Once again, there did not appear to be a reply. Eien might have been more focused on keeping herself careful than anything. However, as Bahamut tried to probe into it, and as Raven tried to draw near, a flash of light to the top left of the Tree, from their perspective, barreled down and toward...

Joule without Maple was an odd sight for some reason. Yet there he was, half-buried in the sand, his glassy, prism armor looking much brighter than usual. Little ribbons of light coursed through them on occasion, and better still, when he turned, it was not sluggishly or with a general...

The day had finally come. Yes, it was a bit of a hassle and a little frightening after everything in the Worldcore, but a fight was a fight, and they could all use some levity after that. As well as some time to practice and give some morale to the world, of course. And so, standing on one end...

Shield's fur was matted and it seemed to fall out a little too easily than what was healthy for wintertime. Brisa could feel the bones under his skin. But despite this, the symptoms weren't severe, not yet. Perhaps they'd caught it early. With some careful monitoring, he could easily bounce back...

He seemed so cold. Destiny Village was, of course, a place with unforgivingly bitter weather now that they were in the very depths of winter, and the insides of the buildings were only marginally warmer since most Pokemon were used to that sort of cold by now. But Shield, now that Brisa actually...

Shield didn't reply to that one directly. His paws were shaking again, and this time he wasn't able to keep them still. "...We'll save her... right? I can't... not after I lost everything else..."

As Brisa spoke, Shield's eyes seemed to glaze over as his mind went elsewhere. He was listening, yes, but the thoughts that question evoked... "She was a bit of a prankster. And a little selfish. And maybe rash, and impulsive, and..." Shield frowned, internally wincing. "She grew a lot as I got...

Shield looked off. "...Collective decision based on the evidence we had gathered." He tapped his foot. "...Sorry. The Radiance might have made us a little... hastier. It was the one we happened to steal from Giovanni early, possibly before he perfected that energy suppression..." He sighed. "It...

"Mm. Created by one." Shield nodded. "But that was so long ago, and that Giovanni had been defeated. He escaped somehow and found his way here... Even he isn't sure. But it's not really related to any of this. In fact, I think Buffet had reached out by chance..." He hummed. "That's all there...

"I don't remember. It's all a blur." Shield shook his head apologetically. "Somewhere on the Air Continent. I was covered in bruises, so I think it must have been a real tumble... or something..." He trailed off, thinking. "But eventually I happened upon Karat. He asked me a lot of questions...

Shield nodded. "I have... no memory of any time between when Telum was destroyed to me waking up here on Cibus. Not a single memory. Like I just got knocked out and--to be honest, I thought I just woke up on Telum again and it was all a nightmare..."

"My whole story?" Shield asked, frowning. "I think I went over my whole story at this point... What more is there that you want to know?" He sat up with a grunt, like he had just been getting comfortable. "...Oh, but I didn't know Blade that well as... she is now. I knew her a little from our...

"I don't know... It was so hard to tell... I don't think it was anybody, but I knew someone was there. I didn't see anyone..." Sword huddled as even more of the Charmander disappeared. There were only a handful left. "They saved us from Mewtwo but then put us... there... I... I feel myself...

Shield growled at Brisa, looking back at the forest. "I'm more together than I've been for a while, Luxray. I know what I have to do now, and I know where to go. Sword's right there." His paw clenched. "Once the team is ready to go, I'll be right with you."

I do not know, Diyem replied. I spoke with a Dark Matter from Cibus. There are two Cibuses and therefore two Dark Matters, split off by the power of Arceus when the world had nearly been erased due to... various needlessly complicated circumstances. ...Eien spoke with at least one. I suspect...

Owen interjected next. Um, I've been talking with Maple a little--don't worry, I didn't say anything she doesn't already know--but I think I should mention that when you guys were pulled into the Worldcore, you only went down one of the paths. There was another path that went another way... I...

"The little shithead is around here somewhere," Soda muttered, scanning the shoreline. "Illusions made some of those Shadows go everywhere. Didn't wanna deal with that, so Escape Orb." Soda brushed off some invisible grime off his fur and then headed for the portal. "I'm going. Job's done. Grab...

S'more looked contemplative, like he was mulling over every word being said. This wasn't unlike how several others were behaving, though--certainly trying to solve the mystery presented to them. S'more didn't appear to be acting suspicious at all. "I don't remember... I was... taken. When he...

"Koa," Cal said, "these Charmander are Sword. She looked like a Mew before, but before that, according to Shield, she had been a Charmander. These... are projections of her, or something. Look--it's gonna be okay." She turned back to the huddled illusions. "We're gonna help you, alright? Where...
