Mark was relieved at hearing Sarah at least was okay after that exertion but he grew increasingly worried when he heard all about what evolution actually does to hybrids, he used to look forward to his own, pokemon always do, especially magicarp, even if for them it was mostly about vengeance against all who ever bullied them. he thought it was the same, painless process for him too... now... now he was absolutely terrified at what may bearound the corner for him, because apparently even in the best hands you stood an equal chance to lose your mind then to keep it. he then thought about the digital world... and a few possibilities he'd had in consideration, would becoming a full pokemon or digimon maybe be the solution? it was no small decision but if it could spare him all that... his hearing still picked up the screams until he thougth she must have lost her voice, he refused to believe the worst had happened after all. For now he kept watch, the humans around were hopefully not going to try anything.<br/><br/>Toni had remained at Joker's side for now, what had happened with Firis was probably very private and crowding the pokemon center right now wouldn't help, it also allowedher to think of what to say to them all, she had noticed a few features on some of their other companions and had puzzled together that that was probably the thing they were trying to keep secret from her.<br/>At the phonebooth she had overheard everything, hybrids. that's what Firis was, that's the group's secret, they have hybrids among them, and from what she could tell from the way they act, hybrid life was sucky a lot of the time.<br/>"Joker... Is this why they always seem to scramble for excuses? are they afraid of how i'll react if i find out what they are?"
