fifth bubble; video/action for ecruteak.

[ Aradia's sitting at a table with a sizeable stack of books and her binder opened to red-inked notes that can't be read clearly on the screen. She's got the pokegear propped up against something, and she smiles absently, clearly ordering her thoughts. ]

Hello! This is Aradia. I've been doing some reading - well, I suppose it's rather a lot of reading? - about the legends of this place. Jade, thank you again for that book! I actually read a reference to it there, and then it took me a little while to locate other mentions of the topic - it's been nearly two weeks? - because I suppose I'm really in the wrong region for this, but -

Hm. I'm rambling. Anyway! Here's a story that some of you might find interesting.

A long time ago, there was a pokémon known as Regigigas. It seems to be part of a creation myth, like a few others - the task Regigigas completed was pulling the continents into place. When it had completed that task, it created three golems in its image: one from an icy mountain, one from rocks, and from one magma. Regice, Regirock, and Registeel. For a time they were worshiped by the people of the land, but this would not last. They were so powerful that the people grew afraid, and took action.

Using magic they sealed away the master of the golems, Regigigas. The three golems it had created were spirited away to a new land, for if they were to come together Regigigas could rise again, and the people of that land feared that would mean endless destruction. The golems were all sealed away, their locations lost or forgotten.

[ Aradia falls silent for a minute or two, making a note in her binder, before looking back up. ] I'll admit it isn't exactly overflowing with details, but I thought I'd share anyway. The legend itself is apparently native to a place called Hoenn. "We built this" - that was in the translations they released. I wonder what it refers to in specific? The placement of the continents? This world's civilization? I really want to go to Blackthorn sometime soon to see for myself! Oh, and the rest, if you weren't following the news, I guess: "Man ends, pokémon ends, everything ends. New worlds inherit new dreams." We've certainly got worlds aplenty represented here, anyway.

This place does have something of a knack for cryptic messages, though. "Our words shall remain here for the ages. Thus we shall erect a pokémon statue outside. They possess great insight and refuse the outside world. We humans must learn to walk in harmony with them. We depart for their sakes."

I wonder how many more of these little messages are hidden around the realm. I suppose we'll just have to find out! At least reading about this makes it easier to know what to keep an eye out for when we're exploring! Although reading about all of this also makes my "to see" list absurdly long, so maybe I ought to stop until I've caught up with that.

The ghosts showed up the month before that, as a matter of fact. At the time, only one song kept playing everywhere, and it sounded both distorted and wrong. Everything was made from squares- pixels, Squall called them- and I could practically count the number of colors in a town on both of my hands. The locals, human and Pokémon both, suddenly lost all traces of self-awareness and personality. All of that came after two weeks of stale air and unchanging weather. It was a rather alarming moth.

A lot of people have been saying that there are videogames in their worlds based on Kanto. But even so, no one expected that to happen.

Hmm.. I suppose we'll just see when he grows up!

Is that so? How interesting. This is the second time I've found myself visiting another world, but it's the first that is linked to one of these videogames. ...Unless you count mine, according to a young man.

That young man saw parts of my life through one of those games. The less pleasant ones, of course. I suspect many worlds are linked in such a manner.

Only a few weeks or months of it, from what I could tell. Someone might have seen your life, but they certainly would not know everything about you.

Hoo hoo, a little bit, but I don't think it needs to be linear! [Oh boy, now that's going to be a fight she's sorry to miss.]

Oh goodness, that should be wonderful fun! Just be careful, ghost types are weak to each other!

[Dirk shows up as she finishes making the recording.]

Sounds interesting. Think you could lend me the books?

D--> Given the recent events, I would not doubt the beasts' ability to shift continents if they had a mind to
D--> Particularly considering how STRONG even the smaller Pokebeasts may be

That it is. Frankly, when he first mentioned it I was rather embarrassed.

[...Wait.]
Those things we saw were some sort of gods, then?
