Grace listened to the impromptu speech, relieved that Ember hadn't given up her intellectual side. Too many people dumbed themselves down in favour of following the herd, so it was reassuring to meet those few exceptions. [color=80FFAA]"It's ok, nice to see someone who actually uses their brain,"[/color] she replied. [color=80FFAA]"Yeah, their ability to enter and interact with cyberspace is something researchers are still trying to fully figure out. Vertex sure likes exploring their capabilities."[/color] She patted the Porygon on the head. [color=80FFAA]"Fair warning, this means you might have to keep an eye on your electronics."[/color]

Her tiny smile grew a fraction at Finn's antics. [color=80FFAA]"Eevee's quite a mystery to researchers too, adapting so easily to most any environment. It's said that understanding Eevee's evolutions could be the key to understanding Pokemon evolution in general."[/color] This was something Pokemon and humans had in common, she thought, their circumstances shaped them in many different ways. It was no wonder that, besides Ember, the group she'd known so well now felt like a bunch of strangers.

To the side, she spotted the Pokemon Saint sent out, a small spectral dragon shaped like an arrow. [color=80FFAA]"Hmm... Dreepy, right? First form of Dragapult?"[/color] She'd never actually seen one in person, but while working on a tower defense game, she'd looked up Pokemon who would nicely accompany Blastoise, Clawitzer, Decidueye, and other ranged weapon users. 

Vertex floated over to Bullet and tried to boop him on the head, only to slip right through the ghost type. The bewildered normal type tilted back and forth like a rocking Ponyta, before steadying themselves and giving a series of laugh-like beeps. The mishap thankfully did nothing to stop them getting along, the two of them chasing each other through the air as Bullet gained confidence. For all the tension between trainers, the Pokemon appeared to take to each other right away.
