"As much as you might not like it though, I am going to take you up on the offer. This, 'Almanac,' whoever they are, may have harmed Ralts. If they did, I can't just let that stand. Particularly if they've been doing similar things to other pokemon. Since you don't know, let me tell you why I want to go after them first.

"As I'm sure you heard in the lab, Almanac's book has data in it concerning cruel and unknowable information about the pokemon listed within it, including ralts. Since Mallorn didn't tell you how I found Ralts, I'll tell you now: I found Ralts a year ago in that forest at the base of Mt. Molten. He was bruised, battered, beaten, and barely recognizable as a Ralts. Someone had done something horrible to him, and then seemingly left him there to die...it was a miracle I managed to get him back to a pokemon center for treatment..." Ralts and Nathan both shudder at the recollection of that day. Neither wanted to remember that situation. Swiftfire nervously shuffles around as well. She remembered that day too...the amount of worry Nathan had felt then had been infectious...

"If they're doing unspeakable experiments that result in that on pokemon and publishing the results in that book of theirs, there's no way I'm standing around and doing nothing. My pokemon and I will need to defend ourselves, whether we find them or they find us...just imagine what might happen if they find out Ralts is still alive and someone knows what they do with their experiments when they're done with them...like it or not, I've apparently gotten myself involved in something big. And I don't want to go down without a fight." Nathan grabs Vincent's hand. "I don't want to do it very much either, but I think it's necessary considering the situation." Nathan's stare is intense as he looks at Vincent. He's determined to see this through.
