Benny flew towards Arceus and when they reached him he sat down on the table. [i]"Thank you for hosting this party! It was great and the nectar amazing, I've never had better!"[/i] Benny began, deciding to go first. [i]"Can I perhaps have some for on the way?"[/i] It was perhaps bold to ask something like that, but he didn't want to take any without permission. It seemed like a bad idea to steal from the most important and powerful Pokémon in existence.

"Me too," Michael said as he watched his Cyndaquil return Eros's greeting. "If his father agrees. We were close to Darkrai before and... that may happen again." He clenched his fist when he spoke those words, he had been taken captive by Darkrai before and he'd rather not be in that position again, but that was a real possibility.

[i]"A friend he grew up with,"[/i] Kim explained, glanced to where Benny was going. [i]"He is a gym leader now and one of the co-founders of the Rorie League. Benny knows him better than I do, I only met him when Andy returned home from the Kanto and Johto regions, Benny was with him before he left the islands"[/i]
She felt nervous in Benny's place for approaching Arceus like that. How did Benny do that?
