Magical beings are kinda...elusive in my world.

[Most of them were driven to extinction by actions of the Academy in the past, way before Maka was born. She used to regard it as just history, but in retrospect it...disgusts her at how unnecessarily cruel it was.]

But anyway, that's the real benefit of exploring this world, too, you get to see all the different varieties of Pokemon and decide on which ones you like and want to befriend.
