[He's never heard of either of those before, but he assumes they must be animals of some sort. The body of a bear..... Is that like a Beartic? He tries to imagine what this kind of animal could even look like. Huge and powerful and shaggy, a deep bark brown or mossy green, probably powerful limbs with long claws, a Hypno's nose..... It sounds strong, and surely no stranger than plenty of Pokémon species?
He shakes his head to dismiss the momentary confusion, spreading his hands with a wry smile.]
There's been a lot of bad energy lately. Now that it's over, I think the dreams might have been messengers of the gods trying to warn us, but we didn't understand until it was too late. I'm not sure I'd call all trainers sages, exactly, but.....

A trainer is..... mmm, you might call us teachers? We teach Pokémon--they're sort of like the animals you probably have in your world--how to realize their true potential. With our guidance, they grow stronger, faster, tougher--even evolve into new forms, if their species can do that. We learn how to strategize and command, how to develop close bonds and work together as a team--and then we challenge other trainers and their Pokémon to friendly battles, to hone our skills even further.
