Alma: Should I clean this thing first? I mean, technically you’ve been wearing it since I’ve known you, Jory-
Jory: Just put the dang thing on before I ‘deck ya...
Alma: And who says that-
Jory: You’re not my boss anymore, Alma, rememberrrrr you disbanded the Sinnoh Knights...
Alma: Calm down, I’m joking...
...
Regigigas: [I am certain you can understand me now, yes?]
Alma: Huh... yes, yes I can.
Regirock: [Does that include us?]
Jory: I assume? I mean, he does have the item tied directly to Regigigas, so...
Registeel: [That’s quite the responsibility to leave to a non-Proxy. Albeit, spreading the power is not unheard of, look at Lugia’s Proxies after all.]
Alma: ...
Regice: [It is, very much so, but this Lopunny, Alma was it?]
Alma: ... That’s right...?
Jory: Oh! He can understand them!
Alma: Where are they though??
Regice: [As mentioned earlier, we reside within the rings worn by Proxy Jory, thus we can move about freely while being aware of the world around us and not draw attention that is unneeded. However, I do find some interest in if Sir Alma will join as our Proxy, having another to speak with that can understand us would be lovely.]
Alma: “Sir” Alma...?
Jory: Sometimes Regice can be pretty formal, most of them try to be, really.
Alma: Huh...
Regigigas: [I considered making Alma a Proxy, truthfully, but I do think testing him first would be ideal, it would fit in with his circle of friends after all.]
Alma: I don’t think choosing a Proxy based solely on who their friends are is wise...
Regirock: [Lugia did it.]
Alma: So...? And do you think I know what Lugia did??
Regigigas: [Lugia’s Proxies are also fellow experiments of the criminals of Orre, and in turn, their greatest foe and fellow Shadow Pokemon is a mortal who outclasses them on occasion, not to mention one of the humans behind their alteration into these new forms of Pokemon also created the mortal that you once bore animosity towards.]
Alma: You mean... Reid? How do you know-
Jory: Remember this... even while incapacitated, there are other Regi out there, somewhere, ‘Gigas made a bunch of them, just I-personally-don’t know where they are.
Regice: [And Madam Jory has yet to prove herself worthy of that knowledge, regardless, I am certain quite a few of our Regi brethren “slumber” within Orre. Likely failed versions of Registeel and ‘rock, I’d say.]
Regirock: [Possibly, yes.]
Alma: So, the Regi aren’t like the other Legends?
Regigigas: [Well, not my creations, no. I am the only one-true “Regi” as you call us. These are extensions of myself, they do not “Reincarnate” in the same way as others do, either. One Century, I was bored, and recreated the Regi with these unique colors in mind, if you must know.]
Alma: ... Huh, but they all have independent thought?
Registeel: [Correct. We have our own thoughts and emotions, Regigigas is capable of creating life, as they are one of the original Legends created before the beings of life and death truly existed.]
Alma: And those would be-
Jory: I think they mean Xerneas and Yvetal...
Alma: Ah...
Jett/Victini/Meloetta: ...
Victini: I thought the Lopunny was a hardass...
Jett: [He’s been acting strange since the Giratina attack, honestly.]
Meloetta: Maybe that’s why he cannot understand you.
Jory: ...
Alma: Something wrong? Everyone suddenly got eerily quiet...
Jory: Nope! I’m just glad you got used to the voices in your head thing so fast!
Alma: I think I’ve been through enough BS to be comfortable with an ancient god and their creations talking to me through telepathy provided by an artifact they made...
Jory: ... OK!
Regigigas: [I’m certain you know where to locate the “Spirits of Chaos” as you call them, so please make sure to prepare for anything before you head off on your journey.]
All (except Jett of course): Right!
