Test 2.
WILLPOWER The chamber at the back of the cave is not unlike the one before it - it's large and oppressively dark, with shallow pools of water puddled on the floor. However, it isn't entirely impossible to see; off in a far corner of the cavern, there's a dim light shining pale blue, the soft glow pulsing steadily like it's keeping time, like a heartbeat. It's likely, however, that you're not going to get a good look at whatever is causing it before a voice rings out from the entrance behind you, immediately setting the Spiritombs off with loud, ringing shrieks that indicate over half a thousand souls aren't pleased with what seems to be happening here, and as the words register, you'll realize it's probably for good reason. "In the name of Team Galactic, I'm going to have to ask you all to leave. The Guardian is rightfully ours." It's immediately obvious that at the very least, the voice doesn't belong to Saturn - it's higher-pitched, belonging to a woman from the sound of it. Turning to face the source will reveal a woman in full Galactic grunt uniform; she seems young in the face and she's rather short, though she's built as though she's likely strong for her size. While she's clearly here to do a task, her eyes are noticeably just as devoid of spirit as the others that you've seen - she's just as heavily brainwashed as the rest. The Spiritombs you've encountered will do their jobs; they'll protect the Lake Guardian physically, promptly proceeding to get between it and...well, everyone else here. They aren't going to back down until the perceived threat is dealt with; they really, really don't like Team Galactic. What happens now is up to you. |

...Okay, that was a little weird. Give her a few seconds to process that, but...]
...That was...was that you?
[...Yes, she speaks that aloud. Either way, though, once the weirdness of that goes away...]
...If it was, it's no trouble at all, darling. I'm just glad to see you're feeling much better than you did before.
no subject
You've all done very well today. Your help is appreciated.
no subject
...Our apologies, for not having come to your aid earlier. We were sent by Cynthia, but encountered something of a blockade.
no subject
Team Galactic was here, I am not surprised that they stood in your way.
no subject
Even so--it was certainly our intent to be here far sooner.
Might I ask your name, should you have one?

[Let's just try to give the creature it's due reverence and stop thinking of it as an adorable critter--]
An apology is owed, however, for waking your dear friends up. I imagine they would have either way, but it was still quite rude...you've picked your own guardians very well, I'll say.
no subject
It is fine. They were startled by your presence, but they appreciate your help as well.
no subject
[Like that might've been slightly mean. Very slightly mean.]
...Never the less, it pleases me to hear. I'd like to think that being able to help you all will give us courage to face the future, and help the other guardian as well.
[...Ah--]
Do you communicate with them, at all...?
no subject
[Azelf's face is just kind of like that all the time apparently, but the thoughts seem sad.]
no subject
...I'm very sorry to hear that. But please, know that we'll be working very hard to heal their injuries as well, so that way all of you may be able to live without worry.
[She's not sure if Azelf's power is just giving her determination at this point or what, but. It works? It works.]
What are their names?
no subject
Thank you for your assistance. I do hope you will be able to help them as well.
