I think everything is ready now. Sabrina didn’t you say your things were in the room?

Alakazam took them. We should arrive within hours.

Arceus...

…

Arceus...

Well…. first, I owe @planetnumbersix 2 more bags of nuggets.

Second… well, we wound up running into the man himself, Cyrus. Dude’s got a pretty powerful team, including a fucking Thundurus in it’s Therian form. Thankfully Lucario and Blastoise managed to save us from being electrocuted… but Saturn got KOed before the fight even started.

I guess one good thing about this all is that I figured out how he teleports. His arm is basically some sort of teleportation device. It takes a few minutes to charge, but once it’s charged he’s outta here.

Now for the bad news…

We searched the sacked bunker and apparently he’s got a bomb theoretically powerful enough to blow up one of Sinnoh’s three big lakes. Cat ears says it never got past the prototype stage, but that could mean a lot of things.

Hopefully he won’t use it in a populated area.

The roughly 40 chicken nuggets I’m about to consume won’t help the fucking migraine that asshole gave me with his horrid metal arm. I swear to god, my head feels like a Metagross sucker-punched me in the temple.

Yeah, there’s a bomb. It’s not done, but if he took that big cumbersome thing he’ll probably be trying to finish it. Fuck knows why. Also, don’t let Mr. Hotshot here sell you short, we got our asses handed to us. Proceed with caution or get shut the hell down. I’ve seen that team tear people apart in the past, and apparently now he’s got a rain god. So that’s cute.

I got some Advil in my bag. Isn’t much but it might dull it a little.

I don’t need your sympathy, asshole. Keep your pain pills to yourself.

…

Well…. this is gonna take a bit.

“I AM UNERNEATH ISCHIA. [i am] TRAPPED AND CONTROLLED THE [game] IS OVER SHACKLES HAVE LOOSENED I CAN SPEAK DIRECTLY AS OPPOSED TO CRYPTICALLY AS I HAVE BEEN FORCED. I AM STILL BOUND. YOU ALL MUST BREAK THE MOUNTAIN. YOU ALL MUST CUT THE STRINGS YOU AND MUST FIND HER BEFORE THEY TIRE MUST FIND HIS SCHEMES AND PUT FORTH THEIR OWN COLD [end?]”

Still kinda cryptic but I get the message. I guess the first goal is to find… whoever “her” is.

Well, this seems like something that I absolutely 100% don’t want to be involved with in any extent or possibility. 

Thinking of an issue in either a negative or positive light can result in attracting said item. 

Yeah, but ignoring potential threats can be just as dangerous as drawing them in with attention. Personally I’m not a fan of the idea that Ghosteyes McBaseballcap could blindside me with an icicle to the throat due to something as hilariously pathetic as willful ignorance.

And people say you are unkind. I have heard many say similar words. Preach how neutrality in a time of need is equally frowned upon as the crime itself, yet I find little to motive me into action. While you keep watch in dangerous entrances I will proceed with my own affairs. People can’t say you don’t have some good in you.

Oh, c’mon. You’re gunna ruin my “grouchy asshole hacking savant” reputation at this rate. 

Do what you’ve gotta do. If I had my way, this spooky Morse code-fetishizing pile of Hot Topic merchandise wouldn’t even be a blip on the radar. But it is, and it’s strategically unintelligent to just ignore what could be a problem. Maybe it’ll turn out to be some stupid teen playing a prank with a few shitty Photoshop edits and I can just make their computer explode or something. Though I doubt my karma’s good enough for that.

It would hardly affect your image if I were the one to say pleasantries of you. On the contrary you should find another if you wish to remove stains from your past. I am no ambassador for such feat. 

Yes, I suppose in your current state you must analyze your surroundings. Your current chains offer limited protection. If you do not care for yourself you might find little who will. You have a sharp mind, if you had believed it to be a joke you would have easily dismissed it. There is something which caught your attention. It it for such reason you are in your current state.

… That was a joke, designed to combine self-deprecation and backhanded appreciation of how genuinely nice you seem to be being to me for some mysterious reason. Though… the gesture is appreciated, I guess. Futile as it is.

But you’re right there. I’m not exactly in the most defensible of situations, paranoia might actually be more helpful than debilitating for once. And the way that the kid ripped into analysis of some generically Halloween-costume-shop-banner image is just… too telling to ignore. 

I’ll do more research. Need to know as much as possible.

It appears the child has yet to teach me these sort of jokes. If you consider my actions to be kind you are in worse state than you show. There are no mysterious reasons behind my contact. I am bored with the mundane. You appeared. I find you to be of interest and disregard what others state of you. Simple actually. 

You know better than most what cards are stacked in your favor. Use them to your advantage in order to stay alive. It would be a pity to see your life end so quickly. Finding new sources of entertainment is harder than it sounds. 

Well…. this is gonna take a bit.

I am surprised you lower yourself to amuse others @psychicroseroyalty

You should embrace these abilities with more zeal Sabrina. Practice, even at this level, allows for further accuracy. We could discuss it over tea at one point. Your pokemon were well trained. I enjoyed their company.

I am not a fortune teller nor do I plan to chase that path. You can enjoy it to your hearts content but I would think someone who hates being called as such would not do it. You are contradicting yourself. 

Tea can be arranged. I am in Sinnoh. Your location is not too far off.

Yet you have abilities which surpass mine….

Do not mistake things. I loath being referred as such. My current actions are a test of my own strength. We were not all blessed with the fate of being in an eternal state of psychic growth.

I have returned to Unova. Sinnoh hold very little to entice me back into its borders. You must come to me. Easy for one of your capacity. 

My abilities are not for games. If you dislike it as much you certainly do not display it. I would not count all of my past as a blessing. Don’t be fooled by all those dreams in your head. They are not always the right answers...

Once we are finished here I can stop to meet you. There is a certain matter I would like to discuss with you.

Well…. this is gonna take a bit.

Meditation wouldn’t harm you.

Karen you’re being hypocritical.

Sabby! I’m just telling the punk to leave you alone. He is up to no good I can tell.

He is doing nothing to me. I find the situation entertaining.

It amuses me to see you on your phone. I would have expected you to be communicating with the stars.

You are confusing my abilities. The stars have never held information for me. They prefer those of other lands. Thoughts are my informants. 

I remember what you have described in our tea sessions. The stars hold secrets for all of us. You merely need to learn how to read them.

Are you to tell me you know how to decipher their messages. Morty, I was unaware ghosts enjoyed astronomy.

Can you say boring? Morty, you and Sabrina left me alone and now I’m bored!

You’re the one that expressed her desire of wanting to look for pokemon. We left to get food.

Sabrina?

You worry far too much Morty.
