a Totodile running at a tired sprint addressing the Lucario, Spirit it seemed, with a similar message about how two Pokemon needed help. Spirit seemed fairly shocked by this, leaving the group with some words aimed at who Dylan could only presume was the Chimchar and Zorus, before dashing off in the forest. A small part of Dylan’s mind couldn’t help but feel worried about the two Pokemon out there, but his attention still rested in the group of Pokemon in front of him.

The Chimchar and Zorua took the lead, seeming to live in and know their way around the village. This left Dylan, apple in mouth, Celty, who was saying something about having to babysit, and the new arrival, the Totodile, to follow behind as they were led to a possible place to stay. As they walked, their destination became more clear, the guild seeming more impressive with every approaching step. It wasn’t too far off luckily, as they arrived there fairly quickly. 

Once inside, the Chimchar walked off while the Zorua introduced himself as Milton and started checking something on a bulletin. After that, Milton walked off as well, leaving him, Celty, and the Totodile to stand there. He decided to break the silence by introducing himself to Celty, in case she hadn’t heard him before, and to the Totodile. [color=0072bc]"Um, I suppose I should introduce myself now, huh…? I’m Dylan.”[/color] Before he could say any more, Milton returned with some information.  The Zorua proceeded to explain the current housing situation, three beds being open conveniently enough. However, the question of who would go where was left hanging in the air, a two one split necessary. 

[color=0072bc]“I’d be fine with any bed really,”[/color] Dylan said to the other two, apple in hand to allow him to talk. His attention then shifted to Milton to answer his question, apple raised in hand. [color=0072bc]“And I’m good, but thanks for the kind offer.”[/color]
