    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

It's a pretty close bond! Jade did her best to keep a neutral face. "Ah, not exactly first partners, no. Virga was the last one I met. And we weren't on great terms before, so..." She didn't want Lillian to feel bad for asking, so she quickly added, "Virga was the strongest Pokemon I knew back home though! So, y'know, a powerful ally--I figure that's why the summoning program brought her here. We just, uh, have some stuff to work on. You know how it is with strong Pokemon." She wasn't actually sure if Lillian knew, but it felt like a normal sentiment that applied to non-Legendaries just as well.

Her tail swished as she racked her brain for a continuation with a more positive note. "Oh, and my actual first partner was Swift, he's a Pidgeot." That wasn't actually relevant to the question since the question had been about Virga, and Swift wasn't here. "Who's yours?" she asked, only narrowly stopping herself from adding "and are they here?" to the end of it, as she managed to temporarily forget that Lillian was herself in the second wave of summons, and would not have a summoned partner.
 
"Oh, yeah," Lillian said, as if she knew how it was with strong pokemon. The program must have different reasons to pick different people, because Lillie was hardly Gladion's most powerful connection. Quite the opposite, realistically. Maybe it was because she could rise to the challenge and become the best fit for the job? No, that felt too self-aggrandizing.

"Mine is Nebby, they're, uhh..." This required caution, so as not to openly contradict herself calling them a pokemon several seconds ago. "We call them a 'Cosmog', and they're odd. Actively destructive to any ball I've tried to put them in. But cute! Like a little cloud of stardust. Chaotic personality, honestly probably dangerous." Absolutely dangerous. They had some inadvertent role in the death of one person, nearly two. Somehow, that felt like bad information to share in casual conversation. "Wormholes and distortions and stuff, would probably beg a lot of legal questions if people knew about it. But we've both saved each other by now, so I guess that makes us partners? In a way?"

She hadn't really thought of her relationship with Nebby that way. But once she started describing it that way to Jade, she had to admit it wasn't far off. The main problem is that neither she nor Nebby really listened to the other, otherwise you could call it a non-trainer partnership.
