Run rabbit, run rabbit, run run run...
He was a peculiar sight. Tears rolling down his face, stumbling, shaking, cowering. A dead Remoraid was grasped tightly in his fingers.
Bang, bang, bang! Goes the hunter's gun!
Something happened. The temperature rose considerably. The sound of his pounding footsteps changed. It wasn't pavement, it wa---
"WHOA!"

What the hell?
[He was thankful that he had gotten his armor repaired. The creepy little bit of evidence in the blacks of his eyes was clearly not something a madman would want to look at. Three cheers for eye-concealing visors.]

The Galactic commander took a shaky breath and glanced around, hid his face in his hands and shuddered, becoming very still.
Then he heard the voice and looked up, eyes wide. He saw the man, and stared at him for several moments.
"What the hell are you?"
What bothered him most was that Saturn knew this person wasn't a part of his delusions. This person was really here, and actually wearing that, and no seriously what was it.

Uh... Right. That's a very good question and I'm not quite sure how to answer that...
I can tell you that my name is Palkia.
[As an afterthought, an explanation.] ...It's a long story.

"I think it's a question we can all ask of ourselves...some---"
He cut himself off to stand up, and listened to the rest of what Palkia had to say.
"Uh, you're who?"
He blinked and smiled a clueless little smile.
"P-P-Palkia? Well, you certainly, eruh, look like it, sir...err, space...being..."
Again Saturn smiled, seeming to forget all about his episode of hysteria.
"Oh, no worry! People are always rushing around these days, no time to stop and listen. We all have stories..."
He picked up the dead Remoraid and stared at it thoughtfully, doubting food was readily available here. He should probably eat it soon.

In that case, perhaps I'll tell mine to you someday.
[A crazy Galactic commander and a Spatial God trapped in human form. ...This might actually end well.]
I never did ask for your name, did I?

Saturn still didn't believe the person in front of him was Palkia. Honestly, the Galactic commander thought the man was some remnant of ancient society caught by the island in the middle of a worshipping festival.
"And, uh, no you kinda skipped that, but I've been forgetting my real name lately. It's kind of worrying me. You can call me what everyone else does. Saturn."

[Palkia raises an eyebrow beneath his helmet. Forgetting his real name? Seriously?]
It certainly sounds like a problem. I'd be worried as well...

After a moment Saturn shrugged.
"I don't know, there are other things I'm more concerned about. My name ranks pretty low on the list, you know. It's just a word."
He tucked the Remoraid under his arm.
"So, do you know where I am? One moment I was in Veilstone, the next I was, well, in this place."
Saturn looked perplexed for a moment.
"But then again, place doesn't matter much either, does it? Because you're there, and knowing your location doesn't change a thing. It's like being lost. Everyone says they don't know where they are, that's a funny thing to say, because it's a matter of knowing where you aren't, if you really think about it."

According to Dialga, or a version of him, this place is called Awesome Island. I do know that this we're not in Sinnoh, Hoenn, Johto, or Kanto. I'm certain that I would have been able to warp my way back if we were...

But Saturn listened to what the rest of what Palkia had to say.
Warp his way back...ah yes, the guy thought he was the space god. The Galactic commander thought the guy was doing a good job of staying in character.
"Yeah, I kind of figured that out myself, but if we're still on the same planet, maybe we're just on an uncharted little island and there're search parties out looking for all of us."
Saturn frowned.
"...Well, for most of us, I guess..."
His smile came back and he stuck out a hand.
"I think I need to get going soon, to find a way to cook this damn fish before it rots...so! You're Palkia, and I'm Saturn. Nice to meet you."
Reply
[The armored man frowns as well.] Yes. Most of us. [Because he knows that no one will look for him.]
[So he takes the Galactic commmander's hand with his own gauntleted one and shakes it.] It's nice to meet you as well. You're a lot more pleasant than most of the humans I've met. Go and find a place to start a fire and cook your fish before it decays. The rest of the island will still be here when you are done.
