Volkner: Pasio's electrical system has been well-reinforced. It shouldn't be so easy for blackouts to just happen like this.

Volkner: Maybe this is just a prank played by some ghost Pokémon… I hope so, anyway.

Transcript

Volkner: So yeah, this blackout isn't only on me. Something strange is going on.

Agatha: You are correct, child.

Agatha: I don't know where they're coming from, but unusual numbers of Ghost-type Pokémon are gathering here.

Agatha: These old bones can feel it… Something's amiss.

Volkner: You see? Even Bertha agrees with me.

Agatha: Bertha? I'm Agatha! What a rude young man you are, mixing up people's names!

Volkner: Oh, sorry about that. It's so dark here, I can't see all that well.

Lear: … … …

Lear: Volkner…

Lear: You. Did. It. Again! Didn't you?!

Volkner: W-wait a second!

Volkner: …Ok, yes—I was fiddling with machines, but not even I would make enough mistakes to cause THIS many blackouts!

Volkner: And weren't YOU the one who reinforced Pasio's electrical systems specifically to avoid outages like these happening?

Lear: Well… Yes, I suppose that's true.

Transcript

Volkner: It's easy to get caught up in tinkering with machines, always needing to adjust something… I'm sure you understand.

Volkner: It's great if it leads to an improvement, but that's not often the case…

Volkner: So, make sure you can revert any changes in case anything goes wrong, OK?

Transcript

Volkner: What do you think about the machines here on Pasio? They're interesting, huh?

Volkner: Soon after I arrived here, I found an unusual machine in town. I tried to so some renovations to it…

Volkner: but that caused a partial power outage. I got quite an earful from the PML staff afterward.

Volkner: But to tell you the truth, seeing how mad they got about it just made me even more curious about the kinds of machines they have here.

Transcript

Volkner: I used to renovate my Gym all the time back in Sinnoh.

Volkner: I ended up using so much electricity that it caused blackouts all over the city. I got so many complaints…

Transcript

Volkner: I was invited to join the Elite Four once when I was in Sinnoh, but I had to turn them down.

Volkner: They told me in no uncertain terms that I couldn't renovate the Pokémon League building, so I lost interest.

Volkner: Well, no, I just thought that I'd rather be a Gym Leader where I could meet ordinary folks.

Transcript

Bertha: At any rate… Is there no chance the power will come back on soon?

Lear: Probably not… If it isn't Volkner's tinkering that caused this, it may take some time to fix.

Lear: I'd expect us to be stuck in the dark for a while.

Bertha: I see. We'd best be careful, then.

Agatha: Indeed. After all, those you encounter in the darkness may not all be of this world…

Agatha: Be very careful if you speak to anyone today, [player name]…
