"Hsss... krrr... rrr?" The Shade seemed perplexed, but then pressed back against Nip, like it was some sort of game. At first, not much seemed to happen, but a little more pressure--and then a peck from the Shade that was just enough velocity to do something, and-- Nip would suddenly feel the...

Owen nodded, and then looked to Dave, Nip, and Cino. He was still hesitating to actually put his Shade into this lump, but all things considered, what else were they going to do with them otherwise? They were resonating in some way, too... And Owen could easily try breaking it out if they had...

Chapter 3 – Darkwhite Skies Team Spice was defeated and freed of the Shades that had possessed them. And while the remaining Shades had possessed Darkrai, Thyme and Pepper had enough strength in them to fight Darkrai back and thwart them completely. Starr had used a Useless Lump on Thyme, and...

"I definitely see it," Owen said. "Ahhh!" Chip hovered near Cino. "You can see something? Then there really is a reaction! That's wonderful, absolutely wonderful, that--that means we can get more research done if you're observing it!" "But are we really sure it won't hurt them?" Owen asked...

"I didn't just let them out," Owen said to Dave. "I was careful. I had Protect readied, I set up a little trap in case it got hostile, and I tried to reason with him before letting it out. If he tried anything with sudden movements, I'd set up the Protect and trap him again... but he never wound...

Logging beta reading for @ExplosiveTurkey as well as at least three hours of writing. Everything before has been logged.

"What's going on in here?" Owen asked, stepping around Flesh respectfully. Even though he was in the corner of the room, he still took up quite a lot of space and nearly half the hallway entrance. "Oh, hey," Soda said. "We're talking about the Shades and stuff. You got one?" "Yeah, I do...

Owen gave a small, but genuine smile. "Yeah," he said. "Anyway, take it easy, alright? I think I heard some talk over in the main quarters, so I'm gonna check that out. Rest up, alright? Just contact me on your badge if you need to talk to Diyem. I don't think he'll bother you unless it's...

"Aww, come on!" Chip said. "They're Shades! That doesn't matter too much, right? Please!" Chip floated around Dave. "Don't be a Zekrom! It's fine, isn't it?" Soda rolled his eyes. "Zekrom leads the ethics commission, so basically you can't do anything high-level unless she gives the go-ahead...

Soda looked annoyed at first, but then sighed and rolled his eyes. "Look, the thing doesn't scream or really show any signs of distress we can see, so what's the big deal?" "It's true. We know what a distressed Shade looks like!" "Long story short," Soda said with a slight grimace, "we got...

"Well, for one, it already happened on accident twice," Soda said, "and it seems to keep 'em at bay. And from what we've seen..." "It seems to augment your powers a little!" Chip exclaimed. "That was the missing piece! I need to see what happens when it interacts with your energies. You're very...

"Yeah, about that," Soda said. "I actually decided to check on a few things with you guys. Turns out Lugia had a Shade in her, but it never really got caught. Checked with Celeste and Cabot, who did something like what Starr did--why d'you guys keep doing that, anyway?--and then turns out...

Owen was glad he didn't have a flame anymore, because he suspected it would have dimmed noticeably there. "Yeah," he said with a less enthusiastic nod than usual. He hadn't changed much to others, which was a good thing in some ways. It was ironic, in a way. He had spent a lot of his time...

"I made a very interesting discovery with some of your findings!" Chip buzzed--his whole voice had a light buzz to it, really--and twirled around. Like some kind of magic trick, one of those odd stone lumps appeared from behind him and floated just above his head, holding it like some sacred...

"Ever since I got Radiance," Owen replied with a little laugh. "Not much of a big deal for me anymore. Was a little bit of a scare back then, since it also triggered... a big chunk of my memories coming back. But I'm better now."

"Greetings!" Porygon-Z said, waving a twitchy oval toward them. "This is Destiny Village's lead theoretical analyst," Soda said, gesturing to the twitchy thing. "He's the one that we've been having analyze the Shades and stuff. We found a few new findings, but during his experiments, we...

<><><> In an effort to not look too suspicious, the members of Diyem's team decided to stagger their exits from the dojo one at a time, sometimes in pairs if they were commonly seen together. Eventually, only a reasonable number of them remained, and that was around the time that Soda came...

When Cynthian looked back at Owen, it was a completely different look. Green feathers like leaves; an olive-colored front; even his claws seemed to be a deep, moss-like color rather than their sharper orange tips. His flame had gone away in favor of a white daffodil. "I guess in some ways...

...Right, of course. You're a soldier in your old life, aren't you? So happy to follow orders. Mm. You know, if I was actually misleading you, that would not do you very well, now would it? ...Decide for yourself. That's all I'll say on the matter now. My opinion is to keep Maple from finding...

"...If you ever want to talk to him," Owen said gently, "how about you call me to come along or something? Maybe having me around might help. I'll even go Grass if the fire's a little scary."
