Jade stood stock still, unable to take her eyes away from Keldeo, pulse pounding in her ears even as the legend stepped back, putting more space between that horn and her chest. She didn't dare let out a sigh of relief, not yet. It felt odd, receiving that kind of praise. Odd to hear Keldeo...

Jade stood frozen as Keldeo charged, thoughts racing. He couldn't possibly be planning to... but she'd just seen him hurl Mitch through the air like he was nothing. She already knew he wasn't going to hold back against a human. 'Bare your soul and show me the strength of your will!' She'd...

Oh my god what. That was really the only thought in Jade's head as she watched Mitch leap onto Keldeo's back and then hold on for dear life as the water horse bolted around the lake before finally throwing him off with a violent thud. Mightyena raced over to her trainer, and Jade stayed...

Jade took a step backward, eyes wide. She opened her mouth to speak, but the words caught in her throat. Keldeo's statement sent her mind ringing back to that fateful day underneath the Whirl Islands. 'Would you sacrifice your life in battle for your beliefs?' Jade clenched her fists...

Jade froze when the first jet of water shot right past Mitch's head--slowly, wordlessly sliding her eyes toward him. Then Keldeo spoke, and her brain sort of restarted, and she remembered what they'd come here to do. No big deal, just facing a legend. She could do this. She'd done this. No...

Nine shook his head, but he seemed pleased by the compliment. "*I can't fly. Most of my teammates can, though.*" He paused, as though contemplating what it would be like to fly by his own power. "*My power is my lightning. It's--*" Jade flinched as Mitch shouted a challenge to the legend...

Jade suppressed a snort at Mightyena's question. "That's... not quite." "*Someone else stole its powers and gave them to me when I was born,*" Nine replied matter-of-factly. That... actually wasn't a bad way to put it. Mitch seemed on board with the idea of getting more Legendary help, and...

Jade turned at the sound of a voice and a Pokeball being opened. Oh, it was him, the guy who'd been taken, and then reappeared days later. (She was pretty sure Odette had said his name was Mitch...?) He was accompanied by a very friendly-looking Mightyena, who was now wagging her tail and...

As Jade made her way down the trail that led to the lake, she was distinctly aware of Nine's gaze on the back of her head as he reluctantly followed behind. "*We should be investigating the Hoopa,*" the Pikachu said tersely. "*You heard what Shaymin said.*" Jade let out a deep sigh. "I know...

Jade smiled faintly. Hopefully things would work out for him back home. She glanced at her watch. It was getting later in the afternoon, and she still hadn't managed to find anything important to the disappearances.. "I should probably head back to town, but it was nice talking with you,"...

Oh geez. Note to self, this kid was in real bad shape; seemed like just about anything got him scared out of his wits. "It's okay, no one's saying you have to hide yourself. He just thought maybe you'd want to," Jade said quickly, throwing a glance at Nine. He gave her an indifferent stare...

Jade rubbed the back of her head. "I guess I can't know why without any context, but like... I just met you. It wouldn't really make any sense." Maybe for a Pokemon with a lot of anti-human sentiment, sure. But why would a human be mad at him for... being human? Nine's birdlike stare was...

“I mean…” Jade struggled to find the right word. “Of course there’s stories about it, but it’s not something that could actually happen, right? It’s like, something out of a sci-fi or a fantasy or…” She trailed off. “Or like what happened to all of us,” she conceded with a sigh. “Mad at...

Jade nodded sympathetically. "Yeah, I... feel like I probably wouldn't like being in the spotlight." A lot of people were dying to be champion, but it wasn't for her. "I'm glad that there's good things about it, though." Jade blinked at Gen, utterly perplexed. "'Used to be human'? What...

Jade glanced at Wallace. "I... know what it's like to end up in a life that you didn't expect," she admitted, shuffling her foot in the damp earth. "Do you... like being champion?" Jade stared at the Oshawott. "That's so weird..." she muttered. "If someone had taken you away, why would they...

"'Just woke up there'?" Jade echoed blankly. "You mean like... kidnapped?" He was a Pokemon that could speak human, and that wasn't normal even in his world. Maybe some shady people had taken an interest in that. But then how would he have gotten free?

Jade relaxed slightly. "Ohh, okay." Yeah, that made sense. Flying all the way back to Johto from Hoenn sounded like a real pain. And taking a ferry that far was pretty expensive. "So I guess you... weren't Coleane's starter then, if you're from Johto?" Jade asked, puzzled. There went her...

Jade blinked at him. "Whoa, what? You, uh... you definitely don't need to battle if you don't want to, you know that right?" Was he... captured without his consent? But that would go against the pact, and... Coleane sure didn't seem like the kind of trainer who'd hold a Pokemon against their...

Jade chuckled weakly. "Well, I guess my team's pretty special. I wouldn't have gotten anywhere without them, really." Jade paused, unsure how to take that. She'd been a bit exasperated at Nine for being insensitive when they first met Gen, but if compliments also made him uncomfortable, she...

Jade tilted her head at the Oshawott. "Well, you can speak human--I think that makes you pretty special, you and Coleane both. But I guess she's aiming to be a champion, and she's a Pokémon who's a trainer, so it's not hard to see why she'd be invited here." A Pokemon with a surname was sort of...
