"Well, are you okay with us doing it or not?" Cabot asked. "I know I can tell Truffle, and I do think it's the smartest thing to do, but that doesn't mean I should do it. After all, I'd be telling him who you are, so I don't wanna make that decision for you."

"H-Hey, I didn't say that, and I don't think anyone else is thinking that either," Cabot said, worried he might have upset Diyem. "I mean, I think it's better to tell Maple and the others the truth and I do think it can work if we approach Truffle first and bring it up carefully, but I won't...

"Maybe Truffle?" Cabot asked. "He always seems very nice and patient, so I feel like if there's anyone who'd be willing to hear us out, it's him."

"Huh?" Cabot tilted his head and put a claw to his mouth. "But of course Arceus is good! I mean, it's Arceus we're talking about after all." The Cranidos tried giving Owen a reassuring smile. "I know not every world is the same and there are different Arceus out there, but he still created this...

Cabot gave Cynthian a look of sympathy and felt a knot form in his stomach. Cynthian was someone who he considered a friend, so seeing him this distressed felt... heartbreaking, to say the least. The idea of Dark Matter had always felt distant to him, but to Cynthian it was as real as any threat...

"Will do," Cabot said. The Cranidos watched as Owen made his way for the other side of the room, letting out a small sigh. He slowly turned around and got ready to leave, but not before looking over to Mellow. "I think we should give him some space." And with that, Cabot walked out of the room.

"It- It's okay..." Cabot replied. He hemmed and hawed a little as he thought about what to say next. Part of him was curious what Owen had remembered that could make him this upset, but he also had a feeling that forcing Owen to talk about all of it right here and now would just make him feel...

Cabot sat down next to Owen, still giving him a worried look. "Do you... wanna talk about it?"

"Wait, but if you got most of your memories back, isn't that a good thing?" Cabot asked.

Cabot looked down at Owen in concern, slowly moving his claw away from his ear. "Remember what...?"

"I-It's fine! He's not infected!" Cabot insisted. "He just used Radiance for the first time!"

Cabot recoiled and covered his earholes as Owen began to scream. Despite his small size, Owen sounded like he could beat an Exploud at a shouting contest right now. Cabot hesitantly moved towards Owen and put a claw on his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him, still covering one ear with his...

"Ah... Er..." Cabot stared at Owen with his mouth wide open, fumbling for words as he tried to think of what to say. "You look... different..."

Cabot was about to speak up about how Owen got his back broken in the past, when he noticed Charmander's scales briefly turned green. "Huh?! What was that?"

"Maybe you could- Hrm..." Cabot crossed his arms as he paused in thought. "What if you can somehow combine those last two things? Try to help someone out, even if it means getting injured? Like trying to shield someone during battle."

Cabot tilted his head, only able to hear Diyem's side of the conversation. "Oh? Are you trying to ask Diyem for one of those reminders? If so, maybe you can ask if he knows about any battles you've fought in the past?"

"Yeah, practice should definitely help!" Cabot said. He put his bag on the ground next to his bed and sat down, stretching a little. "It's kinda like learning a TM move, except you don't know what the move will be like exactly... or at least, it's like learning a TM move in my world. I guess in...

"Hmm, well, Diyem described seeing Radiance as a burning flame that's become part of our aura," Cabot mused "What I did was that I tried to visualize that and imagined drawing power from it. Maybe you can try to do the same?"

"Oh, hey there Owen!" Cabot entered the living quarters, giving the Charmander a friendly wave. "What are you up to?"

Cabot gave Nip a small smile. "Alright, let's go look for Owen first then." The Cranidos waved Astrid goodbye before leaving the dojo with Nip. All the while he couldn't help but imagine scenarios in his head where about he and his teammates took down powerful foes using their new strategy...
