Lutgarde has mounted Oreo for the current trip, seeing as Shalin chose to saddle one of her own many quadrupedals. Sylv is also loafing comfortably in front of the saddle, but his comfortable stance is a lie to the attentive eyes - he knows of the dangers of the region, even if they're, today, not on duty for that.

"Hmm, a favourite?" they echo, wondering. Legendaries have never been of much consideration for them - they all seemed to distant to their day-to-day that they probably don't even know that many, unless some urban myth is tied to them. (They really loved urban mythologies, the whisper of the streets.) "I think I've always thought of ... Xerneas? as quite neat," they eventually say. "What about you?"

In Hoenn, too, it seems like legends are way, way more real than they used to be in Kalos, at least for them. It seems impossible here not to get mixed up somehow in whatever shakes the region at the moment.

Shalin looked a bit confused, not being familiar with the Kalosian myths. "Which one is that?" she asked, having never been exposed to the horrors that bryan delarosa 's Patron inflicted upon Mauville's Gym Leader at Dewford's resurfaced island. "Haven't heard of that myth before." Were Lutgarde to elaborate, Shalin would quickly become interested.

Once they were done, Shalin would answer her own question. "My favorite is Keldeo of the Swords of Justice. I've actually met Hoenn's Keldeo, and they were... a lot smaller than the Unovan legends depicted them to be." Perhaps the Terastal mists would be able to bring the Keldeo she knew of to life. Who knew what would form from them? Perhaps even a Pokémon they had never seen before.

Shalin gently tapped Lathiel's sides, the Type: Null starting to walk toward the entrance to the Giant Chasm's lower level. "Ready to head inside and beneath the cloud layer?"

"The myth's quite well-known in Kalos," Lutgarde replies to Shalin's confusion, and explains further, "It's forming a duo, sort of, with Yveltal, and they both maintain the balance between life and death. Xerneas has the ... well, more favourable job of being sort of a lifebringer? In our village, we had a really old tree which supposedly has been touched by Xerneas before. Have not ever seen it myself, however," they add, looking ahead - tera crystals en masse, capable of even terastallising Sylv without a Tera Orb.

As Shalin shares her favourite legend, it's up to Lutgarde to be in the unknown. "The Swords of Justice?" they ask, curious. "Reminds me of the dog with the sword I saw with Josh in the simulation the other day ..." they ponder. Would this be similiar? They chuckle a bit at Shalin's remark about its size, nodding in agreement, "Who knows? Guess we got to find out."

Oreo's neighing softly as they approach the entrance to the cavern, seemingly on high alert. Lutgarde pats their shoulder reassuringly, before nodding. "Let's head in and see what we'll find!"
