[Subaru looked over at Astral and his Pokemon. His Pokemon were indeed in their own Pokeballs, but it was heartening to see all three of them evolve at nearly the same time while they had been traveling down Route 4 and through the Resort Desert. It felt as if they had been responding to their goal, the need to help Yuuma and Astral.

But having his own Pokemon being kept in Pokeballs only made him feel more bothered whenever he looked back at the others, having no Pokeballs to retreat into.]

I'm faring well enough. I should be asking you and your Pokemon about that. Kuribolt especially...
