Beige smiled as she watched the sky. A small figure danced in the air. It paused as it looked down at her.

"You're doing great. Keep it up." It nodded as it kept going. Cream went over with Sharky at her side.

"Beige?" She turned to the taller girl.

"Yes?"

"I was wondering if you knew anything about something..."

"Yeah? What is it?" Cream gulped.

"A Delta Legendary... I've heard it twice since I've left Johto. Do you know anything about them?" She hummed.

"You're not going to tell anyone about this, right?"

"No... this is just my own curiosity." Beige nodded before looking up at the figure.

"Darling! Can you come here?" It paused before flying down to them. Cream paused at the sight.

"I was going to show this eventually. This would be a Delta Legendary. More of a Mythical, but..." She smiled softly. "They're only really in Holon. There's only five of them, three legendaries and two mythicals. And they all protect like their unmutated forms do. However these guys are learning and need guidance in order to grow and do more. That's why they seek out to choose a special person to be their guardian as soon as they can so that they can get that guidance." Cream hummed as Beige turned to her. "Where'd you hear that term?" She gulped.

"One was while I was here. Some people were talking about finding three of them. Another was back in Torren. A guy that me and my traveling partner came across mentioned it like he knew about it. I listened to their conversation after I 'left' and both of them knew about the legendaries and mythicals. I just wanted to know how it was more significant. The guy must've thought I was chosen by one... but I haven't seen one..." Beige hummed.

"Let me see..." She touched her arm and murmured something. A symbol appeared on it. It was hard to see. "I can see why. This is a legendary symbol. I don't recognize it, though..." Cream gulped. "Maybe yours is still waiting for you to find it. It took me a while to find mine." She turned to it. "Right, Mimag?" It nodded as it looked at Cream's. Its eyes lit up. A shocking voice escaped it.

"Ndiyayiqonda loo phawu! Leyo yiDelta Hoopa!"

(I recognize that symbol! That's a Delta Hoopa!)

"A... what?" Cream asked quietly, shocked at how easily she understood. Beige smiled.

"A Delta Hoopa... that's a tricky one. I believe I know how to find it... but it'll take some time. Or it might come to you. Be ready for that." Cream nodded. Beige's eyes flashed. "Mimag, back into the air." It shot up and was in the clouds before Maple entered the area. Cream covered up her symbol as the two girls turned to him.

"What are you two up to?"

"Right back at you, Maple. What are you doing?" He hummed.

"None of your business. Have you seen what happened with Velvet?"

"No..." She murmured. He held up his camera.

"Two deltas, Regis to be exact, were fighting and she split them up. I have it all on camera. It was surprising how well she did it." Beige held out her hand.

"Let me see." He handed it over and she looked at it.

Velvet never used any words as she raced in and blocked Registeel's attack. Regice stopped as she pushed the magma flowing delta as she pushed it to the side. Finally words came as she stood between them. Beige watched her mouth.

'それを分割するか、私は投げ始めるつもりです！'

(Split it up or I'm going to start throwing!)

The duo paused before they started towards their respective homes with their heads down. She huffed before sending a glare towards the camera, no doubt at Maple. The video stopped after that. Beige hummed.

"Interesting..." He huffed.

"I don't know how she did it. Registeel is made of magma, so she should've been decimated. Yet she stands tall and I haven't seen any injuries. Then again, she went right out to the field." Indigo hummed as she handed the camera.

"As the captain of the Dexters, I have to go check her." She turned to Cream. "Would you come with me?" Cream nodded as they headed out.

***

They found Velvet sneaking up on a Delta Dratini. They fell quiet so that she could approach it. Her camera rested in her hands as she paused. With a soft breath, she was able to snap a picture before it ran away. She smiled as she checked the picture.

"Perfect..." Beige smiled as she went over.

"Velvet?" She turned to her.

"Ah... Beige... What do you need?" Beige scanned her.

"I heard about the fight with the Regis. Are you ok?" Velvet paused before smiling.

"Never felt better!" Beige caught sight of a burn mark on her arm as her sleeve moved. She hummed.

"You're hurt." Velvet paused as she looked away.

"My wounds are for something else."

"But you're wounded from the fight. Let's get you to the medic tent t-" Velvet shook her head.

"Now way in hell. I won these fair and square, hands off." She pulled her sleeve up to hide the burns. Beige frowned as Velvet huffed. "I have to go back to Pine. If you guys jump on me to get heal, I'm murdering all of you and anyone that heals me." The duo stopped as she made her way out of the lake.

"What...?"

***

Velvet arrived at the settlement and handed in her required things. Pine asked about her condition and she admitted to being ok. The others stared as she talked to her smaller pokemon. They were slowly getting stronger as she slowly worked with them. She took them outside to get some training done. Beige hummed as she watched Cream approach the smaller girl. Velvet was giggling as her Croagunk threw punches at her hand. And because it was a fire pokemon, burn marks were scattered across her hand. Cream paused before tapping her shoulder. Velvet looked up and smiled at the taller girl.

"Hey Cream. Whatcha need?" Cream sat down as she watched Croagunk keep going.

"I was curious why you snapped when Beige mentioned getting you healed." Velvet stayed quiet as Croagunk slowed to a stop.

"Good job, Croak. Go rest. Can you grab Chu?" It nodded before going over to the others. She turned to Cream. "The reason is because of what I can do. The wounds don't hurt and I can heal them when I want to. But with what I can do with them, it's truly something I would rather keep them for." She looked at her hand and sighed. With a clap, the scars moved from her right hand to her left. Cream blinked as the Delta Pichu went over. "Ready?" It nodded as it slammed into her freshly cleaned hand. She smiled at its small attacks.

"Velvet... you've never said anything about your background. So..." Velvet hummed as Chu quickly landed some more attacks upon her hand. She giggled lightly.

"Well... I'm from the Riddle Family in Kanto. We're known for our damage taking, vocal and musical talents, and self regenerating abilities. I'm known for pain manipulation and arena control. We are a powerful family with a common weakness. And we don't let it get in the way of victory." She sighed as Chu paused to grab its breath. "I bet once you evolve you'll have more stamina. Go rest and grab Cake." It nodded before walking back to the group. She hummed.

"That... that's amazing..." Cream murmured as the scars shifted to Velvet's left hand.

"Yes..." She smiled. "Which is why I didn't want to get healed. I can heal myself, but I can use those wounds for something else." She growled as Maple neared the five waiting pokemon. "Maple..." He hummed.

"I'm just observing..." Her arm glowed and he yelped.

"Observe with your eyes, not your hands." He clutched his arm where her burn was placed and walked away. She hummed as the Delta Dwebble looked at her. She put out her right hand. "Go." It nodded before throwing attacks out. Cream hummed.

"How do you train Ty? It'll cremate anything." She hummed.

"Let me get through these guys and then I'll show you." She smiled as the little Dwebble paused. "You good?" It nodded. "Yeah.... You need different training... go get Rona?" It nodded as it waddled back. Cream stood up and went to tell Beige her discovery. Beige hummed.

"Interesting..." She smiled. "I guess we better do some skill showing, huh?" Cream nodded.
