Swanna Song, Sung Throughout Sinnoh

Rekindling An Old Flame

"Gary, I don't know what to say but thank you!" Kiwi told him loudly.

"What? Thank you?" Gary, also speaking up over the commotion going on around him, looked at his friend like she had lost her mind.

"Listen, I know what you went through was crazy, but you survived! And while the information wasn't the most useful, it was more than we had before! You provided a lot of help for a lot of people by your testimony!"

"Kiwi, you can't tell anyone else about this, okay? I can't handle the... fame? It's bad enough I survived the Indigo League! I don't need more acknowledgement! I've been lucky to be under the radar as it is! It's a miracle the news got there after it was all over."

"I know! I won't tell anyone! But you saw things that I can keep notes on as we all try to comprehend what this monster is! You saw her take abnormally enhanced attacks of a variety of moves from Isaac!"

"But I can only verify a couple of the typings of them! What good is that?"

"All the good!" Kiwi insisted.

"BYE-BYE ISAAC!!" The crowd started clapping to a beat before chanting again. "BYE-BYE ISAAC!!" More claps to a specific beat.

"FUCK TEAM SOLACE, YEAH YEAH YEAH!! FUCK TEAM SOLACE, YEAH YEAH YEAH!!" was a second cheer from a different group.

Gary looked back, smirking slightly, and then looked back to Kiwi and shook his head. "I just can't understand what the fuck is going on! What just happened yesterday?"

"So you're cursing now?" Kiwi smirked.

"This isn't a joke, Kiwi!" Gary insisted. "Isaac's... dead! What does this mean for Team Solace? Is it over now?"

"I'm quite sure he had others to take control just in case of something like this. It can't just be over because he's dead! Don't be stupid!"

Gary's heart dribbled faster in his chest as he stared solemnly after his friend's harsh words, but he knew she was right. "Well, tell that to these guys! I think they're mostly the same people from yesterday in here still celebrating!"

"Mmmm," Kiwi merely nodded.

Gary looked back again, taking in everyone jumping and slapping high fives, arms around each other, a few men shoving each other around playfully. Some people even had glasses of something to drink, the contents not certain.

There were also some folks sitting down, not looking enthusiastic whatsoever. A couple of them were watching the celebrating while others just frowned at the ground, talking amongst themselves.

"But it's irrelevant, honestly! You saw this thing get hit by Fire, Electric, and other types of moves! That's what's interesting! That's what's important! The real question right now is if she's even alive! You didn't get to confirm that, but we know the four Regis took her underground!"

"Why? This is crazy!" Gary cried, returning back to Kiwi. "Why would Regigigas and the other three take her to safety? And why did Regigigas have the missing Infinity Energy! They're working together?! Do you really think they took her to the Sinnoh Underground?"

"I have no idea, but that is the working theory on the news right now!"

"And what are they gonna do if they find all four... five... of them down there? The monster alone can take out an army! Add four Legendaries to the mix??"

"Guns and things are so futile against Pokemon, in the long run, huh?" Kiwi mentioned thoughtfully.

"They all came up to protect her from Isaac's Explosion attack! Isaac died trying to kill her, and she had a backup plan! She's intelligent! Too intelligent! She's more than a Pokemon! If she can think like this, she's gotta be some kind of mutant or something! Right?!"
