Starr let out a small chuckle. "Guess I can't argue that we wouldn't have gotten our asses handed to us back then." Maybe that 'truth' of his would've just made things worse if it'd worked anyway. She didn't really... want anyone being able to just see the 'truth' about her. Maybe Zekrom...

Ebony paused, staring at him in bewilderment. "...Yes?" She thought for a bit, and then helpfully added, "So are you."

"Huh. Guess that'd be pretty handy for figuring out what's actually a threat or not." Starr smirked a bit. "Sounds like they should've just brought you in if they wanted to know so bad if we were actually evil. Would've spared a whole lot of instances of people randomly attacking Team...

Ebony took a step back, growling. "Alright fine! Jerk!" She stuck out her tongue. He couldn't have been very smart if he didn't even know that she resisted dark attacks. Stupid! There were better people to fight with anyway. Like that Lucario who just showed up! Oh, wait... he looked...

A Houndoom bounded toward the gathering in the middle of the meadow, the introductory letter speared on her tailtip. She'd never been able to read before. That was new and different! Endless grass was also new and different. This crowd was really strange too--some of the Pokemon were dressed...

Owen had already mentioned something like that, so Reshiram's posturing didn't quite have the impact as it would've if Starr was learning this for the first time. Still, it was hard to deny that an ability like that would make it pretty damn hard to endure his attacks. "Never really heard much...

The edges of Starr's mouth curled up, just a bit. "Yeah? Well, that'd be saying something, seeing as Zekrom was already hard as hell. Guess we've got that to look forward to." It was pretty wild to imagine the head of science being ready to throw down on the battlefield, but seeing that bit...

Well, he sure seemed cheerful. Starr had been expecting more of a stuffy attitude from a legend running a science lab. "Change in scenery's always good," Lexx said, nodding. "And hey, I bet a few members of the team will be pretty relieved once that tracker's done." He paused, inclining his...

Starr turned and blinked up the huge white dragon entering the lab behind her. Months of living in Destiny Village and she still wasn't used to running into giant Legendaries going about their daily errands or whatever. Lexx, of course, saw Reshiram all the time and waved cheerfully. "Oh hey...

Starr exhaled slowly, rubbing her temples. "We're fine, I'm just. Never mind. Sorry for making things weird." Lexx shouldered his bag. "We'll get outta your hair now. Good luck with fixing Mecha Reshiram again," he said, giving a small wave.

Starr let out the breath she'd been holding. "Right. Okay, that's good." 'You know, you could just talk to Owen. Bond over mutual brainslugging.' "Are you ready to go yet?" Starr snapped, rounding on Lexx. He raised both hands disarmingly. "What, I'm almost ready." He went to unplug his...

Starr shrugged impassively. "No reason. I just was wondering. You know... since he had one of those things in him all that time, with no one noticing. I wondered if there were any... noticeable side effects." 'Nice save. Real smooth.' 'Oh, shut up.'

Name: Ebony Species: Houndoom Appearance: she's a houndoom Personality: curious, mischievous, boundless energy, immature, not very smart, probably some low key trauma Pronouns: she/her

Starr glanced away, furrowing her brow. Yeah, you're telling me. So they were easy to destroy but could overwhelm pretty much anyone. That should've made her feel better. And it wasn't like she was the only one who'd... "Did Owen ever stop by here?" Starr asked suddenly.

Starr relaxed somewhat. "So the one that was in Maple's gone, then." That was good. Lexx gave her a sideways glance, but he didn't comment. "So when you say 'weak,' you mean compared to what, exactly?" Starr asked with a tone of indifference. "Something with enough energy to brainwash gods...

"Hey, nerd. I texted you a while ago." Lexx glanced up from his spot at one of the computers in the lab. He was leaning back in his chair, feet resting on the desk, apparently waiting for a bunch of text on the screen to finish doing something. He shrugged. "Got wrapped up in my work. You...

The sound of the announcer's voice and the roar of the crowd dragged Starr into something approaching a conscious state. What happened--they won? Nice. Man though, she really had to stop getting knocked out so early and leaving Brisa to pull off the win. And she hadn't even gotten hit this...

Starr braced herself as the crashing waters tore through her substitute like paper. It didn't just stop there, though. It swept up Thyme's grasses into a thick, swampy mess covering half the battlefield. Yeah, this sure was familiar. Starr's mind flashed back to sinking into the muck...

It felt like this had been a long time coming. They'd been talking about taking on Team Spice for ages, it just hadn't lined up until now. Seeing them now, across the battlefield, it was hard not to think back to that time they'd clashed back in Aegis Cave. Felt like that was a million years...

Y'know, even though the legendary gym is deeply silly and getting the boot in the revision, I'm having fun imagining the timeline where the gym has like, worldbuilding attached to it: Obviously being the coolest gym ever not just to Mark but pretty much half the kids in the region. The...
