Geordie's day is going from bad to worse.

Being stuffed by his boss, by Nathan, and now by this giant man riding a dragon and holding chopped up Scimitar technology, the Scimitar apprentice opens up.

"I'm just a grunt, man! I mean, Sir! I mean, an apprentice, Sir! We're part of the Water clade of the Scimitars, wizards who strike fast and cleverly! Our...spells...are actually technology, invented by Almanac and supplied to us! The gauntlets connect to special Pokeballs on our belts and access some of the powers of the Pokemon! That way, human intelligence controls the Pokemon's power directly! None of this silly proxy battling. No giving orders, no Pokemon suffering pain. It's a lot more versatile than a Pokemon going into battle! It takes a long time to learn to use, though, and you have to be wired in."

"Us, we've all got Psychic Pokemon loaded in our belts - Alakazam, Hypno, Natu, Starmie, Baltoy, and Duosion. Juni told us to boot up Alakazam, use his Ally Switch and Reflect and Psychic, and take down the investigators!"

"It's real simple, actually! That trainer in the Skull Ruins, he's looking for some ancient weapons. Juni and her bosses want them, but you have to meet certain requirements to wield them! There's a sword, and a shield, and a few others... I don't know exactly, maybe two more? But I do know this: to wield one, you have to be...have to be....more than human."

"The shield lets you free minds from all forms of psychic control, and weather ANY attack! The sword can pierce any level of defense, even a legendary Pokemon's armor. Like Dragonite. The other two let your mind speed up and empower you somehow. We don't know much about them, at least I don't. They're in the Ruins somewhere. Within five years, the Water Scimitars will possess these artifacts! That's when they'll be needed, within five years. Dunno what that threat will be, but when our army of mages defeats the threat, we'll be hailed as heroes!"

"So, you see...we're not really causing much harm. Only to those who try to stop us or ruin our plans. One day, my friends will save the planet! And all without risking a Pokemon's life."
