TEST 8.
FLOW. The feeling of pressure in here is immense. It's stronger than it was with Darkrai, something you can feel down to your core, something that you couldn't shake off even if you tried; there's nothing to do but power through it. Saturn, for his part, either isn't feeling it at all or is incapable of reacting in any sort of appropriate way even if he could; he simply continues to regard you from across the room, his words hanging heavy in the room. It's a far cry from his behavior during the first month you were here; he was civil then, willing to do you favors in exchange for the chance to talk to you. It's plain that he will be doing no such thing today; it may be difficult to know where to start, really. Especially when your Pokémon don't seem to be doing well - whatever's happening here, they seem reluctant, even unwilling, to fight anything in this room. Perhaps it's not surprising; the energy in the room is likely familiar to them, and it's the sort associated with someone deciding to take their spirit away last time it was angered. Whatever the reason, you're on your own for now; whatever happens is your choice, and yours alone. |

[Sena's got an expression on his face that's...honestly a really awkward mix of absolute fear and some kind of determination.
Okay, he kinda looks constipated. It's not a very good mix. It doesn't detract from the firmness in his voice when he speaks, though! Mostly!]
I'm not gonna step aside for someone who'd...who'd run away from themselves!
no subject
Is that what you think I've done...? These imperfections of mine were going to be removed one way or another; it's a necessity. I'm capable of recognizing that, and having it done on my own terms.
no subject
J-Just removing your, your...fears or whatever, that's not how you'd face them! That's th...the easy way out! How do you even get stronger if you don't work to surpass them, build yourself up against them? What you did, you just took away from yourself, instead of adding...!
[He clenches Monta's Pokeball, and thinks of the friends in his world he left behind. The one who shares his starter's name, and everyone else, they'd all taught him this. He's not going to turn his back on those lessons now!]
no subject
I've removed my imperfections, and brought myself closer to Master Cyrus' ideal. If anything, I have more willingness to do what's necessary this time, should it come down to it.
no subject
[It indeed is about to get shounen as fuck.]
It doesn't work like that!
[He's beaten "perfect" players before! He's not gonna stop now!]

[He tenses.]
Not like this. Never like this.
[That kind of "perfection..." It's worth nothing!]
