He was a little surprised with how easy cooking seemed, especially when last time he attempted it, he nearly burnt down his kitchen. Perhaps he would have to try again, yet this time being a little more aware of what exactly he was putting into the microwave.

“Oh, uh… I’m not sure, a lot? Yet not so much that it’s overflowing?” They would probably need to stir the drink afterwards as well, yet that was probably the easiest part.

“Alright.” Deoxys lifted the jug of milk with her mind, unscrewing the cap as she poured an appropriate amount into each mug. Both were filled about three quarters of the way, and her telekinetic powers would now put the cups back into the microwave. “Maybe two minutes this time.” She’d suggest aloud, mostly to herself. The numbers were punched into the machine, and it’d soon begin to whir again. She’d lean against the counter now, placing her hands in her hoodie pocket.

“That’s pretty much it. After that, you just stir it together. I’m not really sure if I have any left, but I might have something to add to it too,” Or perhaps for a snack instead, he was kind of hungry. Searching through the cupboards once more, he finds half a packet of marshmallows, taking a couple out before eating them. 

“That should be enough. If not, we can just microwave it again,” And if it’s way too much, he’s probably going to launch the microwave into space- or perhaps not exactly that, there’s already a heap of stuff in space as it is. Regardless, he would do something.

“It seems a lot easier than I thought too…” Perhaps he should try to cook more, one day. 

Deoxys would quietly watch the microwave as it hummed, finding the wavelengths coming off of it to be interesting. She’d never really seen a device like this before. The machine would soon beep a few times, signalling that it was done. With her telekinesis, she’d open the microwave door and remove the cups, setting them back on the counter.

“I think I’m forgetting something, but… I think you put the chocolate in the cups, then maybe microwave it…?” Palkia wasn’t too sure about this. Perhaps it might have been easier if he used chocolate powder or something, yet he didn’t have any.

“That sounds about right, then you add milk and microwave it again.” Somehow, he had a feeling that it wasn’t completely correct, but he wanted to try it anyway.

“That seems easy enough.” Deoxys’ eyes would once again glow, as did the chocolate. The package was opened, and pieces were broken off and separated into the cups. She really had no idea how to prepare most things that were food related, as she simply consumed vending machine food for energy. Deoxys wasn’t about to question the method, considering she didn’t even know the method.

“That should be enough. If not, we can just microwave it again,” And if it’s way too much, he’s probably going to launch the microwave into space- or perhaps not exactly that, there’s already a heap of stuff in space as it is. Regardless, he would do something.

“There should be some in that cupboard there, I think I have chocolate and milk somewhere…” He finds the milk easy enough, taking the carton out of the fridge and setting it down on the bench. The chocolate, on the other hand, took a few moments to find, yet he puts it on the bench beside the milk once he finds it.

“I think I’m forgetting something, but... I think you put the chocolate in the cups, then maybe microwave it...?” Palkia wasn’t too sure about this. Perhaps it might have been easier if he used chocolate powder or something, yet he didn’t have any.

“I… guess we could try making it.” He’s not sure why he’s worrying so much about it, it’s not that hard, he thinks. He’s just got to remember to not accidentally put a spoon in the microwave, again.

“I think it’s like… You mix melted chocolate with milk or something. I dunno how to make it…” He doesn’t even trust himself with a microwave.

“Uh, no? It’s, um…” He doesn’t know how to explain hot chocolate.

“The only good thing about winter is that it’s the perfect time for hot chocolate,”

…

“I take that back, it’s always the perfect time for hot chocolate.”

“That’s true. Although I have briefly gone to other galaxies, I… can’t really say if I actually ran into anything there,” It had been so long ago that he had forgotten. Recently, he has instead decided to just observe other galaxies from a distance. As far as he could recall, there hadn’t been anything notable there.

As they arrived in Verdanturf Town, Palkia stops to look around. While he had thought there was more here, he was mistaken. Thinking about it, it seemed to remind him somewhat of Twinleaf Town back in Sinnoh, mainly with how quiet it seemed.

“There really isn’t a lot here, huh… Oh, uh, thanks for showing me the way too.” If he had done more reaearch into different places on Hoenn, it’s likely he would have gone somewhere different. This was what he gets for choosing somewhere to go at random.

“I can’t tell you which one I’m from anyways. I don’t remember… anything.” Deoxys would shrug. “All I remember… is floating through space, endlessly. My consciousness aware, yet the way time flowed and passed was incomprehensible at the time.” The only thing she had was those memories, and instinct. That was all. 

“I told you.” She did, to be fair. “There’s a little bit of scenery. A little bit of a view of the mountain, but not that close. Rustboro is the next city to the west. It’s not as large as Mauville, but there’s the ocean there and some fountains.” The towns in this part of Hoenn didn’t seem too excited for an artist.

"Y-Yeah, you did..." He laughs a little to himself, if only he had actually listened, especially when she was from this region in the first place.

Out of the places she had listed, he wasn't sure which would be a good place. Palkia didn't know too much about the other places- excluding Lavaridge and Sootopolis specifically, although all he really knew about Lavaridge Town was that it had hot springs. Sootopolis City, on the other hand... he knew it was a city at least.

“Energy. I can’t recall if I’ve actually encountered anything like it before,” Part of the reason why he didn’t bring it up earlier was that he wanted to observe. He wasn’t sure if she were a threat or not, so he simply decided to keep quiet about it. Of course, he was still somewhat unsure about it now.

“Deoxys?” He sounded a little surprised when he repeated her name. Palkia only knew a little bit about different legendary pokemon from different regions- barely enough to go by due to most of this information being from humans, yet it was something at least. Regardless, despite what he knew, he didn’t think she was too bad. Of course, appearances could be deceiving, so he would likely continue to observe for the time being.

“Doubt you have, considering I’m not even from this galaxy.” Unfortunately, that was all she knew. She knew that the Milky Way simply was not her home. Yes, Deoxys was alien indeed, though not exactly in the same way that an Ultra Beast may be. Still alien regardless, that much she was aware of.

"That's true. Although I have briefly gone to other galaxies, I... can't really say if I actually ran into anything there," It had been so long ago that he had forgotten. Recently, he has instead decided to just observe other galaxies from a distance. As far as he could recall, there hadn't been anything notable there.

“Huh…” Being on his own for centuries constantly made him forget what his own aura was like. Powerful, moreso whenever he were actually in a fight, as rare as that was. If he were smart about it, he would have tried to hide it.

“If that’s the case, then… Palkia. That’s my name. I don’t really feel comfortable telling humans about it, however…” If he hadn’t sensed the fact that she wasn’t human as well, he likely wouldn’t have said his name.

“You don’t seem to be human either.” He was usually awful at realizing such things, unless they were similar in strength to himself- a ‘legendary’, as humans would call it- where he would eventually realize that they were similar to him.

Clearly, he needed more practice with detecting and using aura, but at least he was better at it compared with what he was like in the past.

“Palkia?” The legendary dragon that created space? Great. Hopefully she could have a good relationship with one of the legendary dragons. She doubted he would have any intentions to kill her like Rayquaza did, since Palkia didn’t seem like the overly territorial type so far. Deoxys didn’t know him well enough to make that judgement.

“What gave it away? The part where I read your thoughts, or was it my otherworldly energy?” Deoxys had a very peculiar energy. Not only was she from a whole different galaxy, but unbeknownst to her, she also took the explosive force of a supernova– the supernova that wiped her memory of her time as a conqueror and sent her core careening across space for millions of years. She was full of stardust, both poetically and literally.

"Energy. I can't recall if I've actually encountered anything like it before," Part of the reason why he didn't bring it up earlier was that he wanted to observe. He wasn't sure if she were a threat or not, so he simply decided to keep quiet about it. Of course, he was still somewhat unsure about it now.

“That’s… a good point,” He smiles a little after he spoke, Palkia hadn’t even thought of it that way before. As they walked towards Verdanturf Town, he would look around at the scenery. He wanted to stop and look around more, yet he would likely come back later.

“It’s a nightmare in winter, although I just stay home where it’s warm. Maybe I should just stay here for winter, it’ll probably be nicer than back home.” Although he felt like it was somewhat ironic that he was complaining about how cold it was, he did partially create the region after all.

“I’m not really a fan of crowds either. There’s a city in… Kalos I think, if I ever go there, I’m not going near there,” Hell, he wouldn’t even go near Jubilife City back in Sinnoh because of all the people there. Of course, there were still more cities in Sinnoh with lots of people, yet it was Jubilife especially that made him uncomfortable. It was the first city he ever visited after all.

There was a brief moment of panic when she asked his name, recalling the fact that he had yet to think of a false name. After thinking for several seconds, a name wouldn’t come to mind.

“Uhhh… Y-Yeah I have a name-” Instantly realizing he said something incredibly idiotic, he stops talking, shaking his head a few times. Honestly, he felt incredibly embarassed now.

“Temperature usually doesn’t bother me whether it’s cold or hot. I’ve found that I prefer warmer weather.” Floating endlessly through the cold vacuum of space was something she didn’t miss. Fortunately, she’d found out that her brain– her core– could withstand extreme temperatures, so that was a plus.

“I think I know what city you’re talking about. Lumiose, isn’t it?” The central city of Kalos was spoke of even in a far off region such as Hoenn. It was glamorous and luxurious. People couldn’t not talk about it. It was one of the largest cities in the world, after all. Deoxys would probably be split in two if she went there. “I wouldn’t want to go there either.” Hoenn was fine enough on its own.

"Huh..." Being on his own for centuries constantly made him forget what his own aura was like. Powerful, moreso whenever he were actually in a fight, as rare as that was. If he were smart about it, he would have tried to hide it.

"If that's the case, then... Palkia. That's my name. I don't really feel comfortable telling humans about it, however..." If he hadn't sensed the fact that she wasn't human as well, he likely wouldn't have said his name.
