"*Sighs and Nods* Indeed. For now, we stay on the down low, but try to build as much positive rep as we can manage. It'll be hard, but who says we can't have anonymity and fame in one nice lump sum action? *Shakes Head* Not sure about a tyke taking down Da Boss and his Rockets, though. What Viktor did was more a series of freak accidents and lucky breaks on his part than anything else. No way some other kid will be able to take down a criminal organization like Team Rocket."

"*Gives you a deadpan but amused look* Yeah, sure they're not. And they never get us head over heels into crazy shit or trouble. Oh wait, yes they do, you've said so yourself. *Shakes his head, amused* If we (the family) didn't love you or mind all the shenanigans life brings us, we'd probably revolted against you by now. "

Gaspar didn't look all too pleased about delaying things abut his life changing transformation, but he sighs and nods, conceding to your course of action for tomorrow. "Fine. I'll let you handle the finances with Baltazar, since you two are the bread earners of the family. If I was you, though, I'd battle some Trainers on the beach for cash, while also searching the sands for any treasure that washed up, like we used to do when we were younger. We'll have to get up pretty early if we don't want the beach to be mostly picked clean by other treasure hunters, but it'll be worth it if we get a good enough haul. *Shrugs* Failing that, we can spend the whole day at the beach thrashing upstarts for their pocket change, or stick to challenging Trainers that are tough enough to handle what we dish out for greater profit, but greater risks too. Doing all that, we should be able to give Airmid and the rest of the family a nice day at the beach and make ourselves a tidy enough profit to fund our future plans, so it sounds like an A-strat to me. How about it, brother?"

Your metamorphic brother gets an odd look as you bring up what Solgaleo means to a Lunala, looking confused, uncertain, and....receptive to the idea? "...Solgaleos and Lunalas are supposed to be partners. Two halves of a great whole. Day and night. Moondark and sunlight. They're supposed to be together....*Shakes head* ....but they can be apart if they need to. *Sighs* ....You don't have to worry about me seeking out a Lunala, brother. Right now, I have way too much on my plate to entertain a relationship with anyone, let alone a Legendary Pokemon. "

Talk about Necrozma and Giratina sends a small shiver down his spine - and yours too
.....My Friend's Disciple Speaks Of Me? Or Do They Speak About Me.....? Lucifer....One Of My Names. ....But Not One I Hold Alone. Shared, It Is, Among Legends And Myths. Those That Have Strayed From Their Paths, Their Purposes....Or Have Rebelled Against Them, And Fell. And The TPK.....Such A Terrible Weapon. A Terrible, Wonderful Weapon. The Key To My Fall....The Key To My Awakening....The Key To My Salvation, My Genesis. ....But Not A Key For The Former Lightstar....The Current Morningstar. Better And Worse, Was Their And Her Fate.... Then, Now, And Perhaps Forever.....
You......hear......something, briefly. At the very edges of your hearing and awareness, yet so very close too. And judging by the stricken look and dead silence coming from Gaspar, they heard it too.

Oh my.....how interesting. Very, extremely interesting....

Several minutes passed after you sent your message to the former mad scientist, but eventually you got a concise response back from her.

'Well. Am I right to assume you're the young man I gave my number to on the beach today?'
