Okay, admittedly perhaps a little, but that really does have nothing to do with his name. You were already here when I named him, so there's no missing that could be factored in. And indeed. Johto can't decide if it wants you or not. I'm fairly certain this is the furthest from the timeline you've been, just judging by how...mature you look. You must be from further on in the meteor trip, aren't you? You should get your hair cut.

[[The Quagsire nods his agreement when Dave asks his opinion. She missed the shit out of you, bro. You don't even know.]]

Team Rocket is the short of it. I'm not positive what all went on, but I'm going to assume they were attempting to splice humans and Pokemon to give themselves power and tested their creation on us. Many of us were affected by whatever they put into the air, mutating with a variety of powers. I was graced with ice, John with electricity, so on and so forth. It was oh so fun.
