“Oh, sorry Levita,” I say quickly, nervous at the thought that I could have hit my own friend on accident. “That was pretty cool though, right? I bet that I could do that better if I did it more often...” I begin to think about all the cool things I could say whenever I got the chance to do that again, maybe even some sort of pun or one-liner, but then Chip decides to attack Static for whatever reason. What’s the deal with this place? Why does everyone try to hit each other the moment things start to get tense? Do they have some sort of grudge against diplomacy? Is it just lost to this part of the world? I take a deep breath, managing to calm myself down. I notice the Nidoran escaping in the midst of the chaos, but I don’t really do anything about it; it’ll stall the conflict for a little while and she’d probably have some time-consuming reason to go here in the first place.

	“Well,” I say to the Pichu (whose name seems to be Static), “I was always told that words have power.” I smile confidently, also having been told that power can be wielded in a variety of ways. I don’t think I was using Disarming Voice, so it shouldn’t have done any actual damage... Maybe I should explore this idea more later; I think I’m on to something magnificent...

	“Oh yeah,” I say to the Goomy (whose name I don't think I ever caught), “We’re Team Crescendo; perfect to the last beat! Actually, that’s a really good slogan, considering we haven’t failed a mission so far...” Of course, I leave out the fact that we haven’t actually gone on any missions yet, but it’s still technically true. I probably should have told that to Team Frontline, too. That would’ve taken some of the wind out of their sails.
