Yupyup. They are Dark Types. Very protective, but can hold grudges.

How odd! Our Zoroark are Normal and Ghost types. That is fundamental to their nature! It is said that they are born from the grudges of Pokemon who perished in the cold after they were driven out by humans long ago. I have known some to be won over by kindness, at least when they are met as Zorua, but...wild Zoroark are cruel.

[It's rather unlike Ingo to make such a broad statement about an entire species of Pokemon like that, especially one that's so negative. He doesn't seem like he wants to discuss it.]

[Emmet frowns a little, it is odd for Ingo to say something like that.]

[He wants to ask what happened and it shows. But he won't vocalize it. He knows Ingo will tell him when he is ready, but until then...]

[He thinks the whole story about the thing with the Zoroark will probably just upset Emmet. It doesn't really bother him that much. Maybe a bit more now in retrospect, but - well, it's done with.]

You know. I spoke with someone on the network who was able to have a creature from their home summoned here by Mana.

[Emmet still frowns but will accept the segue into a different topic.]

Are you thinking about bringing a creature from home here?

[Thats what Emmet would do actually.]

I am...considering it.

[Ingo takes the deep breath of "about to SUPER think out loud", and then actually launches into it this time.]

On one hand! It seems incredibly unkind and irresponsible to deliberately bring one of my partners into a place such as this! Ryslig is dangerous, and not in the way any Pokemon would be accustomed to! I do not wish to act selfishly! And...well, I would not like to frighten them.

[With how he's changed. With how he's going to change. He's meant - they’re all meant - to protect people, not prey upon them.]

But on the other, as I have already been told, they would likely choose to accompany me on a dangerous journey if they were aware I was on one! And I cannot deny that I would like their company...but, I cannot present all of this to them and give them the choice. That is not how it works.

[Emmet nods, their partners would like to be with them if they knew, Emmet knew that much. But he could also see the other point, he would rather his Pokemon be safe at home.]

Maybe you can ask this Mana person for the partner who would most want to accompany you here? You don't pick, but they do?

I think that might make them argue...

It could, but then you know for sure the one here is the one who is most willing to go through it for you, yup.

I suppose that's true.

[It still makes him feel a little bad, though! But, then, there are other Pokemon around. From what little he's seen of them, they seem to be doing well enough. Plus...they could have battles, maybe?]

Would you do it?

Wish for one of my team members? [Emmet brings a hand up to his chin to ponder this.]

I would probably wish for a new team member who is best suited for this environment. I miss Archeops and Escavalier, and I know they would want to be with me, but...

But they are verrry spoiled actually.

Interesting! It had not occurred to me that you could do that. You are afraid that this environment would be too much for them?

[He'd just figured they had to come from somewhere. Can you just ask Mana to catch a new Pokemon for you? Granted, Ingo isn't sure he'd do the same; while Ryslig is far worse than anything Hisui has to offer, it's not unheard of for humans to get eaten there from time to time. He thinks they could probably handle the average day here.

He...hadn't actually thought about the fact that he has another team somewhere else until just now. But he doesn't know his Unovan Pokemon anymore. And they're with the other Ingo, in any case; he's not going to tear them away from their home.]

I'm not sure what sort of Pokemon would be best suited.
