# 0_0FGH ...
...Come.
# 0_1FGH ...
My lord N, we brought the one
you wanted.
# 0_2FGH N: VAR(48649, 1)Ah, yes.
That was the Shadow Triad, just now.
Ghetsis enlisted them in Team Plasma.
Apparently, they were the ones who
prepared the Galvantula nest\f
at the cave entrance.VAR(48649, 0)
# 0_3FGH N: VAR(48649, 1)Chargestone Cave...
I like this place.
Formulas express electricity and
its connection to Pokémon...
If people did not exist,
this would be an ideal place.
You have been chosen, you know.
Does it surprise you I said that?VAR(48649, 0)
# 0_4FGH VAR(48649, 1)Of course.
Such news should be a surprise.VAR(48649, 0)
# 0_5FGH VAR(48649, 1)Hmph.
If you don't understand what that
means, it's not likely to surprise you.VAR(48649, 0)
# 0_6FGH VAR(48649, 1)I told Ghetsis about you
and your friends.
After I did, he apparently used the
Shadow Triad to find out about you.
Cheren is pursuing the ideal of strength.
Poor Bianca has faced the sad truth that
not everyone can become stronger.
And you are not swayed either way--
more of a neutral presence.\f
Which is apparently a good thing.
Team Plasma will be waiting for you ahead.
Ghetsis wants to see what kind of
Pokémon Trainer you really are.VAR(48649, 0)
# 0_7FGH Heeey!
# 0_8FGH Guess what!
# 0_9FGH Bianca: VAR(256, 0), did you know this?
The floating stones move
when you touch them!
# 0_10FGH Right, Professor?
# 0_11FGH Professor Juniper: Hi there!
How are you, VAR(256, 0)?
# 0_12FGH This place is always charged with
lots of electricity that Pokémon like!
The electric charges react from one
stone to another, and that's why\f
some of the stones are floating!
But not all of the stones can be pushed.
# 0_13FGH My father asked me to research Klink,
which is a Pokémon that looks like a gear,\f
because I'm researching the origins\f
of Pokémon and the era they appeared.
He knows how to get what he wants from
people, but I was already interested in\f
this anyway, so it's a lot of fun!
Oh, yeah! VAR(256, 0), this is for you!
# 0_14FGH Professor Juniper: Giving that Lucky Egg
to a Pokémon to hold increases the\f
amount of Exp. Points received in\f
battle by a lot!
Having strong Pokémon will make
it easier to fill your Pokédex pages!
# 0_15FGH Professor Juniper: VAR(256, 0)!
Are you working on your Pokédex?
Keep encountering lots of Pokémon,
so you can keep filling in those pages!
# 0_16FGH Bianca: I'm the professor's bodyguard!
Well, that's probably not necessary, but
you have to protect important things!
# 0_17FGH Professor Juniper: Hi there!
Did you find something?
I think we're just about
done collecting data.
# 0_18FGH This cave has been around since the
distant past, but...
Data to prove that Klink existed more
than a hundred years ago can't be found.
So that must mean...
Klink suddenly appeared a hundred
years ago!
# 0_19FGH Where Pokémon came from
and where they are going...
If we can learn that, I believe
we can get along even better!
# 0_20FGH Bianca: Know what, VAR(256, 0)?
Pokémon are mysterious!
I wonder why these amazing
little guys stay by our sides.
# 0_21FGH Where Pokémon came from
and where they are going...
If we can learn that, I believe
we can get along even better!
# 0_22FGH Bianca: I plan on staying here
and catching Pokémon!\f
Traveling is about encounters, you know!
# 0_23FGH ...
...Come.
# 0_24FGH ...
There are stairs going down ahead.
Team Plasma is waiting for you there.
# 0_25FGH N: VAR(48649, 1)Many different values mix together,
and the world becomes gray...\f
That is unforgivable!
I will separate Pokémon and people, and
black and white will be clearly distinct!
Only then will Pokémon become
perfect beings!
Yes, that is my dream!
That is the dream I must fulfill!
VAR(256, 0), do you have a dream
of your own?VAR(48649, 0)
# 0_26FGH VAR(48649, 1)You have a dream...
That's wonderful.
I'll learn just what kind of dream
you have--in battle!VAR(48649, 0)
# 0_27FGH VAR(48649, 1)As if a person without a dream
could ever understand me!
Eh... I guess...
I have to crush your will here!VAR(48649, 0)
# 0_29FGH N: VAR(48649, 1)Tsk! Why?
Is it impossible for me to win while
feeling bad about being a Trainer?
As if I could pursue the truth with
something as meaningless as a battle!
As if that could make me worthy to become
friends with the legendary Pokémon!VAR(48649, 0)
# 0_30FGH N: VAR(48649, 1)Tsk! Why?
Is it impossible for me to win while
feeling bad about being a Trainer?
As if I could pursue my ideals with
something as meaningless as a battle!
As if that could make me worthy to become
friends with the legendary Pokémon!VAR(48649, 0)
# 0_31FGH Bianca: VAR(256, 0)!
# 0_32FGH Just a little further to Mistralton City!
# 0_33FGH Professor Juniper: Bianca,
you have good ears.
I can't believe you heard
VAR(256, 0)'s voice from that far away.
VAR(256, 0), who is this Trainer?
# 0_34FGH N: VAR(48649, 1)Professor Juniper,
what are you thinking?
You appear to have no qualms about the
relationship between Pokémon and people.
You put Pokémon into categories using
arbitrary rules and think you can\f
understand them like that...\f
The very idea of a Pokédex revolts me.
What do you have to say for yourself?VAR(48649, 0)
# 0_35FGH Professor Juniper: Oh, my.
Looks like you're not my biggest fan.
Your opinion is understandable.
It happens to be different from mine,\f
which is equally understandable.
How about if all people get to decide for
themselves how to relate to Pokémon?
# 0_36FGH N: VAR(48649, 1)You're saying I should just allow
people to think whatever they want and\f
treat Pokémon however they want,\f
no matter whether the Pokémon suffer?
I refuse to tolerate the existence
of a world like that!VAR(48649, 0)
# 0_37FGH Professor Juniper: Well, I didn't expect
him to change his mind right away.
But I hope he'll spend a little time
trying to understand how others feel.
# 0_38FGH Now, then...
I think I'll go collect a little more data.
For Pokémon and people to get
along better, we need to take steps\f
to learn more about them!
# 0_39FGH Bianca: Umm, VAR(256, 0)!
I'm gonna go with Professor Juniper
now 'cause I'm her bodyguard!
