[ If you've spoken to Naminé before, you might notice she looks far more at ease now. Being around people who actually like her and mean her no harm has done wonders for her, and there's even a small, content smile there. She's sitting cross-legged on the floor, and in her lap is a Chikorita.

Making sure not to disrupt the sleeping Pokémon, she holds up a (probably familiar) feather. ]

... Is it normal to have things like these floating around? They're beautiful, but... I'm not sure what their use is.

You do.

[Ilya's smile is fond, and as Namine meanders through her thoughts, she just sits there and nods at her conclusion.]

Having been here for a few interesting things over the time I've spent here, I'd have to say you're very likely to be right. But don't be so sure you'd have seen the Pokemon. It may be the kind that won't be seen until it wants to be.

[shatterings]

Well... I'm glad.

[ Even if she doesn't know exactly what it is she's done. ]

It must be a special Pokémon, if it can will itself to not be seen.

[dressofheaven]

It's quite possible it's a Legendary of some kind. When something important happens in this world, they're usually involved.

Have I ever told you any of the stories of what the Legendaries have done before?

[shatterings]

That would make sense... Then they must be very important, if they're from a Legendary.

No--but someone else told me very briefly of them. I wouldn't mind hearing them from you, though.

[dressofheaven]

Did they tell you about the time the two Legendaries from Hoenn came down to attack us? The ones named Groudon and Kyogre, brought here by two groups like Team Rocket?

I was there when that happened, you know. I fought them. I imagine many of them still have nightmares about me and my Pokemon.

[shatterings]

No... I didn't hear that one.

You fought them? Really? [ Ilya's so cool. ] I wouldn't be surprised. You're all so strong.

[dressofheaven]

Really? That surprises me, considering how recent it was. Just last year, actually, in October.

[Ilya preens under the admiration, though given how confident she usually is it's hard to tell the difference.] One day, Namine, you'll be ready to fight beside me when something like that happens.
