All riiiiight... looks like we're getting to choose who we bring to the final fight. I kind of get Weavile and Dark Matter's sentiments here, but I definitely think at minimum we need N with us. We know basically nothing about Ghetsis, and N knows the guy better than anyone... assuming Ghetsis has some involvement, I think we need him there.

Agreed! He seems quite determined to accompany us, I'm not sure we could actually stop N from accompanying us if we wanted. I have a feeling he'd just stow away on the plane :copyka:

The E4 can probably help us against any mooks or other obstacles that might appear in Kalos, but I doubt they'll be able to do anything against Xerneas. If we wanted to give them the slip, I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Might be a good idea once we get closer to Xerneas - I'm curious about whether Dark Matter's warning comes from him actually knowing something about what we're facing, or if he's just guessing. But with corruption from both Ghetsis as well as his own, I can very easily see having a bunch of easily corruptible vessels extra people around to be a bad thing.

Torn on whether to bring Millie. If she wants to come, I'm kiiiind of inclined to let her, but like, on its face, that is an insane idea. I don't imagine the final battle is going to be won primarily based on strength of arms, though, so if she wants to try to help, she might be an asset? Perhaps we should just ask her what's on her mind--see why she wants to come/whether she has anything in mind for how she might be able to help.

I'm down for seeing what's on her mind - it would be kind of a neat closure if we could bring the very character we met to our last fight! Though, I do worry about putting her in danger. I wouldn't put it past her to get possessed again if we're not careful.

I'm trying to think whether there's anyone else we'd want to bring along. Kind of wondering whether we should see if Marshtomp/Druddigon are able to join? It's dicey... obviously they might immediately start trying to kill us upon release, which would be unhelpful. But if Weavile could convince them to help, Xerneas' disciples seem like the people who'd be most likely to be able to deal with whatever Xerneas' whole deal proves to be.

Oooooh, this is a fantastic idea! We never did get to see much of the Prism Knights' internal dynamics, and it would be cool to see all three potentially be able to save Xerneas, assuming we still have their pokeballs on hand (have to go back and check what happened). With Dark Matter's corrupting influence out of sight, and with Weavile doing the talking, there's a chance we could make this happen :quag:

Aaaagh sorry about that Namo! I left a response so that you can get started on the next post. Regarding the other Prism Knights - I believe the last time we saw them was when N was carrying them away from the fight in the dungeon, but I'm not 100% sure...

If that's correct, then I assume that would make N the best person to know where they are and how to get in contact if needed, but I left it generic in case there's someone else better suited. Might be moot though if Weavile decides he doesn't want to risk them getting in danger, since after all, we proved that we're stronger than a certain particular Druddigon~

Put my commands in--sorry for the delay, Namo! Some quick replies to Mirage as well...

lol, this is a good point. Our ability to deter the guy with literal illusion abilities is pretty limited.

Though, I do worry about putting her in danger. I wouldn't put it past her to get possessed again if we're not careful.
Okay, but that would be kind of hilarious, though. :mewlulz:

I'm also curious about Dark Matter's motivations in warning us against bringing too many people. OOC I tend to believe it, but IC it certainly seems like he could be setting things up so we'll have fewer allies to help when he goes in for the backstab...
