Zorua watched as the Charmeleon, Joka, made his way over to her, wondering what he wanted. He spoke, and Zoey's eyes widened just a bit, she had misread him. "I'm sorry, I guess I misunderstood you." She said, smiling. His next comment surprised her again, he apparently didn't like being thanked. He was an odd pokemon, to be sure. "Why don't you sit down?" She asked him, gesturing to the ground next to her. "It's probably more comfortable than standing." He asked her about her memory, and Zoey closed her eyes, trying to think. But he started laughing out loud a few moments later, and she had no idea why. Was he laughing at her? Or something completely different?
Deciding to cast it off as something that wasn't her, Zoey spoke, hesitantly. "It's all a big blank... I can't remember much. All I recall is that... My name is Zoey, and that I... I don't know... Ugh, this hurts..." She said, shaking her head a little bit as the rain continued to fall. "I think... the number seventeen comes up, though I don't know why... Just bits and pieces of information, as significant as grains of sand in a snowstorm..." She said sighing.
"Why can't I remember? What happened to me to cause me to lose my memory? Wouldn't someone know me, or have seen me before? But no one knows me, no one has ever seen me before. So... who was my family? Did I have a family? Who was I? Who am I?" She was talking more to herself at this point, but then realized that Joka was still there. She had no idea how to reply to him, or talk with him. He didn't seem like he wanted to talk. But maybe something he said would spark some sort of a conversation. "Do you have a family?" She asked him, head tilted a little to the side in curiosity.
"And... do you know of any place I can stay while I try to regain my memory? I'm not asking for you to shelter me, I just wanted to know if you knew of a place where I could stay... I'm willing to work if needed, but I can't just stay out here in the open... Not if there are pokemon who want to kill me out here..." She said, frowning.
