[ wherever you are in luceti, you're being approached by a girl on horserapidash-back. she looks pretty tired, but determined. ]

Excuse me. Could I ask for your assistance?

... Oh, and would you happen to know if there's a hotel nearby?



[ note: Platina is looking for empoleon and lopunny. feel free to have your character find them or have shenanigans 8) ]

[leadinglady]

Yes!... Fortunately, it didn't go as planned.

[mischiefbreeder]

I think you win for Whackjob Villain of the Year.

[leadinglady]

... Is that really a prize?

And he did get better!

[mischiefbreeder]

"Got better"?

[leadinglady]

He saw the error of his ways, thanks to a friend. I'm sure he will be fine.

[mischiefbreeder]

My guy fell into the time stream, never to be seen again.

[leadinglady]

That's... that's terrible! Wasn't there a way to save him at all?

[mischiefbreeder]

I guess not. I'm still not really clear how I got outta there myself. But... I think I got him to see the errors of his ways too.

[leadinglady]

... That's good, at least.

People like that do deserve second chances.

[mischiefbreeder]

Whether he gets that second chance ain't up to me now.

[leadinglady]

... I suppose it's not.

[ but it's still depressing. ]

[mischiefbreeder]

Ah! There's no point to worryin' about that now, though. What's done is done!

[leadinglady]

You may be right.

So... this place isn't under the control of a pokemon like Dialga or Celebi, then.

[mischiefbreeder]

That's right. In fact, Pokémon are in the minority here.

[leadinglady]

I've noticed. Especially as I'm still looking for the rest of my team...

[mischiefbreeder]

What're you lookin' for?

[leadinglady]

Empoleon and lopunny. I don't suppose you've seen them?

[mischiefbreeder]

[Empoleon and Lopunny, huh. Don't mind Gold as he pulls out his Pokédex to look through it. They aren't species he recognizes, but maybe Crys caught them and added them to the Dex Database before they came here...]

[leadinglady]

A pokedex!... Yours looks rather outdated, however.

[ she pulls out her own she'd recovered from the shops! shh pime taradox. ]

[mischiefbreeder]

Hey, my Pokédex is just as great as the new models. Updates from Professor Oak keeps it running in tip-top shape! There ain't a thing your dex can do that mine can't! [Except touchscreen capabilities and being able to key in entries on something that doesn't function like a 90s phone.]

[leadinglady]

I don't suppose it has data on Sinnoh pokemon, though.

[ yyep it looks similar to Silver's! HMM 8|a ]

[mischiefbreeder]

Not yet it doesn't. But I can fix that!

[leadinglady]

How?

[mischiefbreeder]

Lemme see your Pokédex real quick!

[leadinglady]

[ ... just looking at him skeptically, but eventually offering it out. ]

Be careful with it.
