Balanced

Go!

"That's a very stupid idea."

"Do you have a better one?"

Lapis was quiet after that. He managed to convince Sage and Lapis to help him at least with Sucrose. Since she wasn't exactly close with any of the others, they just had to pray they could handle this. Minun was asleep on Lapis's head while Fearow was flying quietly near them. Buizel stayed near Dijon's feet as they neared the center of Sucrose's storm.

"Ready?"

"No... but let's get this over with..."

~_~

Dijon's styler moved quickly through the pokemon while the duo worked to talk to Sucrose. In the end, Lapis finally broke down, which got her to at least listen. Dijon wasn't really listening to what was said, but Lapis's meltdown started bridging the gap. Sucrose was able to get back to her normal form, so they focused on calming Lapis down. Perfect.

Chris was a bit harder. The others didn't want to help, but Elita was more than willing to get in the way. And when you have two stylers working on the same storm, it goes a lot faster. They got to the center with ease.

"You got this?"

"Yeah. Pretty sure."

"Really?"

"Go back to what you were doing." Dijon chuckled as she charged forward.

While he wasn't paying attention to their talk, he had to help them after. Chris, in a haze, had accidentally hit the Base Leader. He went over and helped the other male get her to the nearest base.

"I-"

"Chris."

~_~

"Nicely done."

Dijon nodded as he and Joel watched the four argue over something. Joel sighed as he looked at the sky.

"Now comes the hard part."

"Yeah. You." Joel nodded softly.

"You sure you got this?"

"Yeah. You focus on yourself."
