SIGNEU;
content: You round a corner in a dreary metal hallway and skid to an abrupt stop when you see what waits at the end: A room full of Team Galactic Grunts, all lined up and waiting for something (you've never seen so many ugly haircuts in one room before). You almost backpedal behind the corner again but spot a familiar man lurking at the end of the hall. With quiet, careful steps you start to walk up behind him.
"Psst! Here. Over here." He notices you and speaks in a hoarse whisper, beckoning you over. "This gathering of the Team Galactic... What is the meaning of it?" You shake your head and quietly tell him you don't have any idea. None of the people you battled on the way here had said anything about a meeting.
You step up beside him just as the lights dim. The two of you exchange a look; You'll find out what this is about soon enough.
You recognize the man who walks out onto the upper floor that overlooks the meeting room. He looks composed and calm like he has every time you've seen him before but... Something is different about him. You don't have any time to figure out what before the assembled Grunts start cheering and clapping for him.
He holds his hands up to silence the applause before he starts to speak. "Fellow members of Team Galactic! Hear me! My name, as I appear to you today, is -----. This world of ours is a crude one. In a word, it is incomplete. It has been, and always will be, a struggle to survive in this world. We humans and Pokémon are likewise incomplete. Because we are all so lacking, we fight, we maim... It is ugly." -----'s words make you frown. He's still going on about the world being incomplete... You suppose it was too much to ask that he'd reconsider after you beat him before.
"I hate the incompleteness. That we are all incomplete, I hate it with my entire body and being." His audience is silent, listening to him with rapt attention as he pauses to scan the crowd, and you have to remind yourself that he can't spot you or Looker to keep yourself from backing up. "The world should be complete. The world must change. Then, who will change it? Me, Cyrus. And Team Galactic. Yes, all of you. Together we pored over myths and exposed their secrets. Together we captured legendary Pokémon." His voice grows louder, more passionate. "And now, Team Galactic has obtained the energy to change the world! The power of dreams is within our grasp! Understand it, fellow members! My long-held dreamworld is on the verge of becoming reality. All those headed to Mt. Coronet, and those who remain here... Though our missions may differ, our hearts beat as one. Let there be glory for Team Galactic!"
The grunts explode into cheers and shouts of support (you hear someone shout "Master ----- is the greatest!" over the din) while -----, having finished his speech, spins on his heel and leaves. The telltale chime of a warp pad echoes out as the grunts start to disperse through the pad on the other end of the room and you let out a breath you didn't know you had been holding in.
"...Whew." Looker sighs, leaning against the wall. "So, that was -----, the boss of the Team Galactic. Quite the performance, no? Mesmerizing for one of only 27 years old. ...But to make a world for Team Galactic and none other?" He shakes his head. "It is preposterous. So much so that it makes my head spin. A new world? What is that? And what is this incomplete world?" He straightens up and fixes the collar of his trench coat. "Very well. To investigate such matters is the job of the International Police. Of which I am a member in good stead. And it is my job, therefore. We shall part ways here. Take extra care, my friend!" Looker pats you on the shoulder with a friendly smile and exits the room the way you came in, leaving you free to check out what's waiting ahead.
Maybe you'll ruin into ----- and get some answers, if you're lucky.
what is learned: ● Looker is also investigating Team Galactic! he also makes no attempt to make her leave or stop her investigation, presumably because he knows she's capable of beating the grunts in a Pokemon battle.
● Galactic Grunts are so dumb. they're really dumb, none of them even noticed Looker and Sparrow standing a couple feet away.
● Cyrus is... basically a politician. he's charismatic and good at public speaking, along with saying what the Grunts want to hear. Sparrow thinks he's full of garbage and doesn't know why anyone buys this crap :T
