Starr threw an arm around Brisa’s shoulder. “Last chance to show what we’re made of—that thing won’t know what hit it.”

Starr closed her eyes contentedly. "Oh, I know you can, but whether you will is a whole other thing. I've gotta be there to be the bad influence, you know."

Starr closed her eyes with a bit of a smirk. She grabbed Brisa's paw and said. "You better. Otherwise, I don't know, I'd probably have figure out how to come check on you, and whose ass I'd need to kick to make things decent for you."

Starr eyed Sombra carefully. “That’s… good. That’s good. And look—if this was like something you’d had your heart set on or whatever, you don’t have to let me stop you, I just…” She trailed off, tail swishing in the sand. “I just want you to fucking like you.”

Starr dug her elbow into Brisa’s shoulder. “Funny, that’s not the way I remember it.” But it was good to think back on it as just some kind of fun detour before what they had now. So there was a chance Brisa might go for it, then. Become Zeraora. Live the life of a lonely guardian. “I'm...

Starr tilted her head back at Brisa. “Yeah? Well, I hope if you meet someone like me back home, they like you more than I did at first,” she said with a bit of a crooked grin.

“Well, I’m glad that works great for them. Good for them,” Starr replied, a little too gruffly. She rubbed her eyes, searching for the right words. “I just… you shouldn’t have to be someone else for people to like you.”

Starr nodded vaguely, eyes drifting out toward the ocean. "Right. Makes sense. I've always said you're better off leaving that shitty town." And that was still true, but... She glanced back at Brisa. "So you think you'd be happy like that? Being a legend."

Starr's brow furrowed. She put on a casual tone and replied, "Well yeah, I don't know who the hell deserves it if you don't." She paused again, mixed emotions swimming in her chest. "So you think you'd want to do it, then?" she asked, a bit quieter. "Ascend, I mean."

Starr shrugged. "Maybe I am, who's to say," she replied with a crooked smile. "Why--you want competition?" Nah, not her type. Was fun to see the look on Brisa's face, though. "Extremespeed, huh. Yeah, it's a good fit." Brisa had always been into doing quick strikes, always trying to push...

Starr shrugged. "Got to have a chat with Ben before the match. He seemed pretty nice, down to earth, a bit overwhelmed by all this stuff. Gotta say, never would've guessed the guy was a striker from the way he talked about his time on the team." She paused, smirking. "Now Aria on the hand...

Starr cracked one eye open and glanced at Brisa out of its corner. She'd been half-dozing in the warm sunlight. God, it felt good to finally have summer again. "Not gonna lie, it's nice to be done with that whole exhibition match and finally get to relax," she said, idly swishing her tail.

Starr met Aria's fist with her own and grinned. "Well then, I'll look forward to seeing you guys try." <><><><><>

Starr matched Aria's grin with her own. "Good. I'd have been pissed if I heard you guys were holding out on us. Bring on the weird bullshit, cause we're planning on winning." She was probably going to regret saying that but... whatever, they'd beaten a god on the fucking moon. Literally what...

Starr raised an eyebrow. "You think so?" But then she let out a snort. "Yeah, I bet if you and Brisa went drinking, you probably got to hear plenty about the way I do things. ...Not that anyone couldn't just head over to the colosseum if they wanted to know how my shit works," she added with...

Yet another way those two were similar. Wasn't hard to imagine that if Brisa had been called back to test the strength of her successors, that she'd be throwing herself back into the thick of things as soon as possible. "Yeah, Whiplash, that's the one—lets her 'speak from the heart' or...

Starr had to let out a snort. "Can't say I'm too surprised at that one. What with all the months she spent with a crush anyone could see from a mile off." She smirked. "And yeah, it's cute as hell." "You two got to have a fight, right? How'd that go?" Of course, she'd heard about it...

Starr gave an exaggerated shrug. "Well, I'm not gonna pretend like there haven't been a lot of perks to being a Pokemon, but if I could swap worlds at will, you better believe I'd be wanting my old body back when I was in my own world. I miss it." Not as often as she used to, though...

Starr gave a low, ironic chuckle. "Damn. Best of both worlds, huh. Well, aren't you two lucky." She folded her arms behind her head, staring up at the sky a bit wistfully. "So your partner didn't even have to give up on a human life." Man, wouldn't it be something to have both.

Starr met Aria's look with a crooked smile of her own. "Alright, I'd say that makes you more familiar with humans than the average person on Cibus, yeah." She let out a small laugh. "Actually, it's a bit of a relief--I swear half the team looks at you like you're from another planet if you...
