Thankfully, the team was able to jar the Shade with ease, and Karat grunted in approval once he realized the Rattata in question was now unconscious, but breathing--and fat, but perhaps that was a good thing for such a creature. "...Thank you," he muttered, pulling his hood over his head again...

"Eh..." Meringue seemed a little hesitant there, but he nodded anyway. "Yeah, he's a great guy. Egh--but I'm gonna focus on training again. I've rested long enough. Be seeing you?"

"C'mon, c'mon!" Soda said. "Fan out and close in!" The coordination was rough and haphazard. There were several times where the mutated thing had toppled over Owen or Mellow, and a few when Skara had been barely able to nick at it. Yet despite everything, and after several failed attempts at...

Meringue nodded. "Have you met him yet? I bet once you guys go to Destiny Village, you'll get to meet him."

"That's not the impression I had," Meringue said. "Maple showed up and Arceus explained their situation. There isn't a whole lot to question after that, I don't think... They just accepted the help. They couldn't have been in the public eye for more than a month or so, right around when this new...

"Well..." Meringue hummed. "I didn't really know that Maple worked under Arceus for a while. I mean, sure, I'm new to everything, but one day Maple showed up with the rest of her group and... asserted themselves." He shrugged. "Arceus said that she usually worked on smaller things covertly, but...

Meringue tilted his head again. "Oh, one of those weird powers from that Maple person..." He didn't seem all that impressed. If anything, he seemed perplexed. "I guess that'll work as a small shield... Didn't think you guys would be able to pick up those powers. Apparently it isn't very easy to...

Meringue frowned, looking Cabot over. "No offense," he said, "but I can sense from you that energy attacks are going to hurt you no matter what type they are. You might want to be careful about that. Still, with all of you guys together, maybe that'll be enough..." He sighed. "Well. Guess we'll...

"Two months! You caught him early," Meringue said, stifling a laugh. "Then again, I suppose the way you speak of him, he's literally that old. How odd that you can be friends with him already... Perhaps your world is one of those mystical ones where creatures are born with knowledge, one way or...

"How do we catch something that fast?!" Owen shouted, eyes darting around. "Easy," Soda grunted. "We need to spread out and try to corner it. Simple! Can't corner that easily in a forest so we need to circle around. So everyone spread out! You saw it, don't lose it!"

"Guess you do," Meringue said with an amused smile. He was a little off-put by how carefree this Cranidos was compared to the others on the team, but at least he had a positive attitude. "You know," Meringue said, "compared to the others, you seemed to be... pretty interested in me back there...

"Right," Owen said, smiling, though it seemed a little more relaxed than usual. "Happy nonsense." He still didn't understand Bahamut... but at least, he felt, they could get along. It was a much better state than how things had gone in the beginning, at least. That remark about Charmander of...

"Oh." Owen had been enjoying his talk so much that he'd forgotten. "Right. Uh. We were talking about..." After a pause to appreciate that the waves no longer elicited a primal fear in him, he continued. "First thing is we need to have more than one of us tell the more volatile people in our...

Owen nodded. "Forever is something that I don't think any mortal, or semi-mortal, or whatever, can really wrap their head around in a full way. I mean, in some ways, even immortal Pokemon in the middle of being around can't really wrap their heads around it, either. What was the saying..." Owen...

"For one reason or another..." Owen closed his eyes and focused, his orange scales shifting to green feathers. "I had a, uh, memory attack when it first happened. I guess seeing something like this happen to me was enough to bring the whole flood in. Some of the others had it worse. We didn't...

Owen smiled nervously, nodding. "Y-yeah... I guess even if the cosmos is so similar, there are a lot of ways for worlds to play out. Sorry my species wasn't as, uh... nice in your world, or whatever." Owen wasn't really sure if he wanted to inquire; it wasn't relevant to this place anyway. In...

"I'm not strong enough to train with him where it wouldn't be a waste of time," Meringue said, sighing. "One day. One day." Still, he seemed at least slightly more upbeat than before. "You guys really seem confident that you'll be able to help. At least, you do. Do you guys really have that kind...

"That's fine," Owen said, nodding. "I think I can learn a few different meditation methods, depending on how it all goes. I'm not, like, totally blind to different ways of meditating. And besides..." Owen made a vague gesture behind him so Bahamut could take a look at something on his back. "I...

"Heh... I'm not afraid of that part so much," he said. "Just how much is suddenly in front of me." He formed a hailstorm in front of the bluff next, chunks of ice pelting the water far below, and tossed an icy sphere into the sky. This explosion snapped and split the air like shattering glass...

Owen stared at Bahamut in a state that was somewhere between transfixed and nostalgic, like something he had said triggered something in him. Then, a fond smile that did not belong in the current exchange slowly manifested. "...I do," Owen said. "I meditate all the time. I learned it from...
