Whispering Shadows

I see. So Chairman Rose said all that...

I hope he doesn't try to use force again...

Force?

Oh, I guess I should tell the two of you about him...

In the past, Chairman Rose caused the Darkest Day to happen again in Galar.

The Darkest Day?

Yeah, he awakened Eternatus and tried to use its energy to solve Galar's problems.

Wait, didn't Eternatus, ?

Yeah, Eternatus caused that incident in which Dynamax Pokémon were rampaging on Pasio.

The exact same thing happened in Galar. Dynamax Pokémon went on a rampage and caused a lot of damage...

As a result, the Chairman Rose we know took responsibility by turning himself over to the police.

But the Chairman Rose that's here now doesn't seem to remember any of it...

I see. That's why you're worried he might do the same thing again.

Yeah, but I think...

that we share the same desire to create a brighter future for Galar and the world.

I don't want us to repeat the same tragedy by working at cross-purposes.

Even if Chairman Rose does try something, I don't think he'll be able to do anything impactful.

He's only just come to Pasio, so I don't think he has the unique facilities he'd need for his research...

Above all, I've been managing my sync stone research data with extra care, since Giovanni has been coming after it.

I see...

(I do hope nothing happens...)

They have a way to save the future right in front of them!

Why are they dragging their feet?!

I must provide limitless energy to ensure everlasting prosperity for everyone...

It is my purpose, my duty, my destiny!

I need to do something as soon as possible, for our future!

Even if I become hated for it.

That spirit...

I can see you are a man of remarkable caliber.

And you are...?

Just like you, I also lead an organization.

I know a way to extract sync stones' power.

But I can't seem to find a better way to use that power...

So, how about it? Interested in working together?

I don't think it's a good idea to listen to this suspicious man, Mr. Rose.

It doesn't matter who he is, Oleana.

If we're to protect the future, we can't be picky about our methods.

Wise decision.

I must gain management over all sync stones, even if I have to be somewhat aggressive.

Hmm...

To do that, you'd need to own Pasio, the only place where you can find these sync stones.

Yes, I suppose that's true.

What a wonderful plan.

For the time being, let's not share this with your acquaintances from Galar...

And let us proceed...in secret.
