[ 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) ]

[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 Yours looks rather outdated, however.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.

[mischiefbreeder]

No worries, I've been handlin' one of these babies since you were still in trainer's school!

[Gold takes the Pokédex and starts scrolling through the options on it. Let's see...]

[leadinglady]

I've lost it before, so it's only natural for me to be concerned.

[ it's a normal fancy fourth-gen pokedex, standard options apply! ]

[mischiefbreeder]

You gotta keep a better grip on this thing! D'you know how many people would love to get their mitts on this?

[Okay... Aha, here we go!]

Man, good thing you got National Dex features on this, or this'd be a pain.

[leadinglady]

Y-yes, I know that quite well.

[ peeering over, perking up a little. ]

But you should be able to find information on empoleon and lopunny now!

[mischiefbreeder]

And so much more! [Alright, found the data sync option! Man, you got so many options on here how doesn't it make your head spin, Platina?

Data sync commence. There is a little cartoonish animation popping up on the dexes, indicating some sort of exchange between the two devices now.]

[leadinglady]

Of course! I've encountered a lot of Sinnoh's pokemon during my journey.

[ booksmarts doesn't necessarily mean techsmarts! but otherwise i get by with a little help from my friends~ ]

[mischiefbreeder]

Hmm. [This whole syncing process could take a while. His dex is loaded with everything from Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn, thanks to Crys' efforts, so it could take a while to transfer data.]

So your name's Platina, huh. [Yeah, he totally creeped on your info on the Pokédex.]

[leadinglady]

Y... yes. I'm sorry, I've forgotten to introduce myself properly. It's Platina Berlitz.

[ a ladylike bow. have to be classy to other dexholders! ]

[mischiefbreeder]

The name's Gold, from New Bark Town, so don't forget it!

[leadinglady]

I see. And I won't! Especially as I've never actually met another pokedex holder outside of Sinnoh until now!

[mischiefbreeder]

You'll find there's quite a few of us Pokédex Holders here in Luceti!
