Floaroma Town, some time ago...

Ashley: <Cynthia? Where are you going like this?>

Cynthia: <Shhh! Let Phaz and Embry sleep! Grab me, i'll show you something.>

Ashley: <Okay... What is it?>

Cynthia: <Something you don't see everyday...>

-A Teleport later...-

Cynthia: <It should be here... There!>

Ashley: <Uh? What is this?>

Cynthia: <I found a blanket so we can lay and watch the stars together!>

Ashley: <But why not take Phaz with us?>

Cynthia: <Two reasons: he would be too tired to enjoy and he's already sleeping. Same for Embry.>

Ashley: <Mmm...>

Cynthia: <Go ahead, help yourself.>

Ashley: <Thanks.>

-Beat-

Ashley: -somehow laying down and looking at the sky- <Just realised... Less than two years, Phaz and i where not able to communicate, apart from that book i used to write what i would've said... Now, it just feels like i can directly talk to him. I've never came around to thank you...>

Cynthia: <I should thank you... Before you rescued me, all i know about the outside was my memories of the time i was still walking through the wild... Now i have many new memories... It is i who will never be able to thank you and Phaz for freeing me.>

Ashley: <Heh. We help each other...>

Cynthia: <Yeah...>

-Beat-

Cynthia: <The stars are beautiful tonight...>

Ashley: <Yeah... Magnificent, even...>

-Beat-

Cynthia: <I've always wondered...>

Ashley: <Hmm?>

Cynthia: <What are we to this world? I mean... We exist, but how does it affect some other's peoples lifes?>

Ashley: <Oh... I dunno. Human have been thinking about that too. Read some books about this, and i still don't know how to even handle the question.>

Cynthia: <Well i've been wondering a bit... And i've come to the conclusion that this doesn't matter.>

Ashley: <Well that's anticlimatic. Why come to this conclusion?>

Cynthia: <I just think that whatever happens was decided by fate and luck. You know Future Sight?>

Ashley: <That one attack you keep using when you're playing videogames with Phaz?>

Cynthia: <Yeah. That one. I may be wrong, but the fact that some simple mon can see in a relatively near future is either some serious compensation of the event, or, well, the ability of reading a predestined future.>

Ashley: <So what about the luck factor you've mentionned?>

Cynthia: <It's the reason why you can't see longer that ten seconds or so.>

Ashley: <Well that's an interesting point of view...>

-Beat-

Cynthia: <The stars are pretty tonight...>

Ashley: <Yes...>

-Sholto is not interested in the shininess at the moment, so just heads to the sound of the noise-

Solaceon

-To Erin as she leaves-

See you around.

Nice kid, hope she doesn't get hurt in there, I didn't get a chance to properly check out the Ruins to make sure all the residual Glitch stuff is just residual.

-Seeing the next figure making their way over as I prepare to fly off -

...And it would seem I am very popular today.

Zrone's Base

-As Sholto heads towards the source of the noise, it appears to be a locked door with several robots being assembled behind it, as well as what appears to be another elevator-

-There is a convenient vent open above the door though-

Chundona Village

-Yury takes the Celebi mask down- "Now keep this one safe, this one was fabled to be a gift from the actual Celebi herself, in a faaaaar away land known as "Orre". It was brought here several generations ago to help us when the Pokemon lost all sense of benevolence and almost acted like mindless beasts."

-He thinks- "Well... things on the Isle have been strange lately. Gysers and fumaroles have become active again, after hundreds of years. Mt. Ketsueki, a loooong dormant volcano, has also become active once again. And people swear that things are... wrong. Sudden folds in the air, or sudden shifts in the trees, things like that. I think it is just the fog, playing tricks in the light, but... well... anything is possible."

Old Chateau- 20 minutes until sunset

-Huet seemed ecstatic, while Imamu just sighed. The group now +2 ghosts, made their way to Reset and Save's room. The only thing of note besides the usual furnature and dust, was the blank TV in the center of the room.-

Reset: <I'm not gonna help with this. Just find th-the key.>

Audra: <Considering that this room belongs to two Rotom, I doubt that you do not already know where the key is, guys. So go ahead, go get it.>

-Sholto sighs, then, after noticing the vent, heads up it-

Hearthome

A guy with a hoody is walking around. A little Scraggy pops out of the hood and looks around.

May be approached.

Mask Stand

-Dane regards the ask almost fondly-

Gotta get that flute back at some point...don't wanna disappoint you, ma'am...

Dane:An active volcano, I see...

-He stores his masks safely-

Thanks for the info, dude.

-He begins to walk to the Northeast-

Later.

Jason's Room

-Beat-

-Beat-

-Beat-

Zrone's Base

-A Wall/door near Blitz may be blasted open via a Hyper Beam-

Jason:Someone call a DPS? :D

-Shinobi is peering down the shaft when Jason arrives, and makes a startled croak as he flails, then takes a step back and whirls around-

Shinobi: <Jason?! Geeze! You nearly made me fall in>

-Sigh-

<Glad you're full of energy after that mindscape trip. Haven't seen anyone, but pretty sure they're down there>

Solaceon

-Jastis leaps out of the trash heap with Phosphora and grabs Gabriel and drags them away from Tagg- "Sorry to bother you mister Tagg! Come on guys we have wooooork."

Zrone's Base

-After a few bumps in the vent, Sholto comes out in the room of the Robots-

-They all look up at the bird, do a synchronized head tilt, and then all hurl Thunderbolts at him-

-In regards to Blitz, there is noticeably no response from Jacob-

-Sholto gets clipped on the wing, but manages to retreat into the vent-

-He gets out a ball and thows it, releasing Raser from it-

Raser: <Er... what's going...>

Sholto: <Machines. Deal with them.>

Raser: <Well, if you're certain...>

-He rushes at the machines, trying to Cross Chop some of them-

Solaceon

-Scratches head-

Whelp.

-Gets on Draca and flies towards Route 207-

Hearthome City

Silas is walking along with the entire team out.

Amber: <Feels good to stretch my legs!>

Tae: <Well after Yesterday, he figured with more eyes and ears he could find members of the J-Team better.>

Snakeye: <Well hopefully him wearing that mask again won't get him punched.>

Silas: Even though I can't understand you, I can tell you are talking about me.

Hacks: ~They are just concerned is all.~

Silas: I'll be fine, besides, I have some great friends to help me... *spots the guy with the Hoody and the Scraggy* Anyone else getting a sense of significance off of them?

As he looks at the team, they all nod.

Silas: Well. Let's say hello.

Zrone's Base

-Several Robots are shattered by the Cross Chop(s)-

-A few that survive turn towards Raser and their eyes gleam as beams of Psychic energy, Psybeams if you will, focus down on the Primeape -

Sinnoh Skies

-As Tagg and Draca near Route 207, a cloud of gleaming wings zips by them, then circles back around, a cloud of mechanical Zubats and two larrrrrge spherical machines intercept him-

-The swarm of Zubots release a cacophony of Supersonics, Screeches, and Hypervoices, while the two larger drones both blast at Draca with synthetic Hyperbeams-

Hearthome

Des notices Silas approaching.

"Heh. They think I'm important, funny."

He looks back at the Scraggy.

"Maybe we can get a fight out of it?"

The Scraggy nodsnods.

He nods slightly as Silas approaches.

"Hello."

Hearthome City

Silas: Hello there, you are?

Hacks: <Anyone else get a bad feeling from this?>

The others nod a bit.

Hearthome

"A trainer."

He smirks, his piercing green eyes glinting a bit.

"Our eyes have met. As custom dictates we are supposed to battle."

The Scraggy leaps out of his hood and hauls up its pants. It should be noted that both trainer and mon have hand wraps.

"Ambrose here is just a newborn, but I condition my mons quickly. Sandbags don't hit back though. Would one of yours be willin' to spar?"

His accent has the slight hint of Kalosian to it, but with the verbal ticks of a Unovan cowboy.

Hearthome City

Silas: I suppose so. I'd be fine with a quick spar. But who to chose, my Typhlosion, Lucario, Swampert, or my Cacturne.

Tae: <It would be kind of amusing if he picked me.>

Hearthome

"Well he is still just a baby. I'm not cruel, but he needs to know what it's like to be in a real fight and to know when the odds are stacked against him."

Ambrose starts bouncing on his feet.

Hearthome City

Silas: Well the youngest of my team is Amber. But as you can see, she's fully evolved.

Amber: <Hey didn't we have some trouble with a Watchog on our journeys?>

Hacks: ~Well we could use her.~

Hearthome

Ambrose is tapping his foot impatiently.

"Just...give him the cactus."

-Raser is struck by the Psybeams-

Raser: <Ngh, these things sure are adaptable...>

Sholto: <That's Zrone for you.>

Though maybe...

-He comes out of the vent and shoots a Thunder Wave at one while Raser continues Cross Chopping-

Hearthome City

Silas: Alright then. Snakeye you are up.

Snakeye: <Gonna ignore that earlier comment.>

Silas: Alright, whenever you are ready... Ready. Set. DRAW! Pin Missile!

Snakeye: *in a flash lifts a arm from under his poncho and fires a pin missile attack at the Scraggy*

Hearthome

Ambrose eeps and ducks, pulling his pants up to his eyes.

"Dirty trick, but that's my thing! Sand Attack!"

Ambrose kicks sand at the Cactus.

Hearthome City

Silas: Can't start a battle any other way.

Snakeye gets sand in his eyes, and blinks, he can't see straight.

Silas: Take a turn, defend yourself from the next attack.

Snakeye raises arms in a defensive block ready for attack.
