As the massive flying Pokemon flew into view, Odessa nearly dropped her weapon at the sight, but she faintly recognized the Pokemon: Shade, god of death and guardian of the Umbraisis family. What was something like him doing here? And more importantly, why was it talking to her?

The odd sensation she'd felt returned and Odessa somehow understood that the words were coming from the beast. She'd heard of Pokemon such as it talking to people with their minds, but it was uncanny actually experiencing it. The Yveltal's comment didn't do much to dissuade her defensive stance, but... did it just express worry over Blain? A god, worried about what a codger like Blain could do?

Odessa quickly stepped behind the Abomasnow to hide her smirk and gave him a pat on the back. "Hey, calm down. We'll be fine." The Abomasnow complied and lowered his hands, the inert ice shards dropping to the ground. The Yveltal spoke again.

So, she was correct. What did the Umbraisis family want with her, and what would warrant sending their guardian? She stepped out from behind the Abomasnow with a more serious face and spoke directly to Shade. 
"Shade, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Odessa Strauss, though I suspect you already knew that. What purpose would you have for being here? Does the Umbraisis family wish something from me?"
