Message reads as following.

My, Ven.... You surely are a sweet one. Ehm, glad to hear you're doing mostly fine, and even more glad that you managed to acquire some cash! However, I don't know how ready the others are and whether we could head to Mount Sentry in the morning instead of the afternoon. I do have to bring the book on loan back to Stair City in the morning, first.

Also, honey, please don't spend too much cash on Mr. Finder. It's a thing I'd like to have ALL of us pay for, EVERYONE should contribute at least a bit of cash to hirering him. Leaving out anyone here doesn't feel fair to me, even if it's simply me with this sentiment.

I, well.... concerning that Cleanse Tag..... Ven, I'd indeed appreciate to see how Maphena (was that your Misdreavus?) reacts to it before we head to the Cementary. I DO want to head there one way or the other... The creation worked rather well and I followed every instruction and advice I could get, but still something seems to be...amiss.

I'll meet you near the entrance of the Eastern Pokemon Center. 'til then!~

It wasn't before to long that Ventus received a reply from his most blessed of friends, which caused him to smile fondly as he read the concern she felt of over his financial situation and the pariaty involved in paying Mr. Finer. 'With the payment I received for Chandelure, I believe Poke cost will not be a pressing issue for awhile, bar unusual circumstance or further expenses for our expedition into Mt. Sentry later, so her worries are not completely justified any longer. Still, I appreciate she cares enough to caution me regardless....what a wonderful woman,' he thought as his mind lingered over the first two paragraphs, before he moved on and scanned the rest of her message. He was a bit distressed at her insistence heading over to the Graveyard, and her doubts over the power of her Cleanse Tag did his mind no comfort, but never the less he let out a small *Sigh* and nodded to himself. 'If she desires to face the supernatural, then she will not do it alone. I just pray we Encounter no Ghosts or similar beings like Chandelure, or worse still....'

That unsettled but still resolute though in mind, the researcher got up and went over to the PC to rearrange his party into the following line up: Raphael, Apsis, Michael, Malphena (Who was still out and was now hover beside her master post Honey Consumption Bliss), Lucifer, and Abaddon. That line up not only consisted of his most powerful family members (bar Ao Gaung, who was still a liability to use around others), but also had powerful support capabilities between them all and sustain/bulk that would prepare them for almost ANY form of adversity/situation. In other words, perfect for not only rendering aid to his dear girlfriend on their hunt, but also for the upcoming expedition into Mt. Sentry in search of Anthenum....

Oh, and he made sure that Lucifer and Malphena received their Wide Lens and Evolite back respectively, much to their great joy!

Ventus then exited the Pokémon Center and waited for Shiva, silently greeting her with a wave and a smile with banshee by his side.

(Alright, I'll leave you to do the intiation and testing out the Cleanse Tag on Malphena, while I wait for you to transition us to the Graveyard. I rather keep conversation to a minimum/on the way/in the Cementary, as I want to get the next day started ASAP so that we can FINALLY go after the Secret Library in earnest!)
