"Ah, I see. Well, if Iris is the Champion of Unova, then I'm intrigued to battle her, right Meteor?"Zoro said, looking towards his Infernape partner. Quite odd, asking Pokemon questions, but then-

"Right. And who knows? Maybe it'll be a worthwhile fight."The... The Infernape spoke. Like actual words, quite loud and clear at that. The Infernape named Meteor then looked at Drayden, wanting to know the old man's reaction to a talking monkey-
Michelle
"I'm sure she would look forward to battling you as well," Drayden nodded. He found it normal for others to talk to their pokemon, in fact his daughter does it all the time with her dragons. Some even say she understands their hearts even if they may not necessarily speak the same tongue as her. It wasn't until monkey decided to speak up, Drayden was baffled. Was age finally getting to him? Has the lack of sleep affected the way he perceived things? Is this what overworking does to you? Drayden paused as it took him a while to process it.. A long while. Haxorus stared at the Infernape puzzled.
Craig
"Sweet!"Zoro smiled, seeming excited until Infernape spoke. He blinked twice and sighed a bit."Ey, I told you not to do that, Meteor."

"You asked me a question, I answered it, That's how it works, homie."Meteor responded, his tail waving as he then looked at Drayden's puzzled face."...What? Do I have something on my face? It's the eye, isn't it?"He said. Similar to how Zoro has an eyepatch, Meteor's right eye was brutally scarred, one of the scars reaching all the way to his chin.
Michelle
"Oh no those scars fine," He shook is head. "What astounded me was that you.. Speak like us and might I ask do you speak other languages are well? ¿Puedes hablar español? Pouvez-vous parler français?" It would be rude to try and bombard the pokemon with so much questions. He would know someone like Professor Juniper would study nonstop with this phenomenon. That being said, he should just remain calm about it. Drayden sighed, "Frankly, shouldn't be surprised I've seen even stranger things throughout my life. Pokemon fusion, technology that can freeze an entire city.."
Craig
"Sí puedo hablar español, and I can understand French somewhat."Meteor answered, then chuckled, amused. He then proceeded and spoke."Well have you ever heard of Synchro Evolution?"He asked.

Zoro then clasped his hand over Meteor's mouth and chuckled lightly."Meteor, I Don't think other people are ready to hear about that... I think so anyways... But I think you'll find us a whole lot stranger."He semi-joked.
Michelle
"Impressive you're just like us," His eyes widended, surprised how well the Infernape could process different languages as if it were human. "I an familiar with Mega Evolution and Dynamax... There are a lot of strange phenomenons with pokemon. In here it was some concept of fusion. I may not be a researcher myself do, but I would not mind at all to hear what Synchro Evolution is. If you may please educate me," He took his bags finally contining to make his way into the mansion. Haxorus offered to carry another bag for Drayden, but he tapped his shoilders and simply shook his head.
Craig
"...Fusion?...Hell, I think me and Zoro are more fusion than-"Meteor was cut off when Zoro covered the monkey's mouth again.

"So Synchro evolution was first discovered in Kalos... But it was revolutionary in Dorimay, it's when you and your partner are in the same state of mind, with the goal of winning the fight."Zoro explained with a burning passion in his eyes, err, eye. He then chuckled a bit."Anyways, I haven't been to Galar, but I heard the Champion is here, so I want to battle him all out, to experience Dynamaxing."
Michelle
As Zoro was explaining, Drayden listened attentively as he was scratching his beard. "I see. So Synchro Evolution is when you and your pokemon become one. Would it be dependent on their bonds, similar to mega evolution? I've heard how forceful mega evolution can be however.. If a trainer and a pokemon are close they may be able to overcome such an obstacle. These phenomenons are all so perplexing," He crossed his arms with his eyerbrows furrowing. There was but one phenomenon that bothered him the most, "Fusion however... Fusion is more wretched than anything. It is a forceful way of combining two pokemon together with the exclusion of either party's consent."
Craig
"Well, mega evolution requires a bond, whether that be love, or hatred. Synchro Evolution requires a true partnership, like me and Meteor have. A bond between brothers, err, friends."Zoro spoke, smiling a bit, he then had a sadder expression."...Fusion is achieved of two ways... By force, or by bond... Although that is the rarest phenomenon."
Michelle
"There was something like that which happened a few years back. I refuse to believe physical fusion has any kind of bond revolved in," Drayden sighed, recalling the time his city was froze because of the mishaps of fusion. "There was this item called a DNA Splicer which allowed pokemon to fuse, Team Plasma obtained it in order to fuse and control the Legendary Reshiram and Kyurem." He growled, but stopped realizing he was going off topic, discussing far more serious things then needed especially during vacation. "Forgive me. I got carried away. We are reaching the mansion now." He coughed awkwardly as they approached the  .
Craig
"I see... Well, I feel sorry for Reshiram and Kyurem... But anyways, we shouldn't think of such things... Let's get going, c'mon!"Zoro said, soon running ahead to the  .

Meteor nodded and dashed on all fours after his partner."Oh, I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they hear me."
