Leia did her best to help steady the group too, to take some of the burden off of Seto, even as she moved forward with the other two toward Eva's world. Overall, being linked to her felt akin to being linked to an old, weathered tree. Something that had survived and stood strong through many storms and had the rough edges to prove it, but was still vibrant and alive.

She could feel the psychic Pokémon too, so many overlapping and competing presences turned it into indistinct psychic chatter, mental white noise. But it did help focus in on the world, as much as Senku helped them focus in on Eva in particular. Eva may have a particularly powerful psychic Pokémon with her, she said, recalling what Eva had told her about 'Fluffy', and bringing that somewhat to the fore. One we may not have a choice but to engage with. If that's the case, it may be best to let me do the talking. Of the four of them, Leia almost certainly had the most experience dealing with sentient, non-human minds, after all.
