Do you suppose there’s a chance AZ3′s memory wasn't wiped and he remembers Fives? Because if that’s the case, I really need AZ to have a conversation with Echo...

I had to

[titanchaser]

ok a presentable version of arven's future clothing. it keeps his tera core going and so he constantly seems to have the stellar tera crystal energy bands around his arms (which help augment his heavy hits when he throws hands)

the suit interfaces with arven's body. like a second skin... he's still not sure what to feel about that, because normal people don't have that as a thing...

”How come everyone’s obsessed with drinking that stuff?” Celeste asked when she saw Arven pass by, her expression is a mix of confusion and annoyance. While no longer plugging her nose, it is scrunched up to show displeasure of the scent.

❝ sometimes caffeine can help give someone a kickstart to their day. it helps some people wake up. if it's the coffee that you're talking about. ❞ but from the look on celeste's face, arven can tell that there's something more to this. maybe he wasn't the arven that she knew, but he was arven, and it was some universal constant that he would be the friend of the person who saved paldea. the person who helped whatever version of him save mabosstiff...

❝ but, i'm guessing this isn't just about the coffee, little buddy. you've been really shocked by this whole ordeal... ❞

❝ you shouldn't have to clean up my dad's mess. you shouldn't have had to clean it up in the world you came from, either. it's not fair to just slap all of that pressure on any single person ... ❞

not that this has been easy for him, either, but she's sixteen. she's not even an adult yet. she shouldn't be fighting for her life, she should be enjoying her treasure hunt. he's an adult. he's twenty one. his father was involved in this-

❝ let me help you. whatever you need, just let me help. you're not alone here. ❞

+ talk about your dad

❝ I really didn't know my dad like I thought I did. ❞ Yeah, so it was family talk time, and Arven really did need to get some things off his chest. ❝ He's the one who started to get me into cooking. Mom was awful at it, everything was always undercooked or charred to a crisp. Dad didn't have that problem, so I guess I got my knack for cooking from him. But he didn't teach me very much of it ... ❞

❝ He had that time machine and he was using it to travel back and forth from the present to the future. I didn't know what he was up to ... or what that AI of his was up to until ... a few months ago. ❞ A lot had changed in a very short period of time, hadn't it?

❝ I lived in the Great Crater as a kid, in Area Zero. 100 years in the future, it's actually a city of its own... but the people had died and the pokemon were rampaging, so dad built this ... it looked like a tuning fork. It probably was one, but it helped those future pokemon... I saw the city. Zero City ... and it was ... ❞

❝ Dad was a hero there. That's where his AI went before the time machine shut off. It died there. That flash drive I have next to my mom's urn? Yeah, that's got footage of dad's AI fighting something called ARCHEUS. But that future won't happen anymore. I'll make sure of it. ❞ It weighs heavy, the entire ordeal, but he feels better knowing the truth about his dad.

❝ He ... wasn't the world's best dad for sure, but there's no doubt he wanted to do the right thing. For me, for mom, and for the future. I want to keep that dream of his alive. ❞
