Eros watched Niccia carefully before he looked to Michael as he spoke, following his gaze to the 'replacements' before he winced as Michael turned back to him. [i]"I didn't mean to upset her."[/i] He said as the tips of the white horns on his head glistened slightly. [i]"I thought she would have told you."[/i] He shuffled awkwardly on the spot before he sat down and lifted a hoof up like it was hurt. [i]"Father Banished her for a different reason he banished Darkrai."[/i] He watched Niccia wince at the name and he lowered himself to the ground slightly. [i]"I'm sorry. Coming out and talking to you wasn't a good idea, I'm sorry."[/i] he stood up and backed away, tears at the edges of his eyes and his ears drooped. Bia looked to Lytse to see how he was as she listened to Diel. [i]"An injured human?"[/i] She asked with a tilt of her head, [i]"I didn't think Ho-Oh would stop for a human. Maybe he's changed his ways a bit." [/i] She gave a playful blink to her Guardian friend, who hopefully knew she was joking around about that sort of thing. [i]"But I'm glad you have a moment to at least chill out here, all that travel must strain your wings."[/i] Volcano smiled to Sea, "That would be a lovely idea." He said, glancing over to the hole he left, "And I wouldn't just drop the slab just like that, it doesn't even fit the hole anymore after modifications to make it flatter so those two have more of a battle space." He smiled to his brother, there were moments when the two of them got into heated arguments, sure, but he enjoyed his brothers company from time to time. He glanced to the Lapras quietly, "And I'm sure some of the water Guardians would like a splash." Carrish grinned at her opponents excitement, it got her going. As Bear rushed up and readied a Low Kick, she waited carefully for the right moment to narrowly dodge, moving to strike Bear with a Brick Break. She pushed herself into the air as she did so, she told herself she couldn't attack with any poison attacks just yet, that would be unfair. This was a friendly game, not life or death; if it was, she would have easily gone for a poison attack and allowed her poison touch to flow through her body. The Lake Trio all watched Nethan as he walked over, listening to his words carefully before he strolled off. As Mindy started to talk, they turned their attention back to her quietly. "It is a pleasure to meet you." The female said quietly, lifting a mittened hand to her chest as she spoke, "I am Manderva, and these are my brothers." She motioned to the yellow haired male and the blue haired male, "Unandrio and Azur, respectively." Azur gave a small nod at his name while Unandrio stayed still and quiet. Manderva spoke up again before Xapher could get a word in, "Do not worry about Nethan. I presume that Gavin was speaking to him and he's offered to try and help him." Xapher relaxed as Nethan left, watching him go carefully before grinning to the Lake Trio. "These three are like Sages! They're some of the oldest Legendaries; apart from Arceus and the creation trio. And some of the others, but these three have never been replaced, these are the originals!" Manderva could only give a smile to the smaller Mythical Pokemons words, she wouldn't flatter herself with such a title, but she wouldn't disagree with the small friend. Gavin blinked as Nethan walked back to him. "I'm guessing it went... Well?" He asked hesitantly, he didn't know what the thumbs up was suppose to mean. Did the questioning go well? It was brief and he couldn't hear anything. Was he giving him a thumbs up to say that Mindy liked him? He sighed, maybe he had to take this into his own hands. He needed to pull his confidence up and head over to Mindy to talk to her, but of course.. Not around the Lake Trio, they creeped him out. Lecrero raised an eyebrow at Ilios' words before Ilias jumped on the spot. "Colour!" She said with a big grin, "It's not that your decoration skills are bad, it's just it lacks colour! And we were thinking we could put it to Ho-Oh to plan the decorations!" She grinned, looking to her brother for support if she needed it. The Human Arceus felt his lips perse together, looking over at the party with narrowed eyes. His emotion unreadable, much like always. "Hm." Frosiien could only giggle at Andy's words as he spoke about how he liked Dera; it was good, she liked Dera too. She was one of Frosiien's closest friends, well, until she met Andy at least. Dera slowly stood from her position with the Arcanine, moving to rub their heads as they settled beside each other. "My name is Derasiin, but much like you, I prefer to have it shortened to just Dera." She said with a smile, she glanced to where Andy was looking and spotted the Butterfree, "Ah, that one is yours?" She asked with a bit of a head tilt.
