"Perhaps all can be redeemed," Tsuru granted her with a nod, "but that does not mean they are deserving of that opportunity. What's more, to try and imprison them would put those who fight them at greater risk. As I am sure you are aware, pokeballs sometimes fail, regardless of the care taken in their crafting. To ask others to risk themselves on the hope that a murderer of women and children is not beyond redemption...that is much to ask."

Tsuru paused for a moment. "You have a kind heart," he said after some time. "Kind hearts have no place in war."

"The ones made by you humans." She said calling Keldo over. He had a box in his hands and looked very unhappy. Opening it there was a ball resting in it, one that looked to be made of gold and silver.

"This is a special ball capable of sealing a Noble, Once it has captured them it feeds off of their own power to keep them in place." She said.

"It cannot fail..." she said.

"And I suppose you would have me use it to imprison Virizion, rather than slay him?," Tsuru asked, practically scoffing at the notion. "There to fester with all his anger toward me for killing Terrakion, and whatever ire I gained from our battle to come? I am not so simple," Tsuru said.

"Better to put an end to him and be done with it once and for all, rather than to have the possibility of his escape looming over me for the rest of my days," he said, waving his hand at the ball.

"It is an option and in a way far more cruel..." She said handing it to Tsuru.

"If nothing else keep it as as insurance..It will work on any Noble save the King himself."

Tsuru stared at the ball, practically glaring at it, but eventually he took it.

"Understand that simply because I have taken this does not mean I will use it," Tsuru said pointedly. "I trust it works much like any other pokeball? I must weaken my target first, and I can only use it once?"

"Yes, But it has a very high chance of working." She said "I do not expect that you will use it but I like to think that it can serve as a sign of good faith between us."

"As can this." She said taking a flower from her dress and tapping it spilling a single seed.

"This is imbued with my power and will let you use my most powerful ability but only once." She said handing it to Tsuru.

Tsuru looked at her skeptically, taking the seed and placing it into a small hidden pocket up his sleeve.

"Why give me such boons when you know the gulf that exists between our methods?," he asked bluntly.

"Think of it as a first step toward creating some peace...I do hope you do not use it...But I would rather someone like the Knight die than a man such as you."

Tsuru was quiet for quite some time after that, as he thought about what Shaymin had said.

"I see...I cannot promise that I will never use what you have given me...but I can promise that I will not use them lightly. I will exercise discretion in their employ. On that, you have my word...and my thanks."

"That is all that I can hope for. I am a pacifist but I am not an idiot." She said "While I wish to see things solved peacefully I do not fool myself into thinking that it will be possible without bloodshed, All I can do is keep it to a minimum."
