    "I have," Shield said, nodding. Karat gave Shield an odd look, wondering what they were talking about. "But I haven't seen him around lately. It was only when we'd fought each other..." "Shadowy Charizard? How many of those things are there?" Karat said with a growl. "It was this... gigantic...

    "I'm... not sure," Karat said. "It feels like something I should be able to undo. Which makes me think that the force keeping it sealed is related to that same energy nullification as before." He paused. "But that begs the question... why is Shield only sealed, and not dead?" Shield's...

    Shield shook his head. "I don't really know any more than you do at this point," he said. "We knew he was gathering Legends and we know about what he was trying to develop, but not really anything else." "I tried to look into his psychic block," Karat added, "but whatever it is, it's strong...

    "I showed up in some random field in the Water Continent," Shield said. "From there, we traveled the continents trying to track down Giovanni and Dark Matter. That's... all I really know." "And by we," Karat said, "he means Silver's team, and Team Drumstick. He couldn't bear to face his...

    "We can always check out the more peaceful Dungeons that have been turning up," said Karat. "Shaymin Village has Sky Peak, which can be very safe overall... the Dungeon was highly segmented. We can always look at only the first one." "The Lush Prairie might also be a peaceful place that was...

    Deoxys twitched in what might have been a nod. "We'll be there. Two Psychics to help you stay sane if possible." Karat nodded, then looked at Shield. "And of course, the one most likely to get through to Sword. With any luck, we'll be able to get something out of this." Shield sighed and...

    "She was a bit of a prankster," Shield said with a hint of fondness, "but she didn't have ethereal presence, if that's what you mean. She was... just a Charmander. Sword... what happened to you...?" "You might have to accept that she's too far gone," Karat said. "It's not certain, but I want...

    "Every time people look, she disappears. But I can still sense her. It's so strong, I--But I can still 'see' her. She's toying with me, I know it, she--" His voice hitched and he pointed ahead. Karat and Deoxys both turned their heads. Nothing was there... but then, something made a buzzing...

    "Charmander," Shield said immediately. "I'd recognize that flame anywhere." And that meant they both happened to see a Charmander. Two Charmander, in Nate's case, but perhaps that was some Mew trickery again? "It was Sword," he said firmly, and his expression had suddenly become serious...

    "At the same time that you guys reported that Soda had seen Sword, or that you guys all saw her," Shield explained, "I... was chasing her around in the pine forest. I practically grabbed Mellow before I realized that wasn't Sword, but I know I sensed Sword's aura. How was she in both places at...

    "Sword..." The Lucario seemed distracted again, lost in thought. "It's not a strong chance, but perhaps between the three of us, we would be strong enough to investigate," Karat said. "Even with the energy nullification, we're still strong enough to escape. With the right preparation, at least...

    Shield's and Karat's expressions both darkened. "That Mewtwo is there?" Karat asked. "Sword... But--but I just saw her wandering the Guild. Nobody else sees her..." "She's probably just messing with you," Karat said. "Or maybe you're losing it." Shield glanced over the book he'd been...

    "ɿɘɟɟɘd ϱnilɘɘʇ m'I." Deoxys nodded. "Other langnuage, D," Karat said. He twitched a little, then nodded. "I'm feeling better. ...Thank you for saving me. I don't know anything." "Not everything is a business meeting, you know," Shield said, smiling a little. "...We're just winding down after...

    By a stroke of luck, he was. "Yeah, I'm here," the Lucario called back. "Why is he still a Mudkip?" asked another voice. "I thought most of them started to evolve at around the same time..." It sounded like Karat. That tingling feeling in the air was probably another indicator... Deoxys, in...

    Truffle again said nothing, but after what he'd wished had lasted longer, he finally relented and let her go. What Luz saw then was the Decidueye with that energetic, powerful mask completely gone. His eyes were tired but still had light in them. His feathers had been frazzled and ruffled from...

    Truffle made a sound, somewhere between a gasp and a startled squawk, but it was a soft one. He held his wings out, like he didn't know what to do, and froze there. Finally, he brought his wings down and around Luz, his feathers nearly completely covering her. The ultimate shield, too, said...

    Truffle looked almost bewildered at that, staring at Luz like he'd seen someone else for just a moment. "I... I see," he said slowly, looking down. "You would, hm... Well. Thank you, Luz. That's... I'm not really sure how that should make me feel to hear." Truffle adjusted his feathers. "But...

    "I think that is what Arceus is trying to figure out now," Truffle said. "I just hope that he doesn't become fixated on that idea when facing such a daunting task. Such as, well, the world ending, and all... Hm. It's a bit awkward when you're the creator of the place... Down with one's ship, hm?"

    "Of course..." Truffle sighed, nodding. "Yes. I suppose we both have that to consider of ourselves. In fact, I do believe we have that to consider with... our worth as protectors and fighters weighed against others. Perhaps I should have a talk with Arceus about that, too." Truffle sighed. "I...

    "I sought them out to search for... something dangerous," Truffle admitted. "But I said aloud that it was for the sake of saving others, so they perhaps would not have to fall into such despair as to suffer a fate similar. My powers... manifested strongly as one of protection and guardianship. I...
