A/N: I don't own Final Fantasy 9, the characters or the places, however I do own the idea to this here story! Have fun reading my friends!
Isidore and Mr. 485
"You need a name, we can not call you if we need you if you don't have a name." Mikoto replied to the female genome in front of her.
"What name should I have?" The genome asked in a monotone.
"You can have whatever name you want, now why don't you go find one." Mikoto said, her nerves grinding. The genome before her nodded, then turned and walked away.
"I swear this is the worse thing to have happen to me." Mikoto hissed as she turned and ran into one of the black mages. "Ugh, sorry about that." She spoke and hurried on her way.
Mr. 485 had been at the Black Mage Village for only a month. He had been one of the very last mages to be created. When he woke up he had been running a ship for several Alexandrian soldiers. They had sent him off to live here with the other mages who had woken up not long after. He liked the village, it was simple, it was also quite.
He liked the genomes most. They we're like him, they had only recently woken up, unlike many of the other mages. He also liked the Chocobo, for it was very cute.
He wondered why that genome name Mikoto was always so busy. She was the only one of them who was really awake, and she had such a bad temper. However she still tried to be nice to everyone, and was okay in his opinion.
Walking down the path to head out for the small village of Conde Pete, he came across a genome who was looking for something. "What are you doing?" He asked politely.
"I'm looking for a name. I need a name so that Mikoto can call me if she needs me." The genome answered calmly.
"You can't find a name there." He pronounced happy to know something. "You can only find names in books or in other peoples memories."
She turned and looked at him. "Do you have a name in your memory?"
"I have a few. My own name is Mr. 485, and I know that my best friend's name is Mr. 239 and I know that the genome who was just here's name is Mikoto."
"So those are names? Should I have the name Mikoto then, or Mr.239?" She asked puzzled.
"No someone already has those names. You need a different name, a name that no one else around you has." He told her.
"Would they have names in the shop?" She asked.
"No, all those names have been taken. But if you come with me to Conde Pete they might have a name there." He answered.
"Conde Pete, that is a name also. Can I have that name?"
"No it's a name only for a village. People can't have the same name as a village." He answered.
"Then I shall come with you to Conde Pete to look for a name." She responded.
"Alright." He answered and on the way their way they went.

They headed out into the forest, every so often she would ask him a simple question. Once they encountered a monster, however he used his magic upon it and were able to proceed. She didn't really understand why they had to kill the monster however. He tried his best to explain that they had to, but in the end she simply did not understand.
She'll understand when she sees some one stop. He thought to himself.
"What is this?" She asked as they came to a small pond, her hand was pointing to something in the mud.
Mr. 485 looked down at the object to see a rather bright green frog. "That is a frog." She looked down at the little creature and admired it for a little while. Then she turned and looked at him as if waiting for something.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Does the frog have a name?"
"Yes, but I do not know it's name." He said.
She looked at it for some time more then nodded. So he continued to walk on his way, with the genome following behind. Asking questions as they went.
