Michael crouched down and rubbed the sad Pokémon's head. "Well, I'm happy to have met you," he said. "I'm Michael, what is your name?" Arceus probably had a reason for keeping this one hidden from the rest, but it was hard to guess why. And he wouldn't let the poor thing be sad if he could do something about it. Diel turned around when she felt a tap on her shoulder and spread her wings when she recognised Bia. [i]"Oh hello,"[/i] she said and then had a look at the Cyndaquil who was introduced to her. [i]"Oh, a Cyndaquil. Lovely."[/i] She put a wing on his head when Bia mentioned how worried he was about meeting Ho-oh. [i]"Don't worry little one, Ho-oh has a soft spot for the fire-types that are native to his region. He'd love to meet you."[/i] Lytse felt a bit better now. Bia was kind to him and so was Diel. And if Ho-oh's guardian was gentle, maybe Ho-oh would be too. But he still didn't feel comfortable meeting a legendary Pokémon. [i]"And how have you been, Bia?"[/i] Diel said as she turned to her. She had arrived late with Netherlu and was still catching up with everyone. [i]"Yeah!"[/i] Bear said as he pushed his fist in the air. [i]"We want a fighting rock!"[/i] He had no idea what it was, but it sounded fun. And Nethan put his hand on Gavin's shoulder. "And you will never understand them if you don't travel with them. You can always go back to your cave, of course. Far away from the complex and sometimes confusing humans. I try not to get involved with them myself. But if you want to understand them, you'll have to be around them." He glanced to where Mindy was. "And I can talk to her if you want. I have no qualms about hurting any feelings she may have." Mindy took Xapher's hand. "I'd love to meet the Lake Trio," she told him. How exciting was this? She glanced around to see where everyone was and once her Pokémon were accounted for she tried locating all the trainers she had stayed with. Michael and Niccia were together (no surprise there), Andy was with Frosiien (two of the same family in love with a human-looking legendary Pokémon, what were the odds?) and Gavin was catching up with someone too. Good, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. "Let's go," she told Xapher. Illios nodded and allowed his sister to guide him along. It was a great idea and really something father should have thought about himself. Hadn't he created them all? "No," Andy answered the question about meeting Suicune before. "My nephew has, I believe, but I hadn't had the honour yet." He observed what was going on with Bear for a moment; his Primeape seemed enthusiastic about something. And there were only a few things he got that enthusiastic about. He noticed Benny flying towards him. Good, his Butterfree always kept an eye on Bear, and had some moves to easily incapacitate him when needed.
