Negotiations with Cyrus

Please, Cyrus...

Won't you help us?

I fail to understand your intent here. Explain in more detail.

We think someone's trying to use Arceus's power for evil.

So if that happens, we'll need you and your partner Pokémon, Palkia, to lend us your strength.

Lucas has Dialga, and Cynthia has Giratina...

If all three Pokémon work together, we can hold our ground, even if we have to battle Arceus!

Battle Arceus? Preposterous.

Why are you even worried that could happen?

Are you implying someone's trying to make Arceus theirs?

Well...

We saw some movement from Team Rocket.

Given their goals, we suspect their next target is Arceus.

Should I consider that information a tip-off from the International Police?

I suppose that does sound like something they'd think of.

(Phew! Thanks!)

You might already know that Arceus is said to be the creator of all things.

Even in Hisui, I knew someone who thought of using Arceus's power to create their ideal world.

We can't let that happen!

That's why we need your help!

I understand the situation, but that's not reason enough for me to team up with you.

Huh?!

If their aim is to control Arceus to recreate the world into something complete...

then we have the same desire.

And that would oppose your philosophy, as you do not wish Arceus used in such a way.

But...

Hold on a sec. Cyrus, if you also want to get ahold of Arceus's power...

then even more so, you'd want to stop Arceus from falling into others' hands.

Cooperating is mutually beneficial.

Even if Team Rocket is on the move again, Team Galactic is well equipped to handle them on our own.

There's no need to risk showing our hand to someone we may oppose in the future.

I am done with this discussion.

...OK.

Thanks for hearing us out, Cyrus.

(But I still have faith...)

(I'm sure, if it's Team Galactic...)

Nice to meet you. You must be Cyrus, the boss of Team Galactic.

Could I bother you for a bit of your time?
