Qwilfish: <Oh, cool, what's that?>

Semyon looked at th sextant, smiling

Semyon: <Its... its a parting gift from me old cap.>

He looked underwater to the wrecks

Semyon: <Now I always have something to remember me of me old cap.>

After a short pause he added

Semyon: <And the same goes for him.>

Conference call

Psyche shakes her head and signs. The Collective Unconscious is literally impossible to map. If not actually infinite, it is functionally infinite as it is the collection of the inner desires, thoughts, and emotions of all people, living and dead. Trying to do so would be folly at best and madness at worst.

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Qwilfish: <Cool!>

Walrein: <At any rate, they should be this way... Follow me?>

-He starts heading in a direction-

Conference Call

And probably not just our planet and universe, but others. I've been to the multiversal void, the worlds were countless. The Sea of Souls is likely no different.

-Thinking-

That said, I think Dezi's on the right track. If we treat these Guardians like exoplanets in the galaxy that is the Collective Unconscious, they've gotta be making some stars wobble, and there is where we'll likely find them, though the distortions created by their power.

-Beat-

Or potentially some other horrible manifestation of mankind's most messed up desires, but what can you do, really?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Conference Call

-Ren has been listening to the back and forth during the call and has been keeping silent processing what's been said. Although one detail is nagging in his mind.-

Ren: Mendel, Pentigan said you went "full Oracle". What did that mean?

-Mendel answers.-

Mendel: Archimedes evolved again. And in doing so, gained a - for the lack of a better term - extremely dramatic boost to his scanning and support abilities. Nostradamus was literally able to see the future - or at least the very near future - and was able to formulate the most viable strategy to counter the enemies actions.

Ren: -gears spiiiiin- ... Can Nostradamus See the locations of the remaining guardians - and how to beat them - in the likely case there are more?

Mendel: I... I honestly don't know. Nostradamus said something like he was harnessing the my minds excess thoughts and ideas. I don't know if he meant that as permanent thing or he can only do it when my mind is racing due to extreme stress.

Ren: -thinking of Tagg's suggestion- Then I think Tagg's extension of the "scan the CU" idea sounds like it has merit.

Jacob: -to Verax- HAH!

Ren: The question is, can Nostradamus find the guardians and.or "ripples" caused by their corruptions without any sort of focus? Even when you found Mikuratani before, you had SleepHead's and my connections to the subjects you were scanning for.

-Mendel thinks.-

Mendel: I... I don't know. Even with power donations it may or may not work.

-Ren sits back and thinks on what to do if Nostradamus can't locate the Guardians.-

Semyon nodded and laughed hearthily

Semyon: <Always ready now matey. Now lets find yer crew.>

As he swam behind them he suddenly laughed again

Semyon: <Harr harr, account it to me old age but I've never asked yer fine Pokémon for yer names - or formerly introduced meself for that matter. So aye, the name's Semyon.>

Route 8

Phaz is resting under a Berry Tree.

Embry is tapping in the berries under the tree, while Takumi is discussing with Cynthia.

Maybe they'll interact with someone.

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't gold

Phaz: Oh, yeah, it's fine

sunlitFalcon: Hah, seems like we are on the right track with that!

sunlitFalcon: Though, hrm, that is a good point...

soporificHeadbutter: Well... If we can't find them without connections, try and see if the Velvet Room staff can help us find those connections?

Bobbery: <Oh, no worries. Pleasure to meet you, Semyon.>

<My name's Bobbery. Admiral Bobbery if you're interested in titles. Granted, doesn't apply so much too my current crew!>

Rapids: <I'm Rapids!>

Dhelmise: <Pleased to meet ye Bobbery and Rapids. Say how big is ye crew?>

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Bobbery: <Hm... about 10 peoplemons. A lot of us are from the same Pokemon team, though, and that has a bit over 40.>

Semyon: <Sounds like a mighty solid crew in me opinion. Say, did yer crew ever go through the [[NORTHWEST PASSAGE]]?>

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Bobbery: <Not to my knowledge. Would be an interesting challenge, though. It is getting a bit easier nowadays, what with less ice up there, though.>

Hanohano Beach

Semyon: <Less ice on the [[NORTHWEST PASSAGE]]? Never thought it'd be possible for icebreakers to relieably clear it... technology must've been made a mighty jump while I was guarding me ship... speaking of technology, did those fancy coal powered ships ever catch on with yer crews?>

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Bobbery: <Er, I still prefer sails myself, but many ships nowadays use diesel engines nowadays, since it works better than coal.>

Hanohano Beach

Semyon looked a bit baffled

Semyon: <Soo... neither sails nor steam vessels are... harr harr, probably not all that surprising now that I think about it. Ye probably have to teach me about the new types of ships then at some point.>

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Bobbery: <Certainly.>

-Meanwhile, Rapids spots some other peoplemons-

Rapids: <Mommy! Daddy!>

-He heads over to a Qwilfish and Sharpedo-

Qwilfish: <Elbuort hcum oot t'nsaw eh yllufepoh.>

Bobbery: <Not at all.>

Sharpedo: <Hey, who's that with you, anyway?>

Bobbery: <Ah, I met someone who's thinking of joining our little group and wanted to introduce him to those of you who are here.>

-A Glalie appears-

Glalie: <New crew member huh? Might as well->

-He takes a look at Seymon and begins to shake a bit-

<Th-they're a ghost?>

Semyon waited for Rapids to finish talking with his parents, looking to Bobbery, as the Glalie shuddered he nodded

Semyon: <Harr harr, one could say so, aye. The name's Semyon, may I ask yer name as well?>

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Glalie: <I-it's P-Pa-Patch! D-don't think I'm a softie, for the record! Ghosts are just...>

Semyon only nodded

Semyon: <Aye lad, don't worry. Yer a seaman after all so yer can't be a softie. And don't worry about me.>

Route 5

-a skinny, pale young man with white hair sits cross-legged in the tall grass, eyes shut-

Another green world.

-A young, freckled Caucasian boy clad in a gray trenchcoat accompanied by a Vulpix spots the white-haired man.-

Shaun: "He looks familiar."

-Jessica racks her brain.-

Jessica: <Oh, he was the one who was with Isbrand and that other guy! You know, the Alolan Vulpix? Something with a J? Jackson? No, Joseph!>

Isbrand: <Hark! I believe I heard mention of the appellation by which I am renowned?>

Shaun: "Speak of the devil..."

Jessica: <Oh, hey Is!>
