The Hiver Warrior Tk'tlz expected to continue being on a spaceship for the next nine days, then serve on the personal guard of Princess Hllzt, a very prestigious position. It doesn't understand the gates work, it just knows that they take ships across the black sea in an instant. This is the first time it will experience gate travel, so it is waiting attentively, curiously, at the moment of transfer.
This is not a spaceship.

"Wait, wait, hang on, time out," says Bella. "What did you say that was? Where did you get it?"

"Stop! Uh, I caught it in Johto. It calls itself Zertot. It can talk, kinda, but it wanted to stay with me instead of going back into the wild."
Zertot agrees, "Iz true. Bad, hard, in wild." It can barely make humanish sounds, even less than Tk'tlz could.

"I... have also met an unprecedented species of bug that could talk. A few months back."

"Oh, that's great! Zertot has me asking people if they've seen anything like it, too. I would've asked after the battle if you hadn't reacted."
Zertot shifts left and right in the air excitedly. "What name?"

"Humans can't exactly pronounce its name, but - 'Tektools'?"

"Tk'tlz iz fighter from ship. Not friend, but talk at meal. I, builder. Tk'tlz is OK?"
Random Trainer asks, "Are you gonna want to go see it?"
"Yez."
"OK."

"Yeah, it's fine, it's working with some rangers in Pastoria."

"Think Tk'tlz make good Ranger. Good at fight, good at duty."
"I, uh, haven't actually been there. I'm new in Sinnoh. I do have a map, but do you mind giving me directions for the best route?"

"You don't have a flier that can carry you? I can point out a ground route on a map but I almost always fly when I have a city destination in mind."

He has a map of Sinnoh! It's paper, and heavily annotated in the sections he's already visited.

She marks out the best routes, including a section that she can take on her Sawsbuck "but if you don't have a rideable jumper either, better to go around it" and a forest that is "a total mess of bugs, so stock up on antidotes and mind your party balance."

"I've got a good jumper. Bugs, eh? I've got Fletch, fire/flying, but I'll pull someone else too. I don't think she can take on an entire forest. Thanks for the advice!"

"No problem. Let me know how the reunion goes, okay? Tektools is my friend."
allforthehive
"Sure, sure."
Zertot opines, "Will be happy! Find tk'tlz is not exactly find hive, but still good."
"So, a 'no result' for this match, right? I keep track."

"I mean, we can keep going if you and Zertot want but I feel really awkward about using what are probably space aliens for recreational combat."

"I know biology," Zertot claims, "I am changed. No different than any Pokémon. I stronger and tougher. Heal-machine heal me, so, fight is fine. Maybe explain how changed, but iz complicated."

"Okay, if you wanna go for it. Count of three - Branch, heads up - one, two, three!"

Zertot uses poison sting! And then the fight is on again.
Because of the type difference, and since Zertot's fresher, Branch is done before it is.

Yep. Bella puts Branch away. "Pokécenter time for me. I'm glad I could help you find Tektools."

"Time to go in ball?"
"Yep." Zertot gets put away. Random Trainer sends out a Rhyhorn to ride towards Pastoria.
"Good luck!"
