[ 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]

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!

[leadinglady]

There are...?

[ can't help but get her hopes up a little, but. ]

You wouldn't happen to know if there are two boys named Diamond and Pearl here, would you?

[mischiefbreeder]

The name Diamond sounds familiar, but I don't think he's been here for a while.

[leadinglady]

He's here?

[ ... and then crestfallen. ]

Or he isn't...

[mischiefbreeder]

Yeah, sorry... He's still back home, it looks like.

[leadinglady]

... I suppose that's a good thing.

[ as if trying to convince herself. ]

[mischiefbreeder]

Maybe he'll show up someday, but it's better to not worry about that sort of thing.

[leadinglady]

... You may be right. Then I'll worry more about my pokemon and finding a place to stay!

[mischiefbreeder]

Well, if it means anything to you, you can stay with me and the Dex Holders, since it looks like you're one of us.

[He hands the dex back over to her. He's taken the liberty of copying her dex data and giving her his own in exchange.]

Your call, though.

[leadinglady]

[ ... she's pretty tired and a little out of her element here. taking her pokedex, though! ]

I... might accept that offer, then. I'd like to meet the rest of you, too!

[mischiefbreeder]

Well, I'll give you time to decide. We live in the big mansion on the north end of town if you decide!

[leadinglady]

[ mansion. MANSION?? ]

Actually, could I have a tour before deciding?

[mischiefbreeder]

A tour? [Why would anyone want a tour before deciding? Shouldn't a mansion be a selling point by concept alone?]

Sure, I guess.

[leadinglady]

[ tours are my thing!! ]

Excellent! Shall we proceed?

[mischiefbreeder]

Alright, then, all aboard! We're settin' off! [And awaaaaay they go!]

[leadinglady]

[ following after happily on rapidash. she's... a little tired right now. ]
