[Armin lands behind Shiro, gratefully sliding off Hilde's back. He watches Shiro and MC for a moment, before turning his attention to Hilde, stroking her sharp neck carefully.]

While we handle things here, could you go round up the others? They don't need to keep searching now that we've found him.

[Hilde warks, bopping the top of Armin's head with her beak --stay good, soft egg-- before taking off again.

And with that taken care off, Armin steps closer to Shiro, glancing at him, at MC, then at Krieg in the distance, and back at Shiro.]


Should we... go talk to him?

Yeah... yeah, I sort of figured it would be. [He's not MC's trainer, but you'd have to be dead not to be able to read that gesture.] I'm sorry. But I'm glad you guys are here for him.

[Because Krieg wouldn't ... be who they've come to know without them. Krieg admitted as much. He believes in the pokemon, and the man responsible for them, as a result.]

[He looks back and forth between the three of them -- MC, Armin, and Krieg. All right. Then that's what they're going to do.]


Okay. Then that's what we'll do.

[Shiro squares up his shoulders. And starts to approach the big man up the beach.]

[Armin for his part, trails behind Shiro, giving him a bit of room. Shiro is much better at this, the whole talking to people and giving them support and comfort, so he's going to let Shiro take the word. They've all got their strengths, after all.]

Hey, Krieg.

[He keeps his movements steady. Slow. Making it clear where he's moving. How he's moving. He doesn't approach all the way. He stops about three feet from the huddle of Krieg and pokemon, looking Skully up and down, first. She really did get huge. Kind of weird to see an Aggron who isn't Kuro after so long of just being around the big guy. The Lucario isn't one he's seen very often. The one he doesn't quite know how to read.]

[Murder Chicken seemed to think this was best. So he'll give it a shot. Sitting himself on the sand where he was standing. While Haunter waves to the other pokemon in hopes of getting some kind of more cheerful reaction. It's trying its best.]


We heard what happened. And... well. We were worried about you.

[He's just glad he was right about what Krieg would do with the pokemon around. As opposed to what he'd have done on his own. He trusts this man a great deal. And, honestly, hopes Krieg knows that, even just a little.] We've got a bunch of birds...

... and I've got Red. If you feel like wrestling. Or we can just sit here with you. It's your call, man.

[Armin's eyes are on Krieg, but the longer he goes on, the more concerned and distressed his expression gets. He glances at Shiro a time or two, just to see if he'll interrupt Krieg or try and talk him out of it.

At that final line, even though Krieg is looking at Shiro, he can't help but pipe up.]


I don't think that is the sort of thing that Angel would want.

[He can see Armin looking at him. But he stays quiet. He lets Krieg speak. Like he's waiting to see if the words will clear the wound. Venting it out instead of holding it inside. His shoulders square up where he sits, his expression intent on Krieg.]

[... realistically, there's no comparing his situation to what Krieg is going through. No comparing what happened to Allura, to Matt, to someone he barely knew. But the words "should have kept her safe" hit home more than they probably should. He wants to say this Angel could come back. It could happen. "Could" doesn't help now.]

[Armin speaks up before he does. And he nods, in agreement.]


She wouldn't. And neither would the pokemon she left you. You're responsible for them, now. Them and your team. You can get through this, Krieg.

[He meets that stare. Saying the words with the same sort of determination and assurance he says it to the rest of his team. To everyone he cares about.]

I lost my entire team here, Krieg. I lost someone I failed, back home. [No, Shiro lost Allura, it should have been him. It should have been me.] I lost Dorian too. I have one pokemon to remember them by. But you can bet I am doing everything I can to make sure that one pokemon lives up to its potential.

You've got to do the same. It doesn't have to be now. But you can't give up on yourself.
