[The Pokegear doesn't show anything but a view of the sky. But off screen, the sounds of a woman crying can be heard.]

No... no... change me back! I don't want this!

[By all means, she should be happy that she's here - alive and safe - but she's been through a lot in the past few hours. Giving her a human form is just insult to injury, and she's horrified by her new body.

This isn't what she wanted. She wanted to go home.]

Hey, are you okay? Are you injured, do you need any help?

[There are many reasons someone would panic like that upon arriving, but which is it this time?]

[The crying continues, but she finally answers.]

I don't... want to be human...

[video]

[captainash]

Don't want to be- Oh.

[This is very possibly the reason he's least equipped to deal with, but he can't just leave her sobbing there, either.]

This place does that to everyone who wasn't human in the first place, from what I hear. I'm sorry. Are you missing powers, or was your whole body changed?

[video]

[servedup]

All of me was changed. I was a mackerel before.

I think I... no, I know I died.

[captainash]

...I'm sorry. That's a terrible series of events to go through at once.

[Going from a being a fish to having a human body... he can't imagine how horrifying it must be.]

You're not the first one to arrive here after passing. It's not ideal, since you've been thrust into an unfamiliar body... but you can consider it a second lease on life.

[It's not that she's not thankful to be alive again, but...]

I... suppose so.

But... I want to go back to the ocean. My home.

You can access the sea in the next town over, and there's a route all the way to the west that's entirely salt water, but it still wouldn't be the same, would it.
