"We will!" Rocky said with fiery determination, his energy flames flaring and hissing tall. "I'm glad you made me think of it!" Good fucking riddance, Nate thought to himself. Not that there weren't a couple who were tolerable enough. Maybe even kind of okay. But mostly he just wanted to get...

"Oh, wow, that does sound like fun," Rocky said, smiling wistfully. "You're right about battling on a team. And against so many crazy enemies! I mean, we got to fight inside the Tree of Life, and even go to the moon. But the quiet stuff is fun, too. I don't think we've ever played a game as a...

"It's cruel," Nate said bluntly. "Making folks think they gotta leave people behind forever, then teasing them with another chance to see each other, and who knows if it'll happen again... that's just shitty." "Sorry," Rocky said, his ears drooping. "I shouldn't have brought it up. Of course...

"You gotta hope," Nate said. "I guess it worked out. Twice? But I dunno." He sighed. So the other team had never figured that one out, either. Figured. Still seemed weird how that Diyem hadn't managed to scoop up any humans, but there were plenty on Team Spectrum. "Is it strange, though?" Rocky...

"Ooh." Rocky's eyes glowed bright. "It's definitely maybe, then! You never know!" Rocky was clearly rooting for the "turning into Xerneas" possibility. "Damn, yeah, I bet it's strange," Nate said with a laugh. "Dunno what I'd even do if I heard there was a world out there where pokémon shove...

Rocky listened avidly. He always loved hearing about new places, especially if they were on completely different planets. "That's really cool! I guess legendaries can kind of give powers to people here, too, but it sounds like it's a lot more common where you live!" He gave Lucius a curious...

"Oh, shields! Radiance is good for that," Rocky said, nodding sagely. "Dave on our team uses Radiance for shields, too!" He was desperately curious about Lucius' Shadow powers, of course, but Marshtomp was sure to get mad at him if he asked. "But that sounds so weird, going and doing all those...

"It's Nate," Nate said. He wondered briefly how the translation between the two Diyems worked and if the lopunny was just hearing him make some weird noise instead of a proper name. But the lopunny's name sounded normal enough, so hopefully not. "And I'm Rocky!" the familiar chirped from behind...

Nate still wasn't up for any long walks. Ever since all the moon shit, even just being out in the sun was enough to give him a headache sometimes. Being fucking sick all the time wasn't something he missed from being human, but at least he knew this bullshit would go away eventually now that he...

"Oh... right." Rocky's ears drooped at the thought of the spies. They were making Mudkip all paranoid and even less fun than usual. And now they were going to make it so they had to wait to team up with Soda? Mudkip was right about one thing, at least, and that was that Giovanni ruined...

"Y-yeah!" Rocky said, flames flickering nervously. He didn't actually want to punch Arceus. But if Arceus was being mean to Cola... Well, Rocky would talk to him about it. Probably he just didn't understand how afraid Cola was of him. And Mudkip could be as mad about it as he wanted. At least...

"Yeah!" Rocky said. "Even if we're not real pokémon, we can still get stronger. And Cola's going to be a god some day. All we need to do is make sure he stays safe until then!" Puddle's suggestions sounded great, too. "Teams are better," Rocky said with authority. "They can have secret code...

"That's right! If we all get strong--if we all get strong together, they won't be able to make us go back! And there's a lot more of us than them. We can win against them, easy." Puddle was all fired up, but Cola looked afraid. Rocky leaned forward and gave him an encouraging smile. "There's...

"I don't think so," Rocky said. "He said he'd think about it later. But if he needs to absorb us to go back to full strength... If he feels like he's missing pieces... I don't know. Maybe he won't do anything. At least not for a long time. But I bet he wants to."

Rocky winced, then turned away, his ears drooping. "No! I mean, no, if you don't want to... He can't make you. He shouldn't make you! You're your own person, not just a part of him." He scuffed at the ground, not meeting Cola's red circles. "I was with Joule earlier, and it turns out that shades...

"And he's super cool! That's why!" Rocky wished he could do illusions like that. Even his model wasn't that good at them. "Where'd you go? Have you ever gotten to leave Destiny Village?" Besides to go to the Tree of Life... Rocky had only heard a little bit about what happened there, but it...

"Well, that kind of makes sense," Rocky said. "If I was a god, I wouldn't want people bothering me all the time to come and fix their problems! But it would still be better to help sometimes. If people are going to do something really dumb, you don't want to just sit around and let it happen...

"Yeah! I'm going to be a hero, too! I want to join the God Squad and help them fight evil all over the place! We should all be--we should all be, heroes... together..." Rocky faltered, glancing out at Destiny Village and rubbing at one shoulder. "What do you mean Pop doesn't help people as much...

"Being strong and fighting is good, too!" Rocky said. "If you were a god, you could have all the most epic battles. Kind of like the ones we've been having, actually. Except even bigger!"

Rocky giggled at Puddle's description of Arceus. "Pop says a lot of funny things. But it's even funnier when Mudkip tries to talk the same way." Cola's answer gave him pause, though. "Really?" Rocky had been expecting something a bit more exciting than that! "But there's so much you can do if...
