Rai nodded, " I've never been more serious about anything in my life and I doubt I ever will be." he replied to Nec as he closed his eyes, sensing the aura's around them.<br/><br/>" All right you guys.. This is going to be a long and tough journey, we'll meet many Pokémon, both good and evil. Are you all sure you can do this?" he asked, smiling at the young Ralts. Rai closed his eyes once more, this time acknowledging Berny's statement, " I did what I had too.. I didn't wish to see a fellow Pokémon hurt."<br/><br/>Rai paused then eyed Rose nervously, " It's not you.. I'm just uneasy about you being so hyper." he spoke, not used to her spastic nature. Rai glanced up then over to the hybrid he'd spoken to earlier, " E-Excuse me? Would you like to help us?" he asked, his tail lowering, fearing a negative answer.
