This is up to the evolution stones part. I still mantain this is absolutely one of my favorite trainerfics yet, I mean what a read. I literally never know what to expect. 10/10. So the Sharpedo are the only thing people are worried about? Not also thousands of pounds of gallons of water...

Koa remained silent, only giving a sympathetic nod and letting Icetales speak. When he finished, Koa didn't say anything for several moments. "I'm glad your world has you," he said finally. He lapsed into silence again, not wanting to rush his thoughts. Perhaps quiet comfort and listening ear...

"Yeah, we sure will," he replied evenly, a note of confidence to his tone. <><><><>

Koa met her gaze, a gleam entering his eyes. "Eh, you're not quite as cool as her, honestly." A sly grin formed on his jaws. "I doubt you could live up."

Koa nodded somberly. His heart twisted with sympathy as he saw Icetales change in demeanor. He knew enough to know that Icetales history was not a pleasant one, not by any measure. He stared down at his paws, studying the fur on them. A thousand thoughts swirled through his mind, a mix of his...

"I only got to meet her once, on my journey. But she helped me out and told me that advice." He grinned again. "She even has a Lucario on her team."

Koa smiled. "I like that answer." He let out a pleased sigh and stretched. "Someone once told me something similar, that everyone in the world has a responsibility, even if its really small things. And if everyone tries their hardest to do that, than the world can be a little brighter." It was...

Koa smiled wryly. Good old Icetales. If there was one thing ice fox knew, it was how to see the best in situation, and to always choose hope. Perhaps that was why he'd felt a kindred spirit with him. "You're right," he said, regarding Icetales fondly. They'd pulled off plenty of miracles of...

"Oh," he said thoughtfully. "That sounds tough." He frowned and fell silent, considering her words. "Still... Your world is lucky to have you. I think it's really admirable." For a moment, he found himself reminded of Brisa, just a little. Always working so hard to help their world. Giving...

"I guess it does..." he mused. He studied his paws for a moment, letting the silence linger. "What about you then? Why is your perspective so... colored?"

"Being a hero is sick! I mean..." he trailed off as he remembered their battles, the nightmares, almost losing Echo, hurting his friends and everything the blacklight had dredged up- "mostly," he said, his tone slightly more somber. "It's not easy but... I don't really care about the charm or...

Koa gave a half hearted chuckle. "Yeah, that was me." The memory of the attack still felt raw, more raw than the slight ache in his throat. Lying there, helpless, unable to even call out to his team... He shuddered internally at the memory. "I'm fine now, honestly though." He paused for a...

@everything I cant even put thought to word rn im just exceedingly grateful beyond words and my heart is warmed THAT AART Im CRYING

"Huh, thats interesting." He frowned in thought. "So you're a hero of sorts back home too. You go around helping people." He knew others on the team disagreed about the heroes aura, but so far almost everyone he'd met seemed like a kind of hero in their own right. Aria certainly fit the bill.

Koa's eyes widened slightly. "You travel between worlds back home?" Was she kind of like the God Squad then? Travelling all over to lend assistance to other worlds? "Just worlds like yours, or have you ever been to like... a human world?"

"I've met them, briefly. And watched them fight in the colosseum." By now he got the gist at least. They were, in a way, not unlike Team Spectrum. Sent to save the world from a crisis. "Are you an Omen Hero in your world then?"

Koa nodded thoughtfully. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of person he'd have become if he'd grown up somewhere... different. A place like Cibus, or even Destiny Village. Where legendaries were common. "I've never met a legendary yet from my world. But I believe they're like the ones here...

Koa laughed a little awkwardly. Right. Aria was a pokemon, from a world without people. Pokeballs usually didn't make much sense to pokemon from those worlds. "It's a little more complicated than that I guess." Maybe because you're lying. "I mean, some legendaries do help keep the balance of...

Why, why, why. It always came back to that. Koa frowned. "It's hard to explain," he said finally. Because you can't help yourself? Because you're just like him? Because you want that power? "A lot of people back home think it can't be done. Legendaries and humans haven't really been partners...
