"Oh, so many times!" Owen laughed, and for some reason, despite the gravity of it all, he seemed jovial. Maybe it was because he had them back now... or he was just the sort to be hopelessly cheerful against such grim realities. "I kind of lost count. It's devastating... But I'm still here. And...

This time, Fugu gave Dave all the time he needed. She understood, and, curiously, she noticed that the way Dave's fur moved suggested he was actually touching something. And she'd heard a voice that said something she hadn't heard before--that must have been Shadow. They were tangible. When...

Wes snapped awake in an instant. He couldn’t see much in his isolated dark void in the night, but he didn’t need sight to know they were there. The hairs rose on the back of his neck and he whipped his dagger out from under his coat. They’d finally come for him. He knew it had been only a...

"Before I got to Cibus," Owen said, "I came from a world like it, called Kilo. But I also know a lot about humans and stuff, too, so... I guess you could say, in some ways, a little bit of both." He weaved left and right idly. "I used to think humans were these mythical creatures that ate metal...

Owen nodded encouragingly. "All this has proven is that it's possible... And I think you'd have to be strong to begin with to get to this point at all. That's how I see it, at least." He nodded firmly. He wanted to ask what her world was like, but he had a feeling that she wouldn't want to talk...

A quizzical glance was Owen's answer, looking her over. "Well," Owen said in a way that perhaps a father would to their daughter, "I don't really know how someone like you could be weak in any way, after all that's happened."

"No," Owen said, "humans... are strong. Just because they don't show it in the same way Pokemon do, they're still strong." He glanced at Cuicatl, then continued ahead. "I was just talking to Koa about this, actually," he added, laughing a little.

Somewhere, Fugu recognized that this was Dave's mental limit, either by Blacklight or by the way he was behaving, or a combination of both. And so, rather than rush in for a second strike, she would quit while she was ahead and let this be the opening--an acknowledgement. Because the killing...

They had been flying for some time, drifting over the skies in this sense of freedom Owen always enjoyed. The usually talkative Charizard had clearly been bothered by something, or was at least pensive about it, for him to be so quiet. So when Cuicatl finally started talking, he seemed almost...

"I have been!" replied Fugu, and while it looked like the Taunt had worked, she had remarkable restraint regardless. She recognized the mind-altering technique, even if it was formed in a strange way. And what a powerful Taunt it was... "Your shadow! Is what he says, to you, true?" This time...

"Flying?" Owen asked. "Well, sure! I was thinking we could spar, since that's a really Pokemon thing to do compared to humans... but flying is also fine! I don't think humans can fly on their own..." He nodded, stretching his wings. "I'll try not to bump into you. I can be a little clumsy in the...

"Hmm..." Owen leaned back, thoughtful. "I'm not really sure... It's too bad we haven't really done any hanging out like this before. But you know, if you're going to miss this place, miss being a Hydreigon and all that... Why not live it up right now, huh? We could have some fun together." He...

Owen didn't reply immediately. Instead, his eyes seemed to glaze over, possibly running through the many times it had happened, and then he stared at the horizon. "Well," he said, "I'll be mad about it. Mad that something was taken away from me when I wanted to keep it, just like anything else...

Owen frowned, nodding. "I think I remember hearing... you have a hard time at home. And with how powerful a Psychic you are, right, it's probably not going to be easy to recover these memories for a while. But... who knows. Maybe a tiny bit of it will help, you know?" He shrugged, sighing. "I'll...

Owen nodded. "Yeah, I am. Fire-Dragon, or Fire-Flying, feels like. Dragons are cool, though, even if I always have the egg group." He grinned, stepping until he could sit next to Cuicatl. "How, uh, how have you been doing? With the whole thing with the storm, and then the moon... It's weird that...

Owen perked up, turning his head. "Oh, uh... Well... yeah. That's why I decided to do some water training." He turned over until he was belly-down, using his wings to pocket some air as he drifted to shore. "And when I bring out my full power, I think I turn part Dragon instead of Flying," Owen...

The peaceful waves were oddly quiet this time around, like there weren't as many feral Pokemon in the water. Curious, because this place was usually thriving with life. Were they away, or were they watching something? There also appeared to be a large splotch of darkness in the water...

Owen grinned, pushing the book aside. "...Regardless of how this goes... I wish you the best, y'know, back home. And that's not just because I'm a Keeper of them, either!" He thumped his tail, showing his teeth with that smile of his. "I think if you can handle this, you can handle a lot more...

Fugu didn't seem to give Dave the time of day. He had a moment to breathe, a moment to focus, but the moment he tried to conceal his thoughts, Fugu seemed to know just when to counter. "And do you speak to one another? What does he say? Why? What is he to you?" She weaved in for a locking slash...

"Oh, you can go to the aisle down the road for that," Owen offered, pointing toward a section that was on the other side of the building. "Lots of entertainment books over on that side." He grinned. "Just looking for something to pass the time?"
