Well, the others are pretty much talking about stuff, and we're still in that room, with DS having noticed that the door is locked. Here is what DS last said to Jane.

— Uh... *pets Lake down the shoulder* can't quite imagine a drunken Palkia. But from what you say had to be pretty weird. Did he by any chance, like, removed one nof the planets in the solar system?

(Notices that Human!Latias has come in)

— ...Hey! Finally a good day *except I can't find Dintel yet* Sorry, Tagg, interesting story so far but... *removes recorder*

(To Lake)

— Good Feraligator. *pets a last time on the muzzle* Guess we may see each other again, eh? Keep being cute.

(To Latias)

— Hey, uh... how do I call you...? Latias? Mind if we could talk a bit?

So... you think I don't appreciate you?

... I guess you're right. I don't notice the achievements you make to the group. I don't know why though. It's sort of like I just... can't see you for some reason.

And if you respond with snark again I swear I am going to punch you in the teeth. I'm feeling very emotional and I'm being as open as possible and I don't need you to immediately throw me down. Because that's what I feel you've been doing so far.

I mean, I say that I'm annoyed by your insecurities, and you immediately brush me off and say that that's not an issue anymore. Don't you understand how that could hurt me? If I'm trying to be honest and you just brush me off like that... that just makes me mad.

She, Silent.

-Lake blushes.-

Yes, Palkia's a she, actually. And as far as I know, she hasn't ever gotten rid of any of the planets. Why would she do that, anyway?

I said I was sorry about that. I really didn't mean to hurt your feelings earlier.

- Pats Jane on the shoulder -

Anyways... So, what do we do, then? Where do we go from here?

— ... Oh, right... *blushes, hopes Latias doesn't see that*

— Ahem... dunno. It's just, the last seminars I managed to attend a couple of years ago had some people nitpicking over space stuff...

I don't know. I just wanna get out of here. I don't think we actually came to a conclusion to this issue yet.

-sigh-

I'm sorry. I just... hold grudges a lot. I'm not quick to forgive. Ever.

It's okay, Jane. We all have our flaws.

And yeah, we haven't really come to any conclusion, but... at least we've talked about it, that's a start.

- Looks over at the door -

Yeah, I'd like to get out of this room too, but the door appears to be locked. Any idea how we can unlock it?

I could punch it.

Hmm... That is one option...

- Thinks for a moment -

... Or maybe we could have a psychic type force the lock open?

Yeah! That's a good idea. But which one should we use? I've got Josie, Gallade and Portales on my belt.

Mom wants me to go again. Bleh.

And I've got Velvet and Ribbons with me. Maybe Gallade or Velvet would be the best choice?

-The iPhokex starts playing Working Together-

That's weird.

Present:

— Wait... I think I remember our astronomy equipment going haywire a few weeks ago, given readings like that... I dismissed it as sunspots at the time, though.

Past:

Bark-Stripe: <Under the circumstances, I suppose I can forgive the failure of ceremonial preparation; Iron Marrow is the only one who might even begin to know the lore for properly inducting fiends onto the Spirit Watch.>

<Nonetheless, leaving fiends, even inducted, to guard a clan without any oversight? They have absolutely no training in proper procedure for the role. And if they had proved less civilized than their human vouched for, your skull would be worn by your children tonight.>

<As is, you are on suspension for the rest of the month.>

-to Tracer-

Rising Star: <Oh! We still have to discuss the judgments on you and Kat. I know they were a bit... odd from your perspective, but still... lore is lore.>

Yeah, we've decided that the next celebration we have will be a more private affair. So after that, we split up. Gamer and I went to go do a dual challenge of the Elite Four, Jane, Anom, and Crewe went to go challenge Gyms, and DS, Luke, Wolf, and Slouch went to explore the Relic Castle.

You thought our planet being displaced from it's orbit was sunspots? Seriously?!

...Actually, I'm surprised more people didn't notice that happening. In fact, even though we've done all these things, we haven't attracted much attention. Even when we had Legendary Pokémon with us.

-Present day-

-Enters stadium and after a short while, runs into Tagg-

-A few days ago-

<Nadia: "I'm going to pretend that I didn't just hear that 'fiend' comment...">

<Red Patrol Captain: "Y-Yes, Elder...">

<Nadia: "Serves that spineless jerk right.">

<Vlad: "Hey!">

<Nadia: "Not literally, Vlad...">

<Vlad: "Ah. But wasn't he just trying to keep the rest of his guards safe?">

<Nadia: "Sure had a rather cynical way of going about it...">

"... So... How was it that I was supposed to fulfill my obligations again?"

<Kat: "Oh the rest of the tribe's just going to love this when they hear about it...">

On the way to the Pokemon League, Gamer and I ran into some...difficulties.

...Difficulties?

Lake: <What sort of difficulties?>

You see, Palkia hadn't completely recovered from her hangover, and we had to go through a real life version of Super Mario Bros.

...

Lake: <...>

...Must have been some hangover.

Overalls are actually a lot more comfortable than they look.
