ground, and only afterward hitting anything, at which point the
sentence ignores that in favor of explaining exactly how firm vs soft
the training mat was. That would be a lot better put as just “fell
backward onto the mat”. Then you’ve got the fact Thrust has an
eye apparently being the reason the quagsire stays down. [ Thrust

post office in Pallet and watched the delivery Pidgey fly away with
it in its grip, Dylan realized why he never did care for Pokémon too
much. They always seemed like a distraction from bettering humans on
their own. How can humans, so flawed and always needing improvement,
help themselves if they’re constantly training and bettering their
Pokémon? It just didn’t seem fair to him, so he always dreamt of
inventing things that made human life a lot easier without the need
for Pokémon.
People always called him “mean” or “crazy” for
thinking that way, but it was just how his brain worked. So as he
watched Pidgey fly away, he knew he’d have a new side-project to work
on… wings for humans. Something mechanical, something workable and
usable, that’ll allow people to fly and deliver their own letters.
But then as he thought about it more, he began to see that if people
could fly, there’d be no need to deliver letters anyway.]
