It didn't even occur in Satoshi's mind that his reply could be deemed abnormal by everyone spectating. Ever since he had known the existence of beast tamers, he always assumed that all of them could communicate to their tamed beasts through their minds. But then again, it was only an assumption so Satoshi had no idea if it was a common thing or not.
Apparently, it wasn't all that common, hence the unfavorable reaction he got from everyone.
Bug catcher Ray was surprised that Satoshi could say such a thing... this wasn't because he didn't believe what Satoshi said, but rather because he couldn't believe he was fighting someone so powerful. 'It's no wonder that Jean Grey is the one guiding him. Of course, he'd nurture someone as talented as Satoshi.' Bug catcher Ray said to himself as he let out an exhale to mark him conceding. There was no way he could defeat someone with such an insane innate talent... but he'll try anyways.
