Quite some time had passed since Sheba had visited the shrine the last time. That had been when she had just gotten Napey - now she had quite a few more Pokémon following her.
"Here we are again." Sheba petted Bronzy. "Here's where you came to us, Bronzy."
"I faintly recall it, but don't remember how I got here", Bronzy said.
"What should we wish for this time?" Napey asked. "I mean, we already got something last time."
"I agree." Sheba nodded. "We should wish for something simple this time, like a new atta--"
"Nonsense!" Feary walked up to Sheba, her step quite fierce. "We should ask for another Pokémon." She looked at everyone. "A female Pokémon. I'm sick of being the only girl here!"
"Uhm, I'm a girl", Sheba reminded her little friend.
"You don't count, you're human", Feary insisted. "I want female Pokémon-company!"
"I don't think that what you want is really of importance for the legendary Pokémon", Glammy added lazily from his position in Sheba's arms. "I doubt they would listen to a selfish wish like that."
"I understand you, Feary, but really, we're already such a large group..." Sheba sighed. "If our team continues to grow like this, we'll surely pick up another female Pokémon sooner or later."
"Oh, come on now. You got your wish for a Pokémon fulfilled once, why not trying again? You might get someone else from your home."
Sheba paused. That was true. And she would love some more company from home. Maybe the legendary Pokémon would be that nice to her again?
"I'd like that, too", Bronzy added.
Sheba pondered this for a moment. "Okay..." She sighed. "In the worst case, nothing happens, right? And we can always return some other time. Very well. I'll ask for a female Pokémon in Feary's name, but I think also asking for someone from home would be a bit too much. So I'll ask for a Pokémon species I had at home and, should the legendary Pokémon grant the wish, I'll leave it up to them where they get the Pokémon from. Or if they even listen to Feary's part of the wish at all."
"I'm all for this!" Feary seemed pleased.
Sheba knelt down to pray and closed her eyes. "Dear legendary Pokémon...thank you for the wonderful gift you granted me the last time I visited your shrine. I humbly pray to you again with a wish...a wish of mine and also the wish of one of those who travel with me now. My little Spearow wishes for the company of a female Pokémon...and I wish for a Ralts. Thank you for listening to my prayer..."
She took a deep breath and opened her eyes again. "There, was that okay?"
"A psychic Pokémon again?" Napey scratched his head. "You like them or something?"
"I do", Sheba admitted. "Well, I was so impressed by Maevia's beauty, actually, that a Ralts was the first Pokémon coming to my mind. They're cute. I know I'm normally more for the more unwanted Pokémon, but I had a really charming Ralts at home."
"Eh, well, it's your wish." Napey looked up to the sky. "Wonder if they're going to fulfill it again..."
