Poliwhirl uncrosses their arms as they continue to stare at Platina, bending down to look her straight in the eyes as they croak out a response.

"You wish to leave this place?  Very well.  However..."

They straighten, and turn to indicate the Horsea and Arrokuda behind them, who seem to be a bit star struck after seeing Platina.  "Pick one of them.  Take them with you.  Only one, though."

Espeon and Umbreon are thoroughly confused at this point.

"...we are in a Mystery Dungeon, right Umbreon?  I thought the wild pokemon would attack us on sight, just like the last time we came through here."

"...as far as I'm aware, yes, we are.  I wonder what's prompting this shift in behavior..."

Poliwhirl turns to stare at the Eeveelutions next, crossing its arms again.  "Maybe try being polite next time instead of assuming.  Go on, pick one of the young ones and be on your way.  You do not have time to linger here."

Poliwhirl's words are followed by a rush of wind racing through the corridor and ruffling everyone's fur/feathers, a slight chill racing down their spines.

Platina's face lights up in delighted surprise at the tough frog's unexpected generosity, a smile quickly forming that only stretches wider when she catches Lord Umbreon taken aback by this. Take that, hah! Hopefully this will be a lesson for the Dark fox's to temper his disrespectfulness, least he ends up the one causing problems with others!

She didn't have much time to gloat to herself, though, for soon that wind blew past everyone, causing her eyes to widen in astonishment and then apprehension. Being a Flying Type, she knew more than most what an air of ill omen and bad weather felt like, so she hurried to wrap things up like they said to.

"*Nods* My thanks for your patience and tolerance with us, Poliwhirl. You have my deepest gratitude too for releasing one of your stewards into our care - I know such a decision is not lightly made, and I feel honored for it. For my choice....."

The Shiny Bird looks between the two young Water Types for a moment, before finally settling on Arrowkunda. "You, young Arrowkunda. Join us, and know that we shall take great care of you, and help make your dreams and aspirations come true." 

She turns to give the Horsea an apologetic frown, and simply says to them "I believe you will be better served remaining in Poliwhirl's care. You have much growing to do before you reach your zenith, and I have utmost confidence that they'll do a much better job leading you there. *Flutters feathers, sending sparkles everywhere* Take heart, though: you are worthy of greatness, now and days to come!"

With that said Platina turns back to Poliwhirl and gives them one last bow, this one bidding farewell.

"By your leave then we shall depart. May the seas be safe and bountiful to you and your own, Poliwhirl."

If nothing else happens I guess the group departs and hurries down the Stairs with their brand new Party Member in Arrowkunda!
