Nod.

"Sorry, that's terribly insensitive of me. Being the world's number one travel enjoyer is no excuse for me to forget how much most people would miss their homes if they got portal'd."

"It will be a considerable adjustment."

"Yeah."

"We could trade phone numbers or chat app usernames, if you think it would ever help to hear a foreigner's perspective on Unova! A Paldean's perspective, anyway."

"Ditto to!" says the purple blob on her shoulder, smiling and waving a protrusion.

It briefly transforms into a smaller, beadier-eyed copy of Kellim,

then changes back.

"—or if there's something a Ditto could help with while I'm still in the region."

"What are Dittos... for, if I may ask?"

"They're beloved by breeders because their shapeshifting abilities let them become nearly any Pokemon's ideal mate! I'm not a professional breeder, though, Jamie here is just my friend."

The blob extends a protrusion behind Kylie's neck, mimimg a hug.

Ivan giggles at the word "mate".

"Oh shut up, you Unovans are such prudes."

"...anyway, my account name is just 'Kyeo', it wasn't taken."

"Awesome!" says Kylie, and adds him.

"I don't think I've introduced myself yet" Frank's boyfriend says to Kyeo. "I'm Owen."

"Pleased to meet you, Owen."

"Likewise! How are you finding Unovan hospitality so far?"

"I've been very generously received."

"Good to hear!"

Om nom pizza.

Some of the teenagers, having scarfed down their pizzas voraciously, are already leaving.

Kylie and Ivan strike up a conversation about their respective Pokemon journeys. Apparently Kylie had beaten every challenge Paldea's League had to offer as a kid, so now that's she's in college she's taking a second gap year to travel the world and challenge other Leagues. Ivan is just starting his journey; he's gotten the Gym Badge from his hometown and walked to Driftveil to challenge Clay.

Owen rests his head on Frank's shoulder, and smiles contentedly.

Maybe people do that on United Kular too.

"- is is typical to get around between cities on foot?"

"Depends how far and for what purpose! If you're on vacation or training your Pokemon, or it's just the next town over, then yes. If it's a business trip or long distance, you'll fly on a Pokemon or take a vehicle—car, boat, or plane."
