There was no need for Jason to be face-to-face with the professor. He could already feel the man squinting at him through the phone with an utter look of disbelief. [color=ed1c24]"Do you genuinely think that I don't have automated systems put in place that notify me when I'm away from my computer? Or that I don't have any staff to assist me? I'm not some hermit that lives in his lab and only has his work."[/color] There was a hint of aggravation as if he was even insulted by the insinuation that Jason made. That and it seemed like it was Jason was avoiding the question. However, there was a thoughtful silence from Kapoc's end as he mulled over what Jason said.

[color=ed1c24]"There are those who have presented that idea before. It's actually a pretty logical leap though it doesn't align entirely with what we know about it through other legends and accounts throughout the world. The Night Touched phenomenon is entirely unique to Evig." [/color] There was another moment of silence though he could hear a light thumping of fingers against a desk in the background. [color=ed1c24]"Should I be suspicious that you came to that conclusion after I discovered you found Celebi or is that purely a coincidence?"[/color]

And there he waited for Jason to respond. How would he respond?

Yup, that was the reaction that she expected from Steph. The Galarian girl almost emitted a shockwave from her eagerness to go deeper into the woods though to her surprise Steph showed restraint. Honestly, it amazed her that this wild girl that would throw hands and jump into a sewer could show this sort of self-control though it was probably because she did not want to put the life of a young girl at risk or something to that effect. Freya fought the urge to frown at this. Of all times Steph had to show restraint, it had to be now?

The problem was that Freya could not actually argue against her logic. She just stood there, anticipating for Amelia to backout, but much to her surprise she actually said what she wanted to do.

[color=ed145b]There was some spine in the girl after all,[/color] she muttered to herself with a smile.

When the question of where Dusk the Litwick arose, Freya partially held her hand up.[color=ed145b]"Oh I can answer that actually. Cedric told me about it."[/color] It made sense with Professor Kapoc being her brother and all that. [color=ed145b]"All of our starters were bred by Ruey, save for mine since that was a gift from Cedric. Ruey has a ranch a bit up north where she is breeding Pokemon to help repopulate the populations damaged the most by Cipher. The data we gather is actually being used to help Ruey keep track of the populations of wild Pokemon,"[/color] Freya explained with great satisfaction. One should take pride in their work, especially if it was for the greater good. 

However, that was off topic. There were more important things at hand. [color=ed145b]"That's enough exposition though. We've got some ghosts to track. Do you guys want to prepare before we go deeper in?"[/color]

What do they do?
