(...) "Alakazam's emotional needs are met in a way you can never imagine. Our bond is literal. Powerful. Deeper than any friendship."

If Shiva would have only known this a bit earlier, she might have tried to get the others to abstain from clipping the cables that connect her model of gauntlet with the neurons - 'tried' is the key word, as her inner voice is whispering to her in a low voice that the chance that she'd succeed on that are laying two times lower than the natural habitat of a Huntail. :C

Something very suprising and unexpected happens: Shiva actually gifts Juni a very small smile!! Shiva takes extra care that NONE, least of all DizzyCalam, does notice it however, whether Juni herself notices she doesn't even know. That point's not as important as what this change in expression means: The compassion of hers for this blue-haired woman raises by 0.5.

She cannot help it unfortunately, she simply has to speak up once more to bring up a question that arises in her mind: "....Juni, you seem to have quite the fondness for your Alakazam, which is a noble thing to notice. But please tell me one thing: Has Alakazam themselves agreed to be bonded to you in such a deep way? What have...you done to achieve such a connection to such a smart and powerful Pokemon? What advice could you give to me who wishes to achieve my Alakazam megaevolving as well...?" That's an honest question, and Shiva's actually curious to know. Her bond to Helios is strong, she's the most important person for him, but she feels there's room to strengthen this connection further.

If it helps or would in some way be interesting/helpful for Helios (currently with Shiva) to actually meet Juni's Alakazam for a meaningful interaction or similar, that's naturally fine. She'd ask to free Juni just enough to summon her Alakazam then.
