That's good, at least.
[ he smiles, but it's pensive as he thinks about the situation. this is certainly better than her being on the ground, but just leaving her here would be a band-aid on the problem. she can't walk for the time being, and that means she'd be stranded here. ]
If you don't have anyone to escort you back to your apartment, I can certainly help with that as well. I won't be able to carry you over such a distance, but I can call on a friend to assist.
[ metagross certainly wouldn't mind! ]

[ considering he trains monsters that he can call upon from capsules, he likely won't be perturbed by a demon... though the cellphone summoning might be a little eyebrow-raising. ]
I wouldn't say that at all. I'm glad to do what I can - with how things have been escalating lately, I'm of the opinion that we should all be helping each other when possible.
[ he's been doing his best to keep out of life-endangering affairs, so things like this are the least he can do. ]
But if you think that you can handle things from here, I won't impose. There's something about you... You seem like a very capable person.
[ it's something he's always thought about her, memories or not. ]

Maybe... but I think it's something else. My intuition is rarely wrong about such things.
[ but if she says that she's fine, steven can't argue with it. maybe if things were as they usually were, he'd be a little more adamant about being the one to escort her safely... but that isn't the case. right now, all he can do is wish her well. ]
If you insist. [ he'll offer her a shallow bow. ] In that case, I suppose I'll be on my way. I sincerely hope that you recover soon, Miss Yanagiya.

I see. [And he really does, taking a look at Beldum then at Metagross and being at least a little impressed that a creature with one eye can grow to be that big in a short span of time.]
Evolution takes thousands of years in my world...it's kind of amazing that Pokemon in your world grow so quickly, and that they bond well with people.

[ it does take plenty of time for a beldum to evolve into a metagross, but certainly not thousands of years. ]
I'm glad you think so! I also think it's a wonderful thing. Pokémon and humans have always coexisted with one another, and while those bonds have changed over history, their roots can always be seen in how we interact every day.
[ but he won't wax poetic for too long. he'll hop off of metagross' back in a fluid motion, straightening out the cuffs of his suit jacket. ]
Ah... But you didn't come here for my rambling, did you? [ he caught himself - he's getting better at that. ] I noticed that you weren't specific when you asked to see my Pokémon - I have others, if you're still curious.

[It's true, Minato is far less patient for rambling than he might seem but it's not as if Steven is on the level of Junpei.]
Yeah, I'd like to see them. It's kind of funny, though...people in my world keep pets and bond with them too, so our worlds might not be all that different.
[Except maybe for the part where Shadows and the Dark Hour are involved. Maybe.]

While I don't doubt the truth in that, I think that my companions may be slightly different from your run-of-the-mill housepet.
[ there are a remaining six poké balls on his belt that he takes in hand, then throws into the air. once they've all opened with their respective bursts of energy, the creatures materialize at his side, all staring at minato inquisitively. it's as he said - most of them (barring carbink and aron) don't seem like they would make very good pets. they look strong and well-trained, to the point of being fairly intimidating. ]
Everyone, please introduce yourselves.

[Skarmory he's seen before and gets a polite nod, but as for the others...while Minato logically agrees with Steven that they're nothing like common pets he's spent a bit too much time with eldritch abominations inside his head to either be intimidated or to say that he wouldn't keep one as a pet were he to have one.]
Some people in my world keep dogs as guards...I wouldn't mind one, though. [It's about as straightly said as if he'd pointed out that the sky is sunny today, and he blinks before addressing Steven's team.] Hello.

If enough people were willing to take on the task, that might be possible. But eliminating a force that has had a stronghold on this colony for as long as they have is easier said than done.
Still, recent events have me believing that CERES' plan may be reaching its endgame. Whether the outcome is the one they wanted or not, it's clear to see that things are falling apart - literally.

[ that works too! the next best thing from being impressed by his team is being intrigued by them, so that reaction is one that steven won't scoff at. ]
You and I are of the same persuasion, then.
[ upon being addressed, each creature will bow their heads in respectful greeting. but once the general pleasantries are over with, aron will be waddling over to get a closer look at him. she's the curious one of the group. ]

ok. see ya in a bit.
[And literally two seconds later, Sans appears directly behind Steven in his apartment.]
[Hope he's not wearing anything embarrassing.]
Hey, buddy.

[Hope he's not wearing anything embarrassing.]
Hey, buddy.
[ good fucking arceus, that almost scares the crap out of him. he's thankfully not in anything embarrassing - a little more casual than usual without his suit jacket, waistcoat and tie and dress shirt sleeves hiked to his elbows, but still quite put together. still, it doesn't stop him from staggering slightly. ]
How did you... [ you know what? no. ] ...Never mind. Hello.
How did you... [ you know what? no. ] ...Never mind. Hello.
[That's right, Steven. Don't bother asking. It's not worth it.]
[Sans throws himself into a nearby chair, lounging around like a champion.]
So.
Stuff's getting pretty crazy out there, huh?

[ at the moment, he can barely find it in him to care. his mind is far too occupied, whether it's with thoughts on recent events or the constant, biting stress over everything he's faced until this point (both in the colony and back in hoenn). he's good at hiding his troubles, but the furrow in his brow is unmistakable. ]
That's barely scratching the surface of the situation.
[ he sighs, running a hand through his hair in exasperation. ]
I'm sure you saw that network broadcast - the decision we make as a collective could decide our futures. It's not something we can take lightly.

[A couple of moments pass, and then Sans sighs. Which is pretty weird for a skeleton with no visible lungs or anything like that.]
Yeah, I know.
That's why I'm here. I wanna talk about what to do with Frisk if things go belly up.
