"I would like you to meet someone," Michael said as he gestured to the Pokémon behind him. "This is Eros. He tries to stay out of sight a bit, but he wanted to meet you." Lytse looked at the strange Pokémon behind Michael and then scuttled around Michael's legs so he was behind them too. [i]"Hello,"[/i] he greeted the Pokémon. [i]"Who did you come to this party with?"[/i]. It had to be one of the guardians, right? Bear watched the poison jab hit the ground next to him. [i]"Nice,"[/i] he said, [i]"but have I shown you this?[/i] He used Focus Energy while taking on a bodybuilder pose. His body got outlined with a blueish light as he did. While he focussed his energy, he thought about what move he would do next. The lapras expressed her gratitude to Volcano and happily swam around when she was lowered into the water. Sea listened to his brother's praise and smiled slightly. "Couldn't have done it without you," he said. "We did it together." He noticed how happy the Lapras looked and was pleased about it, but his attention was drawn to movement to the side. It wasn't a big surprise to see Manaphy approach them now the pool was here. Mindy sat down at the stool and smiled politely. "Thank you," she said, but before she continued she looked at her Lapras and smiled. That was kind of the legendaries to do that for her. "So, you are originals, never replaced. Does that mean the others have been?" "We're fine," Nethan assured Gavin. "We don't always agree, but we are brothers." He looked around to see where they were and once he spotted them he gestured to get their attention. "How are you and Niccia getting along?" he asked in return. Ilios waited for Acreus to finish his sentence and followed his gaze to see what had distracted him. The human? Or that Pokémon behind him? He frowned. While it looked familiar, it also didn't look like a Pokémon he had seen before. Was it from another region? The Pokémon he knew best were the ones that lived in the same region as his, so he didn't dare to guess where that Pokémon was from. Regardless, it seemed to have caught their father's attention, and he wasn't sure that was a good thing. Andy turned to Frosiien. "Now that is a story I want to hear." There were different reasons why that could have happened: maybe Mitch had startled her, or maybe she didn't want a guardian, or maybe Mitch had shown some bad manners - after being on the receiving end of many glares he didn't think that was unlikely. Or could it be something else? He'd love to hear about it. "And then I can tell you how I had to run from Bear when I first met him," he added with a laugh.
