Ace took out his phone, “Rotom, take notes,” A Rotom possessed phone levitated in the air, “It’s ten past twelve at night, the ship’s swimming pool’s been frozen solid. ” he continued as Rotom snapped pictures. “Within the pool is a machine. I’ve deduced the water was intentionally frozen to cause the machine to malfunction. Could it be a generator?” Rotom zoomed around capturing the scene. “I was attacked by an aggressive Pokemon. There are no wild Pokemon on the SS Lugia which means… I’ve in fact been attacked by a trainer.” Rotom buzzed in surprise. “There are two suspicious trainers, potentially more.” Rotom circled Daniel and Jonathan’s faces like an enormous mosquito. A red light lit up the smoke cloud surrounding Avalugg. As it cleared, a masked figure wearing a black body contoured jump suit appeared. The mask was golden, ornate and bejeweled. Avalugg returned to its trainer’s luxury ball, held in a shimmering gauntlet.[/colour] [colour=50ecf6][hr][center][hider=99+ New Messages]"The mask! The glove!

A glitching Lugia rose through the icey lake. The opening ceremony’s holographic showcase had been triggered.[/colour]
