hmm... they both seem like good names. i agree with the reasoning behind milkey, though. what do you say, baby? shall we call you milkey?

[the baby’s fingers light up in a seemingly random pattern.]

oh! is that your way of communicating, baby? how wonderful! i shall have to study this non-verbal language further, but until we can understand each other i think we’ll just settle on milkey for now.

please try not to be so intrusive with your research, olimar. they’re still just a baby, after all.

are you sure, olimar? what about your home, your friends?

teru and i had a long talk about it, and i decided that it’s best for me to go with you. of course, i will miss my dearest friend, but as a researcher i cannot hope to expand my knowledge by staying in the same place. and if my company would help you in any way, then all the more reason for me to go.

i see. i’m glad to have you on board. we’ll be taking my pod here, so better say your goodbyes now.

teru... my dear, dear friend, you’ve taught me so much ever since the day we met. i’ll never forget your kindness, and i certainly coudn’t ask for a better companion. i will do my very best to return to you one day!

...

oh, teru! your silence speaks a thousand words! i share the same sentiments, my friend! i... i should go, before my sadness overtakes me.

the stranger it is, the bigger the discovery will be, don’t you agree? this could be a huge breakthrough in the field of extraterrestrial research!

...by the way, you remind me of someone who recently passed through the forest, though they were much taller. you see, i’ve never seen a pokemon of your kind before, perhaps the both of you belong to a similar line of evolution?

(posts until the egg hatches: 2/5)

...i understand. i don’t want to cause any more trouble, so we’ll take our leave peacefully.

marty... you don’t have to do this. it might be dangerous for the baby, i could talk to the forest guardian again, maybe we could work something out! it would be a shame to lose these research opportunities and... and two new friends.

olimar, i’m glad to have found you again. your company is important to me, but at the same time i don’t want to endanger your home. although, if you feel that strongly about the matter, then...

come with you? dear me, i suppose i could, but i...

CATCH IT OLIMAR CATCH IT!!!

i-i’ve got it! dear me, marty, you sure are clumsy, aren’t you?

s-silence! i just– got a bit carried away in my excitement, that’s all! anyways, take a look at it this thing. i found it during my travels. what do you think it is?

hmm... it looks like... an egg, of sorts! this could be a great discovery!! i must tell teru about this immediately!

ah, yes... the lotad fellow...

why won’t you tell me about where you came from? have i done anything to make you uncomfortable talking about it?

no, that’s not it. i just...

...marty? are you alright?

hmm? yes, i’m fine. i just need to hurry and find out what happened to you and how to make you remember... *mumble mumble*
