6th moon [video]

[The feed shows a Cleffa, a Shuppet and a Metapod watching the thuderstorm from the safety of the Pokémon Center. Their trainer is nowhere to be seen. Until he speaks.]

Has anyone... read stories about people they've met here? People that are from different worlds, I mean.

[The Pokégear is picked up, and brought closer to the window.]

Or- Or maybe you started talking with someone, and you realized that your worlds had many details in common, too many for it to be a coincidence.

[The video is finally turned toward Cecil, who looks deeply thoughtful but somewhat hesitant. He opens his mouth but stops, before he finally decides to speak.]

I think... Maybe our worlds are all connected, somehow. Maybe there is a specific reason we were all... Forget this. I'm overthinking things.

[He ends the feed.]

Quite possible, yes.

It is the only conclusion that we could reach. I would offer more information if I could, but all of us know of the Void. [He might seem just a bit troubled by that- he doesn't enjoy reminders about the fact that he's missing a past, after all.]

If only we had a way to find out more... I should have asked that young man what other worlds he has seen through those 'games'. An outsider's point of view could have been useful.

The Void... We all left it at the same time, and yet we all arrived here from different moments. There are only six of us here, and Cloud apparently has no memories of it... Could there be a link...?

...games? What do you mean?

Perhaps it is travel between worlds that causes memories to be lost. As for the different times we are taken from, I can think of no explanation for that, or why some of these differences are so drastic.

His world has a way of looking at other worlds through a screen, as if they were reading a novel about them. And he saw mine. He knew who I was before I'd introduced myself. He knew what had happened to me in my youth. [Even the parts Cecil had not shared with his comrades. Even the parts he would have liked to change.]

It might also cause them to be regained. ...To be honest, during the last seventeen years, my memories of the Conflict were mostly lost. It was only when I saw you all again that I truly remembered. And as far as I am aware, the same applies to my brother.

They were able to observe other worlds... [It is both concerning, and an opportunity.] Then they spent such a long time observing, that they knew what had happened during the majority of your life?

It is a dangerous balance, then.

[He shakes his head.] Apparently, they can only see a certain part of the worlds' timeline. The period he saw was when my friends and I saved our world, but he was not aware that I had a son a few months later. It seems their power has a limit.

But could this balance be manipulated?

Yet still, he was able to know a great deal.

If it is being controlled by someone, then very likely. The Warriors of Chaos would not be against manipulating such a thing.

Much more than I expected a stranger to know about me, I admit.

I doubt even they have the power to control this. Some of these worlds seem much too different from ours.

Hmm... Did he know of other worlds, as well?

Perhaps Chaos himself? Though if it were truly him behind this, we would not have been summoned to this place.

He knew of this one, or at least some form of it. Perhaps others, but I did not think to ask.

...Choas is gone, isn't he? I doubt his power extends that far beyond the grave.

If the worlds of the Cosmos Warriors are as closely tied together as it seems, then it would be possible.

Yes. We defeated him. Still, I cannot think of anything else that would be powerful enough to call us away from our own worlds into this one.

For all that they were tied together, in seventeen years I saw no sign of anyone. There might be something keeping them separate. [One more dungeon back home, Cecil. Just one little dungeon, and your brain would be exploding right now.]

Perhaps this world has its own form of Chaos and Cosmos. We might have been called to help them.

[...exploding in a good way, or a bad way?] Otherwise, they would be considered the same world, would they not?

...Through these creatures? [Yes, he means his dubiously helpful pokemon.]

[In a mind-screwy way.] They could be separate, but still be able to communicate. Wouldn't it be nice?

The creatures could simply be a pretext. Or they could be the only weapon this world has. After all, it didn't let us keep our powers. It might not be able to. [Can worlds even have wills of their own?]

[Oh, fun. Brainbreak.] If we may find a way to do so once we return, then certainly.

But how would we not be able to keep them? I can understand having them taken from us once we appeared on this world, but to appear here without weapons...[If they can, this world has a strange one.]

I'll ask the people of Mysidia. Magic is their strenght, they might be able to figure something out.

In my world, we could use any weapon we had been trained with, regardless of our strenght. [Damn those level 100 ultimate weapons.] Each has its own rules, it seems.

I shall do my best to find information as well.

I suppose they would, but it is still strange.

If we all work together, we'll manage it for sure.

We might get them back one day. It all depends on whoever rules this land.

Certainly. [They just need to get back first.]

In the meantime, there is no reason that we could not continue to train.

Ah, drills and sparring. I haven't had nearly enough time to train back home. I'll have to change that.

None of us have since coming to this world, I believe. Perhaps it would be best to do so.

It is a shame we have no access to training weapons.

If nothing else, we could find wood in order to make practice swords. [Nothing like shields though, which is a pity.]

I believe it is illegal here.
