They're not things, even creatures is a better word since even locals use it a lot.

[Oh geez, being called a thing or it is just the worst, isn't it? Utau gives a tiny smile at the Sneasel. Arms still crossed, she looks at the other girl with a serious face.]

I've been here for a little over two years, but I've heard some people have been here a few years more than that. As for your first question, you get used to it, when it's the only option you get here. There's no way home, you might the only one from your world here, and if you decide to travel alone, they're your only company for days or weeks on the routes between the cities. That, and there are wild Pokemon attacking you two on the route, you probably don't want to fight them by yourself.

[Well, admittedly she wouldn't have gotten used to living or working with Pokemon so fast, if she hadn't woken up in Team Rocket HQ on her first day. ...And even then she really missed her magical girl powers a lot, but anyway.]

[The Sneasel seems to at least be pacified by Utau's smile, ceasing its hissing. Nico glances down at it before returning her gaze to Utau, pursing her lips slightly in a pout as she listens to what she's saying. Even though it's begrudgingly, she seems to be taking in all of the girl's advice. She supposes she could at least try and follow them, anyway.]

...So just be nice to it, then? That's all?

[Good girl! Most of it comes from experience too, Utau used to be horrible at some of her pokemon at first...]

Well, that's definitely not all, but it's a much better first step than the ones you've seem to have been trying to take so far.

Hmph. ...I'll keep it in mind, then.

[That's about as close to a "thank you" that Utau is going to get.]

Good for you. It's not her fault that you're here.

[That's as close as you're welcome as you're going to get.]

[She would ask whose fault is it, then, but considering the other's been here for two years, she's sure there's no answer to it.]

So, what are we expected to do other than live here peacefully?

[Utau shrugs.] Most people travel around the two regions to see the world and beat the gym leaders, I guess. Or settle down to live in one of the cities for months, while their pokemon might start breeding with each other.
