Letters
[Receiving her journal back had felt like fate to Rey, after Saturn had agreed to exchange letters with her; it had been a while since she'd written anything, so it was nice to receive the reminder that...well, she could. Tearing out pages of her beaten old journal simply wouldn't do for this project, however, so she was sure to pay a quick visit to the department store before her group moved on to Hearthome City.
The paper she's chosen is plain, but of a nice quality. It feels good under her fingers and there's a satisfying resistance against her pencil (which is also new - if she hadn't had to go, she would have lost quite a few hours in that stationary section....) as she writes.
It takes a few days for the first letter to arrive, but whether that's to do with the sender or the...unique delivery method remains to be seen.
Rey's handwriting is neat and orderly, and looks practised, as if she's spent a lot of time perfecting it. There are no niceties at the start, no 'Dear Saturn' or anything heading the letter. Rey had considered doing so, but it hadn't felt authentic; that, and the fact that she spent far too long trying to work out if 'Dear' or 'To' was more appropriate, before just deciding to can the whole idea.
Maybe it would come to her as the conversation progressed and she got used to the idea of writing while actually expecting a reply from someone - for now....]
I hope this finds you well. I've taken to flying on Golett rather than using Drifblim, which frees it up to be our delivery Pokemon. It'll hang around until you're ready to reply - just call for it.
We've made it to Hearthome with no issues; it's beautiful. Sinnoh certainly has a lot of incredible cities within such a small area. Despite everything, I've really enjoyed being able to see so much of the region. Have you travelled through much of it? At the rate I'm going, I'll be able to give you tips on what to see, if you haven't.
I know you didn't go into much detail about your conversation with Cyrus, but I do hope he wasn't angry with you. If I was a more suspicious - some people might say smarter - person, I'd be concerned that you were back in his employ and this letter would do nothing more than lead Team Galactic right to us.
What I have learned throughout my time here, though, is to listen to my emotions and not to underestimate the importance of them; they say to trust you, so that is what I'm going to do.
It's what I want to do, after all.
Anyway, take care of yourself.

I don't know if I'm capable of offering you reassurances, or if you would even want to hear such a thing from me in the first place. As it is, I don't want to take sides in this particular conflict; I will if Master Cyrus asks it of me, of course, but as a matter of personal preference I don't want to wish for either his downfall or your group's failure.
I'll honor your request should something happen to you, however. I won't forget you, or any of the others for that matter; I wouldn't want to.
Incidentally, I appreciate that Mars and Jupiter remain apparently unharmed; I'm aware that they can be... Well, "difficult" is likely the politest way to put it. Dialga and Palkia are interesting creatures, in my experience; their anger is terrifying, but I've always found them to be more impressive than frightening. I like them, I suppose, even if they hate us for what we've done.
The Hall of Origin... It's a beautiful place, honestly, though I suppose that's to be expected from the Creator's domain. I've seen it several times by now, though it isn't somewhere I go often or casually. Spear Pillar is likewise beautiful; you'll see it before you reach the Hall of Origin, and I imagine you'll see what I mean when you arrive.
Jupiter has contacted me, regarding going back to Master Cyrus. I haven't really given her an answer yet, however.
Look after yourself.
