"Rustboro's that way" > Somewhere between here and Fallarbor, Mason Adams glanced back down the tunnel behind him as his tram sped foward. The blaring klaxxons had been muffled by the large, metal barriers that now prevented a return trip down the underground tunnel. He was beginning to think he was better off fleeing after all. Having his fill of watching rocks and granite pass by his window, Mason took out a PokeBall and released Artemis, his Ralts. She glared at him from the seat across from him. #Well, I hope you have a better opinion of me now,# Mason said through their shared telepathic channel. #What the Hell are you talking about?# Artemis demanded. #I helped facilitate their escape,# Mason replied. #That is what you wanted, right?# #Some help you were. First, I didn't need to be that close to the Girafarig to tell him my plan.# #Ah, you wouldn't have even considered that if I didn't go to see him.# #Second, you didn't even try to lend a hand.# #I was keeping a low profile.# #Third, you were planning on fighting them in order to capture them again.# #Gotta keep up appearances.# #If you were trying to impress me by pretending to secretly be some goody-two-shoes, you've failed miserably.# #I do what I can.# #You do what you can to cover your own ass. You do whatever the Admins tell you so they don't kick you out of their little club.# #Not true. I didn't let the Admins have you for their breeding program. If I didn't catch you, you'd probably be lying face-down in a cage by now.# #I would've escaped.# #Yeah, yeah.# #Maybe I'll escape right now.# "Nah, you're not going anywhere." #And why not?# "You have too much respect for me to run off." #I'd die laughing if I wasn't so insulted.# "Oh it's true all right. You can sense my elite training skills. You know that I can teach you so much about Pokemon combat, and you're stickin' around so you can get a peice of the action." #Wishful thinking. I'm just sticking around so I can stab your face off when you least expect it for trapping me in this guilded cage.# "You say that." #I mean that.# Mason glanced out the window. The view was still nothing but rock and granite. "Artemis," he said after a moment of silence. "Do you think the Admins are hiding something from me?" "Ralt <you>," Artemis cursed. "Seriously. There's something they're not telling me. When I get to Fallarbor, I'm going to look into my records, see if I've lived up to their hype." #Whatever. I'll bet you were a total pansy before you lost your memories.# "I'll take you up on that. I'm having some doubt about who they say I am, and I think I have you to thank for it." "Ralts?"
