Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon: Here Comes The Hydroflames

Alliances

"Well, good morning Ian! Ain't it a fine day today?"

"Nu-Nuzleaf?!" Ian exclaimed.

Ian had woken up as usual for another day of school when he heard noises coming from the other room. To his surprise to find Nuzleaf, who had finally returned.

"How've you been? Did ya miss me?" Nuzleaf asked.

"Not really, I kinda have a lot of things on my mind lately, I forgot that you left." Ian replied, smiling nervously.

Nuzleaf was taken back by that brutally honest reply.

"Is that so huh...? Well... Alright then. Anyway, have you remembered anything about your past?"

"If snarky comments and making girls cry were from my human life, then yeah..." He mumbled.

"What did you say?"

"Oh! Um..., no, I still don't remember anything unfortunately."

"Well, that's a shame..." Nuzleaf said. "Anyway, I think you should head off to school right about now."

Ian nodded and got himself ready, after having breakfast he grabbed his bag and headed for the door.

"Hey, where did you get that bag from?" Nuzleaf asked.

"Kangaskhan gave it to me." Ian replied.

"Kangaskhan?" Nuzleaf said in surprise. "Well that's awfully nice of her. Well, you best get going now! Don't wanna be late for school and all!"

"Right, bye Nuzleaf!" He said, waving his hand to Nuzleaf as he headed out of the house, ready for another day at school.

"Hey! I just realised something!" Pancham exclaimed.

The rest of the class turned to face the panda Pokemon to hear what he had to say.

"Where did Ian come from anyway?"

The class thought about it, and noticed that nobody actually knew.

"Yeah, that is a good question!" Shelmet said.

"I'm rather curious myself..." Deerling said. "I doubt that you're actually Mr Nuzleaf's kid..."

"Huh, I actually never asked." Patience said, to Ian's surprise. Does she honestly really care about it? Or is she just saying it for the hell of it. Not wanting to seem so isolated from the rest of the class.

"Wait, don't tell me..." Pancham said. "Don't tell me you're from Lively Town?!"

The whole class reacted in surprise at that possibility. A child that came from the town to the east? That seemed too farfetched to be true.

"Wow, Lively Town! We got us a city folk here! So sophisticated!" Shelmet mockingly said.

"Wa-wait! I never said anything like that!" Ian defended. To be honest, he didn't know HOW was he going to tell the rest of the class where he actually came from. It was something none of them might not even believe.

"Then WHERE did you come from then Ian? Another continent? Hah! Don't be ridiculous!"

No point lying. Ian thought, it's not like he has any other choice.

"Well... You see... I come from a place where none of you are most likely expecting." He vaguely said.

"Well...?! Don't just stop there! Tell us!" Pancham demanded.

"I'm from... the human world."

The whole class stood silent, processing what Ian had just said.
