Seventy-Eighth Launch

[Video]

...It's about time I disclosed the results of my investigation.

Professor Elm's laboratory holds nothing of interest -- at least, that I was looking for in particular. All of their devises and projects have to do with Pokémon.

The only place of any interest is "Mom's" house...if only for the fact that it's impossible to enter it. The doors and windows are locked, and the chimney releases gusts of wind to keep people from entering that way. Whoever constructed it made for certain that no one could re-enter once they left.

...I did catch a glimpse of "Mom" herself, though, late at night. She was just...standing there. Expressionless face, just staring at her oven. She didn't move or respond to any noises. She remained that way until sunrise.

I'm done dismantling those bombs. I've discovered a few things, and the most interesting part ins't the materials or level of technology used, it's the amount of experience that shows in each bomb's construction.

Most of the bombs I found were very clearly made by someone who knew what he was doing...and then some. The construction and mechanics were so complex that I'd almost call them needlessly complex. Whoever made them is either genius beyond even my level, or a complete nutcase.

However, there were a few other bombs that were far simpler and more, well. Crude. Judging by how those were made, I'd say whomever made them was experienced with the effects of explosions, but not the fine details of an explosive device. So I'd say we're dealing with two people who specialize in...well, not necessarily explosives, but definitely explosions.

I'm leaving Goldenrod City. I have business to take care of in Kanto, so I'll be taking the train to Saffron City as soon as I can. Be careful, all right?

I know. That is why I told you not to worry ...

... so please continue to think of doing what you must do. I will be fine.

Take care of yourself in Kanto, Athrun. Miki too of course.

...That'd be pretty bad...

We should do something about that, if it's the case. Do you think there're any books about disarming bombs?

[Because making Athrun explain it to everybody seems like it'd be giving the guy a lot of work]

Darn...that makes sense, but if there's lots of bombs and only a few people like you out there, that'd be rough.

Just you and Shinn... Is it hard to learn?

So it's pretty complicated.

Wish I was a bit more handy with machines like Hope.

Like an example, right? If people could learn, then it wouldn't only be you and Shinn if more bombs showed up here in the future.

Good point, I don't think anybody would want you to be stuck.

If you decide to teach people sometime, I'll do my best to learn. That way I can try and help out too.

I always keep my promises, so I'll be there for sure.

Is there a possibility that they're behind this, then? Normally I wouldn't suspect something as base as a crime syndicate to be responsible for this sort of thing, but it's fairly difficult to determine what's plausible and what isn't in this world.

True enough, but that doesn't quite rule it out. After all, I'm sure you know what they say about best laid plans.

[NOT THAT HE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS NOPE]

It could have been some sort of unintended side effect.

[several low-level pokemon in the area just fainted from the irony bomb

shit was pretty real]


I know very little about this organization, so I can't exactly theorize as to how competent or reckless they are. What kinds of operations have they run in the past?

...so I see.

[...he does not sound particularly impressed.]

I see no reason to rule out the idea that something went haywire, then, if their one confirmed operation was an abject failure.
