[h3][color=f7941d]Brent Ignia[/color], [color=39b54a]Lily Meadows[/color], and [color=8dc73f]Michael Stint[/color][/h3][b][Route 701 - Pokemon Center][/b] [@Ninian] [@Light Lord] [color=f7941d]"Well, fire out or not, it's still kind of sad to think that such a beautiful area is going to be scarred for years now..."[/color] Said Brent. Lily was about to respond when she felt something on her shoulder. She turned her head and her eyes met the gaze of the small Grass Type she had saved the night before. [color=39b54a]"Shaymin!"[/color] She said in surprise. Shaymin gave a grin, then jumped up and began flying in circles around everyone, eventually landing in the middle of the table they group was situated at. [color=f49ac2]"That's right, after a good nights rest Shaymin is back to full health."[/color] Said Nurse Joy, standing nearby as she watched the group. [color=f7941d]"Well that's great that Shaymin is feeling alright now, right Lily?"[/color] Asked Brent, looking over to the green haired girl. She didn't respond though, she was deep in thought. [i][color=39b54a]"Shaymin... is it really true? I was looking for answers so badly last night I believed everything Brooks said, but I was starting to doubt it a little... then there was that dream... vision... whatever it was... it felt so real... so are we meant to be partners... is Viore really in big trouble... am I one of the only ones who can stop this..."[/color][/i] A slight nudge broke her concentration as she turned and looked at Brent. [color=39b54a]"...Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening... it is really great though that Shaymin is all better now."[/color] She said. [color=8dc73f]"So this is what Shaymin really looks like... I thought it was smaller... and couldn't fly..."[/color] Said Michael. [color=0072bc]"That Shaymin is pretty special, I'll tell you. Not because of its form, but how it retains that form, and its history in this area."[/color] Brooks entered from outside, Noivern padding along next to him. [color=39b54a]"History?"[/color] Asked Lily. [color=0072bc]"Right. It's a sad truth... but that Shaymin is possibly the last Shaymin in the Viore Region."[/color] The group gasped. [color=0072bc]"I said it was sad. When I first started my journey there was a whole colony of Shaymin living out in this forest. They had a beautiful Gracidea Garden out there, too. But Humans kept advancing more and more, the Shaymin began to live in fear that their home might be destroyed one day."[/color] The group held somewhat shocked and saddened faces as they listened to the sad tale. [color=0072bc]"One by one each of the Shaymin left. Until only one remained. This one was the leader of the colony, and held a very special item. The Eternal Gracidea. A very rare variant of the Gracidea Flower which allows Shaymin to stay in Sky Form in almost any circumstance."[/color] [color=39b54a]"So... you're the only Shaymin left... that's so sad..."[/color] Said Lily, looking over to Shaymin as she even seemed saddened by the retelling of a story she knew and experienced herself. [color=0072bc]"Now Shaymin doesn't even have the Garden to go back to anymore though... those Royal Skies goons blew the place apart in a battle against her... I laid my own eyes on it, I don't think one flower survived..."[/color] He said sorrowfully. [color=f49ac2]"If that's the case, and without a new colony to rebuild the garden..."[/color] Shaymin had heard enough, and took to the air, planting herself back on Lily's shoulder. [color=00a651][/color] She said, yet Lily couldn't understand her this time. [color=f49ac2]"It seems Shaymin really took a shine to you, Lily. Maybe it would be for the best if she stayed with you for now, until she can find a new colony to join."[/color] Said Nurse Joy. Lily returned to her thoughts for a moment. [i][color=39b54a]"It's like I was told... we've already bonded, deeper than either of us know... right, I know what to do now."[/color][/i] She turned. [color=39b54a]"If Shaymin's alright with it, I'm alright with it. What do you say, Shaymin? Wanna travel along with us?"[/color] She asked. [color=00a651][/color] She said, with several gestures in return. [color=39b54a]"I guess that's settled then!"[/color] Said Lily. Brent turned to Brooks. [color=f7941d]"Hey Brooks, you happen to see Devon this morning? I was woken up by my partner down there and Devon wasn't here."[/color] He said. Brooks nodded. [color=0072bc]"Yeah, he and that Zoroark of his went out to the forest early this morning, might have gone Pokemon Hunting."[/color] He said, taking a seat nearby. [h3][color=0076a3]Bryce Crest[/color][/h3][b][Route 701 - Pokemon Center][/b] Maya nodded at the response. [color=f26522][/color] She said. Striker watched from afar. [color=fff200][/color] He said quietly to himself. Luckily Moss was no longer out and had been returned to her Pokeball for the moment, she would no doubt ruin the moment completely.
