“Yes, as a matter of fact.” Hannah smiled, standing to her feet now that her team members were all healed up and ready to go again. “His actual name is Genitor, but everyone calls him ‘Gene’ for short. He’s really friendly, if not a bit on the dorky side. Not quite what anyone would expect out of an Arceus, that’s for sure.”
Of course, Hannah also knew that appearances could be deceiving–just because Gene didn’t behave like the standard Arceus didn’t mean he wasn’t powerful.
“As for how I know him… aside from what happened with Cyrus at Mount Coronet, I’ve been leaving offerings of berries for Dialga and Palkia ever since I was little, so I guess that level of dedication and devotion must have paid off for me to get the attention of Sinnoh’s legends.”
It certainly didn’t hurt, that was for certain.
Of course, Hebi–being the sort of father figure that he was known to be toward Hannah–would reach out from her shadow and gently tap the young woman on the head a few times with one of the tendril-like wings, as a reminder for her to not get too distracted. It definitely caused her to jolt a bit before looking back toward her shadow with a small embarrassed chuckle.
“Right! Sorry, Hebi–it’s just that I get so excited when I realize how lucky I am to know you and the rest of the Creation Trio by name.”
‘It isn’t just that.’ Hebi would respond, although he seemed rather amused. ‘You forgot to give your name.’
It was at that point that Hannah’s embarrassment would get a bit worse, and another embarrassed chuckle escaped her as she turned back to Cynthia with a smile and nod. “…I did kinda forget that, huh? My name’s Hannah Norwood–I’m originally from Eterna City.”
Cynthia wasn’t surprised when the girl before her confirmed what she had already been thinking. Granted, his name was actually longer than just ‘Gene’ but it still tracked in her opinion. It was nice that she was leaving offerings for them, though, and Cynthia had the thought that maybe she should do that, too. They deserved it, after what Cyrus and Team Galactic tried to do to them.
“Could I accompany you sometime, when you go to give them offerings?” Cynthia asked softly. “You don’t have to agree to it if it would be awkward for you, of course. But I was there when Team Galactic tried to torment all of those people and I’d really like to give them offerings to show how sorry I am that that happened to them. Because they deserve an apology, and the people who hurt them won’t give one to them.
She smiled when the girl finally gave her name, Hannah. “Well, it’s nice to meet you. Officially, I mean.” She gave a teasing wink to let the girl know that she was completely joking. “Eterna City is a really beautiful and peaceful place. I enjoy spending time there!” She said earnestly.
