[Dawn "Platina" Berlitz]

“...Oh yeah, I forgot about that.” Dawn replied, seemingly a bit unenthusiastic about the idea. “...You know it wasn't... me who did that, right?” she continued on to ask somewhat hesitantly. “I mean don't get me wrong, I 'helped'. But it was really Barry who made that possible. He had to win my butt back from Cyrus for me. So technically it takes two ten year olds to raid an old nutjob's place and  harass them and their grandkids with pokemon battles.” Dawn lamely continued, making light of the HQ raid. What had that even mattered? All Cyrus did was run off to Mount Coronet and wind up destroying the world anyway. Did any of those battles really matter, even the ones where Barry picked up the slack?

“That was kind of a running theme, actually... I still remember him having to come rescue me from Jupiter.” Dawn softly lamented. “--Buuut, I guess if anyone is strong enough to substitute for Barry, it'd be you right? Let's go check out what's making these pokemon so aggressive!” Dawn exclaimed. “Sickly little girl in a caveman costume, you stand guard! I guess!” Dawn light-heartedly instructs, making no pretense of taking this seriously or waiting to see if Cham Cham actually obeyed.

As the group runs up the stairs, they eventually reach the top floor. Waiting there... is an Xatu. It's staring out across the Life Sphere, its eyes wide and its body motionless. It does not immediately acknowledge the group. “--Oh hey, it's that pokemon I saw in the window...” Dawn remarks, pulling out her pokedex to give it a quick checkover. "Xatu! The 'mystic' pokemon. It is said that its right eye sees the future, while its left eye sees the past. Some people in different lands have long believed that Xatu are emissaries from another world. Xatu spends its days standing motionless while staring into the sun until it sets, rarely moving of its own will. People believe that this Pokémon does so out of fear of the terrible things it has foreseen in the future." the pokedex chimes in.

“--Well that's an ominous pokedex entry. How do you think it got in here?”

Just then, the Xatu responds with a question of its own, remaining motionless. It spoke via telepathy. "...Why are you here?"

“...Honestly, I don't know. I was just getting chased by some crazy mushroom man and now I'm hanging out with--” Dawn lamely began.

"...No--Why are you here?"

"okay..." Cham Cham would say, keeping her eyes on the entrance to the stairwell, in a manner of a cat keeping a watch out for anything that might cause it to react by looking for it's master to alert them of potential Intruders.

It was quite jarring that a girl dressed like a jungle cat would have a far more alert demeanor in spite of her childish nature.

[Champion Cynthia]

Cynthia gave a practiced flip of her hair as she emerged out onto the Buildings rooftop, approaching Xatu as Dawn's pokedex read off it's entry. "Be careful, Dawn. Xatu's are incredibly powerful pokemon-- Not just in there foresight of the future, but in there Psychic abilities as well. It might shrink you in size on a whim if it wanted." Cynthia would warn, as it approached. Cynthia's Aura Beads rose up gently as she looked to Dawn...She believed that Potent Black Aura was the thing Xatu referred to.

"Xatu, I understand your concern--...And im sure your more aware of the future than i. Surely you can see that staying up here is going to be more dangerous than if you come with us, right?" Cynthia would ask to try and reason with Xatu-- Though understanding as well that Xatu's ability to see the future meant that Cynthia would have to play to Xatu's game more than the reverse.
