Now that everyone has hopefully had enough time to recover from the events regarding those tunnels and the mysterious creature within...

I have been thinking about that quite a bit, I must confess. Isn't it intriguing that, even in a world so developed and known as this, there are still mysteries spread throughout it?

Species we are not familiar with. Legendaries that evade all attempts to be known. Macaroni and cheese boxes which boast about their cheesiness and which yet contain no packet.

[One of these things is not like the other.]

So, my question to others in our predicament is... What mysteries have held your attention, whether in this place, or your homelands?

For myself, personally, I have ended up stumbling onto the answers of many practical matters. Medicine, food, things of that nature. It is still incredible to me how Johto and Kanto manage to handle it all so readiliy, to the point that even travelers such as ourselves can live comfortably with some effort.

Yet I wonder more about these Legendaries as well, and what an interesting presence they possess....

When I was younger, I had an interest in a set of...artifacts. I wanted to know more about their history and how they came to be.

[This is said in a tone that suggests that he doesn't want to get too far into this topic. Must be sensitive for Ryou these days.

What comes next, however, is in a much more cheerful tone. You just activated his trap card, so to speak.]

Right now I'm interested in the Ghost type. They all have different origins, with some that were supposedly human in their past lives, like Yamask, and some that were supposedly other kinds of Pokémon before, like how Hisuian Zorua were once Unovan Zorua that came back as vengeful ghosts. Some are even haunted items, like how Spiritomb is tied to its keystone and Sinistea is a haunted teacup.

I want to try and meet as many different Ghost types as possible while I'm here. I know there's risks to it, but...

[...But he's always been interested in the creepy and occult.]

....Ah.

I... see.

[Meanwhile, this is Dimitri's sensitive topic, leaving him feel more than a little awkward. It sounds as though there is a pure and innocent interest in ghosts, which is - good. He supposes. Like Mercedes. Mercedes liked ghost stories.]

[It's... just... like that...]

Which ones have you met, then...?

[rolltoavoidpossession]

[Ah. He knows some people are awkward about this topic, so he'll try to avoid going too in depth.]

I've met quite a few actually. My first Pokémon was a Hisuian Zorua, and I also have a Cursola, Pumpkaboo, Lampent, Yamask, Greavard, Mimikyu, and I ended up with a Dragapult when someone I knew left.

[A solid amount so far.]

That truly is quite a variety. I wish I could know of any others that you could meet.... Although, I do not suppose you have already seen an Alolan Marowak, or a Hisuian Typhlosion?
