The next few moments would seem pretty unnatural and awkward for the average person, but to a kid that thought humans were completely retarded (including the fact that his social skills were on par with a slowbro), the course of the next few minutes were a total clusterf***. Zachary could barely keep up, so he saw everything as random glimpses and really short scenes.
Starters, the annoying kid left him. That was already established. Blue haired boy/possessed kid started using low grade cusses for no apparent reason. Sure, Zachary could relate - sometimes swearing was the only response he could think of to randos - but the kid's English sounded horrible. Started speaking in some gutteral language to his pokemon, which was kinda cool but more stupid than interesting. Ralts appeared on with the blue haired kid, confusing probably the rest of everybody. Older... sister person - Zachary was really starting to go out on a limb with all of these assumptions, and it was really pissing him off. Why couldn't people just explain on contact with another 'Hi, my name is ____ and this is my sister. And I think you look like an ass.' But no, that was apparently too blatant. Anywho, off topic. Older sister starts talking to loser annoyance about how Pinky won't give up Shiney Charizard because of bonds. DUH was all Zachary could think of. Older sister explains that she basically translated what her younger brother had said, and that equals an assumption win for Zachary.
Next, rando girl shows up - blonde hair, sort of cute. Hovers in background, unsure of to join into the onslaught of confusion. Zachary then notices that annoying kid has a look of annoyance - possibly about himself - and Pinky basically says ditto to the Blue haired people. Pinky then has an expression of pain surge through his body for some reason, and gives out a yelp of surprise. Again, no real reason. Blondie finally decides that she wants to join the party of confusion, but comes in timidly. Annoying kid continues to remain annoying with a comment about life stories, then decides to give out his name - Moron Miles has a good ring to it - and basically demands that everybody share theirs, like some form of powwow - or something. Pinky refuses handshake - double smart move. Somehow, Zachary's faith in humanity restored a little bit - and gives name of Evande Cross. Zachary had originally hoped that Pinky's real name would help the gender problem that Zachary was feeling, but it didn't. It felt more like when he was a kid, and some old guy asked him to see if a ghost pokemon was male or female. Conclusion? Impossible.
Now, after that massive onslaught, Zachary finally had the time to rest up his overworked brain and place a hand on his temples in annoyance, a sigh escaping his lips. He didn't realize that over the years he had left, Lobelia Islands had gotten populated with the confused and moronic. What made it worse was that the kid just had to point his little finger at him as well, so now Zachary was basically singled out - just like the rest of them - to say his name. Not that he planned on doing so, for he had no reason. These people didn't need to know who he was, or that his parents ran that BTC out of town. Nobody needed to know anything about him, and that was just the way he liked to keep things. Fair and simple.
So, as Pinky told the quiet girl to spew it, Zachary did a recap on all of these peoples. For starters, Miles was an idiot, and the kind of person that Zachary beat up in middle school. Zachary liked to think of Evande as one of those gender-less Pokemon that wanted to be left alone - good on you, Pinky - and there were two siblings with blue hair, and one of them couldn't speak English. Glorious, what the hell have I walked into today? Zachary shook his head, a small chuckle escaping his lips. He thought that this may be Arceus throwing some karma at his face, or Darkrai messing with his mind again. Regardless, it sucked, and he really wanted to get out of there.
Zachary pushed his sunglasses back onto the top of his nose, covering his eyes again, and hoped that nobody noticed him turn to walk away. While he turned, he gave Absol a funny look and said "Guess like I won Absol - looks like life is gunna stay the same with us." Absol looked a little annoyed by the outcome, but let it go fairly easily - no point in getting annoyed by somebody that was thinking clearly. So when Zach finally got himself turned fully, and Absol no longer cared about the group, the punk merely stated in a hoarse voice.
"Zach." He really didn't care if it was loud enough, since it didn't matter to him. If they heard his name, good on their hearing abilities.
