Q1. Today, we'll be exploring the game Explorers of Sky together! In the second of these two odysseys, I'll be traversing the game from where we left off until the end as Tori, asking questions along the way. Information of that last hunt is readily available right here: (TBD). To make sure you have it open, what was the final recruit team Scavengers gained last time? Tauros
Q2. When we last left our duo, they had just discussed Tori's backsTori with Dusknoir. Bidoof suddenly shows up: All apprentices must report to the guild right now! Another Time Gear was stolen and unfortunately, it's from fogbound Lake. Thankfully, Uxie, now in Magnezone's care, was capable of providing an identity of the Time Gear thief. His name: Grovyle. A certain Pokémon has been spreading the wanted poster around, and many of them could have been seen flying above the sea a while back. Which species of Pokémon is responsible for all kinds of mail in the Mystery Dungeon series up to this point? Pelipper
Q3. A YOOMTAH! echoes through the guild: Wigglytuff vows to apprehend Grovyle. He, Chatot and Dusknoir go downstairs to form a strategy to find the remaining time gears before Grovyle does, to secure the location before he can do any harm. Three locations are mentioned, and team Scavengers set out for one of them. Dusknoir warns them of the many sandstorms that terrorise the area. Which location are they headed? Northern Desert
Q4. Deep within the Desert, only quicksand remains. It appears to be a dead end, though Tori once again has this déjà vu feeling like at the Foggy Forest. It is ignored for now and the team heads back, joined by their newly recruited Cubone. Back at the guild, all teams appear to have been unsuccessful. Bidoof got a nice memento from Crystal Cave though. Let's take a rest for the night and start fresh tomorrow. the night turns to day again, and team Scavengers obviously go somewhere different today right? Well... considering that hunch yesterday, Tori can't help but think they should go back. Tori marches on and Riolu follows hesitantly. Once there, the double dive head first into the quicksand. Wouldn't you know it, there is indeed a cave there! Groovy music kicks in, and they spot a Pokémon that they also saw in the desert above. Which Pokémon? Sandshrew
Q5. Mawile was impressed by Riolu's tenacity, and subsequently joined the team. At the end of Quicksand cave lies the underground lake. The same glow they saw light up Fogbound Lake appears in the middle of the water. Another Time Gear! "Let's go take a closer look at it"... These words set off the lurking Mesprit. It was warned by Uxie and charges for the quartet of would-be thieves. A few spores later, Mesprit falls, but still tries to protect the treasure. Then... Grovyle appears! Like a thief in the night, he takes out all five Pokémon present, and swims for the treasure down below. Awakened by the tremors caused by Grovyle's looting, everyone makes a run for it while time begins to freeze around them. Grovyle now has four Time Gears. Knowing the place where the last one is, from which four locations did Grovyle get a Time Gear thus far? List alphabetically. Fogbound Lake, Limestone Cavern, Treeshroud Forest, Underground Lake
Q6. We need a lead for the final Time Gear, and although the others' searches have been a dud, there might be one. Using Bidoof's newfound treasure, Dusknoir and Tori manage to invoke a Dimensional Scream: A scene plays inside the Totodile's mind: Azelf against Grovyle... and Azelf's down! The guild makes haste towards the location, Team Scavengers once again in the lead. After a Cranidos was invited back to the guild as a recruit, right before the end of the dungeon, Tauros, Paras, Riolu and Tori enter a monster house! What Pokémon could be there? List alphabetically. Donphan, Golem, Shieldon, Wormadam-Sandy; Donphan, Golem, Shieldon, Wormadam
Q7. A few Water Guns and Force Palms later, Tori and her team go up the final stairs, and find three huge crystals: a purple one at the top, a red one to the left, and a yellow one to the right. Tori once again feels a familiarity as Riolu touches the top crystal. Its color changed to orange! The left one changes color too, from red to green. Tori touches the right one twice, and it changes from yellow to blue, to red. Another Dimensional Scream! "I see. Of the three spiritual elements of knowledge, emotion and willpower, Azelf is the Being of Willpower. Willpower is the motivation that drives us. It's a unifying power. [The question remains:] what is the color of Azelf's spirit?" She gives the words some thought... "That's it!" Tori begins to change the color of the crystals. What color does she change the three to? List the colors in the order mentioned before. Blue, Blue, Blue
Q8. Huge tremors begin... and a gigantic blue crystal erupts from the center of the three crystals, with a huge opening in the middle! The team quickly enters. Crossing through the crystals, a Bagon was impressed by Tori's puzzle solving skills and wishes to join. Deep inside, Crystal Lake emerges. And right there, on the island in the center of it all, plays that vision once again: Azelf defeated by Grovyle. The foursome quickly rush over to protect the Time Gear. Tori hits with Scary Face, and tries to follow up with an Ice Fang. Mere moments later, only a speechless Riolu stood between the defeated lake dweller and the mostly unharmed thief. As Grovyle wants to lay the finishing blow, Dusknoir returns and quickly knocks him back. And what's more, the two seem to know each other. Maybe it's from their IQ groups? Of the 7 Pokémon present in the scene right now, which two share an IQ group? List alphabetically. Riolu Tauros
Q9. The next day, Dusknoir is at the main square, intending to explain it all. According to Dusknoir, Grovyle is a notorious criminal that came here from the future. To avoid capture, he fled to the past, set on collecting all the Time Gears to cause the planet's paralysis. Dusknoir knows this all, because he, too, is a Pokémon from the future. Now, Tori and Riolu, along with the rest of the Pokémon present, have gained a new goal: spread the rumor of Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf sealing away the Time Gear. A special episode unlocks afterwards! What is the reward for completing said special episode? Sun Scarf
Q10. A few days pass for our heroes. They take some time to resolve some help requests and capture some outlaws. 3 of these, all S-level, are done in Amp Plains, one of which had an egg as a reward! Another 5 are done in Foggy Forest, all but one of them A-level, with the last B-level. During their escapades, a Mareep, Zigzagoon and Cherubi joined. How many points has team Scavengers earned now, and what rank are they? List in that order. 1580, Silver;1580, Silver rank
Q11. Dusknoir was successful in the capture of Grovyle. He has been roped and muzzled, to make sure he cannot try anything to wiggle his way out of this. With that, it is time to say goodbye. "Oh, yes." Dusknoir exclaims, right before he's about to travel back. He wants to see Tori and Riolu. The twosome thank the Ghost-type for all of his help and bid their last farewells. "Well. This is goodbye... or is it?" "Wait, wha-" "It's too soon for farewells! You two are coming with me!" With that, Dusknoir grabs team Scavengers and hauls them with him into the future. What is the name of the time travelling device that Tori and Riolu were just dragged into? Dimensional Hole
Q12. "Those who seek to alter the course of history must be removed from history." Tori is woken up by Riolu's shaking her. They just travelled to the future, and are unsure of what to do. Right then, four Pokémon walk in. and bring them to an empty room. There, the double is bound to two stakes. On a third stake, Grovyle can be seen equally tied up. "They plan to get rid of us for good." He says. Tori and Riolu are unsure as to why they are set next to Grovyle, They haven't done anything wrong after all! Then, Dusknoir walks in with his six Sableye underlings. The sextuplet are closing in for the kill with their sharp claws. What move does Grovyle hope they use? Fury Swipes
Q13. Grovyle was correct, and the rope gets cut. The triple attacks and makes a run for it! Once they get outside, they see floating boulders, horrible darkness. All movement has stopped... not even the wind blows. They keep running and Grovyle eventually separates due to an argument between him and Riolu. He knows that Grovyle is the bad guy, and Dusknoir has to be the good guy. Even though it doesn't align with his actions. After a quick rest, Team Scavengers continue through three dungeons to try and catch up. What are these three dungeons? List them chronologically, the first traversed dungeon first. Chasm Cave, Dark Hill, Sealed Ruins; Chasm Cave, Dark Hill, Sealed Ruin
Q14. An upset Spiritomb took control over Grovyle, but when the double caught up to the bottom of the Sealed Ruins, Tori and Riolu managed to knock some sense into him with some Ice Fangs and Force Palms. The world's perpetual darkness made it become twisted with anger, like many others. It is time for Grovyle's side of the story. What is the name of the chapter we are about to begin? The Secret of the Planet's Paralysis.
Q15. Grovyle tells the story of Temporal Tower's collapse, and how the flow of time, as well as Dialga itself, went out of control as the tower fell into dismay. He is now a primordial being, Primal Dialga, wanting nothing but self-preservation. Grovyle tried to alter the history, instead trying to prevent the planet's paralysis, the opposite of what Dusknoir said! It makes sense though, since he is Dialga's most trusted underling. Riolu believes none of this, and wants to Quick Attack right into Dusknoir's hands. Regardless of what he and the Totodile do, Grovyle is going to find the time travel Pokémon, and she's an odd spirit... Said Pokémon is also a spirit in another game. What is the name of its unique ability in that game? Great Autoheal
Q16. Grovyle, Tori and Riolu make their way through Dusk Forest. Tori makes sure to Crunch every Mismagius along the way, and Riolu gets a few Bites in too. At the end they find the petite proportioned Celebi. Introductions are exchanged, Celebi pausing when looking at the Totodile's face, then the foursome are moving towards the location where they can travel back in time. Not far behind, a Sableye slowly pursues the group, foreboding terrible events... What is the name of the location that they reach after going through the next dungeon? Passage of Time; The Passage of Time
Q17. There it is! The passage of time, right behind Dusknoir! Wait, Dusknoir? He beat the quartet here, and he brought heavy reinforcements in the form of Primal Dialga. And with that... Grovyle gives up. He knows when he's beaten, but at least his partner is still in the past and she will finish his task. Dusknoir begins to ask and asks for her name. Grovyle's answer is deafening: "My Partner's name is Tori." And while Dusknoir explains his plans in the past, winning over Tori and Riolu's trust, Riolu has an idea. Using Celebi's time travel, they move forward just a small bit. Though the Temporal Pokémon puts a quick stop to the journey, the small diversion and distance is enough to make it! Moments later, the triple wake up like the name of the fourth song on the Sky Jukebox. What is the name of that song? On the Beach at Dusk
Q18. No time as beautiful as the present. A lot has to happen in a short time now, the planet's paralysis must be prevented, after all. To do that, the three partners needs a plan. First, a place to stay: Riolu opens up his former home in Sharpedo Bluff, where he lived on his own before applying to the guild. From there, the best way to start is by recollecting the Time Gears, so the next morning, Grovyle and Team Scavengers set out to the Forest in the east: Treeshroud Forest. On their way up, they step on a tile that has the face of a Slowpoke on it, and another with the face of an Electrode. What are the names of these two tiles? List alphabetically. Explosion Trap, Slow Trap
Q19. At the end of the dungeon, the monotype threesome stumble on something strange: Time is at a standstill here, despite the presence of a Time Gear. Grovyle grabs it (It doesn't change anything here anyway) and requests Riolu to gather some intel in Treasure Town on the way back. Once he returns, word around town appears grim: time has remained stopped at all the locations where the Time Gears were taken, and it appears to be spreading. It can only mean one thing... Temporal Tower is starting to collapse. The Time Gears have to be brought there to prevent its collapse. "But there's a problem." Grovyle says. The place where Temporal Tower can be found is shrouded in mystery. Where did Grovyle say Temporal Tower can be found? Hidden Land
Q20. Grovyle and team Scavengers split up. Grovyle will gather the remaining Time Gears, while Tori and Riolu will investigate the Hidden Land. For that, it's time to go back to the guild. As Diglett checks Riolu's footprint, the Ground-type leaves the sentry duty immediately and burrows up to go check. It is Riolu, and Tori too! The gates open and the entire guild runs in for a hug and a warm welcome back! Inside, Riolu tells the story of what happened in the future. Though Chatot posed standoffish at first, the guild supports the two and it's time to find the Hidden Land! First stop, Elder Torkoal. Where does he frequent again? Hot Spring
Q21. The next morning (definitely not the morning after with a day of ranking up in between with 3 A-level missions to get gold rank, no sirree! Really not being sarcastic here...), after being reunited with Paras and Tauros, Riolu and Tori make their way to the Hot Spring through Waterfall cave. . seeking Torkoal's wisdom about the Hidden Land. The wise old turtle has heard of it, and though he knows little, it is a lead. The Hidden Land lies beyond the sea in a hidden place. Only the chosen can find it, one who possesses certain qualities. You need proof of qualification. On their way back, they stop by Chansey Day Care to check up on the egg they received before their trip to the future. It recently hatched! A fully evolved dual type Pokémon, and it wants to join the team's cause. What Pokémon was in the egg? Girafarig
Q22. The next morning, Torkoal shows up again, and has a small bit of extra information, albeit very brief. The proof he mentioned the day before bears the inscription of a certain pattern. This pattern is hard to describe, but it's quite intricate and odd. It's a peculiar pattern. The kind you rarely see. Tori mulls it over. "A peculiar pattern... Wait, that's it!" What special item does she think of? Relic Fragment
Q23. Riolu shows his Relic Fragment to Torkoal. "That's it! It's a pattern exactly like this!" The Fire-type exclaims. It appears Riolu has the proof right there in his hand. Now all that remains is finding a way to access the Hidden Land. That's where Wigglytuff steps in. He and Chatot have seen the pattern before somewhere, inside an inlet to the northwest: Brine Cave. But there was a vicious bandit there. What Pokémon that team Scavengers has recruited would have a super effective STAB against this bandit, that are also weak to (at least) one of said bandit's STAB types? List alphabetically. Cubone, Paras
Q24. Wigglytuff has some errands to run, so Chatot is in charge of the guild until his return. At the same time, Riolu and Tori stop by Sharpedo Bluff if Grovyle is there. While he is not, he has left a note. It seems the lake guardians are understanding of his mission, and he's collected three of the five Time Gears already! Once he's done, he will head to Sharpedo Bluff or the beach. Team Scavengers head down there next. Though Grovyle is absent, across the horizon, a figure appears to move through the sea... Tori and Riolu decide to head to Spinda's Café and boost their IQ a bit. They have 21 gummis: 3 yellow, 2 gray, 4 blue, 1 gold, 4 orange, 3 red, 1 sky, 2 purple and 1 royal gummi. Knowing that Tori just hit 2 stars and Riolu just learned Power Pitcher, what are the last IQ skills the two could learn if they were to take all the gummis respectively? Assume the best possible luck, list alphabetically. Counter Hitter, Lava Evader
Q25. The next morning, it's time for the expedition to Brine Cave. Wigglytuff has not returned so Chatot leads the guild to the front of the cave. There, they split up, with Chatot collaborating with team Scavengers. During their travels, they noticed some Pokémon trailing behind. Once they reach the halfway point, one of them bumps into Tori 'by accident'. The leader of the triple then snags the Relic Fragment from the Fighting-type (once again), who dropped it thanks to the 'bump'. I wonder who they are... No seriously, who are they? Team Skull
Q26. Of course, who else would it be... They quickly run deeper into the cave, and Chatot is seeing red. He pursues the Poison-type pests (even though he doesn't learn pursuit) and after recovering from the shock, the Kelduo heads deeper as well. As they reach the deepest part, Riolu hears a few groans. Up ahead lies team Skull, defeated by the aforementioned bandit. The Fighting-type ensures their safety, and Skunktank hands the Relic Fragment back to Riolu (or, as he puts it, "\[it\] slipped out of my grip"), Tori and Riolu meet back up with Chatot. The bandit had retreated there, but they are nowhere to be seen. Chatot recalls the last time. "They seemed to appear out of nowhere, but where they really appeared from was-" Just then, three Pokémon swoop down from the ceiling and close in for a slash on team Scavengers. Chatot quickly jumps forward and shields his apprentices. Which three Pokémon are in front of Chatot right now? List alphabetically. Kabutops, Omastar, Omastar
Q27. While Riolu Screeches away at Kabutops, Tori makes quick work of the Omastar with Scary Face and Water Gun. An Oran Berry restores Tori back to full, and a Force Palm and Crunch combo later, Kabutops is sent packing as well. Mere moments later, Wigglytuff and Grovyle walk in, with the former scurrying over to the downed head of intelligence. Grovyle examines his wounds. He'll live, but he needs to be brought back to the guild now. In the meantime, Grovyle, Tori and Riolu continue deeper into the cave, where they find seawater on one side, reaching to the far horizon, and a mural that looks just like the Relic Fragment on the other. Said mural then reacts with the mural and a beam of light shoots out across the sea. Then, a Pokémon slowly moves in. The guide to the Hidden Land. What Pokémon is this? Lapras
Q28. To the Hidden Land! Riding on Lapras through the night and day, while Chatot safely recovers back at the guild, the three heroes of time travel through the waves of the endless blue sea. The next morning, they find themselves close. A little further, where the waves ripple in erratic patterns, there is a gap in time where the Hidden Land can be found. Time to cross the sea of time! Lapras takes off and starts to fly into the gap, and then the Hidden Land appears. There, across the mountains, floating in the sky, lies Temporal Tower, red-black clouds swirling on top of it. But.. it's floating in the air? How do we get to Temporal Tower? Lapras knows the answer. "You must take the..." Rainbow Stoneship
Q29. Making their way across the Hidden Land and Highland, The Totodile and company reach the Old ruins. Walking past ancient murals with Pokémon, they find a huge staircase. On top of the staircase is an ancient tablet, inscribed with a certain language. Grovyle made sure to read up on these extensively. He tells the explorers that the stone tablet they find themselves on is, in fact, the Rainbow Stoneship. In the hole in the center, the Relic Fragment seems to fit perfectly. What is the language found on the ancient tablet? Unown Letters; Unown runes; Unown; Unownspeak ; Unown Language
Q30. "That's quite enough of that" "Wheh-heh-heh" Dusknoir's trap has been activated, and the triple find themselves surrounded by the Sableye once again. Dusknoir has have waited here for a long time, since he knew Grovyle, Tori and Riolu had to go past this place eventually. Now, it's time to go back to the future. Of course, the heroes do not accept the proposal and choose to fight. In the brawl, Riolu manages to knock down Dusknoir. However, as he gets back up, he charges a massive Shadow Ball from his stomach mouth. He launches it towards the triple, but their combined attack knocks it right back into the open hole. Dusknoir has been defeated! ... You know, since they've been here for a while, I'm sure Dusknoir has looked at the murals inside quite a bit. Which Pokémon can he see there? List alphabetically. Dialga, Groudon, Kyogre, Mew, Palkia
Q31. Riolu goes back to the top of the temple to set up the Rainbow Stoneship, while Dusknoir seems to wake up, albeit too weak to do much. "Is this what you really want?" he asks. "If history is changed, We Pokémon of the future will disappear." Tori looks in shock at Grovyle. Is this true? Yes... it is. Once history is changed, Tori, Grovyle, Dusknoir, everyone from the future is removed from existence. But that was what Grovyle and Tori set out to do. Even Celebi is willing to lay down her life for this cause. But what of Riolu now... He'll be devastated. Tori decides to not tell until after they are done. A flash of light erupts, and Riolu appears to have activated the Stoneship for takeoff. Amidst the excitement, Dusknoir does a sneak attack on Tori. History will not be changed if it's up to him. Grovyle blocks the followup attack, and starts to push Dusknoir into the dimensional hole behind him. Dropping the Time Gears for the two left behind, Grovyle makes the sacrifice of going back to the future. "Though the parting hurts... The rest is in your hands." And with that, the two pop into the dimensional hole. It is time for the last adventure. At Temporal Tower, four Pokémon can roam the lower levels. Which four are they? List alphabetically. Bronzor, Lunatone, Porygon, Solrock
Q32. Battling their way up, the local Pokémon fall to more Force Palms and Water Guns. Once those ran out of PP, Riolu supported Tori's Crunches with Quick Attacks. The enemies are tough and often require a thrown Iron Spike for the final or first hit. All around them, tremors cause small pieces of the tower to brittle away. They have to hurry! Passing Temporal Spire, they make it to the top. The swirling red clouds cause lightning strikes all around the two and the tower appears moments away from falling apart. In the back is a pedestal with five indentations for five Time Gears. But when approaching, a thunderous voice talks. Dialga wants to protect Temporal Tower, but the legendary has been corrupted to its primal form and cannot think straight. It is time for the final fight. Tori and Riolu slowly move in, and the former throws an Iron Thorn. Once close enough, Tori goes for a Scary Face, but a certain IQ skill that Primal Dialga has prevents this from happening. What is that IQ skill? Intimidator
Q33. Dialga Metal Claws Riolu, who fights back with a tactical Screech. Tori tries another Scary Face, but Intimidator triggers again. Riolu Tries to deal some damage using Force Palm.. but he misses! Then, the temporal titan goes for its signature move to deal massive damage to both of its opponents, taking out Riolu! Thankfully, a Reviver Seed brings him back. Now that Dialga is Paused for a turn, Riolu opts for another Screech and the Totodile's Scary Face is blocked by Intimidator again. A fourth one misses, but the tides are turned when Riolu hits a massive Force Palm, paralyzing its foe! Another miss from Tori, but Riolu hits a second Force Palm. Tori seriously can't get a hit in as Intimidator denies yet another Scary Face, and the recovered Dialga hits back with an Ancient Power: There goes a second Reviver Seed. As a last ditch effort to actually help, Tori tries Scary Face again, but Intimidator ruins all hope of helping, before a third Force Palm deals enough for Dialga to fall. Now, amongst these three Pokémon, there were 12 different moves. Which moves could have been used in this battle, but have not been used successfully since the beginning of Temporal Tower? Know that Tori and Riolu's moveset have not changed since returning from the future, and Dialga has its EoS levelup moveset. List alphabetically. Bite, Dragon Claw, Ice Fang, Scary Face
Q34. With Dialga down, Riolu runs for the pedestal while the tremors worsen and the tower is on the verge of collapse. The Time Gears are inserted, and the massive quaking knocks out the double. Once awake again, it seems the dark clouds have disappeared, and Dialga is back to its normally reasoned self. Temporal Tower has taken heavy damage, but it survived. With its telepathy, Dialga shows Treeshroud Forest, where time flows once more. Then, this official subroom is shown, where Litt♥Eleven, pants and 111ace111 happily moderate the trolling voices (and PartMan). Peace has been restored to the land. Dialga thanks the two for traversing the Hidden Land, stopping Dialga's Primal rage, and preventing the ruin of Temporal Tower. Time to go home, back to that subroom! What is the name of the subroom? Treasure Town
Q35. As Tori descends the tower, she can feel her legs weighing her down more and more. She tries to keep up with the excited emanation pokémon, but it's all for nothing. Tori's legs begin to glow... "My time with Riolu ends now." she thinks. "Hey, Tori!" Riolu turns around and sees he has gained some distance. As he closes in.. he too notices the Totodile's glowing legs. "Sorry, Riolu. I kept this to myself for a long time. It looks like... I have to say good-bye" "What?! Good-bye?! What do you mean?!" "Dusknoir told me: If we changed the future, the Pokémon from the future would disappear. That's why I'm destined to disappear too..." The glowing spreads to Tori's torso "Thank you for everything. I'm going to disappear from here now, but I'll never forget you Riolu." "W-wait a second. I only made it this far because you were with me, Tori. You made me strong. If you go, I... I don't know what I would do." Tori responds: "You have to be strong on your own. You have to live! You have to go home. Tell everyone about what happened here, so that nothing like this ever happens again." Riolu seems to well up. The glowing has reached Tori's chin. It is getting brighter too. "Don't go Tori... please..." "I wish I could stay. Thank you for everything, Riolu. I'm glad we got to train together, go on adventures together... to get to know you, Riolu. I'm so lucky that you were my friend." "I feel the same Tori! To me, you are.. more important than anything." "As are you to me... Riolu, Even after I disappear from here, I will never, ever forget you." And with that.. The glowing has reached the Totodile's scalp... and Tori disappears from existence. "Tori.. Tori! Tori!!!" Riolu breaks down... (/scavenge continue to continue) Continue
Q36. A while later, Riolu slowly makes his way back to the Rainbow Stoneship, her friends' words echoing through her head. "You have to live! Get home, and tell everyone about what happened. It's Tori's last wish." The sobbing Pokémon finally reaches the Stoneship. He's getting farther and farther away from Temporal Tower... and from Tori. "Oh, Tori..." In time, Riolu manages to go back to Lapras, who consoled the child crying endlessly on her back, all the way back to Treasure Town. After a few days, Tori starts to roam Treasure Town, telling Tori's sTori to everyone who wants to hear it, as was her wish. It was a story of hope and peace, and of the great bond between two Pokémon. Months pass and everyone has returned to their cheerful routines. Life returned to normal gradually. Thank you all so so much for joining me in this odyssey through Explorers of Sky. I hope I have done the story justice, and that you enjoyed this 12 page long summary. As a final question, I want two simple numbers from you all: What is the amount of recruits that team Scavengers has right now, including its leaders, and what is the total amount of points Riolu and Tori have garnered towards their rank? Answer in that order. 28, 1760; 27, 1760
Q37. One evening, Riolu leaves the guild to go out for a walk. He crossed Bidoof on his way out. "You don't want to be late for dinner, so don't take too long!" The plump mouse Pokémon laughs. "Yes. understood." Riolu responds. He makes his way down to the beach, and marvels at the sight of the Krabby blowing beautiful bubbles across the shore. "I haven't seen this for a long time. It's as beautiful as I remember. I missed this fantastic sight... I wonder when it was when I last saw this..." Riolu thinks. "... Oh. It was when... when I met Tori." Tears begin to well up again. "The view was like this that time too..." He walks across the coast "I found her right there. That was when our adventure began." All of the memories returned to the Fighting-type... Saving Azurill, the amazing view at Fogbound Lake, the puzzle at Crystal Cave, the trip to the future, all the times Tori was there to cheer him up and give him strength, and... the moment she left him at Temporal Tower. "I remember it all so fondly... But now... Tori is gone... She's not here anymore..." With that, Riolu collapses on the sand... Atop Temporal Tower, Dialga felt the sadness that emanated from Riolu. Even after all these months, his sorrow is as intense as the day he left, and his will to bring back Tori as large as ever. "I will grant your wish. The world still needs you both. That is why I will trust you with a gift. I leave to you... the future! This is my thanks, please accept it!" A light begins to shine on the beach... and as Riolu looks up.. Tori is standing there once again. (/scavenge 'the end' to finish) The end; I thank you all so so much for playing. This was a huge undertaking, and I really liked doing this. I hope you enjoyed playing as well.
