Exposition Galore

(POV: Elekid)

Alright...let's get this straight: you can tell that something is wrong with the prison, but you can't go down and check it yourself because you would attract too much attention, so you want us to go down to Pelipper Rock and report back to you whether or not the Pokemon you've imprisoned there is still there?

No, that can't possibly be dangerous.

Well, here's the question: how are we gonna get there? Are we walking, because that might take a while.

Oh, we're flying there! Oh what, pray tell?

Oh...sorry...on whom?

Him? Who? Where--

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...are we fucking for real here? We aren't going to be attracting too much attention...riding a giant bright green sky-serpent?!

At this point, I don't even care.  Just let me go home after this.

I can go home after this? Alright.  Screw it, let's go.

Okay, we are moving pretty fast.  I guess no one can see us, but we might fall off or get sick.  Hell, Eevee doesn't look so good as it is.  She's making strange faces and she looks dizzy and she's glowing...

Scratch that; Eevee's fine.  Let's move on.

Hey, there it is! Pelipper Rock...I wonder why they call it that? It doesn't look like a Pelipper...

Oh...

It's called this because it's covered in Pelipper.  Right.  So where are we going--?

Large chasm-like tunnel into the heart of the island? Sure...why not?

Okay...it's dark...it's scary...it's empty.

It's empty.  Okay, let's get out of here and--

Oh, now there's a voice in my head.  Fantastic.  This is going to go well.

So, you're basically saying that you've been imprisoned for too long and you're tired of watching Pokemon be blind slaves to their human master who will never change their ways until someone changes their minds, and you're the one who's going to change the world and alter the man-Pokemon dynamic forever?

Okay, but can I just ask one thing--?

And it burst out of the cave in a bright beam of light, knocked me out, and now I'm looking at this series of events retrospectively.  I just wish someone would make sense of all this--

Oh just perfect.  Wait, not yet! Don't start monologuing just--

Great...the only important thing I got from that whole nonsense was the name of the dangerous Pokemon.  Just get me off the island, bubble-man.  Are we calling Rayquaza to get a ride back to Herne or what?

Oh...I see.

This is uncomfortable for everyone involved.

Oh, you don't care, Slakoth? You don't really care about much, do you? Go back to sleep.

You know, after all we've been through, I just want to go to sleep for like a day and a half.  I don't even want to look out for any signs for this apocalypse-Pokemon.  I just want to forget about this whole ordeal...that only actually lasted for a day.  The longest damned day of my life.

Wait...is that--?

TOM! Oh, I have never been so relieved to see that man!

You know...I think Tom would be very happy living the rest of his life never having to know about all the ridiculous shit I've been told by the assortment of odd, rare Pokemon we've encountered on this journey.  I mean besides...

...he probably wouldn't even know what a Mewtwo is.
