[Smoker's up on Sprout Tower. The outside of it, high up. How he got there is better left unasked.]

And here I thought I promised never to come back here.

[What can he say, he's feeling nostalgic, even if he spent months in this city with people no longer in the world. Just one of those days. Around his neck he's sporting a certain monkey wearing a straw-hat. Though he's got his murkrow out next to him. But for once, they aren't bickering, just quietly reflecting his own distant mood. What can he say indeed? He should be chasing pirates, or dealing with his crew nearly blowing themselves up or some other stupid thing. Instead he's surrounded by animals and little kids. But that's almost a good thing, which really just makes it weird.]

I hate the song for this place. [And nope, he never can master the art of tuning it out.] All right, everyone on this fake den den mushi thing, what's the rarest pokemon you've seen or heard of? One you're sure almost no one else has? Would you rather have one like that, or just one you consider strong? Maybe one you can be friends with?

Certain idiots in my world have a convoluted idea of treasure. For the stupidest of them, it's money or gold. For the wiser ones, it's usually some random piece of junk that has memories attached to it. Actually, my world is a lot like this place. Millions of idiots try to rush to the end of the end of the Grand Line, fighting other pirates or marines just like gym leaders, all to prove they're the strongest, or the best, or to try to reach the end and see what the greatest treasure in all the world is. It makes me wonder if there really is a treasure at the end of all this, but then, I was never one to hunt One Piece, just the pirates along the way.

Rarest by general consensus? A legendary. I've seen Lugia myself, but I'm sure more than just him are real.

As for me, I value the team I have and any additions I may make. They are all strong in their own ways, excelling in their own areas, and all are wonderful companions. I wouldn't trade them for the rarest Pokemon in the world.

Hn. Right. I've heard some pretty wild things about Ho-Oh too. Sounds like the mythic zoans back in my world.

Heh. I completely agree with you on that. Though I'm sure that's the case for most trainers. A good team are a lot like nakama.

As have I, though I've yet to see Ho-Oh grace the skies. I look forward to the day when I might, however.

A good team is invaluable. Especially if balanced correctly. And if I may ask, what are zoans and nakama?

You think that's a likelihood?

Indeed.

Nakama are close valuable friends. Crewmates or coworkers that you might not always get along with, but you find ways to work it out because you're friends and trust each other much. [More or less. He's a marine, so nakama are less important to him, but he respects it, and he does get it since he is that way with Tashigi and to an extent Hina and his other friends. More so Tashigi, but she's also like his cop-partner, so it's complicated.]

Zoans are... All right, there's a thing in my world called "devil fruits." Anyone who eats one is cursed for life but gains an unique power. There are three types. Zoans gain an extra animal species.

Lugia has and, from all I've read, he's more inclined to stay beneath the water. Surely his sky-born counterpart will show eventually. I just hope I will be around to see it.

And ah, you're right then on both accounts. Not that I disagreed, but I can at least confirm my agreement.

Devil fruits though, that sounds interesting.

Guess we'll just have to be ready for anything.

Are they now? I'm partial to logia devil fruits myself, but that's my own bias, since that's the type I generally employ.
