Kuro watched the area with a great caution, trying to spot any traps before they trigger. She occasionally glanced at her companions to make sure they were still there and make sure they were alright. She couldn’t believe she would actually have other creatures at her den, especially a human she had met when she was much younger. A small smile decorated her face as she realized that she had helped said human escape from other humans that had stolen his ship and demanded access to this island. She gave a light huff then saw something she’s seen before, a nonobvious mark that they were almost to her den. “So, Zero, Jacob and Gregor are here to take us and sell us. How exactly do they plan on that? Most of us are really strong, some of us normal Pokémon strength while others can be seen as weak, mostly children. I haven’t seen a child in a while...,” Kuro said, the last part mostly to herself. She began wondering how PokèHumans come into this world. She was hatched from an egg with no one around but Pheonix said that she had a family. She started paying less attention to her surroundings and more focused on her thoughts, which, in this situation, wasn’t very good.

Zero glanced where Gregor had gone, knowing he was leading a false trail. He was beginning to get curious about where the lab was, how many PokéHuman’s they might be able to capture, maximum and minimum, and how much the PokéHuman would make for him. He knew working with another Hunter that he had never met before, much less trusted, wasn’t a good idea but he knew neither of them would achieve anything without the other’s help. Zero would just have to trust that X would do anything to get the great amount of money from selling the PokéHuman’s at the mainland.
