Near Cons, yesterday
Odin: I was a pampered kid whose father doted on him. My mother left him after he started working for Cipher.
Then Cipher captured a woman... Somehow she was centuries old. My father was in charge of experimenting on her, and I often watched, fascinated.
Then... The woman's Pokemon team attacked the base. Her Metagross... Brutally killed my father, leaving me with a phobia of the Beldum line up until I got my revenge over a year ago.
Since then Cipher raised me until I clawed my way up to Admin. After they fell I joined Illusion... Then I met you and you know the story from there.

Pianis: Well, why don't I let Siren here give you a ride?
Siren: <Wait, what?>
Mezzo: ...That's your idea of a birthday present? A ride on a Lapras?
Pianis: Not exactly. Siren?
-Siren's illusion falls off-
Fortis: Oh my gosh!
Mezzo: Wait wait wait what.
-Mezzo sets Sunny on her head-

Constantin nods thoughfully.
Constantin: Hmm, if we're talking about childhood trauma leading to Phobias, I used to have quite severe claustrophobia. Due to the habit my father had of locking me away for even the most minor of transgressions. cupboards, cabinets... even locking me in away in a chest one time and forgetting about which lead to me almost passing out from oxygen deprivation. Thankfully - or unthankfully - Kahina was there to get me out before that came to pass.
Constantin lets out a deep sigh.
Constantin: My childhood was not a a happy one.
I'm having to learn to pay the priceGreat Tree
Goombella: <Huh! That's a neat trick!>
Candace: <Indeed.>

Belinda: Aww, it was nothin'! I just hope you still want to go inside after that...

-Siren is interrupted by a glomp from the birthday girl-
Fortis: Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh it's a jet dragon and she's so cute! Can I go flying on her?
Siren: <Aack!>
Fortis: C'mon! Can I can I can I can I?
Pianis: Well, you'll have to ask her.
Siren: <No way!>
Fortis: Really? But don't you like flying, miss jet dragon?
Pianis: Come on, it's her birthday. Just one time?
Siren: -sigh- <All right, just one time. Hop on, kid.>
-Mezzo opens a window, and Siren flies off into the sky-
Fortis: Wheeeee~!
-after she leaves, she closes it again-
Mezzo: Okay, so I'm gonna need some more answers here. Why do you suddenly have a Latias?
Pianis: What, do you not? You got the text, right?

-The stair leads down to a door with a control panel, which presumably leads back to the place where the Elder is-
-Unfortunately, there's also a Metang there-
Metang: <Hey, what's going on here? You taking hostages now?>
Maggie: <Hey, it was a legal catch!>
Metang: <Oh, yeah? Well, this is what I think of your 'legal catches'!>
-The Metang strikes at Maggie with a Pursuit-

Buddy: <Maybe not to humans or any of these guys, but when you're smaller than Pokemon that can't talk yet...>

Mezzo: Yes, I got the text. I decided not to sign up for it because I didn't need a mind reader all around me all the time.
Xel'lotath: <And yet, you accept our continued presence. But we do not mind. This is to our advantage.>
Mezzo: You're different. I can actually keep you under control.
Pianis: You turned down meeting a legendary for that?
Mezzo: I meet legendaries all the time.
The Sky
-Siren flies Fortis up above the storm clouds, giving her a clear view of the region-
Fortis: Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! It's so pretty! You can see everything up here!
Siren: <Well, it is nice to go out and stretch my wings for a bit.>

Fortis: Wheeeeee~!

-Dune is sitting on the balcony while Deziree is inside, having "felt the call of SCIENCE! to fix a problem" and is currently fidgeting with an inhaler. He looks up at the cloudy sky, rolling a certain pipe ring in his fingers.-
Dune: Hm...
-He looks to the northwest, towards the single tallest mountain in the region.-
Dune: ... There.
Deziree: Hm what?
Dune: Nothing! Just mumbling to myself.
-He sticks the ring back into his pocket.-
