33 [Action/Video]

[mischiefbreeder]

[It was a fairly typical day in Luceti. The weather was starting to improve. Not by much yet, but it was improving. The snow had been starting to melt, it's steadily getting warmer...

...And people were starting to arrive in Luceti again. New faces, old faces, even long-forgotten faces. And on this particular day, it's the second of these that can be spotted passing through the village, as a boy with messy black hair in New Feather garb floats through the plaza seated atop... a strange flying white bird?]

Doesn't look like this place's changed a bit, huh, Togetaro? ...Oh, right, I guess you wouldn't know. Well, whatever! Come on, onward, in that direction! [He gives a forceful point in the direction of the shops. His memories were a bit fuzzy, but he thankfully remembered enough to know how to get back to the village and get his stuff.]

[After retrieving his things, Gold decides to hit up the journal.]

So, how long was I gone from this place? And you guys better not've given away my room, you hear me?

[mischiefbreeder]

Well, if you really wanna know...

[acuity]

Of course I do!

[mischiefbreeder]

[Gold's tone grows serious now.]

...I was on a mission to save Arceus.

[acuity]

Arceus? The creation pokemon?

[ PING. ]

What happened!

[mischiefbreeder]

Team Rocket tried to harness Arceus' power for their own purposes.

[acuity]

What! What purpose would that be, how could they...!

[mischiefbreeder]

They wanted to have Arceus' power in their hands all for the sake of showing off to their boss. They even forced it to create Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina.

[DO THOSE NAMES SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU, PLATINA.]

[acuity]

[ THEY DO INDEED. ]

A-again? Shouldn't that create a paradox, how was that even possible?!

[mischiefbreeder]

"Again?" [Gurl watchoo talkin' about.]

[acuity]

Dialga and Palkia and Giratina are already in existence. Why would it recreate them? It should throw the world off-balance!

[mischiefbreeder]

Except according to Lance, until that moment, they hadn't existed in our world since ancient times.

[acuity]

They certainly do! If not in our universe, then in a dimension slightly apart!

[mischiefbreeder]

But can you prove that's always been the case?

[acuity]

Can this Lance person prove otherwise?

[mischiefbreeder]

Probably. He seems to know a lot about Legendary Pokémon.
