Reach a new stage.
"You seem to have a problem with retaining information that isn't convenient to you."

Banyan's just leaving before this argument kills her with a migraine.

"...Do you have any intention of making yourself useful for once, or do you intend to rant about your nonsensical little theories until somebody else does the work for you? You have received my answer. Move onto your next plan before I render you unable to even make more."

"My daughter would recognize that I am being rational and not sticking my neck out for something that will not pay off. If she already wants me dead, then I'm doomed either way. Fighting won't change that. But if I escape now, I at least have the chance of not being on her list."
August 31, 2025 at 3:15 AM
"I will not do anything to risk my life for you. Figure it out for yourself or give up. If I help you in any way, that would be taking your side."

Banyan's getting really fed up with Amelia here.

"Do you still need your hand held through everything?"
August 31, 2025 at 3:00 AM
"I will not help you. Get there yourself. If you can't do even that for yourself, you won't survive going through that door."

"...I love Miss Freya. But my daughter is the only person I would sacrifice my life for."

She's pulling out a Pokeball... She will attack Amelia if that's what this comes to.

"Do what you must. But I will not help you."

can do now."
August 31, 2025 at 2:22 AM
"...What about it? I don't have it, nor do I know where to find it."

Banyan's just... Glaring at Amelia...

"There is nothing I can do for you that would not be suicide. Be grateful I am not attacking you outright to earn Miss Celia's good graces. ...I will miss Miss Freya, but there is nothing I-

"If that happens, then there was no point to fighting in the first place. My only option is to renounce the Kingchesters to save my own skin, and hope she doesn't decide to destroy all of reality."
August 31, 2025 at 2:14 AM
my life away over. My fate will be sealed if I help the Kingchesters, and my goals are more valuable to me than an acquaintance's family matters."
August 31, 2025 at 2:06 AM
"...Are you trying to get Arceus killed now?"

Huff...

"Perhaps your family would be an unstoppable force if they could unite, Miss Amelia. And yet... Miss Celia has become something which could stop even that. This is no longer about your family drama. This is about a threat that I will not throw-
August 31, 2025 at 2:06 AM
"Yes, I am. Miss Celia just reached a state that creates a dead end for me if I stay here. I would have left sooner if she hadn't bent time and space in a way which circumvented my forewarnings... Even my teams do not stand a chance against what that girl has become."

"...These are things he can't cover up. This damage is something he isn't prepared to counter, unlike everything else thrown at him so far..."

Banyan has to assume that the Kanto branch is still feeling some effects from the Galar branch going down, and it's about to get worse.
August 28, 2025 at 1:23 AM
"...One branch destroyed, one branch cut off from supplies. Am I missing anything else?"

Kingchester Corps is going to suffer after this. They've already taken the loss of one region, and this makes a second. Banyan's not sure what else was done while she was preoccupied...
August 28, 2025 at 1:07 AM
"I truthfully doubt that there were any survivors, except for those who got out long before this happened... Though your family is quite stubborn. If anybody survived, it would be a Kingchester."

Still, this level of damage is far beyond what she expected from a Kingchester...
August 27, 2025 at 11:58 PM
covered in glittering, rainbow colored flames...

"Ho-oh, please, take to the skies and search for any survivors of this disaster."

It's certainly no standard Ho-oh, but... Regardless, it's taking flight and watching the ground...
August 27, 2025 at 11:26 PM
"It is difficult to imagine anybody surviving this..."

And it would likely be a very painful way to go...

"...We'll need an eye in the sky to cover this much ground."

She seems a bit reluctant, but she's pulling out a Pokeball. There's a little toss, and out comes... A big bird, with wings-
August 27, 2025 at 11:26 PM
"Truth told, I've barely seen anything that was once a living creature. Whatever happened here, the people seem to have been caught up in it."

She's seen some blood spots, but that's basically it so far. Shouldn't be too surprising, all things considered...
August 27, 2025 at 10:54 PM
"...I just hope Miss Celia isn't her accomplice, or we will be in a world of trouble..."

Banyan's fairly certain she'd win that battle, but it would come at a cost...
August 21, 2025 at 3:21 AM
"...I guess we probably should before she gets herself captured."

What a pain...

"I was hoping to figure out how Miss Celia allowed Miss Reina to run loose again first, but I suppose that's off the table now..."
August 21, 2025 at 2:51 AM
Biiiiig yawn.

"Probably."

...She really needs some coffee.

"It does sound like she has a habit of making things worse than they need to be."
August 21, 2025 at 2:38 AM
"...Castliron is going to be so oversized by the end of this."

It's going to 'eat' every robot they come across...

"I wasn't paying attention to the news. I just woke up because of the noise you were making."

She's still half asleep... Did she stay up all night talking to her daughter again?
August 21, 2025 at 2:21 AM
"...Start with that one, Castliron."

And the results is... Iron filings assaulting a robot until all that's left are the plastic and rubber components.

...It's like those timelapse videos of ants eating a lizard, but the video compression makes it all just look like a blur until the end...
