[he lets go after a few moments anyway-- he knows nanu well enough to know that he wouldn't like the extended contact, nor is it really appropriate right now. his hand retracts and he folds them in his lap again, listening as nanu finishes off the sordid tale. figures it was just a confused, lost and scared pokémon. though interpol using human bait? the idea of the plan makes him disgusted and angry, the mist that had descended on them while he was being a baby dissipating a bit-- feeling a bit more like evaporated condensation more than a cold fog.]

Stupid fucking bastards. [he's not sure if he includes nanu under that right now. probably not.] The one person with a link to that world--

[he figures if they had a choice they wouldn't have sent in a non-combatant.]

...Back home, after all my bullshit was over. May flew Rayquaza up into space to destroy a meteor. You saw that in the news, right? She told me it had to go like that because the original plan was for Mossdeep to send a rocket full of Infinity Energy up into it to teleport it into another dimension, where it would've hit the planet as normal. That would've been cataclysmic.

[he glances over at nanu.]

I guess if people can't tangibly feel the results of what they've done, they don't give a shit. [he'll never forget standing in the storm of kyogre's rampage and seeing what he'd wrought with his own hands. matt's panic on the comm, rain and waves so severe everything was going to die.] They weren't there to see what happened. She wasn't in the right universe for them to have to tell her family what happened and why she's not coming home.
