Project Neo Flare

Part 2:

It's been about a week since Malva has discovered the AI that Lysandre made for this digital world he made. She tried her best to visit every day to just spend time and chat with Neo Flare is what she called him.

Malva didn't really hide that she had been working on something around the other elite four members and the champion Diantha. She would just brush them off and tell them that is was just that she pick up a hobby but Diantha didn't by it and asked if she could see this hobby that malva was doing. Malva knew that her closed friend would not believe her if it was just a small hobby.

"Why are we going to Lysandre's café? I thought you said you cleared it out?" Diantha asked Malva

Malva opens the door and they both walk down to a lower level of Lysandre's Lab.

"I was going to clear out but there was something down here I… I just don't want to give up on i guess."

Diantha looks at Malva concerned on what she was about to be shown. As they make there way down one by one the of the camera turned on to look and follow them as they walked. Malva grabs an earbud out of her pocket and puts it into her ear as they get into a medium sized room with a server rack and a smaller box near it.

"Hey Neo, you told me there was a 2nd Holo Dive headset where did you say it was at again?" Malva saying out loud.

She pulls out a pink and black headset out of a box on the floor..

"Thank you for the help Neo." Malva turns to Diantha with the headset in hand. "It's easier to explain if I show you want I've been doing this past week. This one was going to be my headset from Lysandre but he never gave it to me. I'll log in with his headset over there. All you need to do is plug it into your holo caster and put the headset on it well put though a set up you trainer and after you should be able login. I'll meet you where you spawn in."

Diantha took the headset and trusted Malva knew what she was talking about and puts the headset on.

Malva joins in a waits for Diantha to join in, It doesn't take her long till Diantha's trainer avatar loads in. Diantha opens her eyes for the first time to see Malva welcome her in with a taller person behind her.

"Is that Lysandre?" "No, this is Neo Flare I know he looks like Lysandre but it's not him. Neo this is…" "Welcome Diantha to Lumiose City or a digital version of it ."

Diantha shots a glare at Malva for a bit before getting a replay from Malva.

"He can read your Trainer ID Name. He doesn't have any of Lysandre memories,"

"So, this is why you've been a good mood this past week. Neo, What do you do here?"

"I'm the systems AI made to keep this world safe."

Diantha looking closely at Neo for a bit till he doesn't know what she is doing a pats her on the top of her head.

"What? How did you… Your able to touch people?"

Diantha panics and logout after Neo did that. Malva follows her.

"What was that about?" Malva asks after taking the headset off to see Diantha now next to the server with a pokeball in her hands pointing at the server.

"You know we have to destroy this thing. He made this thing." Diantha screams at Malva but looks down to her pokeball clicking the button but nothing. Neo once more using a nearby panel to show himself telling her " I can't let you do that. This is my home after all." Neo backs up as Diantha swings at him like if she could hit him but he just a hologram.

"I'm not trying to fight you. Malva just wanted to share that world with you and this is how your going to act."

"Why do you keep coming back? Why can't you get the hint and say gone?" Diantha storms off with Malva not too far behind. Not before telling Neo they well talk a bit later.

Neo stands there for a bit before walking over to a nearby table with photos on it. Neo tries to pick one up but can't. It has 4 people in the photo Lysandre, Sycamore, Malva and Diantha they look happy.

Neo goes back to his server to wait for Malva's return. She doesn't come back for a few days. To explain it wasn't something he had done but more what his creator did.

Neo Flare meets Sycamore and plays a prank on Malva.

Storyline:

Part 1:

Lysandre Lab created the holo caster and a few other projects that never got completed or released to the public. Malva got the job of helping clean out some of the stuff from Lysandre's Lab equipment to find something that has been running all this time that Lysandre's been gone. This was a big server with a smaller box next to it with a blue glow to it as she went down to look where it was plugged in the camera in the lab moved a bit to look at Malva and a voice came out of the smaller box asking her if she was looking for something. Malva falls back in shock looking around where that voice came from. I'll ask again. "Do you need something, young lady?" Nearby a panel on the wall glows blue and a figure of a tall man now looking down at Malva on the floor. "Can you hear me or well I need to close captions?"

Malva now looking up at the hologram. No way how the hell are you? know you would have called me by my name... You are not Lysandre are you? Well, I'm just here to get rid of whatever is left of this old lab. The man has long hair pulled up into a ponytail and looks at the Malva with his arms crossed. "I don't know who I am my creator never gave me a name and about turning off that server there is no way you can fully turn it off without having admin controls." Malva did not listen to what he had to say and just got behind the server looking for the power source to find nothing. She walks back to the front. Of course, that hard-headed fool didn't make a shut-off that would be easy. "what do I have to do to turn this thing off then?"

"That headset over there you'll need to put it on and join in a find me in the city. I'll see you inside."

Malva now holding a headset that has orange hairs in the band of the headset. It was clear that Lysandre used this to do just what Malva was about to do. "it'll just be for a bit." Malva puts the headset on. In no time at all she is teleported to a different world it seemed at 1st but it was a copy of Lumiose City with a few small details that were missing that was understandable because if lysandre updated this copy when he was alive and he's been got for a few years now. As she walks down the road she can see someone standing outside looking at Prism Tower.

"I didn't really hide from you sorry about that. I guess you would like to know what this place is. This is Project Neo Flare at least that was what my creator called it. He hasn't been here for years now. I really haven't had anything to do all this time. I did have some fun with the weird guy in red he was looking for something and scared him off. He called me that name you said before for Lysandre. I don't know who that is but I can see your trainer ID is Malva welcome to this digital world."

Malva runs her hand along a nearby building it feels like the real thing. "Lysandre was who owned this lab and was who created this world... Wait how do you not know who Lysandre was? What was your creator's trainer ID?" The man looks confused for a bit at Malva. "I had to delete my creator's profile to let you use the headset he once used. I can look in my file backups if you want to know my creator's trainer ID?" A window pops up before Malva that asks a yes or no question. She clicks no. "I'm not here for this... I'm here to close down the server... You look so much like him and no at the same time." The man looks sad for a moment before giving her the prompt to pick if she will destroy or protect.

"I have no say in what you pick but this has been my home for as long as was created. My creator told me he wanted to show more people this place he created. It went from joy of what he created to anger saying that people would never understand his vision of this place. I talked to him but I knew my words would never reach him because I was just a program that he created to keep this place in working order."

Malva gives out a big sigh and presses protect. "I don't know why I'm doing this but don't make me regret this... You said you didn't have a name?" He looks away from Malva for a bit to look back at her with hope. "Yes, he never named me."

"Hmmm... Project Neo Flare... Neo Flare"

He looks happy when she says Neo Flare.

"That's it your name will be Neo Flare"
