Rose's Methods

Which should we prioritize?

Yes. Time is limited.

That applies to these great inventors as well.

The ideas and technology formed by their young talent will eventually wither away. They won't wait for us forever.

But what about the relationship between people and Pokémon?

It can flourish right now, without having to rely on sync stones, wouldn't you say?

Surely we can take our time with that.

Right now, we ought to be researching energy use that could save our future.

That's...

Hey, I don't think Mr. Rose would use sync stones maliciously.

Would it really be that bad for him to be in charge of the sync stones?

The inventions people create will light up the future.

That itself isn't a bad thing.

Um, then why...

Why do you all seem unhappy?

You're all passionate about inventing things, but you don't seem excited at all.

Well, to be honest...

Mr. Rose's request involves a lot of restrictions.

Restrictions? That's not true!

We've no time to play around. We've got to save our future as soon as possible!

And to do that, we must eliminate anything that's useless!

Useless...you say?

Yes, that's correct.

Your ideals aren't necessary right now.

That is, not for the future a millennium from now that I envision.

It seems we're unable to create what Mr. Rose wants...

Yes...

I'm afraid I don't think we can be of further help.

I'm sorry, but please excuse us...

*sigh* How disappointing.

Chairman Rose.

With the way you're going about things, you'll end up limiting sync stones' potential.

That seems clear from your conversation.

What are you, ?!

Your way of doing things shuts other people down.

And with that, your valued partners will drift away.

Your options will start to run out, until eventually you hit a dead end.

Do you really think you can save "the future a millennium from now" like that?

Of course I do.

My experience and accomplishments that made Macro Cosmos a success are proof my methods work.

I see...

If you still don't understand, even after this conversation, there's only one option left.

Since we're both Trainers...

Then instead of using words, we can face each other heart-to-heart!

Are you suggesting we settle this with a Pokémon battle?

Yes.

For you to understand the importance of connecting with others...

I challenge you to a group battle, Chairman!

I don't intend to change my mind, even if I lose.

... ... ...

But I suppose I'll accept, if that's what will satisfy you.

And if I win against you, I can spread word of my ideas on a larger scale.

However, I have you as my opponent.

I'm clearly at a disadvantage when it comes to Pokémon battles.

You wouldn't mind if I brought along some "supporters"...

Would you, Champion Leon?

Bring whoever you'd like. Victory will be mine.

We'll change your mind with our shining brilliance!

Victor, I've gathered some valuable information on the matter you wanted me to look into.

I suppose we saw this coming...but it seems that man is involved.

Then Chairman Rose's "partner" must be...

That's right.

It's Giovanni, the boss of Team Rocket.
