Sparktail's angry expression disappeared after hearing Shadow's story. He couldn’t really blame the umbreon for having done this. Himself, he had to sacrifice a part of his freedom to be with the woman he loved. He had to be stuck in the woods, as a pikachu, because it was the best place she could be. There weren't a lot of things Sparktail valued, but trust and friendship were part of it. (except when it was about Magic. Every rule has its exceptions.) He could tell that it had been hard for the poor umbreon and it would have been rude for him to hold anything against him. He had done his duty after all.<br/><br/>Speaking of rudeness, the mew's words startled him. A mew that wanted to make friends? It was as illogical as an important politician going to eat in a small town restaurant. It was unseen, but at the same time, it shown that this pokemon had stayed loyal to his species instead of looking at them from high up and laughing at them behind their back.<br/><br/>The pikachu couldn’t help but chuckles a bit. A mew was there, talking casually with an umbreon and a pachirisu that didn't hate each other. If logic had held an important spot in his mind before, now he wasn't sure about it. Maybe he should just go with the flow. "Bah... sorry... I just thought it was weird for a mew to act like this. But I see everything here is weird, so I guess it makes you normal. Beside, I kind of like this weirdness." he said, with a grin. "Friend?" he asked him, extending his paw.
