Small talk was hard and coming up with mutual interests with a legendary Pokémon was equally difficult. Still, Michael tried. "And you have your guardian to keep you company as well, right?" He had always thought the life of a legendary Pokémon was lonely, but that was before he learned each had a Pokémon companion with them. "Which ones is yours?" he asked as he glanced over the many Guardians.

Bear plopped down on the ground. [i]"I have nothing to dooooooo,"[/i] he groaned. [i]"I thought this party would be exciting, with maybe some battles or games. But everyone is just talking..."[/i] He lay down and looked at the stars above. [i]My life-force is draining..."[/i]
[i]"Quit being so melodramatic,"[/i] Merlin scolded him when he landed next to him. [i]"This is the perfect opportunity to show off your intellectual skills and have a decent conversation with someone."[/i]
Bear huffed and gestured the Noctowl had to leave. [i]"Let me die in peace."[/i]

The Cyndaquil watched Bear being melodramatic about the boredom before turning his head to Bia. [i]"Rainbow Cyndaquil, yes. That's what I am. It's a mutation of sorts, I think. It's triggered by something external, but Andy believes it is in part genetic. That every Cyndaquil potentially can change, but many never trigger the change, because they don't know about it or don't want to. And he also thinks Ho-oh might have been involved with it, since rainbows are also his thing, but that has always been an unprovable theory."[/i]

Netherlu gently nodded and made an agreeing sound. "It depends on the human, probably. And Pokémon are the same; some are accepting of those who look different, others cast them out." He rose to his feet as he pushed the chair back. "But I'm going to eat, I am famished."

Nethan nodded slowly as he examined the new Mewtwo. "I see," he said and he faced Gavin once more. "And? Are you planning on staying in your human form and travel around, or do you want to go back to your spot?" 

"This pastry is amazing," Mindy commented as she ate, listening to Xanpher. "And that is really interesting."
She moved to take a second pastry, because why not? She walked through the country most of the days, she could handle a day of eating nothing but pastries if she wanted to. 

Andy walked with Frosiien towards Latias. "That may be true," he told her, "but I can't use anything they will tell me for my research without having any observational evidence to support it, because no-one will believe it without that."
As they walked he took a moment to see where his team was; Kim had brought some food to the Lapras and Onix of Mindy, Benny was flying around being a happy little Butterfree he always was, and Bear seemed to have given up on doing anything. Nothing new there.
