[The feed begins with a series of snapshots. It starts with images of a war-torn battlefield lined with giant crystals, Team Aqua and Magma grunts and hordes of Pokémon and trainers alike.]

This world isn't safe.

[The images shift. New snapshots appear of Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon, taken from a safe distance above, but distinct in that they are indeed giant, glowing monsters.]

What happened last week is proof of that. You may all be content to enjoy a carefree lifestyle, but if it weren't for divine intervention, life as we know it would have ended with a whimper.

Together, we were able to hold off Team Aqua and Magma's forces, but the battle doesn't end there. If you could make a difference in the protection of this world, would you do it?

[The message ends there. About a half hour later, another text appears on the network, this time from a non-anonymous source.]

So, I think we all learned something valuable from that mess down at Tohjo: Don't summon giant lizards and whales to start the apocalypse. God doesn't like it.

There's a lot I could say. It was a busy few days, but if you look past all the legendaries, the explosions, and those cornball teams, there are two things that stick out to me: the weird power up some of our Pokémon got and the Pokémon god himself.

[Case in point? Here's an image of a Mega Sharpedo getting punched in the nose by a Mega Charizard X.]

So, what do you guys think that power was? Did any of you get a straight answer from Arceus? And how about that fairy type?

By the way, looking for a status report from all remaining members. With so many of us gone, we're gonna have to shuffle the squads. That's also why I sent out a recruitment message.

Yep, I can. I'll even try and see if I can make it tough for Porygons and Rotoms as well.

Poison could work, if we possibly can connect it to "decay" in general. And a lot of poison types are like that.

Heh, good thinking. I'm not sure how tough it is for them to decrypt things, but better safe than sorry.

So hmm... poison, steel... I guess that really does leave Dark. Otherwise, I can't think of anything.

Based on what I observed from Fortran's attempts, it depends on the security. But Porygons do seem to handle code more intuitively than I can with a keyboard.

Poison, steel and possibly dark, if Fairy is our "light". Or Fairy can be strong against Dark.

Probably comes from being a program himself. Bet it's even easier to hack with something like a Porygon-Z...

Hmm, fairy could be weak to dark and super effective, though. Kinda like how dragon's weak to itself.

Yeah. Fortran's a Porygon-Z and it's doing better than when its a Porygon. Even show me some weak points I overlooked or didn't notice in my projects.

A mutual weakness. That would actually be interesting to deal with, because we know about dragons.

Hmm. Still not sure if I want to evolve Gigabyte or not. I thought about it, even bought the disc. Just never got around to it.

Dragons are tough, so it's nice to have that immunity... but I also use a lot of dragons, so it's kind of a pain.

It's up to you, I say go for it for the improved performances.

I don't use a lot of dragons, so I don't have that problem. But it does sound like a pain if your best fighters are dragons.

They aren't all I use, but I have a lot of them.

Well, actually, I have a lot of everything.

Except cute things. That's not really my style.

I got one of every type, and from cute to scary. Then again, I don't use my cuter Pokemon in battle as much as my better fighters.

But it's fun to see Asterisk (Clefairy) wrecking someone up when she get the chance.

About the cutest I had before this was my Vaporeon, and he's way too prissy.

Now I've got one of those Sylveons, pink ribbons and all.

Also, next time your Clefairy steamrolls something, I totally want footage. That sounds way too good to be true.

Man, a Sylveon? I haven't seen one for myself, but it sounds like a cute mascot for girls.

And I'll make sure to do that. It's been a while since I have her in a serious battle. Not since I start going around and challenging gyms in Johto, I think.

...Now that I think about it, that's a pretty long time ago.

Sounds about right, honestly. Pink ribbons and bows, bright blue eyes. I mostly caught one because I wanted to see what it could do. New types and all that.

You ever manage to hit the Kanto gyms?

If they turn out pretty great, I might try getting one for myself. An Eevee evolution, right? It got the same -eon as the others in its name.

Yeah, I did! I got all 8 badges in Kanto. Which normally leaves the Elite Four, but who knows what's up on their end. I guess I can always head back to Johto and challenge the gym leaders again.

...Actually, it would be hilarious to hit up Clair with Asterisk.

Hey, why not? You could always head back for her Elite team and beat them down with a whole team of harmless, pink fairies.

I'm kinda tempted to do it, anyway. Even told Cecil I'd try and find some meanly fairy type to get the job done.

And yeah, Sylveons are eevee evolutions. Not sure how to trigger that volution, though.

Why not! I don't have enough pink fairies for a full six Pokemon team, but I can make up for it with some unorthodox strategies with my other Pokemon.

Right, the trigger. We don't know if it requires an item or they need to be happy.
