[Lupa considers that for a few moments.]

What happens when someone is wounded to the point of death? Is there anyone that would know?

[crystalmaster]

I'm not sure how we know people don't die at all. Someone must have died and didn't sometime in the past, but I don't know who it would have been. There's a few people who've been here quite a few years. They might know something.

[papacerberus]

[Lupa nods]

And everyone who has been brought here is able to receive and respond to this communication device, correct? I can ask openly in that case.

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, that's probably the best way to reach out. Everyone who's currently here should see it.

[papacerberus]

Then I will ask.

[But not right now.]

Thank you, for your assistance.

[crystalmaster]

Sure. Let me know if there's anything else I might be able to help with.

[papacerberus]

I will listen to any advice you have to give to a new arrival.

[It looks like he might be starting to say something else beginning with r, but changes it to arrival.]

[crystalmaster]

Hmm. Well, a lot of the areas between towns are isolated, but some more than others. After Violet City, there's different roads you can take. The Southern path goes through a cave and then to another town. There's a huge forest on the other side of that town. The Northern path goes down a short road and gets you to a town much quicker. Sometimes there's a fake tree Pokemon blocking that road, but that hasn't happened much lately.

[papacerberus]

Is there a reason to go to the town to the south? What are the defenses of these places? This place I woke up in had none.

[crystalmaster]

Probably not unless you just wanna see everything or if you especially like Slowpokes. That's a kind of Pokemon. They're pretty cute, but I haven't braved the Southern path yet. I went North, through the next town that way, down into the National Park, and into Goldenrod City. That's the biggest urban hub here.

[papacerberus]

Who is in control of that territory of Goldenrod? Or any of the territories here? How is this place ruled?

[crystalmaster]

... That's a good question. I think these places have mayors, but there's nothing like governors or presidents or armies, as far as I know. You asked about the defenses, but I think there's just natural defenses like the caves and forests, and territorial Pokemon. There aren't any wars, but there is a criminal organization called Team Rocket. They steal Pokemon, so you'll need to watch out for them if you can. A lot of their members are secret.

[papacerberus]

It is very different from what I am used to. I don't know what I am supposed to be here. I was a soldier and that was all.

[crystalmaster]

I felt pretty lost at first too. I'm a businessman and a biker. I was pretty out of my element when I was plopped here. I think I'm settling in now that I'm getting a business going again.

They do have a police force, but I'm not sure if there's open applications for that.... I might want a security guard, if you'd be up for that.

[papacerberus]

Will it involve killing? I no longer wish to do that. But I can protect and defend, if necessary.

[crystalmaster]

I hope not. Protecting and defending is more what I'm after. I'm opening an Eevee sanctuary and it might end up a prime target for Team Rocket.

[He holds up his first Eevee, Evie.]

They're pretty valuable and sought-after Pokemon.

["Eevee!" chirps Evie.]

In addition to just looking adorable, they can ultimately change into eight different Pokemon. Glaceon is one of them.

[papacerberus]

I would be happy to protect them, I think.

[He isn't sure of the concept of 'value' on a life, but protecting a small and fragile life is important.]

[crystalmaster]

Great! I'll keep the job open for you until you get here. It'll probably take you a few days to get here to Goldenrod, if you wanna start out for it right away.

[papacerberus]

Thank you. I will head for Goldenrod then.

[crystalmaster]

Let me know when you get close and I'll watch for you!
