[Ah, yes, that time we met, Cilan had been the great Pokemon Sorcerer, the guy who had spells at his disposal and acted like a magical knight from a fairy tale kingdom that would help those in need. Except now, he's not the role he had played in that movie--he's simply an ordinary human. None of that magic was real, and so he can only use his wit and intelligence to help his friends and his Pokemon.

When Lugia lands next to him, he does startle for a second, but otherwise he seems...okay. Not perfect, not even completely okay to be honest, but getting there. His talk with Ash probably helped a little.]

I'm... [...Somehow, the idea of lying to a legendary Pokemon and saying that everything's fine with him seems like a bad thing to do. And normally, he would be fanboying really hard about Lugia in general, but he just doesn't have the energy for it right now, so after a second or two, he sighs, sounding tired.]

...No, not really. [However--] But...I think I'll be all right after this is over, once I'm sure that Ash and the others are safe again.

I understand.

[Lugia kinda feels the same way. Though he's putting his feelings aside for now to focus on protecting and helping as many people as he can. Especially the other Pokemon and their trainers]

I will be here to help you should you have need of me.

[Cilan and his Pokemon look up, faintly surprised for a second. Then, after glancing at one another, they manage a smile.]

Thank you, I would really appreciate your help. [At the very least, please let there be someone other than ourselves that will make sure Ash is okay, if we end up getting separated at any time.] ...And we'll help you too, if you need it. It's only fair, right?

[His Pokemon chime something in agreement. Let us help you out too, Lugia!]

[Lugia had already told Ash that he would be there to protect him as well. So he's got your back Cilan.

The legendary Pokemon looks between the gym leader and his Pokemon and nods.]
