Test 6.

EMOTION After the discussions with Lucas, he seems calm enough; any visible nerves around you, muted though they may have been, seem gone entirely by now, and he seems sure that Mesprit will be able to make the right decision when it comes to what to do. Besides, even if it isn't displayed prominently it's clear that he's concerned about it; whatever is making it affect the Pokémon in the cave like this is more than a bit of a worry, even if the feelings flooding though those of you here haven't stopped, either - the sense that things will be okay somehow, the odd comforting presence, hasn't faded. Perhaps it's a good sign for things to come. Perhaps it's promising, perhaps it's meant to be an invitation. Perhaps it's a request for help. Either way, Lucas recalls Torterra - he isn't immune to the despondency flooding through the cavern either, though it seems it's taken a little bit longer to hit him - and he'll gesture for you to follow him; he weaves easily through the stalagmite structures everywhere, and after a while the lot of you will become aware of an area emanating a warm glow in front of what looks like another corridor. It's soft and pink, and looks more like a dim light than anything solid; however, touching it or pushing against it will prove to be like trying to move a steel wall reinforced with concrete, using nothing but your bare hands. In other words, for a soft pink glow, it's very, very firm. Lucas shifts a bit in front of it. "This is it. I've been working on it for a few days now, but nothing really seems to work - I've tried teleporting around it, but that doesn't work, and Pokémon moves won't break it at all. "I really think Mesprit is back there; we need to help it." Do your best; that's all anyone asks of you right now.

Comments

[There's a bit of a pause, though that warmth isn't going away; any feelings coming from it seem a little conflicted, though - it's the sort of understanding you'd get from watching someone gesture a little aimlessly, like they're trying to collect their thoughts.

Eventually, though, a sense of something up comes drifting up, hazy around the edges but still distinct. Reassuring. You have things that Team Galactic does not.]

[niceoppai]

We do? I mean, we have feelings, but so do their higher-ups, from what we saw.

[azumods]

[Another brief pause, not as confused or conflicted as the first.

Yes. But they don't understand.]

[niceoppai]

Something unquantifiable, huh? It actually sounds kind of inspirational when you put it like that.

[azumods]

[Oh, good, the warmth turns a little excited and pleased because you get it-

It's something like that, yes. They see emotions as things to be thrown away, you see them as a source of strength. Differences like that.]

[niceoppai]

And if Cyrus and them see emotion as something to get rid of, even with all that power, they'll never understand it? It sounds too good to be real, but it feels like the right thing.

Thanks, Mesprit! Ehe, we came to help you and it's more like you're helping us, huh?

[azumods]

[We can help each other. That's the best way to do things.]
