Catching on, Jimmy holds up the sword, "I have this... I'm not likely to stab people."

"The Witch is what she prefers to be called, and she is a powerful sorcerous that worked with the Warlords and their army of abominations," Arthur explained, "I was tasked by my ally Merlin to kill every abomination and eventually find the one who caused the curse itself, I had recently just slain the Arcane Dragon after... much misery."

Arthur looked about the Museum and took it all in, "As for the curse... if I am this notable it should be said right here."

There was a section with a preserved parchment describing the curse, "Ah. Here it is."

Arthur began to read it over, "The Plague or the Curse was discovered in Kalos about 3 years prior to Arthur's quest, it brought madness and misery to whoever gained it-"

"-By making it so that every time they were killed by anything, they would be resurrected at the last safe location they had, with knowledge of how they had died to avoid it happening again."

Arthur looked over and in stepped Silas, "Hello there. Who are you?"

Silas was uncharacteristically awestruck, "I-I-I-I'm Silas."

"Hello there Silas, why are you so jittery... and why do you only have one arm?"

~The arm's a bit of a tale but the reason he's so nervous,~ Hacks began.

"I'm your descendant. Silas Grant," Silas finished, staring at Arthur with awe... and the fact that Arthur towered over them at 6'4".

Arthur's eyes widened as he stared back, "What?"

-Amanita's medallion seems to slow the ghost's advance, but it still emerges from the wall and takes a swipe at her - it's Lewis-

-the candle seems to have a dispelling effect on the hauntings, diminishing their strength, but isn't near enough to any of them to do anything significant-

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Current movie: [The Avengers] 

Diane: Why is someone completely different playing Hulk?

Kai: Marvel decided Ed Norton was a colossal fuckwad and kicked him out of the cast.

Diane: Alright, cool. Why is the new actor nothing like the old guy? Why is he an old guy?

Kai: They're only two years apart, actually, believe it or not.

Diane: ...Bullshit.

Kai: It's true. Anyway, Mark Ruffalo was one of the guys who was considered for the original movie before it went to Ed instead.

Diane: Hm.

Kai: Can't decide if it's better or worse than the same problem happening in Iron Man 2.

Diane: Wait, who got a different actor in that?

Kai: Rhodey. Terrence Howard, then Don Cheadle.

Diane: ...That was supposed to be the same character?????? They didn't even try to cast a similar actor!

Kai: Marvel's casting choices are... yeah.

“Actually, now that I think of it, there’s also Kai Amarin, but I already have Pentigan’s number queued up on my phone,” he explained as he handed it to Aphrodite. “Uh, might want to clarify that it’s not me, but you,” he warned.

Lumiose Museum

“Oh, hey Silas,” Colt greeted.

“But yeah, immortality’s a curse,” Colt agreed. “Just try for old age?” He proposed.

Sylveon sanctioned off another feeler to wrap around Arthur’s arm.

“Although, from what I saw, I genuinely figured it had to do with the fact that you seemed unable to see some history described here,” he mused. “If your look of confusion to your Talonflame and his subsequent shrug is anything to go off of.”

Hae-won gets her feather P thing up.

Hae-won: "Should we use the candle to put a stop to these guys?"

Kaisei: "Well, Houndour can typically use Dark and Fire-type attacks..."

And with the current time of day, the moonlight hits Kaisei and he becomes a Mightyena as he sparkles.

Gogie: <But you can also do a few things with poison from what I know about one of them.>

Julius: I see... What causes it? Can it be cured?

"Trying for old age wasn't helpful when you had the Church and the Inquisition on hand to burn you... more than 8 times in my case..." Arthur began, trying to ignore the shock.

His mind though refocused on Silas and Arthur said, "Charlie and Charolette actually... made it to Unova?"

Silas nodded, "The family recently moved back into Kalos before I was born..."

Hacks looked between the two, and Arthur took a step forward to Silas, only to feel something bump against him, he looked over and saw Arvis, "uh..."

Lancelot took over, <Hello there. Why are you over here?>

Gogie: -to Arvis- <I'm not sure what a taguel is, but if it's another word for weremon, then I guess so.>

<At any rate, this is I guess something I would call magic.>

-to Silas and Hacks- <Uh, hey, you two. Didn't hear you found someone else to make a trio.>

Yunwa has been following along. They floss their teeth a bit, then eat the floss.

There is also a Pansear in a pantless mage getup staying close but sorta distant from Arvis.

Lumiose Museum

“That just begs the question of how you - oh, right,” he paused as he removed his wrist from Sylveon’s grip and browsed the exhibit, looking for something that would explain how Arthur garnered their hatred.

Or would have, if Gogie didn’t turn up. “Oh, hey again,” he waved. “How have things been since movie night?” He asked.

Stormchaser, Past

Colt just kept petting Sylveon, who had fallen asleep, as the phone rang. He made it a note to say nothing, not even if someone came in and asked why he was petting a stoned human.

-The maiden keeps cheering and smiling at the battling. She seems rather enthralled by the combat-

-Pent answers his phone-

'Ello?

Yep, you've reached him. What's up?

Elizabeth: "Oh. Makes sense."

Camilla: <Are you sure he isn't possessed by the insane dragon god that controlled my father, Robin?>

Elizabeth: "Takumi, you got yourself into this. Get yourself out."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

F!Robin: "Pretty sure."

"Not completely sure, but pretty sure, given that we found him in a storage room"

-To Takumi.- "I'm with her on this one, you got yourself into it, get yourself out."

-To Julius.- "Apparently, bonding with a Shadowed pokemon, often through fighting beside each other, tends to reverse the process."

 The Room 

I really fucking hate this place...

-Holds out the candle as I go closer towards the Turtwigs-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Colton would find a entire section detailing the Inquisition, complete with a painting of hooded individuals in white robes with a Red Y symbol on it. The information given would detail how the curse was a affront to their beliefs, how people should remain dead and that those that were cursed were walking plague carriers, fit only to be burned. Arthur was just the one recorded as being dumb enough to come back to the same place he was burned at while the other victims chose to flee and avoid the inquisition. The next painting depicted Inquisition Soldiers with Delphoxes burning down homes and grabbing a gaunt looking figure.

As for Arthur and Arvis, "What did they say?"

Silas responded, "They're wondering if you're from the same area as they are."

Arthur opted not to ask why his descendant could understand Pokemon, and just responded, "That depends on if you are from Kalos... if so then yes. But I've learned enough to know that anyone who asks that question usually isn't."

As Gogie arrived, "Well... not really... This is Arthur, my ancestor."

Arthur took notice of all the pokemon coming in, and the large creature that reminded him of the Gluttonous Ogre, one of the first abominations he had to kill. Arthur blinked at how casually everyone reacted to it, "Well then..."

With a sigh he pulled out of a rucksack bag, a paper wrapped around a bit of bark, breaking off a piece, Arthur grimaced as he tossed it in his mouth and started to chew.

He looked ill and groaned, "Hate using that..."

Silas raised a brow, "Uh... What's that?"

"That dear Grandson, is the tongue bark, something Merlin the Alchemist made for me to speak all tongues... I hate using it because it tastes awful."

<But hey it works Arthur, how long will that last?> Lancelot asked.

"About a hour... now, this area is getting somewhat crowded, if anyone else has any other questions can we please move it outside?"

Lumiose

Colt looked at the painting, as did Sylveon. They both spent a little bit processing it. Then Sylveon exhaled rather loudly.

<I think it’s cleared out,> Sylveon observed.

“Good to hear,” Colt whispered as he reached down to pet the fairy-type. “And such good timing, too. This is scarring,” he noticed, almost running a hand down the painting of Delphoxes.

But he caught himself and returned to the group, following them outside. “I’m sorry that it tastes terrible, but I do think I have someone willing to help,” Colt mused.

Lucario promptly materialized and flared Aura around his paw. <Just have to ask,> he said, translating himself through Aura.
