Fuck, that's right. That moment in the fight against Giovanni, when she'd suddenly traded places with Vix and found herself bombarded by attacks one after another. Just thinking back on it made her throat clench with the burning frustration of trying to land a followup attack on the boss while...

Starr raised an eyebrow at Puddle. "That's me, yeah. What'd you need?" Vix sure looked flustered, huh. Maybe it had something to do with the tournament earlier? Her team had been eliminated round 1, which did kinda suck because Starr had to admit she'd been looking forward to squaring up...

"What the shit?!" Starr blinked incredulously at the amorphous shade that had splattered onto her back out of nowhere. Then she glanced around for the source before looking up and seeing Vix floating overhead. "Uh, I think you dropped something," she said flatly.

It had been a long, long day. Even though the team had known all along how much time they had before the inevitable showdown with Joule, the days still dragged like mud. First there'd been the tournament to look forward to, but then after that, it was hard to get too invested in anything with...

"I guess it's too much to ask that this'd be the end of our job, huh?" Starr asked with a small chuckle. She scarfed down the rest of her curry in short order, reveling in the heat. "It's not so bad being a Pokemon, though--not gonna pretend like I'm not digging this strength. And with the...

Starr grinned. "Oh, hell yeah." She took the bottle, opened the lid, and dumped two splashes of the stuff onto her curry. A pause, and then: "Fuck it." She added a third, mixing it thoroughly into the sauce before taking a big bite. Her eyes watered, and a burning pain consumed her entire...

Starr gave a small laugh. "Yeah, that's the human way, isn't it? Can't live without beating ourselves up. Then again, I've met some Pokemon here who need to give themselves a goddamn break, so yeah... we're not so different." She shrugged. "Anyway. Didn't mean to be such a fucking...

Starr rubbed the back of her head. "Huh, so I guess this mission... isn't the first time you've dealt with humans then?" It was weird being seen as such a... curiosity by half the team. Most of them didn't even know what humans looked like. "Eh... I hope that's not that bad a thing. Humans...

Starr grimaced at the mention of repeating the same mistakes again later. "Yeah, that's about the last thing I'd fucking want." What he was saying made sense, much as she hated to admit it. And it wasn't like she'd have asked him if she didn't want to be convinced of it, on some level...

Starr let out a hollow chuckle. "Maybe that person deserves to be forgotten." Being someone else didn't sound half bad a lot of the time. She already felt like she'd been trying to be a different person ever since that day. Like everything since then was some mask, and anyone who got a good...

Starr poked a claw idly at the table while Owen recounted the tale of all the lives he'd lived and all the memories that had been wiped. Yet another thing that would've sounded totally unbelievable just a few months ago, but didn't make her bat an eye now. "Those past lives... you still think...

Starr's ears pricked. "Yeah! Yeah, exactly like--" She froze suddenly as a creeping familiarity settled into her gut. Starr was silent for some time. "It sucks that that happened to you," she said quietly. It wasn't the same. It wasn't. She couldn't just act like there hadn't been any...

Starr's first thought was why the hell a Charmeleon was so powerful and important that so many people wanted to get their hands on him. But then... the same could probably be said of a certain Pikachu back home. "Don't know if my world's got an Arceus." She instinctively found herself hoping...

Yeah, there it was. Owen's optimistic shtick had never struck Starr as the naive sort. (Even ignoring the fact that he was apparently way the hell older than everyone.) Nah, he'd always seemed like the sort who smiled to keep himself going in the face of a whole lotta bullshit. No wonder he...

Defending, evading, healing... all the usual tactics that'd worked when facing the previous legends. No reason to think they wouldn't work here. It just somehow felt different when there was a literal ball of death hanging overhead. And now even Arceus wasn't sure if he'd make it? "Never...

Starr flicked an ear at Owen's words, and swallowed a bit of curry before saying, "I wasn't at the meeting. What exactly is he planning, anyway?" She'd heard several times now that he was planning something big, but...

"Pretty sure he already did," Starr commented dryly, in response to Cal. "That, or Brisa did. Can't remember which, it was over too fast." She dug into her curry, mulling over what Owen had said. "I guess the morale boost is good, yeah. Been trying not to think about it or look at it...
