# 0_0 Professor Juniper: Hi there, VAR(256, 0)!
# 0_1 Bianca: Hee hee!
I used Fly, so it looks like
I beat you here.
Thanks for your help
in Reversal Mountain!
# 0_2 Professor Juniper: If you go straight
past Lacunosa Town, you'll reach\f
Opelucid City!
But before you go, there's something
I want you two to hear.
# 0_3 Bianca: What is it?
# 0_4 Professor Juniper: You'll know soon
enough. Hurry now!
# 0_5 You must be the ones who want to hear
that old tale about Lacunosa Town.
# 0_6 Professor Juniper: That's right.
Please tell us.
# 0_7 All right, my dearies.
Please come in.
# 0_8 Professor Juniper: This is the place!
# 0_9 Professor Juniper: Wasn't that
an interesting folktale?
The Pokémon's true identity may be
unknown, but the power mentioned\f
in the story is incredible!
# 0_10 Bianca: I know...
The power to freeze everything around it
could even rival the power of the\f
legendary Dragon-type Pokémon.
# 0_11 Yes, Bianca.
It's almost like Zekrom, who scorched
Unova with intense lightning long ago.
# 0_12 Yes, Bianca.
It's almost like Reshiram, who scorched
Unova with blazing fire long ago.
# 0_13 By the way, VAR(256, 0),
do you remember the story of Zekrom?
# 0_14 By the way, VAR(256, 0),
do you remember the story of Reshiram?
# 0_15 I told you a little about it in
Lentimas Town, remember?
Zekrom is a legendary Dragon-type
Pokémon that lends its power to the\f
person it recognizes as a hero\f
pursuing ideals.
It has a black body, and it can
unleash fearsome lightning!
# 0_16 Oh, VAR(256, 0)...
I even told you a little about
it in Lentimas Town.
Zekrom is a legendary Dragon-type
Pokémon that lends its power to the\f
person it recognizes as a hero\f

# 0_17 So you remember I told you a little
about it in Lentimas Town!
Reshiram is a legendary Dragon-type
Pokémon that lends its power to the\f
person it recognizes as a hero who\f
seeks truth.
It has a white body, and it can send
forth ferocious flames!
# 0_18 Oh, VAR(256, 0)...

Pokémon that lends its power to the\f

# 0_19 Bianca: Professor, do you think
there's a connection between\f
the Pokémon from the old story\f
and the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon?
# 0_20 Professor Juniper: The meteorite.
# 0_21 Bianca: The meteorite?
# 0_22 Zekrom was revived from a
rock called the Dark Stone.
Let's suppose the meteorite
from the story and this stone\f
are one and the same...
Take into account that elements
from the same era were found in\f
Dragonspiral Tower, where Zekrom was,\f
and in the Giant Chasm...
It doesn't prove anything, but it
could be a piece of the puzzle.
Let's not write it off as a
coincidence just yet...
# 0_23 Reshiram was revived from a
rock called the Light Stone.
Let's suppose the meteorite
from the story and this stone\f
are one and the same...
Take into account that elements
from the same era were found in\f
Dragonspiral Tower, where Reshiram was,\f
and in the Giant Chasm...
It doesn't prove anything, but it
could be a piece of the puzzle.
Let's not write it off as a
coincidence just yet...
# 0_24 Bianca: If your theories are true,
it should be a really strong Pokémon.
What kind of a reason would there be
for it to come out only at night?
Like, if, like, it doesn't like sunlight
or something like that...
# 0_25 Until we look into it more deeply, it would
be hard to say anything about that.
Now that I think about it, the name
“Lacunosa" could be derived from\f
lacunosus clouds, which are clouds\f
that resemble a net or a fence.
I wonder if the name is related to
the part of the story where they\f
built walls to protect the town\f
from that Pokémon.
# 0_26 Sorry, I rambled on a bit, didn't I?
VAR(256, 0), could you ask Drayden
about this, if you get a chance?
I'm going to do a little fieldwork.
Bianca, help out, OK!
# 0_27 Bianca: Sure thing!
# 0_28 Oh, just so you know, Opelucid City's
mayor, Drayden, wrestles with his\f
Pokémon to toughen them up!
# 0_29 Professor Juniper, wait up!
# 0_30 VAR(256, 1): What's up?
Have you seen Team Plasma
anywhere around here?\f
I heard a rumor to that effect...
# 0_31 Zinzolin: Oh, for crying out loud...
This is troublesome indeed,\f
my curious Trainers.
Perhaps I should satiate
your curiosity somewhat.
The reason I am still part
of Team Plasma is this:
I want to know how the world will change.
Listen. Pokémon are nature.
Poké Balls are civilization.
Humans who are used to civilization
don't relinquish it easily.
Of course, both nature and
civilization are important.
But what will happen to a world
taken over by Team Plasma?
People will be forced to throw out
Poké Balls--a product of civilization.
I want to know what that looks like!
And I want to enjoy it!
# 0_32 VAR(256, 1): Shut your mouth.
All I want is to get back
a stolen Pokémon!
VAR(256, 0)! Give me a hand!
You ready?
# 0_33 VAR(256, 1): Just to let you know...
You're about to feel my rage!
# 0_34 VAR(256, 1): Got it!
Go get ready and then come back here!
Being careful against opponents
like these isn't a bad thing!
# 0_35 VAR(256, 1): Are you ready to pitch in?
OK, let's go!
# 0_36 Team Plasma: What's with these two?
I'm battling alongside Zinzolin!\f
This shouldn't be happening!
# 0_37 Zinzolin: These Trainers remind me
of that one from two years ago.
More important, we must continue
our search.
Like that scientist said,
it might be in Opelucid City!
We'll play with you again later!
# 0_38 VAR(256, 1): Get back here!
# 0_39 Do you want to hear that old tale
of Lacunosa Town again?
It always takes me a little time
to tell it.
# 0_40 There's a great big hole behind
this town.
A long time ago, a huge meteorite fell
from the sky and made the big hole.
A very scary monster was hiding
inside the meteorite!
People say the monster appeared in the
village at night, with a freezing wind,\f
and it stole away people and Pokémon...
So the villagers built big walls to keep
the monster out and made a rule that\f
no one could go out after dark.
# 0_41 Whether you believe it or not
is up to you...
But even now, the people of this town
stay inside after dark.
The old stories and legends
continue to influence our lives.
# 0_42 Oh, fine, fine.
Come back again when you have time.
# 0_43 Welcome to Lacunosa Town.
In this town, people live as methodically
as clockwork from morning to night.
If you live your life soaking up sunlight,
you can sleep very well at night.
# 0_44 Lacunosa Town
Methodical and Orderly for Safety
# 0_45 The big scary monster that
comes out at night is\f
a Pokémon, right?
It must be a really scary Pokémon
if everyone believes the legend\f
and follows these rules...
# 0_46 My granny loves old stories!
I'm always having to listen
to her really, really long stories.
# 0_47 My grandma's stories were
really about Kyurem, it seems.
I guess old stories sometimes
have a kernel of truth to them.
# 0_48 There are a lot of people in the world,
and there are just as many different\f
characteristics and ideas.
# 0_49 I don't have anything to do ever since
I took a post here.
Since nobody goes outside at night,
it's very peaceful.
# 0_50 So the reason nobody goes outside
at night and it's so peaceful\f
is because of a Pokémon?\f
I don't know how to feel about that!
# 0_51 Gahoo! Gahoo!
# 0_52 My Pokémon just runs around on its own.
Maybe it doesn't need a Trainer?
