Hello readers, I apologies for the delay which was partly due to lack of energy and partly due to me preparing some bonus material which I will release at a later point but wanted to have ready in advance. Since the date is almost here I might as well say Merry Christmas! For those of you who do not celebrate Christmas for religious reasons, take comfort in the fact that this holiday is the biggest one of the year not because of its' historical value but because a fat man in a red suit breaks into everyone's houses and is applauded for doing so. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, please be Merry anyway because it is a great time of the year.
Before the chapter starts I would like to share several pokémon theories with you to see whether they have any validity or are just my wishful thinking and random tangents. I have no way to prove any of these and it is very likely that the first one, even if it is true, will never be officially acknowledged.
UB theory 1
Nihilego is the poison rock ultra beast and very famous for its' ability to drive its' victims permanently psychotic. However from watching interactions in the game and the limited amount I know from YouTube AMVs, (I lack a legal, and therefore virus free, way of watching the anime directly) I have noticed a disturbing pattern. In the sun & moon games a Nihilego attacks Guzma and he recounts how it took complete control of his body. He does not mention using his pokémon to break free and appears very much sane in all his subsequent appearances which indicates that it didn't inject its' legendary venom. From this I can conclude that it probably let him go. Nihilego attack the player while they are with Lillie and seem to respond on mass to Lusamine in an unnatural way for wild pokémon.
The main thing I can distinguish between these different reactions is that Guzma is male and Lusamine and Lillie (who is next to the protagonist when they attack) are both obviously female. In the anime when Faba opened an ultra wormhole the first time and a nihilego came through, it went straight for Lillie and completely ignored Faba (who should have been closer). During the second time a more aggressive nihilego batted Faba and any male pokémon aside and then homed in on Lillie and Lusamine. Now I don't know about you but from all my hours of watching nature documentaries and knowledge about biology only leaves one explanation for why a creature would want one gender over another: Something to do with reproduction.
I may be completely wrong and I don't think Nintendo would ever consider confirming it but I think the theory has a lot of merit and I wanted to see what everyone else thought. It could be something as simple as needing certain pheromones that their bodies can't naturally produce or could be the full blown tentacle monster and/or parasite egg impregnation. We will probably never know for certain but the way the nihilego reacted to Lusamine in the game certainly reminded me of drone insects taking orders from a (future?) queen.
UB theory 2
Guzzlord is a dark dragon ultra beast and the only one from sun & moon that didn't have its' natural habitat shown in ultra sun & ultra moon. I would like to take a crack at guessing this and certain aspects of its' biology by approximating off its' appearance. This ultra beast apparently never stops eating, never produces any waste products and is apparently a common organism in its' natural habitat. This in my mind is a contradiction because no planet can sustain life forms that eat everything none stop, convert everything to energy and only return things to the environment when they die. The planet would simply disappear.
From this I have to conclude that since Guzzlord can't open it's own ultra wormholes and gets stuck and panics like the rest of the ultra beasts when it falls through them, there must be something in its' natural environment that can satisfy its' appetite for some time. Looking at that giant mouth it's pretty obvious that it eats a lot and from the dark type it might actually be a subterranean creature. So if I combine these facts (and the part that it knows several ground moves but not dig) I can get a picture of something that tunnels through the ground by eating everything in front of it.
Why does it do this? Perhaps most of the food it eats doesn't actually nourish it that much and it consumes what is before it deep underground to extract a super heavy mineral of some kind. Stories do have dragons collecting and occasionally eating gems and metal and I think it could get energy from fission (because if it was fusion then it would just suck up hydrogen all day long).
Taking a look at the rest of the body, we can see that it is quite round and slow moving. This shape would help for turning in a narrow tunnel and the lack of side on defence capability indicates that it is not in an environment where predators could attack from the side. In a tunnel whatever it find in front of it is either food or combatable with its' jaws and pincers while behind it is a mace tail. Anything that tunnelled underneath it would be crushed by its' falling weight and the large horns above it would deter other guzzlord from attempting to crush it from above.
The small arms at the top of Guzzlord's body seem fairly useless for combat but could be used to grab if a trinket it found and wanted to collect rather than eat. However I think they would mostly be used for grooming and/or cleaning fallen dirt off the top of its' body. The small 'head' with eyes would allow Guzzlord to take a look above ground (and possibly breath) without fully exposing its' body to potential threats. The arms would also be more useful defending against threats in this particular scenario.
The last thing I would like to point out about Guzzlord is that it learns belch. If it digests things with fission then most of what it eats would be broken down again and again until only simple gasses are left. These could be expelled along with any toxins it doesn't like and would be Guzzlord's none obvious by-products.
Cosmoem Theory (Less theory, more pointing out obvious fact)
Everyone makes such a fuss about how people can carry around this pokémon when it is so heavy. What I think everyone forgets is that the pokédex lists its' mass, not its' weight (Despite saying weight for the people who are unfamiliar with the scientific distinction). This pokémon clearly floats; therefore it has a weight (AKA downward gravitational pull) of zero and can be pushed around by a Joltik.
Evolution level theory
Last theory before the story. In the games pokémon are often encountered that are either way above or below the point at which they should have evolved. Evolution is considered by most fans to be induced when a certain level of strength is obtained and then combined with willpower or a perceived need or want to do so. In the wild I think most pokémon would want to evolve sooner rather than later to avoid being eaten.
Evolution is also an indicator of the lifecycle of the pokémon and should also take a fair few calories to do. So when a pokémon is over the level that it should have evolved at it is probably malnourished and will evolve once it gets a proper diet (probably from a trainer that catches it). When a pokémon evolves earlier than the level it should then I believe that either that pokémon was unusually weak or lived a lifestyle where strength wasn't necessary. The pokémon grows older and eventually biology kicks in and it evolves to its' adult form without the necessary level because it is well past its' youthful years and can't stay a baby/teenager.
I can't explain why owned pokémon don't evolve when they should but thanks for reading the theories (for those of you who didn't skip my extra long authors note) and do tell me what you think of their validity. If you want to share them on a chat room, please tell people where you read it. I don't really need credit but having people intentionally claim other people's ideas as their own leaves a bad taste in my mouth so have some courtesy or tell me if you saw a dated post somewhere that was smart enough to come up with these theories before me.
I do not own pokémon as it belongs to The Pokémon Company, Game Freak and Nintendo. Long may they reign!

Chapter 4: When Forces Gather
In Pallet town at Oak's Lab, Leaf Green had had a long, stressful and emotional day. It has started after midday when her parents had called and frantically demanded she fly home (across regions) and see the family doctor. Country parents, country lifestyle she had supposed because they had been adamant that she had to come back to Viridian City and couldn't just go to a doctor at her then current location. She had told them they were being unreasonable especially after they refused to tell her why they thought she needed medical attention. Much arguing had ensued and she eventually managed to extract out of them that Prof. Oak, the man who had given her a starter, had called them and alerted them to an urgent matter concerning the families health.
So begrudgingly she had obliged her frantic mother and used her Pidgeot to fly across Japan to Viridian. When she arrived, her mother ushered her to the private practice and had come in with her to the prearranged medical appointment. She had then promptly freaked out when the doctor immediately pulled out the notorious 'cursory handheld psychic scanning rod TM' that was the thing of horror movies involving psychic types the world over. After a few minutes getting calmed down by her mother, she had sat still enough for the doctor to wave the thing repeatedly around her head and had her worst fears confirmed. A 4, a bloody freaking FOUR. Now in tears, Leaf had been escorted by the doctor and her mother to the main hospital for a deep psychic restorative scan or DPRS for short.
They didn't tell her much of what was going on so as to keep confusion to a minimum but they had been willing to tell her that Prof. Oak had contacted them since they used to live in Pallet Town after he had discovered his grandson, who she had never met (Oh Arceus she hoped that was actually the case), was a victim of a powerful psychic pokémon. Her parents had apparently both tested positive and after receiving the (basically mandatory) treatment they had rushed to get in contact with her. Apparently the Professor had specifically arranged for her to have a special version of the treatment that couldn't normally be ordered because of the suspected large volume of altered memories. For reasons they couldn't/wouldn't tell her at the time the normal safety threshold of one year of memories per month couldn't be obliged by due to life and death urgency.
The procedure couldn't use anaesthetic due to needing a minimum level of brain activity and was incredibly painful but ultimately she thought it was absolutely worth every second of pain. Sure the results of the accelerated version of the procedure left her temporarily crippled after experiencing years of enhanced memories that caused her mind to adjust to a body that was way to small for her. However what she gained was priceless. Someone had stolen her entire childhood in Pallet Town. All her memories of playing with Ash and Gary (all her memories of them period) had been replaced with a lonely childhood where all the kids in town were way to old or young to play with. She and her parents had thought that was why they had eventually moved to Viridian City so that she was more likely to visit home rather than getting depressed and avoiding it like the plague. The truth was that they had all been manipulated to keep her away from Ash. Oh Ash, what trouble had you gotten yourself into this time.
So, after all that, here she was sitting in a wheelchair with her parents and Ash's mother Delia Ketchum in Oak's lab. They were all catching up on lost time and looking through various photo albums that had 'mysteriously' remained untouched for five years as well as ones with photos from her and Ash's separate journeys. She wanted to know everything Ash had been up to since they had been forced to part. Now that she knew it was there, his absence was a gaping aching hole in her life. She missed him so much and would make the pokémon responsible for stealing her love away from her pay dearly. Both for robbing her of her feelings and for destroying her childhood memories.
At least Ash looked happy in all the pictures and had travelled a lot more than her. Most trainers tended to stick to their first region or circulate through a few close by and train to re-enter the League and win. Starting over, or just competing in new Leagues with unfamiliar opposing pokémon in general was considered highly unusual. It also irked her that almost all the photos had an affectionate girl with him. She didn't mind Misty because she always looked grumpy in photos but for these newer girls she could see a distinct change in body language occur over the course of the year or so that they had travelled with him.
Then there was Anabel. As a girl she had paid quite of attention to the news that one of the most powerful trainers in Kanto had disappeared off the face of the earth. Female trainers had to stick together after all but when Anabel had been found Scott had initially celebrated the event and then just as quickly tried to hush it up. So to see the girl that had ended Leaf's frontier challenge already here and briefly tell everyone how a Mewtwo (what ever that was) had tried to dispose of her when she was going to tell Ash her feelings sent a cold chill down Leaf's spine.
At that moment her mother pulled her out of her thoughts to show her a picture of one of Ash's most recent starter pokémon sleeping in his unzipped backpack with the bags prior contents strewn about the floor. She couldn't help but give a girlish squeal at how cute it was.

In the grounds just outside Prof. Oak's Lab Gary stood with the help of a pair of crutches and his Blastoise hovering protectively behind him. Assembled in front of him was all of Ash's pokémon that were kept at the facility. Ash on his early trips through Johto and Hoenn had occasionally regaled Gary with his encounters with legendary pokémon. After that Gary had always made a point of asking Ash about new encounters whenever they had a chance to talk.
A noticeable and scary trend Gary had noticed was that Ash was just as likely to challenge an aggressive legendary with his Scraggy as he was with his Charizard. Now an unexpected encounter could be somewhat excused but this time they had advanced notice about what they were going to be challenging. So Gary was out here as the sun set deciding which of Ash's pokémon they would take to Alola so that Ash had an appropriate team to defend him.
Ignoring SMOGON doctrine that pokémon with lower stats just shouldn't be used; there was one main reason why you didn't challenge a legendary with a pokémon like Scraggy or Bulbasaur. Small pokémon had small bones and small bones broke rather easily when hit with boulder sized attacks. They also couldn't save Ash from say falling to his death if a Legendary Bird showed up and decided to drop him from a great height.
The problem was that Gary getting them all to gather here and the guarded battle ready stance of his Blastoise and Umbreon next to him alerted them to the fact that something was wrong and that Ash was probably in trouble. Consequently they were all determined to get picked. Now Gary could technically bring along more then six of them but handheld switchers were more expensive than bikes, pokégears, pokétchs and Xtransceivers put together.
His grandfather had personally checked each and every one of his and Ash's pokémon with a cursory handheld psychic scanning rod and they had all come up clean. Apparently Mewtwo had decided that a language barrier would be more then sufficient and most of the pokémon hadn't thought that much of it when their trainer simply stopped mentioning certain people. Now that they knew however they were all hoping mad. Unfortunately they didn't know, nor could they tell Gary exactly who Ash had forgotten but when was life ever easy.
Still, Charizard and Krookodile were a must. The later was a high level dark type and Charizard was one of Ash's strongest and could fly. The earlier conversation with Iris indicated that Mewtwo was doing this as a job and not just for kicks. That meant that Mewtwo would probably have backup and most legendries could fly. Delia had nearly fainted when she found out that a legendary pokémon had a JOB specifically dedicated to ruining her son's romance life. It was kind of funny . . . until she started yelling.
But back to topic: who to choose since Ash would still use Pikachu regardless. Most legendries were flying, dragon or psychic so maybe Glalie, Noivern would be a good choice too. So many variables to consider.

Back inside the lab, Anabel fingered the dark crystal pendant she had been given as one of many prototypes. It felt weird and stopped her from communicating with Espeon but no one else would probably notice anything. She sat at one of the workbenches with Misty while Prof. Oak and Noland argued over variables.
"I still can't believe Mewtwo would do that to you," said Misty in disbelief, "I mean he was kind'a rude but he was really nice."
"Yeah well, I still hate him," Anabel replied tersely. The idea that anybody could consider themselves friends with that monster was disturbing. She was also miffed that Misty was completely untouched bar her initial encounter with the tyrant. It didn't surprise her in the least that he used to be a megalomaniac bent on world domination. Chaining Ash up must have seemed like the perfect job for him.
"But why Ash? Couldn't they pick some elite veteran like Lance for the job of saving the world? It make more sense," questioned Misty.
"Based on the research I did with Looker and the International Police, the Chosen One is picked for maximum lifespan use and can't be a world leader or someone already famous with political sway. They want to keep these disasters as quiet as possible to avoid people asking question or trying to use them to learn how to outwit the worlds natural system," Anabel explained with detached professionalism, "Then when the Chosen One eventually fails and dies heroically to save the world, Arceus uses the incident to make globe spanning cultural reforms that benefit pokémon and people. If the Chosen One rebels or neglects their role, a new one is chosen and the old one is quietly disposed of because they are carefully managed to ensure they never reach champion level. I hate it and I will do anything necessary to save Ash but the set up is a lot cleaner and nicer than some of the other ones I've read about in the Sinjoh Ruins for other universes."
Misty just stared at Anabel in horror with her hands over her mouth. Anabel just looked back down at the black pendant. It was too brittle. This was the strongest and longest lasting prototype so far, cancelling out all psychic energy around the user while thankfully not affecting any insulated poké balls. But all of that would be worthless if Mewtwo could just telekinetically chuck a pebble with enough force that it would still travel the extra metre and smash the pendant. Noland and Prof. Oak had abandoned their initial dusk stone and machine designs in favour of creating an energy storing crystal that could soak up dark type attacks and let the energy permeate outward over the course of two months before it dissipated completely. "You wouldn't happen to know of a dark special move stronger than dark pulse would you?" she asked Misty.
Snapping out of her daze, Misty replied "I had a challenger last month with a Zoroark that used night daze but apparently that move is supposed to be its' signature."
Anabel let out an exasperated sigh, "Where are we going to find a Zoroark on such short notice. Dark pulse is good but it's not potent enough to block a Mewtwo. The crystals keep exploding due to the quantity of energy dark pulse needs to reach the calculated level."

Around the same time in Alola it was well after dark. Ash and his friends had decided to stay over at the pokémon centre to keep J company and get to know him better. They had talked a lot about general pokémon knowledge but they got the distinct impression that J wasn't thrilled about their choice of late night game.
"Go fish. My turn, Kiawe do you have a wishiwashi," said Ash as he munched on a subway sandwich.
"So J, I know you've been avoiding the topic all night but what's your world like?" enquired Sophocles.
"Mmm, part of the whole idea of staying inside the neighbourhood is that the worlds aren't that much different," mused J as he handed a card over to Lana, "But I suppose if you keep asking I might as well cover some of the basics. A neighbourhood is a section of the multiverse that mostly has the same rules and general history. Due to the laws of relativity the further you go from your home universe, the more different the worlds you will find, while smaller leaps are more likely to lead to worlds that are very similar. For us, our neighbourhood is basically any universe created by an Arceus."
"What else would create a universe?" asked Lillie at the completely bizarre idea.
"Disturbing things, that's what," J replied flippantly before continuing, "Almost every time I've accidently strayed outside our neighbourhood has been a near death experience. Anyway mapping wise, our neighbourhood is divided into four regional sectors: Anima, Gamma, Lambda and the smallest sector Fafnir is right in the middle. All four sectors have distinct recurring traits but they're not like countries with fixed borders. There is no space, and thus no sense of direction, between universes and universes have been known to abruptly change their classification if certain significant events occur. My home universe is in the gamma sector close to the fafnir border. This universe is an anima one."
"That's great and all but your not telling us anything that means something to the none sciency people," interrupted Lana, "Tell us something that's different. Do you have flying cars or purple pikachu?"
"No, nothing like that," J laughed, "Mostly universes just have small cultural differences that are really disconcerting once noticed. As for an example, let me see. How about the fact that none of you are bothered by the fact that the subway sandwich that Ash is currently eating is much longer than the chest pocket that Mallow pulled it out of."
"No," Kiawe deadpanned in depression, "It bothers us but after the third time she did it and taking into account how dense Ash is, we just quietly agreed that it caused less of a scene if we turned a blind eye to it."
Ash looked down at his sandwich then back up at J, "I don't see what the problem is? The food was carefully wrapped so it's perfectly hygienic."
Mallow beamed innocently while Lana and Lillie glared at her. J just face palmed and asked if Sophocles had a Remoraid card.

Faba trudged through the darkness of the docks grumbling while the black box containing the Cosmog rattled in his hand. When word spread about someone with a solgaleo at the trainer school he had temporarily halted his plans to investigate. After finding out the rumours were true and quickly realising there was no way he could capture it to open an ultra wormhole he resumed his original plan of catching Type: Null and Cosmog.
The first part had been easy, a little bit of well timed hypnosis when Gladion arrived home yesterday afternoon. But Cosmog was more trouble than it was worth. Considering how relaxed everyone in Alola was, it should have been easy to steal it when Ash and his stupid friends weren't looking. But that new trainer had been guarding it all bloody day and had actually threatened him when he saw the box in Faba's hand. Him, the great Faba, one of the greatest scientists in the world was threatened by some snot nosed brat that was too lazy to get a job and drivers license like a normal person his age.
But once Ash went home with Cosmog it had been child's play. The boy had even left the Professors lab on some outing and had his Rowlet and Cosmog stay behind so they could sleep. Marching onto his Aether Foundation speedboat he turned to see a panting Gladion at the docks entrance.
"So long sucker," he waved before pulling his boat out of the docks.
: :
: :
Less than a minute later Gladion burst into the pokémon centre lobby where everyone was playing cards.
"Faba pant stole pant Silvally and pant Nebby," gasped Gladion.
Without missing a beat, everyone ran outside to the docks edge to see Faba hadn't gotten quite as far as he would have liked because Aether Foundation boats were super eco friendly and had an auto pilot feature to avoid the massive schools of finneon that came up to the surface at night time. He was still to far for a lapras to catch up to but if someone had a sharpedo it would have been easy.
"Nebby, Ash what are we going to do?" Lillie cried.
"If only we had a ride pager with us," Kiawe growled.
"Give me a moment to switch my pokémon," announced J as he clicked some poké balls into a handheld switcher before throwing two forward, "Go Red Eel and Blue Eel."
Lana numbly tugged Ash's shirt, "Ash am I dreaming or is one of those gyarados shiny."
"It's not as impressive as it looks. Shiny gyarados are pretty common at the lake of rage," J shrugged then turned back to his pokémon, "Both of you, do you see that white boat out there. BREAK IT!"
Everyone looked uneasy at J's sudden feral grin with his last two words as the gyarados howled and shot off after the boat.
"What?" asked J in confusion, "Clearly the best and most obvious move in this situation is to cut off the opponent's means of getting away."
Sophocles raised his hand, "I think this is one of those 'small cultural differences that are really disconcerting once noticed' things isn't it."
"Ugh, why do anima people always assume solutions are made out of smiles and rainbows," J grumbled, "Besides whoever heard of a Gyarados trainer who didn't use it to blow up something at least once?"
: :
: :
Faba leered at the red and blue Gyarados that ploughed through the school of panicked Finneon and came along both sides of his boat. A pair of simultaneous crunch attacks knocked out both his psychic pokémon and he spread his arms wide, "Congratulations, you beat me. Too bad your master didn't think far enough ahead to actually have someone with hands ride you to take back the pokémon I have."
The Gyarados glanced at each other and raised their tails in the air.
"You wouldn't dare," he sneered.
Both tails glowed bright blue.
"You wouldn't," Faba whimpered.
With a practiced motion, both Gyarados swung their tails down and smashed the boat in half cross chop style.
(Fortunately, as stated before, all Aether Foundation boats are super eco friendly so no oil would be spilled as a result.)
: :
: :
Everyone (bar J and Gladion) stared in in horror at the sinking million dollar boat as the red Gyarados came back dangling a bedraggled Faba by the collar from its' jaws while the blue one followed carefully balancing a premier ball and Nebby (whose containment box had short circuited in the water allowing it to escape) on its' head.
"Which ever one of you owns these monsters, I promise I will sue you into oblivion," growled Faba.
"I don't have a passport that would be legally recognised by any government agency on the planet. What makes you think I care about a lawsuit from one lousy thief," quipped J.
Red Eel roared in approval and unintentionally dropped Faba back into the water.

In Hoenn, Norman sipped a cup of crappy hospital coffee to try and keep himself awake. Many hours ago May's estranged friend Lisia had shown up at the hospital demanding to see her and after a tearful reunion they had been talking almost nonstop about contests. While he was happy for his daughter, he was a little concerned that both of them had a clear crush on Ash and hoped that whoever didn't end up with Ash wouldn't be bitter enough that it would ruin their friendship. But both girls seemed to magically be able to skirt around the topic in a way that only gossiping girls can. Noticing that they had stopped talking and were approaching him, he sat up straighter in his chair.
"There's been a change of plans. We're going to Meteor Falls before meeting up with Ash," May announced.
"Ok, sure. Can I ask why the sudden change in plans?" Norman hummed sleepily.
"Well you see, both Lisia and I both like Ash and have agreed to be rivals in love but there was another girl in Hoenn that developed feelings for Ash during my travels with him. It just wouldn't be fair if she had her feelings erased and no one told her so we're going to meteor falls first," May explained jubilantly.
"How vary noble of you dear. What's the girls name," asked Norman as he took another sip of coffee.
"Zinnia, Zinnia of the draconid tribe," beamed May.
Norman promptly spat his coffee. "You mean the vigilante girl that's wanted for questioning by the international police and for whom the league has issued standing orders for gym leaders to arrest and detain on sight after she blew up Sea Mauville?" he choked.
"Yep, that's the one. She's really friendly once she lets her guard down. I'm sure you'll like her," May grinned.
"Your Mother and I are going to need to have a word with you about who you socialise with on your travels," Norman moaned.

Route 14, Kalos
"Can someone tell me why we're trudging through a swamp again," complained Trevor.
"Because some psycho psychic pokémon is responsible for Ash dumping Serena and making Miette forget she likes him," snapped Shauna, "So now they both want us to find Ash's Goodra and Greninja so we can go kick ass and save him."
"He didn't dump me, I was tricked into thinking that Ash rejected my feelings," Serena corrected.
"At least you still remembered that you had feeling," shuddered Miette, "I can't believe your indecisiveness was actually good for something."
Tierno slumped in depression, "Are you sure you want to do this Serena. I'm really glad you're back on your feet again but your life could be in danger. Is Ash really worth it."
"Yes," both Serena and Miette replied in unison.
"Better luck with the next girl buddy," said Trevor as he patted Tierno on the back.
"Come on guys, Goodra is really big. It can't be that hard to find," coaxed Shauna.
"We have been searching for hours and haven't even covered a single percent of this swamp," Trevor countered.
"Goooooodrrrraaaaa!" Serena called for the umpteenth time that day, "Ash really needs your help! Come out if you can hear me!"

Striaton City Gym/Cafe, Unova
Cilan sat at a table with four guests whom he had invited for a free breakfast on the condition that they listened to the urgent information for them. Hilda, Bianca, Rosa and Yancy looked back at him with varying levels of either worry of scepticism.
"You really expect us to believe this story. I'm rather annoyed that your taking advantage of my friend Bianca but four girls falling for one guy in the space of a year is pretty farfetched," scowled Hilda, "To think I really had a high opinion of you as a gym leader before coming here. Even if the other three have had their memories altered I'm pretty certain this Mewtwo wouldn't have been able to get the better of my Zekrom. He is literally a walking manifestation of ideals so the idea of someone else changing his convictions is absurd."
Cilan rubbed his brow in frustration, "Alright then, why don't you go outside, send out your Zekrom and ask him about the Sword of Vale. If his mind is as strong as you say it is then he should have no problem telling you about it and proving me false or realising I'm right."
"Fine, I think I'll do just that," smirked Hilda as she got up and headed for the entrance.
"Look, this all sounds really scary but I don't know if I can justify taking the time off work for a maybe," Yancy apologised.
Rosa shook her head, "Don't bother, I think he just sniffed his Pansage one to many t-"
"THAT CHEATING OVERGROWN PURPLE WEASEL!"
Everyone jumped at the sudden inhuman outburst before Hilda came running back in, "I don't know what happened, one second he was fine and the next he just went berserk. Please! You've got to help me calm him down!"
