Nice snippet with Xerneas, I was wondering what her work looked like from her perspective.
I have to wonder what's going through Grotle's mind right now. In exchange for being on deaths door, he got to meet and work under a living legend. He might even see his injury as a blessing in that case.
In the span of a short session, Xerneas has decided upon an apprentice. Rereading the section, I could see parts that test Grotle's humility and others that test his curiosity and diligence. I likely missed a few other cues.
Thank goodness he's her apprentice now. I can't imagine him coming out on top of any sneak attack.
I don't think Grotle would have attacked Xerneas. He was raised to worship the Legendary Pokemon as gods, so he would see it as heresy to attack one. I'd also like to think he's aware enough of the gulf between their strength to know he'd lose
