Adell frowns, and turns to face the same way Gwendolyn is. The greater Psychic pokemon, the monstrously powerful one. His head pounded thinking about that psychic wave still... he knew for sure he wouldn't be able to stand up to it directly.
He'd already seen combat against gods, and how terrifying they were when turned against you. But this time... that one could easily best him in a direct fight. It'd be suicide to take him on, especially if he had enough power to shoot out waves of Psychic energy that practically couldn't be avoided.
To be honest? He was actually afraid of their leader. Suddenly, Orpheus's constant trembling and teleporting away at the slightest provocation made a lot of sense. He knew this was coming. And he knew just how dangerous it was going to be.
But fear couldn't win the day. The Enlightened and brave citizens of Union were all that stood between Mewtwo and oblivion.
He finally spoke though, after collecting his thoughts.
"We hope that we sent a message by refusing to fight his friend, and talking them down from the mission. And ideally, we can do the same to him.
We've convinced gods that we're worth standing beside. But this one is our problem. If we somehow created this problem to begin with, we have to answer for it... by never letting it happen again.
And we're on our way. We just have to show him that too. And we have to be completely clear of heart and conscience to do that. And I believe we are."
He remembered back to his Mom, who was a Psychic Enlightened herself... and how she could always see right through him and his siblings if they had done something wrong. Though he was always honest to begin with, it did teach him a lot about not lying to yourself either.
Who knew something like that might matter so much now?
"...We have to try. We'll fight as an absolute last resort. But we have to show him that we're not the same as the people who hurt him and his friends."
