Back at Jubilife city Aro and Kjolmar waiting in what seemed to be some kind of research facility, much like the Lab back in Sandgem town, only a lot bigger. As they waited for the professor they were introduced to Paul. Aro knew Paul and who he was from a while back. A hot headed trainer out to prove he is the best. In fact Paul would have been an opponent of Aros a long time ago if certain things went the way they should of. Aro added Paul to the list of people who brought back bad memories. Kjolmar turned to Aro and pushed on his earlier questions from the gym that Aro had thought he'd avoided. He took a long breathe in before explaining.

"Ok Kjolmar, remember back at the mine those two freaks that stole the research? Well they were members of Team Galactic. Galactic are a group who promote evil and an unfair relationship between trainers and Pokemon. Cyrus is... Cyrus is their leader" Aro thought it was best he stopped there, he didn't want to let Kjolmar onto too much. After all they were still relatively new partners.
"Now about Apollo." He paused and looked at Luna who smiled at him and nodded. "I don't know wether you know but both Riolu and Lucario are Aura Pokemon. Meaning they can sense emotions and feelings of a person just based off their energy. What's more interesting is that they are able to synchronise auras with a human and communicate through energy alone. However this is often the result of an EXTREMELY strong bond between the pair." He stopped explain for a brief moment to look at Luna once more.

"Me and Luna are able to telepathically communicate using this method. Luna has been with me as long as I can remember so our bond is strong enough. However other Riolu and Lucario can communicate with each other telepathically without that bond. When we were in the mine we heard a strange noise that sounded like a Pokemon growling, we thought we were going mad but I think it was Apollo we could hear, from inside the egg. I could hear him because Luna could but you couldn't because you aren't synced yet. Does that make any sense at all?" Aro felt like he was blabbering and quickly shut up.

"Now my turn, in the professors research there was a drawing of a band and a stone. It looked like a prototype for something, then I saw you and your Gyarados wearing what looked similar. What is that? And why is the professor researching something that you already have?" Aro couldn't deny his curiousity on the subject, he was intrigued.

"Erm..... Aro?" Luna commicated to him in an inquisitive tone. "Your bags moving! Frantically!"

Shocked Aro stood up immediately and opened his back which seemed to furiously jolt in random directions. As he unzipped the bag a orange and red figure flew out the bag. As he peered inside the bag he saw broken egg shell bedding the bottom, he forgot about his egg and it hatched in his bag. He quickly darted towards the fireball shaped creature dashing around the room. 

"Luna try and calm it down!" Aro said, Luna closed his eyes and the figure got slower and slower. 

Aro picked up the Pokémon. It was a Chimchar, who at this point was almost asleep contrasting his state not even thirty seconds ago. Aro quickly pulled out a pokeball and call the Chimchar inside.

"I said calm it down not put it to sleep Luna" he joked smiling.
"I'll give him some time to rest before we meet properly." 

After a few more minutes Rowan came out towards the pair. They handed him his research back and in return the professor asked another favour to do with Team Galactic in Eterna City. They were just starting out and still couldn't catch a break.

"I guess Eterna is where the next gym is anyway so that's where we're heading anyway. We will check it out for you professor. I'll call you from a PokeCentre when we know more." Aro said before heading on his way.

As they walked towards the rugged cave ahead, Aro went into tour guide mode. 

"We have to get through the rugged cave to get to Floroma town, then from there we can make our way to Eterna City. We might get there before dark if we're lucky." He explained.
