Ah, you finally got it. I was wondering if I should have held a betting pool.

Very funny. [He scowls.]

What do you want? I suppose it makes no difference to you that I’m not a grunt anymore. You’re still Wallace, after all.

No, I’m Steven Stone.

Do I look like Wallace?

[He scowls, then sighs.] Right, so you don’t care, then. That’s all I needed to know.

I’m not even sure why I bother talking to you anymore. What the hell’s happened to you, Wallace? It’s like you don’t even care anymore… [He shakes his head.]

Never mind. I shouldn’t try to understand you. Have fun with… whatever it is you do.

That must have been my greatest role yet. Acting like I really did care, Jon.

Because the truth is: I never did.

Oh. [ His smile seemed a little brighter for a short moment. ] Communication should never be a problem. Language isn’t all we need to communicate. Just look at the Pokémon.

[ He then tapped his chin, thinking where he could’ve been seen already. ] I’ve traveled for my studies around the regions. But I must say, that I do not remember your face… Perhaps you’ve seen me in a magazine about Pokémon researches?

But how do I know if you are insulting me if I don’t understand the words that you are speaking?

You don’t remember my face?

[ Akuroma chuckled with closed lips. ] You are thinking too straight. Communication doesn’t mean it’s spoken and be put into words as insults. A warm smile, does tell you I am happy. Tears will tell you if I’m sad. Affection and hatred, will be showed easily with a single glance.

And now that you say it. Wallace, the Champ of Hoenn, no?

You could be smiling and still insulting me; that doesn’t really tell me anything. A good actor can appear as kind and amiable as possible, but still be whispering lies and half truths.

No. I’m Brawly from Dewford Town.

Surf’s up.

That isn’t even a correct hypothesis!

If Wallace is scaring people away from me, then people won’t talk to me, therefore I will be a socially ostracised recluse.

Oh, wait, nevermind, you already are.

Why, anon, I am shocked.

Steven Stone is too civilised for such trash!

It’s german, a language I speak fluently.

My name is Akuroma. Pleased to meet you.

Oh, do you? I speak French fluently.

I don’t think that will help us communicate in any way, but I suppose we could try.

You seem familiar. Have I seen you somewhere?

Do you have an answer? You can’t get an answer if you don’t form a hypothesis correctly, Steven.

Hypothesis: everybody is nearly tripping over themselves to speak with me, but Wallace decided to scare them all off in a desperate bid to have me all to himself.

Well, I get you to myself so rarely, that I wanted to savor the opportunity.

If I remember right, we are all Homo Sapiens.

Yeah, but they don’t mean my dad’s species.

Some more or less than others.

Oh…

Hello. Who are you?

[ Akuroma looked at the boy, with almost a saddened smile. ] My name is Akuroma. If I remember right, yours was Natural, right?

[ He tensed, suddenly confused and wary. ]

What—? No, it is— N. Simply N.

… Akuroma. [ The name wasn’t familiar to him. He narrowed his eyes. ] You… know me?

Natural?

Is your father’s name Medically Enhanced then?

Oh, so many new trainers. [Akuroma tapped the bridge of his glasses and smiled, he then wrote down a few lines on his note book.] I’m pleased to meet every single one of you.

[For just a split second, Akuroma’s smile disappeared] Oh. [But as quick as it was gone, it returned] Interesting. Hello.

Interesting.

Which language is that?
