    Aw, that was a pretty sweet way of thinking of it, actually. "It makes sense. Certainly suits you. Hard to picture you working any other way." Gladion had heard though word of mouth about Betel's origins already, which he'd kind of suspected something like that would turn out to be the case...

    "Didn't paralyze either. Guess it's like a substitute" But that couldn't be everything. Substitute was already a move that existed, intuitively Gladion just felt in his gut that there was something more. There just had to be. Shadow stuff was supposed to be... stronger? "We'll just have to...

    Gladion tilted his head. "Does it have a mind of its own, or are you... doing ventriloquism with it." (If someone was going to find a way to do a ventriloquist comedy routine with the physical manifestation of their own shadows, he felt like it would be Nova.) Shooting a weird little shadow...

    "A substitute, huh?" Gladion stood up and circled around to the Guardian. "That's interesting. It's coming from your shadow, so I suppose it makes sense that it'd work more like how you tick. Should I..." He glanced at Nova, then back at the Guardian. "Do you want me to test it out? Poke it...

    Malantau Terminal One

    So far, Gladion had been making the mistake of picturing Terminal One as looking more or less like Terminal Two, but in a dungeon. In the same way Bejuardo was a castle but in a dungeon. He had been mistaken. Something about the way that the real Terminal One was anchored into the rift felt…...

    What on earth is that? The answer was obvious: It was Nova’s new shadow power. Gladion didn’t get up and put distance between him and Nova, even though a corner of his brain wanted to. He trusted Nova. He didn’t have to worry. Even in spite of that, he allowed himself some leeway to lean away...

    "I... don't know. I'd hope so, it'd be the right thing to do. I see why you did it." And yet, he couldn't really picture himself doing it. He had Hazel to protect. Had to live for her sake as much as his own, she depended on him. He'd do it to save her. "If I had to to protect my partner, I...

    Oh. So the timing wasn't a coincidence, then. That made sense. And if there was someone like that keeping an eye on Nova for him, maybe that'd be alright. "Glad you're getting that shot. But I'd rather get sent home than let you bite it early. So if we get put against the wall you're gonna have...

    Gladion smiled, in spite of himself. He still didn't know what a soul did even, in the sense that he wasn't sure what it did to affect who people were. But he wanted it to be true, and it wasn't anywhere close to the weirdest thing he'd heard about so far, so he chose to believe it. "Sure, I...

    Huh. Gladion had always just assumed Nova'd been like the ones he'd created. This was news to him. "Cynthia? She's the champion right now. Of Sinnoh. Don't know that much else about her, so I guess her being involved in this stuff is a your-world thing." There really wasn't a coherent way to...

    Where was Nova going with this? "Think Odette introduced that one. A name for our species." That was true of Forlas, at least, but... "I think I came up with it? Or, will come up with it from where I am now. A name other than Type: Full for our species." It was a pretty literal name, which...

    Gladion seemed more worried then amused. "You can come to Terminal One if you need to. I... I see the logic in going to keep him busy directly, I do, It's just..." He never had been capable of saying what he meant outright. This was pathetic. If he wanted to say something he should just do it...

    "Gonna beat the snot outta some Cipher people, nothing new about that. Alexander's more of an unknown variable. But, well, I'm not sure I'm set up to comprehend the scale of what's going on there. It hardly feels real to me. Not in terms of having to fight him, I'm ready for that, but the stakes...

    The stars had left a feeling like some kind of itch beneath Gladion's skin, dormant and waiting for release. He'd have time to figure that out later, though. There were more important things to address right now. Like Nova. He'd just dropped a hell of a piece of info on them, he couldn't just...

    Offscreen Activities

    Gladion's worried about them, but the group needs all hands on deck and there's no real good reason to keep Sage out of danger forever. Even if he wants to. "Be glad to have you around. Could go with Nova, if you wanna help out with the shadow stuff, but don't wanna have to face anyone from...

    Gladion’s eyes widened subtly but perceptibly with recognition at Owen’s demeanour. Looked like Hazel if she got close enough to bleach or hydrogen peroxide to smell it. He felt like a bit of a dumbass for not figuring off the bat that talking Alexander stuff was gonna put him in a bad place...

    Sojaveña Wilds Totally Normal Bulletin Board

    Gladion wasn’t expecting Owen to be out here in the crossroads, but he wasn’t exactly a difficult person to identify at first glance. Sure, Gladion had never seen him before, but he wasn’t exactly easy to mix up with a normal Charizard. Some of the of the other Wayfarers seemed pretty nervous...

    Wayfarer Comms

    Hey. Talked to Powehi. We can expect those new powers to manifest about now. Word is Owen can help us figure it out if someone knows where he lives. Dude's not looking so hot, so we better move it. Gonna look for some people to poke around in Blackglass Caldera later, too. But this comes first.

    Gladion nodded politely. “Sier. Nice to meet you.” He tilted his head, inquisitive. Too many people asking about Terminal One all at once might be unpleasant for Sier after what he just went through, but it was also important to ask. “Don’t want you feel pressed into anything, but getting their...

    “Blackglass Caldera,” Gladion repeated, committing the name to memory. “Got it. Once we’ve got time, I’ll see if I can’t put together a group to check it out.” That, however, was a problem for the future. Assuming they even came out the other side of this mess at all. He had to believe they...
