Fateful Reunion

Volo, I'm going to just ask straight out.

Did you cause the space-time rift on Pasio? Did you make the sync stones ultimate appear?

Indeed I did...

That's what I wish I could say, but none of that was my doing.

Back in Hisui, I was able to take advantage of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina's power.

However, it seems I'm not able to do the same here on Pasio.

Given that, wouldn't you agree that my options are limited?

In other words, the strange events happening now are purely driven by Arceus's will!

And I heard Arceus's voice! Which means...

Oh, but more importantly...

It seems like Arceus didn't choose you in the end either, eh?

...

Savoring the silence, are we? Very well, then.

Rei, I won't let this opportunity escape me.

This time, I'll be the victor! I'll wield the power of Arceus!

So...you still haven't given up on using Arceus's power to make the world the way you want it?

Precisely.

Unfortunately, you and I have conflicting views.

Do as you please. Perhaps try to stop me by exposing my motives to the people of this land?

OK... Fine.

You know what? I won't tell anyone about your true motives.

What?

Your dream's dangerous. Really dangerous.

But even if I got everyone to try to stop you by force, you still wouldn't give up.

And it wouldn't really solve anything either.

That's why I'm not telling anyone yet.

I haven't given up on trying to change your mind.

...

But if you ever try to hurt anyone on Pasio, I'll stop you.

Oho, so you're placing some trust in me, then?

I do hope you don't regret it.

...

Hey, Rei.

Oh, you're the guy with the International Police... Paulo?

Sorry.

I overheard your conversation.

Oh...

You're going to tell Looker and the others, aren't you?

No.

I'll keep quiet about Volo.

You sure?

Yeah.

Whatever his beliefs are, we don't know that Volo has done anything wrong on Pasio so far.

Besides...

I don't think using power to eliminate wrongdoers will really stop bad things from happening.

I want to support you and your choices.

And I bet Looker and the others would say the same.

Paulo...

By the way, do the others from Hisui know about Volo's true motives?

Yeah, a few of them do...

Ah, I see.

That means only a handful of people are aware of the situation and could help if you needed it.

So if there's anything I can do, let me know, OK? I'll help as much as I can!

Sure! Thanks!
