You're just walking in town when a Steelix bursts out of the ground! What's it doing here on the surface?
The Steelix rose from the ground, only to be decked by a Hydro Pump. “QUAAAG!”
The mighty metal snake, perhaps once a major threat, was batted out of the way as an afterthought by Torrey, as Milleuda marched forward with her six stalwart allies.
They stopped outside Professor Xehanort’s lab. Milleuda turned an about-face, and looked over her soldiers once more.
Did she really have to give them up? After all, Ingot was this close to learning Iron Tail, and she had just taught Carbuncle how use dark and earth-element blasts, and Torrey had finally gone a full day without spitting water at her, and-
… and it wasn’t meant to be. These creatures, intelligent and powerful as they were, were not of her world. To keep them here would be to expose them to danger- what if a rogue kingdom got their hands on them? What if the Lucavi returned and used them as vessels? She even saw the horrid effect her Holy spell had on the Guzzlord- a behemoth the size of a building, and it had been felled by one divine blast!
No… this was the way it had to be. This was an alliance that had to end. She had seen her soldiers grow hale, hearty and strong under her tutelage, all of them now capable of doing great things in their homeland.
Heh. Brigade soldiers in another world. She liked the thought of that.
The words didn’t come. They wouldn’t come, not without bringing with them an unacceptable amount of tears. Just like any class of trainees, she had to dismiss them without leaving even the slightest regret.
And thus, Milleuda walked up to each one of her Pokemon, and gave them a salute, and a hug- yes, even the Duosion- before returning each one to their Pokeball.
Then, once all of them had retired to their Pokeballs, she pulled out a knife, and scratched on to each one the letters: “CB”.
