Yes, that's right. Humans and Pokemon have been living in close proximity to one another for a very long time... in fact, I don't think there's any place in our world where you wouldn't be able to find a Pokemon living there.

Because of that, you'll find that most people that come from my world are Pokemon trainers, or at least have a Pokemon companion of some kind accompanying them.

[When Hizumi crouches down a little closer to Pansage, the Pokemon blinks a little in surprise, before it then smiles and holds out a paw to him, as if offering a handshake. Nice to meet you, Hizumi.]
