Jack: I honestly don't know.
We all teleported somewhere I don't know the location of and I wasn't really told anything about Lazarus.

Fletcha: "Lazarus is some sort of evil metal man who kidnapped Samantha last week, we traveled to where he was keeping her. J-Team members were able to rescue Samantha, but many were also affected by some sort of nasty knock-out gas that was the trap left by Lazarus at the location..."
"...I hope that's not too confusing."
Mossdeep Pokémon Center
Zeal: Not any more confusing than a lot of other stuff that's happened. I really should find a way to keep in touch with the rest of the J-Team, though... I'm in the same place as the rest of you most of the time, anyway, so it's not like tracking my phone—
-He jumps.-
Zeal: Wait, do you think this Lazarus guy could have any connection to that guy who took Mel?

-Zeal looks down.-
Zeal: My sister. A year ago, she was kidnapped... and probably killed.

Fletcha: -sincerely- "Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that..."
-He also looks down slightly-
"Well I just told you practically all of what I know about the situation, so yeah..."

Jack: Oh dear, I'm really sorry.
And yeah, I don't know much more about this, either.

Zeal: I see...
-He sighs.-
Zeal: Guess I should've expected as much.

"Had any luck with locating your Quilava, uhh sorry I forgot it's name, or cracking that tablet?"

-Jack walks over and puts his arm around Zeal-
Jack: I'm really sorry about that.
You want to cuddle something fluffy?

Yes, but I didn't foresee gas. Now we've got a whole bunch of humans and mons out of commission at the moment.
-To Fletcha and Jack-
It was before your time, as far as I'm personally concerned Lanie's alive until we've found a body or a motion video.
-To Zeal-
From what Joseph told me, if there is a connection it probably isn't a direct one, but slime tends to travel in similar circles.

Zeal: I got help with the tablet, but I'm no closer to finding Fajro.
-He shakes his head at Jack's question.-
It's been a whole year now. The pain's mostly... well, most of the time it's duller than it was, anyway.
And I'm still really hoping you're right about that, Tagg.
-He sits down.-
So what else do we know about Lazarus? What was that about him being metal?

Jack: Who's Laine?
Or is that Mel?

-Joseph looks deeply troubled, and possibly near Tagg and co.

-no, Samantha hasn't let go, either-

Fletcha: -to Zeal- "Aww, ok. Good luck with that too, and like before if I somehow happen to hear anything about him I'll let you know."
-to Tagg- "Alright, good to know... I get the feeling I'm going to be learning about quite a lot of things 'before my time' in the the coming months."
-To Zeal-
Apparently he's an aspect of Munn's turned loose or something like that? Likely a cyborg.

???: <Mwee-hee-hee... and what, exactly, might those be the "wrong tickets" for? Could it be... the Excess Express?>
-Vivian, who has totally been following Maggie around shut up, gasps as Beldam rises out of the ground nearby-
Beldam: <What a lovely piece of information!>
Mossdeep Center
Sarah: Again, don't worry about that too much. Nobody could have guessed that a beat-up manor like that would have been filled with gas. Point is, you got out alive, and it doesn't seem like there were any side effects beyond the hallucinogenic effect. Everyone's a little shaken up, but nobody's hurt. Don't worry so much...
-She pauses a moment, then sighs, slumping back.-
Sarah: ...Says the girl who hasn't gotten a wink of sleep...

-Maggie, who probably is indeed with Lucia, sighs-
Maggie: "Yes, Beldam, that's exactly what they're for."
"And I bet you're planning on leaving a surprise for us there, aren't you?"

Vivian: <I'm... I'm good for something, right?>
Beldam: <But no matter! We'll just have to beat you to Poshley Heights ourselves! Mwee-hee-hee!>
-She fades out of sight again-

Maggie: "...And there she went."
-to Vivian- "You're fine, honestly."
"And sorry if this sounds cold to transition so quickly, but we really should be heading for the train."
