Michael stared at Arceus. He probably should be glad he assumed Niccia wouldn't want to return to a Pokémon life and the idea she would stay with him was a happy one, but he still couldn't shake the feeling it was wrong, somehow. Maybe because he was human - the idea a parent would just replace their children was awful, and Gavin had not taken it well; he had seen that.
"Look," Andy said as he almost shoved Varina in Arceus's face. "She's with me now. Darkrai abandoned her after his failed attempt to abduct my nephew," he said, gestured with his head to Michael as he used both hands to hold the keystone on front of him. "And that was his second attempt at it I might at, because my nephew had been abducted by him earlier, but with some help managed to escape from him. Oh, and as a FYI, I am dating Frosiien. And I'm Andy Bansing, by the way, pleasure to meet you."
"Right," Mindy said as she looked around. "Wow." She knew the nicknames of the groups, and now that she knew she did see some details in their appearances give away who they were.
"Xapher!" Penalopy hugged him back. "This is my friend Mindy," she said as she pointed to her. "Oh, and Niccia and Frosiien both have a boyfriend and you should totally date Mindy. She's cute, isn't she?"
Mindy's cheeks turned red. "Penalopy," she hissed. "I'm not here to look for a date."
"Because we know you, sister," Gathaar said. He walked off to greet the two brothers of Frosiien and Handeer went to the two remaining malesof the Swords of Justice.
Ezzar nodded back to Yalgai, smiling as she did, but strode to Nygari and sat down next to her. "You look stunning," she complimented her. "How are you today?"
Tanter gave Seth a pat on the back. "Go on, mingle a bit. We're always happy to welcome humans here." He glanced to Heathran. "Well, most of us anyway." He turned to Dausiin. "And how have you been doing? It's been a while since we last saw each other."
