Chandelure doesn't appear. But two Litwick briefly show up, right out of the flames. They land on the man's outstretched hands - he looks confused but curious. Then he goes about in a frenzy, unpacking his notebook and scribbling down a bunch more things, all while laughing loudly. "Aha! Ahahaha! Yes, yes, this is it!"

The Litwick start to fade away again as soon as he starts this.

Ventus has a mixed reaction towards this sudden turn of events. For one, he was exasberated and a bit miffed that this interruption took place, as it meant the Ruin Maniac would linger in this area for even longer. However, their reaction at the twin Litwicks appearance suggest whatever discovery he made related to them manifesting themselves, which was an intriguing prospect to the revenge minded scientist.

In the end, the researcher decided to follow his gut feeling and approach the man now, ghosting out of the shadow with nary a sound until he was a comfortable distance away from them, before announcing his presence in a deep, raspy tone of voice.

"Well...well, I wasn't expecting.......others to be hunting for Ghost types.......around here. Haven't had.....much luck myself....but you seem to be......cottoning onto something......if you attracted two Litwick to you. Mind sharing how......stranger?"

The man is extremely startled by your strange appearance. He raises his notebook, ready to fight you! He doesn't lower it as he speaks.

"It certainly wasn't on purpose! But it certainly was a happy accident! I came here to study this ancient artifact of the First Technical Society. It's extremely interesting. It bears extraordinary resemblance to other artifacts used by the FTS within their own homes, so I think, yes! Their use of plumbed or piped natural gas for heat and light - quite extraordinary! Those Litwick are a direct manifestation of that, oh yes, hahaha! And it all led to another discovery...which I shall never share, no, never! Never!" He clutches his notebook closely to him, in direct contradiction to his earlier use of it as a potential weapon.
