Sarah: Hmm?
-She spins around and sees Diana and Samson-
Sarah: Oh, hello! Sorry, no, I don't live here, I'm just visiting.
Solaceon Town
-Meanwhile, at an ambiguous point in time, someone from Team P might hear their phone ringing-

Diana sighed in disappointment. "Dang it, I was hoping to find someone who could show us around."
"Aren't you holding a map right now?" asked Samson.
Diana turned around and opened her map so Samson could see it. "It's a map of the region, dummy. It doesn't show the cities in detail." She closed the map and then looked back at Sarah. "Anyway, my name's Diana, the clueless boy here is Samson, his Greninja there is Aegir and last but not least there's my Delphox, Soleil," she said, pointing at each of them as she introduced everyone, "you might have figured it out already that we're from Kalos so, where are you from?" she asked, smiling.
"<Well, she doesn't strike me as Kalosian if nothing else,>" said Aegir
"<I think I heard she mention Hoenn>" said Soleil

Sarah: Well, I'm technically from Johto, but I moved to Hoenn just a couple months ago, so I guess you could say I'm from there.
-She smiles-
Sarah: Anyway, I'm Sarah, nice to meet you... Samson and Diana, you said? I'm probably gonna accidentally type say "Diane" from time to time, sorry in advance.

The Pokémon Genius
Hearthome Cathedral
Jacob: -He walks in here, all alone- "... Huh. So... spacious. And empty."
-He looks around- "Helloooo?"
Hello...
Hello....
"... Well."
-He walks to the back of the Cathedral and admires the stained glass window of Mt. Coronet-
"... Creation myth of Sinnoh, Arceus being born and that being the start of the world... right...?"
-He sighs and sits down, cradling his head in his hands- "What's even going on any more? It used to be so simple. Beat the gyms, train the Pokemon, stop the evil guys and the occasional parallel world. But... glitches? This Psyche stuff? The Velvet Room? None of this makes sense any more..."
-He reclines back and thinks aloud to himself- "... At least it's not all bad. I'm not... entirely alone in this. Any more, at least."
"... Though I have to wonder when my story is gonna end... how do I want it to end...?"
Solaceon Town
-Phosphora takes out her X-ciever and flips it on.-
Phosphora: Yo.

"Hoenn, huh? I think that's the region I heard has a lot of different places to explore, I wanna visit there someday" said Samson, trying to remember if it was really it or not
"Johto! I never really had a chance to visit it, if I'm right, it's quite a traditional region, I bet it must be wonderful," said Diana, sounding quite excited
"<These two really aren't gonna stop until they've been everywhere>" said Aegir, letting out a chuckle
"<Someday somebody's gotta have to force those two to stop and I bet it's going to be us,>" Soleil sighed.

Canalave City
Lillianna: Hello, Phosphora. We have... good news and bad news. Or at least, good news and news that I'm rather wary about.
Hearthome City
-Sarah nods-
Sarah: Both are more or less true, yes. And I'm from what's probably the most "traditional" place in Johto, Ecruteak City. It was really nice there, I definitely recommend visiting.
Solaceon
Phosphora: Then I'll keep myself suitably apprehensive. Whatcha got?

"I'll make sure to visit it when I can, yes I will~" said Diana, getting more excited each second
"Though, let's try to enjoy the current trip, yeah?" reminded Samson, placing a hand on Diana's shoulder to get her to calm down a bit, "We just got here."
"Oh, yeah." Diana then coughed as she regained her composure, "Anyways, what brings you to Sinnoh, Sarah?"

Lillianna: The good news is, not only do we have more information on Antumbra Isle, but we also have a more specific lead on the Mistbound Crypt. Specifically, it's of Celestic origin.
Hearthome City
-Sarah chuckles-
Sarah: I'm here for... a few reasons, but I guess the most relevant is that a few of my friends are visiting. How about you?

Bona-Fide Mastah
Fire Below
-Shadow Lane tears back, crying out a guttural scream as he belches the highly toxic red mist at the party, going down to all fours-
-Luckily, protect did what it says on the tin and protected them from it-
Shadow Lane: W...Why...why won't you just DIE ALREADY! I...I can't fail...again!
-He howls-
Solaceon
Phosphora: ... Celestic? On an island? Celestic's about as land-locked as you can get in this region. Why is something like that on an island? Whatever, questions for later. The weird news?
Not A Lawyer
Hearthome City
Lucius and Alice are celebrating the former's first full day of freedom by eating at a buffet restaurant. After a shave, a haircut, and a change of clothes, Lucius is now looking somewhat presentable, though even his signature baggy sweater can't hide the fact that he's still skeletally thin. He is currently polishing off a bowl of noodles whilst Alice enjoys a steak.
Lucius: Man, it's good to be home.
Alice: Technically, you've been home for a while now.
Lucius: Yeah, but at least now I get to see more than just the inside of a cell. Remind me, when was the last time we visited this restaurant?
Alice: Four years ago. You kept hitting on all the wait staff.
Lucius: Ah, now I remember. Good times.
He gets up to grab another bowl of noodles, causing Alice to sweatdrop.
Alice: ...That's your fourth bowl.
Lucius: And? This is the first real food I've had in months. I intend to eat at least a round number of dishes, cost be damned.
The two eat in silence for a few moments before Alice speaks up.
Alice: So, are you willing to discuss what Titan told you?
Lucius: ...Oh, right. That.
He puts down his chopsticks and sighs.
Lucius: He, uh... he told me he's dying.
Alice: Dying?
Lucius: Yeah. Apparently Aura Depletion's left him with a life expectancy of about a year. He told me that he wants to put things right before he... y'know, before it reaches that point. I still can't decide whether to believe him or not.
Alice falls quiet, a pensive expression on her face.
Alice: ...I can't see any reason why he'd lie.
Lucius: Me neither, but it's just... I dunno. There was a time not too long ago when I'd have wanted nothing more than to see him dead. Now, though... ever since I died, I can't imagine wishing death on anybody. It's hard to think about Titan being gone for real. I guess it's a feeling we'll have to get used to, though. You and I will still be here long after everyone else is gone.
Alice: That... you're right. I hadn't considered that.
Silence falls over the pair once again.
Maul: ~That certainly killed the mood. No pun intended.~
Lucius: When did you get in here?
Maul: ~Six and a half seconds ago.~
Lucius facepalms.

"Well, I'm here because I'm a bit of a gourmet, I'm always looking for some new types of food to eat and different recipes so I can learn different forms of preparing the same basic dish," she said, placing a hand on her chest as she spoke "I've heard Hearthome is home to some of the best poffins so I was thinking of learning how to prepare such sweets, after all, Soleil also only deserves the best."
Soleil herself was looking quite happy with the last bit and also very eager to try something new.
"Don't ask me how she manages to stay thin, though. That's a mystery of great proportions," joked Samson, snickering a little bit
"You shut up," said Diana, narrowing her eyes at him
"As for me, I'm just looking for new places, new sights, new experiences. I'm probably not going to be in the city all that often, I like to look around the wild more, it feels less... closed, if you get what I mean," said Samson
"<And considering how much trouble you get yourself in, it also makes it significantly less likely for you to live past 20,>" said Aegir, rolling his eyes

-Izanagi's Protect goes up at the last Possible second as He throws off his Exhaustion allowing him to Protect all those huddled around him.-
Ren: -hearing the poison hiss harmlessly against the barrier- That is some nasty stuff there.

-Lillianna blinks-
Lillianna: ...Hold on. I was under the impression Jastis had mentioned they were separate locations...?
Hearthome City
Sarah: Oh, nice. Are you interested in the contests this city hosts? There's the Contest Hall at the northern end, if that interests you.

"Pokémon Contests huh? Those competitions where you get to show how flashy your Pokémon can be? Well, that could be interesting to watch," said Samson.
"Hmmm... I think I would just watch it too, it could be fun but I don't think I want to take part in one, those things require a lot of creativity," said Diana.
Solaceon
-...-
-Phosphora facepalms.-
Phosphora: I'm gonna smack him when he gets back. Whatever, anyway, again, weird news?
Flying Colors
Canalave City
Lillianna: Right, anyway... we got wind of another group that had traveled to Antumbra Isle recently, despite the fact that such a place is not particularly popular as a tourist attraction. That... wouldn't happen to have been you or Jastis, would it?
Hearthome City
-Sarah shrugs-
Sarah: Hey, fair enough. It's not my passion either, I'm more of a battle-oriented person, working to become a Frontier Brain.

Hearthome City
"Oh? That's an interesting goal, most Pokémon Trainers I meet are interested in becoming champions, not Frontier Brains," said Diana.
"Ah, so that's why you're in Hoenn, I knew there was a Battle Frontier there. There's one here in Sinnoh too if I'm correct," said Samson.
Solaceon
Phosphora: Unless Jastis has found a boat and a huge canal inside the Solaceon Ruins, I doooooon't think so. Which probably means one of three things: Criminals, archaeologists, or criminal archaeologists. Again. Like that time with Jackie.

-Dune comes in, with a pair of burger bags. He stops when he notices what looks like a helmet.-
Dune: ... Hi?
Helmet: Qué tal, idiota.
Dune: ... Deziiiiii, where is there a rude, [Spanish] speaking helmet on the table?
Helmet: Usted es grosero, hombre con gafas.
Dune: ... Really bad [Spanish]?
Deziree: Oh, that's my project from today! I got bored. His name's Lopez!
Helmet: Usted mejor que tengas una hamburguesa para mí.
Dune: I'm not leaving you unattended again.

-Lillianna blinks-
Lillianna: ...I feel like I should have context but I don't. Arceus, coming from two separate timelines is frustrating...
-She shakes her head-
Lillianna: Anyway, let's hope it's archaeologists and anticipate criminals. Or both.
Hearthome City
-Sarah nods-
Sarah: Yeah, I wanted a way to set myself apart from the usual goal, as well as from my mother's. And I'm considering facing the Sinnoh Frontier as well, to train up for the end of my Hoenn Frontier challenges.
-She gets momentarily distracted noticing Lucius and Alice in the distance, and waves to them-
