>gruntA:”It’s him! It’s Violet Lang!”
>GruntB:”Aah! Exactly like in the wanted poster!”

>GruntA:”Violet will soon be entering Medali.”
>GruntB:”It seems like he has no intention of raiding the Navi squad.”

>GruntA:”It seems like the plan for our coup hasn't been leaked.”
>GruntB:”Alright! Let’s start our raid now that there isn’t anyone in our way.”

>GruntC:”Th-this is tagtree thicket’s navi squad security team!”
>GruntA:”What is it?”

>GruntC:”V-violet Lang just showed up!”
>GruntA:”Wha-what did you just saaaaaay!?”

>GruntC:”There is no mistaking it! He has the same appearance as when he raided the schedar squad.”
>GruntC:”The chick with the ponytail is also there!”

>grunts:”W-what is the meaning of this?”

>Grunts:”Which one is the real Violet Lang?”

>Grunt:(Darn, is she going to tell someone about the plan for our coup?)

>Grunt:(There are only wild pokemon around here from the looks of it. If I want to attack her I should do it now.)
>Grunt:(I’ll confine her until our plan succeeded….)

>Arven:”The quaking earth titan appeared!?”
>Arven:”We have to hurry to the Asado desert!”

>Prince:”No need to rush, Arven.”

>Prince:”There is also Cassiopeia’s other matter,”
>Prince:”What’s this about raiding team star’s poison crew the navi squad’s base immediately?”

page 7
>Cass:”the underlings who are a trouble even within team star and act like  big shot delinquents, ”
>Cass:”I managed to catch them coming up with a plan to sow discord internally.”

>Cass:”Before Violet can start his raid,”
>Cass:”They are planning on beating the boss and taking over the poison crew themselves.”

>Nemona:”But even if they do that the prince will at some point start his own raid, so there is no point to it…”

>Cass:”If the boss isn’t there anymore the raids will become void.”

>Cass:”they intend to beat the remaining bosses of the fairy crew the ruchbah squad and the fighting crew the Caph squad,”
>Cass:”So that there will be no more reason for us outsiders to attack them.”

Arven:”I see,  so the delinquents want to put in place a new system that is convenient for them.”

>Nemo:”....”
page 8
>Nemo:”I’ll go.”
>Nemo:”I’ll do the raid in the prince’s stead. So Prince and Arven you go on and defeat the titan.”

>Nemo:”That’s okay right?”
>Cass:”U-uhm..”

>Prince:”well…., seems like someone developed a taste for the star barrage.”
>Nemo:”N-no you’re wrong! I mean there is also that, but….”

>Nemo:”Just look at the underlings from the schedar squad.”
>Nemo:”How should I put this…., they were really frail….,”

>Nemo:”They were all huddling up together and protecting each other so they wouldn’t get hurt anymore…., that is how they looked to me.”
>Nemo:”It seemed like the base was the only place where they could feel at peace.”

>Nemo:”If the internal discord will rob those people from the place where they can be in peace then,”
>Nemo:”I have to put a firm stop to it.”

page 9
>Nemo:”Let’s go, Letty!”
>Letty:”This has nothing to do with me.”

>Nemo:”No!”
>Nemo:”I decided to stick close to you after all.”

>Nemo:”I have no reason to comply with something you decided on.”

>Nemo:”.. the truth is, When you stole…., I mean borrowed Miraidon from the prince without permission as I thought you wouldn’t…, it didn’t really sit right with me. ”

>Nemo:”How should I say this…, it just doesn’t feel right when a friend does something like that…. ”


page 9
>Letty:”Way before I ever even met you,”
>Letty:”I lived my life as a treasure hunter.”

>Letty:”I don’t remember every single detail, but”
>Letty:”Who knows how many times I did something to complete a request that doesn’t sit right with you. ”
>Letty:”You shouldn’t stick close to someone like me, rather you should distance yourself from them.”

>Letty:”I don’t feel like adhering to whatever image you have of a best friend and rival”

>Nemo:”........”
>Nemo:”That’s…. only natural.”

>Nemo:”Just from how you looked and behaved I selfishly pushed my expectations on to you and then selfishly got disillusioned,  ”
>Nemo:”even though I hate it when that happens to me.”
>Nemo:”Things like [You’re not actually like that!] and [You’re actually a good person!] …I pushed that on to you.”

page 11
>Nemo:”But that being said Letty, since you were all alone you were in a position where you didn’t have a choice, but to dirty your hands, However  ”
>Nemo:”If I…..no, if WE are here wouldn’t it be possible to look for ways where you don’t have to resort to that? That is what I think at least!”

>Nemo:”That’s why….,”
>nemo:”I will stick close to you!”

>Cass:”Scarlet, I want to make a request again on behalf of my organisation.”

>Cass:”I want you to raid team star.”


page 12
>Letty:”I already refused.”
>Nemo:”Okay! Then I want to make a request!”

>Nemo:”Go raid together with me!”
>Letty:”I refuse.”

>Prince:”Then how about a request from me.”
>Prince:”Do the raid in my stead.”

>Letty:”Are you guys messing with me?”
>Arven:”It’s also a request from me. How about the reward being one of Arven’s special sandwiches!”
>Letty:”.....”

>Letty:”I accept.”

page 13
>Nemo:”alright!”
>Letty:”However, I am only filling in for Violet Lang this one time.”

>Letty:”There is one thing I want to confirm.”

>Letty:”I stole your Miraidon, yet”
>Letty:”You say you are still going to let me know when Miraidon regains its full power and are even going to lend it to me. Why?”

>Prince:”Two of my best friends Arven and Nemona put their trust in you.”
>Prince:”The best friend of my best friend is my best friend as well. It’s only natural to answer when your best friend calls for help.”


page 14
>Letty:”The request I accepted,”
>Letty:”It could bring harm to all of Paldea you know?”

>Prince:”The four of us are all best friends.”
>Prince:”And the four of us defeated the titan.”

>Prince:”Just like nemo said if any one of us is faced with a problem then,”
>Prince:”We’ll all face it together as friends. Does that satisfy you?”

>Rotom:”My Prince, that was very well said! It made me very happy!”

>Letty:”What does Miraidon think?”

sfx:”pata pata”

>Nemo:”Seems like Miraidon has no objections. ”
>Arven:”She is the trainer that taught him through showering him with non-stop sandwiches afterall.”

>Letty:”Are you okay with this?”

page 15
>Arven:”putting aside Violet branding us as best friends, ”
>Arven:”I just think it’s a good idea to have the cooperation of someone as skilled as you.”

>Letty:”you goody two shoes are unbelievable.”

>Letty:”That’s how it is.”

>Cass:”.....”

>Letty:”What’s wrong? Did they hang up?”

>Cass:”ah… no, ”

>GruntB:”Huh!? Why are you in a place like that?”
>GruntA:”N-nevermind that, our plan possibly got exposed!”

>gruntB:”What? To the boss?”
>GruntA:”That chick that wiretapped us, she’s bad news!”

page 17
>GruntB:”What do you mean?”
>GruntA:”The thing is this and that, such and so…..”

>GruntB:”Then there is a big chance someone Violet Lang knows informed him.”
>GruntA:”Yeah!”

>GruntB:”Should we keep him away by ambushing him like we did with the schedar squad!?”
>GruntB:”While we send over the remnants of the dark crew, fire crew and maybe even our allies from the fairy crew and fighting crew we’ll mobilize to start our raid ahead of him!”

>GruntA:”...No, wait.”

>GruntB:”What’s up?”


> GruntA:"...."

>Grunt:"We'll talk later.”

>Den:”I would have remembered her for sure if she had the best grades in battling after Nemona.”

>Clavell:”But, according to the records she has a perfect attendance…,”
>Clavell:”The one one grading her should have been you, Dendra-sensei. And you didn’t say anything about it during the demonstration battle either…”

>Den:”I mean it was, because of her appearance.”
>Den:”I just figured she didn’t wear a helmet during classes.”

>Den:”But, a student like the one Raifort-sensei talked about, I don’t remember anyone like that being there..”

>Raifort:”kukuku She is in our records, but not in our memories, huh. Maybe she is a ghost student?”

>Den:”G-ghost!?”

page 21
>Den:”Thyme-sensei, you can see ghosts right!? Did you sense anything?”
>Thyme:”But you saw her too, Dendra-sensei.”
>Den:”I did see her! Does that mean I can sense spirits too?”

>Prince:”I am completely fine.”
>Prince:”Some people with unusual tastes buy and sell stones and trees with patterns drawn on them by Shroodle and Grafaiai.”
>Prince:”I got used to it during the countless times I collected them for a request I accepted.”

>Nemo:”I already thought so when we were in Levincia, but”
>Nemo:”Letty really gets into it when she roleplays.”
[Letty started using Violet’s speech patterns including the unusual way he says “I”]

>Nemo:”I get the feeling like we keep circling back to the same place…”

>Prince:”One of your sandwiches would have been fine.”
>Arven:”I spent the whole day yesterday making them. I wanna take a break today.”

>Arven:”More importantly the treasure eatery here, is a well renowned place that even rivals the kofu lounge, it is said that it is a must to eat here if you come to Paldea.”

>Arven:”The kofu lounge ofcourse is an extremely high class place, so you can’t just go there whenever.”

>Prince:”Is that so?”
>Prince:”Then there must be a Kofu lounge, that isn’t the one I go to every week to eat with my parents.

>Arven:”ah, yeah sure.”

>Arven:”If that’s the case then that’s all the more reason we need to eat here! I’d absolutely love to have a taste of a renowned restaurant that is made for the common masses afterall! ”

>Arven:”What!?”

>Waiter:”He said he was going to use the route that crosses the Asado desert, since the titan hasn’t shown up lately…”

>Arven:”Did he not know there have been sightings of the earth quaking titan being back!? ”
>Arven:”Maybe he is caught in a standstill while passing through…, or maybe he wasn’t careful and got attacked….!! ”


page 32
>Prince:”If that is the case let us seek that junior of yours.”

>Prince:”Indeed.”
>Arven:”oh, it became a rumor.”

>Larry:”I need to keep an eye out for information on strong trainers for my job after all.”


page 33
>Larry:”However, among those who tell tales of their own bravery there are quite a few who tell lies about their bravery.”
[There is a pun going on. He says buyuu wo kataru mono which means those who tell tales of their braveries and then follows up with buyuu wo kataru mono, but in this case kataru means lying instead of narrating/telling tales. so keep that in mind. ]
>Larry:”Just one thing, would you allow me to test out your capabilities? ”


>Prince:”You, who are you?”
>Larry:”My apologies.”
