"You never asked and I would have asked for your aid even if it wasn't humans who woke them so I didn't think it necessary to say." I said honestly. 'I see , well either way I am quite surprised to find you not have fled as you mortals tend to do when I leave you here. Why is that?' Rayquaza asked easily accepting my answer. "First is that I believe in reciprocity and as you requested me to stay after I requested you to solve the clash between Groudon and Kyogre , I did. Second is that I had questions that you may be able to answer." I said with a shrug.-

'Reciprocity? What a large word for a simple concept. You do something for me and I do something for you , a trade of sorts. Though I do believe in this particular scenario what I did is worth more than what you have.' It said amused. "And that's the concept of value. How do we determine what has it and if it does how much? For me what you did was a great and powerful thing but for you it might be little more than a short trip and a bit of posturing so is it truly valuable or not?"-

"For me certainly but for you I doubt it whereas I believe my staying here as you requested to be a terrible risk to myself since I doubt I could have any possibility of even struggling should you choose to take my life." I bantered and the amusement in Rayquaza's eyes deepened. If I had to describe the ancient legendary in a single word I would have to say "Bored". That's right bored , as far as I can tell Rayquaza is merely using me to entertain itself so I felt it prudent to play along with some verbal banter of my own.-

I wasn't bothered by this though as it only made sense if you think about it. Rayquaza had to be ridiculously old and had likely ran out of things to occupy it's time a long time ago. As a result anything that was different from normal was a precious and valuable thing. Rayquaza had already stated that most mortals tended to be timid and skittish with it so what better way to get on it's good side then to be bold and calm?-

As I looked back at him I knew what Rayquaza had done or at least I thought I did. After I was knocked out the ancient pokemon regenerated my missing right eye or I thought so until I sent some aura to it as it was suspiciously void of the stuff. "ARGH!" I screamed as pain flooded me the instant the energy entered the eye. I could only grit my teeth as the pain throbbed in my eye socket and I felt liquid flow down my face from my eye as I went from blind on my right side to blurry to perfect clarity to superhuman vision.-

Steven watched this happen it a concerned expression but also clear reluctance that I only came to learn was from him seeing I actually had a new eye. I felt super off balance by the time my new eye was done being integrated into my body. That was where the agony came from by the way as the legendary gave me a new eye but it couldn't force my body to accept it for whatever reason. As a result I had to experience what it was like to have every nerve that connected to ones eyes reconnect and start sending signals all at once.-

Getting off the ground I felt horribly off balance as my right eye was CONSIDERABLY more powerful than my left for some reason. 'Is this the aid it was talking about? Better vision? Seems kinda cheap right?' I thought confused. As it turns out I was counting my eggs before they hatched as there was far more to my new eye than I realized at this moment.
