Hydra, let go.

[A shiny, newborn Deino gives a plaintive whine, but Ilya ignores him and pulls her hair out of his reach, offering a long stick instead. He begins to bite into it with gusto.]

You know, people keep talking about how troublesome it is that Deinos love to bite things, but I think there's another problem, and I'm not so sure they're the only ones that have it. Deinos are blind, right? And so is their first evolution, Zweilous. But when they evolve into Hydreigon they can suddenly see. Doesn't that seem like it might cause problems? What would it be like to be blind all your life, then suddenly be able to see? They say Hydreigon is vicious, but maybe it's just scared.

[There's a snapping sound, and Ilya glances over at her dragon, who has bitten straight through that stick and is now trying to find something new. She sighs and offers him another one.]

I don't know what can be done about it, though. You can't really help them try to see before that. I suppose you could try blindfolding the Hydreigon, but I don't think that would work very well.

[The second stick snaps, and a sudden gust of wind blows her hair across Hydra's nose. He snaps it up immediately.]

Ack! ... Although, I guess I do understand the first problem, too. Hydra, let go. I said, let go-

[And with a muffled chomping sound, most of the rest of her hair suddenly vanishes into the maw of the Garchomp that just snuck up behind her. Ilya scowls.]

Not you too, Typhon! Why do you dragons think my hair tastes so good?

Maybe bring Saber with you? She can get... loud when she loses.

[ Uncontrollable would be a better word, but. ]

Yes, I've... seen that. It's really pretty embarrassing just to watch.

I could ask Saber, it's true, but... if you're going to fight her too, why don't we go together?

[ Slight pause. ] Two losses in a row? ... She really won't be happy.

Well, probably not, but can she really get any worse than she already is when she loses? At least we could back each other up.

True. Still, I'll try to make sure she won't bother you too much, Illya.

[ Guess who was someone's knight apprentice for a certain King of Knights? ]

[Does that mean you need a Princess to guard, Xion?]

I appreciate that. I'll do what I can to keep her from being too harsh on you, too.

If worst comes to worst, we can escape on Berserker once we've gotten our badges.

[ Pretty sure Kairi's about covered in the protection department, so... yes. ]

Berserker is your...?

[Come be the Saber to her Iri.]

My Rhydon. He's my starter, and still my strongest. He's really amazing, nothing can stop him once he starts going.

[So her plan is: Beat Whitney, take badges, escape on Rhydon while she starts to break down. Brilliant, Ilya.]

[ Awww, yes. Drag her around and dress her in all the things, Illya. ]

I'll have to get familiar with your Rhydon, then. I don't want to to spook or make him angry.

[Day out at the Department Store, here they come!]

I'll make sure you have the time to do just that! But you don't have to worry too much. Berserker's only dangerous if I tell him to be. Or if someone threatens me.

Heh. He's very loyal and loves you, too, huh? We'll do our best against Whitney, Illya.

[ Tiamat and Bahamut give out roars of confirmation at this. ]

[Hydra's not sure what his bigger form is roaring about, but he chimes in with a squeaky cry of his own, while Typhon growls and flexes her wings, grinning like the landshark she is.]

Yep! But don't wait that long to come see us, alright? Saber's probably told you already, but the Center's open to you.

She has. I'll make sure to visit the Breeding Center first. I'll see you later, okay?

[ Bahamut waves his own wings while Tiamat unwraps one arm from Xion's neck and gives a wave herself. ]

Alright. Bye, Xion!

[And she clicks off the gear after a wave of her own.]
