The people have spoken.
Ok.
Good morning, Crono―oh, wait, wrong game
(Not shown: Hoopa approaches and jumps up and down while doing its cry)
I didn't respond, so it throws me into a portal? What a jerk.
You and me both, buddy.
Bad touch!
I wonder who Zeph is. Guess we'll be finding out eventually.
Thank you, Mr. Exposition
How about you stop
Your what?
(Not shown: Hoopa jumps up and down to indicate "yes")
Maybe it would obey you if you were less of a jerk to it? Maybe not a 100% chance but, ya know, probably a higher chance than you have right now.
Hmm... I think maybe we will.
So now I finally have control of the player character.
Potions are good things to have.
That would also be a good thing to have.
This guy just says the same thing every time you talk to him, and there doesn't seem to be anything else in here. But if you "talk" to the red-haired person again...
That's definitely his name and not just the brand of his clothing, right? ...Yeah. Probably.
Your guess is as good as mine, honestly.
Pfft. If we're from the same town, I probably know his real name. But I guess I'm calling him Nike anyway.
Um. I'm not sure that's a good idea.
...well, fine, if you insist.
...yeah, I didn't think that would work.
Also, is that Hoopa? Is this the same guy? Probably not, but I'm not sure.
I guess you don't have a keycard either, huh? And the windows do nothing, so ... where are we supposed to go?
―After a bit of wandering around―
You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?
Hell yeah.
By the way, I went back and checked; if you interact with the cage before you've done all this, it just says "there are Pokemon locked in here" and doesn't give you the option of breaking the lock. Lame.
Gible, Beldum, and Larvitar. That's one heck of a starter trio.
I don't even care if it only has Take Down (though I'm assuming it doesn't) - its resistances are honestly just too good to pass up.
+atk -speed. Definitely an acceptable nature for this pokemon
Where's it gonna go? There's still a dude blocking the door.
Speaking of which...
Yep, let's do that.
Hey buddy, I'm just spitballin' here, but you might wanna let your Pokemon out before you start making threats like that?
Nah, man, you got this.
Pfft, I didn't think that would actually work.
Nike lets him run away. Honestly, if we're being dark and edgy here, wouldn't it be better to eliminate the witness?
Yeah, let's go together―
Oh. I guess not.
Heh. Torchickened out. I like that.
Time for the big escape scene, I guess. We'll save that for next time.
