They were. He told me that back in his world, he works with magical animals and at times has tried to prevent certain species from going extinct. He wanted to do the same thing for Lapras here.

He... didn't get a chance to do so. He was only able to set up the start of a breeding pod before he left this world, roughly around the same time you did.

[Those were some rough weeks.]

They ended up in my possession and since then I've been trying to finish what he has started. There is a lot I still have to learn about breeding but even if Mr Newt isn't here anymore, I'd still like try and make his vision come true.
