"....
they do what?"
Mordecai stared at his pokedex for a moment. Pokemon that could pretend they were actually /other/ pokemon. That could really mess you up - at least, if you knew which pokemon they were pretending to be, anyway.
So huh. That probably meant that whatever pokemon they were pretending to be were the alphas of the region. And that was handy! Meant that this area focused on those whatevers like the other half was Crustle. It was helpful to get a handle for the apex pokemon of an area.
So, briefly, he amplified the link his styler had made between him and the final Zorua... before pausing, as he stared at it.
...now he actually felt kinda bad. Only kinda, mind you, but a little.
"
I kind of want to see those pokemon you three were pretending to be - your alphas, right? Mind showing me to them?"
That was not, however, an order. Or more accurately it /was/ an order, but it was an order that it was okay for them to say no to. But well... he wanted to see their opinion on it.
"
Oh! And way to go, Kaulu! Wow - you just ripped through them! Haha, you did a great job!" He patted the mankey on the head. The mankey nodded, standing adjacent to him pacibly.
"
Dile!"
"
Mank."
The two nodded to each other.
Weird.

Mordecai (temporarily) makes the restrained Zorua his companion! That way it lasts longer, in case. ^_^
