INT. KAYLA AND BRAIXEN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Kayla sits up. Braixen does as well.

DEWOTT

...what's it like being a human?

BRAIXEN

Yeah.

DEWOTT

Well, it's pretty cool, I guess.

BRAIXEN

What do you mean?

DEWOTT

Um, it's great! Everyone that talks is the same species and civilization is more advanced and Pokemon don't exist so there are no battles and--

BRAIXEN

I thought you liked battling!

DEWOTT

Heck yeah, I do. But when there's no battling, there's less injuries and stuff.

BRAIXEN

Mmhm.

(A beat.)

What do humans look like?

DEWOTT

What do they look like? They're tall, I guess. And they don't have fur or anything-- they have hair on their heads, though.

BRAIXEN

That's weird.

(A beat.)

No offense.

(A longish pause)

What type are humans?

DEWOTT

They aren't Pokemon.

BRAIXEN

I know, but--

DEWOTT

Only Pokemon have types.

BRAIXEN

Oh. In the human world, are there other things? Or is it just humans?

DEWOTT

Nah, it's not just humans. There's also animals and stuff.

BRAIXEN

What are those?

DEWOTT

They're...

(A pause)

They're kind of like Pokemon, I guess. Some are big and some are small. Some live underwater and some don't.

BRAIXEN

(Intrigued)

What do they look like?

DEWOTT

They look like a lot of different things. Some even look like Pokemon, come to think of it.

BRAIXEN

Are there any that look like me?

DEWOTT

Not... really? There are foxes that kinda look like you but all of them walk on four legs.

BRAIXEN

I used to walk on four legs when I was a Fennekin...

DEWOTT

Oh yeah. I forgot you weren't always a Braixen. So you just... changed your name when you evolved?
