"Kaim, about the researchers studying Mew..."
"We haven't yet established whether any researchers were involved. I don't know whether Mew itself has males and females, but if Mew is the ancestor of existing 'normal' Pokémon, it's hard to believe this individual exists alone."
"In other words, there are probably others besides that Mew."
"If Mew isn't one of the Pokémon called gods, then I think so."
Kaim believed that even the existing Legendary and Mythical Pokémon could be divided into those closer to ordinary species and those that appeared in myths as gods. There were others of the kind closer to ordinary species. Latias and Latios were easy examples. They, too, were Pokémon that appeared in so-called legends, but they weren't unique.
On the other hand, divine Pokémon that appeared in legends, such as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, were considered unique Pokémon.
And Kaim believed Mew belonged to the former group. It wasn't unique; he thought similar beings might exist elsewhere in the world, however few in number.
"There might be more clues on this island. Let's look for them later."

"Oh, this will be my first time eating your cooking, won't it, Kaim? I'm looking forward to it."
Kaim took out a picnic blanket and retrieved a large lunch
