@satoshii_ was added to a new groupchat ~ #ChampionTime

@satoshii_ changed his nickname to “Ash”

Ash

Hello new chat?
Lance

I don’t think my eyes are working who added you
Ash

Good question
Diantha

We get the Alolan news in Kalos, sometimes. I think Unova does too, but Alder is too old to bother watch it. Paldea maybe, too. Or Galar.
Ash

Oh yeah
Lance

Alolan? Do they even have a league? I thought they weren’t a league. If you are Alolan champion, we have to celebrate.
Geeta

Hola, apologies for my tardiness to the conversation, nice to meet you :)
Ash

It’s no problem! Also, to answer your questions Lance, yes alola champion, no league yet,
Lance

That… makes sense now. Can everyone

please

get online now?
Ash

Wdym
Wallace

Cynthia you owe me money, you too Lance. You called me crazy but noooo I was right.
I said Ash’s first league reign (properly) of championship would be a new region but all of you were convinced he’d overtake Alder.
Lance

Admittedly, I didn’t know he was taking a break year that year.
Cynthia

I have no excuse
Ash

Why were you betting on that actually on second though i dont wanna know anyway. Whoo saw the battle
Diantha

Hello
Leon

hEYLO
Geeta

I watched it out of curiosity. That isn’t common for Alolan post-league exhibition matches, right?
Diantha

I would rather hope not. Leon, what did you think?
Leon

My charizard wants to fight pikachu
Ash

You have a Charizard?? Same!!!
Leon

Wait why didn’t you use it? (Not saying Incineroar was a bad choice)
Ash

I like to switch it up every region. :D
Leon

What
Lance

You pretty much have to get used to the “Ash” way of thinking, Leon. Which means getting use to the idea he will drop every Pokemon the second he crosses an international border. And that he will occasionally have rather terrifying things on his team.
Leon

Like naganadel?

Lance

What is a a naganadel
Ash

An Ultra Beast. It had to go back home, but, it helped out when some other ultra beasts attacked. (Yes, Aether is looking for solutions, I lended them out Sceptile to help with the task alongside Noctowl, because they needed some good Pokemon as well.) Current research points to poison and dragon typing.
Lance

Ultra Beast? Alola scares me
Diantha

I agree
Ash

Think of them like Deoxys! Just visitors. They all have worlds, like the ultra deep sea (kinda looked like the Reverse World, if you’ve ever been / seen the photos), but, often being so far from home makes them aggressive. The most dangerous / malicious ones are Nihilego, but, we’re pretty sure not every one acts like the one that I encountered. They come through ultra wormholes
Wallace

there are many sentences i wanted to read. That collection was not one of them
Lance

Right. Are Ultra Wormholes a problem to look out for?
Ash

We don’t know but i plan on trying to figure that out while champion.
Leon

Tf you mean if youve been in the reverse world
Ash

I’m interesting
Diantha

I genuinely just made the ugliest snort reading that and I’m pretty sure the actors on set are now concerned
Cynthia

You got ash lite diantha dont say anything. I got Ash (x100)

Diantha

Wait yeah how many notes did you get from him
Cynthia

I had to watch the lily of the valley conference LIVE that should tell you everything ok?
Ash

Oh i forgot i beat a darkrai and latios then
Makes pikachu vs tapu koko seem less impressive D:

Leon

Are my eyes on
Ash

I think so !!!
I mean the charizard i talked about earlier beat an articuno idk why you sayin that like its not been a thing that sometimes happen

Leon

HUHHHHHHHHHHH what
Ash

Pikachu once bodied a regice
Leon

Cynthia take him back please
Cynthia

Alder, 20XX.
Ash

HE FELL ASLEEP MID BATTLE ARGHHHHHH
Cynthia

Top ten ways to offend Ash ketchum apparently
Leon

Whats top one????
Ash

Attempt to destroy the world for hypocritical reasons sucks pretty hard imo
Leon

Why did I ask
Lance

I’m not even sure who you mean thats

concerning

Leon

HOW MANY
Ash

Good question I don’t know the answer to!
Leon

Im scared
Geeta

Admittedly, I don’t exactly know how to respond to this information.
Ash

wow i need to sleep
Lance

What time is it?
Ash

… late?
Cynthia

Why are you even awake “late” anyway. I thought you valued your beauty sleep??
Ash

Well, I was going to train my Pokemon but then I ran into Nebby so I’ve just been hanging out with Nebby while I can because Nebby is pretty busy living life normally
Cynthia

What is nebby
Ash

Oh he’s the Solgaleo I raised
Leon

Go to sleep I don’t have the brainpower for another of these texts from you
Wallace

Welcome to our world!

Gary

ChosenOne

(Ash)

Rowlet, Naganadel, Melemetal, Incineroar, Lycanroc. And Pikachu. I don’t know either.
ChosenOne

(Ash)

Great, right :D
Gary

So let me get this straight. You become Champion, and you didn’t use Sceptile, Charizard, Heracross, Snorlax, or any of those Pokemon.
Even that Muk gives me nightmares.

ChosenOne

(Ash)

Oh yeah (._.’)
Alain

You have a Charizard???
ChosenOne

(Ash)

Yup it once defeated Articuno
Gary

Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ChosenOne

(Ash)

Gary

ChosenOne

(Ash)

Idk pikachu just exists haha

Alain

Gary

Ash please stop talking to gods, my blood pressure can’t take it.

ChosenOne

(Ash)

Because I need to know what he’s up to.

Alain

Makes more sense now. Now who else is in this chat?
Gary

Who knows. Ping roulette anybody?
Alain

What’s that?
Gary

We ping somebody, with a guess of who they are based on their username, and then wait for them to respond. They ping another person.
Alain

Fun, I think. First one. @dragonqueen. Uh, Clair?
@dragonqueen

Nope! I like the compliment! Iris :)

Iris
Huh alright then 
Cilan
What a tasteful ending. 
Nemona
Guys its 10pm everyone is asleep what should I do to mess with my travelling friends 
Iris

Nemona
…Evil.Yes. what language though @zyagrdemom99 (Bonnie) Kalosian 
Nemona
I think one of my friends knows a little bit of that actually. 
@naturalistic 
hi  
Iris
who are you? 
@naturalistic 
I’m somebody you’ve met I believe I think 
Iris
Oh? 
Nemona
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? 
Alain
Hello? 
@naturalistic  
Ash isn’t available is he 
Iris
Wdym 
@naturalistic
He normally knows what to say when I’m sad 
Iris
Boy I met but don’t remember what 
@naturalistic 
Fatheral issues 
Nemona
Wow like my friend! His father replaced himself with AI. 
@naturalistic 
What 
Nemona
I’m guessing different fatheral issues but here’s the @ if you want to talk when he wakes up: @mabostiffisbest  
@naturalistic
I see 
Iris
But man who are you? 
Alain
Yes 
Iris
Weren’t you supposed to go to sleep? 
Alain
I couldn’t 
@naturalistic
just somebodycan’t i not be anonymous here? 
Alain
Ash knows a ton of peopleSo I guess so? 
Nemona
Ash gets more mysterious the more you know about him 
Iris
Heavy agree. I start to think I don’t know a single thing about him :(  
Alain
Really? 
@naturalistic
nobody knows ash like pikachu does 
Alain
Everyone knows that its the same for every starter Pokemon. 
@naturalistic
but even pikachu doesn’t know ash like ash does 
Alain
Huh? 
Nemona
I mean don’t we all have secrets? 
@naturalistic
Ash has more than most 
Iris
Its odd though I swore he couldn’t keep a secret for the life of him. Like he would just spill whatever whenever 
Cilan
Even a connoisseur like myself was fooled! 
Nemona
You can’t just look at somebody and know what they are like 
Alain
Obviously ChosenOne (Ash) Back 
Nemona
Heyllo! What was up anyway? ChosenOne (Ash) StuffI can’t say it  
Iris
Ohhh okWhy though ChosenOne (Ash) …. Law???? 
Alain
Oh alright

@naturalistic
Kk 
Nemona
Can I invite my friends Ash :)  ChosenOne (Ash) Huh? Sure feel free to add whoever I need to go bye bye 
Alain
Ash being busy doesn’t feel right. 
Iris
He is a champion though isn’t it expected? Is there a champion we could ask knowing ash theres probably one in the groupchat 
Alain
They are probably asleep 
@themotherarchaelogist 
I’m awake, just woke up to check some ruins out. (Well, catch a flight, but same same)I don’t think this level of “busy” is usual, but it can come up and we can really be swamped. Especially in transition / postcrisis situations 
Kiawe
Sorry im back anyway yeah the post league stuff was crazy 
@themotherarchaelogist 
That’s probably the major contributor, then! Depending on how bad, it’s very likely he’s going to busy busy for a while. 
Alain
oh 
@themotherarchaelogist 
Yeah, it sucks. 
Kiawe
I can’t help though :(  
Lana
Boy none of us can help he’s barely in his office with all those stupid meetings 
@themotherarchaelogist 
He isn’t doing zoom meetings? 
Lana
No he has to meet with the possibly elite four candidates 
@themotherarchaelogist 
Oh shoot that complicates stuff further 
Lana
It does? 
@themotherarchaelogist 
It normally takes a year for an elite four to finish trainingBut he has to have one ASAP for the full league statusSo he has to basically be in 50 different places at once 
Lana
o_o 
@themotherarchaelogist 
Not only that, but judging by prior messages I think there is other stuff going on at the same time parallel to those two things. Good thing I’m flying to Alola myself this morn.I want to see the Altar of the Sunne, actually.Such a well preserved temple ought to be fun. 
Kiawe
Theres a totem Kommo-o, be careful. 
@themotherarchaelogist 
Eh it should be fine. I am a Champion, we are powerful trainers full stop. 
Nemona
People need to stop underestimating Champion Rank trainers. Rrlrlrlrlrlr 
Kiawe
Rank? 
Nemona
Sometimes people aren’t official champions or are of semi-official leagues so theres a little ranking system for it all! Trainer -> Ace -> Gym -> Elite -> Champion. Most of the time, champion ranks can decimate much of everything with ease  
Kiawe
Woah. How do you know your rank? 
Nemona
It’s usually determined on online forums after a few competitive battles. If you’ve battled competitively, and either request / are known enough to get ranked / get ranked by other powerful trainers, it’s put on a special thread organised by a special group 
@themotherarchaelogist 
Lovely people to work with. I have worked with them! 
Nemona
Yup! One of my friends helps out with their servers. They do amazing database work. 
Kiawe
Huh?? 
Nemona
They compile achievements and such too. And Pokemon information, although some break their rankings so much they just get tossed into a special beyond ranking. 
Kiawe
That’s incredible!!!!!!  
Nemona
They are super picky for elite and champion ranks though. You need tons of battling videos, experience with other stuff, like, they take it so seriously.  
@themotherarchaelogist 
What were they arguing over recently? 
Nemona
They were wondering if they needed a different tier for frontier brains etc. 
@themotherarchaelogist 
Ohhh 
Nemona 
They decided to do “Master” tier as a replacement. It eases the gym tier up too as more people can go to champion 
@themotherarchaelogist 
That makes sense.  
Nemona
The master tier is so barren right now because of the requirements 
@themotherarchaelogist 
Oh? 
Kiawe
What kind of requirements? 
Nemona
1- must have fairly defeated a legendary , 2- must have a powerful bond with their pokemon that is obvious, 3- must be an acclaimed trainer.  
Kiawe
Wow. 
@themotherarchaelogist 
I’m in it, right?  
Nemona
You are yes Cynthia. I am too >:D  
Kiawe
Oh holy  
Nemona
Ash is in it, lance is, steven is, anabel is (Although there is a dispute on that one for a reason I don’t know) , palmer, noland, tucker, a lot of frontier brains. I think they are currently considering / not considering the subway bosses. @themotherarchaelogist (Cynthia) The subway bosses 100% deserve that. They are insane.  
Nemona
I don’t know them. ChosenOne (Ash) Thanks for reminding me the anabel thing im going to look into that now i can @themotherarchaelogist (Cynthia) WAIT I DIDN’T SAY DO MORE WORKGO TAKE A BREAK NOW ChosenOne (Ash) I’m flying!! Thats a break!!!! @themotherarchaelogist (Cynthia) NO IT IS NOT!!  ChosenOne (Ash) IM GOING BACK TO MELEMELE GIVE ME A BREAK @themotherarchaelogist (Cynthia) i’M CONCERNED AT HOW FAST YOU GOT FROM THOSE TWO PLACES ChosenOne (Ash) Tricks of the trade. 
Nemona
I need slepe bye 
Kiawe
Ok!Anyway Ash do u know about the rankings?? ChosenOne (Ash) Idk i checked them and I was marked as a champion after orange.  
Kiawe
That- @themotherarchaelogist (Cynthia) I think was Lance was arguing your case before then actually, claiming your indigo league battle was an inaccurate show of your capabilities ChosenOne (Ash) Idrc @themotherarchaelogist (Cynthia) You should!People are adopting that system more and more ChosenOne (Ash) I don’t want to be famous I just want to battle 
Kiawe
Legit ChosenOne (Ash) I can’t go anywhere in alola without being recognisedAnd then i still get recognised in other regions :(  @themotherarchaelogist (Cynthia) YOUR FAMOUS  ChosenOne (Ash) I DONT WANNA BE 
Kiawe
Huh @umbreonboy (Gladion) Fair enough i guess ChosenOne  (Ash) Gladion can you go into Aether with a drive and grab the files on anything ultra beast im sort of sick of dealing w lusamine @umbreonboy (Gladion) what do you need it for ChosenOne (Ash) Gladion @umbreonboy (Gladion) Ok ill get it @themotherarchaelogist (Cynthia) ? ChosenOne (Ash) Anyway Cynthia I’m going to take a short break on this island sooooo cya :)  @themotherarchaelogist (Cynthia) I’m keeping an eye on you. -

#Kanto-Johto League
 
Surge
Challenger said somethin interesting today. 
Misty
Oh? 
Surge
That Alolan boy. With the spunky floaty Raichu and the funky owl. 
Misty
Hau. He was great to battle. He’s already competed at a high level before, right? 
Surge
Yup. Was tellin him about Ash and his challenge and he seemed to clock the nameWas like “oh, yeah, i lost to him before” 
Misty
Huh . Ash is in alolaI wonder if there are any clips of him battling there 
Brock
Probably. 
Misty
OH MY FUCKING ARCEUS 
Surge
?

Misty
www.mewtub e.com/isthealolanchampionagoodrepresentationofalola?/839THAT’S ASH IM NOT TRIPPING RIGHT 
Surge
@dragonmaster ? 
Lance
He is the champion of Alola. What was the video saying 
Misty
They were saying yes since he participated in the island trials or whatever it was calledAnd used z-moves prominently in his battling strategiesAnd won against some legend there 
Lance
Right. 
Misty
Video says all his league battles were insane 
Surge
Compared to his Kalos run? 
Misty
Video is talking about that now. The person is now yapping about rankings and stuff. 
Lance
What about them? 
Misty
there is more information about ash online than i initially expected 
Brock
Obviously. He has superfans just like any other champion. 
Misty
No but its stuff I’ve never heard about 
Brock
Yes, superfans. 
Lance
I get the fanmail sometimes. Some people need to go away.  
Misty
It’s that bad??? How 
Lance
Mostly people from contest backgrounds are the worst. Because he attends them so often people THINK he’s secretly amazing at contests 
Brock
Tbh i wouldn’t be surprised but YEAH I get what you mean.  
Whitney
Who are we yapping about >^< 
Lance
Ash 
Whitney
OooooooooooohYesI am aware of him 
Morty
We have our own Alola native doing the gym challenge here now. He said he’d challenge me tomorrow. 
Whitney
Z moves are so powerful :0 I went and watched the league battle. 
Erika
How did it even go? 
Whitney
The finals were cool. Between this Gladion kid and Ash. 
Lance
Gladion?Rings bells. 
Whitney
Son of Lusamine 
Lance
That’s it. 
Lorelei
I attended the Manalo Conference. Probably should have mentioned this earlier. 
Lance
WAIT REALLY 
Misty
How was it!!! Give us the in person cool moments 
Lorelei
Well there was a powerful bug type specialist there. And Gladion. Standout trainers. The bug type guy seemed to play very unfairly.  
Misty
EUHGUGHGHUHG  
Bugsy 
What was his ace? 
Lorelei
Golisopod. There were a lot of Z Moves, and powerful trainers who got knocked out. Ash breezed the entire tournament, tbh. 
Misty
No wonder they were happy to make him champion 
Lorelei
Might have been something to do with the Ultra Beasts as well. 
Misty 
Huh? 
Lorelei
There wasn’t media coverage done, evacuation had been organised and quickly dealt with professionally. I myself hung around but I didn’t know how to handle them. I don’t know what they were but they were big. Very big.  
Misty
Wow 
Lorelei
But it was all good.  
Lance
That’s fine then. 
Misty
I was doing some research on the conferenceAnd APPARENTLY there was a good bit at stake with Guzma’s final battle.He’s also the leader of a prominent gang? I don’t know how that’s ended 
Lorelei
They aren’t that threatening. Mostly cheerleading 
Misty
Oh i was worried 
Lance
It’s still trouble, though. 
Misty
True 
Surge
Anyway, any more information on the Hau guy? 
Misty
His decidueye lost to a rowlet 
Lorelei
There are t-shirts of the rowlet because of that, now. 
Whitney
Its such a cute Pokemon >^<

Lorelei
You could say that…?

Morning o/
 
Kiawe

Morning
 
Nemona

Hello :D 
 
Iris

Afternoon
 
Nemona

Timezones mess with my brain wow. Anyway tickets to Alola are surprisingly pricy but I have them booked for the 6th.

I’m on my way :D
 
Iris

Enjoy!!! I’m hanging out with my Zweilous, he’s sooo close to evolving :D

I’m putting together my team to challenge the Unovan Champion (a fossil)
 
ChosenOne

(Ash)

Nice! I’m putting together an elite four on a crunch

So I had to get up early to fly out to Ula Ula because theres a candidate there I need to give the guidelines since she’s a really strong candidate. Most of them are from Ula Ula..

yeesh im too dumb for this but im trying my best!

My Noctowl is helping a ton
 
Nemona

As somebody who is a big representative for my school, I totally understand the stresss. Us battlers just want to battle, not do

admin stuff.

Yuck..
 
ChosenOne

(Ash)

YES! Well, anyway. Now I’m playing the game of how do I structure this @_@ ;

I don’t want the kahunas in the elite four since they are more of spiritual leaders

They also will be running the way

I want

Challenge gym thing
 
Nemona

No gyms??

How do people even enter the conference
 
ChosenOne

(Ash)

Grand trials

I have it in my head ok
 
Kiawe

I trust you?
 
ChosenOne

(Ash)

OH Kiawe do me a favour after milk deliveries

Fly down to ten carat hill and grab golf girl I need to talk to her

Pls
 
Kiawe

No problem Ash
 
Lana

It’s so strange seeing you so busy Ash you do literally nothing normally (not in a bad way haha)
 
ChosenOne

(Ash)

Haha (._.;)

I need to do smthn lol
 
#ChampionTime
 
Ash

WHO IS HERE 
 
Leon

Whats up mate
 
Diantha

Greetings
 
Geeta

Hola 
 
Ash

Ok what teams do your elite four use
 
Leon

Don’t have one , but gym leaders keep in the tournament for champion challenges
 
Diantha

Water/Fire/Steel/Dragon
 
Geeta

Ground/Steel/Flying/Dragon
 
Ash

Ok leon is there a ghost leader
 
Leon

Yes
 
Ash

Riiight ok you guys know then so the elite four im like sortin out is steel, flying, ghost, dragon; I need to know if their teams are quality enough
 
Diantha

Sure
 
Geeta

We can check this.
 
Ash

Thank youuu :D

Um steel guy is : klefki (for support stuff), bisharp (with different type moves n stuff), magnezone, metagross, Dugtrio (With Z Move, Corkscrew Crash, super cool move!) 
 
Diantha

Strong lineup with unique Pokemon. Dugtrio in a steel type team?
 
Ash

Alolan form
 
Geeta

Sounds good. Unique ace, like Poppy’s. Helps catch challengers off guard, especially with a good opener from Klefki. A strong support helps a good finish.
 
Ash

Thanks!

Flying uses Skarmory, Hawlucha, Oricorio, Mandibuzz, Toucannon. Mandibuzz has stall - y moves, but not much from there. Is still good?? 
 
Geeta

Larry’s team matches against that in strength comparison. I think its good. 
 
Ash

Ok the ghost person! Banette, Drifblim, Dhelmise, Froslass, Palossand. Sometimes swaps Banette for a gengar but its not quite ready for elite battles. 
 
Leon

Cool team. Allister has a super strong gmax gengar so Im guessing it should be good. I don’t really know half of those Pokemon mate but they sound good.
 
Ash

Cool! I’ll tell her to remember to use the hail tm i bought for her frosslass
 
Diantha

Snow Cloak?
 
Ash

I battled Candice I know how evil that is
 
Diantha

I see haha.
 
Ash

Final member has Garchomp, Dragonite, Drampa, Kommo-o and Turtonator
 
Diantha

THATS A LOT OF PSEUDOS
 
Ash

And i still swept him with charizard (._.’) 
 
Diantha

Ooh dear anyway very strong team. Does he have coverage for ice and fairy? 
 
Ash

Yes
 
Diantha

That should be good. Is the elite four more younger or older people?
 
Ash

Young people actually. Molayne is the oldest (steel)
 
Diantha

Mmmm ok
 
Geeta

Poppy is going on holiday to Alola with Nemona soon, maybe she could give pointers. I could also ask Rika and Larry to hop on a call to you guys and help explain the code of conduct and such.
 
Ash

WOAH that would be SUPER appreciated geeta :D
 
Diantha

I’m sure Malva would also be happy to help.
 
Ash

Thanks! Isn’t it a bit late for you?
 
Geeta

It’s only eight. Don’t worry about it. Rika and Larry are happy to do that.
 
Ash

Alright! I’ll set everything up my end then send the chat link
 
Geeta

Of course.
 
Ash

Shooooot i need to be somewhere else right now so I’m gonna fly off quickly but they know to open the link ill text them it dw
 
Geeta

Sure:

zoom.com/meeting93938sasdlQrMr

Ash

Ok sent sorted now I need to run!!!!
 
Diantha

See you o/ !
 
Geeta

He seems awfully busy.
 
Diantha

Just on time crunch right now, I believe. Doesn’t help he doesn’t have a league to pick up, he’s making it. Even with Professor Kukui doing the legal, he has many many responsibilities.
 
Geeta

Yeah, I suppose. 
 
Leon

mate i dont do shit compared to ash 
 
Diantha

None of us do, Leon..

Nothings happened!!!! Its been literally a day!! Nothing happens in a day!! 
 
C.Rose

Milo

Ugh
 
Nessa

King we don’t do anything interesting off season

Because you are the lawyer man

The guy

With

The job
 
Raihan

Speak for yourself Nessa 
 
Nessa

Wow ok mr. social media.
 
Raihan

Sigh
 
Leon

Idk the most interesting thing in my life is the alolan champion
 
Raihan

Huh?
 
Leon

He’s cool

busy

But cool!
 
C.Rose

I don’t like him. He likes to get his nose in business. Aether has already reported multiple occasions where he has does very thorough examinations of their work. Just wait until he tries to do the same elsewhere. One Lance is enough.
 
Leon

Damn at the same time as doing other champion stuff? This kid is insane i swear
 
C.Rose

What
 
Raihan

If it isn’t needing to be in the gc please take it to dms guys. I’m busy in Kalos.
 
Leon

Ooh yeah you are visiting those wetlands to train with that goodra right
 
Raihan

Hopefully
 
C.Rose

Why?
 
Raihan

Because its used to protecting people. My job, title, is to protect people.
 
C.Rose

But thats the police’s job.
 
Raihan

????????????????????????

We are literally part of your law enforcement you idiot
 
C.Rose

You run a sandstorm team
 
Raihan

I can still learn from the goodra?
 
C.Rose

I just don’t understand why this was a necessary expense.
 
Raihan

I PAID FOR IT 
 
C.Rose

With the paycheck I gave you
 
Raihan

You are braindead
 
Leon

Woah ok what if I ask the other champions?

For their opinion
 
Raihan

Yes
 
C.Rose

Sure.
 
Leon

I’ll ask them “Is a gym leader going on a trip to learn from a Pokemon in Kalos a waste of time?”
 
Raihan

Fine.
 
C.Rose

Go ahead.
 
Nessa

why do we let this happen 
 
Milo

Idk
 
#ChampionTime

Leon

Is a gym leader going on a trip to learn from a Pokemon in Kalos a waste of time
 
Diantha

No??? What mon
 
Leon

A goodra
 
Diantha

Extra nope
 
Ash

Wait where does the goodra live
 
Leon

Some wetlands apparently
 
Ash

Oh! Thats my goodra :D !!!
 
Leon

.
 
Diantha

IT IS?
 
Leon

……………………………..

What
 
Ash

Yeah! He helped me throughout my Kalos journey! I raised him as a little Goomy :D 
 
Leon

And…
 
Ash

He wanted to protect the wetlands so I let him. I’ve released a few of my Pokemon for similar reasons 
 
Leon

I-
 
#Galar League
 
Leon

Ok so raihan in the right

Sorry im still processing it
 
C.Rose

Processing what
 
Raihan

Yeah
 
Leon

Alolan champion casually mentions that goodra was his

starting to think the alolan champion exists everywhere 
 
Raihan

EH???
 
C.Rose

I
 
Milo

His rowlet is adorable though

I wonder if he has any other grass types :O !!
 
Leon

Yeesh probably
 
Allister

funny

ghosts like

funny
 
Leon

Oh?
 
Allister

kind of

me

relatable
 
Leon

I don’t understand what that is referring to

I don’t want to know
 
Nessa

Probably
 
Leon

heres where i find out hes dismantled a criminal organisation or smthn
 
C.Rose

I don’t think so.
 
Leon

Wait no he has

Im stupid
 
C.Rose

Is this guy actually human?
 
Allister

Aura

Users

Are

Debatable

But in interest

Yes
 
Leon

Nobody understood what that meant
 
Raihan

I guess I’m nobody. Remember, me and Sonia are big into old stuff

But uh allister they dont exist anymore. 
 
Allister

Incorrect

I

Can

It is a feeling

He has

It
 
Raihan

You know what?

I’m going to attempt to message that old dragon type fan chat

.. even if it gets argumentative (As usual)

The cousins.

Yeesh.

FlyingMaster

I just woke up sorry???

I should be going to bed but nope anyway hello Lance.
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Hello Raihan.

Yeah, that sounds like Ash.
 
DraconicQueen

MY ZWEILOUS EVOLVED

HYDREIGON IS MINE

MY TEAM IS SO SO CLOSE TO READY TO BEAT UP THE OLD COOT IN UNOVAS CHAMPION SPOT
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Congrats Iris!
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

Good luck. About time that cunt got kicked out.
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

We’ll be drilling until right before badge season
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Good time to challenge

What order are you taking them on?
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

Caitlin -> Shauntall -> Grimsley -> Marshall

We already have dates

grimsley was joking about going on an alola holiday after

So

Hopefully he’ll be distracted in the battle (jokes jokes)
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Hah

Unova Elite Four isn’t the most dangerous I’ve seen.
 
ROCKSTAR

(Ryuki)

If i have to get beaten up by a noctowl A FREAKING NOCTOWL anymore times im committing a crime against the league
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Noctowl?
 
ROCKSTAR

(Ryuki)

“training”

None of us can even scratch the team he’s planning on using for champion-level challenges

none

That pikachu scares me ok
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

It scares everyone. But team share?

ROCKSTAR

(Ryuki)

The team alola league challengers have to beat from him is as follows (Not making this up)

Pikachu, Charizard, Sceptile, Heracross, Garchomp (In rotation with other pokemon he has like Noivern or whatever.) and Nebby (A Solgaleo.)

League rules don’t say he can’t use a legend
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
ROCKSTAR

(Ryuki)

Ok i thought the noctowl was scary

I did not see the Swellow
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

OH
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

?
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Tate and Liza experienced the Swellow’s ability to shake off a thunderbolt
 
ROCKSTAR

(Ryuki)

Ok so Alola League is impossible!! 
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Really makes you wonder why he never bothered to take on the leagues and start from zero each time
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

Fun?
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

I guess but given 90% of the stuff the kid experienced
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

What
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

I shouldn’t say.
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

He attracts legends
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Yeah
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

That’s unusual? I don’t know how to reply to that.
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Fair enough.
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

But anyway. rose is driving my head into a wall

i wish leon would actually do smthn about it

he forgets hes roses superior 99% of the time
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Most of them do.
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

Off topic why is Leon still in champion rank?
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

They are debating putting subway bosses on the ranks right now.

Feel free to bring it up with them over on their accounts ig?
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

I just might.

FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Tell us how it goes
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

Alder has dropped below Grimsley in ranks , yikes

Really shows how not enough footage damages your ranks
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

Says he isn’t involved enough for Master 
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

Makes sense
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

Hasn’t defeated a legendary either

Ouch

How is that a fair thing to achieve?
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

Frontier Brains

Battle Towers

Anything like that

Even that new fangled battle tree up in alola
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

EVERYTHING HAPPENS IN BLOODY ALOLA
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

(ultra beasts)

Uhhhhhh yeah maybe
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Are you ok
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

no
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

I mean it’s mostly the Ash effect 
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

Thats disturbing
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

.

We know.
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

Man, that kid must be stressed
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

He’s oddly fine

I think
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

I’m doubtful.

Ash

Guys

Why
 
Lance

What?
 
Ash

Where did my time go

I had time

So mch

Tme

But now

Its like

Ash when are you going to that meetikng

Ash when will you stop bothering aether

Ash when are you free next

Ash this like IM NOT EVERYWHERE D:
 
Lance

Champions are constantly, and always, needed.

Unfortunately this is a downside of the position

It’ll relax up in a bit, I swear.
 
Ash

When I get Alola officially verified it should!

I’m still trying to think of the age of travel / legal stuff you know

I want it to be older than 10 (no offence Lance)
 
Lance

I should probably drop that tbh

It’s only that young because of traditionalists. What about you people?
 
Steven

Cynthia

12

:)

Alder

Geeta

16.
 
Ash

Hm well this complicates things in my head.

You can’t alienate the kids but you can’t get them in danger
 
Lance

Why it hasn’t changed in most of our regions, basically. But you can start it off on a good foot.
 
Ash

Yes true. since im now sixteen im thinking this:

14 for accompanied travel (eg. getting trials done through a school system / with an adult accompanying you / taking on your own island trials at your home island)

16 for unaccompanied travel.

18 + alcohol, driving (cars and stuff not tauros riding, thats at 14)

10 for solo ownership of Pokemon.
 
Lance

… that’s very very smart
 
Geeta

I believe that is a fair system. 
 
Ash

Ok time to convince the elite four

U_U 
 
Steven

Technically your decision on that is final, so don’t let people try convince you otherwise for profiting.
 
Ash

Are you making a snide insult against your (future) company???
 
Steven

Yes and they just have to deal with it.

I’m not lowering the age so they can sell more pokenavs!
 
Ash

Oh!
 
Geeta

That feels like an oversight.
 
Steven

Don’t worry Wallace keeps me in check. Usually.
 
Diantha

Haha

Anyway, how are you holding up Ash?
 
Ash

Good!

Wait I heard there was a feature

Uhhh

Gimme admin whoever is whatever

@themotherarchaelogist gave @satoshii_ admin permissions

@satoshii_ turned on worldclock

Ash [13:43]

Oooh this works

That’s nice!
 
Lance [08:44]

Useful for communicating. That’s very intuitive.
 
Steven [08:47]

Probably avoid it for your other gc though. I don’t think Alain needs that stress…
 
Ash [13:48]

That’s why you don’t threaten the depressed guy to go to bed.
 
Diantha [01:48]

I do not have context with for this.
 
Geeta [01:49]

Neither do I, but I don’t believe I want it.
 
Steven [08:50]

Go to bed?? Why are you two up so late??
 
Diantha [01:53]

I have this group on priority notifications, and wasn’t too tired. I don’t have a filming day tomorrow, I’ll be fine.
 
Geeta [01:53]

I was invited as a guest on Iono’s twenty-four hour stream.
 
Steven [08:55]

How is that girl still that energetic at two in the morning?
 
Diantha [02:03]

Something to watch! Yes!

I won’t get bored. 
 
Lance [09:06]

It’ll be great to have in the background of todays meetings. When does it end?
 
Geeta [02:07]

Nine AM.
 
Lance [09:08]

It’s perfect.
 
Ash [14:15]

I’ll watch it too! Iono is

so

awesome!

I love it. It feels fun!
 
Geeta [02:17]

¡No puedo creerlo!

(Autotranslate: I can’t believe it!)

Steven [09:39]

She spoke Paldean? Yeah, she’s

shocked.

Ash [14:41]

I have access to the Masked Royal’s Abrawatch page, so I may have given some subscriber things to Iono’s watchers..

I only spent 350,000 KPD!!!
 
Steven [09:43]

holy arceus
 
Lance [09:44]

HOW DO YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY CASUALLY??
 
Ash [14:45]

UH:

Renting Tauros out to islanders for transport / herd use / work

Renting Pokemon out for defensive purposes to help with their training

Saving + interest on winnings
 
Diantha [02:47]

I’m too Kalosian for that. Translate to GPD?
 
Lance [09:48]

350,000 KPD is 2,180.85 GPD
 
Diantha [02:49]

WOW
 
Geeta [02:51]

Iono is freaking out. Yo también estoy sorprendido.

(Autotranslate: I am shocked too.)

Lance [09:53]

No Paldea in chat, or me and Steven

will

have an entire conversation in Kantonese.
 
Geeta [02:54]

Pruébalo.

One, we are fun. Two, stop swearing.

このクソ野郎どもは面白くない (

You motherfuckers are no fun

), for our non-Kantonese speaking friends.
 
Diantha [03:08]

Ash swears?
 
Steven [10:09]

Only in Kantonese.

For some reason.
 
Ash [15:11]

Êtes-vous sûr de cet enfoiré ?

(Autotranslate: Are you sure about that f*****)

Autotranslate censors words? Never knew.
 
Diantha [03:12]

Tiens-toi bien.

(Autotranslate: Behave, you.)

I did laugh at that though.

Very

loudly.
 
Steven [10:14]

You all are a headache.
 
Ash [15:16]

It did stop you and @dragonmaster from yapping at eachother in Kantonese while Geeta and Diantha sat there awkwardly!
 
Geeta [03:17]

¡Muchas gracias!

Dawn

Wait why am I gym leader on the ranks?

I don’t battle?
 
@kiki_

I’m actually a moderator on that ranking system. Started helping out after I got better after a legendary incident. Anyway:

Contests telegraph their shows, makes it easy to slot them on the rankings (especially top coordinators).

I normally cover double battles (since I was once a Champion covering that area of battle, I am very experienced with it.)

Ash [02:34]

hi
 
Leon [13:35]

TWO? Go to sleep mate yeesh
 
Ash [02:36]

No it’s okay I’m busy with something.

I just needed some advice
 
Leon [13:38]

Shoot.
 
Ash [02:39]

How do I tell a girl I’m not interested in her whatsoever.

Like.

Not reality we would ever get together,

Ever.

But not being mean

I just don’t… like romance 
 
Leon [13:42]

That took a turn I was not ready for at one in the afternoon. @theactressabovethemall please help. @laprimera?? 
 
Diantha [14:46]

Leon? Oh

I see. Uh

Who? Depends on what kind of person they are.
 
Geeta [14:47]

I feel distinctly unhelpful in this scenario.
 
Ash [02:48]

serena if you remember her diantha

Im stupid i only realised she liked me while staring at the ceiling at one in the morning and i was like erm ok i need to do smthn

Soooooooo
 
Leon [13:49]

How long has she had the crush? It could just be a passing fantasy!
 
Ash [02:51]

Since Age 6? Maybe? i dont remember
 
Leon [13:53]

o h

Let me consult my fellow galarians 
 
Diantha [14:54]

I don’t need a lecture from the lovesick bug and rock dorks your on your own.
 
Geeta [14:55]

I will attempt to assist with whatever knowledge I can scrape from Rika. She is far more socially capable than me.

Perhaps Poppy might provide insight.
 
Leon [13:56]

Yeah ask the nine year old to help with a crush. dear arceus we are doomed 
 
Ash [02:57]

ew arceus

AHEM

Anyway

Leon please :> 
 
Leon [13:59]

Yeah yeah jeepers..

Leon

Help!
 
Raihan

Are you lost?
 
Leon

Why did you assume- no.

I need relationship advice to pass on to a friend.
 
Raihan

Huh.

That’s a distinctly un-Leon situation you have found yourself in.
 
Nessa

Wow….

Leon….

Making friends. Who would have guessed?
 
Milo

It’s a miracle!
 
Gordie

Nice one!
 
Kabu

Excellent.
 
Allister

it  i s alw a ys go od to o hear
 
Leon

Stop this. Please. Ok just give the advice you pricks.
 
Milo

pff fine
 
Leon

So: Person A ( The one I am helping ) is uninterested in romantic affairs. Person B has had a longterm crush on him since a very young age, and person A needs to know how to let person B down without being rude / mean / making them sad
 
Milo

Impossible
 
Nessa

Yeah there is no way of making that easy.
 
Leon

Dude come up with something ffs

This kid is already stressed as fucking is
 
Raihan

NAHH this isn’t ash again is it

Kids got more bloody things on his plate than a butcher
 
Leon

Welllllllllllllll uh maybe yeah
 
Raihan

Ok

Here’s the plan:

Tell him to come up with a message to send to her, then bam all done nice and easy!
 
Leon

Something tells me..
 
Raihan

Just. 
 
Leon

Alright it’s the best I have…
 
Yuck
 
C.Rose

#ChampionTime
 
Leon [14:02]

Come up with a message, and sent it to her - advice from Raihan.
 
Ash [03:04]

Ok give me a hot second to type
 
Diantha [15:05]

That’s terrible advice (But it’s all we got)
 
Ash [03:26]
 
Ok so I want to send this to her:

> Hi Serena, I recently figured out you had a pretty big crush on me and I don’t really know an easy way of saying this but I just don’t like you back. I don’t really go for romance and I dunno what that really feels like so you were just another great friend. I hope you find somebody good for you though.

Diantha [15:28]

It’s kind of giving my ex-girlfriends breakup message. But whatever.
 
Ash [03:29]

… what
 
Diantha [15:32]

We aren’t getting into this..
 
Ash [03:33]

Okay… anyway time to @ her in my chat and see if I can message her.

Hi ash ^v^

How are you? I’m well. It’s been ages since you messaged, I didn’t really know if I was allowed to message here since this chat was totally intimidating but now I am and it’s fine.

OK! Ash types his chat Serena’s @, and Serena responds after changing her nickname with:

Raihan new development he backed out. This was going to be his message:

Serena, I recently figured out you had a pretty big crush on me and I don’t really know an easy way of saying this but I just don’t like you back. I don’t really go for romance and I dunno what that really feels like so you were just another great friend. I hope you find somebody good for you though.

But then she sent this:

Stop spamming the channel with teen drama.
 
@thegreatestchampion muted @chairmanrose for 1 hour.
 
Raihan

Why does that message sound like the rejection message I got from my ex-boyfriend?
That girl is definitely crushing hard and is ignorant to the fact he isn’t interesting.
 
Leon

wtf why did both you and diantha have disastrous queer relationships did we take the red pill?
 
Raihan

Don’t ask.

Now.

Ash needs to do something. Maybe ask his friends what identities so he can say he’s aromantic (Which I am guessing is what is going on.) If not, get him to do this quiz, trust me, it’s good.

Yes. Also both you and him had bad queer relationships and I don’t like that ok whatever ash result?
 
Ash [04:13]

“Aromantic” “asexual”

Uh

Welp.
 
Leon [15:13]

Ok so Raihan said to just tell your group chat and be like “hiii coming out say your identities!”

yk
 
Ash [04:14]

Uhm ok…

But what if I’m wrong?

What if I lie?

What if the quiz was wrong?

Tell him that it went badly.

And tell him to

never give advice again.

Why did nobody ping the expert?

Why did you let that happen.

Geeta [17:18]

I was working.
 
Diantha [17:19]

I thought you were asleep.
 
Wallace [00:23]

Ugh.

Ok.

So.

If somebody is trying to let somebody down easy, you should have encouraged Ash to start a long fulfilling conversation with Serena! Or something alike. Not whatever Raihan’s disaster plan was that I joined in too late to stop properly or swerve course because of the other

weirdness

you had him do!

I tried to help it but

Ugh 
 
Diantha [17:24]

I think you’re getting a little worked up.
 
Wallace [00:27]

I facepalmed so loudly I woke up Steven.

Just take that in mind.
 
Leon [16:29]

I don’t want to think about the implications there but uh

Why was Raihan’s plan bad?
 
Wallace [00:30]

It was obvious Ash barely knew what he was talking about with made the situation seem disingenuous despite being his genuine emotions on the matter therefore damaging the point he was trying to create.

You should have just left it to a conversation. He doesn’t understand stuff like that (Not in an unintelligent way, it just doesn’t matter for him.) You need to get it in your heads that there is more to life that gay and not gay.

sorry this is a thing i see online a lot because of the spaces i inhibit

Also im helping steven w something so can that Leon.
 
Leon [16:34]

I get it.

Raihan and Diantha’s plan would have worked for like.. Them, but not for Ash!
 
Wallace [00:37]

Exactly.

Now.

Go have your dinner or w/e, you haven’t moved from wherever you’ve been sitting in hours judging by those response times.
 
Leon [16:38]

Wallace you are a terrifying man

But I don’t think its bad he is but I think the way I said it sounded like I do think it is and now Ash probably hates me forever
 
Dawn

He moves on quick
 
Wallace

>> But I don’t think its bad he is but I think the way I said it sounded like I do think it is and now Ash probably hates me forever

He doesn’t hate you; but not because he’s moving on quickly, simply because he was anticipating a negative reception to what you were saying. Think about how he was trying to let you down. He even had a message, funny enough. (We were discussing this in a chat for the Champions.)
 
Dawn

WALALCE UYOU ARE NEVER ONLINE HERE

HELLO???

I FORGOT YOU MADE THIS CHAT

HELLO

Can I send Serena the original intended message to be sent?

She’s asking for it in a coordinator exclusive chat.

I can send screenshots of the response?
 
@satoshii_

Um, sure, if it makes her feel better.

I’m just worried :(

Does she hate me?

Is she mad?

Did I fuck up?

Is it ok?

You don’t need to fix it ok i’ll come up with somethnig..
 
@fabulousaquamarine

It’ll be alright.

I have an idea, and I’ll make it all much better.

Steven’s acting as a nice second opinion.

But I know what I’m doing, don’t worry Ash.

She’s worried about the same things, you know.

You two clearly have a good friendship.

But can’t you just move on?

“Ok we aren’t gonna be an item ok”

That’s just not how that works. It’s not easy to move on from something like that, even if the reasons I know are

vastly

different to Serena’s situation.
 
Serena

Then how do I
 
Wallace

Focus on something unrelated

That’s just you

Nothing to with somebody else, just a thing you loved because it was your thing

(performances, contests, even just music, something like that)

I probably should apologise first though

I’ll go make sure he sleeps if you need.

Why would he even be so lack of sleep - y?

Nobody would be awake at night what would he be working on?

That sounds suspicious to me

Why isn’t he getting them himself?

Sensitive files or something. But I said the same thing.

Um

I’ll update you
 
Lance [12:36]

Cool, no problem.

Just

Worried 
 
Leon [05:37]

Yep! I’m gonna go feed Charizard
 
Lance [12:39]

Have you ever tried giving your charizard slightly burnt / charred fat from whatever raw meats your giving it?

They love it
 
Leon [05:43]

Seriously? I’ll try it. Thanks
 
Lance [12:44]

No prob. Do you have a dragon type?
 
Leon [05:47]

Dragapult
 
Lance [12:49]

Make Chaizard have Dragapult’s food and like run off, chasing / fighting for food is part of most dragon-types natural behaviour and can encourage healthy habits.
 
Leon [05:52]

That’s super helpful man, I’ll try it.
 
Lance [12:54]

No problem. I love helping out where I can.
 
Cynthia [17:55]

Yeah. Lance’s tips for Garchomp have really helped her become very healthy. Super important for top trainers sigh

FlyingMaster

(Lance)

You should buy a cape. Capes are great.

Very fashionable.
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

They absolutely are not.
 
FlyingMaster

Every cool person in history had a cape. Every.

Capes make the paperwork go fast.

They do get it on the floor, though.

FlyingMaster

Dragons have sweet tooths too!
 
DraconicQueen

This is a proven scientific fact.

They also generally love spicy things. But it’s always like, deadly to humanity spicy.

FlyingMaster

Oh

DraconicQueen

FlyingMaster

(Lance)

You think that’s spicy????

Nobody take this girl to Kanto. Oh god.
 
ChosenOne

(Ash)

Those are spicy. You just don’t have taste buds, I think.
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Yes I do.
 
ChosenOne

For you, its either bitter or nothing, because the only time I’ve ever seen you genuinely spit something out of your mouth was when-

On a more serious note, Steven, I wanted to query you on something, can I just send it here while I have you?
 
Steven

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

#Sinnoh League
 
Lucian

So, Cynthia, one must wonder, how does your adventures in Alola go?
 
Cynthia

this valley sucks SO HARD
 
Lucian

?
 
Cynthia

Let me give you some perspective. It is BLISTERINGLY hot, there are very high-levelled Pokemon all around me, terrifying Steel types that keep Glaceon from effectively keeping me cool, I’m exhausted, I feel like I’m always out of water, and at night, I get bullied into staying closer to the town, because they claim if I stay out I’ll hallucinate DEAD PEOPLE.
 
Lucian

Hallucinate dead people.

Cynthia, I know you are one to indulge in the mythology of an area, but are you sacrificing science in favour for following tradition?
 
Cynthia

Ash texted me

“

just warning you, if somebody on poni says stay in, you stay in. spirit realm is active.”

And Spiritomb had a hissy fit.
 
Lucian

I-

That’s mildly concerning.
 
Cynthia

Only high-level trainers are let into the Vast Poni Canyon. And the ruins themselves are incredibly interesting. 
 
Lucian

In what manner?
 
Cynthia

I mean, on a construction level, it is absolutely fascinating how the people of old were able to construct temples of this magnificence under the conditions set out for them. The temple itself reacts to the sun and moon, and parts of it appear to glow under certain conditions. The inscriptions detail ancient stories (which turned out to be true).
 
Lucian

Right.
 
Cynthia

There are ancient traps here too, implying that the people of old realised the significance of this place. It’s guarded by a Totem Pokemon (who are like spiritual leaders of the area).
 
Lucian

You do need to send me photographs. I could use this as inspiration.
 
Cynthia

Flash photography could disrupt the Pokemon here, says Ash. The photos won’t be great.
 
Lucian

He really jumped onto protecting Alola’s spaces, didn’t he?

Does he not realise eventually he won’t be Champion anymore?

The first Champions of a region usually get succeeded quickly.
 
Bertha

Admittedly, there has been a pattern of the Champions going quickly in certain places, Lucian.

Let’s also not forget this is a

Kanto

kid. Those guys cling onto those titles.
 
Cynthia

Yeesh. That’s true. And have you

heard

the horror stories off of some of the Alola Elite? They don’t think it’s going anywhere.
 
Lucian

I haven’t been keeping up.
 
Aaron

Why are there no gym leaders online. Ever.
 
Cynthia

Because, Aaron, Volkner is alway busy tinkering (until Flint bullies him), Candice barely has service, Crasher Wake is always training for some weirdo reason, Fantina doesn’t want to admit she’s actually available to do her job, Maylene… is occasionally online. Gardenia lives in the soil. 
 
Aaron

true 
 
Roark

I’m online..
 
Cynthia

Are you in a cave?
 
Roark

No. I broke my finger.
 
Cynthia

Seriously?
 
Roark

I broke my finger. 
 
Cynthia

Where are you going with this.
 
Roark

I was going to ask Aaron to help me.

Mine
 
Aaron

ABSOLUTELY NOT! You aren’t catching me fifty FEET near a cave.
 
Cynthia

Roark, ask your dad.
 
Roark

He’s not even in this groupchat! 
 
Cynthia

wait when did byron leave

what 
 
Roark

We had an argument over Thanksgiving.
 
Cynthia

THAT’S A UNOVAN CELEBRATION?
 
Roark

Yes and he wouldn’t help cook.
 
Cynthia

why in the name of why did you EVER think two gym leaders in the same family would be a good choice person who was champion before me.

why.
 
Aaron

Are you feeling okay, Cynthia?
 
Cynthia

SHIT.
 
Aaron

What’s wrong

Is this joking or
 
Cynthia

IT’S MIDNIGHT

HERE
 
Aaron

and..
 
Cynthia

IT’S FOGGY
 
Aaron

Queen I don’t know the first thing about Alola.
 
Fantina

What our darling Cynthia means to say, is that she has a problem,
 
Aaron

OH GOD

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE
 
Cynthia

I’M GOING TO STAY ONLIEN!

Ok. My ser

i have two bars

Um
 
Aaron

Cynthia?

Cynthiaaaa?
 
Lucian

Are you there?
 
Bertha

Patience.
 
Roark

Is she dead

Why are we panicking
 
Aaron

CYNTHIA WAS WORRIED

CYNTHIA DOESN’T GET WORRIED
 
Roark

That’s a lie.
 
Aaron

Ok, fine. Last summer she had a breakdown over her ice-cream store saying it might close.
 
Roark

I get your point though.
 
Gardenia

Gardenia

Aaron

Aaron

SHE SAID THE FOG WAS ROLLING IN AND THEN STOPPED REPLYING

GARDENIA

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME??

Gardenia

Calm down-
 
Aaron

I’m not calm!
 
Gardenia

Yes, thank you, we know.
 
Roark

We can’t do anything about it.
 
Gardenia

Hear that, Aaron?
 
Aaron

i wish the bug type trainers kept in touch.

Then i’d get advice

From people who aren’t STUPID
 
Gardenia

Make a groupchat.
 
Aaron

OH! YES! THE

BUG TYPE TRAINER

FROM ALOLA WILL TOTALLY UPDATE ME!
 
Gardenia

Yeesh
 
Aaron

I’m sorry I’m concerned about our Champion?
 
Gardenia

Everyone knows it’s because you want to beat her?
 
Aaron

You think I’m that calloused?
 
Gardenia

Well…
 
Aaron

??

Answer the question
 
Gardenia

I didn’t mean to imply

that.

Lucian

Nothing was implied. That was what you said.
 
Gardenia

Lucian

Because we’re friends?

Roark

Aaron

The fossil needed to be removed. You remind me..

@rockmaniac kicked @thebouffalantking

Lance

Lance

YES
 
Steven

AGGRON MENTION

If you need tips..

Also Excadrill are fantastic

There’s probably a story there?
 
Iris

yup
 
Steven

And a fossil.

I’m going to Unova too..
 
Lance

Wait no.
 
Ash

L honestly.

I travelled UNOVA with her
 
Lance

it’s the ash ketchum blessing
 
Iris

wait what
 
Lance

…. :) 
 
Steven

but anyway. I’m glad the fossil is gone.
 
Lance

Very understandable.

you can now get all the juicy details on confidential stuff

congratulations
 
Steven

I mean
 
Lance

with nuance
 
Iris

… cool? I don’t think theres anything I’d actually want to KNOW.
 
Lance

you’d be really surprised.

anyway

important note about being a champion is that you might be called out to help with other champions at times.
 
Iris

right
 
Lance

And there are a LOT of responsibilities so do get used to delegating tasks.
 
Steven

Don’t feel ashamed to ask us for help

I think last month Lance had to be reminded how to use the League Portal.
 
Lance

SHUT 
 
Ash

they argue like cats and dogs, sorry Iris.

oh and wallace is here and nobody kicks him
 
Leon

OMG THERES A NEW UNOVAN CHAMPION
 
Iris

..HI!
 
Leon

THATS SO COOL

HI IM LEON

I WAS SO BLOODY SICK OF ALDER
 
Lance

more inactive than

wait

Where’s cynthia????
 
Ash

Rambling about something. I don’t.. Actually know?
 
Lance

what
 
Ash

she accidentally entered the spirit world don’t worry
 
Lance

Every part of that was worrying Ash.
 
Ash

Well fair

She just stayed out on Poni Island too late

And Tapu Fini was bored

I did warn her
 
Lance

WHAT

DOES THAT MEAN
 
Ash

Apparently she ran into some weird people

I reminded her that dead people can be quite scary
 
Lance

Wh…
 
Ash

Honestly thanking Volkner

He contacted Sophocles so we were able to tell Tapu Fini off
 
Lance

… 
 
Diantha

You know what?

I’m not going on that Alola holiday.
 
Iris

I wonder how Grimsley would feel. Since he’s leaving.

I’m tempted to not tell him..
 
Ash

Grimsley-

who is he again
 
Iris

A douchebag.

Yeah, I’m not telling him.
 
Steven

OH
 
Wallace

Do the Unova elite hate eachother?
 
Iris

Just Grimsley
 
Ash

Reasonable
 
Lance

Agatha has come into my room cackling like a madwoman

Why are all ghost type trainers insane (YES IM INCLUDING MR. CLAIRVOYANT MORTY)
 
Steven

Can relate. Phoebe is..
 
Ash

Fantina is just like my father

Absent
 
Diantha

I JUST CHOKED ON MY CAPUCCINO
 
Iris

DEAR GOD

anyway shauntal isnt that bad
 
Ash

Acerola is lovely!

(She talks to a ghost every day)
 
Iris

why ash
 
Ash

It’s a cute ghost.
 
Iris

Ash..
 
Ash

:) 
 
Leon

can confirm Allister is 
 
Geeta

I don’t understand what you mean. The only frightening thing about Ryme is her ability to send your self-esteem six feet under with her

“sick beats”

Lance

It’s okay, Geeta. Emotional damage is scary too.
 
Ash

lance you’d definitely know a lot about emotional damage…
 
Iris

what are you implying
 
Lance

…
 
Ash

Silenced ^u^

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

#Kalos League
 
Clemont

https://sharepoint.files/confidential/projectlysandre

Has anybody actually been reading this?
 
Viola

Yes!

…no i only did the photographs and then stopped checking
 
Clemont

ah
 
Diantha

I’ve been tied up. Is it important?
 
Clemont

Checking over certain equipments

And I’m just wondering

Did anybody realise how much electricity that mega evolution device transferred?
 
Diantha

What about it?

When did you take such interest in the device that nearly put Ash comatose?

I thought we agreed that there wasn’t much we could do about it now.
 
Clemont

That’s the problem, really.

The electricity output should have easily killed him. Lysandre was extremely sloppy (and lucky, I suppose) but the energy and how it would have gone around his system would have caused his brain to stop working, at very least.
 
Diantha

what
 
Clemont

I’ve done the calculations, even used the device at small increments. Not only would it have been painful, the device itself isn’t targeted. From all the points, it, I mean, it really should have put him into a coma straight after.

Even accounting for adrenaline.
 
Diantha

What
 
Clemont

Right? That’s just incorrect. So maybe there were modifications that stopped it killing him.

The only

flaw

in the design is that you can easily control the flow of the electricity, which could,

theoretically,

trap some of the energy within the circlets.

A Pokemon would naturally do this, which is why they are industry standard for poachers.

Since their natural aura would act in self defence.

So, I repeat.

How did Ash survive?

Diantha

Erm

I could ask him?
 
Clemont

But if he didn’t bring it up before.
 
Diantha

Look, there are plenty of cases of him surviving things he shouldn’t
 
Clemont

So why are we treating it like normal?
 
Diantha

I understand you are a scientific mind, but.
 
Malva

Clemont is

correct,

Diantha. We should be investigating this further, not just, brushing it off.
 
Diantha

Then do that in your own time.
 
Clemont

I will. Thank you very much.
 
Diantha

Oh! Cynthia, honey, it’s been ages!
 
Cynthia

Hasn’t it?
 
Malva

It’s great to see an archaelogist here.
 
Clemont

In a scientific discussion?
 
Cynthia

About an impossible thing.
 
Clemont

Point taken. A scientist, journalist, archaelogist..
 
Gary

Correction: An inventor, journalist, archaelogist, scientist,
 
Clemont

That’s a decent enough team for me.

It’s not too late for you guys?
 
@theinventorboy set the groupchat to : private
 
Cynthia

It’s actually two am over here.

But I’m fine with that, haha.

I got told to stay inside a few days after my little spirit world excursion.

Honestly, this is perfectly timed.
 
Clemont

WAIT WHAT-
 
Malva

I caught wind of that.
 
Gary

Could you give us details? That’d be nice.
 
Cynthia

Well, of course!

So. I was alone, in the evening air of Poni Island.

I was wandering, after this eerie fog swept over. I lost all service, and found myself in a thick forest.

It smelled like my home, in Celestic Town. 
 
Gary

It smelled like your home?
 
Cynthia

There’s a smell, I promise.

But it wasn’t normal. It was a little encampment, all alone.

There were two people. One, who was seemingly under the care of the other?

The older one like me, but she wore a long, black flowing dress, and the other looked like me if I was a guy.
 
Gary

That’s…
 
Clemont

Were they your relatives?
 
Cynthia

I think I was closely related to the guy. He said something about me being a

worthy successor,

whatever that was supposed to mean. He wore traditional Ginkgo Guild garb, and told me he was only really, part time.
 
Clemont

Did you get a name?
 
Cynthia

No. I tried to find records of him in history books, but most history books don’t detail their guild well. Most is focused on the immense progress made by a young girl named Akari and how she worked to progress Jubilife Village.

And a hole in the sky.

But not anything about this chap.

The other girl was a historian like me.
 
Gary

Intriguing.
 
Cynthia

Anyway, all that waffle is to mean that they

Wanted to converse with me further, which, when I brought up to Ash got me stuck in my room. (He’s not a big ghost guy, I guess.)
Told me to look into the ancient energies of the world.
 
Gary

Ash doesn’t hate ghosts.

Forwarded > “I love ghosts. I remember hanging out with some in Lavender Town, and I mean, Acerola has one as a friend.”

Forwarded > “But I hate the ones Tapu Fini show, or whatever. She showed Mallow her mother. She showed Litten Stoutland. Why don’t I get that? What did I do wrong that Latios didn’t want to see me?”

Malva

Latios?
 
Clemont

Are you sure you should be forwarding DMs?
 
Gary

Ash told me if I was ever concerned for his wellbeing to forward whatever I liked, since he’d probably forget.
 
Clemont

Fine so. Anyway,

Latios?

Cynthia

Lance told me about that, I can show you guys. It was the Altomare incident ;

fileshare/altomare,

passcode ;

Annie

Clemont

Malva, can you give us a journalists summary?
 
Malva

Sure thing, buddy.
 
Gary

According to my research, Tapu Fini doesn’t actually control the realm of spirits, but instead, being within her mists weakens the boundaries between said realms. Latios would have made the conscious decision to not see Ash.
 
Clemont

We could try to measure to see the exact numbers going on here, with Cynthia going back out to them?
 
Gary

I suppose, but you’d have to be a hell of an inventor to come up with a device capable of measuring that.
 
Clemont

Realistically, you don’t need to measure the actual boundaries weakening. Cynthia said she lost internet, we can use the signal strength of her phone and create a metric based on the signal lost per second.
 
Gary

So you could just make an app that tracks mobile signal.
 
Clemont

I could do that in a weekend, trust me. 
 
Cynthia

I should be allowed

out

by then.
 
Clemont

Any update on Latios?
 
Malva

Altomare was flooding due to the tampering of the natural flood defence which was guarded by Latios and Latias, and in the process of protecting the Eon Duo and the city, Latios was forced to sacrifice himself. 
 
Clemont

ok im not good enough with people
 
Cynthia

erm
 
Malva

I think I’m a bit too cynical to make judgement here.
 
Gary

shrug
 
Clemont

Eek. Who can we add?
 
Gary

Most people would run to Ash and be like MEMEMEMEME
 
Malva

How eloquent.
 
Cynthia

Are we all this emotionally stunted?
 
Malva

Well, I would presume that Ash blames himself for Latios’s dead, and Latios assumed that he would feel so bad that he wouldn’t accept leaving Latios there?
 
Cynthia

EXACTLY

Ash said there was a timer on it.
 
Malva

Look at us, using all our braincells.
 
Clemont

yeesh

“how many trainers does it take to understand the emotional motivations of a singular guy” 
 
Gary

Ash isn’t normal
 
Clemont

Wow, brilliant observation.
 
Malva

Next you’ll tell us grass is green.

Off topic, you were talking about the voltage and the impossibility of that.

I was with him soon after that.

Now, I was stressed out of my head so I may have been hallucinating
 
Clemont

Hallucinations aren’t a stress reaction.
 
Malva

Or it was a trick of the light,

but his eyes looked blue ish.
 
Clemont

It would have been one hell of a trick

I think that’s confirmed.

Blue.

I guess we have another thing to keep an eye out for.
 
Gary

Anyway on a lighter topic!

my grandfather just got bullied out the room by Bulbasaur
 
Clemont

HUH
 
Gary

Bulbasaur trudged in went BULB BULBA SAUR

and whacked him with a vine until he went to sleep

That plant guy is on a warpath.
 
Clemont

HELP
 
Gary

With all the work I’m doing with Project Mew recently, he’s been forcing me to sleep with Sleep Powders, too.
 
Clemont

Terrifying.
 
Malva

Cynth, did you go to bed?
 
Cynthia

No, I have work.
 
Malva

“Work” as in reading through historical references or

“Work” as in the files on Ingo’s disappearance
 
Cynthia

How did you know about-

yes its the latter.

Iris immediately reached out for my assistance, but she’s kept the others in the dark for now.
 
Malva

I usually keep my ears open for things.
 
Cynthia

She told Diantha, then.
 
Malva

Indeed. Thought the actress might have a clue.

Strange way to go.

There one day, gone the next?

His league rank is going to plummet.
 
Cynthia

Emmet is going mad trying to find him.
 
Malva

I don’t like it.
 
Clemont

I’m not trying to add

insult to injury here,

but.

I keep an eye on everyone’s activity (because…)
 
Gary

Yeah
 
Clemont

Around the same time Ingo vanished,

Dawn did too.
 
Cynthia

We can’t tell Ash.
 
Malva

Absolutely not.
 
Gary

I have a nasty feeling he’s going to find out anyway.

Nothing you need to worry about, Gary.

Project Mew doesn’t even care if I work out regularly!

It helps to tire me out

ChosenOne

(Ash)

Nothing is wrong!
 
@naturalistic

shut up

pressuring him to tell you things will only make him retreat further into his shell than before. tell me you have nothing better to do without saying it, huh? i mean, look at you, complaining and arguing for communication on an online groupchat instead of bonding with your pokemon who probably don’t even like you because you spend all your time wasting over the screen instead of living your fucking life.

I’m so sorry

We’re looking everywhere, I promise.
 
Iris

The only thing, I mean, only, thing we have is Emmet saying he went down walking the subway tunnels with his Chandelure, and Chandelure returned acting severely distressed.

His Pokemon are left behind.
 
@themotherarchaelogist

(Cynthia)

Are you going to close the Subway?
 
Iris

Probably.
 
Gary

And you just became Champion too.
 
Iris

It’s not been great.

But I’ve been managing
 
Gary

With coffee?
 
Iris

I’m sleeping fine.

I’m just not getting lots of time to enjoy myself
 
Gary

Oh

Really now?

That’s the usual.

#How Does Ash Live?
 
Gary

MALVA

> “I have ur thing

will i just pop it

beside

the water”

> “pressuring him to tell you things will only make him retreat further into his shell than before. tell me you have nothing better to do without saying it, huh? i mean, look at you, complaining and arguing for communication on an online groupchat instead of bonding with your pokemon who probably don’t even like you because you spend all your time wasting over the screen instead of living your fucking life.”

Acerola and mystery person.
 
Cynthia

The second message was defending Ash being … “uncommunicative.”
 
Malva

Context for Acerola’s message?
 
Gary

None
 
Malva

Well

With a bit of sleuthing, you can figure out that it’s like some kind of medicine, seeing as its being put beside water and they appear connected. 
 
Gary

It’s from Unova.
 
Malva

The most common medicine exports from Unova are usually things like sleep-inducing..

Oh

Well I hope it’s not.
 
Gary

Um
 
Cynthia

Oh.
 
Clemont

Let’s not get hasty.
 
Gary

clemont

It’s actually kind of possible.
 
Clemont

Oh?
 
Gary

Ash has always had some problems with sleeping, just not noticeable when he’s walking upwards of 8 hours a day.
 
Clemont

So how does he sleep when he’s at Pallet
 
Gary

Here’s the fun part. He doesn’t.
 
Cynthia

And you thought to not bring up his insomnia.
 
Gary

It’s always been a thing he did.

Didn’t you forget he woke up late to collect his Pokemon?
 
Clemont

-
 
Malva

That’s something the journalists don’t know.
 
Gary

Actually, his insomnia has gotten much worse. 
 
Clemont

kalos crisis
 
Gary

He doesn’t get nightmares about most crisises though.
 
Clemont

Of course not.

Nobody gets hurt. Ash has one of the biggest saviour complexes I have ever seen.

But people died in that.
 
Gary

oh 
 
Malva

2,568.
 
Gary

OH

FUCK IT WAS THAT MUCH?
 
Clemont

Yeah.

Maybe that’s what all that bother back there was
 
Gary

Yeah

His sleeping must have gotten worse.
 
Cynthia

Glad that’s figured out!

DraconicQueen

Sandstorms

(Raihan)

I mean

DraconicQueen

(Iris)

Absolutely nothing.
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

I know it’s stressful Iris but we’re doing everything we can over here

I mean

I split 50% of the taskforce for you on this
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

I know, I’m eternally grateful 
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

You’re my queen in Dragonite solidarity

Course I’m helping

(the adoption papers are coming)
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

um what
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Yes

Didn’t you hear..
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

I THOUGHT DRAYDEN WAS JOKING
 
TheUniversityMan

(Drayden)

I don’t joke.
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

Hold up what

lance i thought you were joking

i told leon that was

all /j teehee silly me
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Oh no I’m actually doing it

Clair volunteered to be the cool aunt already
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

Isn’t she your cousin
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

And she volunteered to be a cool aunt.

Nicest thing she’s done the last 5 business days

Luckily I have a strong case
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

Feels like a bad story plotline

“My Role Model Dragon-Type Trainer Adopts Me!”
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

And are you arguing..
 
DraconicQueen

(Iris)

What no

That’s totally fine with me
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Still don’t get how the Village of Dragons works
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

Welp.

Leon lost his bet with me

HAH
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

PFFT

Anyway 
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

You can’t just ANYWAY this Lance

What’s the story
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

Clair used to bring Iris around for training and stuff back when they trained together

And we became close friends

But like

In a family way

yk 
 
Sandstorms

(Raihan)

I don’t but w/e
 
FlyingMaster

(Lance)

I looked into it

And was like

“well, she’s probably would like the actual financial stability”
 
DraconicQueen

HUH

OKAY?

That’s so normal of you I guess

Very normal

(its actually very cool this is totally fine by me)

(just emphasising that)
 
Sandstorms

Raihan

Leon

OMFG

I WAS TALKING TO HER YESTERDAY

DAMN IT
 
Raihan

Wait she contacted you too?
 
Leon

Yes

I had nothing though

Unfortunately
 
Raihan

Damn

I don’t understand

How does a man just vanish?
 
Leon

Exactly!

They said there was no struggle, no fingerprints, no blood, no movement.

Just vanished out of thin air, in the tunnels.
 
Raihan

eerk

It’s a frustrating case

There’s no psychic disturbance either

Uh
 
Leon

Did they get that ghost type specialist to check his Chandelure?
 
Raihan

em
 
Allister

past

shadows
 
Raihan

HOLY FUCK ALLISTER

YES

YES

I’VE HAD THE BEST IDEA

OMG

I’m going to see you mate, okay?
 
Allister

always

raihan
 
Raihan

I’m going to bring

um

I’m going to bring the Dreepys too!
 
Allister

sounds

fun :) 
 
Raihan

Why the hell didn’t I think of this earlier

(why did nobody)
 
Leon

because its a detective case

not

supernatural? 
 
Raihan

EXCEPT, LEON!

What if we’re wrong

What if 
 
Leon

Rai are you good

You sound a bit
 
Raihan

Lance has been riled up

Iris has been riled up

AKA

Every dragon type trainers is riled up
 
Leon

Ooh

Makes sense?
 
C.Rose

You two, back to work.
 
Raihan

stfu 
 
Leon

um
 
C.Rose

Excuse me?
 
Raihan

You. heard. Me.

Shut the fuck up.

Get back to work, Rose.

We aren’t under your authority, not really.

You have authority purely because Leon isn’t an administrative person.

You don’t have a leg to stand on here.

We are working.

We are discussing classified League information in a classified channel while adding some

light hearted humour

because we aren’t

depressed.

This is incredibly normal.
 
C.Rose

Raihan, if you don’t stop you’ll be in more trouble than you were already.
 
Raihan

Good! Get me in trouble, Rose, because I’m going to be actually helping out people.

Maybe I’ll get hanging out with Ash’s clique.

That’s where the

fun

happens.

“Be a professional” you say,

Well,

I’m on

fucking holiday!

Leon

aaaaaaaaaaand he’s gone

he’s probably muted the chat
 
Milo

Raihan???
 
Nessa

Oh lord
 
Kabu

That’s interesting-
 
Leon

praying to our lord and saviour Arceus
 
C.Rose

WORK!!!!
 
Melony

Now Hold On!

What Raihan said was absolutely correct! No wonder he’s frustrated! You shut down all our conversations here unless they are 100% relevant to our duties, consistently!

We didn’t get this app to just get lectured!
 
Gordie

shiiiiiiiit

ive not seen her this mad in a hot minute
 
Bea

You are FUCKED my guy
 
Kabu

Are you sure we should be fucking swearing around Chairman Rose ?
 
Bea

AYYYYYYYYY
 
Melony

Well! Look at that, Rose. We just want some freedom to speak and express ourselves in our own groupchat!

Sure, a little order is good, but this is getting ridiculous!

I’m sure the other groupchats for leagues are more open!

We have to

wait

until you are offline.

And that’s completely unfair on our schedules!
 
C.Rose

Melony
 
Melony

Go to your room! Phone off! And not a PEEP out of you until you have a nice think about what you have done!

Now!
 
C.Rose

um 
 
Bea

HE’S GONE OFFLINE

HELP

Cynthia

Clemont

Gary

Cynthia

Let’s look at the evidence: so, I was having another conversation with Cogita (when we measured the fog again)
 
Gary

who
 
Cynthia

The old woman

She told me a more accurate version of the events ~150 years, and about this young girl.
 
Gary

don’t 
 
Cynthia

Aged sixteen. Blue hair. Strange clothes upon landing. An affinity for Pokemon. Close with a Pearl Clan warden, written out of the history books for not being part of any traditional bloodlines.

who work a dark coat.

Allister also said something about present people being in the past.
 
Gary

But Dawn was online yesterday.
 
Cynthia

What
 
Gary

I messaged her and everything

> “Hey Dawn are you alright?”

> “i’m good”

> “OMG IT SENT”

Cynthia

INVITE HER NOW
 
Gary

Clemont
 
Clemont

@theinventorboy added @piplupgirl

@piplupgirl changed her nickname to Dawn
 
Cynthia

Dawn

Dawn

Cynthia

Yeah

Are you okay?
 
Dawn

erm

Clemont

Dawn

Malva

Are you in Ancient Hisui, ~150 years prior, possibly with Ingo?
 
Gary

Watch her be on a nature trip.
 
Dawn

I am

Does Ash know?
 
Gary

No we’re hiding it
 
Dawn

Keep doing that he’ll fistfight Arceus
 
Gary

How is your phone working?
 
Dawn

Arceus
 
Gary

dawn you cant just say “god”
 
Dawn

IT’S THE TRUTH

my name here is Akari Shō

I’m in Hisui!

Real hisui

its ok ill bully dialga and he might let me go to and fro the past
 
Gary

How long have you been there?
 
Dawn

Like… 4 weeks

I’ve actually… sort of being lying to y’all

Just a tad
 
Gary

THEN WHY DID YOU GO OFFLINE
 
Dawn

Because the world was ending and I needed to train the ever loving crap out of my team. It’s all good now
 
Cynthia

Akari more like Ash-kari

but

wait i thought you were a performer
 
Dawn

cynthia i love and adore you but here its the wild west
 
Gary

So is everything okay now?
 
Dawn

What?

Absolutely not

I’m on a wild goose hunt for ancient relics!
 
Gary

Oh 
 
Dawn

So I can’t come back

Sorryyyyy
 
Cynthia

Why
 
Dawn

Because it was

Arceus

who brought me and I had to save

Dialga and Palkia

Unfortunately he won’t help me

Also I have to go soon

Rei wants to go hunting abt in the mirelands with me

Wooooooooo mud
 
Cynthia

Gary

Dawn

Gary

Dawn

I did!

Clemont

We weren’t going to..
 
Dawn

he’d definitely get stressed about it.

anyway brb i can chat on the way to the mirelands too
 
Cynthia

Anything about Hisui you’d like to share?
 
Dawn

When I get back NONE of my clothes are going to fit me

Even my outfit I came in is like

Barely fitting properly
 
Cynthia

O_O
 
Dawn

But I have tailored clothes so

SHRUG

And the Survey Corps uniform is comfortable
 
Cynthia

Danika

.

Gary

Have you slept okay?
 
Gary

no but that’s not really related

somehow
 
Quillon

I’m willing.

I’m intrigued, actually.

Plus, he has seen Mew. He could provide helpful insight here.
 
Danika

I suppose.

And it is the Alolan Champion!
 
Gary

Thank you so much!!!!

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

#ProjectMew

Gary

my friend wants to chat before he comes
So i added him

Danika

Kay
@satoshii_

(Ash)

What is this
Gary was vague

Quillon

We’re trying to find Mew
@satoshii_

(Ash)

Why
Quillon

I feel there’s a certain redundancy in the question here.

Because its Mew.

We want to study it?

@satoshii_

(Ash)

And how does that benefit your research? What do you plan on doing when you find it?
Gary

they literally just want to look at it ash chill
@satoshii_

(Ash)

You know who also wanted to “Just look at it?”
Literally every mass criminal in history

Gary

actually
wait no

Im not

@satoshii_

(Ash)

Good idea.
Anyway?

What is the point.

Quillon

To study Mew.
Can’t really explain further

because there isn’t a further on this

gary you are like a fifteen year old kid

Assuming Ash is your age

Why / how / why?

Danika

chill! Live your childhood!
@satoshii_

(Ash)

I’m the champion of a region
Gary

And Iris still plays with teddys, don’t see your point..
@satoshii_

(Ash)

Alola didn’t have a league beforehand
And she also doesn’t have Lusamine Aether

Speaking of

Are you going to be following safety procedures approaching Mew??

Quillon

We’re.. Forming an elite team of trainers?
@satoshii_

(Ash)

How elite?
Gary

I mean, I’m on it!
@satoshii_

(Ash)

Gary no offence I have zero clue how strong you are nowadays
Goh

O_O
hello ..

Quillon

Me and Danika have Urshifu (a legendary)
Danika

It’s powerful
@satoshii_

(Ash)

oh i have bad news for you
Gary

Oh?
@satoshii_

(Ash)

the only pokemon i’ve seen actually challenge Mew properly was a literal clone of itself
Gary

When the HELL did this happen
WHat

Goh

HATWATHAT
Danika

Was that the Mew encounter Gary mentioned
@satoshii_

(Ash)

the one he didn’t know about lol
The one he was thinking of was at Rota

Gary

WHY DIDN’T YOU MENTION THE MEW CLONE
I THINK THAT WAS IMPORTANT

ASH YOU CAN’T KEEP DROPPING RANDOM FACTOIDS ABOUT YOURSELF LIKE THAT

I’VE KNOWN YOU SINCE YOU HAD NO TEETH

@satoshii_

(Ash)

BECAUSE IT WASN’T EXACTLY LIKE “TEEHEE FUN VACAY”
Goh

O_O???
Quillon

Well, what did Mew show itself CAPABLE of then.
@satoshii_

(Ash)

i think the murdering thing was the worst
Though it was a group effort between it and the clone

Gary

I’m sorry what
did- the person get

unmurdered

@satoshii_

(Ash)

yeah
Something happened

Quillon

What happened?
@satoshii_

(Ash)

I DON’T KNOW I WAS THE ONE WHO GOT MURDERED
Gary

starting to see why you didnt mention this
WHAT

@satoshii_

(Ash)

i tried to fistfight the mew clone
it was better in my head

Goh

I’m terrified-
Danika

gary im writing this down
@satoshii_

(Ash)

I mean this is why I don’t want to talk abt
Gary

I know the other Mew time wsan’t great
But I thought the people weren’t properly killed

@satoshii_

(Ash)

that’s because i didn’t give you the full story
omg

Danika

well
any tips.. When we FIND Mew?

@satoshii_

(Ash)

pray for your life?
Gary

Didn’t Mew save you?
@satoshii_

(Ash)

Yeah, after I got swallowed by a blob
Quillon

how are you alive
@satoshii_

(Ash)

A mixture of bad luck and the fact I don’t think god has a replacement
Gary

er
@satoshii_

(Ash)

I’m dipping <3
Goh

what the actual fuck
Gary

ok look he’s been better recently
Danika

does he go to therapy
Gary

no
Who would you take him to?

Danika

…i don’t know, whoever Lance goes to?
Gary

I don’t think Lance goes to therapy.
Danika

He said it on an interview once
Gary

huh you learn something new every day
Goh

You say that like you know Lance
Gary

Ash knows him
I know Ash

friend - of - a friend

Goh

O_O
Quillon

There was the interesting point brought up though
We do need to be exceedingly careful, no matter how confident we are in our training.

Danika

Are you sure? The stories of a Champion famed for resetting his progress every region may not be the best to go off of.
Quillon

Would it have helped?
Gary

ash resets his team because he’d crush the leagues otherwise
Goh

Is he really that good..?
Gary

his battle frontier crew are scary.
He beat the battle frontier.

That’s not easy.

Goh

oh
oh holy mother of arceus

Gary

he met arceus
like three times

Danika

Restating the previous therapy thing.
Gary

He doesn’t ever seem affected by things? And this is a chat with Quillon in it.
Quillon

-
Goh

Actually, I was really bored one afternoon so I’ve researched about this, and one of my onl..ine… friends…
oh

OH MY GOD

Gary

What
Goh

nothing!!!
I must be mixing them up!

Gary

?
Goh

Really!
Gary

Why?
Goh

I’m in this chat, with a few others and it was kind of one of those cringy chats where everyone shares their problems yk
Gary

I don’t really, but I’ll take your word for it
Goh

anyway one of the people just has the same energy as Ash
I don’t chat there as much anymore anyway

Gary

not many things with the same energy as Ash
How did you even find this chat anyway?

Goh

Over on my old private account
I used to post

Look, just, I was invited.

Why are you following me up, I said it wasn’t him

Gary

just curious
I mean, I don’t have time for stuff like that

Goh

Oh, because you are always running around?
Gary

Yes
I don’t spend time really

Yeah

Goh

That’s fine!
Quillon

dms
Danika

Oh, leave them Quillon
What will it do to drown out the messages

I wrote them all down anyway!

Quillon

i mean
this is a public groupchat
