(Color)

Hello
I've only replied to a handful of people on the forums before, so most of you will likely not know my color. My name is Gladion. I came from an island nation called Alola, in a world inhabited by creatures completely unlike anything I've ever encountered here. They're known as Pokemon, and some of you may have seen them around during the attacks last month. I have a team of six with me, though they're just a small, small fraction of the number that exists in my world.

That said... I don't often reach out like this, but I need some assistance. During those battles I depleted most of my supplies from home used to care for my team. I have two potions left, though I've been holding off using them in hopes that there might be someone here who can possibly replicate or even replace what helps to heal them quickest. For now they've simply been recovering on their own, which is possible but slow and difficult to tend to by myself.

I also met someone last month who had a book from my world, a basic guide on Pokemon and how to care for them. I offered to help with whatever information was missing from it as it seemed like the pages would vanish at random while reading. Being the only person from my world here I understand the curiosity that might arise from having such unique creatures so if anyone wishes to meet my team, be it for the sake of interest or to aid with finding ways to help them, I'm willing to open up my home to you for the time being.

[He is still just about the least social person in Chroma, but if it's for the sake of his Pokemon he's willing to try and muster up some energy to deal with people he doesn't know well.]

In any case, thank you for your time.

Now that's fascinating. Wild creatures that actually prefer to be domesticated — I presume because they enjoy certain benefits of the bond they ultimately form with humans?

Yes. I imagine that, because our world revolves so heavily around their existence and our bonds with them, they are intelligent enough to understand that becoming a partner with a human has a lot of benefits over remaining wild. Health, food, companionship, even having guaranteed shelter and protection.

There is still research being conducted on it, but there is also a myriad of theories regarding the physical connections between Pokemon and trainer. In Alola there are things called Z-Crystals that, when a trainer holds a Z-Ring, enhance the power of attacks for Pokemon. In another region there is something known as Mega Stones, though I'm less informed about those.

I would be curious to meet a few of your team, the next time you feel that they're up for it. Less so because I find them unusual in and of themselves, and moreso because I'd like to see how they interact with you as an aspect of the bond you share.

As for your concerns about healing them, a friend of mine may be able to offer you some assistance. I can't make any promises, of course, but I can't see that there's any harm in the attempt.

That would be fine. Recovery is slow right now but they're doing well. We should be alright for visitors in a couple of days.

That would be fantastic. Attempting is better than not trying at all, even if we don't come to any viable results.
