From: Ian
Hey Silversmith! Been a while! Thanks for returning my bag to me. I wanted to tell you that back in Lumiose, but when I turned around, you weren't there. As for the J-Team's plans to reclaim the Ultranecrozium-Z, I still don't know if they formulated any yet. I asked Grandpa Reynard to let me know when there is a plan. Also, is there any reason you should be concerned about the Z-Crystal? As in, any nightmares regarding it or anything at all? Let me know if there is... Also, sorry about not having answered right away. I was in White Forest and the experience I had there is one you would probably describe as "trancelike"... Anyway... About what Pokémon do for fun... Well, they often like to do what the trainer likes to do, and sometimes they go their own way. I would assume that's how it is. I'd know for a fact that Raru likes to play in the flowers, Totoro, my Snorlax, likes to sleep, Oshawittle practices his swordplay, Miyako, my Misdreavus, likes pulling pranks, and Piku-chan likes to play video games and likes to play outside as well... Now, I'm not sure what your Pokémon might like to do, so you're on your own for that one. But I would recommend trying to learn more about your Pokémon's individual personalities... That's all I have to say for now. Talk to you later, Silversmith.

Silversmith read Ian's text and was quite confused. It read almost as if Ian knew about his nightmares, which didn't make sense. Still, the reference to "nightmares regarding the Z-crystal" was too specific for him not to know... Was Ian some sort of psychic? Silversmith decided to prod for more information.

To: Ian
From: Silversmith
Thank you for the advice. I'll take it to heart. You didn't respond late at all. There isn't any particular reason for worry. Nightmares seem absurdly specific; what made you inquire about them in particular?

Silversmith was about to type a reply to Shadow, when he simply showed up.
Silversmith: "Oh. Hello."
Cortez: <Hi Mischief! How's the illusions going?>
Armando: <Hello. ...Where's Ophidia?>
Cortez snickered at Armando's request.

-Ian reads Silversmith's text and understands his confusion... Ian could answer "yes" just to be sarcastic since when it comes to his newfound powers, he is inept, but to be totally honest, Ian has had nightmares about things he was incredibly stressed about. Especially during his journey through the Unova region when he was worried that his Pokémon might not be strong enough to help him earn the Gym Badge he was aiming for. Ian replies to Silversmith's text with all the honesty in his heart-
Textspace
From: Ian
You're most welcome. And I was inquiring because of everything that happened in Lumiose, what with "Izaya" stealing the Z-Crystal right out from the smoke of that Weezing's Explosion. I know what it's like to be stressed out by something so much that it affects one's sleep. This was the case especially during my first journey over 4 years ago, when I would have nightmares due to my worrying about losing the Gym Battle and not being able to earn the badge. I inquire because I've been there. So don't worry, Silversmith. You are not alone.

Me: Now, I think we should get going, Piku-chan. Those books aren't gonna read themselves.
Piku-chan: <Yeah, and if they could, that'd be weird...>
Me: Yeah, but with what WE'VE seen, that would be just the tip of the iceberg.

Shadow grinned, with Mischief mirroring him in a manner that was rather cute.Shadow: Hey Silversmith! Been a while!
He sent out all his Pokemon, hesitating briefly when he got to Selina.
Ophidia immediately approached Armando, stubby arms out wide before she (carefully to avoid getting burnt) hugs him.
Maverick and Snowy immediately nuzzle, then Snowy sticks her tongue out at Ophidia.
Ophidia: -rolls her eyes- <Oh, how juvenile...>
Maverick: <Are you two ever going to get along?>
Snowy: <NEVER!!!>
Maverick: <I was afraid you'd say that... Anyone got some dice?>
Mischief: -Glomps Cortez- <My training is going wonderfully! And Shadow and I have been bonding!>
Scorch, mumbling: <Lucky mushroom...>
Shadow: Quite a selection, huh? And with my own talents added to the mix, we're unbeatable! ... Maybe. I don't know. Man, I've been hoping to get into the Contest circuit for Mischief's sake... She's still rather shy with strangers when she's not performing. And I think Snowy here would do well there too. I also intend to battle some Gym Leaders... Maverick will be the Aerial Ace up my sleeve, as usual... But Scorch seems outright desperate to Evolve.

-She hands a salad bowl to Merah.-
Gwen: Here's the salad you asked for!
Merah: <Thanks.>
-She returns to various pans on the hobs. She shifts into Gourgeist form and conjures up a shadow ball, carefully lowering it into one of the pans. She then grabs a spoon and stirs it vigorously. She then shifts to human form and empties the contents of another pan onto a plate.-
Gwen: It was you who asked for the Torchic stir fry, right?
Eva: Yup! That was me!
Gwen: Ok, now I just need to wait for the Slowpoke tail to be done.

Delta laughed as Zatara translated what Mazinger had said, "Oh my Arceus really? The Cacturne really speaks with a Southern accent? That's hilarious!"
~It's amusing yeah.~
Delta smirked as he turned to a grunt, "How goes the leak?"
"The information is processing slowly sir, GeoSoc should have enough on the Aurabolts and Jackal soon enough."
"Discounting what I've been keeping myself of course," Delta thought, smiling a bit.
"I have to ask sir... if I can-"
"You can Whitaker, how are your kids?"
"Doing well sir, I'm looking forward to my time off soon, they miss me."
Delta sighed wistfully, "Don't worry about that, they'll see their mom soon enough. So, your question?"
"Yes... why are we leaking this information? Especially these bits about their dealings against you and the guild. Isn't this a poor idea for security?"
Delta let out a snort, "Well good thing it doesn't have sensitive info, I had it scrubbed personally. The reason is simple, it adds public attention and scrutiny."
"You want your enemy seen by the public?"
"Yes, the reason is simple, bystanders don't like to intervene, they always want someone else to step in. So, build up a hero, a image, a icon, and then crush them. You either make a martyr or crush hope."
Whitaker stared at the Hunter, "Uh... Is that all?"
Delta laughed, "Well not totally, a few other reasons. I like Jackal, and if we keep him in the public eye going after pokefutures and our... purged members, it means that he's less likely to attack me. Keep him busy, easier than just going out of our way to antagonize him."
Whitaker didn't buy it, but she was paid well to do what she was told, "Whatever you say sir."
Silas stared at the box before him, he blinked at it, looked about, picked it up and carried it inside.
He stepped into the lounge and set it down on the table, whistling, Hacks running over, ~Yeah?~
"Search."
Hacks saw the package, ~Got it.~
After several seconds, ~Normal package.~
Silas grumbled, "How did it even arrive here?"
Roxy walked over with a cup of coffee, "What you got?"
"Delivery."
"Neat."
"Not neat, very not neat, no clue as to how the hell it got over here."
Roxy shrugged and sipped her coffee, "Does this really bother you that much?"
Silas grumbled, "It's unmarked as well."
Roxy rolled her eyes and just opened the package, revealing a small flash drive, and what looked to be a patterned hoodie, "You're paranoid."
She plugged the flash drive into the big screen as Silas pulled the hoodie out and saw it resembled the pattern from his Jackal outfit, and the left arm was a glistening silver colour with a bright cobalt blue star on it.
The screen booted up and it was Giovanni, with several delivery psychic mons, "Heeey Silas! Great news, the show got tested back home and it was a hit, your friend Rogue was voted most popular on the list and the merch is selling like hotcakes back home, your paycheck is coming soon but for now there's a little something to tide you over. It's a custom made hoodie, based after your Jackal outfit! Oh flip up the hood!"
Silas did as told and lifted the hood up, showing two Lucario ears on it, "Huh..."
"If you're excited, you should be! The show drops in a few days over here on your universe, merch will be rolling out shortly, sadly you'll have to mediate merch requests but let me say, your superhero buddies get this stuff free if they just ask. Also paychecks for them later, blank name of course but it works out. As for what makes the hoodie I gave you so special, I talked with some people I know and it has a enchantment on it, the people you are close to and such will see the pattern of your actual bionic, others will see the pattern Jackal has in the cartoon! Hope you enjoy! Ciao!"
The video cut, Roxy laughed a bit, "He's not so bad."
~Nah I'd say he's still evil,~ Hacks commented.
Snakeye shrugged and then said, <Free loot! Always a high point with me.>
Silas in the meantime had put the hoodie on, and honestly admired it, and then slipped on his Cobalt stars jacket overtop, "I think I got a new look."

Cavendish: <Um, not to interrupt the angsting but where did Petey's Pokeball go?>
Neon: ...Huh?
-he looks to see there is indeed a missing Pokeball, and Petey himself is nowhere to be seen-
-He looks out the door and sees a green Aipom waving the Pokeball around in a taunting fashion-
Neon: Hey!

Oh yeah, it was founded by like three Mews. Which I guess newsflash there's at least three Mews and I'm pretty sure the three that started Ersatz Alliance were each a different color.
-They smile broadly-
I'm guessing you're new so welcome to the insanity hidden under the plexiglass masque of the world. I'd say the hidden truth but it's not like anyone's hiding it on purpose.
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Guys, bad news, this weird Ditto - probably the one Shiki mentioned - just made off with one of my Pokemon. I have no clue what it's planning to do with Petey but we've got to find it before he gets hurt.

Route 2
Shadow was wandering down Route 2 beside Mischief when he got Ari's text. Pulling it out, he read the message and grinned a bit. He texted back:From: Shadow
Hey Silversmith! It's been a bit, where ya been? Anyway, I've found Pokemon often have individual ideas as to what is and isn't fun. Maverick enjoys games of chance, for example. However, many actually enjoy the activities their Trainer do, such as battling or Contests. I've been meaning to enter the League proper and the Contest circuit, but never got around to it. Mischief loves to perform for an audience, it's the only time she doesn't show her chronic shyness. Most Pokemon enjoy being pet and groomed, and many are quite willing to do tricks if you give them treats. Now, for the ones YOU have... Aqua seems to simply enjoy time with you as a whole... Armando is a bit trickier, but Ophidia's been missing him, so maybe it would cheer him up to see her. Your Muk... I know literally nothing about... And then there's Cortez. I don't know what makes him tick, but maybe you do. I suspect they've made suggestions already. But let both sides make a decision. I'm on my way to Accumula Town now.
Almost as soon as he hit Send he felt something trying to remove his wallet. Rushing to turn around and keep his wallet, he saw a Purrloin. He grinned as he raised Scorch's Pokeball.
Shadow: Well, well. Looks like you're my Dark catch of the day! Scorch, I choose you!
The Litten landed in front of the Purrloin and blinked. He hissed and ruffed up his fur, while she froze, pretending she wasn't doing anything.
Shadow: Scorch, hit 'em with Ember!
Wild Purrloin: <Oh, dearrr.>
Scorch: <There's nyo way you're escaping! Nyan at all!>
Scorch used Ember!
Wild Purrloin: <AIEEEE! OWIE! THAT HURT!>
The wild Purrloin used Scratch!
Wild Purrloin: <Ngh... I think I chipped a nail... I'll REALLY get you for making me do that!>
Scorch: <Agh! Why you! NYO MERCY!!!>
The two lunge at each other, and after a few unprompted clashing Scorch emerged victorious.
Scorch: <I win! I am nyumber one!>
Shadow stands there dumbfounded for several seconds before remembering he wanted to catch the Purrloin and throwing a Dusk Ball.
Wiggle...
Wiggle...
Wiggle...
Click!
Gotcha! The wild Purrloin was caught!
Still somewhat confused, he sends her out.
Shadow: All right, um, what's your name?
Purrloin: <I'm Selina, grandmaster thief!>
Mischief: -raises eyebrow, tilting her head- <Selina? As in, Selina Kyle?>
Selina, weakly: <... No. Shut up.>
Shadow: All right, you know what? Since thinking too hard about whatever just happened will only give me a pounding headache, let's head to Accumula Town to see Silversmith.
He returns all except Mischief, and starts walking. Mischief mimicked his every movement. Or was he mirroring her movements? Neither of them knew or cared, accepting it as a sign of their growing bond. They'd always been close, but after Mischief evolved they'd become more so, moving similarly to one another.
Accumula Town
They paused briefly at the Pokemon Center for a quick rest - and some snacks - before continuing to Silversmith's house.
There Shadow waved to Silversmith.
Heheheh
