KASS HAS LEFT THE CRYOGENIC ROOM

“I may have been Joshua’s strongest and first, but I wasn’t his only Pokemon. He had a full team, all right, and I don’t think there was anybody on Sleepy Old Alola that could take all of us on! Grr-ahahah!!”

“As for my teammates... well, there was my best friend Archie. Thick as thieves, we were, and one hell of a fighter. Not as tough as yours truly, of course, but he had a different way of fighting. Less in your face and more tricksy stuff, if ya know what I mean. We both had a mentor - Alistair. He’s been through a lot and could teach me and Archie a thing or two. Kind of a depressing guy, though. Seems like his mind was always on something else.”

“There was my girlfriend, Camilla. We... didn’t exactly get off on the right foot, she ain’t exactly Little Ms. Sunshine. But obviously somethin’ I did caught her eye one day, and next thing ya know I’m spendin’ as much time with her as with Archie. Shame her kind can’t breed with Kommo-o, though. Prickly as she was, I think she always wanted a kid.

Speaking of which, Roscoe wasn’t my biggest fan when Joshua caught him either, but I think in the end, he saw Archie and me as his heroes. Cute little scamp he was at the time, but he probably ain’t a little kid anymore.

“And who is it I’m missing? Ah yes! Clementine! Joshua’s Ride Pokemon! You being an Alolan Pokemon and all, you know how much of a pain in the ass traveling the islands can be, right? So of course, Joshua thought to catch something to help him travel around.”

The large dragon sighs, feeling a rare moment of wistfulness. “Sure would be great to see them again. I don’t know how long it’s been since... that day, but I wouldn’t be surprised if all of them thought I was dead.”

“I lost it back when I was a Hakamo-o, back when Joshua was traipsing around Alola for the Island Challenge... and it was probably the toughest battle I’ve ever been in.”

TW: BLOOD

“...Bah, I’ll let that one go.”

“Anyway, I’ve known Joshua for a long, long time. Ever since I was a Jangmo-o, actually. That’s when he caught me, but let me tell ya, I didn’t make it easy for him!! Grr-ahahahah!!!”

“We didn’t really get along at first but after awhile we were thick as thieves and did pretty much everything together. Ate together, slept together, battle together, all that mushy crap. But you know... I hate to admit it, and I know that hard-headed knucklehead wouldn’t, but we both needed each other.”

“And as a Trainer, Joshua was the best around! A genius, he was called. He put all the time and effort he could into learning about Pokemon, and not just battling tactics, either. Stuff like what kinds of different foods different Pokemon eat, how to take care of different Pokemon, where they live, even a lot of the legends surrounding different Pokemon. There’s a lot to learn about to learn about Pokemon other than battling, and he wanted to know it all. He was always a fanatic, ever since he caught me.”

“And him being as much of a fanatic as he was... of course he got himself noticed by Team Skull eventually.”

“Bet ya thought I was kidding about that freezer, eh?”

~KASS HAS MOVED TO A DIFFERENT ROOM INSIDE THE AETHER BUILDING!

“They all belong to Joshua, and I’ve been keeping ‘em here ever since we were... separated. It’s all the stuff of his I have, so I’ve been trying to keep it safe ever since I washed up on this hellhole. However long that’s been, I lost count Arceus knows how long ago.”

“Joshua...was my Trainer.”
