"Well I always want to ask you something: How you three have meet? You know: You, Shiva, Ventus. Did you always been link to each other like that? How you all meet?"

Nathan shrugs.  "Just all met back at Mallorn's lab in Trillium.  He had various things for each of the five of us that met there that day...permits, job offers, information, a job for those working for him...things kinda just started from there."

It is now Day 61.
Encounters are never resolved until everyone's had a chance to say which they want. Valder is an exception by his own request - he just hops in if he happens to come online.

Still no sign of any bugs pursuing you! Slurpuff doesn't even smell any nearby.

As discussed, you use your new Rock Smash access to take a shortcut, which leads you downhill. You come to a very strange cavern. The walls glow with a somewhat familiar meteoric sheen! Nathan can identify it as Meteoric Superconductor at once. The geology of this place suggest it has sunk from far far far far above, and become filled in. Broad muddy grooves in the wall, marking the area's path, have metamorphized into stone. The floor is extremely tough granite, flecked with MS.

The air is very heavy. Your movements, too, are feeling sluggish in the weird atmosphere. You can expect to become tired after 2 Encounters, instead of the usual 3.

That's still not the strangest thing about that cavern. There's grass growing, in complete absence of light. It's the Long Grass which presents occasional patches aboveground in Creshire, the scent of which always attracts Pokemon like a Sweet Scent. It's growing up from a crazy web of cracks in the granite, where mud has seeped through, and it swathes the entire floor except for a thin strip near the walls. The brush absorbs your light.

Kirlia narrows his eyes at it, as if thinking about something in his... past?
Gothitelle, by contrast, seems very comfortable.
Slowking is merely curious. But all the Psychic and Dark types feel a little weird here.

Lots of Pokemon rustle in the grass.

Flashback!

"I understand. Well, I gonna sleep now. After today we need to rest. Gonna go now. Good night Nathan and rest well."

Flashback end!

A new day have begin. After the events of past night, Heart recover very well. No bugs and no angry Legendary pokemon. Heart them look in the direction and see a Beldum! "Neat! With another Beldum along with the one I will hatch...hohoho future Metang here we go!"

After seeing that, he see the little one lurking around. Heart careful aproach and see the little Beldum. "Hello there little one. Sorry to bother you. Can I talk with you for a bit?"

Beldum just rotates in the air, somewhat helplessly. Its single eye remains fixed on Heart. Every now and then it floats lower to the ground and bounces slowly off of it. It gives the impression of floating in space like you've seen astronauts do in videos.

''Awww ^^ What a cute one. Well, thats a nice place you call home. But do you ever want to evolve into a more powerfull form? As a might powefull Metang? Back in my home, I have a egg of Beldum too. Still need to hatch it, but when it hatch, you two can meet each other and transform into a almight and powerfull Metang. What you say Beldum? What to hang out with me and get a neat form?"

A simple enough strategy, but a legitimate one!
Empathy: (4)(2)(6)(6)
Will: (4)(4)(5)(2)

Beldum shakes its head/eye and scrabbles at the meteoric vein. It would like to evolve, but it prefers staying right here where the meteor stuff is.
