[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.]

[He bites the inside of his cheek.]

I don't really eat fish, so yeah, probably?

[He doesn't that often, at least, and he'd feel too awful if he saw a living one first.]

I mean, I wouldn't be able to tell you as much, because I don't speak fish, but yeah. I get it if you can't take me at my word, though.

Then... you are kinder than most humans I've seen.

[There's some hesitation in her voice, unsure if she should believe him.]

What's your name? Do you have one?

[zenryokubatankyu]

...I'm sorry you haven't seen many kind ones, then.

[He smiles a little bit.]

Osomatsu. Nice to meet'cha~

[servedup]

My name's Padak. At least, that's what the fish in my... tank... called me.

[zenryokubatankyu]

Padak-chan! That's a pretty name~!! So I'll call you that, too.

But yeah, things should be mostly fine now. If you need any help, so much as I can give you any, I will!

[Osomatsu's too kind. It's a little overwhelming to deal with, considered her only interactions with humans was a brutal one. But it's different now - she's a human now too.]

Maybe you can help me now. [She thinks for a moment, but she already knows what she wants to ask.]

Where can I see more of the ocean?

[zenryokubatankyu]

More of the ocean...

Have you tried the beach? I think there's a beach not too far from where you are!

[servedup]

There is?

[There's a cautiously hopeful tone in her voice. She's so close...]

How do I get there?

[zenryokubatankyu]

Should be a map on your device there, I think?
Check it.
