It started out like any other day. Wake up late, large breakfast, oppress the peasants, and then this happened. This thing appeared out of nowhere—literally nowhere; he can sense its mind and that mind did not exist until it was existing right on top of him—and then it swallows him. All the Lord Ruler sees is what looks like a gigantic mirror reflecting a reptilian mouth, and he's suddenly on the wrong side of it. Starts trying to destroy the creature, of course, but nothing he does meets any resistance.
Wherever he is, it doesn't look like the inside of any snake he's ever been swallowed by.

"I can tell that there's a mind there, and its general shape and complexity. I'm not sensing anything being broadcasted from Branch any more than I am from you. That's the part that might or might not be different with psychic ones."

"The psychic ones have to be the ones with more complex minds, usually. That'll make it inconveniently harder to test. Still worth doing, of course."

"Uh, not necessarily. Being psychic type doesn't make a 'mon smarter. The Chimecho we're about to see isn't going to win any contests."

"It's not so much intelligence that I can sense as it is complexity. But variance within species could be larger than the difference between different species' averages; I wouldn't know yet."
