Michael gave Missy a pat on the head. Now he had 4 small Pokémon with him, all in various stages of nervousness of what was happening. 
"No, so stay close to me," he told the Poochyena, but it was a message for all four. 
Lytse didn't need that encouragement and glanced around as he stood sat down close to Michael. Anthony settled on Michael's shoulder and his head shifted repeatedly as he tried to keep an eye on both Arceus and the gate.

"It will," Gathaar said, but he didn't sound as confident as he had wanted. Hantaar didn't even say he believed it had worked - he wanted to believe it, but he didn't want to say something he wasn't confident with. 
They both watched Soul walk to Niccia and Lecrero.

Nethan had observed what was going on with Arceus and Mew, but it looked like Yalgai and her brothers already assisted there, so he decided to go to the gate. He had seen the unwelcome guest and he walked over, carefully, ready to act when needed.

[i]"I have nothing to say to you,"[/i] Ra growled back. [i]"Why did you come?"[/i]
His muscles were tense, ready to jump into action at the first sign of his brother's attack. Why had he come to ruin this party? It had been going so well. Well, minus whatever was going on with Lecrero and Niccia.
