Orlandeau: I'm ready.
Cid: Good. Meet me at the dock in Canalave City tomorrow evening.

Cid: Are you sure you're ready to do this?
Orlandeau: I've been ready for the last ten years, Cid.
Cid: ... Alright. See you there.

Cid: Doctor Raines, I presume?
-The lean, oddly athletic dark-skinned male nearly falls off his observation tower in surprise.-
Dr. Raines: Cid?! Holy crap I thought you were dead! Well, I guess I owe Previa twenty bucks. How're you doing, you old whatchamacallit?
Cid: It's time for us to meet again.
Dr. Raines: Wait, really? You think I'll just uproot myself and come hither with but a single phone call?
Cid: ... Yes.
Dr. Raines: Oh, you know me so well! The time distortions here aren't nearly as interesting as they used to be, anywho. Oh! That reminds me! I need to tell you about some fascinating phenomena that's been going on in the Alola region over the last while!
Cid: ... Interesting. We'll talk after we meet.
Dr. Raines: Where and when, Doctor Bunansa! Where and when!
Cid: Canalave City, docks, tomorrow. You'll probably see Bart there, too.
Dr. Raines: UUUUUUUUUUUGH! Not that stick-in-the-mud!
Cid: Raines...
Dr. Raines: I know, I know. Fine, I'll be there. Hell, I'll be there today.
Cid: You don't have to-
Dr. Raines: Bye!

-Raines grabs his backpack and slides down the ladder of his tower before sprinting off towards the coast.-

Interesting...
Muddy: <Any idea what it is? It's not a Gem, or a Mega Stone.>
Looks like a Z-Crystal, but I'm not sure which type. I guess we could go look it up later. Either way, it's useless without a Z-Ring.

Cid: Hello...?

Cid: ... Previa?
-The gaunt, thin latino man on the other side of the phone spits pure bitterness.-
Previa: Those bastards at Silph! They laughed at me! They took my research and fucking laughed!
Cid: Donald, slow down.
-There's a deep breath through the phone.-
Previa: My- my research. My research on everything! Telepathy, telekinesis, weather control - Cid, Cid, I was this close - this. Close. To finding the secret behind the lost art of pyrokinesis. And they LAUGHED! They threw me out, took it all - my labs, my apartment, my equipment - but, but Cid, they didn't take my mind. They couldn't.
Cid: ... Doctor Previa.
-The reminder of his title calmed Previa's shaking nerves.-
Cid: Meet me in Canalave City, at the docks, tomorrow evening shortly after sunset. Can you do that?
-There's a long pause.-
Previa: Yeah. Yeah, I can.
Cid: Good. You'll see Dr. Orlandeau and Dr. Raines there as well.
Previa: ... Raines.
Cid: Donald, please. Not now.
Previa: He put a live Spinarak in my goddamn lunchbox, Cid!
Cid: And Bartholomew will be there. Nothing like that will happen.
Previa: I... f-ing... Fine! I'll be there. You'd better be, too!
Cid: I guarantee it. Goodbye, Doctor Previa.

-To Maggie-
If you put a Z-Crystal in your Z-Ring and do a special dance, you can do a Z-Move. It's kinda like Mega Evolution, but for individual moves.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

I know there's ones that work as long as the mon knows a move of that type, and others that only work with a certain species, and often a certain evolutionary stage at that.

Cid: Good, good. Tell me, how would you like to join me and the others in Canalave City in a day's time, near the docks?
Aulstyne: ... Cid, dear, if you are full of hotdogs...
Cid: "Hot air", Johanna, and no. I'm entirely serious. Orlandeau, Raines, and Previa are going to be there as well.
Aulstyne: Previa and Raines?
Cid: Previa is in no position to argue, and Raines is... Raines. Can you make it?
