...Who hurt you? Valentine is really curious, because yikes! If someone who kills people on a regular basis like she's making curry for dinner for the tenth time in a row can still believe in love...just yikes forever.

“Fufufufu~ You have quite the primitive set of technology. Of course, I shouldn’t be surprised considering I’m talking with someone who likes to cosplay as someone from Meet the Flintstones.”
Timekeeper would sit upon her staff as if it were a broom, kicking her feet in the air as if innocent. How she even managed to get here would be unknown except to Timekeeper herself... and she loved keeping her magic tricks to herself.
“In fact, I’m more surprised that in this timeline that you’re still alive~”

PLAYS COOL.
@sadaolim liked for a Flick starter
Why did she come down to Area Zero again? The Koraidon exhaled nervously, unsure if the rival Koraidon was nearby. She wasn't a threat, she would keep herself low and submissive if the other were to show up. She sniffed the air as she descended down to the main lab, a sadness in her eyes as she scanned around.
The accident didn't happen in this one, but the memories still stung and Flick missed the professor dearly. She took a seat, her long antennae drooping as she sighed.
❝ Professor... I miss you. ❞
“….Why am I getting activity warnings from Zero lab? Sada what the hell are you doing down there…?”
"You won't get far being alone... You should work with your betters. It can benefit you..."
With their betters. It was an odd way to phrase something so simple. Complicating concepts or people into figures or distant forces, rather than things so easily grasped. They knew what kind of people were considered their 'betters', torturers seeking so called scientific achievements.
Taro was, after all, one of them. An achievement, a scientific miracle. The perfect specimen, really. They hated to be able to admit that, that in the end they were nothing but a science project. Yet worst of all, a project that went well, that didn't end in an explosion, but something that worked.
" ...miss, i am not alone, i have friends, a person to care for me. i work with myself, and with them. i don't believe i need any 'betters'... "
Their eyes narrowed somewhat, brows pursing close to their eyelids as they looked her up and down, how did they even get into this conversation, this situation. Taro's hand ran tight around their wrist, squeaking past the fabric, against the hidden crystals scattered along their epidermis.
" i am not...against, working with others, but i am on equal footing to everyone around me, i am a person, not something that has betters. "
@sadaolim asked:
A sample of tera crystals and a rock from ancient past are delivered to the champion with a note from the professor herself:
"I have heard of your work, Champion Stone. Would you be so kind to inspect these crystals? I wonder what your work could recover, and what conclusions you can draw. The other specimen I have sent you. You can keep it. - Professor Sada"
unprompted asks. // always accepting.
professor sada. it takes a few moments of racking his brain, but steven does ultimately recognize the name. he is well versed in global affairs and the people involved -- and he definitely makes a point of knowing each region’s leading professors in the field of pokemon. this professor is from paldea, though he would probably not have remembered her specialty, had the tera crystals not been present.
he picks up one of the larger crystals, turns it about in his hand, examining it. yes, he has heard of these. the tera phenomenon in paldea is something that he has been interested in for quite some time, but he has not gotten to visit in person yet. setting the crystal down in its own space, he opens a drawer in his desk and rifles around through it until he is able to find what he is seeking -- his jeweler’s loupe. he has a microscope that he uses for identification and the like, but he is going to hold off on using that until later. for now . . . precursory examinations.
as he brings the loupe up to his eye and leans down to examine the crystal, he cannot help but feel butterflies of excitement forming in his stomach.
