[...so there was certainly a news broadcast featuring a certain Pokemon Professor just now, and while Kayneth usually doesn't mug for these sorts of things, he... goes with video in case he needs to show off something.

For now, though.

For now.

...on some level, he's thrilled, but on another level... the way he's drumming his fingers on his desk suggests some level of exasperation.]

Well, I believe that broadcast may have cleared up a mystery or two for those of us who have noticed some strange things about some of the new Pokemon --- namely, the Fairy type this professor was talking about. Some others and I have noticed that several Pokemon had an unusual amount of resistance to the Dragon type, and while I suppose it could have been some bizarrely common ability... well, as sudden as this seems, a whole new type suddenly appearing out of the ether makes more sense.

[he... sighs....... and then grabs the gear, turning it to show off three Pokemon. They happen to be a Carbink floating closer to the camera to try and mug a bit, distracting a bit from a spacey looking Swirlix and a shy looking Flabebe.]

...Dionisy, could you not...? Anyway, I've determined that these Pokemon seem as though they completely resist Dragon type moves, making them decent candidates for this new type. If you've noticed this particular quality from any of the Pokemon that you caught over the course of September, please tell me --- being able to catalog them would probably be useful for all of us.

[...something's still bothering him, though, as the Carbink continues to float around in the background and waggle their ears at the table...]

...Of course, that broadcast... brought up another question. Is anyone here familiar with the palace of Versailles? I'm really certain the Professor was just... standing in front of Versailles.

In... France.

[...he

sighs..............]

...likely, it's... some sort of equivalent, but... is there truly a place in this world that's just France...? Is there an equivalent to everything? Of course, I have no idea if there's any sort of point to speculating given that we'll never actually go there.

[A gloomy pause.]

Probably not, really.

Ah, that would put a damper on things. How bad is it, precisely...?

Bad enough that missiles were shot at our city and the leader of the creatures was powerful enough to make them hang in the air and then disappear.

Yes, I'd say that sounds rather dire. Do any humans happen to have any sorts of abilities they can use to resist them, then...?

There were some, yes. Now two are left fighting over who will remake the world.

What, so that's the win condition? Is it just irreparable otherwise, or is this some other incentive...?

The Forbidden Fruit. The Golden Apple. The ambrosia of the gods. Whatever you want to call it, it's what they've been fighting over. Much of the previous race that had it didn't want to give it up, but they have now. All that's left is... one, maybe two humans with different ideas of how they want the world to be.

...doesn't it always seem to boil down to that sort of thing?

[He's not cagey about the Holy Grail War in most cases, but he... hasn't been wanting to talk about that, really...]

I have to wonder if it'd be better or worse if they declared it to be fore the fairest right off the bat.

We'll never know, I suppose.
