First interview has been completed, we didnt get as much as we wanted tragically but we have at least the building blocks to proceed with when we question the next person.

I am going to share the transcript below.

[The following post contains the transcript for a segment of an interview, translated from Kalosian.]

Flynn: Alright, I have a few other questions somewhat unrelated to your performances, is it alright if I go ahead and ask some of them?

Shauna: That depends. What are you interested in?

Flynn: Well, I’m interested in what you may have to share about your experience during the time of The Ultimate Weapon… 

[There was a brief pause before Flynn spoke again, an intent behind his voice.]

Flynn: What did you experience?

Shauna: It was New Year's Eve. Serena had just gotten her seventh badge. There was a weird show on the holocaster where Lysandre told us about his plans or something. It's been more than 10 years, I don't remember completely. No one knew what was going on until the Ultimate Weapon emerged from the ground in Geosenge. There was media coverage about it everywhere, with broadcasts about the holocaster constantly going on. People were convinced that it was the end times, but that was what Lysander wanted it to be.

I followed Calem and Serena to Team Flare's base in Geosenge. I wanted to help my friends. I wanted to be brave. There were a lot of grunts there, admins too. I think Lysandre had recalled just about everyone in Team Flare and a lot of his employees from Lysandre Labs to the base. We had to fight against many of them to get by. We should have done a better job of hiding and sneaking around, but we were just teenagers with a team of pokemon. We weren't experts at sneaking into the bases of criminal organizations.

Calem and Serena took care of most of the trainers inside the base. I could battle, but I wasn't nearly as good as them. They were the ones who took on the gym challenge and always pushed each other to improve. At one point, we came across a door locked with a puzzle. I loved puzzles as a kid and I still love them, so I solved it using an invention by my friend Clemont – The Gym Leader in Lumiose. I remember when I opened that lock, I knew we were close to the end. That there was something through that door that would change us all forever. 

We continued through the door and all the ones that followed until we were in the last room. Serena entered first and she saw what was in there. The power source of the ultimate weapon. By the time I got into the room, it was no longer providing power to the weapon, but I still knew what it was. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw it, actually. We didn't have time to marvel at what we had found, though. Lysander had found us. His pokemon were too strong for us. His Gyarados would have killed us. He was going to kill us if he hadn't been arrested. Lysander was defeated, but not without some scars on our side.

Then he fired the weapon. We barely had enough time to get out. We wouldn’t have gotten out if we hadn’t had help, just like how we would have died without it. We watched the weapon launch and the destruction that followed from just outside of town. We didn’t want to move at all. We didn’t leave until some rescue workers checking the outskirts of town for people who escaped the wreckage found us. 

[Shauna takes a shaky breath.] 

Flynn: Who helped you–

Shauna, in a firm and somewhat agitated voice: I think you need to leave.

[estranger-and-stranger-still]

Okay. Okay.

The situation has been dealt with.

Ryoko, Maple’s grandmother, and Ivy, Maple’s mother, are now aware of the Yveltal situation and… believe us surprisingly.

The two of them are now going to be accompanying us and helping, which is great as they have many more connections than us and are not believed to be runaway children.

[estranger-and-stranger-still]

OKAY. THEYRE OUT

WELL NOT ALL OF THEM MIGUEL AND MAPLE ARE STILL IN THERE APPARENTLY DISTRACTING THE UKTRA BEAST???

BUT WE HAVE ASPEN

JUST NO MAPLE OR MIGUEL YET

Firium Z crystal has been obtained! Three trials down!

[estranger-and-stranger-still]

Tomorrow, if all goes well, I will be interviewing someone who was there for the event of The Ultimate Weapon and we will hopefully find out if the rumors of Yveltal being involved are true.

Her name is Shauna and I will be speaking to her after her performance tomorrow as it is remarkably easy to get your hands on backstage passes to pose as a journalist when four of the members of this group are psychic and one is a talented hacker.

We will be sharing the transcripts of the interviews as we do them.
