Starr had seen the glint of lightning in the midst of the storm clouds above. Even with all the power coursing through her, she knew she wouldn't make it through this. The only thing she could do now was pass on that hope to Brisa. "Knock 'er dead." For the first time in what felt like ages...

Starr squinted through the mist as hail pelted her body. Endless walls of light surrounded their opponent, who was looming over them like a fortress. Yeah, no way in hell were they breaking through all that. But Astrid thought they could do it. Goddamn madwoman. Alright fine. Time to try...

It had worked. Starr had slowed down the giant bird, and their shields had blocked all the incoming attacks. Lugia was holding back something big, though. Had to slow her down even more--while Starr was pretty sure she could endure whatever Lugia dished out, she wasn't too sure about the...

Starr lowered her arm from in front of her face, watching the water drip down the flickering remains of her Protect shield as it faded away. That was it? That was nothing. A small part of her brain was telling her not to get too cocky, even if the Shadows were saying the exact opposite. Time...

Brisa and Astrid stood on either side of her. Hard not to feel like the three of them could punch the lights out of any opponent they faced. Then again, this time they were facing Lugia, and not one weakened by corruption for that matter. She looked pretty different from the Lugia back home...

Back at the colosseum again. Yeah, Starr had to admit, it was a little harder than usual to think about all the various team bullshit when you were standing in front of a crowd going nuts for your presence. Starr smirked. "Easy for you to say. You're coming here fresh off your last win." On...

Starr gaped at him in disbelief. Jesus, was he always such a drama queen or was this just a special occasion? "Look, if you wanna turn this into a big production, be my guest," Starr said, rolling her eyes exaggeratedly even though he wasn't facing her and couldn't see it. "Don't have to act...

The hell? So now Nate was the one just trying to do a 'nice thing' and Starr was the bad guy for shutting it down when she hadn't even really done that. What, was being mildly skeptical of the guy who'd been their enemy until like five seconds ago a crime now? "Well obviously it must be a...

Starr narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched him move toward the door. What, so he brought all that stuff up only to drop it like it was nothing? "Okay look, I don't believe that for a second," she said, fixing him with a hard stare. "You wouldn't have brought it up in the first place if...

Starr blinked at her, utterly baffled. "You really had to ask? Of course I fucking wanted you to come with."

Starr's ears flicked toward Brisa, before she'd even fully processed her words. Then her face slowly broke into a grin. "Well shit, if you're offering, I'm not gonna turn it down." She leaned back in her seat, pondering. "Could really go for some cake right about now. And after that..."...

Starr had to bite back the usual snide response to that question. It had been a while since she'd had to deal with people trying to give her shit for her age. "I'm turning nineteen. And yeah, I haven't really figured out the calendar either, but it was summer when I left, and it's spring now...

Starr chuckled slightly. "You can say that again. In some ways it feels like we just got here--other ways, it's like we've been here forever." Being a Pokemon actually felt natural now. Thank god she at least had a form somewhat close to human--the last thing she needed was forgetting how to...

Starr gave Brisa a sideways glance and saw the look of sympathy on her face. "It's not a big deal. I got used to it what with being on the run back home." Skipping town every week or so wasn't exactly conducive to having a dating life. "And then getting dragged into the whole mission here...

Starr chuckled. "I mean yeah, not gonna lie, it's pretty weird. Wasn't exactly into Pokemon back home or anything. But I'm a Pokemon now, and Pokemon like Pokemon, so." She shrugged heavily. "Not gonna question it." 'Experience,' huh. Well, in a manner of speaking. "Anyway, it's not like...

Starr let out a snort. That was her best go at a comeback? It was almost cute. "Hard to say," she replied with an indifferent shrug. "Being a Pokemon makes it kinda weird. Not in a bad way, just different--can't really go off what looked good in humans." ...Well, she could at least give...

Starr covered her face with her palm, struggling to contain a wave of hysterical giggling. "Holy shit. Wow, okay, that worked better than it had any right to." And it looked like she wasn't much thinking about all that previous bullshit, which was the real win. "Hey, I'm not judging--if you...

'Feeling out the terrain.' Well, that was one way to put it. Starr folded her arms behind her head. "Yeah? Is that between the three colo matches a day, or during?" Her face split into a crooked grin. "Cause if you're scoping out tough dates, I saw that Lugia's got a match this weekend...

"God. No wonder you're going nuts, dealing with that. Honestly, let 'em be mad. It's their problem, not yours." Starr did find her mind drifting back to the situation back home. She'd been pissed about her friends not telling her about the goddamn "chosen by legends" thing. This was...

Starr raised an eyebrow as high as it would go "...The fuck? Why should they have known? How the hell would that have helped anything? Would've just made sure that the news got to Maple ahead of time, more like. Enjoy getting royally fucked up once Maple went full Blacklight, everyone." She...
