Cal and Remi nodded, though Remi seemed a little more subdued than before. "...How's he doing?" Remi asked. "He's doing alright. Things have... held him up, I think. A lot of things, so that's why..." Remi nodded a few times, each one very slow, as if shaking around the thoughts. "...Guessing...

The instant Luz finished, they kicked off. Remi left a small crater in the ground behind her where she'd jumped, but Cal had left no such impression. Remi noticed. Remilia held her arm back as a twisting, green-gold energy wrapped around her arm and extended outward into a blade of gold-energy...

Pine nodded sagely. "Okay," he said. "I trust you." Nanab coiled into a defensive stance. "Good luck, then!" she said. "Let's start!" Pine looked to Incineroar and waved. Incineroar replied with a nod of his own. "And so, with both sides ready... BEGIN!" Nanab slithered back and entered some...

Remi nodded and smiled and it seemed like she was taking in every word. But the moment Luz said that name, the moment Owen was uttered, her entire expression changed for a flash, for a blink that they all noticed. The grin wavered, her eyes seemed to dim, then spark with surprise and a strange...

"Huh, Cibus." The Sceptile placed a claw under her chin and tilted her head in a way that felt exaggerated, and yet Cal had a feeling that it was all genuine. Her personality was overpoweringly bright and impossible to ignore. Cal felt so... small. "I dunno what a Cibus is, but it sounds neat...

Buffet seemed to have the same idea, though he seemed more cautious. "I... I don't know if I should use her name," Cal said, looking down. "...Sorry. I guess maybe this was a mistake. Let's just--" A large, rounded object flew toward Cal and struck her in the false skull. It sank in...

Silence. "Eien..." Diyem nodded, but Xerneas coiled a little tighter around him, and the Charizard tensed. Seconds passed. And then he relaxed. "...It will all be over soon..." And that was all he said.

"Right..." Cal smiled, just a little, with her embers. She spent the rest of the time silently psyching herself up for whatever would be coming next. Little wisps of light trailed around them, and this seemed strange to Cal. It wasn't something they'd seen before. "What's going on?" Cal asked...

"...How do you not regret how something turns out?" Cal asked. "What happens if she gets horrified and has some crisis of her own for seeing me? Or what if she berates me and..." "Do you really believe that would happen?" Buffet asked. "I don't know!" Cal blurted. "I--I'm based on ancient...

Shaymin grinned and stood there a little awkwardly like before, but let him do his thing. Soon, they departed, and the Shaymin talked amongst themselves about their little Dark Warrior representative. The ice thawed as he left, and soon all returned to normalcy once more. <><><>

"Tch..." Cal grumbled something. Feelings. Why did people always ask about feelings? Maybe she wanted to sit and fester for a while. Maybe it was easier being mad at the world. Owen, Pop, now Luz. Why did everyone have to be so even-headed? Why couldn't they get mad for once?! Cal deflated...

Near the middle of the street of houses was a large home suited for accommodating Pokemon that were reasonably large, perhaps even larger-than-life. This was a little awkward for some of the residents, particularly Nate, but there seemed to be accommodations for smaller Pokemon to go out and...

"...I'm glad that you're doing fine after meeting her," Cal replied simply, nodding. "I dunno how to phrase it otherwise, I guess. I... uh... yeah." Not one for words, it seemed. "You mentioned someone that you're based on too, didn't you?" Buffet asked, and to that Cal said nothing.

It was a quieter point during the day for X-Eye, which usually saw most of its customers as the sun set. During the afternoon, things were calmer. Pokemon weren't quite done with their work and weren't quite out to lunch, leaving only the few on vacation or on odd schedules to populate the...

"Hmm... you'll want to be in a warm environment, so if you're going back to Destiny Village, you should ask for an artificial greenhouse or something to keep it healthy." Shaymin nodded, considering other requirements. "You look like you know the basics already. That's my only advice for making...

Protein and S'more were the only ones to go on that particular scouting mission, so there was nobody else to follow up with. Giovanni would accept that one, and while he had trouble actually holding the cards with his wings, he was nearly unreadable. If Nate ever attempted Foresight, Giovanni...

The crowd cheered as it always did. Incineroar was excitedly doing his usual calls and announcements, waving and gesturing to hype the crowd up as the four combatants entered the arena. "We have a truly heroic match for us today, folks!" Incineroar said. "The Heroes of Paradise against two...

"That's good, dear." Buffet nodded with a calm smile. "I'm glad these trips have been fulfilling. And what about you, Cal? How are you feeling?" "H-huh?!" Cal jolted, her ectoplasm churning. "Ah, oh dear, are you feeling okay?" "I'm alright."

"A Gracidea? Well, sure." Shaymin grinned, then nodded toward another one nearby, who flew off. "They are very special gifts that we give... but considering you're part of Team Spectrum, and it would help you feel at peace while battling in this foreign land, I don't really see why not! Besides...

"Well, hopefully she doesn't have the same troubles," Buffet said slowly. "It's strange. I think Brisa would like to know that, Luz. That even though the Wandering Light has nothing but praise and legends, she's still tired and may have the same plights as Brisa..." Buffet sighed. "It's hard to...
