Tetsu's guess can't be even more off. At first he was unsure if it's really just a Larvesta... After all, a Larvesta isn't particularly powerful in his opinion. Strong that they're Former Champion Alder's starter Pokemon yeah, but... they're not exactly super awe inspiring. That's when he saw a huge one. He was about to ask that if it want to join his party in excitement, but... Riku immediately stopped him. Something... something is wrong. Even Riku looked way too tense. Is it enemy? No, there's no feel of hostility in the Pokemons. Tetsu looked at his team, each of them have different reaction. Sphalerite looked tense, Rutile even looked meek... and there's Titanite who attempted to walk closer to the back and even the usually jolly Chalcedony looked serious.
...What's is even beyond this?
...And the sight of the muzzle was enough to snap image in Tetsu's mind. That emblem aren't torch. That emblem is A TURBINE. A TURBINE THAT ONCE BLAZED THROUGH THE SKIES OF UNOVA! HOW COULD HE BE SO DUMB!?
"...Holy Arceus," leaked spontaneously from his mouth. Even the room that was supposed to be hot felt like it was frigid cold. "T-that... That is Reshi---"
At the presence of the statue, both the human and the Pokemons immediately knelt on the ground. Why? Why would the guardian of Unova of all thing shrined here? What's going on? What kind of dream is he in? He can't even differentiate between dream and reality when suddenly a telepathic communication trying to permeate his mind. Uh? He have no power to reject it at the moment, but....
Holy shit

The first thing that likely would need to be said, was that Ettie did not know what a Reshiram was; let alone most, if not all, legendary pokemon. They were a concept that she only had passing understanding of from both her mother's teachings, and Tetsu's as well; thinking them to be something akin to spirits, whom watched over nature and the world as a whole. Things that were abstract but still present and physical - things that she wouldn't necessarily see directly, but would certainly see the effects of.
Yet, despite her not recognizing that the statue depicted a legendary pokemon, the presence in the air was still palatable; a feeling that certainly fulfilled the notion of 'holy'. As the Larvesta spoke, Anne would respond politely - <Thanks for warning,> - and the pack followed in Barbara and Alexander's leads, bowing alongside the duo as the two houndour began to bow before the statue.
(Albeit Ruffian would need a nudge from Anne, before he would follow the group's lead - the Lillipup being somewhat oblivious to the atmosphere.)
Ettie, too, would glance at Tetsu with a bit of a bewildered expression at his cut-off remark as she knelt - questioning "Reshi...?" in a soft tone. What had he been trying to say...?
It was safe to say, that there was something going on here - something... Special, perhaps is a way to put it? It was hard to put an exact word to it all...

Ettie Tetsu Asterite As Ettie and Tetsu stood in the room with the statue inside, an overwhelming presence made it difficult for the two of them to concentrate. A deep, divine voice echoed in both their minds. While it was extremely muffled to the point of being indecipherable in Ettie's head, Tetsu could hear the voice loud and clear. < You, young and hearty man whose words are laced with truth. Mankind acts once more upon the lies of millennia past...lies that nearly destroyed Ageos completely. The mistakes of what seem like aeons ago are being repeated. For the sake of Pokémon and their human partners, the darkness of their lie-covered hearts must be dispelled by the light of truth. You, young man, shall be the bearer of truth's light.
The calamity of millennia past was a direct result of mankind following lies coated as noble ideals. Their hardened hearts must see the light, or the Ouroboros will awaken once more and devour Ageos as it did in the distant past. If the situation demands we intervene, you must return here when you and your Pokémon have obtained sufficient experience to be bathed in the divine light of truth. You, and only you; those impure of truth would not live to see the awakening of the Light of Truth. The two Pokémon before you are filled with the Light of Truth; use them to mask the Darkness of Lies and prevent Ageos from repeating her horrible mistakes of the past! >With that, neither of them could hear the voice anymore. The eyes of the one of the Larvesta started beading up, crawling all around Tetsu, desperate to join him. The other simply shifted its eyes between the two humans. STATS

He? Chosen? He can't believe it. He really can't believe it. There's something... there's something ABSOLUTELY wrong here... but at the same time it feels right. His mind can't even register, but to immediately says "yes". WHAT ELSE SHOULD HE EVEN DO!? Reject? He can't even do that! It feels surreal, it feels weird. After he raises from his position, Tetsu was so overwhelmed that he practically almost fall backward had it not for Riku straightening him up.
<Careful,> the Lucario steadied. <What does the Dragon of Truth says?>
He doesn't need Ettie's translation for that. "...They said.. They said that I have to return here one day. One day once I'm strong enough. At the moment I'm not strong enough but... I have been chosen. Only... me. The Champion of Truth. Reshiram said that. If there come the time where Ageos is in danger, then I must return here, and take the role."
There was both elation and shock on the face of the Pokemons. Their trainer is chosen? They trembled both in awe and dread. There are something... something absolutely amazing about this. They're happy, very happy... but at the same time what kind of trials and tribulation will await for their human? But either way, this is something worth celebrating for. The Pokemons vowed to get stronger along with Tetsu.
And there's the Larvesta. Tetsu eagerly strokes one that approached him. "...Looks like we're bound by fate then. I hope you won't mind to come with me?"
This is a bit too sudden but either way... This is great. He got what he wanted! On top of that, this one is shiny?
"I can't really say anything about this exploration, because of this holy ground and all that... I'm sure some bad people will come to this area if they know that this is Shrine of Reshiram. I'm sure Reshiram won't like... be happy. I guess it's time for some omittance of details after all..."
<Sounds good. This volcano, might be reason for hot climate>
"With Reshiram here I guess it's not likely that it will erupt anytime... so... I think it's safe to make a den in the forest right?"
<Sounds right> Riku agreed.
"...Sorry, I'm still a bit weak ahah..." man, that... he swore his life just got cut by ten years or so...

That distant and muffled voice in Ettie's head would prompt a good deal of confusion - the young girl rubbing at her temples a bit with a discomforted look. What was this weird feeling in her head? It was unfamiliar and strange, and she didn't exactly like it; especially given that it sounded as though someone, or something, was talking - and that she couldn't understand a single word of it. The other pups, noticing this strange behavior, would glance over at Ettie - Anne in particular asking <Are... you okay?>
"There's this weird feeling in my head..." She'd grumble, rubbing at her temples with both hands now. "Like someone's talking in my head? While underwater??" It seemed that most of the pups had no clue what was going on - their shared glances amongst each other appearing disconcerted and bewildered. It was only the two Houndours who didn't seem as concerned - Alexander in particular looking as though he knew the answer and was about to speak...
... But it would be Tetsu, who spoke up first. The single blurted 'yes' from the young man would draw the pack's attention - and Ettie was unable to help a relieved sigh, as the strange feeling finally faded from her mind. And with that relief, would come some explanations as well as Tetsu finally spoke - explaining himself to have been... Chosen by Reshiram? Awe was apparent amongst the civilized pups, as well as Alexander and Barbara both - and even Ettie and Anne couldn't help but be visibly impressed at it all, Ettie in particular pondering what had caught this Reshiram's attention. Tetsu's strength? His good heart?
Either way, it seemed that this was a sign of things to happen - and with that, would come a pair of Larvesta. One of them took to Tetsu easily - and the young boy would happily take the bug-type with. However, the other... Didn't seem quite as enthusiastic, as it glanced about at both Ettie and her pack. Did it feel like it'd be out of place?
Either way, Ettie would smile warmly to the Larvesta, and pat it on the head. "It's okay, buddy." She'd speak reassuringly. "It's alright if you don't wanna come with us - you seem like you'd be happier here, or with someone else."
<Do not worry, Vessel,> Alexander would add in comment; bowing his head in an almost reverent respect towards the remaining Larvesta. <This Spark will protect in stead.>
With the adventure seemingly resolved though, Tetsu would mention his reluctance to telling the truth about this place - to which Ettie would tilt her head a little, looking unsure for a different reason. Wasn't that the opposite of a truth?
Well, either way, it seemed that they'd figured out everything that there was to find here. The next step, it seemed, was to leave and set up their den; something that Ettie would be looking forward to. "It's okay if you're not feeling your best!" She would chirp to Tetsu; squeezing his hand with a warm smile. "Let's go home, yeah?"
Note: Ettie isn't taking the Larvesta IC - but OOC it will be going to Andrew
i can't wait for him to have to deal with angrily honest larvesta when he goes into the forest for the first time (Also am switching around Alexander's and Barbara's text colors Cause I Can)
