So what do we do, Professor?
[Well, if the staff is missing, we'll have to subdue Hotekh the hard way. I trust you have some poke balls handy?]
Wait, you want me to catch it?!
[I'd rather not, but we have no other options. Just...promise me you won't make the situation worse than it already is.]
You got it, Professor. *click* Hey, Rico? Remember what I said about blowing Hotekh up?
Yeah?
I was wrong. You're gonna do it.
Okay, do you want me to just supercharge an aura sphere or do you ha-wait, WHAT?!
