Part 2: Tick, tock
After the battle, Kieran congratulated the MC for beating him. Something about how he speaks and his movements seem completely off, that he wasn’t himself, it was like when the MC first met him at BB academy. Maybe if the MC paid more attention, they would’ve noticed all of Kieran’s Pokémon are level 88. The MC was of course slightly uncomfortable, until the BB elite four arrived, Lacey showing her signature cross, says that it’s not right to battle in dangerous conditions, however, Kieran dismissed it as a ‘friendly spar’, Drayton snidely asked if it was because he was still salty, ex-champion? Kieran said that it was nothing like that in a calm manner, for the first time, Drayton dropped his smile and looked serious, as if…he could tell that this wasn’t Kieran. After all, Kieran would normally be annoyed when he said that.
After that, Drayton decided to change the topic and asked how the students were doing, Crispin said that they were fine, the MC got curious and asked what happened. Crispin replied that some of the students got sick and were sent to the nurse’s office, apparently they all ate some weird purple mochi, something the school didn’t seem to order. Amarys noticed a slight smile from Kieran when Crispin said that, now when asked where the other members of the Paldea group are since orientation’s over. Amarys replied that Nemona is teaching students how to battle in singles, Arven is helping to prepare food for the students and Penny is helping to find out what’s causing the power outages. Kieran calmed the MC down saying that the outages are likely caused by some Water type Pokémon accidentally bumping into the school, but Lacey counterpointed that it rarely happens and they’re not this serious in the past.
Just then, the Paldea Crew arrived and met up with the others, the gang interacted for a while, before Penny brought up that there wasn't any definite reason for the power outages, but the best reason she could come up with is that someone or something has been tampering with the power gird, and drain the electricity. Penny also mentioned that despite fixing it, it continuously happened multiple times, and security cameras didn't work as they were always broken by someone. Before Penny could continue, Arven pointed out if the pokemon are acting more aggressive than usual. The BB students all said that they all started acting more aggressive around 8 days after the first power outage, Just then, Nemona commented how pretty the Terrarium Core is, and a nice shade of purple too. The BB students (minus Kieran) were confused as the Terrarium Core was not supposed to be purple, this is not normal.
Before anyone could process how the core was purple. Kieran suddenly collapsed, everyone was concerned and rushed to him. Carmine being the most stressed out, however, Kieran pushed them all away and yelled: "RUN AWAY! IT'S A TRAP!!!!"
All hell broke loose
(To be continued)
Hey now you can't just leave me hanging here like this!
Okay so my theory/guess on this is:
1. Kieran wanted to help the MC last minute because maybe he realized "Hey maybe this isn't a good idea"
2. Dokutaro/Pecharunt is going to show up like the Ghost of Christmas Past and be like HELLO (and maybe pull a Motherbeast Lusamine and have an epic boss form)
3. It's going to be a like 20 on 1 battle against Pecharunt (except Pecharunt probably has an army of the Pokémon and maybe trainers on his side thanks to the mochi)
4. Alternatively, the BB League could fight off the chained Pokémon while the MC and the Area Zero gang (maybe with help of Carmine) could fight Dokutaro/Pecharunt
5.OH SHIT SOME OF THE STUDENTS ATE THE MOCHI OH NO
