[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]Après le deluge, nous.

[attr="class","aurelie_body"]When she finally was able to return to Lilycove City after the invasion of Sootopolis by Kyogre and the opportunistic League, Aurelie was heartbroken to see the damage wrought by the flooding. I had no idea it was so widespread, she thought somberly, surveying the wrecked buildings particularly along the coastline, including restaurants and shops that she'd loved.

Homes, cars, and trees had been knocked over, broken open, or simply swept away entirely by the rapidly rising sea. Even Aurelie's own store and workshop, further inland, was left with shattered glass, sodden carpets, and furniture knocked over. Knives, tools, and metal billets rusted and corroded on the floor, and most of her workshop equipment simply wasn't turning on.

It was awful, and what made it worse was that she knew full well she wasn't experiencing the absolute worst of it. But how could we have protected against this? she thought grimly. How could we even know even other cities would have to worry about Kyogre's power even when it's nowhere near them?

When other shopkeepers and business owners in the area asked if she could help with reconstruction efforts taking place in the area, Aurelie said yes immediately. She followed the woman who normally ran the bespoke tailoring shop next to her store over to another street next to a small park.

Several stations were set up around the park next to some waterlogged flower beds. Some volunteers distributed food and supplies at one station, another had volunteers taking down information from a line of survivors, and a third seemed to be occupied with building temporary shelters for anyone who lost their homes entirely.

Well, I know where my skills lie, Aurelie reflected wryly, unable to summon enough humor to even smirk at herself over it, and it's not in being soothing. Or being patient and sweet with people.

She headed straight to the third station, brought out her hammer, and was immediately pointed to an area where wooden joists and beams were being nailed together. Soon, the redhead was absorbed in the familiar work of measuring, aligning, hammering, and constructing.

It felt good to help, though it was tiring and thirsty work. After about an hour, Aurelie paused for a moment and looked around, with her arms aching, hands cramping, and throat feeling distinctly dry. "Any chance we could get some bottled water over here too?" she asked hopefully.

Flooding had reached the city that Elise used to call home until her own house was destroyed by the waters. While she lived in Verdanturf now, that was more of a temporary living situation until she can get a new home. Elise had volunteered to help the cityfolk with reconstruction of the city’s wrecked buildings including the homes, restaurants, and shops that the Galarian royal loved frequenting when she was in Lilycove.[break][break]

While the royal diplomat herself doesn’t have the skills to build temporary shelters for those who were homeless, her Magearna helps the other human volunteers with holding up the structures on those shelters together. Elise’s one job was to bring food and water to those who were working when Artemis returns back to her after helping a middle aged man with his shelter’s structure.[break][break]

Among those other volunteers, the royal spots the familiar face of the red-headed blacksmith that she commissioned a training sword from. Now, she did feel bad about making such an outrageous request to the poor blacksmith who worked harder than the idle Galarian nobility. A blacksmith’s job was to make sure that the customer was able to use their tool effectively too.[break][break]

Well, to be fair, she probably was subject to seeing a lot of the ornamental swords being used for ceremonies.[break][break]

With her hands, Artemis picks up a bottle of water and several other bottles to take to the blacksmith plus the other working volunteers while the royal Galarian Ambassador approaches the working red-headed lady. “Hello Miss Lefevre, it’s very nice to see you again.” A smile comes from the royal ambassador as Audrey the Magearna sets down the bottle of water for the blacksmith to take along with setting down the other bottles. “I wish to give you an apology for how I acted last time. That was unbecoming of me to not greet you when I came to commission you and I always have trouble with interacting with others socially. For that, I cannot blame you if you think I acted coldly towards you.”

[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]Après le deluge, nous.

[attr="class","aurelie_body"]Once, not that long ago, Aurelie had been grouchy and peevish about what she perceived as a certain Galarian princess' impoliteness and superficiality when they first met. Once, even the memory of that princess' cavalier manner and focus on form over function had flabbergasted and irritated her.

Now, though, amidst the quiet weeping and hand-wringing of grieving, baffled civilians, with the image of Sootopolis under attack from a maddened Kyogre and swarming League trainers, with the shocking news of Mossdeep's ruin and Rocket's changes, Elise's commission seemed very far in the past. When the princess greeted her, Aurelie floundered for a moment to recall who she was and why she knew her.

Gratefully chugging the water Elise handed her, the redhead blinked owlishly up at her and then offered a weak smile. "Thanks for the water! And oh...hello. Um, Miss Calcifet, isn't it? Or your Highness, I guess. It's, uh, nice to see you again too."

She flushed and shook her head quickly when Elise made her apology. "Oh, well, thank you. For saying sorry and for letting me know. I misjudged you, but I...probably should've realized. But no harm done. It was a long time ago, after all."

And a lot has certainly happened since then, she thought mournfully. Draining the last of the water, Aurelie swiveled her head swiftly when she caught a familiar flash of white. Her eye widened when she recognized the very Pokemon she'd paired together herself: Calyrex and a Magearna.

"Oh, right, I forgot that you have a Calyrex!" she blurted out impulsively, before silently panicking that she'd given herself away. But no, she had it with her during the cooking contest, didn't she? she remembered. And maybe the League made the news public too.

Aurelie seized the opportunity eagerly, not only out of curiosity and an ardent desire to know, but also because it afforded a respite from dwelling on their melancholy situation. "It's not the same as the one at the Dyna Tree, is it? The one in Ever Grande City, I mean."

That hopefully makes me sound nice and innocent and ignorant, the redhead thought. Aloud, she added, "What is it like? Does it follow all your orders, even though it's a king? Does it ever speak to you?"

Waves of relief wash over the ambassador when Aurelie says that it was water under the bridge now. The day of the commission was so long ago that the current war situation overshadowed that. Petalburg’s fall made her think a lot more on how she was going to help Rustboro’s security along with the gym leader.[break][break]

“I’m happy that you forgive me, Miss Lefevre.” She responds kindly to the red-headed woman before the attention is called over to the Calyrex shard that accompanies the princess’ Magearna. Elise expects that people would take notice, given that she has taken the shard everywhere to learn about the region itself.[break][break]

“Oh… Yes, that’s my Calyrex. His name is Charles.” Elise isn’t ashamed to admit that she had given her shard a name, an easy one to remember than just Calyrex. “Um… well, yes. He is not the same one as the one in Ever Grande’s Dyna Tree. He’s more of a piece of himself that the High King bestowed to me."[break][break]

Elise recalls that day well. The High King trusts her with the shard enough that he’d watch over how her progress was doing in learning newer things as a ruler figure.[break][break]

“Since he’s not the same as the real King, Charles is more of a baby that I’m taking care of. He follows my orders, both in and out of battle.” The Galarian royal answers Aurelie’s questions at a time and she’ll answer her last with a shake of her head. “He cannot speak since he lacks the ability to possess a person to speak through as a vessel, only that he says crown like his own name.”

[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]Après le deluge, nous.

[attr="class","aurelie_body"]Aurelie was surprised to notice the look of relief that suffused Elise's expression when she waved away her minor breaches in etiquette when they first met long ago. It made the redhead wonder how long the princess had also been dwelling on that meeting—and how bad she'd felt about it. She almost felt a little guilty for holding it against Elise as much as she had.

But only a little. And only for a moment, until her focus shifted onto Elise's Calyrex, which the princess seemed happy to talk about, thankfully. And the redhead was more than happy to listen, of course, and to think about what she learned from Elise.

So, she too thought a Magearna would be a good companion for the Calyrex shard, she reflected as she watched and listened. Hers are getting along well too, I think. I hope mine do the same. And what she says so far matches up with what I know too...

Aurelie nodded along attentively to each courteous and forthcoming answer offered by the princess. "That's fascinating," she sighed, sincerely. "And so strange! But then, I've never heard of a Legendary that wasn't strange in some way, frankly."

With what she hoped was a disarming smile, she hastened to add, "No offense meant! I say this with all due respect for all Legendaries, of course, and yours in particular.

"Though I must say, a baby Pokemon..." Aurelie paused and shook her head ruefully, a faint smile curling her lips despite herself. "That sounds absolutely adorable in practice, but I bet it's probably a lot of work in real life! Though at least I hope you don't have to feed it or change the shard's diapers every few hours."

She turned an amused glance toward the Calyrex, before bowing her head respectfully to it. "It's an honor and a pleasure to make your acquaintance...Charles." Such a typical Galarian name, she couldn't help thinking. Aren't all the Galarian kings named things like Charles, Henry, or James?

"Does he answer to the name?" she asked, looking back at Elise. "And...do you know why the High King gave you a shard of itself? Is there something that it wants you to teach the shard? Or...is there something it wants you to gain from its shard?"

The hammer dangled loosely from Aurelie's hand as she spoke. Her attention was focused solely on Elise now, not on the shelter she should've been building for the flood survivors in Lilycove.

In retrospect, a shard born out of the League’s Calyrex had a fragment of its power and an energy known as Infinity Energy. That much was told to her by the director of Project SAPPHIRE. She knows it’s the energy that comes from Mega Evolution and the life energy of all living things. [break][break]

But that was a question about Infinity Energy that still makes Elise wonder if Infinity Energy was used for Avatarship powers like her cousin’s.[break][break]

“Well thankfully, I do not think I need to do such things with the shard. He can take care of himself.” The ambassador laughs a little softly, not that she’d imagine trying to change diapers on a very young prince like hers. “But he is the closest to an infant or a child that I express maternally for as his mother figure.”[break][break]

With more things that the red-headed blacksmith wanted to know about the shard after her greeting to the ambassador’s shard, Elise is happy to answer them in every way she can.[break][break]

“He answers to the name, yes.” She nods while the second question comes. There probably were many reasons why the League’s Calyrex chose Elise than the Leaguers that were there at the event. “And I know that the High King gave me a shard of himself because he desires to see how much I’ve learned as a leader and how I, as a leader myself, handle conflicts. In some way, I suppose he wants to see everything in Hoenn through the proxy being my shard and watches my experiences.”[break][break]

That was the only thing she knows of the League’s Calyrex’s request. He had high hopes for her.[break][break]

"But...I always have doubts of whether I am truly fit to be the ruler my late uncle was before my aunt took over the throne."[break][break]

A last somber note is said by the princess, whether she was a good successor for her people or not, considering that she too abandoned the very people and country she loved.
