Jolteon #3: Oh, Nix was her informal name, yes... But you really should use her title now.

Eevee #6: But her dad is called Coobert!

Espeon #1: You kids make up the weirdest names...

Jolteon #3: You are travelers then, yes?

Driftveil City, in Another Universe...

Concordia: -slips Rush a Nanab Berry, then approaches the stall again-

Jonas: I plead the fifth!

Tangent(?): I'm a private investigator, and we aren't in court anyways...

All I'm asking is to speak with N here... I have no interest in making him a paparazzi subject.

Jonas: It's not happening!

Concordia: -arrives at the group- Maybe it is...

Jonas: You just- you know that he-

Tangent(?): Oh!

Cuyahoga: <Who's she?>

Sam: <One of N's attendants...>

Concordia: I heard enough; now, do you think N would grow to be the king he is destined to be if he lacks knowledge of the outside world? We can let this man talk to him; it will be a good break of routine. Of course, he'll have to answer any questions of N's...

Tangent(?): -glances quickly at "Petilil"-

"Petilil": -smiles- If he actually asks about me, I think we'd be far enough from that man to tell someone.

Tangent(?): -bows slightly- Thank you very much.

Jonas: But- can you trust him with the location of-

Concordia: OK, there may be one more condition...

Aisle

Blenda: <Do we take them out?>

Purrloin: <I don't think we're enough... and this isn't even the home base, there are reinforcements coming in every morning!>

Blenda: <Fiends!>

Roxy: <It's... shocking, perhaps, but are they actually enemies?>

-gets stared at by Blenda and the Purrloin-

Blenda: -to the Purrloin- <She's always been a bit of a Pollyanna.>

Espeon #1: There's a tenacious schoolyard rumor that the previous Lord Ho-Oh was named that, yes. Not sure where they get it from, but it has persisted through as many litters as I can remember...

Eevee #6: That's his name! grin

Jolteon #3: I'm not familiar with your kind... do you need a place to stay the night?

Driftveil City, in Another Universe...

Concordia: Oh, you are with each other? Well, I was just telling your friend that I am willing to take him to N.

Jonas: Against my judgement.

Tangent(?): But...?

Concordia: Well, as a precaution, you'll need to be knocked out for the duration of the transport.

Aside, Potential Future Should an Attack on the Stand be Performed

Market: -is lit up like a disco by lasers-

Man #479: MY EYE!

Tangent(?): -has to pay for the damages, and loses the chance to meet N in the confusion-

Grings Kodai: -takes over the world?-

Mr. Sukizo: -goes insane and tries to collapse the multiverse with drugs-

Aside, Present

Roxy: -shudders-

<Say... instead of being hasty, have you ever heard of "know thy enemy?">

Blenda and Purrloin: ?

She will lead you to a guesthouse. -gestures to a Vaporeon-

Blenda: <What, are we supposed to raise these as our own cubs or something?>

Roxy: <Well... yes.>

Aisle Town - Lodge Nearest to Square

-Through the walls of the tent-

<??? #1: "Hey! That's my- *hic* Foot you stepped on, jerk!">

<??? #2: "Yeah? What are you- *hic* Gonna do ab- About it?">

<"Ugh... I knew that we should have checked into a different lodge...">

WHAM!

<??? #2: "You call that a punch? Dish is a... Is a pu- Ur-HUUURGH!">

<??? #3: "Ew!">

<??? #4: "You just ruined my drink, you stupid jerks!">

<Cantina!Krookodile: "HEY! Take your business outside!">

-The sound of appendages cracking-

<??? #4: "Gladly.">

-Is quickly followed by the sounds of movement and a scuffle-

<"Note to self... Find non-Merle method of getting food and lodging tomorrow.

(*sigh*) I wonder what else's going out in this crazy multiverse?">

Otherverse - Oblivia - Sophian Island

-A figure is standing on the balcony of a secluded Villa-

???: "Hmm... So he's apparently gone... A shame..."

-... I've got to admit... I've never really seen the world in quite the same light ever since that fateful day that we clashed... Before then... Everything was a black and white matter... People simply weren't meant to be around Pokemon... Not if it meant keeping them cooped up in some plastic and metal ball, letting them out only whenever it was convenient for the trainer...-

-A nearby space flickers... And the form of a Zoroark takes its place-

<Zoroark: "... Something on your mind?">

"???: "Oh... Just found out some news regarding an old friend..."

-And how could a relationship between a human and a Pokemon possibly be symbiotic? Or at least a normal human and a Pokemon... I myself can only gather an approximation of what their voices say... And most trainers could never hope to hear anything but their names from their voices-

-Leafing through magazine-

<Zoroark: "... What happened to him?">

???: "He's vanished, apparently..."

-And humans used them... Like tools. A way to make spare money, to show off, they weren't companions, they were trophies. To be paraded around... And if humans didn't like them, well... The mons with me are a testament to what happens then...-

<Archeops: "Who's vanished?">

<Carracosta: "Something happen to one of the guys who keeps in touch with us?">

-They become hurt. Lonely. Desperate for any sort of approval or sign of love... Who could possibly claim that relationship could be anything but built on lies and worth tearing down?-

<Zoroark: "Not quite... It's about that kid that we wound up fighting with...">

<Carracosta: "... Oh.">

<Vanilluxe: "What's going on out here?">

<Klinklang: "Yeah, you could have told us that there was a party going on out here!">

-One of the things that had really made me ill after learning about what my father had truly meant for Team Plasma was that even we, the ones who were to put an end to this travesty of a tradition couldn't escape it... Those mons we 'liberated'? Half of them wound up simply changing hands to us. Taking orders from trainers who were specifically instructed not to form lasting bonds with them, lest they and their mons be deluded into some sort of false happiness, and others were simply sent to work to build some overwrought palace. I once overlooked such things as a matter of being temporary, but necessary evils...-

???: "Well... Considering what time it is, I suppose that it's just as good that you're all here..."

<Vanilluxe: "... She's coming again?">

<Zoroark: "No, the tooth fairy is. Of course she's coming again!">

<Vanilluxe: "Remind me why I don't sit these out?">

<Klinklang: "Yeah, same here...">

<Carracosta: "Because it's a god and you should be honored to be able to meet her this regularly?">

<Klinklang: "Well gee, if I was told that I got to visit a divine furnace every week, that wouldn't exactly be reassuring!">

-I guess what Alder said was true... You really can't have Truth without Ideals balancing them... For the longest time, I couldn't understand what drove my counterpart to stand in my way. He couldn't understand his mons... What hope could he have had of forming a genuine bond with them? For every attempt that I made to lay the falsehood of his bond with those mons that accompanied him bare... They strengthened... And I couldn't understand it for the life of me... Most of them hailed from the shrine that was erected in honor of Reshiram and Zekrom... How could they have been happy with a human being who stood between them and that?-

-An orange glow can be see from afar-

<Zoroark: "She's here.">

<???: "RAAAAAAAAAAGH!">

<Vanilluxe: "Ulp.">

<Klinklang: "Meep! Why can't she ever do simple entrances?!">

<Archeops: "Oh quiet, you!">

-... And... The more that I thought about it... The more I realized... He had a bond with his mons that was beyond that of the one that I had at the time with the mons with me... He wasn't worried about imposing upon his mons or setting them up for false hopes... He was worried about them when they were upset... When they were hurt... Heck, I almost didn't get a chance to say goodbye to him before I left because of his concern for his Dragonite after my father's Hydreigon wounded it in battle.

And... He seemed to share so many things with them... When they were happy, he was happy. When they were concerned or fearful, he attempted to reassure them... When they were despondent, he tried to lift their spirits... And they did the same for him-

-Coming to a rest before the gathered group-

<Reshiram: "Have you all been doing well?">

???: "We have been..."

-To the Zoroark in the group-

<Reshiram: "... 'We'? What does he mean by that?">

-I still don't agree with many of the things that he stands for... And I still don't really understand how it is that people like him are able to cultivate such bonds with their Pokemon...-

<Zoroark: "... Something big's come up...">

-... But it's there. And it's real... And I can respect that-
