Diana indulged in a smile at prince Hemlock's praise. It was the best option they had, anyway. She was still hesitant about rushing in so soon, but the prince had a point; they could very easily lose sight of where prince Teal was if they took too long. Having such...intimate knowledge of his whereabouts should not go to waste. If only they had more time...then perhaps she might feel a bit safer about all this. [color=ff69b4]"Of course, milord. Time is on our side right now,"[/color] she said, glancing at Celebi. [color=ff69b4]"We should take advantage of it while we can."[/color] Diana wasn't sure how reliable that Celebi would be in terms of helping them achieve their goal. Of course, they'd gotten this far, but how long until the Kantonians catch on to their game? Surely they would question how they were found so quickly. Then again, Diana doubted that they would assume time travel was being used against them.

Diana nodded as prince Hemlock gave his orders, deciding that his plan seemed as sound as could be, given the situation. Staying hidden above the cloud-line would be a good idea, given that his Aerodactyl wasn't exactly...common around these parts. It wasn't common around any parts, come to think of it. The sight of such a beast might not work in their favor; best keep it hidden until it was necessary. Taking the Ho-Oh mask from one of the soldiers, Diana momentarily studied it, admiring the legendary Pokemon's visage. She decided the mask quite suited her, before approaching one of the four Pidgeottos they would be using. Diana gently stroked the Pokemon's neck, before climbing on top of it. The Pidgeotto let out a caw, adjusting to carrying her weight, before spreading out its wings in preparation for flight. Once the group of Johtoans took off, they all fell into a line, with Diana flying to the prince's right. As the wind zipped by her ears, Diana found it a bit difficult to make out his words, but she could understand him clearly enough.

His kind words sent a shiver up her spine. His belief in her...once again, she smiled. Was it the recognition? She wasn't sure. [color=ff69b4]"Thank you, milord. Your praise means much to me."[/color] As they soared above the open ocean, Diana wondered just why prince Hemlock would risk so much by coming with them. Thankfully, he explained it to her; she supposed that his reasoning made enough sense. After all, this mission could very easily go wrong for them; in fact, Diana half-expected it to. But if prince Hemlock could just catch a glimpse of prince Teal, it would serve them greatly. It would confirm that Celebi was capable of acting almost as reconnaissance for them, which would cement the Pokemon as a key part of their strategy. They would also be able to gain information about his allies, as they didn't know much about them just yet. And given that Kantonians don't have Apriballs, they would also figure out what Pokemon they could expect to run into in the future, if they did indeed fail. Diana nodded again as prince Hemlock elaborated on his plans, deciding that even if they did fail, this would be well worth it to them.
