"Hmph." Barky tilted his head upward a little. "I suppose that's one way to kneel." "Oh, shove it up your tail," Star said, whipping his cheek with her own tail. "You aren't even that one's god. Feels like we don't have much power here anyway." She looked to Nero next. "Oh, hey, it's one of...

"Then fight on," Owen said, nodding. "There's nothing better for you to do, so... letting yourself fall into despair will only make the fight you're trying to fight harder."

"Whoops. Wrong projection. Good going, buddy." "Excuse me? In what way is this my fault?" "Well it definitely wasn't mine." "I'll have you know, my abilities to project through the Overworld are unparalleled." "Blah blah blah, I'm the best, everyone else is a bunch of hackers, right, Barky?"...

Owen smiled a little. "Sorry," he said. "I was talking about if you returned."

Name: Star Species: Mew Appearance: Standard Mew Personality: A little impish, not one for strict rules. Cheerful, defiant. Story: Hands of Creation Secret: Is afraid of being restrained. Items: A picture of a Zygarde. Pain: She's probably the more entertaining one to harm. -- Name: Arceus...

"Maybe it is," Owen said, shaking his head. "But I still think that it's better that you can still fight than if you give in and don't try at all."

Owen looked like he was going to answer, but when he started, there was a vacant look in his eyes, like this automatic answer he had was never there in the first place. He closed his mouth again, looking contemplative. "For lifetimes, I had forgotten everyone that I once knew, and was lied to...

"That might be true," Owen said, "but if you can save that world... then maybe you'll be able to get your rest. And if not... You can have a new beginning without Eternatus getting in the way." Owen rubbed his claws together, running them along his rusts and the back of his hands. "If there are...

"But if you're trying to find a way to fix it," Owen said, "and then you leave it behind... Do you think it would be fixed without you?"

"Well..." Owen sighed. "Definitely doesn't help that you're technically doing that. No wonder it's off the table."

Owen's expression darkened a little. "Right..." He could relate to that. There wasn't much of a counter to that kind of fear. If they still had some kind of upper hand against Bahamut, despite their weakness... "Maybe trying to find a safe way to do it... is what I'd've tried. A messenger or...

"She was weakened, and you were more numerous," Meringue relied. "This is one on one. I hope you developed a strategy for that... I did." With a confident little smirk back, Meringue headed out into the roaring crowds, with Incineroar already calling out the beginning ceremonies of the match as...

"A lot of stuff came up between us, I guess," Meringue said, rubbing the back of his head. "Back then, I didn't really know if we'd be at the same level or not. But now, I'm less sure..." He glanced back at Lugia, but she was already walking away. "But hey, if you beat me, that means you'll...

Owen scratched his head, thoughtful. "You can't die, though. And they aren't all that strong on average. I don't think there's too much risk in trying to talk, right...?"

I'm not going to participate in this one (I have way too much on my writing plate to do even more writing) but I can volunteer as a judge if necessary!

"Right." Owen nodded. "It's too bad you can't find a way out, or something."

"That's too bad..." Owen frowned, his tail dimming. "It's the totally opposite philosophy where we're from. Yeah, I'm part of the Thousand Hearts, but part of the way Kilo works is letting Pokemon be able to help themselves, too. We only step in when that fails--Hearts are the strongest of the...

"Can't even evolve?" Owen sputtered. Now it was personal. "How can you be so weak that you can't even evolve?! Even the most basic civilian has free access to training dojos--all Pokemon have a small need to battle to evolve. I mean, not all--I'll respect anybody who prefers not evolving, but--I...

"E-eheh... yeah." Owen rubbed the back of his head, thoughtful. "I used to think citizens of my world were pretty weak on average, but from what you're saying, maybe not. I once went on a rescue to help out a Kangaskhan that got lost in a forest, some kind of... psychotic breakdown. She was okay...

"Oh." That wasn't very good. "Guess I can see why you'd want to do something like that..." He crossed his legs again. "I hope you can find a way to stop Darklaw, then. Maybe then you'll also have your release, or be able to work to it."
