Weeks had passed again and Sheba returned to the shrine once more, a small army of chatting Pokémon around and on her. When she reached her goal, she tried her best to hush all her little friends.
"So this is where I came into these lands." Delos climbed from Sheba's shoulder and looked at the shrine. "I still can't understand why the legendary Pokémon picked me, but I suppose I won't find an answer to that just by returning here. This is not what this shrine is about, after all."
"Yeah, what are we going to wish for this time?" Napey asked. "Another Pokémon? We're already quite a few, you know."
"I know, I know." Sheba sighed. "So you suggest to pray for something else? Is anyone having any strong wishes like Feary had the last time?"
"Well, we have Pie now, so I got my female company. More would still be nice, but eh. I'm good." Feary ruffled her feathers and none of the other Pokémon seemed to have any specific things in mind.
"Well, I admit, given the fact that the legendary Pokémon have been very nice to us in the past, I did think about one or two stronger attacks I wish you guys would learn..." Sheba began.
"But...?" Pie nudged Sheba from her place on her shoulder.
"Um..." Sheba laughed nervously. "You know I love all you guys to pieces, but I wonder if maybe I should wish for my favourite Pokémon..."
"Oh, that's supposed to be good! It's something strong, right? We could use some high-leveled help", Glammy approved. "Nothing wrong with that."
"Actually, my favourite Pokémon...how do I put this...?"
"I know! It's Feebas!" Bronzy chimed from above. "She thinks Feebas is super-cute and wants to have one since forever."
There was a long silence when everyone looked at Sheba, who smiled a bit strained. "Yes, well...it's true."
"Feebas." Delos sighed. "That's an...interesting choice, to put it that way."
"Yeah, 'interesting'." "Totally." "Very special." "Don't hear that one very often."
"So, um, would that be okay with you guys?" Sheba carefully asked.
The Pokémon looked at each other and shrugged.
"Well, since none of us had something to offer to begin with, I suppose it is?" Napey tried slowly and no one diasgreed.
"Oh, thank you so much!" Sheba sighed in relief and then knelt down to pray. "Oh legendary Pokémon, I am most grateful for all you have done for me so far. Yet I have again returned with another wish in my heart. I wish for a Feebas with all my might! I promise I would take really good care of it and give it lots of love! Thank you so much, should you consider fulfilling my wish..."
She leaned back. "There, done."
"And now we wait." Delos sat down. "Can't wait to see if something happens."
