A true hero... in training (Pokemon Gym Leader's apprentice quest)

[X] Training with Maylene: Training for you and your pokemon. Will raise rank. You will also interact with Belle for minor relationship gain.
[X] Spend time with... : Spend time with someone. A social action. Will give good relationship gain and might lead to special events. Anyone you've met that is inside Veilstone right now is available. The people with special plot events are listed below.
-[X] Violet event: You promised the girl some ice-cream. Show her around the city and spend some time with her in this totally-not-a-date.
-[X] Maylene event: She disappears from a day and comes back wounded. You need to have a serious talk with her to know what's wrong.

[X] Call Cynthia and request a meeting with her. Say you found something out that you feel should only be talked about in private face to face

So, I think we found out what the Pressure Ability does. Seems to exert power to unnerve the opponent and make it feel more difficult to move and react and, if there's a great enough power gap, paralyze someone in fear.

Reason I vote as I did is because we need to get stronger, and spend time with our friends after such a traumatic event.

As for my Cynthia write-in, I kind of feel like this is not the thing to talk about where it can be somehow overheard.

[X] Special training with Maylene: Like training but to train an ability or move. Same rules as with Cynthia apply but you can't teach your pokemon things they could not usually learn. Specify in your vote.
[X] Go train with Akahime: You will spend a day training with Akahime again. This training improves your pokemon's stats more than any other kind of training. She can also teach a pokemon moves they shouldn't be able to know. Will open another vote to decide what to train.

I want as many training options to win as possible, so I'm going to vote for all of them. Realistically though, we should probably take Maylene's Social because whew lad.

I kinda want to teach Maelstrom Ancient Power and see if that has any effect on Primal DNA. I mean, it;s a move specifically about channeling the power of ancient days through a Pokemon, so that might have an effect and/or be effected be Primal DNA. Plus, Sinnoh was the region where Pokemon gained evolutions based on knowing Ancient Power (Tangrowth, Mamoswine, etc.), with the lore reason being that it allowed ancient potential locked within those Pokemon to awaken. I dunno, it might be worth experimenting with.

Agree with the Cynthia write-in.

If we don't want to become a sitting duck, take the Violet and Maylene socials.

Dude, odds are, learning Ancient Power won't do what you want and cause a permenant Primal Magikarp mode.
 
So... does this mean Mewtwo knows about Primal Magikarp, if he was going through our mon's mind? And I wonder if he found anything interesting while going through Maelstrom's mind. He's... a lot more perceptive and apparently wiser than a normal magikarp should be.

[X] Spend time with:
-[X] Marissa Event
-[X] Maylene Event

Right now I htink we need to confront our friend. And the Grunt encounter might lead to some new information on what the hell Galactic is up to.

[X] Yes, tell Cynthia AND Violet/Lily about Mewtwo.

They both deserve to know.

He didn't say that's what he wanted and I also don't want permanent Primal Magikarp.

Akahime might help you learn more about what does that exactly mean and how Primal Magikarp worked, but probably only Arceus or Mew can let you be in that mode permanently.

He knows. He doesn't care. Irrelevant to his goals.

If you train with Akahime, one of the options will be to learn more about Primal Magikarp.

-[X] Marissa event: You find the Team Galactic grunt alone and out of uniform. This might be a great time to know more about her. Maybe the truce is still up?

We definitely need to train at least a little, and the whole reason we're here is so that Haru can train with Maylene so I don't want to skip off to train with Akahime. I don't think we've done a social with Maylene yet, and Haru needs to try to help her. While I'd like to spend time with Velvet, I'm worried about whether the Marissa event is time-limited. I don't care about trying to make friends with her, but I'm hoping to get more clues about what's going on with her or Team Galactic.

I'm very conflicted about telling Cynthia and Violet/Lily. This seems like something they should know about, but at the same time, Akahime decided to trust Haru with this knowledge. I'm going to abstain from voting for now.

I'm confident that at the very least one social option will win, so I'm giving the training options a boost in votes so that we get one or two of them.

I wasn't trying to push for Ancient Power or anything, I was just looking at the character sheet and going "Hey, wouldn't it be kinda interesting if..."
 
I'm actually going with keeping the secret. Cynthia probably already knows anyway.

[X] No, don't tell them.
