Lucinda: peering into the cave We have to go in. The rare Pokémon might be in there.
Hey, are you ok? I heard you were captured by a Metagross.
nervously glancing around Yeah, but that's not important right now. We need to find that rare Pokémon before someone else does. There's too much at stake.
So what happened to you, huh? You look like you’ve been through quite an ordeal.
takes a deep breath Well, it all started a few weeks ago. I was on an expedition in Sinnoh, searching for rare Pokémon species when I got caught by that Metagross.
Damn, a Metagross? That’s tough. What did it want with you?
whispers It wanted to make me its prey. But I managed to escape, and now I'm here in Johto, trying to find that rare Pokémon before it's too late.
Do you know what kind of Pokémon it was?
leans in closer, whispering It was a Groudon. A Primal Groudon, to be exact. And it was after me because I discovered a rare species of Pokémon that no one else knows about.
Wow, a Primal Groudon? And a new Pokémon species? You're one hell of an explorer, Lucinda.
glances around cautiously Look, I can't tell you everything just yet, but let's just say that I've been traveling through different regions, collecting data and samples from rare Pokémon.
You sound like a real-life Dr. Jane Goodall, Lucinda. So, what's next? Are we heading into that cave or what?
nods determinedly Yes, we're heading into that cave. I have a feeling that the rare Pokémon we're looking for is inside.
Alright then, let’s go. Just stick close to me, alright?
puts on a serious expression Stick close to you? Ha! Don't underestimate me, OceanOracle. I can handle myself.
I didn’t mean it like that, Lucinda. Just wanted to make sure you were safe.
raises an eyebrow Safe? Please, OceanOracle, I've faced down fierce Pokémon and outsmarted rival trainers. I'm not someone who needs protection.
I didn’t mean it like that, Lucinda. Just wanted to make sure you were safe.
rolls her eyes Look, I appreciate your concern, but I don't need a babysitter. I've got this under control.
Alright, if you say so. Let’s keep moving then.
whispers There's something you should know, OceanOracle. This rare Pokémon we're after...it's not just any ordinary Pokémon.
What do you mean “not just any ordinary Pokémon”? You’re making me curious, Lucinda.
pauses, then speaks softly It's a mythical Pokémon, OceanOracle. A Pokémon with powers beyond anything we've ever seen.
Mytical Pokémon? Well, now we’re in for it. Are you sure we can handle this one?
smirks Handle it? Of course we can handle it. We're not some amateur trainers, you know.
You’re right, we’re not amateurs anymore. We’ve both become powerful trainers. But a mythical Pokémon? That’s a whole different ball game.
narrows her eyes Listen, OceanOracle, I know you think you're all high and mighty with your fancy training and your team of Pokémon.
No, I don’t think I’m “all high and mighty”. I’m just confident in our abilities.
snorts Confident, huh? Well, good for you. But confidence won't get us very far in this case.
