As Andy walked outside, Penalopy made herself visible but she kept low to keep herself hidden from human eyes. "Well, yes, he hasn't been good, but was he officially banned from our ranks by Arceus? Because if Arceus didn't Darkai can still enter StarFall. And Arceus can only ban Pokémon if there is evidence his rules were broken. Darkrai is cunning, he'll know how to cover the tracks that lead to him, so while we suspect he is behind a lot, there are things we can't prove, can we? And torturing a human, as sad as it is, is for several of our family not really important, that doesn't break any rules, because humans torture Pokémon too, according to them."

Michael listened to Frosiien and Penalopy. He had felt better when Frosiien listed all the reasons why Darkrai wouldn't be welcome, but that feeling soon dissolved when Penalopy countered with her question and remarks. He hoped Darkrai was banned, but if the others still saw him as a legendary Pokémon too, he might not be.

Mindy entered the common room and noticed the large group of humans and Pokémon, recognising most of them. She walked over, quickly waved at Gavin and went to where Niccia and Michael were. 
"This probably isn't the best location to be gathering," she said. "Soon we'll see more trainers entering and leaving this place and a group this big draws attention to itself."
