"I will," said Saltriv. <><><><><><><>

"Ok!" Saltriv said, before a set of two vines wrapped around Dave in a hug. "Thanks, Dave," they said, smiling.

Saltriv flinched, taking a step back from Dave. "I...can't bring him home. I d-don't have any powers like that. And...humans don't leave until they do whatever they're summoned for. ...I can't do anything about that." They hesitated, then added, "...I don't think he's much older than me, maybe...

"...I'm certain," Saltriv said, swaying their leaf to the side, before frowning. "When I talked to him at Spirit's Edge...he said that he didn't want to be a hero, and that he just wanted to go home. I don't think he'd be pretending to be human if he didn't want to be a hero." "And...I met him...

"Oh..." Saltriv said, their leaf beginning to droop. "...there've been some Pokemon pretending to be heroes in my world as well, though not all of them are kids. Pokemon trying to convince others that they're amnesiac humans, but every one of them was faking it for fame, fortune, or some other...

"Yep, it's almost exactly like it! Hope helped save the world, and a lot of the legendaries help other Pokemon!" they explained, before swaying their leaf to the side and tilting their head. "What's your world like? Is it a lot different from that?"

Their petals tensed up slightly. "Hey, I'm old enough! I'm fifteen! I'm as old as my uncle and his partner when they became heroes!" they said, before relaxing. "I'm not worried about being old enough. It's...something else." They paused, then continued, "It's...almost exactly like Cibus. All...

"...when I visited him in Spirit's Edge, Gen told me he was a human. And we woke up in the same place when he first came to my world, so we're going to have to save the world together," Saltriv said, looking down. "I know that the other heroes are going to try to help...but it's ultimately going...

"It's a bit similar, I think. They can't feel any emotions except for empathy and negative emotions, and...they go berserk if they get overwhelmed," Saltriv answered. "Me, Burhalla, and Gen already purified one, but..."

"I don't really know. There's Pokemon disappearing and turning up as Shadow Pokemon, but nobody know's who or what's causing that," they said, their petals beginning to droop as well. "I...just know that I'm going to need to save the world."

"I'm...worried about going back home," Saltriv said, their leaf drooping. "I learned a couple weeks ago that I'm probably going to need to help save it once I'm back, and...I'm worried I won't be a good enough hero."

"Hi Dave!" Saltriv said, waving their leaf. "Can we talk?"

Saltriv walked down the road towards their home in this world, their mind awash with many thoughts. A substantial few of which revolved around their visit to Spirit's Edge, even though it's been weeks since then. Those worries and doubts continued to eat at them, and it was getting to be...
