TEST 8.

[azumods]

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.

[Eustace had been quiet during the talks with Saturn. Truthfully, he found Saturn hard to understand during their first meeting- that he'd be so willing to give up what he had for Cyrus's goals. And now...is there anything left of Saturn himself? The curiosity about the group's progress? The feelings he still had for his now spiritless Pokemon? Is Saturn, follower of Cyrus, all that's left? It's very difficult to say after everything he's heard today. It's almost as if when Saturn said that he'd be giving it everything he had when they met again, he knew he'd have to be like this in order to do it.

But if one thing's for sure, Eustace more than welcomes the idea of battle. As always, to him, exchanging blows says a lot. And now that he's spent so much time with his Pokemon, he understands that he's sharing his feelings with them during battle as well. He gives Pup's head a reassuring stroke to prepare the Mightyena for what might potentially come.]

Steel yourself and keep a cool head, Pup.

[It's a lot to ask, he knows. Dialga's presence is like nothing they've felt yet. But they're not the only ones asking a lot of themselves today, are they?]

If you already knew how we'd take it, you should've saved your breath.

[azumods]

It isn't right not offering you the option, at least.

[thunderwolf]

You're concerned about that at this point?

[azumods]

Always.
