[Zeryph, two hours after incident]
[Update!]
[Version 2.0 added]
[Generation-Nine content has been added to your world. You won't be doing anything related to it until you reach that point. Sorry to say, but we have to restrict access to gen-9 due to potential spoilers. You'll have it unlocked at some point after Mt. Silver, at the earliest.]
[We didn't have anything that needed fixing, at least that we noticed. We'll leave finding the issues to you. Better to find them that way, after all.]
[Lastly, sorry about what happened to you. You can expect that there won't be significant problems alongside future updates.- The Monitor.]
I woke up to the feeling of my head resting on something soft, and something cold on my forehead. My head was still throbbing, but my headache had lessened, at least a little. I slowly blinked my eyes open, and groaned quietly.
"Hey honey. How are you feeling?" Melanie quietly asked.
"Not great, honestly." I answered. "Head still hurts, but I don't think I'm gonna pass out again."
"I would certainly hope not, as you've got a bit to explain." I sat up really quickly when I heard that voice, only to wince and grab the sides of my head. Melanie gently pulled me back and laid me back down.
"Easy, honey. You've been out for two hours. You shouldn't sit up so fast, I doubt a head rush is going to do your headache any favors." Melanie said.
"My apologies, I did not mean to startle you." Dialga said.
"It's fine, I should've guessed the changes to our world would've gotten your attention." I replied.
"So, tell me…how is it that an entire region, with history and everything, has just…appeared out of thin air?"
"Wait a moment, what?"
"It's true, every word of it." Dialga said.
"Huh…that explains why the Monitor warned me ahead of time." I said to myself.
"Who?"
"Someone related to the powers I have, sorry to say that I can't explain more than that. But what I can tell you is, all the things related to this new region, are part of a massive update to the System. That's why it has all suddenly appeared, when it didn't exist before."
"I…see. I shall relay this information to Father. I can tell you for sure, He's not too happy with something messing with this world on that level. If you have anything else you can tell me, I would greatly appreciate it."
"I don't think so, at least…not for right now. From what I've seen, I can't even do anything with the new stuff anyway, not until I finish my planned course. Which is to say, training up at Mt. Silver."
"Very well." Dialga sighed, then stood up from the chair he had sat down on. "I shall take what information I do have, to Father. If you learn anything at all, you know how to contact us." He then vanished in a flash of blue light.
I then let out a soft groan, and felt a warm pulse from Melanie's restoration magic.
"Kinda wish I had some--"
"You don't need it, let me take care of you." Melanie smiled down at me.
"Yeah, you're right." I reached up and grabbed one of her hands with mine.
"Take some time to rest, and then we'll go and handle that battle we were supposed to be having." A soft knock drew her attention to the door. "It's unlocked, go ahead." I heard the click from the door opening.
"Hey uh…Melanie, right?" I smiled when I heard that voice.
"Hey kiddo."
"Zeryph? Are you alright? I heard that there was an incident."
"Fine, killer headache though. It should pass in a couple more hours."
"That's great. Mom's real worried about you." He sat down, careful to not sit down on my legs by accident.
"I bet she is, after what she heard. I guess, you called her after you heard." I said.
"Yeah, that's right. I believe your team is out for right now. Mewtwo said they were going to go help out around the city. This place is a mess."
"Alrighty. If you see them, let them know I'll be up in a little while. And don't go challenging the gym without me, ya hear?"
"Sure thing. From what I heard, you passed out before you could even start your battle."
"Yeah, that's right. Anyway, you can go on out. Just lock the door on your way out." Ash got up from the bed, and started on his way out. I listened for the clicks of the door locking, then from him pulling it shut.
"Do you think a nice soak does anything for a headache?" Melanie asked once Ash had left the room.
"For a headache, I don't think so. But you're not wrong, a hot bath is nice. Can help for soreness too, just like a massage can."
"Oh, really? Well then, why not go and have one? It would be nice to relax for a bit."
"Yeah, but it would be better to wait until after the gym." I said. It sucks that we missed Ash's group arriving in the city. Would've been out on the street to meet them if I hadn't passed out like that.
"That's a fair point. Hey…I have a question, do you think that maybe I could…try to do this one on my own?" Melanie asked.
"Huh? Why do you ask?" I asked in return.
"I don't know…maybe because of my typing, maybe because I want to see how strong my abilities are. I…guess that's it. I don't know for sure though."
"Alright. But, listen, if you feel like you're going to be overwhelmed, or you feel tired, don't be afraid to switch out. I know you're powerful, sure, but everyone has their limits."
"I know…I'll be careful, I promise. Now…are you going to rest, or do you want to just go ahead and get that battle out of the way?" She asked. I began to sit up, with a little help from her.
"What's the point in waiting more than we have already? Besides, that update just added on an extra delay, anyways."
"Yeah, that's right. I'll go round up everyone else, then meet you at the gym." We shared a quick kiss before she got up and went to leave the room. I waited a few minutes before I slowly got up, making sure I didn't get another head rush. I took a moment to stretch, then put my shoes on before I started to head down.
[Break]
My team was waiting outside the gym, by the time I arrived. It looked like they were talking about something, I guess it's related to Melanie wanting to do this on her own.
"There she is." She waved at me, and the others turned my way.
"Hey guys, sorry about passing out like that." I said as I approached.
"It's fine, had you known ahead of time, we would've been ready for it." Mewtwo said.
"Yeah, but we can't really plan for what the System is going to do. Well, for it, or whoever is in control of it." Kaorah said. "Now, what's this about Melanie wanting to try to do this on her own?"
"So, I guess she told y'all, then?" Everyone nodded. "Alright…yeah, she said the same to me. But I've told her that if she feels overwhelmed, to switch out and let one of you take over."
"Think she'll be able to do it?" Mewtwo asked.
"I'm sure she can. Come on, we've got a gym battle to do." As we started to enter, someone called out to us.
"Hey, wait up!" I smiled, and turned towards the sound.
"Hey kiddo. Just in time, we were about to go challenge Koga." I said.
"Yeah, I'm here for the same reason, actually." Ash replied.
"Where are Brock and Misty?" I asked.
"They'll catch up shortly, I ran ahead. Melanie came and told us what was going on, a few minutes ago." He said.
"Alrighty, come on, then. Let's go get our battles done." We all headed inside. Koga was waiting on the field, for us.
"Ah, Mr. Ketchum, it's good to see you're OK." Koga said.
"Yeah, I'm still not sure why that even happened." Not actually true, but I do still need to keep my powers as secret as possible. Melanie stepped onto the field, with me, while the others stood back. For a little bit of extra preparation, Mewtwo set up a barrier, just to protect from any stray attacks.
[Ready, Mel?] I asked.
[As ready as I think I can be, yeah.] She stepped onto what would be her side of the battlefield, then took a slow breath. I tossed her an Empowerment Seed, just to be sure.
"I suppose I shouldn't have to ask if you're ready, or not." Koga said.
"No, we've waited long enough, and then there was that interruption we had. We're ready to get this out of the way." I said.
"Very well, then we shall begin." Koga sent out the first on his team of four, Weezing.
[Weezing]
[Level 4 (43)]
[Toxic]
[Sludge Bomb]
[Protect]
[Explosion]
[Watch out for Explosion, that one might be powerful enough to break through your Force Cloak.] I said.
[Thanks for the warning.] Melanie readied herself, air rippling around her as her defensive barrier came to life. Poison would normally be an issue, but her ability to heal herself means that won't be a problem. She has an advantage thanks to her Psychic Typing, but Fairy's going to also mean she has a pretty big weakness too.
In short, she can hit harder, but the enemy also hits hard against her.
"Opening with a Fairy Type? That's a bold move." Koga commented. "Even if your Gardevoir is a Psychic Type, she is still weak to Poison."
"We're well aware," I replied, "still, she's got her own tricks for handling that problem."
"We'll see. Weezing, Sludge Bomb." Koga's Weezing launched the first attack of battle. The air around Melanie rippled, catching the attack before it hit her, rendering it harmless.
"Oh? How interesting." I'd be surprised if Koga didn't catch Melanie's wince. More-so than usual, as we recently discovered that anything she's weak to, the barrier can't hold off as long.
"Toxic. If we can't hit her, then we can stall out this battle until it wears her down." As Weezing began to prepare to follow Koga's orders, Melanie acted faster. She gathered energy into her right hand, and then let loose a bolt of lightning. It didn't do much damage, but it did throw off Weezing's focus enough to interrupt his next move.
"Here's the thing about Melanie." I said, as she began to prepare a Firebolt in each of her hands, before casting them. Protect was enough to stop the first one, but it didn't stop the second. "She's a Mage, not just a Gardevoir. She's got attacks that'll let her handle any type, so long as she's careful about how much she puts into them."
"I see. That barrier of hers can't hold up forever though. Weezing, keep launching attacks at her, don't let up until that barrier breaks." And now it becomes a test of endurance. I see now, it's not just Melanie wanting to see how strong she is, but also…she's testing the limits of her main defensive ability.
She chose to begin dodging attacks on occasion, rather than just let them hit her barrier. I could see the wince every time. It also seems that her defensive ability actually slows her down when she's using it. If I had to guess, it's because she needs to focus on it, just enough to keep it up, and it's hard to do while moving quickly.
Speaking of moving quickly, she began to shed her weights, granting herself extra speed. The moment the last one came off, she charged. I wasn't expecting her to do that, either. Lightning began to gather into the palm of her right hand…I hope she knows what she's doing.
As she began to close in, Weezing began to glow, brighter and brighter. Uh oh…this is probably going to--
*BOOM!*
I winced, covering my ears and closing my eyes, to shield them from the noise and the dust, respectively. I know Melanie wanted to try and do this on her own, but this wasn't what I was expecting her to do. As the dust began to settle, pink light could be seen from within. Melanie looked winded, and had her arms outstretched to the side, her palms pointed outwards, and from them, a pink bubble had formed around her.
Weezing, as expected, was knocked out from Explosion. Koga returned him without a word, then sent out his second Pokemon.
[Muk]
[Level 4 (43)]
[Toxic]
[Sludge Bomb]
[Protect]
[Moonblast]
Melanie's new shield collapsed, and she sank to her knees. She was clearly winded, whatever that barrier was must've taken a lot out of her. That wasn't her normal one, I mean. It looked as though she had managed to use one similar to what Mewtwo's able to create. Which is pretty impressive, though I hope that she isn't forced to use it more than once.
Her hands gained a golden glow, and she placed them on her shoulders. Her health slowly began to rise.
"That light…Sludge Bomb. Don't give her any chance to heal." Koga ordered. Melanie was forced to dodge out of the way, but didn't stop trying to heal. I'm not surprised that Koga recognized it, after Melanie spent all that time healing so many people.
When she finally did stop, she began to prepare her counter attack, forming a large fireball in her hand before throwing it. Her aim was such that it hit the ground instead of her opponent, creating a pretty large smokescreen.
"You've been awfully quiet during this." Koga said to me. "Why is that?"
"Normally, my team does all the fighting on their own. They even make their own plans sometimes, and run the idea by me. If I see something that they haven't, then I use telepathy, rather than speak out loud." I explained.
"I see, so you let them battle on their own, without giving orders, as it'll let your opponents know what to expect. And you use telepathy when you do need to say something. That's a good strategy, actually. Though, you should be aware that your expression can give away what you're thinking. It can also give away when you're using telepathy or not." Koga said. That's good advice, actually. It's something I'll remember for the future.
There was the sound of lightning crackling from within the smoke, and then the sound of something being hit. As the dust finally settled, it was revealed that Melanie used it for cover to take her opponent out, while nobody could see her.
"Two down, two to go." I said. Melanie retreated to our side of the field. It's clear that this is already wearing her down. Especially after taking an Explosion at point-blank range.
"I can do this. Two more." She took a moment to catch her breath, while Koga switched in his third Pokemon.
[Golbat]
[Level 4(43]
[Toxic]
[Fly]
[Leech Life]
[Protect]
[Be careful, don't let this one get close to you if you can. Leech Life is listed in the moveset.] I warned her.
[Good to know, thanks.] The air around her rippled as her barrier came back to life.
"Fly, then hit with Leech Life when you're close enough. Watch out for that defense ability. If you go fast enough, you should be able to get through." Koga said. "And, watch out for the lightning that she has."
As Golbat began to build up speed, Melanie charged lightning into her right hand. She started by trying to cast it at a distance. Since it's a Golbat she's up against, her attacks were much, much closer to landing, than if it were a Crobat.
Even still, her opponent continued to dodge out of the way, using the movement of her arm to know when to dodge. Upon gaining enough speed, Golbat charged. Melanie caught the attack with her left arm, wincing as Golbat's fangs sank into her arm. Sparks began to arc across her arm, before intensifying suddenly, shocking her opponent. Golbat was forced to let go and retreat, narrowly avoiding Melanie's attempt to hit them with another attack.
"Hey Melanie, you're looking pretty worn out." Lexie said.
"I know, but I can keep going." Melanie replied.
"Yeah, but you don't need to go through four opponents. You're powerful, sure, but you're not an endurance fighter like Kaorah or Mewtwo. Take some rest and let one of us go." Lexie smiled. "Besides, I know you remember the lesson Mewtwo learned from trying something similar." I smiled when Melanie nodded.
"Yeah, you're right." Melanie signaled with her hands that she was gonna switch out. "That's what a team is for." She stepped off the field, and I pulled her into a hug when she got close.
"Good job, Mel. I'm proud of you." I didn't see her smiling, but I knew she was.
"Hey boss…mind if I have a go?" Lexie asked.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, I think it's about time I started participating."
"Alrighty, go for it." Lexie stepped onto the field, taking Melanie's spot. Melanie shifted so that she was standing next to me with her head rested on my shoulder.
"A Cinderace, huh? Well, that's certainly a rare one." Koga said.
"Oh yeah she is, especially with what she can do. She's a very special one, and until today, she wasn't active roster. But, I guess she is now." I replied.
"Very well then. Golbat, Toxic." Golbat spat a purple glob at Lexie, who crossed her arms in front of herself, preparing for impact.
"Is she not going to--"
"Libero!" The orange on Lexie's body changed, becoming a metallic gray color. The glob splattered when it hit her, and then dripped harmlessly onto the floor. She wasn't even fazed. "Try a little harder, buddy."
"What?!" Golbat was surprised.
"Interesting. I don't recall any Pokemon with such an ability." Koga commented.
"Libero, it's the hidden ability of her species. She can change types at will, though it is normally limited to her having to use a move." Lexie began to prepare a Pyro Ball, her colors fading as her type changed back to its natural state.
"I see. A very useful ability, then." Oh, it is. But, compared to what Silvally and Arceus have, especially with the Legend Plate in the latter's case, it's nothing.
"For sure. Lexie, go for it."
"Catch this!" She leapt into the air, before doing a spin and kicking the fireball at Golbat, far too quickly for her to even try to dodge it. The Pyroball was a bullseye, knocking out Lexie's target in a single hit. I guess I forgot about how strong she actually is. I guess her opponent also forgot about Protect, but since the stalling strategy wasn't going to work, I guess Golbat didn't think about it.
Perhaps we should do another all-out training battle, and let her join in on it. It'll be great to see how far everyone has progressed since our last one.
"Nice shot." Koga commented before I could speak. He returned Golbat, then sent out his last Pokemon.
"Thank you." Lexie responded, though Koga wouldn't understand it.
[Venomoth]
[Level 4(44)]
[Sludge Bomb]
[Protect]
[Psychic]
[Bug Buzz]
Venomoth definitely looked worried. I saw Misty wince out of the corner of my right eye, guess she and Brock caught up not long after the battle started. I guess the thing with her and bugs still holds true. Probably for the best that I not reveal Lexie's ability to change types, since Bug is on that list.
"Go for Psychic, your other moves won't work." Koga said. A good choice…however…
As Venomoth began to glow, Lexie suddenly vanished. When she reappeared, the orange on her body had turned black, and her white fur turned to a light gray. She punched her opponent, hard, long before Venomoth began to react to her sudden movement.
I guess that was Sucker Punch. Lexie then avoided an attempt to attack her just by sidestepping it.
"Too slow, bug boy." And, that seems an awful lot like Taunt. Well, there goes the ability to use Protect.
"Sludge Bomb. She's close enough that she can't dodge the explosion." Lexie changed to the Steel type to counter it, only to be thrown backwards by Psychic. That was a really smart move, actually.
"Oof, alright, I'll give you that one." Lexie landed on her feet, despite the extra weight from being a Steel Type. Her colors faded once more, returning to normal. I guess her type shifts only last for a set amount of time. We haven't trained with Libero, so I don't know if she's limited in any way, yet.
"Let's see if you can actually land a hit on a moving target. Go ahead, try." As Venomoth began to attack, Lexie began to evade, by jumping. She did a series of flips and spins while she was in the air, using each time she touched the ground to gain forward progress, while also causing her opponent to move away. I guess she's trying to back him into a corner by using…Acrobatics, now? The change of her colors to light blue sort of confirmed my guess.
"Your…Cinderace, seems to like to show off, a little bit." Koga commented.
"That she does. So long as she doesn't start showboating, she's fine." The fact she's using Acrobatics, is the main reason I'm fine with her showing off a little bit. That, and it's her first official battle, outside the dungeons.
When Lexie did close the distance finally, she hit hard, though not enough to knock her opponent out. Instead, she simply knocked him out of the ring, securing a victory through ring-out. Her colors faded back to normal as she began to calm down.
"Woo, that was fun. Thanks for letting me have a go." She said.
"No problem, and besides, you did say it was about time you started joining in."
"Yeah, next thing you know, we'll finally have a nickname for our bird boy." Lexie stretched, then stepped off the field. She's right actually, he's been part of the team for a good while now, second longest out of everyone actually, and still hasn't gotten his own name. It's mainly because I'm having a hard time figuring out one that works. I wanted to go for Uragan, after the Foehn Revolt Hero Unit of the same name, but I'm not sure enough people know who that is.
Anyways, let's not worry about that right now. Koga and I walked to the center of the field before shaking hands.
"That was a great match, Mr. Ketchum." Koga said.
"Yes, yes it was. If you'd like, I can have Melanie heal everyone. We discovered that healing Pokemon isn't as draining as healing a human is." I said.
"If you don't mind, I would appreciate it." I waved Melanie over as Koga sent his team back out. Melanie began to heal them, one by one, until they were all ready to go another round.
"Here's the Gym Badge, you've earned it." He handed me the Soul Badge, which I put away safely in my personal case. "Maybe your next battle won't have a sudden interruption."
"Here's hoping, but knowing what my team can wind up getting into, ya never know." I began to step off of the field, as Ash started to walk over. "Now then, you've got a second round today, I hope back to back battles isn't a problem." I said.
"No, not at all." Koga returned to his side of the field.
"Good luck, kiddo. I hope my battle gave you an idea of what to expect." I said.
"Sure did, are you gonna stay and watch?" He asked.
"Well, of course. Then we'll all go out for dinner. Actually, if she's up for it, I think Lexie can fix us something tonight."
"Oh, you wanna introduce them to the curry, huh? Sure thing, always glad to have someone try it for the first time." Lexie said. I smiled, then gave Ash a pat on the shoulder, before moving to join my team in the stands.
"Good job, Zeryph." Misty said as I climbed up.
"Indeed, though I can't say I've ever seen such a strategy before." Brock said. "Or a Pokemon like her." He was referring to Lexie.
"Sucker Punch is actually one of her species' Egg Moves." I said, "she was bred and raised specifically to be a high-level competitive fighter, not just a good Pokemon."
[Yeah, that's right.] Lexie's colors changed slightly, as she used the Psychic Type to communicate with them. [Gloria, my first trainer, really worked hard to get me to this point. And now, being on the team with Zeryph, and not having the same limitations as before, has made me even stronger.]
"Limitations? What limitations?" Misty asked.
"That's a long story, actually. And this isn't really the place to tell it anyways." I still haven't explained my powers in full, to her or Brock. At least…I don't think I have. "Tell ya what, when we're done with the gym badges, I'll give you two, and Ash, a full explanation of everything that I'm capable of, more than just what you've seen already." I told them.
"We'll hold you to that." Brock said.
"Yeah. So anyway, what about that ability of hers?" Misty asked.
"It's called Libero, and that's one of the limitations she doesn't have. Here, she can change type at will. Normally, it requires her to prepare a move to use before she can change." I explained. "Lexie, you can go ahead and explain it, since you know it much better than I do." While Lexie talked with them, I focused on my cousin's battle. Since he was already aware of Protect and Toxic, he knew to be careful to avoid the latter, while making sure that when his Pokemon hit, it was quickly enough that the former wouldn't be an issue.
At about half way through, Mewtwo suddenly frowned.
"Zeryph, incoming. It's--" There was an explosion of smoke, and a crashing sound as Team Rocket made their introduction, right on time. I though Giovanni had told them off. Well…it's more likely they weren't expecting me to be here. I interrupted their introduction with a slow clap.
"What wonderful timing." I said sarcastically. "Ya know, it would've been more effective, if you'd waited until after the battle, rather than interrupting. Kiddo's kinda in the middle of something, case you hadn't noticed."
"Mewtwo, would you kindly escort them out?" I asked.
"Gladly, I'll take care of this." He teleported onto the field before grabbing them with Psychic, and then teleporting away. He returned not long after, and motioned to continue.
"Well…that was over quickly." Misty said. "What did you do with them, this time?"
"I dropped them in the Viridian City Gym." I'm sure he actually dropped them in Giovanni's office, not the gym itself. "Still, it will be a while before we see them again."
[Yeah, especially if Giovanni gets onto them for messing with the group while we were present. Although, maybe not, since they didn't know we were here.] I said.
[I told him that I found some things that he lost before I dropped them off.] Mewtwo replied.
[He-he…well, if one group from our problem team is gonna mess with us, why not make it their boss's problem?] I asked.
[Exactly.] We returned our focus to the battle at hand. With the interference cleared up, the battle continued. Ash went on to win the battle, earning the Soul Badge for himself.
"Grats, kiddo." I said, after walking up beside him. We bumped fists, then turned towards the others as they walked up to us. "Now then, who's hungry? Lexie's gonna be cooking for us tonight, so we'll find some space and let her work." I said. Numerous growls met my ears, and we all shared a laugh over it.
After saying our farewells to Koga, we left the Gym. It didn't take too long for us to find a good spot to set everything up. Lexie and I started to work on preparations while the others found their own places to sit down.
"Normally, all of the present trainers get involved in the process when in a group. But since none of you, other than Brock, have the knowledge for this, you can just sit it out." I translated what Lexie said. Brock definitely does know how to cook, but I don't believe Galarian Curry is on the list of things he can make.
It took Lexie and I longer than normal, but in time we did eventually get food put together for everyone. It's actually about mid afternoon, now. I thought it would've been later, honestly. Granted, our dungeon run was early this morning, then I was out for two hours. Really should start to keep track of time more. This is getting off topic.
After preparing the food, we served a plate to everyone. Lexie had done Sausage Curry, the same as the first night she fixed it for us. My team and I dug in without a second thought, and it took longer for Ash and the others to start. But once they did, Lexie was given compliments by all of them.
"Hey boss, just so you're aware, we might have quite a bit extra. I didn't know how much to make exactly, given the extra people here." Lexie said.
"That's fine, we can give the rest to the folks in the City that need it right now." I said.
"You're really going to do that?" Ash asked.
"Sure am. We've helped out a bunch, already. Why not do a little more?" I asked in return. After we had all finished eating, I got some containers out and stored all of the leftover food into them. We then cleaned our stuff and packed up, before going to one of the tents to drop off the leftovers.
They were very appreciative of course, thanking us for all we've done to help out. Some of the people were sad to hear that we had to go. And in a surprise turn of events, the community was there at the north gate as we began to leave, having gone to see us off. When we left, not one of us left the city without a smile, or something similar to one, on our faces.
"You really must've done something good to get that many people to do something like that." Misty commented once we were on the road.
"Yeah, I'd be surprised if articles about it aren't published in the future." I said. "My team and I all but lead the efforts to help out after that freak storm came through. Because of us, a lot more people were saved, in a lot less time. Melanie spent most of her time working as a healer, while the others worked on rescuing people and aiding in the cleanup where we could."
"That's a really nice thing to do." Brock commented.
"Yes, yes it is. I'm sure a certain kingdom's going to get wind of it, no doubt." I said, more to myself than out loud.
"Kingdom?" Ash asked.
"Ah, don't worry about it. You'll find out eventually." I said. The Lucario Kingdom's not really meant to be known to Ash for quite a bit longer. Although, if a Lucario joins my team, that might be sooner than later.
"Well, we've got quite a bit of road ahead of us. Let's get going." Our next Gym won't be until Cinnabar. I find myself wondering if traveling with Ash is gonna let us experience some of the events between now and then. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. The fact we departed to the north means we'll be in the Safari Zone, soon, so there is that. And based on what I was told before, about the beach contest thing, events of banned episodes still happen.
We'll just see what comes up on the road to Cinnabar.
