[There was a certain amusement in seeing Diamond interested about her world - it was hard imagining Earth actually being alien to somebody.]

Well, all kinds, really. The oceans are filled with marine life - many different kinds of fish, sharks, dolphins, whales... And on land, it varies between continents. There are lions and tigers in Africa and Asia, for example, and a lot of other wild animals. The closest thing we have to Pokémon are the animals we choose as pets. For a lot of people those are mostly cats and dogs, but there are a lot of others too.

[Her expression turned into one of curiosity as she turned a little on the tortoise in the direction of Diamond.]

Do you have animals in your world too, or are they all Pokémon?
