"You all want to learn more about me and my system, but you also wanted to keep Ultra Space, and the timelines safe. Our interests don't completely line up, and neither do our end goals, but we can still work together regardless," I explained as Jolene leaned back into me.
Seeming to ignore everything I just said, Soliera pointed to Jolene, and then the other women. There was a clear look of confusion on her face, but seeing a harem of women for the first time had to be a shocker. I still found it hard to believe most of the time.
"Why do all you women hang off him?" She asked, but there was no spite or venom in her words, just an honest question. An honest question that I didn't have the answer to, so I looked to Joy, the first person that I caught.
Joy smiled at Soliera's question. "It's not just about hanging off him. We have a unique connection with Landon. When he catches us, it's not just a physical bond; it's also emotional and spiritual. We share a deep connection, and it's something we all willingly embrace. Landon treats us with respect, cares for us, and we, in turn, support him in his journey."
Lusamine added, "It's been a rough road for Landon and me. We were both forced into it, but he never forced himself on me. In the end, I chose to be with Landon. It's a bond that goes beyond the physical, and it's what makes our connection special."
Nemona grinned, her fiery spirit evident. "And it's not just about the catching. We all have unique abilities and skills that contribute to the team. We're partners in every sense, and together, we make a formidable force."
"And what about you, Jolene?" Soliera asked, and Tallia's mother blushed, even though she was the one sitting in my lap.
"Little old me? I am just waiting for him to woo my daughter over, and then I will also be joining them. Landon is a special boy, and I knew it from the moment that I first met him," Jolene smiled, and then gave Soliera a knowing look. "You know he is special too, right?" Jolene purred, making Soliera pull back slightly, and cough.
"Woo your daughter? And then you?” Soliera asked, clearly out of her depths, but then she shook her head. “Well, I am interested in what this Prisma looks like, and I also want to study the environment. Considering that this place is a Dimension within Ultra Space, there is a good chance we can apply the same things to Ultra Megalopolis. Currently, we live in eternal darkness, and it is the reason why we wear these full-body suits," Soliera explained, and I nodded.
It made sense why they would be so interested in Prisma, but Jolene had just weeded out one of their true intentions. They wanted to join my team, but was that wise? It wasn't like I had a shortage of women right now, and as Dulse said, it took a certain level of connection for it to work.
"That seems like a good idea, but there are certain steps to join, and I am not just accepting anyone. Dulse wasn't wrong about needing to make a connection, or why I only have female partners," I explained, and Soliera nodded.
"I know exactly what needs to be done, and I know that you will not fall in love with me overnight," Soliera said plainly, making Jolene giggle, and jump out of my arms. I swore she acted more childlike than any of us most of the time, but she also could flip the switch and go full-on adult mode.
"I like this one! She pretends that it is just for her job, but I can clearly see that she wants to join!" Jolene laughed, taking Soliera's now blushing face in her hands.
"Alright then, if you're willing to abide by the process and understand the implications, we can discuss the steps to join," I replied, looking at Soliera. "But before we delve into that, let's continue discussing the situation at hand. We need a plan to address the Endbringers and monitor the anomalies. Any insights or information you have would be valuable."
Soliera nodded, her professional demeanor returning. "Of course, addressing the immediate threats is our priority. Based on what we know, the Endbringers operate across multiple dimensions, and they've been targeting legendary Pokémon for their own gains. We need to gather more intelligence on their activities, their members, and their potential objectives."
Dulse chimed in, "Our main challenge is tracking their movements through Ultra Space. They seem to be able to traverse dimensions with ease, and that's a significant advantage. If we can find a way to trace their path or predict their movements, it would greatly aid our efforts to counteract their actions."
Zossie added her thoughts, "Additionally, we should focus on fortifying the defenses of this dimension. It appears to be a prime target due to the anomalies related to Prisma. Establishing a network to monitor and respond to any unauthorized entry or disturbances in Ultra Space would be crucial."
"Now that we have made contact, I will get a hold of Captain Phyco, and get everything that we need sent over. There is a good chance that the Endbringers are already in this dimension," Soliera explained, but I frowned at this.
"Wouldn't you know if they came here? You might not be able to predict where they are going, but you can tell where they have been right?" I asked, and Zossie nodded with a scowl.
"That is true, but we can't track them if they have always been here. There have been other Ultra Space Wormholes that have opened in this timeline, but they were long ago. They could be Endbringers, or something else. We can only go back so far due to how many different timelines we are responsible for," Zossie explained, but she seemed mad doing it.
