Forte: It was nice to meet you too.

Shadow: <She's probably a stalker, you realize. Look at what happened with Piano's fangirl.>

Celeste: <But she looks so nice though...>

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Ralts: <Uh, it's really not much trouble, you know...>

Kricketune: <...I'd agree. Especially since he shouldn't be travelling with us in the first place...

Ponyta: <Nonsense, we just need to->

-She notices the group-

Ponyta: <Ah, hello. Would you happen to know where humans usually drop Poke Balls?>

Mireille: ~Uh, Sergey, the Ponyta just asked us if we know a place where people drop Pokéballs.~

Mireille: ~Yep, or at least somehow aquiring them without money.~

Sergey: "No real idea for a good place to be honest."

Mirielle: ~Wait don't they sometimes just lie around in places where no normal human would look?~

Sergey: "Well... yes they do, though I don't know of such a place."

Aicha: <You're way too normal then... maybe I should put a few Touga Berries into your drinks again.>

Mireille: ~... Check your water before drinking.~

Sergey: "Uhh... okay I guess? Anyway, as said, I don't really know a good place, why do you need them by the way?"

-Due to not being from Hoenn, none of the three know what Touga Berries are and, as such, decide to just leave that matter for them-

Ponyta: <Oh, we need one for him.>

-She gives a headpoint at the Ralts-

Ralts: <Uh, it's not really a big deal.>

Kricketune: <Well, she thinks we should get one for him.>

Ren: Come in.

-The door opens and a Prinplup waddles in.-

L'cirufe: How are we finding our friends this occasion?

Ren: Hello, L. We are doing good I suppose, but recent events have raised some personal questions so I'm about to do some research.

L'cirufe: Oh? Shall we assist you finding the tome you heart craves?

Ren: Not this time L. Gamma is going to assist me today.

L'cirufe: We are quite curious as to how you will discover that which you thirst for if you do not leave your humble home.

Ren: Like this. Gamma, run searches using the keywords "persona", "Collective Unconsciousness", and "shadows".

Gamma: Affirmative, Master Ren.

-After a few moments Several screens appear, several bearing the name and picture of one Carl Jung◊.-

Ren: Huh?

L'cirufe: We have never seen anything like that! It seems to hold the very thing we hold strive to achieve quench our curiosity!

Ren: My Holo-cane? L, while the display is rather eye catching, what it doing is not so uncommon.

L'cirufe: You must be tugging my foot!

-Ren sighs as he pulls out his tablet and runs a similar search on it before handing the tablet to L'cirufe. The Prinplup's eyes widen in excitement. Ren and his team blink at L'cirufe reaction.-

Ren: -an idea occurring to him- Umm... L... Have you ever heard of the internet?

L'cirufe: Our dear friend, Renard! What is this net you speak of? No net we have seen by the docks do wonders such as this!

Ren: Well that answers that. L, in the library there should be devices called "computers" they—

L'cirufe: Yes! We have seen them!

-L'cirufe droops a bit.-

L'cirufe: But the Keepers of that place are too busy to inform us how to use them...

Ren: Ah. Yeah that makes sense. Well how about this. Why don't I teach you how to use while—

L'cirufe: Of course! We understand that you journey the world! We would be honored to join you if it means we are able to learn how to use computers to manipulate this marvelous net which you use!

Ren: That's not—

-Rio and Kitsune chuckle-

L'cirufe: -digging through Ren's bags- Of course it's a balanced deal! Ah-ha! We found one!

-L'cirufe pulls out a Dive Ball as Ren stand to stop the over-excited Prinplup but...-

L'cirufe: We look forward to this beautiful mutual union!

-Kitsune burst out laughing as L'cirufe activate the Dive Ball

*Whoosh~*

*wobble~*
*wobble~*
*CLICK!*

Congratulations! L'cirufe joined your team!

Ren: -in thought as he picks up L'cirufe's ball- Why? Why do I always get the ones that just jump head first into the Poke Balls?
