The air warped and dirt exploded outward in the area just between Puddle and Nate. "How dare you assume this was not a mutual bond," Karat said icily. "That Deoxys would betray Karat... that Karat would be so weak as to fall under someone's control..." ...He has a point. "We are here so we do...

"I-is that the term?" Owen asked, bringing a claw to his chin. "Wow, that's..." "Don't say it." "That's so cool! And that's--that's the official designation, right? Mega? X? All with my species name? So I'm Mega Owen X?" "You've made a terrible mistake," Wishkeeper told Mia.

Xerneas-Deerling grumbled again. "...A greater love... what kind of... Who are you, anyway?" "Don't mind him. He's one of the... unique children." Diyem sighed. "I'm hoping he grows out of it." "I don't think I'd want you to father anyone's children." "I have wonderfully bad news for you."...

I'm only guessing. Deoxys tend to go dormant for a while once they're defeated. It could be faster, it could be slower. But Karat is now Deoxys' host. ...I do not get the sense that he resents this beyond the fact that Deoxys was hurt at all. They were a couple... Though this is a bit extreme...

"I am," Owen said, "but, well, er, it's complicated, but my world still has some ties to humanity, in a way. I know of them from that and a few other things... I mean, look at me. Do I seem like a normal Charizard anymore?"

"In the wild, instincts tell you that by being afraid--for my species, at least. Charizard are afraid of the dark, and want to avoid being in the dark, because that means our flames are weak, and that means we're in danger. We also like bright areas because it makes it harder to see us. My kind...

"That makes some sense..." Owen frowned, thoughtful. "But even predators need to be careful, don't they? One wrong move against a strong prey and they won't be able to hunt anymore. But maybe Scyther of your world react to that in a different way. Like... if something could happen that would...

Rrgh, hold on. Give me your eyes. Nate would feel a surreal sensation, a cold feeling like someone had crawled just beneath his forehead. It wasn't painful, but it was certainly unpleasant. Mmh... Oh. Wonderful. "Nothing happened to us that we can't handle. That's simple enough, isn't it?"...

Karat was quiet again, but it felt like there was a scowl behind that shadowy robe. "We're fine. This voice is... just a little strained. We'll probably... just speak with telepathy like Deoxys used to." Nate, is everything okay? I sensed a spike of energy against you. Are you alive? "Just...

"That's interesting," Owen said, tilting his head. "Is that how the other Mia was, too? Not afraid?" He curled his tail forward. "Fear is usually an evolutionary thing to keep the person safe by making them not want certain things innately. So if they aren't afraid, they aren't going to be...

"Sprout some--are you mocking me?!" Xerling snarled. "The moment I get my proper body back... you're going to regret such a statement." "N-now, Xerneas, I'm sure he just wanted to look at the bright side of your circumstances!" Buffet assured. "Now, anyway, that's really all I wanted to do...

"...We're fine. There's nothing to worry about." Karat started to drift backward, but his robe caught on one of the lower branches. It revealed Karat's hand, however briefly--which had become a boneless, twisting thing of orange, teal, and lavender.

"Our badge works with psychic power," Karat replied. "We didn't feel like answering. Not after everyone kept constantly trying to 'make us feel better.' We set you all on Ignore." Karat's body shifted a little under his robe in a way that didn't seem natural. "Was that all?"

Nate would suddenly get a piercing headache before he could get a proper reading. It felt angry, irritated, almost. "What do you want?" Karat finally said--his voice sounded normal, albeit a little hoarse. "We're fine." He didn't move from his spot.

The barrier didn't break or let up, but just before they could leave, there was a sound a little further inside. Someone was walking through the brush... Out came a robed figure, just like he'd been before the team had arrived. Owen in particular would have mentioned something like this--how...

No response. According to Chip, Karat was definitely here. Perhaps he was a little deeper inside? Chip had given a miniaturized version of the Mewtwo detector for Nate to bring for checking. Thankfully, it was pointing in the right direction--it had taken a moment to 'refresh,' perhaps because...

The bickering continued until, finally, Buffet returned with a pleased smile. "Everyone," he said, "I would like to present to you... Xerneas and S'more!" The first to emerge was a Machop, small and youthful, but doing his absolute best to appear dignified. He looked like he didn't know what to...

Owen winced. So her demise was only a vague one. Perhaps that was for the better... "I guess that doesn't scare you too much, though," he commented, standing. "You don't seem to get scared by much. I guess there's not much of a reason to, to you?" Mia's psychology always interested him, and...

"Is there... a reason we're here?" Diyem said with an irritable hum. He had returned to his Charizard form for the time being. "What is the purpose of this?" "Well! I just decided that we would have a little... Voice get-together, is all," Buffet explained with a cheerful lilt to his voice. The...

"I heard about that..." Owen frowned. "I guess it doesn't mean too much to you, but do you have any memories of, like, seeing it happen... or is it secondhand?"
