The researcher was quick to pick up the confusion his answer generated within the boy, quickly put two and two together, and so decided to further clarify his statement in an attempt to rectify that. "Ah, we never gave you an explaination as to why we requested a meeting with Director North this morning, did we now? Hmm....well, I arranged it for myself and Shiva in order to obtain the Kingdra and Gothiltelle for ourselves at a reduced prices. Suffice to say, we both made deals with him to work at the Shelter for 8 hours a day for a week, while I arranged to get in touch with Dr. Mallorn and see if he could contribute to the Shelter's funding and offered to advertise for them on my journies through Cheshire. We all stand to benefit from this arrangement greatly, so I've delighted with the outcome in all honesty!"

" .... *A raised eyebrow greets the news about Rotom* ... Are you positive you want to own another species of Pokemon known for its ability to play havoc with electronic, often for no more reason than its own amusement? If you are willing to accept the task of reigning it in and instilling discipline them, I have no qualms about it, but be aware that Rotoms, while rare and elusive in many regions, are infamous for being one of the most mischievous and devious Pokemon known. That is, of course, completely disregarding it being a Ghost type or propensity to hijack various pieces of technology whenever its suits their fancy. I distinctly remember one that managed to infiltrate my University's servers and electrical grid, and it took the better part of 3 days for my associates Porygons to hunt it down and contain the little menace while they put the database on the fritz, corrupt or destroyed countless files, and irreparably shorted out several computers and several important + sensitive pieces of tech. The sheer cost and set backs that little imp caused us.....it still rackles me thinking about it, but I digress. I suggest that when or if you do obtain it that take it to the city's Junkyard and work out its destructive impulses there, instead of electronic on your person like your phone or Pokedex, though it might be beneficial for it to do so in the later case if that model is compatable for its latest discovered form. Hmm..."

(Guess Shiva's doing her battle with the Director first at this point?)

Oh.  Negotiating lowered costs.  Huh.

"I'm positive, Ventus.  I'm going to say again what I told Sheldon last night: one bad apple in the wild can ruin an entire species's reputation.  If everyone views the species negatively, then who's going to give an individual from it a chance?  And it's not the only highly disobedient species I would have that fits that description.  Oh, and last I heard, the Alolan pokedexes were designed specifically for Rotom to use.  Which baffles me to an extent, to be honest, because I haven't yet heard of anyone finding a wild Rotom in Alola...regardless, I think bringing Rotom along would do a lot of good for both it and Porygon-Z."
