Ch03: What's the Damage?

2023-12-22 - Totally Normal Bulletin Board - Completed

Archie heads to the bulletin board and stumbles upon Nova sleeping in the outskirts of the small tent community formed around it. After (unsuccessfully) attempting to get Nova to return to town, Archie explains what he's been up to the interim. Nova also describes some stuff about Mew and Mewtwo and his working with them, despite not directly naming them. He also offers Archie some theories about Shadow power, with the caveat they're based on his experiences back home.

Public notes

-Nova created a single shadow-type in his world.
-Nova's guesses about Shadow:
1) Shadowing involves "shutting away what makes a pokémon themselves."
2) If pokémon can "open their hearts to one another through battle" on Forlas, then by opening their hearts to Shadow 'mons (again, through battle), the team might be able to loosen or undo the seals. The mystery light power may also help with this.
3) Showing fear toward Shadows may make it easier for them to take hold of you.
4) Shadows may amplify other negative emotions.
-Nova's guesses about the Shadow Voice:
1) It's able to disable a Wayfarer's location when it connects with them in a dream, even if it's brief. Like Betel can do for them.
2) More "tinged" Wayfarers being gathered together strengthens the Shadow Voice's connection. Like more Wayfarers together can do for Betel.
