<span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">When she was just a Weedle, Xena hadn't really thought about much more than eating and defending herself.  But after her capture by Davey, as she learned he was named, she felt wanted and appreciated.  None of the other Weedles she'd hatched with had spoken to her about humans and travel.  Davey wanted her to fight for him, but it felt good and it made her stronger!  His commands to her actually helped her, because sometimes she had wished she'd made other decisions when she was defending herself.  And then... she evolved into a Kakuna!<br/>
<br/>
Xena somehow linked her fighting for Davey with the speed at which she had grown.  Even now, just being carried by him in her nearly paralyzed form, seeing things she'd never see as a Weedle or a Kakuna, she felt even more wanted and appreciated!  The other pokémon talked a bit, but Xena hadn't thought she had much to say.  Now, Xena finally had something she wanted to say to Davey and the others, so she did, even though she could hardly move or speak loudly:  "... kakuna ... (My trainer is the best trainer, ever)".</span><br/>

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">Things had been going fine, even if Davey did have to put up with the presence of the other men.  The route that they were traveling was full of possibilities and Davey was sure that he'd eventually get another chance to tell Jackie about how she made him feel about her....  Then, unexpectedly, she made a suggestion about breaking up their group into two teams by drawing straws!  If they did that, the odds were that she'd team up with Toorop or, worse, Jason!  But if he protested then she might be disappointed that he didn't like her idea!  His mind turned in trying to think of the best solution....<br/>
<br/>
"...  kakuna ..."  Xena softly said with no seeming urgency or excitement.  Davey suddenly felt very happy, even if he didn't know what she was saying.  He squeezed her hardened body a little tighter for a bit and then held her as he had been before.  Everything would be alright.<br/>
<br/>
Davey spoke to Jackie and the other two, saying, "I'm having a good time, right now, but if you all want to break into smaller teams I suppose that might be okay."</span></span>
