Nero managed to avoid flinching again. "It's too early to jump to conclusions like that, buddy." He tried crouching down to be closer to eye level with the houndoom. "But it's also too early to start thinking about how to get everyone back home. I know it's frightening, but we'll come up with...

Laughing, Esper floated up to Tricky and wrapped an arm over her neck. "Not with that attitude! But where there's a will, there's always a way! I've eaten chocolate-dipped and fried snow globes before."

"You were both sucked into an Ultra Wormhole — a portal between worlds, of sorts — and brought to this village," Nero explained, despite flinching at his otherworld counterpart's tone. Perhaps all Beast Killers were as aggressive as he was with the helmet on? Of course, the poor guy couldn't see...

After Lillie left, Nero decided to jog some laps back and forth on the grass. Mostly keeping out of sight because gods only knew what the people of this world would think of someone like him. Having Mew wrapped around his head crest didn't help things. But, of course, he was always tuned to...

"I'm a psychic-type. If I'm concentrating, I can sense emotions underlying auras," Bahamut said. "Again, you have literally nothing to gain from all this judgement. It's just going to cloud your mind in battle. And we're all going to go our separate ways and forget all of this, anyway. So this...

"The auroras out in space. They represent the spirit realm," Bahamut said. "The colors shift in tandem with the state of the spirit realm. Bright, warm colors symbolize happiness... and in places where Eternatus never appeared the cosmos were full of such vibrant colors. But no matter how close...

"Well I wouldn't know the specifics. I'm not dead." Bahamut scowled. "Not for lack of trying, but Eternatus cursed me with immortality. My body will literally pull itself back together no matter how much it's damaged." He paused. "All I know is that there is an ethereal realm deep within the...

"Depends. Do they have any chocolate to dip the snow globes into?" Esper poked his chin. "They're too crunchy otherwise."

Chapter 11: The Hanged Man Yuna braced for a painful electrical shock, but instead heard Nikki's garbled wails. She poked an eye open. Seifer stood in front of her protectively. Nikki lay a couple of meters away, water dripping from her jacket. "You all right?" Seifer asked without looking...

"Are you trying to call me a god? I do not appreciate such a label." Bahamut took a step toward Dave. "Deities do not exist in my universe. A god is one who can shape reality and defy the laws of nature. There are no pokémon capable of that. Some of us are quite strong, but our powers do not...

"I did not," Bahamut growled. "You speak as if you come from a planet that's as bustling and full of life as this one. But most of the planets in my universe are nothing like that. They have only a handful of communities. A small populace. They tried to destroy me... so I got rid of them first...

"We can," Bahamut said. "But it is an incredibly painful experience. Do you want to try convincing our allies to do that? Because they will refuse if they hear it from me." He looked at a pillar. "As it stands, there's a way to deal with the attack. It's just very risky for our team... and...

"Well, it isn't an ice cream sit," Esper quipped.

"I can't use that attack anymore. My body is broken. I need to be in the same form as Joule," Bahamut growled. "When I was younger, I did things like use that power to shield planets I hoped to call a home from asteroids and other cosmic phenomenon." His eyes darkened. "And I was almost always...

"Well, the plan is to take these sunglasses back to the guild so they can be properly distributed." Esper put both hands back on the bag to stop it from falling. "But knowing you lot, y'all probably took off in random directions to either talk or have angsty moments or nurse secret crushes...

"Yes, it's normal," Bahamut said. "In fact, shadows or not, Joule's is far smaller than the ones I managed. Perhaps able to level the city, but I doubt it would blow up the planet."

The check-up had gone smoothly. Bahamut was standing in the lobby, contemplating whether to take to the skies and try and absorb more fringe energy from the attack in preparation for a fight. Even though all he did was heal. He wasn't expecting someone to actually seek him out. Let alone that...

"I already feel better." Bahamut was surprised Zinc didn't care about the hole in the wall. "It seems the light from Joule's attack has abated my pain." He nodded at the others and followed Zinc out of the room. <><><>

"Like TM87, because you've got Swagger." He moved his right hand around and clicked his tongue to mimic snapping his nonexistent fingers.

Bahamut tapped claws against the floor. Cabot seemed to still be mulling over what he'd said. "Well, I'm sure there are some on our team who will want to try and call out to Joule like they did with Darkwhite. But I see a problem with that idea. Darkwhite spent several months with us, for better...
