"Good Evening, Doc. I am glad to see that you have finally gotten settled in. It will be good to have a Doctor with your skills around here. With so few humans, someone who specializes in Hybrid Medicine is a good thing to have around." RC says as he enters. "Now, You seem like a rational man who isn't quick to dismiss things. Shall I tell you abit about myself?" RC adds.

With so few humans, someone who specializes in Hybrid Medicine is a good thing to have around." RC says as he enters. "Now, You seem like a rational man who isn't quick to dismiss things. Shall I tell you abit about myself?" RC adds. "Sure. You can start as to why you are older than you look." He said. "For that matter, what kind of a training regimen you are in, because for your age, I'd figure you'd be exponentially stronger...let alone bigger." He said. Mind you, he was running on theories and such.

"The reason why I am older than I look? Well, Rayquaza's do tend to age just abit more gracefully than other pokemon, not really looking their age until they are well into the last stretch of their existence. As for my training regimen...I usually do enough stretching to keep myself loose, then about a 3-4 hours flight in which I use my attacks to make sure I still can be fairly accurate and powerful with them. "RC explains. "As for my strength, It has slowly started to wane over the past 500 years or so. I am still quite formidable, but nothing compared to back then. As for size increase, I don't know. I haven't grown even an inch since my strength started it's slow decline." RC explains some more.

I haven't grown even an inch since my strength started it's slow decline." RC explains some more. So age apparently caught up to him. Even he can't escape the inevitable it seems. Still even with that, he'd figure that he'd still be considerably stronger than a lot of the hybrids here, if not all of them, considering what he has been through. He wasn't going to push the subject. There was a lot of things that could contribute to it. "At any rate, Freth already told me a bit about what you told her." He mentioned. "I too am rather skeptic about what you say, but again, like I mentioned, at least I am willing to find the means to debunk it instead of outright denying it. I have to wonder though...I don't mean to pry though, but I can't imagine, if what you say is true, what kind of a life you lived through the millenia." He said. "It must have been lonely."

"That it is. It is also compounded when memories of people you knew, people you had deep connections with, pass on yet you still remain. Those memories start to play cruel trick on you at times as you do the simplest things. Wandering the lands, training, and sleeping, sometimes to the point of hibernating for numerous years, was all I could do to keep myself sane while the world around me was either busy tearing it's self down to the core or slowly building it's self back up to a point where I could start interacting with other souls once again. Pokemon were sometimes helpful company, but they too would fade away over time. I will never be someone to claim that this existence hasn't been torturous, if not outright hell. I wouldn't wish such a life even on my worst enemy. The only thing that gives me solace and meaning is doing what I can to ensure others can live a peaceful life in what time they have. Snagem, gives me that ability. It also allows for me to have a form of companionship. It is something that I have truly missed." RC explains to the doctor.

To think he knew of two at least that would be in the same boat, but no where to of that length of what RC had to put up with. "I see." Doc said, taking off his glasses and started to clean them. "That would be a hell. And to think there are people who fear death. If only they knew."

"That is true. I am always amazed at those who fear death. They choose to spurn it, like it was a choice. Death comes to us all, even I have come to terms with that fact. Someday the lifespan that I was granted will come to an end and I will move on. But I do not fear that point. I have done all one could ask in many lifetimes. Now, I may be at peace with it, but I am not reckless because of it. I am not one to rush to a premature grave. I still value what life I have left and will do what I can with it until this body says I no longer can." RC explains to the Doc.

Enjoy it while you have it, one life to live and all of that." Doc said. "I'm left to wonder though..." He finishes cleaning his glasses then placed them back upon his face. "...though, then again, maybe its not all too much of one." He said crossing his arms. "I think I am inclined to believe you, and not because of what you said."

RC leans back against a wall and raises an eyebrow. "Then what is it that makes you believe what I have said, Doctor?" RC says.

RCCaughtem RC leans back against a wall and raises an eyebrow. "Then what is it that makes you believe what I have said, Doctor?" RC says. "Keep in mind, RC, that in my studies, I learned to use my instincts for all sorts of uses. Thanks to Miles, I have learned to discern the various types of Chi...something that Blizzard is still trying to grasp, but at least he is getting there. Freth had mentioned to me that you have met people in the very distant past that bears a uncanny resemblance to the people here in the present, and for that matter, underwent similar situations. This in mind, and me getting a great feel of what your chi is like during our conversation..." He said, pushing his glasses up. "...I know of one person here these days, I don't know if he's around now, since I've only been here a couple of nights, but there is a man named Ryan, though only human, who bears resemblance to your human half. Granted I could be wrong in this entirely, but, I digress."

RC takes a deep breath. "I would not be surprised if that were the case. You said his name is Ryan, did you? did he happen to tell you or have you heard his full name?" RC asks the Doc.

"I...honestly don't think I got his last name actually. I think he's told Freth and Blizzard, though, at least, since he's been fairly close to them since they all came together that one night." He mused.

RC rocks back to stand up straight. "Well, just incase you see one or both of them before I do, let me tell you this. I have always been called RC because it was a needed nickname. You see, my full name is Ryan Christopher Caughtem. but since that was usually far too long, everyone always called me RC. It stuck and i have been called so ever since." RC explains.

Doc was almost sure that was Ryan's name, but he wasn't going to bring that up. He wasn't fully confident. "I see. I have to wonder though..." Doc said, crossing his arms. "...does such a fact of another person similar to you exists bother you?"

RC shifts on his feet. "It does feel abit unsettling for sure, but at the same time, I wouldn't be overly surprised. I do get the feeling that if this young man is indeed what we think he is, he will have his own unique way of doing things." RC says with a smirk. He was being quite serious.
