"We also protect each other," Orihime replied. She was still tense and holding her defensive stance, but seeing that the armored Pokemon was actually listening to them was a good sign. "Humans, Pokemon, anyone who wants to live here is welcome."

Orihime quieted a moment, studying the psychic Pokemon. While she could feel their pain and frustration, she didn't know what had caused them to feel that way in the first place. She could promise paradise, but that wouldn't matter if it wasn't what they wanted.

Slowly she made herself relax. "What happened...?" Did the others already know? If so, Orihime was definitely in the dark about this.
