Well you forgot something else, Egie.

[He then brings his hands forward and shows Egon what looks like a spiky meteor. His grin is wide and impish.

... It's almost 90 pounds don't worry about it.]

There's also a ton of alien sightings in this place!

[>:)]

[pkemeter]

[Egon stares at the meteor and frowns deeply.]

I refuse to accept that explanation.

[He delivers the sentence in an incredibly flat tone, though it's clear from his expression that he's more than irritated. He turns away from Ray, still scribbling down things in his notebook.]

You, of all people, should know such conjecture is unfounded in scientific fact and thus should not be counted as a credible theory.

[ghoststanning]

[Ray sits down next to him, still holding the Minior in his arms. The Minior coos softly at Egon, although strangly it sounds really muffled.]

C'mon Spengs, you can't tell me you still believe that there's zero chance that any aliens exist! The multiverse is vast and being here has confirmed that it exists; surely you must admit there has to be at least one universe where aliens exist!

[pkemeter]

I simply refuse to acknowledge it. It's already been proven that there was a incredibly highly unlikely chance of us existing, to begin with, and I cannot accept that something so highly improbable could have extended to other clearly non viable planets.

[His tone sounds a little more tense as he glances back over towards Ray.]

You have no proof that that creature originated from space.

[ghoststanning]

[The rock makes another muffled sound, seeming curious at the angry glasses man.]

But isn't the fact that we exist proof in itself that other planets could hold the rare chance of existing too?

[Ray does get a little offended at the accusatory tone at the rock.]

Hey, don't be mean to them! They're a Minior and I love them.

[pkemeter]

No. Absolutely not.

[Ray of all people should know how useless it is to argue with Egon on this topic.]

They're a Pokémon native to this planet, not an alien. Put it back when you found it.

[ghoststanning]

[Ray pouts, holding Minior even more tightly than he was before.]

They were found here! And they love me so I'm not putting them back.

[Muffled squeak in agreement.]

[pkemeter]

[Egon lets out a grunt, crossing his arms.]

Then stop approaching me with such inane lines of questioning like if aliens exist. You know I refuse to budge on this topic.

[ghoststanning]

C'mon, Spengs, I thought you liked talking about inane things with me.

[He's giving Egon the saddest look right now.

Look at him, Spengs.]

[pkemeter]

[...

Egon refuses to look at Ray. He lapses into silence for a few moments, turning his back on his partner and crossing his arms.]

I know what you're trying to do, Ray. It won't work.

[ghoststanning]

[Ray pouts.]

C'mon Spengs! Don't be like that.

[pkemeter]

[Nope. He's slowly walking away now, as painful as it is. Egon makes a point not to look back at Ray.]

Try to stop me, Ray.
