Amy and Sophie had gone together, Rae had approached Matthias. The others were pretty much strangers to her.
Neith was tempted to go alone, but knew that it would be tactically better to travel in groups.

Neith went with whichever group Cody was in. If she didn’t know anyone, then the chances of arguments would be reduced. She needed time to process what had happened, and this world sure as hell wasn’t going to give it to her. Going with the relative stranger would maybe give her time to herself…
Cody seemed the least likely to strike up a conversation with her on the way.

Plus, out of all the group, she trusted Cody the least. Both the assailant and Team Galactic had both found them mere hours after they met him, and while it was almost certainly a coincidence, part of her felt she should keep an eye on him.



As they walked, Neith kept her head low, looking blankly at the pavement, mind racing.

The attacker had said he was after them because they came through the wormholes. In that case, Fennel and Binary were as much targets as she was, and he had shown that he didn’t have any qualms about killing the pokemon alongside their trainer.
But what about the others? He’d definitely seen Escutcheon, but had he seen the battle before? Were Nemesis and Butterscotch and the Shinx targets too?
If she released her pokemon, would they be safe, or would they be hunted down purely for coming into contact with her? How would he know which pokemon came through the wormhole and which were native to this world?
One thing was for sure, he hadn’t seen Phalanx yet. But he was a baby, barely a day old, and without a family wouldn’t last five seconds in the wild. And if she tried to give him to someone else, there would be a trail leading back to her, and he might become a target too.
So despite the danger, the safest thing was to keep them all with her. Safety in numbers and everything.
But in the back of her mind she worried that perhaps she had convinced herself that was true because she didn’t want to leave herself defenceless, and it was purely selfish reasoning putting them in danger.

Another thought. The Shinx had helped battle against the monstrosity yesterday, but still had no name.
She had been considering multiple names since she caught him, but with the events of the day earlier, one stood out.

She opened the Shinx’s pokeball, allowing the slightly confused pokemon to walk alongside her and the newly painted Binary.
Wren’s injury was fully healed now, and Neith lifted him into her arms and removed the bandage.
“You did great yesterday. You were brave and heroic. But you don’t have a name yet, do you? So I’ve been thinking. What do you think of the name Wren?

Wren. The surname of a fictional character from a sci-fi show, and a mythical bird-pokemon from a far off region. She’d vetoed it before because it might get confusing, but now that Renny had left…
Stay on track. Don’t think too much about Renny yet.

The Shinx smiled and purred lightly, which she took as a yes. Wren it was then.
“Ok Wren, I’ll need you to go back in your pokeball for now though, so at not to draw too much attention.” The Shinx nodded seriously, then pawed at the ball as Neith lifted it, hitting the return button before his trainer had the chance to do so herself.

Once again she felt guilty. This Shinx had helped her, and all she had done to repay him was putting him in greater danger. She tried to keep her face emotionless as she walked, but her poker face had never been the best, and her lack of experience in that field showed,.
