[Silver splits his share with Weavile, who devours them as fast as possible. That's expected. What isn't expected is some praise from mister no Pokémon.]

They're nothing special. [The eggs are fresh, the berries diced into them are tasty and spicy, but it's nothing to write home about. He tries to find somewhere else to look; Weavile conceals a snicker.]

[mahouchrono]

They're better than most restaurants, probably.

[feistytrader]

That's just because everything out here is really fresh and tasty. Thank nature, not me.

[Weavile's snickering turns into straight out laughter. This guy's really laying it on thick, huh?]

Besides, they're all I can make. [You know, other than pasta or something really sumple.]

[mahouchrono]

Is that all you eat, too?

[feistytrader]

It's most of it.

[mahouchrono]

You need a more balanced diet.

[feistytrader]

Sometimes my Pokémon bring back fish or meat. I've got berries too.

[mahouchrono]

What about bread?

[feistytrader]

Let me go pick some off that tree.

[He even points to a nearby tree to get the point across.]

[mahouchrono]

... Wait, what?

[feistytrader]

...It was a joke. [...He should really steer clear of jokes, huh...] I don't have money for bread. If I did, it would be stale by now anyway.

[mahouchrono]

[With someone new to this place? ... Yeah.]

I'd buy some, but...

[Uh... Poor at home, poor here. Especially with no money here. Great.]

[feistytrader]

If you want bread that badly, I can get some later. [You know, when they're done here.] I can't guarantee a nice warm bed every night, but I won't let you starve.

[mahouchrono]

It's fine. It's more for your sake than mine.

[feistytrader]

I'm fine. You should worry about yourself.

[He's the one that has no idea where he is, after all.]

[mahouchrono]

I can't get more worried than I already am.

[feistytrader]

[...Should he ask?

...]

Were you in the middle of something important?

[mahouchrono]

Yeah.

[Which involved other worlds too, just... not one like this.]

[feistytrader]

[...Silver opens his mouth and starts to say something, but he perks up just before he can get out a word.

Honchkrow emerges from the trees, and Silver holds out his arm so he can land.]

Did you find it? [The bird adjusts his hat and nods, then turns to look at Ludger. Who's this guy? Honchkrow puffs his chest out and tries to make himself look larger than he already is- should he kick this guy's butt? He could send him sailing across the lake-

Alright, buddy. Take it easy.]

[mahouchrono]

[Well, that one's acting like a normal bird, at least...]

He looks pretty big.

[feistytrader]

Honchkrow are usually this size. [It's not the size that matters, but how hard you can slam it into surfaces.]

Come on. [Over the river and through the woods- hopefully Ludger wasn't expecting an explanation, because explaining Pokémon covered enough explanations for the rest of the week.]

[mahouchrono]

Yeah.

[He wasn't, just...]

Most birds back home are smaller.

[feistytrader]

...I thought you said you didn't have Pokémon.

[But apparently he has... bird Pokémon and nothing else?]

[mahouchrono]

I don't. We have birds.

[... Just birds...]

[feistytrader]

[...But if you have bird Pokémon, then you still have Pokémon.

Silver gives Ludger a strange look, but doesn't say anything else on the matter.]
