"And how many of those battles were fought time and again against the self-same foe that you did not have the strength of conviction to vanquish?," Tsuru asked, raising his voice. "How many times did old enemies rear their heads to inflict suffering and death on innocents you could've spared? How many times was the shadow of your nemesis cast over the helpless because your enemy's disciples held onto hope for their master's release--a hope you could've denied them?," Tsuru asked pointedly. "That tragedy has replayed itself over and over throughout the annals of my people's history, when naive compassion and noble sensibilities reign over rational thinking! How many lives, lives beyond counting, could've been spared had those unblemished heroes sullied their blades and cloaks with the blood of their enemies. But no, they were too weak to do what needed to be done, and instead damned those who depended upon them most!" Tsuru sat back, his fury spent. "I will leave no such legacy for future generations. I will bear the burden of guilt, that future generations might live free from the shadow of fear and the yoke of cruel masters. And if you would damn me and look upon me as a monster for that, then so be it! But remember this, little Hero, my lifespan is measured in years, not millennia. I do not have the luxury of such time to dwell upon these philosophies," he finished, practically spitting the last line. |

Keldo started to say something but Shaymin lifted her hand. "Enough!" she said sternly making the knight stand down "Arguing among yourselves will accomplish nothing." "We are on the same side so fighting is needless." She said. "Now than let's have a meal." She said snapping her fingers as a tree sprouted up with several types of fruit growing out of it. "These fruit will restore you and your friends, all injures will be mended and energy restored." She offered to Tsuru. |

"It would be better to settle these differences here and now, rather than for them to come to the fore in the midst of battle. But it is your sanctuary, and I will abide by your request," Tsuru said. Tsuru had serious reservations about entering any battle beside this Keldeo. Were he to slay an enemy before Keldeo...or were Keldeo to try and stay his hand...that would only lead to conflict in the face of the enemy. And that could prove disastrous. "Thank you for your generosity," Tsuru said, taking some of the fruit for himself and his pokemon, which he released to allow them to eat. |

All of the pokemon got some fruit and began to eat. All of the grass pokemon approached Shaymin seeming to sense something about her. "Hello all of you." She said with a bow. |

"I suppose some introductions are in order," Tsuru said. "This is Yoko, my longest held companion," he said, motioning to the Ninetales. "Yozan, traded to me by a dear friend," he indicated the Breloom. "Makai, who I obtained during my duties as a Guardian, as well as Ojigi and Toge," he said, motioning to the Yanma, Tangela, and Ferroseed in turn. "And the young one is named Okunenju. He is the last of a group of forest spirits, corrupted with aberrancy. To my knowledge, he alone was spared the affliction, and I have taken to caring for him," he said, motioning to the Phantump. "Everyone, this is Shaymin, the Maiden of Lush Fields, and Keldeo, a the Young Foolish Hero. He is a Knight," Tsuru said, giving the introductions, though Yoko did not need one. |

Okunenju floated over to her nuzzling her. "This young young is quite a bit weaker than any of the others...Would you like for me to help him grow stronger?" She asked. |

"If you would, I'm sure he would appreciate it," Tsuru said. "When it comes to handling young ones, I'm quite at a loss...," he confessed. |

"Come with me little one." She said leading Okunenju off. "Feel free to speak with anyone." She called back. |

With Shaymin leaving him carte blanche to talk to 'anyone', his gaze returned to Keldeo. "If we're to be allies in the coming battles, then we must come to an understanding of one another," he said calmly. "I have said my piece, but I believe you had more to say regarding our earlier discussion? Or would you rather I recount the stories of how these pokemon came to be my companions, perhaps?" |

"There's no need, I can sense exactly how much they care for you." He said "It is a gift shared between me and my brothers." "All of them trust you with their lives, Yoko in particular." He said looking at the fox "He is a noble soul, We're he born into the Court he would hold a position of great importance." "And I mean the golden day of the Court, before there was any talk of this needless war." Keldo corrected. |
