What's the time?

Nobody knows. The only clock I saw recently was in my house, and even then that thing was gathering dust.

I'd say it was around... 2 am. I don't know, don't chastise me for being so bad with the time. It was pretty dark, and already the plaza began settling down. All I knew what to do was to finish what Davis couldn't do. I couldn't let my emotions run rampant and end up harming my only... well, I'd use the term 'acquaintances' since I barely knew them. However, they were my team, and being in one I had the most fun I ever had in my entire life. More than Sitrus berry hunting.

I was sitting down on the bench, watching as a few clouds began clumping together in the moonlit sky. [i]Weather. What season is it again?[/i] Looks like rain would come, depending if more clouds began mashing together in light of the torch-lit city and moon. I scratched my back with my third magnet, appreciating the fact that it was useful for something. I spied as the last Pokemon began leaving the plaza, packing it's stall and using it's giant, draconic arms to carry most of its things.

...and then, I knew. I was exposed in the emptiness. Realising the danger of this, I had began floating upwards and towards a local hotel, which didn't seem particularly new yet had the distinctive smell. Just as I was about to enter, I was snatched and thrown onto the ground. [i]Yeah, I KNEW that would bloody happen.[/i] My pupil flared as I rolled myself across the cobble, accidentally colliding into a tree as I saw my aggressor - a Porygon. However, it wasn't... a shadow Pokemon, or anything similar.

And then, it just vanished into an alley just beside it, faster than me blinking. It wasn't that weird one I encountered in Arnold's Guild. I didn't get the message it was trying to send. Was it saying to stay away from Desia, or...? I wouldn't be hindered either way. Davis was dead, and now I would have to avenge him by finishing his purpose. Exhaling (which wasn't what I normally did until the onset of that... twitching magnet), I had jumped forwards before settling at level in the air, which would allow me to enter the hotel.

Inside... well, it was definitely late. Lights just went out, only being filled a lone candle in the air... "Argh!" Looks like I had accidentally scared someone.

"What are you, with those scars and... mother of Arceus, what are you doing at this time?" Well. This Pokemon certainly didn't match the usual accent I had encountered in Scale City. I had taken a brief second to interpret his sentence.

"More like, 'what the hell have I been through lately?' I need a room, but by the looks of this place... I don't have a million Pokes." Funnily enough, a Honedge I would meet later on would say the exact same sentence, except he went 'I have a million Pokes.'

"Yeah... well, I've got a room for 50. It's called the 'Cheap-o' room, so what do you say?" Where did my Pokes go... oh, they were dangling by the end of my third magnet. I still didn't carry a bag for some reason. "Come on, I don't have all night. My wife's been nagging me to get more sleep lately." The Pokemon slurred. I couldn't really see its face, because the candle just went out.

Thankfully, improvising a source of light, I began crackling a few arcs of electricity. That may have woken one or two Pokemon up, but hey, at least I was able to pay after seeing the owner. Rather briefly, since his face was blurred by jumping up.

After exchanging the goods (a key for me, 50 Pokes for him), I had left for my room. I couldn't see in the dark, because unfortunately the clouds began to block the moonlight. So, I just slept on the floor. I didn't need a bed or anything.

I would get a decent surprise in the morning.
