Shadow of Lies

Yo, Scottie!

Hey, Paulo, Tina. Where are you off to in such a hurry?

Blue? What are you doing here?

I thought you had your hands full with Team Rocket...

Haha! Team Rocket? We already took care of those losers!

Guess we didn't need your help after all!

... ... ...

We're having a party to celebrate! Wanna join?

Oh, that's good news.

Actually, we were looking for Professor Oak... Is he already at the party?

Oh, Gramps?

Yeah, he's there, having fun, even though he's an old geezer.

Yeah!

Yeah!

We just left Professor Oak!

I'm guessing you came to take out Scottie, since [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he's" F="she's" ] a thorn in your side?

Bah! So you figured it out.

You're right! Well done seeing through me!

I suppose this little ruse was a failure.

Trickery was a waste of time. You should've just taken them down by force.

I dunno...it was kinda fun, playing a champion of justice!

Ugh! Even the pretty-boy executive showed up!

Well...now that you've seen through our disguises, Scottie...

I guess we're gonna have to do this the hard way! Too bad for you!

Not on my watch!

Oh? And what do you expect to do without Hoopa's power?

Why don't you just hide behind Scottie like the little weakling you are?

Hold up!

We'll play with ya!

Huh?

Wait...aren't you two the leaders of Team Aqua and Team Magma?!

Hate to break it to ya, but our only goal right now is to protect Pasio.

Shocked, are you? Then we have further news you'll like even more.

We're not the only ones. Other organizations are also joining the battle all over Pasio!

You've become the common enemy, one that transcends ideals and beliefs.

Wait, seriously?

It started as an alliance to stop Team Break from getting too out of hand.

...

Paulo.

Avenging ourselves on you isn't on our agenda.

After all, we're not so different from you.

We had strong beliefs that once led us down the wrong path.

We couldn't just stand by and watch you repeat our mistakes.

We've got more life experience than you, kiddo, so we were gonna show you just how wrong you were, but...

Lookin' at your face now, I can tell you don't need that anymore.

Maxie... Archie...

That's all we've got to say. Don't you kids have something to take care of?

You've got a world to save, one where people and Pokémon can live together in happiness!

Right!

Thanks, you two!

You aren't the only ones who possess the power of Legendary Pokémon. Are you sure you still want to do this?

Yeah, I hope you don't end up regretting making an enemy out of Team Rocket!

You heard the man, Archie. Please don't make an embarrassment of yourself.

Psssht! Right back at'cha!

Don't go messin' things up on my watch, Maxie!
