Upon the barrier being passed, one of the Pokémon pointed it out to him. "Ah, then I guess that'll be someone returning. It's been a while. I've been coming back to this spot every single day now. I wonder who it is." Kyn, who at this point had let his facial hair grow out and dyed it. He walked over to the barrier, not knowing whom to expect. What he saw slightly shocked him, when he saw a Salamence emerged from the portal.

Heji went through next, and then walked over to Kyn, raised his paw and put it on Kyn's chest, and then went back over to Serena.

Serena nosed Heji affectionately before turning her green eyes to Kyn. "You have changed." She spoke. Her voice a bit deeper than it had been as a Bagon, and more soothing. Perhaps she didn't have the Intimidate ability here, at least, it didn't appear that she did, as she lowered herself into a laying position, wings folded tight against her body. She was used to that, with the tight confines of the buildings. As she laid down, she curled her tail around her, and perhaps to the surprise of most there, set the egg protectively between her clawed forelimbs. It's bright blue body, and golden yellow zig zag pattern made up the shell of the egg, and doubled as a way of marking it like a lightning bolt, as an electric typed egg.

"Are you sure about that? This isn't exactly a major change. It took Heji a bit longer to return than I thought." Kyn then noticed the egg that was now in his field of view. "Oh, you've got an egg there. Where exactly did it come from?" He said, before wondering if she would react the way some do when asked that question.

"Your demeanor, not your looks, going unshaven is a good look for you...and yes, I'm afraid you have me to blame for his...detour." As for the question about the egg, she chuckled. "Surely you are old enough to know about the insects and the fowl, but that's not what you wish to know...It was abandoned and taken in by the orphanage...all teams are allowed to adopt Pokémon to join their teams...so you can imagine that I have some...credit as it were. I decided to use that today...since I'm not going to be going back there for a while, I figured that starting a new life, in a new place, it should include a new family--at least partially." She hadn't realized she had been talking with the PokéBlock case in her mouth, but she soon had set that on the ground as well. "This belongs to you, as I recall, and my memory seldom fails me."

"None of what you see is my natural hair color." Kyn stated simply. "Serena, would you like the time dilation to be set up so that time passes normally between our worlds for this period that you are remaining here? Or would you like it decreased, and reversed? Or maybe not even at all. I'm really curious here." Of course, even through all the change that Serena had seen, there was still that aspect still in him. He picked up the PokéBlock case, and then offered it right back to her.

She looked at Heji, then back to Kyn with a slight sigh. "When I go back, for the month or two that I will go back...Increased would probably be better...while I'm here...Decreased would be better...does this make sense? I don't know if it does..." she lowered her head just a bit, looking down at the egg momentarily, hoping she didn't have to explain the situation to him.

"It makes perfect sense. Now... this of course has been on my mind since I first saw it but.... why do you have an egg?"

Heji looked up at Serena with an amused look on his face.

"I..." She tilted her head down to nose Heji, purring softly deep in her throat. "We wanted one." She amended. "and we can not...not through the natural process...so we chose to adopt one that had no family. It's an electric type, we know that...and we know it's coat colors from the shell of it's egg, but we do not know the species."

"Then I will ask you this. Do you wish to find out what the egg is now, or do you want to experience it for yourself when it hatches?" Kyn walked a little closer to the egg, but slowly, as he didn't want to set off any instinctive maternal responses.

"I...do not wish to know, however if Heji would, it is his call, so long as I don't hear it, I do not mind." her tongue flicked out twice, once against her muzzle, and the other at Heji's mane. She noted how slowly he was moving. "I will not hurt you, Kyn, because I trust you, and Humans are more adept at holding eggs than we are, it's less likely that you'll drop it than we will."

"Personally, what you've described to me seems like a parent advising their child against opening a gift early at the Winter Solstice celebration. But, what I mean is, knowing these Pokémon Breeders has given me a database of eggs essentially, so that I can search by color, and from there, pattern. So, why do you not wish to know?" Kyn could understand the feeling a bit, since he himself had raised Liru from an egg, but he knew what Liru was going to be so it wasn't exactly the complete same.

"I...don't want to know, because it would set me at an imbalance...I've killed several different types of Pokemon, and without knowing in advance as to IF I could have taken it's parents from the world, I have less time to brood on it. Granted learning the species might clear it completely, but I would rather wait and learn about what IT develops into, instead of basing it on what I've seen before."

"So, it's not exactly what I thought, but it is a bit similar. Anyway, you're a Salamence, Serena." Kyn stated simply. He didn't really know much else he could say. He hadn't seen Serena in a long time, and since the dilation wasn't fixed, it'd have been even longer for her, but from what he learned last time, not REALLY as relatively long, compared to their draconic lifespan.

"Yes. I am." She sounded quite proud of this fact. "I took the surname Mence...so yes, Serena Mence, you should get it out of your system now." The last time she had given her name, several Pokemon had cracked up, and it took a hard stare for them to straighten up. She tilted her head with a sigh. "I suppose though, that Heji will leave it to me to explain--I'll be staying on this side for a while...he mentioned a place called the Dragon's Den, which would be a suitable place for me to call home...away from--no offense to you Kyn--but the idiots of the human race."

"Get what out of my system? So, the Dragon's Den eh? Yeah, that would be a perfect place to be away from the idiocy of some of the human race. Clair will be fascinated to meet you, not only because you are a Salamence, but well, because of your horns currently. Like me as well... she heh... might point it out, but I'm certain that you'll understand... The Dragon's Den is in the Johto region, which is for most fliers is... about..." As soon as he began to explain, a sonic boom was heard, (and possibly felt) and he immediately looked up at the sky.

"Well, thankfully you wont see me eating rocks anymore, the change was permanent when I evolved into a shelgon." She too, looked up at the sonic boom, her ear fins splayed, then contracted into near thin spines. "Yes well, I'm not most fliers, and neither is he." She tossed her head towards the sky, then flicked it back down. "Thankfully I -follow- in slipstreams well enough."

"Serena, I don't know if you're aware of how powerful the backwash of a jet is. You also probably still haven't seen one here yet. We're going to be flying extremely high up in the air though, I don't exactly know how high you've flown though. Speaking of which... I'm not doubting your strength but, are you able to fly comfortably with a human's weight? I've seen a human sort of... standing on a Salamence, but I don't really know. It didn't seem to bother it."

She shifted her weight a little. "Heji asked this when I took him on the first flight over the trees in my world...I can carry four times my own weight while flying, comfortably, any more than that and I can pull it off, but I wont be happy about it. As for how far up...I've gone until my wings crystallized with ice and I could go no further...and there are such creatures known as Latios and Latias in my realm, they are known as the Jet Pokemon." she pointed out. "But no, I do not know first hand, I do know, however, that I can handle whatever you throw at me. I haven't been slacking."

"Close to Rayquaza's realm then? I've never seen both of them up close before. They do resemble our jets, yes, the delta wing. Now, as for that atmosphere thing... is that a sort of a challenge? I warn you now that this Reshiram LOVES to show off." Kyn said with a grin.

"If he wishes it to be, however you would have to carry the egg, as my tail will need to be free to fly." There was a glint in her eye as well, it wasn't uncommon to see dragons compete against one another in this sort of way, and it was only then, when the light caught them right, that the Flygon glasses would even show against her red markings on her neck.

"I'm not sure if I'll be able to carry the egg in my hands Serena. This may be a little awkward but, would you be able to let me put it in a ball temporarily? Humans that don't carry them, do that a lot." He'd thought about this as well, wondering how he'd be able to successfully fly on Tenshi, while still taking care of the egg.

"If...you deem it necessary to do so, I don't mind." that, right there, was a major factor in trust, but she had meant it when she said it. "The PokéBlock case is empty, by the way...about half way through my development Udon and Soba discovered it and took it off to Merlot...who of course didn't like them, but she continued to eat them anyway thinking that they all had difference centers like a box of chocolates. She never listens." She sighed, then pulled up the goggles with one claw, pulling them tight above her earfins.

"Oh that Lugia... perhaps you should take back some baskets of Poffins as my gift to her for... whatever the hell reasons. For being a Lugia, I dunno. I'll make her fifty different types, each containing ten of the type. An anonymous gift from one of her subjects. The ones she like that is. What you can tell her of the ones that she doesn't like... though you did say that she ate the rest expecting something else. Anyway, that Lugia sure seems like an interesting character." Kyn said with a chuckle. "As for the egg, well, I really do need to be able to hold on to Tenshi, so I think it's not necessary, but recommended... "

"She...enjoys her lace." She put it that way, as a guard she was still sworn to secrecy as to what went on there, but she didn't have any doubt at all that 'mon already knew. It didn't bother her as much as it once did either, though being bound was NOT on her top ten list of favorite things. "Perhaps when I'm returning...we might want to talk to our dear space bender here to move the rift elsewhere, however." She nudged Heji once, then stood and subconsciously flexed her wings, snapping them open as her earfins extended their webbing again, and she roared out her challenge to the White One, quite aware of what it would do to those ears that were nearest to her, but they HAD their warning...if only a short one.

After Serena let out her huge roar, a few of the Pokémon were a bit shocked but most of them that had expected it didn't really react strongly. He'd had a bit of experience with things like this, so he continued a bit casually as if he hadn't pretty much head the roar. "Did you have some other place in mind for the rift? Is it needing to be moved because of your current residence?" He had decided this time to limit himself to only two questions at a time, due to the fact that last time they'd met, he'd had a habit of spouting out multiple thoughts and questions all at once, and for one, she probably wouldn't expect it.

"My cave is still my cave, on that side, that part is fine, I was meaning -this- side, as I'll need to have access to it...though I suppose if your..business will be on site, and they grow used to seeing me around, that having it on your grounds would be fine, depending on the location." Her tail flicked in anticipation; she was looking forward to settling in...and likely having to rearrange the pecking order--that would be the most complicated thing among it, she was sure.

The Reshiram descended upon the group, paying close attention to Serena, who he didn't recognize since the last time he had seen her she had been a Bagon. "Of course, that roar must have come from you, but, who exactly are you?" Kyn and the rest of the gang, watched the exchange and all took guesses as to what would happen.

Even with her neck stretched up, she only came up to the creature's chest, she evened the height out by standing on her hind legs. "Ah, the White One, you keep your kin waiting." She chuckled to herself at the pun. "--and your nose fails you, my scent couldn't have changed THAT much since you last smelled it, even with the evolutionary change, surely you at least smelled my Shelgon stage on Heji when he came back the last time." She paused, giving him time to catch up to all of what she had said.

"I only saw you once. I never even really paid attention to it that time either. But, judging from what you just said, you are Serena." He answered. He folded his wings inward, and sat down. "I have been rushing to get here though. Kyn said that the portal was going to open again."

She dropped down to all fours again, and nodded. "I am Serena, and I have a challenge." She looked like she might pounce. "If you are feeling up for it." Her goggles had tinted her eyes brown, while the surrounding flesh was purple. "Of course, If not, that is fine too."

"What sort of a challenge do you have for me? I am not usually one to refuse challenges." This time, he stared not directly at Serena's eyes, but near her, focusing on that point.

"Kyn will show me a map of the place that we will be going, and by using landmarks we'll see who gets there first. We do not have to take the same path, or even worry about the other catching up." She knew that Salamence where one of the pokemon who had the innate ability to surpass many in the skills of flight on their own. "Since, as I've previously told Kyn, I'll be staying on this side of the rift for a bit of time...I think that perhaps with introductions when we get there, I'll be comfortably settled by nightfall." She flicked her wingtips with a slight grin at him.

"Then I shall ask you this. Do you wish me to restrict myself in any way? As for the manner of landmarks... you have not seen the human cities... I am not doubting your ability to use landmarks, just that some look similar to others, and there are those that look almost identical. There is still the possibility that you could get lost. Would you be open to the idea of being tracked via the same way that Kyn and I track each other?"

"Do you feel the NEED to restrict yourself in any way against an opponent you don't know the abilities of?" she shot back, then wrinkled her nose at the information about the cities. "Natural landmarks, White One, natural ones change slightly, but not extensively over time. Lakes, mountains, these I shall not get lost by using...but if it would make you feel better, I do not mind." The last part of that was directed at Kyn, rather than the Reshiram before her.

"The stars have also changed since I was last awake. It had taken me a while to get used to them, but with Kyn's help I was able to adjust easier. Now, then, I have decided that I will not restrict myself." He added.

"Very well. We shall depart as quickly as possible." Kyn took out everyone's Poké Balls and set them on the ground. "Ah Tensa... your Premier Ball, been ages since we last used this."

Serena still didn't LIKE Poké Balls, after all this time, but since they were necessary for some parts of life, the appearance of the spheres just earned a slight twitch of her nose, even though she knew HER egg was going in one of them, she fought back the idea, actually having to look away for the moment. "Yes, I imagine they would change while you hibernated in your rock...Has the Grey Kyurem joined you in the waking world yet?"

"We both can answer that, Serena. The answer is yes. There are already legends told about Kyurem back in the Isshu region, which is where this version of Tenshi is native to."

"I have felt a twinge of my other but, have not really been able to locate it. The rumors state that this Kyurem resides near the giant chasm that was created by the giant meteor it came from." Tenshi added.

"Our version of the Grey one was hidden in a snowy cave. A purple Kecleon by the name of PK awoke him a while ago in hopes to have a wish granted, I believe she confused him with the wishmaker Jirachi." she chuckled "If he is awake, he will cause a snowstorm around where he is stationed...and if he was awakened before his time by someone truly foolish..." She trailed off. "Well, I did tell you about the blizzard that occurred just before we joined the guild, Kyn." She waited for things to be settled, the Pokemon and the egg in the balls before she spoke again. "A Ho-oh put him back in his hibernating form afterward, of course...I think I've told you this story once before."

"Oh dear. The Isshu region might be in for a drastic change if that happens then. Do you know how far the extent of Sorbet's wintering spanned?" Kyn asked. His thoughts quickly shifted to how far away his house was from where the Giant Chasm was, if that was going to be the focal point.

"It was said that the snow and ice reached to the bay, though not as far away as windswept woods..." She noted that the two of them were just standing around, and so she leaned down and picked up the empty PokéBlock case in her mouth, setting it under her tongue. "Well then, are we quite ready to leave then? If so, I do just need to see the map and the location point, Kyn...well, and the tracker, I suppose."

Kyn unfolded a map of the Kanto-Johto Region, and pointed out where Blackthorn City was on the map. "Blackthorn City houses the Dragon's Den, which can be seen above it. The Johto region is connected to the Kanto Region, which the splitting point lies here." He pointed at small area in between the mountain range. "A nice natural divider."

"...and we are...where currently?" She had to ask, since she never knew where they were going to open one up to on this side. "Yes, and the Pokemon Indigo League sits between them, I remember." She was comparing the old version of the map in her head, to this one, it hadn't seemed as though much had changed.

"We are... somewhere in the Sinnoh region. I can use the GPS to determine our exact location. I'd imagine that we'll meet up sometime in three to five days if you don't get lost." Kyn said, starting up his Xtransciever.

If you looked closely you could see her mind working, remembering the desert area in the Hoenn region, and the waterfalls...all the time over the water would have been taxing if she was any smaller, but if she could use the currents to her advantage...yes, it could be done in about three days. "Yes, of course." She wouldn't actually have to use her own energy much at all this trip, which meant that she wouldn't have to stop to hunt. She looked over the human's shoulder at the device, she would have to get used to technology here, she was sure, so she may as well begin now.

"Alright then. Number one, the headset. Number two, the tracker." Because he was currently with Tenshi now, he removed the headset from him, and affixed it to Serena. The next thing he did was put the tracker around her neck. Tenshi then lowered himself so that Kyn could climb aboard. After which Tenshi switched to a takeoff position.

It was never smart for two dragons, let alone two of different calibers, to take off at the same time, but they had enough room, this would work. Serena stepped away to give the big dragon, as anything that was bigger than SHE was, was considered big, room, and also flexed her wings. "May as well give us a count down, Kyn." She snorted, this was going to be fun, very fun indeed. She had her route set before her in her mind, and if she could make it there in three days...well, possibly even two; then that was all the better. She readied herself for take off, knowing she would have to take the two bounding leaps to get in the air, but not caring...she just hoped that the headset would stay at the altitude she planned on using over the water--so that she didn't have to face the downdrafts.

"Countdown then.... ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!" After the one was announced the great white dragon lifted off with a push as normal, and then began the process of flapping his wings. He rose into the air at a normal pace, until about five hundred or so feet off the ground, and then took off forward in the direction of their destination.

At One, of course, Serena took her two bounding leaps and took off, in what her mind, was gracefully, rather than continuing in a straight point, she spiraled upward until her scales were warmed by the sun, and not obscured by the trees, and even then she climbed into the sky, but not as a spiral, in fact rather than fighting against the wind- her body snaked through the currents, and the sun glanced off her scales as sun would off of water. Then she caught an updraft, and let herself be taken up higher without having to do the work, though the occasional beat of her wings might have lived up to the name 'a thunder of dragons' should she have been in a group of them. When she deemed she was high enough to get a good burst of speed, she tore downwards towards the trees along the path she had set, at a slope that would have vapor trails from the tips before she loped up again. Racing against a legendary, on a long scale trip, it was both a test of speed AND endurance.

Tenshi having traversed these regions had a different method of landmarking, though still using natural landmarks as well. He continued to rise higher and higher until he reached the level at which most jets had flown, at which point his Turboblaze ability activated. His speed increased dramatically as well, causing the air around him to heat up.

It was two and a half days later that Serena landed in the mountains surrounding Blackthorn, she had been careful to land some ways away from the town so as not to draw attention to herself, at least until she would hear Kyn in her ear, then she would go down to meet him, but not until then...From up here, the city looked small, she noted as she stretched. "I'm here." she muttered into the headset, not exactly sure how loud she needed to speak for the little thing to pick up her voice; it was odd, this technology.

"Well, your voice is picking up fine. We're near the Gym, and I think you'll find that we'll be able to locate you from the air." Kyn spoke over his headset, having already made contact with Clair, she was also expecting Serena to be there sometime within the hour.

"South east corner. I've been resting here for a while, figured I'd let you have time to get sorted...be right down...might want to hug the building." as she spoke, she leaped from the mountain face, not really flying, but gliding downward at an arc that would pass right in front of them as she settled down on the ground, landing with her back feet first, as always, followed by the front, and lastly her wings folded in against her back as she turned to face him. She was sure that she looked odd to those who didn't know anything about what she had done, with a case hanging from her lower jaw. Still she lowered herself so that her chest touched the sand beneath her, as this usually made her look smaller. Her neck however, she inclined and craned. "Well, racing against a White One, I suppose I never really had a chance." Her voice rumbled in her chest.

After making his way to Serena, he took note of where she had mentioned, and then met up with her. "Serena, just because a Pigeot can in some cases fly twice the speed of sound, doesn't mean they can maintain it for hours at a time. Sometimes it has to be done in short bursts. We did have to stop and rest, but you did say you wanted a race. Now, your egg." Kyn took the Poké Ball in which her egg was stored, and released it.

Serena gave a fangy grin, wrapping her body around her egg protectively. "Thank you...and perhaps I have an advantage then. I did not stop." She lowered her head to allow him to take the headset off of her, and the tracker as well. "I did catch some Pidgey in the air though, bite sized morsels...so there might be a few...feathers stuck to it." Once the headset was off she double checked the egg for damage, it was routine, but probably looked as though she didn't trust the way it had been carried here.

"Oh, but I forgot to tell her that you have an egg with you. So now that we're here, would you like to meet Clair outside, or should I have her travel to the Dragon's Den once you are inside it?" Kyn said, think about one of the best ways to go about it.

"Outside would be better, I think, less trouble for her." She looked into the windows of the gym with her tinged eyes, then pulled them down off of her eyes. "That is, if my landing didn't alert her to my presence already." She set the PokéBlock case down at her feet, with the egg. "I imagine that once inside I will have to find my place among the dragons there, since I did not grow up there it will throw the pecking order out of whack for me to move in."

"Er... about that... I don't think it was clarified enough. The Dragon's Den... in all actuality, doesn't have that many evolved Dragons. At most, you'll find ONE single Dragonair there. Ha, Soba. You won't have to get used to it as much as you think. Now, let us head for the Gym." Kyn then took out the rest of the Pokémon's Poké Balls and released Tensa, and Heji.

She looped the tip of her tail through the case's handle, then wrapped it around the egg. She waited for Kyn and the others to enter the doors before following in herself, used to ducking her head by now to get through doors, and her eyes adjusted quickly to the change of light. "Remind me to weave a pack for the egg, this transitioning all the time...it's a little tiring." she murmured to Heji.

"It's definitely an interesting sight, seeing a grown Salamence entering a Gym in Johto. As we've probably previously mentioned, a lot of Pokémon are regional, and you'd be from the Hoenn Region, and they don't even have a Dragon-type Gym sadly."

"What? Oh, right." Heji only caught the first part of the sentence about the egg.

"Do YOU have any questions for me before we meet her though?"

She tilted her head at the question. "Heji and I had been speaking about how she and I would communicate when you were gone, should she ever decide to visit...before your idea has come to fruition that is, and decided that an eye blink system would not work, do you have a suggestion then...aside from me learning to speak your language, I might have had a chance, if I was raised from an egg here..." she snorted a little.

"Well, as a sort of early, early, early, early, EARLY prototype, we could just do this. You'd be talking on a device similar to the headset. It is going to seem rather odd but, unless I am busy doing something, you'd be able to be directly connected to me, at the same time as being connected to Clair. Basically, a three way call. I'll also see if I can modify it so that you would be able to answer it via any appendage. That way you'd also be able to contact me and Clair."

She blinked at him for a moment; that could get...awkward. "You'd have to teach me how to turn it off as well, I'm sure that you didn't enjoy the sound of bones crunching in your ear with those Pidgey, and I'm not so inconsiderate to do it purposely to someone anyway." Her earfins fanned out. "I also gave you back your headset at the door, and would not want to inconvenience the White One any more than necessary."

"Ah yes, unfortunately for us, there are humans that DO talk on the phone while still eating sometimes. It'll be easy to turn off, once I've set it up. We're getting closer now, you might notice some looks of awe and shock from the Trainers that decide to train under Clair. Especially the younger ones. You might also even have their Pokémon doing the same as well." Kyn warned. He then went to pick up the aforementioned headset before. "Serena, what do you think of this region so far?"

"I am used to others looking at me strangely." She reminded him, but of course, she WAS a dragon, and the mere mention of people looking at her had her craning her neck. Setting an example, being a prime example of her species. "It is an interesting region, from what I could see from the air, as I said, I did not stop to get a better look, though I did circle around once or twice, the forest...the shrine there reminded me of something near sapling village in my world."

Kyn nodded his head, and walked next to Serena again. He still marveled at how she and he were almost the same height--if you didn't count her neck and head. There were very few Pokémon that came near his height that didn't pass it by a long shot, or just barely over it but she was still taller than him. He was already taller than most humans himself, probably with the exception of Lt. Surge, as he had seemed to be slightly taller than him. "You will find that there are a lot of shrines in this world. Shrines to Pokémon that are legendary, all the way down to those that have local importance. There are varying degrees of respect for Pokémon but for the most part humans have an incredible amount of respect for you all."

"It's better than fearing us I suppose..." She did still, even with her so low to the ground, lower her head to talk to him, since she preferred to look him in the eye. "This device of yours...is going to make me sound a lot like your Pokedex, isn't it?" It was an early prototype, so she figured it wouldn't be able to copy her voice. "Speaking of the Pokédex, you might not want to point that at me again, I'll probably break it now."

"It probably won't. Since we're able to artificially reproduce Pokémon cries to the point to where they are nearly indistinguishable from the real ones, it shouldn't be that much and an issue." He paused and held his chin in a thinking manner. "Speaking of the 'Dex again... do you believe that my Pokédex is incapable of analyzing the awesomeness that is the dragoness Serena?" Kyn said in a slightly teasing voice. He didn't exactly know what she meant, though she'd probably understand that he was asking her a question, albeit in a strange manner.

She snorted in a slight chortle, that would make the people jump, she was sure. "I think that it would break between trying to determine how strong I am now, and no, I'm not being full of myself...well, maybe a little. You do remember that I said I would be working for Lady Merlot as a Guard? She would have called it off if I were not among the best of what the region had to offer." She nosed him, and bumped his shoulder hard enough to knock him off balance. "Actually, knowing her...she would have gone out of the region if she thought she could get better elsewhere."

Kyn was surprised at being nudged so suddenly that he quickly turned back to her. "There is absolutely no way that it will break. If it didn't break with Tensa, it won't break with you. Unless you plan on stepping on it or breathing a mountain melting fire onto it. I don't exactly know if that means you're inviting me to do it or not." He said, put his hand in his pocket.

Serena chuckled. "Fire, hm, No. I wouldn't use fire on technology." She said, matter o' factly. "Let me put it this way...if I was worthy of being a Salamence when I was still a Bagon, and I took my TIME in the Shelgon stage, doubling my strength there, then doing it AGAIN when I became a Salamence, that means I'm four times as strong as I used to be, Kyn. If you're SURE it wont break...then go ahead. Just don't blame me if you get an error~"

"Ahem! Presenting Serena!" Kyn said with an exaggerated wave. He then took out his Pokédex and pointed the scanner at her. It gave a reading on the screen which Kyn was very impressed with. "Alright Serena... I'm thinking you might even be able to compete with Cynthia's Garchomp. You are definitely several times stronger than when I first scanned you."

She might have stuck her pointed tongue out at him, had he not introduced her as such, and even then it only took her a wide-eyed looking around to verify that he WASN'T actually presenting her to anyone before she tried to bap him with her clawed forepaw, the said claws lifted out of the way. "Playing on my pride, you should know better than that by now." Her tail flicked slightly. "Can we just be serious for a short bit?"

"Serena, I have been being serious for the past two years. I deserve a little time to act young again." He folded his arms and then continued walking forward. "So, have you decided on what to name your offspring if male and if female yet?"

"I have only had it for perhaps three days at the most, and most of that time without my mate, you think I would make that choice so readily?" She scoffed. "No...I might have a few....ideas but..." she shook her head. "I'm open to ideas, if you have suggestions as well." She looked at him. "but, after Clair, Okay?"

"Good. I was hoping for something similar to that. I am absolutely horrible at coming up with names." They finally arrived, and this time, Kyn was going to give an actual introduction. "Seems like this Gym might have expanded since I was last here." He said casually. "So, Clair, Serena makes her debut appearance right here, and right now."
