Kitsu said as she and Keaton watched Aerie walk off. "What right does she have to say that we're wrong?" "Are we?" Keaton asked. Kitsu just glared for a while before answering, "No. Let's go to Ekruteak and find the others." The two of them turned and walked off into the forest. For quite some time, they trudged on in silence. They had quite some time to think about their conversation with Aerie. Kitsu had to agree that there was nothing inherently wrong with being half-Pokemon, regardless of how it came about. It was how they could use their newfound powers that was wrong, or rather how their powers could use them. Power corrupts, especially when they cause you to go wild every full moon. "Kitsu?" Keaton asked. "What?" Kitsu replied. "I was wondering... No one else has seen this gypsy except us. Not even the guys that ran that carnival." "What are you saying?" "Well, it's like we were meant to find her." "You mean like a trap?" "I mean like destiny. What if we're some sort of chosen ones, and we're meant to use our Pokemon abilities and Samurai training to save the world or something?" "Or we could be destined to be monsters. The kind people talk about around campfires to try to scare each other with, or the kind of fools in cautionary tales that your cousin heard from his brother's friend's uncle's father's former roomate." "That too. But how can we know?" "I guess we'll have to ask that gypsy."
