…Adam.
That's my name. Well, it was my name. Nobody's called me that in a long time. In fact, I don't think I've even heard anyone say the name Adam in all the years I've been in this stupid world. Adam's not a Pokémon name, after all. It's kinda weird to say it now. Like, it feels unfamiliar rolling off my tongue.
You know what? You can call me Adam if you like. Just not in public.
This doesn't make us friends or anything, okay? It's just because we're both humans. Nobody else is allowed to call me anything but Gengar, unless they knew me as a human.
Gardevoir… She can call me Adam whenever she wants, if we even manage to…
Don't look at me like that. It doesn't matter. This whole "rescue mission" or whatever you want to call it is just a whim. I don't have anything better to do.
That's your fault, you know. Ever since you came back from your exile and accused me of slander, nobody in town has wanted anything to do with me. They just glare at me or look past me like I'm not even there. And the team broke up, so —
My fault? As if! Look, I don't care if you were sent to this world to save it. You must've done something really terrible for them to send you here. Saving the world was probably the least you could do to redeem yourself.
Good people don't wind up here. Period.
Anyway, where was I before you decided to butt in?
That's right. The team broke up, and judging by the look on your face, you had no idea, because you never have a clue. Really, it was Medicham and Arbok who broke up. They weren't doing so well after the whole Wish Cave incident. Medicham resented Arbok for escaping without her, and she managed to hold it in for a while, but it started to leak through eventually. She started making all these passive-aggressive remarks. Arbok ignored them at first, but before long, he snapped and started calling Medicham out for all the crap she'd gotten away with. They started getting into these screaming matches, and it honestly sucked to be around them. They always asked me to pick a side, but I didn't. I couldn't. Don't let either of them fool you: they're both equally bad.
So, uh, yeah. The team broke up, and Arbok left town. I think he went off to the Grass Continent, actually. To be honest, I'm planning to leave town as well, once we finish up here.
Yeah, I'll leave right away. I can move faster at night, and I don't have much to pack. I think I'll move to Baram Town. It seems…okay.
Ugh, why am I even telling you all this? Just shut up and walk.
