"Nah trust me on this one, they look pretty bloody similar!" Zac's phone couldn't take pictures, and his notebooks with the sketches based on oscar clayton's descriptions of the legendary were back at his house. "One sec."

He grabbed a spare notebook and set to work recreating the drawing. "They've both got looooong heads, like this. Yeah? And then the kinda sharp, jagged wings. Bit like this. The body looks pretty similar too, at least in profile like you drew it, and then the feet are like big claws, just like a bird!"

Zac proudly held up the finished sketch, which was a halfway decent recreation of Zapdos.

"See, and then if we just add another pair of wings," he drew a second pair and then put his drawing next to Xantho's. There was a big difference between the artistic skill of the two, but Zac's minimalist drawing highlighted the similarity between the two Pokemon. "Father, or maybe an evolution?"

As the drawing of zapdos was reproduce Kazimir had to admit...yeah Zac did make a pretty good rendition that looked like it would be related to their little "soldragon" if they just slapped on some wings to it. "I mean...yeah I think I can kinda see it now." As he looked between the two drawings there was something about this so called "relation" that kept eating at Kazimir until he thought about the trio of birds that Zapdos belonged to.

Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos.

He was aware that two people already managed to tame two out of the three and that at least one of them managed to obtain a strange...power. Could it be...?

"Hey...maybe its what Zapdos would look like if it went under...a change? Dunno if anyone ever caught Zapdos did this but I think people call it...Ultra Burst. Do you know any Pokemon that go through some kind of change like that mate? Even Mega Evolution? Think it has to do with some kinda weird energy or something that causes them to change." If pokemon on their side could undergo changes like Mega Evolution or even mundane ones like a Castform then why couldn't Pokemon on their side?

XANTHO BUYS INTO THEIR PITCH with a sage nod of approval. going strictly off of appearance, it’s a credible enough theory to reason its way into his inner thoughts.
[break][break]

“b-but why would that pokemon be here?”

[break][break]

while his time in hoenn has been limited, his current understanding is that pokemon found in both planes are unique to each other. the fact that zac and kazimir are acquainted with some of these ultra beast reveal further accounts of past events.

[break][break]

“c-change form?”

[break][break]

different world, different rules. a phenomenon common in one may be something alien to another. even basic evolution is found in only one species native to ultra space.

Zac snapped his fingers and pointed at Xantho, agreeing instantly purely out of enthusiasm. "Yeah! Probably! Those are the little purple buggers, right?"

"Yeah so when they train and battle a ton they change forms. Become bigger and stronger. It's super common. Most Pokemon here do it!"

"There's also a thing that's less common. Ultra Burst. Kaz mentioned it. That's when a Pokemon gets super strong for a short while and then returns to normal after." Zac nodded his head, thinking. It was curious that Xantho didn't know about evolving. Could the Pokemon from his home really be so different?

"As for why it's here? Your guess is as good as mine! Plenty of Pokemon came through wormholes about a year ago. Maybe it happened in the past too! Hell, if it's some legend that you've only seen in ruins maybe it's not from either of our worlds and it can travel through space!"

"it would be way on brand for something that's bugging two different worlds is coming from somewhere else entirely. this whole region is a magnet for weird stuff someone should just make a group or something to catalogue all of it. hey maybe that can be a job for ya when your feeling better Xanthos." Kaz jokes about it but the thought of it still resides in the back of his head as something they could do for their friend when he's feeling better. It might not be history related but well there was probably something he could find enjoyable; looking into weird stuff around Hoenn and learning what it affected sort of counted as history did it not?

All the talk about evolution did give Kaz an idea of how to convey what they were talking about to the Megalopolian even if it wasn't a one for one recreation of what they were talking about, it was still worth a shot. "alright well if those little purple guys can evolve i'm sure other creatures over there can too. but like...what zac said normally pokemon on our side and those purple things seem to evolve by battling mainly and gaining experience, sometimes it takes a strong bond with the trainer, other times...."

kaz reached out and released his urshifu and took out his glove with a megastone embedded into it and showed it off to xanthos, "sometimes it takes a little special something to do it." With that he posed and a light engulfed the urshifu as it mega evolved into a more angry looking form of itself as it stomped the ground and raised its fists up to shadowbox in front of everyone. "mega evolution, some pokemon can do it and i doubt its like what we're looking for but...it is something special ain't it?"

“T-THAT’S AMAZING!”
[break][break]

to hear about all the wonders of their world brings a fascination that cannot be matched. just as this world dreams of ULTRA SPACE so too do their denizens salivate for a world as lush as kazimir’s home. it stirs a hunger voracious enough to wage war. enough to kill for.

[break][break]

“a-and they can change back?”

[break][break]

xantho presumably stares (his mask makes it impossible to discern) at the MEGA STONE affixed to kazimir’s glove. the change of his MEGA URSHIFU brings about an astonishment that words can never relay. in front of the megalopolan is the truth, a living example.

[break][break]

“can you two show me more?”

[break][break]

his voice goes quiet and he reaches for his notebook.

[break][break]

“i’d like to see more!”
[break][break]

entertain xantho's request!

you may skip over event(s) but note that we will move through the timeline chronologically. you can find a list of events and their order here: TIMELINE.

in your post please bring and show some pokemon to xantho. these pokemon need to be able to EVOLVE, MEGA EVOLVE, and EVOLVE INTO DIFFERENT POKEMON (wrumple > silcoon + cascoon).

bring at least one pokemon per category (three pokemon total). bonus points if you bring the same pokemon family line.

he wasn't quite sure how to break the news that Zac Ramsay wasn't going to come back anytime soon. it was great that he was going out for greener pastures in this world but at the same time Kaz missed his charja cola buddy. So now it was up to him alone to try and keep Xantho company, which should be easy as he brought along a few critters that might help ease his curiosity.

"alright, ya wanted to see a mega evolution again right? well hereeeeeee goes!" taking the glove onto his hand the stone embedded into it started to shine as kazimir lifted his fist up into the air. strands of energy erupted from the glove and found their way coiling around the appltun as the creature let out a cry that morphed along with its shape as its whole body became enveloped a bright light and morphed into a large apple once the light faded. the apple quivered as the head of the appltun, now looking a bit different, popped out of it as well as a tail from its behind both of them covered in sticky juices of the apple, becoming a mega appltun in the process. "mega appltun! pretty cute ain't he? and like ya asked before they can change back if i just..." removing the glove the appltun suddenly shrunk down and morphed back into its original size as the energy that entered its body flowed back in from the pokemon to the stone on the glove.

"that's not all, did you know some pokemon can evolve into different things depending on what you do to them? like say...." taking out two pokeballs kaz released a pair of applins that looked up curiously at the megalopolan with interest before it was taken by kazimir as he took out two small apples, one red and one green, from his backpack and held them up. "one sour apple, and one sweet apple, feed either to an applin like these and you'll get..." setting them down the little dragon apples got to work munching on the apples only to suddenly glow as their bodies morphed, from eating a red sweet apple one of them turned into another appltun, as thick and juicy as its bretheren. on the other side the one that ate a green sour apple turned into a strange reptilian creature still wearing pieces of an apple around its body like a pair of wings and some armor otherwise known as a flapple, 

"tada! give one a sweet apple and you get an appltun, give one a sour apple and you get a flapple! two different pokemon from the same one, all cause you gave them something different to eat. ain't that something?!" kaz said, channeling his inner Zac Ramsay to add some oomph to the presentation.

"ain't pokemon the most coolest and curious things ever?!"

“W-W-WAAAH!” the megalopolan’s mouth is left agape when faced with kazimir’s presentation. drool pools like fine pearls of knowledge, dripping onto yellow parchment as he scribbles a sketch of appletun’s MEGA EVOLUTION.

[break][break]

“and it shrinks back to normal?” he asks despite having seen his MEGA URSHIFU do the same. the sheer bewilderment xantho has highlights how different their expectations are.

[break][break]

the fascination of two different realms, two different people.

[break][break]

different experiences.
[break][break]

and it is that same experience that poses a more lasting question.

[break][break]

“but your applin are both the same size.” he wipes the saliva from his mouth against the back of his forearm. “how come they’re so similar?”

As the Mega-Appltun shrunk down from its mega form back to its regular appltun size it let out  happy cry as it hugged the other two pokemon that shared its family line which gave kaz an idea on how to answer Xanthos' question about them. It did also spark the question if Ultra Beasts didn't really share something similar between them.

"Well...I guess you can say its because that they are part of the same family. We have a few pokemon that can start off as one kind of pokemon and then they just evolve into different kinds based on what happens to them. Like ya saw an applin can turn into two different kinds of pokemon if ya give them different sort of items. I've heard some can even change depending on the time of day when they reach that level of maturity." Probably not the most in depth explanation of things but he did have to wonder how to describe such a new phenomenon to someone who has never seen it before which brought his focus to Mega-Evolution.

"As for mega-evolving...well its all about bonds." Taking off his glove and lowering himself to the appltun and picking off a necklace with a stone off of it and showing it and the stone on his glove off to Xanthos. "A Keystone and Mega-stone are the main things needed for it to happen, well actually the main thing is a strong bond with the pokemon. They gotta trust you enough to make sure that it gives them the power to really bring out all of their strength when they Mega-Evolve. I take it not many from your world have that kind of trust with those Ultra Beasts do you?"

“I SEE, I SEE,” xantho nods as he jots down more notes. what kazimir explains is a foreign concept but makes sense based on what the megalopolan knows so far.

[break][break]

“in our world,” he starts, “only stingers can evolve! t-they’re hatch as larvae and then mature into stingers!”

[break][break]

this is all stuff kazimir already knows. in fact, it’s a common occurrence on hoenn as well. this world has learned a great deal from the ULTRA BEAST WAR and the fact these purple starters are the most common ultra beast here is ironic, if not alarming.

[break][break]

“the only ULTRA BEAST we can use are those we hatch from eggs. if you d-domesticate them, you can train them, k-kind of.” uncertainty in his voice stems from the occasional incident. the trauma of his past seems to bleed into their conversation. despite his origin, xantho seems more at home with these much tamer pokemon than any ultra beast.

[break][break]

one may wonder if other megalopolans may feel the same.

[break][break]

“but ultra beast don’t look the same just because they’re the same species.” the lack of nails on his fingers stick out as he raises his hands far and wide. “they start out small but ultra beasts can grow reeaaaaalll big! you can tell which ones are really old or are ALPHA predators based on their size.”

"Sounds no different than what raising a Pokemon on this side is like. Ours hatch from eggs too and everything, guess they're a bit more alike than we realize." He recalled to the room full of eggs that he could only guess were the Poipoles that swarmed them and invaded Hoenn along with the rest of the army when they reached mature age. Even if they were cute they did hide a danger underneath them. Even so Kaz's full attention was brought to Xanthos when he mentioned...something peculiar.

"Alpha? What do you mean by ALPHA predators? Do they just get bigger when they eat a lot or something." It was the first time he heard the Megalopolan refer to something so...scientific in a sense."

“Y-YEAH?” the fact that kazimir has to even ask makes xantho question the phenomenon itself. however, he is quick to remind himself that their worlds differ across the board. what’s common sense to him is exotic to his friend. their expectations are different. so is their culture.

[break][break]

so is their diet.

[break][break]

“yeah! they get bigger as they age,” he reiterates. a sporadic flip of his notebook reveals a GUZZLORD in great detail. this one has jagged teeth and bent prongs across its claws. it is clearly a seasoned predator.

[break][break]

“when they defeat a pokemon you can see them get stronger.” kazimir, among others, will recognize this as the BEAST BOOST ability. what he reveals next has yet to be observed. perhaps, it is an ability lost due to their adjustment to this plane.

[break][break]

“they devour their prey and grow. i call the biggest ones ALPHAs.”
