"No problem, and yeah, we should probably keep going with that. I mean, I don't think that stuff will affect this world, but you never know, and regardless of that I'm not leaving your world to get taken over-" she was interrupted by someone standing at the end of the alley, walking towards them.
“Hello there!” A voice sang out. It was a tall, grinning man with a bright green suit and top hat, with eyes that only had whites. Next to him was a girl with a brown dress with half of her left leg missing and replaced by a prosthesis. “How are you today?”
“Not in the mood for a traveling circus, thanks,” the Scorpion Queen said after looking up to see his ridiculous outfit.
“That’s good for you, then! I don’t see any!” the man replied, apparently unaware of the insult. The girl next to him looked plainly offended, however.
“Well, I do,” the Scorpion Queen replied. “Go away before I call the police.”
“Don’t worry, I will. I doubt you’ll be calling them anytime soon,” he replied, still sincerely smiling.
“What the hell? Go away; I’ve got more protection on my back than you know, you creeper!”
“I do know, actually, and I have a Magikarp!” he replied, still grinning as if this conversation was just absolutely making his day. “His name is Magikarp.”
 
Autumn looks over at the strange man as well. A Magikarp would not do a thing to us, and yet the man had the guts to continue moving forward. Autumn walked along side the Scorpion Queen.

"Something is very wrong. I think he is trying to make us lose our guard or something. That or he is just a nut case which I highly dough." Autumn whispers in the Scorpion Queens ear on high guard ready for anything weird to happen.
 
"Yeah..." the Scorpion Queen agreed, still watching him.

The man's assistant seemed to see them whispering, and she turned to kick him in the shins, and he skillfully spun out of the way of the blow, making it look like a dance. "Why are you flailing your leg like that, Carol?" he asked. His smile never faltered...
Carol frowned at him. "Damon, stop acting like an idiot!"
"Oh, but Carol, I was just telling X here about Magikarp. He knows Splash!" He added, looking at The Scorpion Queen and Autumn again. The Scorpion Queen stiffened as he said 'X'.
"What makes you call me that?"
"I didn't call you 'that,' I called you X," he replied. "And nothing made me do it but the chemicals in my brain!"
"Why did you call me X?" She asked, seeming angry, fearful, and curious all at the same time.
"That's what you're called isn't it? Among the higher-ups, anyway! Among friends, what was it, Light Bulb or something? No, that's an old one. Queen. Yes? Skorupi Queen? Scorpion Queen, that was it! Would you rather I call you that?"
"Y-You're one of those escorts, aren't you? G-Go away! I don't need any escorts! Tell the police to back off!"
"I'm not an escort," he replied, still smiling. "You won't be able to trace me to any government work, actually, even with that fancy little headset of yours. No, Scorpion Queen, they don't even know where you are yet, do they? After your tracker disappeared..."
"How do you know all this?!" The Scorpion Queen demanded. Apparently he knew far more than he should.
"Oh, did I guess all that right? I've got such a knack for guessing, you know," he replied.
 
Autumn looked at the man and the Scorpion Queen in confusion.

"You mind telling me what's going on? I'm seen something like this before in my world. Except he was a pokemon of course. Scorpion Queen?" Autumn whispers to the Scorpion Queen.
 
The Scorpion Queen grabbed her hair in annoyance, which made no difference to its already-terrible state. "Okay... lemme explain. I've lived my life able to almost completely understand pokemon. Therefore, I've got people after me. The government officially refers to me as X, but I call myself by a various number of changing nicknames. The reason the government is in is because I have official protection from them because they're after the people after me, so basically they're trying to get to those people through me and saying it's 'protection'. This headset is solely for speaking to and being tracked by the government... although my tracker is missing right now, and frankly I'm glad. I don't like them much. Somehow, this guy that I don't know has knowledge of all this, and it's all highly secured information..."

"Yes, all correct, well done!" Damon said. "You also went off all records for four days, so going by official data, you've been... out of this world," he added happily.
 
"Ok, I think I get it. Sounds like we are in danger. That's just perfect. This is your world so, do you have any plans or are we just going to stand here and guess each other all day?" Autumn says in a bit of annoyance as well.
 
"No, clearly I don't have any plans for a man who has more information than he should. Now, you, how do you know these things about me?" She demanded once more, looking at Damon.
"I told you, I'm good at guessing," Damon replied.
"Look, we're not a threat to you, okay? You can trust Damon; he's a good guy, it's just hard to see it, the way he acts all the time," Carol addressed them again. She glanced sideways at Damon. "I'm his assistant- and you, why don't you act more serious for once, or nobody's going to listen to a word you say," she added.
Damon's smile instantly dropped into a serious frown. His empty eyes fixed them with an intense stare. "That's fine," he replied. "It's not as enjoyable, though. Alright, how I know about you is irrelevant. All that matters is that I know who you are and where you've been... which I assume is the same place as where most of you are from. You were all pokemon, weren't you? I don't think I could find records of most of your existences here at all," he said.
"That's right. And didn't you say you didn't have records, either? Where are you from?" the Scorpion Queen challenged.
"Me? Oh, you do know how to put two and two together, don't you. I'm losing my touch, I suppose..."
 
Autumn soon started to relax as she felt that this conversation was becoming meaningless.

"You don't even know the guy and yet your saying he has to much information. If you don't know the guy then don't except that he won't know much." Autumn started to say in annoyance.
"Go ahead and play your little chatting game with this guy. If he attacks then ya I will get involved. Otherwise, I'm just going to step aside and think for a bit." Autumn says a little mad at the Scorpion Queen for guessing.

Autumn steps back a couple feet as she starts thinking on more important things.
 
"What do you mean? He just said my government name, listed my name, and talked about the tracker being missing, which only the police should know about! He's not from the police, so clearly he does know more that he should, he proved it!" the Scorpion Queen replied defensively. "And you, what do you mean you're losing your touch?!" the Scorpion Queen said to Damon. "You didn't answer my question!"
"No, no I didn't," he replied, his smile returning as he sat down on the ground. Carol just looked on helplessly, seeming to accept that she could do nothing really about Damon.
 
As Dylan was trying to wrap his head around the situation at hand, one of the humans came up to him and asked if he was okay. Just what I need, getting attention from a complete st-- Wait. That voice.
He looked up. "R-Rose? Is that you?"

Zoie was just about to ask even more questions to the Scorpion Queen when some weird guy came up to them and started to talk about what he knows and government tracking and... It was all very confusing to her. And, to be honest, that guy just seemed like a jerk. She walked over next to the Scorpion Queen.
"Alright. I don't know who you are, what you want, or what's going on, but you're beating around the bush here. Cut to the case: what do you want, and why should any of us care?"
 
Autumn looked back at the Scorpion Queen.

"That's by point, your using the word should. Should is a word of choice that he has control over. Since he has control that means you have no say in what he knows or not knows. Sorry, but that's just one of the things that bothers me is when people get all worked up just because they lack information. Don't worry about it Scorpion Queen. There is no danger until danger arrives so just relax." Autumn says as she turns around and begins to think again.

Autumn wishes the Scorpion Queen had a bit more knowledge about these kind of problems because the bad guys usually give away much more precious information if we don't get all offensive.
 
"Yes! It's me- you're Dylan, aren't you?"

"What I want is irrelevant at this point, and why you should care is that I can help you," Damon said, grinning from his seat on the ground. "And oh, those poor things around the bush. I'm not meaning to beat them. Tell them I apologize. And what are we chasing?"
 
Sasha backed away from everyone and sank to a crouch. What were they all talking about? She was just getting used to the idea that maybe she had been in the Pokemon world. . .as a Pokemon. . .and now there was talk about government conspiracies and evil enemies and trackers and secret names. Who were the bad guys and the good guys? The one who called herself Scorpion Queen seemed to know what was going on, but so did that other guy she was fighting with! Sasha stayed back and tried to not draw attention to herself.
 
Dylan sighed. Well, at least it wasn't just him here. There was a commotion going on a bit further down the alley, but he ignored it. "Yeah, I am..." He made a small, awkward chuckle. "Sort of." He ran a hand through his hair (Another new experience of being a human). "Sorry, I just... I guess I can't really accept what happened. This is real, isn't it?" He shook his head. "Arceus. I didn't even get to finish my carving..."

The reply that Zoie got from the strange human irritated her. The guy took everything way too literally, and she didn't know if it was how he was or if he was mocking her. She decided not to bother, and asked another question.
"Help us? How so?"
 
"It didn't stay with you?" Rose asked. "You've still got your bag, right? Wasn't it in there...?"

"Depends what you need help with! Normally I'd be able to guess that too, but my mind's all cluttered here, so I'm not picking up on things like I used to! You probably need a place to stay that isn't an alleyway while you get sorted out though. I can do that."
 
Autumn walked over to Willow who she thought was the second most knowledgeable person about these humans.

"Willow, I don't have time for this non sense between your friend the Scorpion Queen and the strange man. I'm not to happy to have been thrown randomly into an unknown location. We need to stop Darkrai and I don't want any silly distractions getting in my way. Could you please help me end this debate that your friend is currently having. I'm getting really bored." Autumn says to Willow.
 
"Well... It doesn't seem like a debate anymore, in fact, he's offering to help. I know he's strange but he does seem to know more than he lets on so maybe we should see if he can- then maybe he can help us with Darkrai... Well... It's not an argument, anyway. We can start planning, though, while they're talking. They seem almost done anyway. What do you think we should do next?"
 
Autumn looks back at the strange man and sees that Willow was right. The man seemed like he was offering to help.

"Well, that's good news. I was starting to get pretty annoyed at him for wasting my time. He better make up for it if he is going to help. Well, first thing I want to know is how many plates do you guys have, if any?" Autumn asks.
 
"We had four total when we came here. I think... Max was carrying one or two... I haven't seen him, though..."
 
"If I remember correctly, Max likes hiding about in places right? If he is indeed human now too, then I'm not sure if he still has that talent to hide. Anyways, even tho this random guy is annoying me, I think we should listen to what he has to say but only if he has information on Darkrai, if not, then he is useless to me." Autumn suggests.
