"Soren Kierkegaard"? [Do we know anyone with that name in Pokemon world...note to self, try to look him up when he goes to the library later.] Hm...you'd have to ask them if that's what they intended when naming him, but I suppose it's possible.

[Although, Ikki is not the original owner of that Swellow, so it's possible she wouldn't actually know either. ^^;;]
