Jade's ears flicked forward. Pokéballs? But that meant—!

"Wait, so then... you had a trainer!" Jade blurted out, scooting forward in her seat without meaning to. "One of my partners was a Charmander too! Firestorm. He, ah, isn't great at math, but he trains the hardest out of anyone on the team, and he's good at teaching the others new moves, and he's really protective, maybe a little too protective, aha." She paused, tapping her paws together. "I miss him a lot... all of them, really."

Thinking about the idea of being pulled into a new world multiple times made her head hurt. She'd spent all this time looking forward to seeing her friends, her team, again... the idea of being pulled even further away made her heart ache a little.

"So you got taken from your world to Kilo, and then to here, so... it's been a long time since you've seen him, huh. Is there... any way you could ever make it back there? Back to your trainer?"

It was hard to tell what Owen's expression was like behind all the darkness, but he said, softly, "Well... my trainer came with me to that world. I just didn't know it for a while. It's a long story, but we both sort of forgot about that partnership.

"We became... partners again, but not as trainer and Pokemon. We did two parts of a big job, kind of. He granted wishes, and I curated the ones asking for wishes. But... things went badly in a lot of ways, and eventually... we drifted apart."

Mhynt hummed, nodding to herself. "Owen lost his memory of his trainer, temporarily. But his trainer never did, and it drove him mad. He was trying to claw back times that have long since passed by taking Owen back, not realizing that he's a different person now... and his trainer was stuck in that past.

"Most find it romantic when someone says they'd tear apart the world to get someone back." Mhynt huffed. "But seeing it firsthand, it's a lot less cute in practice."
