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.

[The brief pliability is enough to make him blink and open his eyes a sliver, looking over at his hand still against the barrier.]

It is really confusing, I know. When I first got here, I thought...you know, Team Galactic were all bad? For kidnapping us, and for doing this to the world...a lot of the people working for them don't know what they're doing, either. They can't because their free will is gone...

There are definitely bad ones, just as much as there are some who are just...being misled, I think. And they won't listen, so...we're doing what we can.

[Atsushi takes a deep breath.]

Are you afraid of them, Mesprit?

[He frowns, though he doesn't move from where he stands.]

I don't blame you. I'm afraid of them too, after what all they've managed to do to this world. They've hurt so many people and Pokemon, and they've hurt you and the other guardians so much...I don't know how anyone could think this is the right thing.

You're hurting...that's why you have this barrier here, right? To protect yourself from them.

[To keep Team Galactic, and everything else, out. Even if they're not them, it's reasonable that Mesprit wouldn't be eager to let its guard down so easily.]

Im so sorry I replied to the wrong comment somehow??

I'm sorry. I'm sorry you've been made to feel so afraid...and that you can't even leave this cavern without worrying about something else happening.

[He goes silent for a long moment after that, just to absorb what he's heard. Hand and forehead still against the barrier. By now, Chazuke has joined in too- however briefly- nudging the flat part of the side of his head against the barrier too despite how bad he feels.]

We don't want to hurt you. That's the last thing we want.

I DID I missed very hard

[That's good to hear, at least...or feel, he guesses. Feel/hear.]

It will be. We're not going to stop until things are alright again, okay? Even if it takes a while, or we mess up. We're still learning...I mean, I didn't even know what a Pokemon was a few weeks ago.
