9th Grail: [Video/Action for Ecruteak]

[Ilya's sitting at a table outside of what looks like the Ecruteak public library, a mug of something in one hand and a book in the other. Behind her, Xion can be seen looking up at something in the sky, though she's a bit out of focus.]

This city really is an amazing place to learn about the legends of the Pokemon world. I should have come here earlier. That story about the phoenix and the three beasts... I thought it was fascinating, until I stumbled upon this.

[She turns the book to the camera, showing off a picture of two certain Pokemon...]

These two are said to control Time and Space itself. That sort of power, in the hands of these two Pokemon! Imagine what they could do if they put their minds to it...

[There's an odd gleam in her eye as she mentions that. Though some people might be distracted by Xion beginning to wave her arms in the air at something offscreen...]

They weren't kidding when they called them Legendary. Does anyone know anyplace else I can find out more about them? I think I'm running out of references to them in Ecruteak... this place is much more interested in the beasts and the birds. Which are intriguing, but-

[Ilya's interrupted as a Dragonite suddenly swoops down and crashes into Xion. She jumps and whirls around, staring for a brief moment as a Garchomp joins in. Fortunately, there aren't any fighting sounds following it...]

Er, Xion, are you alright? [She glances at the gear.] Excuse me a moment everyone, I think I have to go save my traveling partner...

[The gear clicks off.]

[OOC: Responses will come fairly quickly, Xion's Pokemon are just being overly affectionate. Xion and Ilya are both available to respond to this post, though Ilya will be fielding pretty much everything that isn't "are you okay, Xion?"]

[Denzel is sitting in mostly darkness, however thanks to the computer glow and another dim light, his white shirt and glasses at least reflect and a very slight outline of his silhouette. Leaning more forwards, his glasses gleam in a notorious way.]

And what city would this be? Mmmm?

[After a brief moment of silence on Ilya's end while she extricates one befuddled replica from her dragons, the video clicks back on...

And she looks profoundly unimpressed.]

You must have missed the part of my post where I mentioned the name "Ecruteak". Surely you've heard of it. It's the city just north of Goldenrod, often mentioned as one of the best places to learn about legends in Johto.

Yes,I did. You had me at these - POKEMON [There's that slight spasm exclamation] Can manipulate time and space.

[There's a pause as Crocker mumbles to himself and appears to be overlapping his hands in a devious manner in the shadows.] These Pokemon are becoming more and more like those fairies at home. I need to learn more if I'm going to complete my project...

[The man's vocal returns to his usual]

No, actually. Can't say that I have heard about Ecruteak. [There's the sound of Crocker leaning back in his chair.]

Tell me, what does this legend say about these Pokemon, mmm?

[YES HELLO PINGED IN SO VERY MANY WAYS]

Ecruteak?

Ah, pardon me. I am rather fond of myths and legends myself, and as I am about to move on to the next city, I was debating requesting information on the prime locations to learn of such things in this world. There are so many mysteries to these pokemon after all... surely they were seen as gods in the past, and rightly so if there are those that possess that sort of power.

[Wow, this man must be even older than her grandfather ~~the jerk~~. Still, she's not really the type to discriminate based on that, and if he's interested in what she is, all the better.]

Ah, well if that sort of information is what you're after, Ecruteak is definitely the place to go. A lot of what you'll find is based on the birds Ho-oh and Lugia, and the beasts Entei, Raikou, and Suicune, since this is actually the very place their legends began, but there's interesting pieces about legends from all over the world if you look carefully.

As for them being worshipped as gods, there's a bit of mention of that with Dialga and Palkia, the ones I was showing earlier, but sadly there's not as much information on them as I would have liked. Apparently they come from another region, called Sinnoh. If we could go there I'm sure we could learn much more about them.

I'll definitely look forward to arriving there, then. There is history everywhere you look, but places where myths started tend to be hotbeds of mythological activities and are even more desirable. One myth easily can beget others after all!

That's a shame, but still anything is better than nothing. One never know what one can find, after all. That there's anything here means there may be more complete collections of works from more than simply this region.

Ecruteak has more on the two legendary birds and the three beasts that lived within the towers unfortunately. Most places in Johto have very little information for those two, and like you, I only have what the books tell me.

[Hope though? He knows just a bit of what it's like to mess with time and space.]

[Text, huh? Well, fortunately she's gotten a bit more tech-savvy than she was back home, so it only takes a little bit of time for her to get an answer out.]

I was afraid you'd say that. I'm guessing none of the other cities have anything either?

Not exactly. I've found that if a city has had some history with the legendary Pokemon, they would have the most stories about them, and not much of the rest; like Ecruteak. The rest is detailed in books.

I'm fine! I'm just-- Urgh.

[ Xion tries as best as she can to answer, but it's hard when you have two 7' and over dragons bearing down on your body. Bahamut the Garchomp tries to hook his arms around her neck and pull her onto his side with affectionate rumbles. Roxas the Dragonite is trying to curl his arms around her middle and pull onto his side. ]

Roxas is just... Roxas is just excited 'cause he evolve-- Roxas, no, you can't curl around me anymore.

[ Roxas lets out a whine. He's not as lithe and whiplike in body as he was as a Dragonair. Honestly, the only way Xion can be found among the limbs of dragons is the black among the purple and orange. ]

... Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your broadcast. [ And yet she still finds a way to worry about others. ]

[With a sigh, Ilya releases her own Garchomp.]

Typhon, help her get free.

[Typhon tilts her head one way, then the other, then hops over to give each of them a quick headbutt to the chin before flouncing off to the left, teasing them to follow her.

Well, that's one way to get them off of Xion...]

And don't worry, I was pretty much done anyway. I just hope someone has something interesting to say.
