#nico's familiar with the concept of telefragging

[catadioptrics]

He listened to Koko’s story, smugly brushing off the internal comments that suggested a low opinion of his intelligence since he’s not the one in a predicament right now, and as he heard about what happened he couldn’t help but think about what kind of lunatic would come up with the idea to use a teleportation Z-Move to essentially bend the laws of the universe.

Well, other than Lucas, apparently.

“Not exactly, but there were a few similar incidents. Like, when I stopped paying attention while teleporting an object and ended up spawning it inside something else, or when I didn’t account for the Earth’s rotation and ended up chucking things into outer space. If anything, getting you to switch places with him is one way to make sure those things don’t happen…” Nico’s voice trailed off as he continued to speak because he was thinking about the implications of that experiment, but then he caught himself and continued to explain what he knew.

This is totally not going to have serious consequences down the line.

“But there was actually something like that in another region that I heard about. You know, there was this scientist that was experimenting with teleportation devices and ended up switching bodies with his Nidorino because his machine didn’t have enough power to complete the process. It was a pretty big deal at the time, but that’s basically what happened to you, right? And since that story didn’t end in complete tragedy, that means you can get your body back if you do something similar.”

"Hopefully soon. It's weird when you look like this."

"Somehow I doubt that, but at this point, I'll take all the help I can get." Ugh, maybe he shouldn't have admitted he was desperate for help like that knowing Nico. Still, it was true. The faster he gets out of this situation, the less likely that something bad will happen while they are stuck like this.

Still, couldn't he get someone smarter than Nico to help out? Ugh, beggars can't be choosers, can they?

"Lucas tried to teleport me out of the Region's boundaries with a Z-Teleport. Instead of that working, we ended up switching bodies." It really was a stupid idea in hindsight. Although that could be the worry and paranoia talking.

"I don't suppose something like that happened when you tried teleporting objects and people before?"
