[ She's been contemplating this, yes, ever since she got her ass handed back to her by Vanitas. She's lost, sure, many times in fact... but this one in particular... ]

How... when do you know you're strong? That you're not weak?

[ She might end that last sentence in a bitter hiss. Sure, she's lost, but when it involves her friends (and Pokemon), it becomes another thing. She couldn't beat Vanitas, came out even more battered, and well aware her appearance would worry friends. So lately she's been hanging around the roof of Goldenrod City's Department Store.

It sounds like she's going to say more, but whatever it is dissolves into a sigh and stops. ]

That's what makes them strong. The most important things are more often the hardest ones.

... But it seems like, even if you have all those things, if you don't have the physical power... it might not be much.

Physical power helps, I won't lie. But the same can be said about it. You can be the strongest person in the universe, physically, but if you don't have the strength in your heart. You're not strong.

Sometimes, you just need to accept that you need help. That's also part of being strong and smart. Trying to do everything on your own...while tempting, doesn't help you much.

Mm. I can believe that. [ She does, but recent events just... urrgh. ]

Even if it might worry others?

It's hard, I know. But sometimes you need your friends to back you up. Even if that might make them worry.

Yeah, I see.

Then you're strong?

I-I like to think I am. Having my friends with me certainly makes me feel strong.

That's good. Friends... make things that more bearable.

[ She just... Yeah, been in enough trouble already she makes up a good portion of worry. ]

Yes. [A slight pause]

I'm sure, whatever it is that is giving you trouble, you'll make it through. Just don't lose sight of your goal and keep your friends close.

Ah... I'll try. Thank you very much...?

Oh! I'm Megan.

Thank you, Megan. I'm Xion.

It's not a problem, Xion. And I know we've just met, but I hope to be good friends. Good luck with everything.

I'd like that very much, Megan. The same goes for you. Maybe one day we can meet.
