Pokemon… So they were the animals of this world? It did explain the furry bear. Although… how did you classify the tri-brained creature, then? It had to be a Pokemon, right? Then what animal did it take after? Or was it something specific to…
… Orchard? Apple orchard or something different? Argh, this was getting so confusing.
But not as confusing as the… thing that came down the tree with a thread. A caterpillar. That was pink and white, along with three yellow points and a yellow eye. Sure, it was approximately the size of an actual caterpillar, but… But from Rebecca’s tone and phrasing, it was still young, still had some growing to do.
…. Time to ask.
“… Forgive me if this is rude, but I’m not from here, so I’m not familiar with the… fauna, I guess? And whatever that furry bear was, it was okay, but… I saw you with a tri-brained creature which looked locked inside a liquid of sorts and now I’m… not sure what’s up with the tri-colored caterpillar. I know these are probably all Pokemon, since they were being treated in a Pokemon Center which looked like a hospital or a veterinarian center, but I’m just… confused. What are Pokemon?”
And if Rebecca turned around, she’d be met by the most confused face. He couldn’t figure it out. And it was bugging him, now.
Rebecca turned to him just as the thread snapped and the tiny Wurmple plopped into her hand. She blinked then softly chuckled.
“It’s not rude at all, it’s fine. I have to remember sometimes that not everyone knows what these are. Yeah, they’re the fauna of this world. Sometimes flora too if they blend in well enough.”
“Here, take a look at this one. S’called a Wurmple.”
She squatted down and held her hand down so the other could see better. The tiny little Bug type let out a happy chitter and a coo up at the other.
“They’re classified into types for simplicity’s sake. For example, Wurmple is a Bug type while Goop, my Reuniclus, is a Psychic type. Pokemon can be dual typed as well.”
