You know, there's this thing that's been bugging me for a while.

[Ryner's sitting at a desk, an open notebook and a couple of open books in front of him. Looks like someone's been doing something other than sleeping.]

In the Pokedex, it lists each kind of Pokemon and gives it a species classification, right? Like how Clefairy is the Fairy Pokemon, or Absol is the Disaster Pokemon, or Joltik is the Attaching Pokemon. And I mean, most of them are fine.

But then you've got Noctowl, the Owl Pokemon. And, well, I know what an Owl is, but they don't exist in this world, right? There aren't any normal animals here, only Pokemon and people. So why would they classify it as an Owl if they shouldn't know what an Owl is?

And okay, sure, owl is in Noctowl's name, but something like Buneary, the Rabbit Pokemon, or Cyndaquil, the Fire Mouse Pokemon. How do you explain those?


[Also, in the background, a Buneary might be seen rummaging through Ryner's bag while a shiny Togetic and a Munna look on, but that's probably not important...]

Mm, also valid. This world is quite odd... What if a visitor like us named them for the citizens here, long ago? I doubt it means much to them.

...That sounds alarmingly like the locals' earliest reactions to those strange, dream-like days, you know. Assuring people that nothing happened, even if there was physical proof...

Considering that professors would either have access to more ancient documents than anyone else or be the source of those documents in the first place, modifying the available information should be possible for them.

Aaaand you've been here how long?

Did they ever mention what was done with those that were captured? I cannot recall hearing anything on the subject.

But then the place loses some of its magic.

...The usual answer to that particular question would be Team Rocket, but in this case...

Especially if they have the power to make the more... outlandish claims found in the Pokédex come true.

[Allow him to check that Pokédex entry quickly.]

...Hotter than the Archfiend of Fire's most powerful attack, certainly.

Maybe.

The best thing is the people in it, though. The world, that is.

...[He thinks on this for a moment.]

As much as I want to say I'm a little taken aback from this, it's not the least bit unbelievable.
