I have thoroughly studied Dib's pokedex myself. If the sparse information on Phantump is true, this is no mere transmogrification...
I... I think we all know that, Age, [Mothman replies.] Even Gremlin isn't that dumb. [This earns a short hiss from the Sableye.
Moth is right, well, except maybe for Dib. He's getting more worried and anxious by the second - after all, he wouldn't put it past Gremlin to ignore orders just because he found something interesting, but it's extremely unusual for the other two to have cut their search short. Between the heavy atmosphere and their interest in this new pokemon, something is DEFINITELY not right.]
Dipper doesn't even HAVE a Phantump... what's so important about this one, guys? What's it trying to show us? I mean, if it has anything to do with Di-
[That's about when Dib's encyclopedic memory decides to regurgitate the highlights of Phantump's pokedex entry at him. It was one of the pokemon he'd taken a particular interest in due to the strange stories surrounding it, of course, so he'd dug up quite a lot of information on the species - it just hadn't been at the forefront of his mind, wrapped up as he was in finding Dipper. His eyes go wide, and the last syllable comes out as a choked squeak.]
