That was really nice, what you said. I know a lot of people want to go home. Maybe the ones who want to go home will be able to, and the ones who don't can just. Stay here.
... I'm sorry for bothering you, it's just. I'm... I don't know. I feel like I need someone to talk to right now, and. I'm sorry. ._. I don't want to bother you or anything, I just can't sleep either and I feel kind of alone.
Maybe -- maybe, if we all get to go home -- I know, um, you can't really go home. Maybe you could go home with me and Dawn?

Thanks, miss Evelynn. I'm just... I mean, you're used to this sort of thing, where you're from, right? You said that this place is actually better than where you're from, and a lot of other people are used to fighting, and things like that.
I'm supposed to be letting my Pokemon do that for me. I don't think I'd ever seen a blade that wasn't used in the kitchen until I came here, and everyone here knows how to use swords and guns and magic and -- all sorts of things, and I hope people understand that that's... not something I'm used to, that I'm still.
Listen to me. I used to live in some nice, sanitized and state of the art Vault. It was cramped, but it was home, and I spent most of my life there. And then I got shoved out into the Wasteland. I wasn't used to it either...but I did what I had to do.
That's what you're doing now. And you've got your friends, Matt, and me to help you. He's the Sheriff, right? Then he's got to help you. And if he doesn't? I used to be a Regulator in my home. I'll help you be all you can be, Pokemon or no.
I'm not saying I don't want to do it. Miss Claire showed me that there's stuff that needs to be done, and miss Galatea showed me that it can be done no matter what ... problems, someone has. I mean, she was blind and still able to fight demons and get around and do all sorts of stuff like that.
It's just that I know I still need to learn these things, and I hope people don't... I hope people understand that I don't mind doing stuff, I don't mind helping people and organizing things and everything, but...
We all need to understand what each of us can and can't do, and I just hope people don't... mind that I'm young and not really used to this sort of thing, the way a lot of people here seem to be.

I... know there are some people for who this is better, but a lot of us... even if our home isn't better, we're needed there. I mean, I guess I'm not needed, but miss Beatrice is, and Ryu is, and I'm sure there are plenty of other people who are needed to do things.
And Pokemon are... um. They're creatures from my world. They're sort of like the monsters here, but usually nicer, and where I'm from we train them and they're... I guess they're kind of like the dire wolf puppies, if you saw those, or something like that. They're not just pets, they're companions, too.

It is, but... I'm not trying to say that some people are more important and need to be home more badly, but everyone comes from a different place, and sometimes... it's different, for everyone, and some people really do need to be home. There's stuff they need to do, stuff that nobody else can.
Pokemon don't all look like that, but they're kind of like that. I can show you sometime? You've probably seen Ketara, at least...

Maybe. I'd...like that. But I'd want everyone else to come too...maybe some of us aren't meant to go home.

... I'm sure you're going to go somewhere, Xion. You're not just going to disappear. I won't let you.

However long it takes, I'll see them all somewhere happy and safe, then I can go back.

... though there are less and less people. Maybe --
Maybe they're getting tired of it. The Gods, or the Crimson King, or whoever. I hope so...

Still... I've made some wonderful friends here. It's so different from people being afraid of me.

[At least unlike the others, he's sure that Dawn will be there if he goes home, too, and they will both remember.]

I'm still a kid.

Some of us don't necessarily want to go home so fast. I feel more content here. Even safer, maybe.
Oh, and what are..Pokemon?

And I've seen the wolves, yes.

However, desperate times often call for spontaneous leadership.

I never thought it'd be me to do it.
