Eggterparty

[ So like, that was all something, right? A confrontation with the souls of the damned, and then a battle with a former gym leader, and finally, a meeting with a god. Even as they plan to leave, the sky is dark with storm clouds. The day seems to conspire to create barriers for the group. But even so, to many it may seem as if the evening is a hopeful one.

One of the lake guardians has been restored and the group has completed - after a month - the initial task that Cynthia gave them. They found one of the gym leaders, and learned there were those who fought for this world (even if they did lose) and still can be broken free from the control. All in all, it's mixed, but the mood isn't necessarily unpleasant, despite the rolls of thunder overhead.

However, said rain and thunder does mean it ends up seeming more sound to camp here in the cave. It's not necessarily comfortable, but there are those those who can pitch a tent or two and others who can make fires. Some people might have food provisions, or are able to make more for the group with their existing supplies or forage.

Though that said, the most remarkable thing of the night is obviously going to be that strange pulse of ... something which comes over everyone. And then, of course, the sounds of these eggs hatching . . . ]

[So creepy. But actually, it gets Eustace to bring up something that's been on his mind since he met his new pup. Something that honestly bothers him...]

It surprised me that even newborns are spiritless. These effects go deep- far beyond Saturn's machines.

Huh, now that you mention it...

[Give him a moment to consider that. It's actually really unsettling? Yikes.]

So it's not that something was done to the people and Pokémon here... or well, there's that too, but it's more like something was done to the world itself, maybe?

[IT SURE IS...]

Possibly. A wide-spread, lasting effect. [Eustace's frown deepens a little, as his thoughts are going to a place he isn't sure he likes.] Where I'm from, beings called primal beasts are capable of having such an effect on entire islands. Everything we've learned about Azelf...reminds me of a primal beast.

[It doesn't surprise him that Team Galactic would try to get a hold of it and the other guardians.]

Huh... It's pretty strange to think that you could find something so similar here, just revered as a deity.

Some primal beasts could certainly be considered godlike, though not all are revered. There was a time when the skydwellers were at war with them- or rather, their creators. The ones that are awake again since those times are a wildcard in terms of being benevolent or volatile.

[...sorry for the sudden lore drop, Yuri.]

[Oh, it's no problem. He's absolutely here for lore, actually.]

Oh yeah? How were they created? And while we're at it, who are the skydwellers?

[Then more lore he shall receive!]

The Astrals created them. They were outsiders to the skydoms and attempted to seize control of everything for themselves, using the primal beasts as weapons. Skydwellers are the people who inhabit the skydoms- regions of islands floating in the sky. [...] In other words, someone like me.
