Bucky led the way, finned tail swishing. Vex quietly followed, her dark paws padding against the earth. Something about the ground beneath her feet didn’t feel right, despite not knowing what it should feel like. It just felt... too thin. The bidoof-magikarp fusion led her to the edge of the small lake, it sat at the center of the strange... enclosure? The place was shaped like a hexagon, and the lake sat at its center. Vex felt her fur prickle at the sensation that a few pairs of eyes were on her. She ignored them, and instead stared at her own reflection in the water. A black furred face, pink scaled armor, and the large black tusks- tipped with magenta as though streaked by strange blood- that jutted from her jaws. The espeon-haxorus sat down, forked tail curling. Bucky sat down next to her. “So... I’m sorry bout all this, honestly.” he sighs. “Why are you sorry?” “This place is... a lot. There’s a lot going on for you- lotta mons, several things we haven’t gotten around to telling you, and- do you even know what you are?” “Why would I even know?” Vex murmurs, “All I can... remember of things are...” her mind fell back to the strange dream. Smoke, or was it mist? Or dust? It felt grainy in her lungs. The land was grey and lifeless, she stood on her hind legs and watched with a strange feeling in her chest. Then it was green, and she was running on all fours and playing with a creature her mind whispered to her was a ‘human’. The human spoke words to her. The human called her ‘Vex’. “Things are foggy?” Bucky tilts his head. She nods. “Yeah... very little do know much when they wake. Or ever, even. That’s why we all talk to Sil.” “Sil... that’s the mon that’s been to the outside, right?” “Yeah, that’s them. They know... a lot. Though they’re a little standoffish, sliiiightly intimidating- they could answer at least the question of what you’re a fusion of.” “F...fusion?” “Yeah. None of us are normal pokemon. We’re all weird... mish-mashes of two. Created by the humans here.” Vex’s ears twitch. Created..? Here? But... she had vague memories of others... of the outside. How could that be possible? “I know that sounds crazy, but it’s... unfortunately what’s goin on in this place.” “Why..?” Vex finds herself asking quietly, “Why would the humans here make us..?” “We... don’t know. That’s what everyone is wondering. And anytime we’ve asked Sil about it they just... shut up immediately and try to walk away. They know more then they let on and it’s kiiiinda startin’ to tick me off,” Bucky shakes his front paws for emphasis, “if the guy couldn’t punt me halfway across the enclosure I’d be more inclined to push at it.” he snorts lightly. Vex gives a light chuckle, “Big pokemon?” “One of the largest, though I think Athamas has him beat. Noivern-scoliopede. She’s big, but old and really nice.” “Ah... who else is here..?” Vex tilts her head. “Oh there’s... I think twelve of us?” “Twelve?” “Yup, they’re all milling around here. Some are... nicer then others. So if you wanna talk to other mons, be a little careful, okay?” Bucky gives Vex a pat on the shoulder, “And worse comes to worse, come back to me. I’ve got your back.” he gives her a toothy grin, and Vex returns with a small smile. “Thanks...” her magenta gaze rose to the few pokemon she could see. A pale colored bird like creature with a blue and red finned tail that glimmered in the light swam across the water. A deep purple snake with orange rocks protruding from their body was perched up on a rock with a blue colored snake that had purple wings. Both has their tails twinned together. A small, purple rodent like pokemon sat below them. And a pale furred dog like pokemon sat by a rock, they had two strange protrusions hanging from the area just behind their eyes that occasionally twitched as though sensing something. They stared at the ground with wide and blank eyes.
