INT. URSHIFU'S GUILD

Dewott stares at her reflection in the water, screaming. Braixen shyly begins to back away.

DEWOTT

WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT THE HELL, PEOPLE!

Urshifu exits the pool and approaches Dewott.

DEWOTT

THIS IS MADNESS! STUPID MADNESS! IT'S—

Urshifu silences Dewott by putting his hand over her mouth.

DEWOTT

(Muffled)

I can't believe this!

URSHIFU

What is it, Dewott? I don't like to see a guild member in pain.

Urshifu removes his hand from Dewott's mouth.

DEWOTT

I... I... What did you do to me?!

URSHIFU

I did nothing to you, Dewott. Braixen, do you know why she's so upset?

BRAIXEN

No... She, um... Just looked into the water and screamed.

URSHIFU

I see. Dewott, did something about your reflection... Scare you?

DEWOTT

This isn't how I look! I'm... I'm a human, not a blue cat!

URSHIFU

You are neither a human nor a blue cat, Dewott...

DEWOTT

And that's the other thing! You keep calling me "Do-what"! My name is Kayla, not "Do-what"!

Urshifu pauses, considering this.

URSHIFU

Kayla, you say?

DEWOTT

That's exactly what I said, dammit! And you—

URSHIFU

This is interesting. And it's only happened once before, too... Dewott, come with me into my office. Braixen... ask Chatot to show you around.

Urshifu walks into his office. Dewott reluctantly follows.

INT. URSHIFU'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS

Urshifu takes a seat at his wooden desk. On the desk is a journal, a pencil, and a book titled "Mythology: The Mysteries of Life". He motions for Dewott to sit down.

Cut to Dewott. She stands in front of the closed door, not sitting down.

URSHIFU

Dewott... or Kayla, rather... You can sit.

DEWOTT

I'm not gonna. I don't know why I'm here, I don't know where Sam is, and now I don't even know why I look like this!

URSHIFU

That's... Do as you wish. But you must listen to me.

DEWOTT

I don't wanna listen. I need to know why I'm a cat! You aren't even listening to me!

URSHIFU

Kayla, you aren't a cat... You're a Dewott.

DEWOTT

What even is that?

URSHIFU

Are you familiar with Pokémon, Kayla?
