Hello everyone! Shadow, my traveling partner, and I have made it to Cherrygrove! I’m one step closer to you all! [Her good mood only seems to be increasing as she

It is a shame you have arrived in November. Cherrygrove's beach was an absolute delight during the warmer days.

[usedsubstitute]

That is too bad...I've never been to a beach before...I'm sure it's lovely in the summer.

Pardon me, but who am I speaking with?

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

It is, and the Pokémon living in the water are quite interesting.

I apologize for forgetting my manners. My name is Cecil Harvey. With whom do I have the pleasure to speak?

[video]

[usedsubstitute]

Pokemon...under the water?

Ah, hello Mr. Harvey. My name is Sister Iris, but you can just call me Iris if you like.

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

Yes. There are fish, jellyfish, starfish... A wide variety of aquatic creatures, really.

It is an honor to meet you, Sister Iris. Are you enjoying your stay in Johto?

[video]

[usedsubstitute]

I had no idea. I'll have to take a look around while I'm here.

And you as well Mr. Harvey. Y-Yes, I've already met so many nice people. My stay has been very pleasant. How has your stay been?

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

It would be well worth the time. The Magikarps in particular are hard to work with at first, but once well-raised they become powerful water dragons.

My stay has been quite wonderful. This world has allowed me to see friends I had been separated from seventeen years ago. That outweights any negative experience I might have.

[usedsubstitute]

I see....Water dragons? Oh dear...This world is so very strange..

That's good to hear! I've also found a friend that I had lost contact with...although, he doesn't know me.

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

It is. But I find it to be a good kind of strange.

Is it due to timeline troubles? Does he come from a time before you meet?

[video]

[usedsubstitute]

...Well that's good I suppose. I will be sure to keep your advice in mind. [She smiles.]

Ah...not exactly. We...had a bit of a misunderstanding.

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

Misunderstandings are always sad affairs. Will you be fine?

[video]

[usedsubstitute]

T-They are. Please don't worry about me. I'll be just fine. [She smiles, although it's obviously forced.]

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

[He sees that smile, though he knows it is not his place to ask. But-] ...To many people here, this world is a second chance. All we have to do is take it.

[video]

[usedsubstitute]

A second chance...Mr. Harvey, do you really believe that's true? I've only seemed to make things worse...I'm afraid...I'm afraid he hates me now...

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

I think... that as long as you are sincere, and as long as you are willing to work for it, everyone can acheive redemption. It might be hard at first, but it can be reached.

Besides, in my experience, people are more likely to forgive others than they are to forgive themselves. So even if you think you'll be hated... there is a good chance that person doesn't feel that way. You just need to be open with them, and to accept their reactions as they come.

[usedsubstitute]

I...I hope what you say is true. [Iris smiles.] That's why I went to Hazakura Temple. I'm afraid I've committed some terrible sins. It is my dream that someday, my soul will be pure again.

Open up to him...[She shakes her head.] That is something I can't do. The situation is...precarious at best.
