Firion smiled as he spotted Cecil, though it faltered slightly at Cecil. The man was much older but that wasn't the disconcerting part. It was the way he moved and acted, which was hardly anything at all. It was nothing like his peaceful, calm self from the Void. What had happened?

Despite the change of outfit, Firion also recognize Squall. "Cecil, Squall. I see the journey has treated you well."

And since they were near the lake again, Firion let out Wild Rose. The times they were near water were few and far between, so he let her out as much as possible. She was the strongest out of all his Pokemon, so his worry for her was lightened in Cherrygrove. The Pokemon would be too weak here.
