Nathan can tell Calam is doing his best to resist joining in on the playtime, to act like the adult that he is. He's seen this type of behavior plenty of times back on the ranch. He wouldn't bug Calam about it right now though. Let him enjoy the moment while it lasted. Instead, Nathan was reviewing what he knows of the situation carefully...
- Absol is a species trained in Creshire typically only in incredible circumstances...and the daycare owners have bred and are raising one...at Shiva's suggestion, apparently...which means there must be very good reason beyond just protecting the daycare if the owners agreed to raising a pokemon surrounded by an incredibly large amount of regional superstition...
- Kirlia is incredibly happy right now. Comparable to the amount of joy that caused him to evolve in the first place.
- Kirlia evolved because it had to do with a call Shiva received from the daycare that related to their mission to bring Almanac down...from the...inside...
After a considerable amount of time thinking about this, Nathan looks at Kirlia as he's playing with the baby Absol. He's getting along REALLY well with him...more social than with any other person or pokemon aside from maybe Nathan...
And then it hits Nathan.
This Absol is probably related to how the daycare is attacking Almanac from the inside.
No, not just probably. Almost certainly. There's no other logical reason he can think of for them to be raising an Absol in the first place, and Kirlia's only ever this happy if there's a particularly good reason for it.
Nathan walks over to the baby as well now. He sits down next to him, taking his turn to stroke the Absol's soft fur. "You having fun? Yes? Good. Hey, I want you to remember something when times get tough later, okay? I want you to remember that there are those who appreciate you for what you are. Maybe not many, but they're out there. Absol are pretty universally disliked in this region, so there'll be plenty who ridicule and/or run from you. Maybe even attack you, and there'll be many reasons for doing so. I'm sure you're going to be more than strong enough to handle it, though. Particularly if you enjoy the happy moments while they last, like this one. They'll be what keep you moving when the going gets rough.
"Try not to let life get you down too much. You do that, and you'll eventually find both your part to play and what makes you happiest. Like Calam over there. From what I can tell, he's lived a hard, lonely life, but he knows what his purpose is. He knows what makes him happiest. And everyone can dislike him as much as he wants. He knows there are those that appreciate him anyways. You remember all that, and you'll go as far as he has one day. Alright?"
Nathan hopes this baby Absol will remember at least a little of that. He's got a long, difficult road ahead of him...but he'll be more than appropriately equipped for the job. Absol have a huge number of ways to deal with practically any situation that could happen, after all. And they're lonely creatures by nature as well, so solo living and missions shouldn't bother them too much...
Shiva couldn't have picked a better pokemon for the job, in Nathan's opinion.

(Skipping forward a little now)
Shiva and Ventus were now doing some training...so Nathan goes off to do some of his own as well, though it's going to be a little more intensive. He'd meet them back at the Center, and would have the details of their battle hashed out by then.
Let's also get a 4v4 double battle with no fainting for $400 going for Nathan. Starmie and Grid will be up first.
