"*Chuckles* I say Ditto to all that, my friend! It'd be a Fainting shame if it were otherwise, ha ha ha! (...) *Smiles* Indeed you are, and I'm eStatic to see your sense of humor hasn't gone unRock Polished!"

What a punderful reunion!

(...)

"*Wanly Smiles* ....Yes, I have, and I don't begrudge you for keeping such sordid information concealed from me. After all, we all have things in our past we so rarely wish to divulge, and I'm more understanding of most about such reticense. Come from being an experience sociologist, I suppose."

Among other experiences....

The reveal of the Moltres Egg catch Ven completely off guard, his Sunny Day and Charming demeanor broken as he gasps and looks very taken aback.

"By Reshirm's divine white radiance....!"

His expression then shift to something half-way between excitement and awe as one of his hands reaches to touch the Legend's Incubator, before a flash of trepidation crosses him and he pulls back, looking apologetic and a bit bashful.

"Sorry about that....uncothness, Heart. I should know better by now to succumb to such Legendary Allure, but I suppose we can't always manage such unflappability...."

He doesn't have anything to say about the rare collector's reasoning to 'trust' Cosh and continue his path towards great Earthpower (Though his expression turns almost painfully neutral), but he does solemnly and respectfully nods when they declare their intent to use such supernatural power to restore the humanity of those Kadabra, and by doing so redeeming their Clan's legacy and begin anew. Such aspirations is easy to get behind for the eccentric researcher, even if they're fueled by magics best left out of the hands of man and forever forgotten. 

That moment of camaraderie wouldn't last, however, as the sudden manifestation of Fire on Heart's part causes Ven to sharply recoil away from it and them, staring at both man and magical Fire and appearing extremely unnerved, tense, agitated, and even somewhat fearful, until he managed to regain a degree of control back and deign a very reserved response.

".......Heart.....please cease your......conjuration of fire, and don't ever do it front of me again without due warning. You should by now know my......disdain towards the arcane, supernatural, and magical, and while I have been trying to temper myself towards those things for everyone's shake, such......unexpected displays do little good for me or the progress I've made. I apologize for being so rude about this, but....I'm not ready to handle that aspect of you."

Saying such, Ven doesn't have much more to say to the pun lover (or anything else to say to him at all right now), hastily regaining his composure to give his farewell to them before Teleporting away ASAP.  Oh dear......looks like time and effort hasn't fixed the oddball scientist issues just yet....

As for Terra, he doesn't have much to say either, but for very different reasons, as his happy and proud nod back to Heart speaks for itself and more. Why waste words, when a simple gesture is enough?

Bibarel just knows all the HMs it can learn, and of course Unown just know Hidden Power. As Dragonstrike asked earlier, the HMs known by Bibarel are the corebook versions, not the legendary versions.

Chorizo smiles. "Pokemon elements are an example of the different ways Earthpower can manifest. And so are the shapes of the earth, and the lifeforce or existence of a Pokemon itself. To be considered a force, it must have the ability to change itself or others. I think all of the above can do so."

"Peace is an amazing use of Earthpower. One that some of my students have not been interested in. I say this not as a judge of what is moral and what is not, but simply to remind you that peace is a tool that can open many doors."
"Protection can be a means to an end, but it can also be a goal in and of itself. Earthpower flowed forth from all corners of the world and manifested as Pokemon, for the sole purpose of protecting Nature. Some say humans should follow their example. Objectively, Earthpower is stronger when used to protect Nature, but of course that is not the only way to use it."
"The human mind is a very interesting use of Earthpower. Though we're one of the only species of being to speak and reason and invent, we're not Pokemon and we are not a direct manifestation of Earthpower.  The language we most speak is the same language Pokemon understand, the language of telepathy, the language of Unown, the language of Slowking."
"Your next task is indeed one of survival. We go to the desert around Charring Cross. You may keep your Pokemon and medical supplies, but the only tool you are permitted is a knife. Your goal is to have enough food, water, and shelter to last a week. We'll see whether you need to spend the whole week out there or not, but the test is to be prepared to do so. Do you understand?"

"As for the answer to my puzzle! Hehe. There was no right answer. Though I suppose you could say there are infinite wrong answers. Machines are not Earthpower, though their components may be. Emotions are not truly Earthpower, but they're a result of Earthpower and a way to access Earthpower for some. For me, I prefer... neutrality. The Void of space is not earthpower. The sun is, despite being made of fire and not of earth. I think you understood the lesson quite well. On to the next lesson."

Keni: "I'm just not very good at drafting cards for practical purposes. That's just not how art works. Perhaps, as a Contest performer, you understand that in some way."


Using Sari is a fantastic idea for a Kimono Girls contest. She's the ultimate trophy Pokemon. The only downside is that she's a little slow, but you manage to find dance styles that fit with her speed. The crowd for Sari is far bigger than that for Milotic, and that's saying something.

Kricketune, you'll be mixing the concrete. Crustle, provide him with gravel and sand, please. Golisopod, water." Your other hires also have the tools to get this lab in operation ASAP. Though the fine amenities will take longer, you'll have a basic structure by tomorrow thanks to how fast these Pokemon can work.

Machamp consumes a mountain of food every day, and sends you to acquire more. He needs lots of expensive fruits, nuts, and nectars. If you request enough moves, he'll order a Vitamin.

Moves she wishes to have tutored

First, she brings up a catlike creature held in blue and white with two bushy tails and folded ears, Kyuu meows in greeting and nuzzles Shiva before tilting his head towards this big HinduGod-like Machamp here. Huh, what's this curious being?! His prankful nature is surpressed by the massive psychic power they are holding AND all these scary stuff around.

"This, Machamp, is Kyuu, a treasured and close companion of mine. Once a small and fickle Espurr, I've thaught him control over his own psychic powers... He already knows how to channel those into a shield made of pure light, before the foe has a chance to act even. Please, help him with a skill similar to that, a skill that will summon a shield from which direct physical attacks are rebound..."

Reflect on Kyuu: Learnt at Lv.35 x 75 = 2625$Poke


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The next Pokemon brought to the scene is a small white fox, it's featuring a striking resemblance with a Vulpix but doesn't quite fit - the white fur and puffy tail make it Alola's icy regional variant of Kanto's firefox. As Shiva's treasured kitsune spreads said tail, some hailstones fall from the sky. Just a few however as Shiva quickly calms her special Vulpix and introduces Delta Machamp as none to fight. "Quite the contrary, dear one... He'll help you tickle awake something that's dormant deep down within you. ^_^" Now Alola-Vulpix's all ears!~

"Like I just shared, there is some extraordinaire Earthpower pulsating through my Vulpix's body - a certain skill, a specific odd power is released shall what is sleeping be awoken. Please, Delta Machamp, awake said power..."

Extrasensory on Alola Vulpix: Learnt at Lv.39 on Kanto's and Alola's Vulpix x 75 = 2925$Poke


----> Total 5550$Poke

"Whoosh. Good to know. For a moment I imagined I had said the wrong answer." Upon hearing the need of survive for at least a week, Heart accept the challenge. "I not gonna refuse this challenge. I imagined I would to do something like that. But if you permit in ask, how this gonna sharp my connection with Moltres and Earthpower sheganingans?" Heart would accept the training in either way, but he cant help but to ask his "master". He has other question too. "Also, can I change a Pokemon of mine in my party, or I only permitted to carry the Pokemon I currently have?"
