Starr gave a small wave and turned to walk out of the lab, followed soon after by Lexx. "You know, I was ready to go, like, a good ten minutes ago," Lexx pointed out. "Guess you weren't in that big a hurry." "Oh, shut up," Starr replied, giving him a shove. <><><>

Starr nodded distantly, mulling his words over. She'd already been planning to treat this just like any other mission. Sure would've been nice if she could just forget all the reasons why it wasn't. Starr absentmindedly glanced at her badge and realized she'd stayed here way the hell longer...

Ebony beamed. "Yeah! Definitely!!" For sure! Once they made it out of here.

Ebony perked up a bit. "Yeah! My trainer is the best! We're really strong! We fought Team Rocket, and won!" They always won. Ebony wagged her tail, pushing her nose against Salem's arm again. "Yeah, what she said! It'll be fun!" Some of them were about to become enemies. Some of them...

Ebony deflated slightly upon seeing everyone suddenly turn anxious after the black Charizard explained the game. So much yelling, and no one even wanted to battle! She nosed both the Vulpix-human and the Purrloin-human on the arms. "It'll be okay. There's no way we're not gonna win! Or at...

Even the guy literally made of truth didn't know if Soda was too far off the deep end to fix. Even if that wasn't really surprising, it sure didn't make their job sound any easier. But this was Cibus. How many times now had they managed to beat the shit out of a problem and wind up making...

Starr folded her arms behind her head. "Well, that's one thing our worlds have in common at least." She could help feeling a bit of smug satisfaction that the so-called Legendaries always seemed to get bailed out by humans. This was the first time she'd really had to think about how this...

Ebony closed her eyes and leaned into the pats. This was nice. It took her a few seconds to process what the Vulpix-human had said. "Your dad made you? Not Team Rocket?" Or maybe he was part of Team Rocket. But it sounded like she liked him, so he had to be nice. Maybe he ran away from...

"Talking, wh...? Why does everyone think I wouldn't know how to talk?" Okay, maybe she'd evolved a little early and sometimes people said she had a babyface, but still! She'd be full-grown soon! What the heck! Maybe... maybe it was the other way around? Maybe they weren't very good at...

Starr let out a small chuckle. "Guess I can't argue that we wouldn't have gotten our asses handed to us back then." Maybe that 'truth' of his would've just made things worse if it'd worked anyway. She didn't really... want anyone being able to just see the 'truth' about her. Maybe Zekrom...

Ebony paused, staring at him in bewilderment. "...Yes?" She thought for a bit, and then helpfully added, "So are you."

"Huh. Guess that'd be pretty handy for figuring out what's actually a threat or not." Starr smirked a bit. "Sounds like they should've just brought you in if they wanted to know so bad if we were actually evil. Would've spared a whole lot of instances of people randomly attacking Team...

Ebony took a step back, growling. "Alright fine! Jerk!" She stuck out her tongue. He couldn't have been very smart if he didn't even know that she resisted dark attacks. Stupid! There were better people to fight with anyway. Like that Lucario who just showed up! Oh, wait... he looked...

A Houndoom bounded toward the gathering in the middle of the meadow, the introductory letter speared on her tailtip. She'd never been able to read before. That was new and different! Endless grass was also new and different. This crowd was really strange too--some of the Pokemon were dressed...

Owen had already mentioned something like that, so Reshiram's posturing didn't quite have the impact as it would've if Starr was learning this for the first time. Still, it was hard to deny that an ability like that would make it pretty damn hard to endure his attacks. "Never really heard much...

The edges of Starr's mouth curled up, just a bit. "Yeah? Well, that'd be saying something, seeing as Zekrom was already hard as hell. Guess we've got that to look forward to." It was pretty wild to imagine the head of science being ready to throw down on the battlefield, but seeing that bit...

Well, he sure seemed cheerful. Starr had been expecting more of a stuffy attitude from a legend running a science lab. "Change in scenery's always good," Lexx said, nodding. "And hey, I bet a few members of the team will be pretty relieved once that tracker's done." He paused, inclining his...

Starr turned and blinked up the huge white dragon entering the lab behind her. Months of living in Destiny Village and she still wasn't used to running into giant Legendaries going about their daily errands or whatever. Lexx, of course, saw Reshiram all the time and waved cheerfully. "Oh hey...

Starr exhaled slowly, rubbing her temples. "We're fine, I'm just. Never mind. Sorry for making things weird." Lexx shouldered his bag. "We'll get outta your hair now. Good luck with fixing Mecha Reshiram again," he said, giving a small wave.

Starr let out the breath she'd been holding. "Right. Okay, that's good." 'You know, you could just talk to Owen. Bond over mutual brainslugging.' "Are you ready to go yet?" Starr snapped, rounding on Lexx. He raised both hands disarmingly. "What, I'm almost ready." He went to unplug his...
