Violet finds a nice, lush, grassy path in a canyon to travel on. There is a town in the distance.
[Oh look, a town! Maybe someone there knows where the knives are.]
Maybe, but I'm also kind of interested in this canyon. The grass here is dry, but so green! It feels so nice under my feet!
[This is what plains grass is like. Back at home, the only grass we had was wet and mushy; forest grass.]
Oh, okay. Huh, who's that?
Violet looks up at the right side of the canyon to see a riolu with a sniper rifle on his back, sitting in a tree. He's looking at a picture of something.
[He seems familiar… I think he might be someone that did something with the dimensional knives!]
Great, guess I have to talk to him?
[Yes, but try not to be too awkward]
Violet: "H-Hello!"
The riolu looks down at her.
Riolu: "Hi. Do you have a request or something?"
Violet: "A-All that I r-request is to know something h-to do with th-those knives."
Riolu: "W-What knives?"
Violet: "The ones that send things to di-other dimensions."
His eyes go wide
Riolu: "You know about those?! How?!"
Violet: "Through various stories I've r-heard."
Riolu: "Well I guess there's no use in hiding it anymore then… My name's Diamond, I destroyed those knives a long time ago, only to have my friend sacrifice himself for the greater cause. Those portals those knives create have massive effects on the barriers between dimensions, if they were broken, only chaos will follow."
Violet: "Oh. Well is there anyway to u-use them again? Th-There is something f-from another dimension at my h-h-house."
Diamond: "Are you kidding me?! Do you know who brought that here?!"
Violet: "M-M-My f-father."
[Uhh…]
What? Did I say something wrong?
[No, I'll save it for later, just keep the conversation up.]
Diamond: "Fantastic, well I don't know where the knives you would find one can use. There is only one left, the one I have. I only use it to travel to the dimension where I came from, to visit my best friend."
Violet: "W-Okay, th-thanks for your help."
Violet walks down the grassy path again, towards the town.
So what did I do?
[It wasn't you. It's just that… While I was digging around in his entries, I found something…]
What is it?
[We're… Not his daughters… Never were.]
What?! But how?!
[We're experiments, just like that dragon. We were made to see how a bond between monster and pokemon would work.]
He's no monster!
[No Violet, not that kind of monster. He's one of those monsters from the stories he always told us. He used to be the royal scientist. Until I can only presume he faked his death.]
Wow… That's… Wow…
[Yes. We're reaching the town now, stay alert.]
Violet enters the town, it's a long stretch of shops with a cave at the and, going into a mountain, the town is surrounded by a forest. At the other end, there is another path leading outside the town.
[Okay, best way to do this is to start from the top, and work our way down. Only ask people that catch your eye.]
Violet goes to the mouth of the cave and the first shop catches her, a houndoom selling flash drives.
