where’d you find this brat??

i saw him trying to break your pokeball with a giant bone. i’m not gonna ask where a kid like that got a giant bone from, but at least your pokeball is safe. you’re welcome, by the way.

a giant bone...

why, is that where your trainer is or something? i mean, i guess we can hop on a boat, but i’ve gotta go check on some things first after the rain lets up, if you can wait.

[byul’s ears flatten in disappointment, and he lets the flyer drop from his mouth before something catches his eye from the window.]

MROW?!

[without thinking, byul takes off for the exit, zelle calling out after him in surprise.]

hah?? what’s your damage, kid??

ikaia isn’t my real dad. humans took my real parents away and he wouldn’t let me do anything about it! when you see him again, tell him i hate anyone who sides with humans! they don’t care about pokemon when they separate us from our families and stuff em in those little balls to do their bidding, just ask the runt that keeps following ikaia around!

now listen here you little shit-

[bolt’s tail stops byul in his tracks, and he turns to face his friend.]

you’ve got your pokeball back. that human might leave soon, so you should catch up to them if you still wanna go to poni island before your trainer finds you. i’ll keep an eye on the kid.

wait, you heard all that??

byul, just go. if you really want to learn more about yourself on your own terms, that is. you might not get another chance like this.

you probably shouldn’t get mixed up with them; especially rakuten, they’re a real grump. and kumori, well... she’s just kind of annoying.

what are you talking about over there? how come you never told me you have friends that aren’t me??

i think it’s pretty easy to make friends with anyone who isn’t you, byul.

WHAT. THIS IS HARASSMENT. WHY IS EVERYONE HARASSING ME.

...nothing. just work stuff. anyways, where are you headed this time?

the aether house or something, near po town i think. jinyoung’s just getting us a ride. you gonna follow? ah, but it’s not raining here...

i’ll get my own ride, don’t worry. meet you there?

these humans just can’t handle my style of fighting, so they won’t let me fight the way i want to, hmph!

byul here takes fighting very seriously, and he might be what you’d call ‘bloodthirsty’ when it comes to a challenge, so i can see why he’s not allowed to fight as much as he wants to.

sh-shut up, i don’t hear you complaining when we spar! besides, why wouldn’t you want to give it your all if someone’s challenging you? whatever, i think our ride’s here, see you later.

[byul gets up with a haughty sniff to join jinyoung and chico who have started to board the ride charizard, leaving bolt alone with the shaymin.]

don’t mind him, he’s like that with everyone. there’s probably no way byul’s just going to give up fighting, but i guess the problem is that he likes fighting a little too much. unless you’re fast enough to outrun him like i am, i wouldn’t recommend getting in a fight with him.
