Look, Elias, we can't keep this going. You've spent the last day and a half ignoring me, and while I'd normally be delighted with that development, it's clearly not good for anyone in the long run.
As much as a loathe to admit it, you're...the only thing I have left from before. The Tundra's gone, my purpose is gone, the Lonely, everything. And well. I'm a bit scared. Ironic, I know. Vasal of a dread entity, someone who has drank and basked in the fear of so many people, lived their entire life dedicated to fear. Yet here I am. Scared of loosing the one thingāno person, I have left.
I've spent so long dedicated to the Beholding, so long basing my every action around it and now, now it's gone. I haven't done anything outside of the Institute, so there's nothing left once I've had that taken from me.
I simply don't know how to move forward.
Elias, I'm...not sure how to properly respond to that.
Which isn't a problem for me. I believe it was simply a matter I had to get off of my chest.
So, did you manage to come up with anything we can do? I doubt things will change for us even relatively soon.
Well...I did find something. Though I'm not sure how much you'll enjoy it.
In this situation, I'd rather do something less than enjoyable than nothing at all.
Alright then. So, you do know of how people in this place befriend the native creatures known as 'PokƩmon'?
It turns out that some people then pursue various adventures with their companions. There's an island challenge, where you travel from island to island to complete these trials. And an application on our new phones called a 'PokƩdex', which enables a person to record and input data on the various species within a region.
You've done quite a bit of research on this, I'm rather impressed.
I didn't really have anything else to occupy my time with.
Still. Anyhow, I do believe this journey of ours could prove to be a positive experience for both of us. How do we begin?
From what I've read, we're going to have to meet a 'professor of the region' in order to receive our 'starter PokƩmon'.
Then it would be in our best interest to get going to find them. Shall we?
