"Laaatiaaa!" Lati gave a melodic, songlike cry as she swept closer by the side of the ship in search of her trainer. Loki responded with a brief but clear whistle and the psychic pok?mon flew towards him, landing happily by her trainer's side and nudging him affectionately, unaware of Absol's and Shellgon's little tussle.
"Latii..."
"Yes, it's good to see you too, Lati." Loki replied, stroking the Latias affectionately "I need you to translate for me."
Lati nodded and briefly closed her eyes to attune her senses to the other three involved. Soon, small, translucent threads of bright red energy shimmered between the three pok?mon and Loki before fading from view, the links set and ready to be used.
"Now, what's this about?" Loki asked, this time adressing the pok?mon through their minds as he eyed Absol and Shellgon sternly.
After further exchange of unplesantries, half-truths, and eventually, facts the situation began to look clearer. Absol, still on a total Carbos hype, had apparently ran into Shellgon and knocked the dragon pok?mon over as she was sulking. The situation had been solved peacefully, only to be repeated after they collided again when Absol was on his way back...which in turn resulted in the current situation.
Loki shook his head in a tired fashion. "I've said this a hundred times...Absol, you've got to watch where you're going because I won't always be able to help you." the Absol looked down in shame, he hated failing his trainer in any way "And Shellgon, you should know how careless Absol is and keep your distance from him. Use Protect next time, alright?" the Shellgon gave a grunt and something that might be construded as a nod.
"Alright, case closed." Loki said, giving his pok?mon permission to resume their respective bussinesses, which basically consisted of Lati flying of to resume her tag game with a happy call, Absol rushing off to the ship's prow, and Shellgon taking a seat between Loki's legs and resuming her sulking, knowing that this was a place where Absol wouldn't dare to run.
Loki shook his head and resumed watching Darkstar island's continuing rise from the horizon. It wouldn't be long now...
