[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Mikaruge108]

Spoiler

Uxie begins thinking out loud, mostly to themselves.

Whatever is tampering with my historical records, it's incredibly powerful. I wonder if this is linked at all to Dialga's symbol on the Mystri Stage dimming...? Tampering with time would seem like a logical way to blot out history from my records...but Dialga itself would normally never tamper with such things, either...hmmm...whatever it is, though, it's only blotting out specific parts of it, as if it is hiding how the act was performed, but not the act itself...curious...the disappearance of the Heatran and other individuals, the imprisonment of myself and my siblings, the sealing of the Azure Flute...and above it all...nothing concerning Spear Pillar in the last six months. As soon as my records reach the point where the Mystri Stage was turned into a makeshift prison, all records of Spear Pillar simply vanish...and yet, there's so many reports of time dilation and contraction in and around Mt. Coronet recently...and a handful of spatial distortions, though not nearly as large scale nor prevalent...something must be deeply wrong at Spear Pillar for such events to occur...

Uxie turns to look at Kee briefly before going back to pondering.

...and then there's that mystery. Before their sudden appearance in the Cave of Knowledge, I have no records of anyone who match his description at all. How curious...it's almost as if he shouldn't exist in this world...he is very much real, though, as I just proved...hmmmm...I wonder...

...and there he goes. You just had to get him started, didn't you, Randolph? He's gonna be trying to solve this puzzle for who knows how long now. He was probably going to do that anyways, but...well, we should probably discuss what you guys are going to do next in the meantime. Ya helped ol' man Genesis out and freed us, but I'm afraid your work is far from over if you're aiming to fix the problems Sinnoh's having lately.

Yup! Just say the word, and we'll make a Red Chain for you to use! If something really is wrong with Dialga, you're probably going to need it...

'Course, we won't blame ya if you guys don't want to help, but I don't think Lucas is gonna have an easy time doing it alone, even if he DOES have Legendary power at his disposal.

"Well, Azelf's not wrong. I have a couple tricks up my sleeves, but not having the Lake Trio to directly assist in the fight is going to have a huge impact on how the battle goes. If you guys are assisting, though, I think we'd be able to manage without too much difficulty."

Gene finally speaks up after listening to all of the ongoing conversations.

"...it seems we're all in quite a pickle now, aren't we? Well, once you're all ready to return to whence you came so you can get on with your adventuring, Abra will Teleport you there. His nap time should be over soon. He's a bit of a night owl, you see. I'm afraid that I can't do much more to assist you all than that. Now that I have access to the Sinjoh Ruins again, though, I can monitor it more carefully. Hmmm...yes, perhaps the form of a Kitsunoh would be sufficient for that task, now that Uxie has reminded me of that creature's existence...or maybe a pokemon with Insomnia..."

I'm sure that whatever form you take, Genesis, you'll do a great job! Er...once you finally decide on one, that is...Azelf, do you think his memory's still as sharp as it used to be?

...I'm not sure, Mesprit. I thought I heard the Unown saying it was starting to slip in the last few thousand years...maybe it was just baseless gossip or random chatter though...I can never tell with them...

"Oi! I heard that, younguns! When are you going to learn to respect your elders?!"

...no offense, Genesis, but if you're struggling to get past a couple of Abomasnow, I think you've been spending too much time as a human...

"...*sigh*...perhaps you are right. It is an experience unlike any other though, I'll have you know, and I don't regret my decision in the slightest. Ohhohohoho."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, not human? Then what are you then, 'Genesis'?"

"In any case, I'm glad to see you all here, and not just because you seem to be alright. Based on what I've heard from Gene, what you've done here only further validates my recommending you guys to Professor Rowan for this expedition to Mt. Coronet that we're all about to embark on. And also assures me that you can handle yourself, Kee. And yes, you heard that right. I'll be joining you guys, both as added protection and also as a guide of sorts. I've explored Mt. Coronet from top to bottom, including the incredibly difficult to reach Spear Pillar. It took a little convincing for the League to agree with Professor Rowan that it'd be a good idea for me to go on such a long and likely dangerous trip, but hey, I think it's warranted, as does Professor Rowan. Doubly so if we're going to end up facing a Legendary. If we all work together, though, I'm confident this mission will be a success!"

At Lucas' revelation that he'd be the help brought in, Karen's eyes go wide; "Wait... I know Rowan said you had a personal stake in this problem, and I kinda figured that you may get directly involved, but I didn't expect that to actually happen!"
