As two feathers were being blown from Moltres, Eclorian looked at Aster. "Let's each grab one while Moltres is distracted by the battle." While running towards one of the feathers, Eclorian shouted orders to his Golisopod. "X9, use liquidation again!"

With his feather in possession, he realized they still had an angry Moltres in front of them. Since they got what they came for, ending the battle prematurely should at least be an option they were willing to consider. "Tony can use its psychic powers to get us inside the waterfall with a psychic shield around us for protection. Moltres will not follow us there and most likely it will leave. What do you think, Aster?"

Project Mew

As the Noivern approached the waterfalls, Moltres appeared as if out of nowhere. This was visible all the way to the lighthouse. "There it is!" Eclorian shouted and started to run down in order to approach it. Once on the solid ground, he retreated Miranda to her pokeball and unleashed Tony again. "Help us reach Moltres before it escapes!" Tony used all its power to carry both Eclorian and Aster closer to the waterfalls.

Upon arrival they had to think quickly how they were going to get feathers. Perhaps starting a battle was the best approach. Eclorian revealed his third partner, a Golisopod. "X9, use liquidation on Moltres!"

Project Mew

At the top of the lighthouse, Eclorian looked all around them but so far there was no sight of Moltres. When Aster approached him, Eclorian asked "Can your Noivern explore the nearby area?" while he pointed towards the waterfall area.

Meanwhile, a Purugly came out of Eclorian's pokeball without him calling for her. "Miranda?" he asked her with visible confusion.

"Pur." Miranda replied, put her front paws on the ledge and looked what all the fuss was about. When there was nothing in particular to see, she returned to the floor and stretched her legs before walking off. Eclorian knew she wouldn't go far so he was not too worried. "Don't mind Miranda." he explained to Aster, "she has a bit of an attitude."

Eclorian glared at Aster's pokeball with a Noivern inside. "Ah, yes, any partners that can carry us into the sky would be a great help indeed. Personally, I think Tony would have no problem lifting me up there, but he's a bit too proud for such a thing most of the time."

There were at least 3 Corviknights ready to take them to Sinnoh. "Let's take one each and come back together at Sunyshore lighthouse." Eclorian retreated Tony to his pokeball and took flight with one of the Corviknights.

Upon arriving there, Eclorian made a quick pit stop at the local gym and asked Volkner to open up the lighthouse for them. Despite having partners that can fly, it couldn't hurt to scout for Moltres first. Right behind him was Aster's Corviknight about to land. There wasn't any sight of Gale yet, perhaps he got a little lost along the way? Oh well, plenty of time to catch up. Time to scout for that Moltres!

While shaking Aster's hand, Eclorian commented on the variant.

"Well, I only saw the one in Galar once but I can tell you it looks scarier than the one we're looking for."

Eclorian tried to figure out where in Kanto they should look for Moltres. It wouldn't make a lot of sense that it would return to old places it was seen, like the Victory Road or the Sevii Islands. The last time it was publicly spotted it was roaming the Sinnoh region. Statistically, looking there would be their best bet right now.

"We should start looking where it was last seen in Sinnoh. I believe reports said that it was spotted near the waterfalls close to Sunyshore City. We can get a Corviknight to take us directly to Sunyshore. The city's gymleader, Volkner, can give us acces to the city's lighthouse. From there we should have a clear sight on Moltres if it's still there somewhere."

Tony, who had been resting in the shadow of a tree, seemed to get exited at the idea of this mission. For sure it would think it could easily defeat a Moltres, despite the fact that he has a weakness against fire types. Not to mention Moltres was a legendary Pokemon. Eclorian wasn't so sure that Tony's confidence wasn't misplaced. Then again, they would not be alone.

Upon hearing about Camphrier Town, Eclorian nodded. "I've been there just once, I stayed a night at their hotel while passing through. I'm from the capital city Lumiose but many years ago, I wanted to collect my region's gym badges so I travelled the entire zone looking for gym challenges. Looking back at it, I was so unexperienced back then." He chuckled a little at his last comment, as if he was a bit ashamed of how bad he was at battles back in those days. "Remember Tony? You were still a Beldum." he asked to the Metagross, who was visible annoyed at the question.

In reaction to the sword-like Pokemon flexing, Tony widened his four steel legs like he would do in battle. "Calm your sensors, Tony." Eclorian just said in response. "No one is questioning your skills, you don't constantly have to prove yourself." Now even more annoyed at his trainer, Tony hovered to a nearby tree to rest. Eclorian gave Aster and Gale an apologetic look. "The three Pokemon who are traveling with me are not exactly the ones you would call easy-going. All three of them are different but what they share is that they all lack some social skills. Don't mind them, they will turn around once they get to know you guys a little better."

As the project was brought up, Eclorian nodded. "My friend Professor Sycamore told me about the project and with nothing else to do at the moment, I flew straight to Kanto to hear more about it. I think we all got the same first mission, the Moltres feather right? Should we get them together? It's been so long since I was in Kanto, I'm not completely sure where to start looking. Victory Road? The Sevii islands? One time it even flew all the way to Sinnoh. And I guess they don't mean its Galarian variant right?"

Just so everyone knows, I am going to lose access to my phone sometime soon. I don't know when I'll be able to reply. I am only online so I can let everyone know that I will be offline for a while.

@Smarty Jones

Thanks for letting us know. Take your time.

Project Mew

When he was joined once again by Gale, a third guy came running to them. Eclorian looked back at the young guy with hair tied in a bun. "Don't worry about it, Aster. I don't think being exited to see a rare Pokémon is ever a bad thing." He reached out his hand for a shake. "I'm Eclorian." While he introduced himself, he couldn't help but notice that Aster looked familiar somehow. "Is it possible we met before? Are you from Kalos like me by any chance?"

Meanwhile Eclorian's Metagross approached the group and seemed to making some sort of attempt to communicate with Aaron. "Tony... Be nice." Eclorian warned his Metagross. He knew his partner could be a bit rough sometimes and he didn't want Aaron to get hurt. Metagross sort of growled at Eclorian in response. "Okay, okay. I was just saying..." Eclorian said as he realized Tony was a bit offended by the earlier remark.

Accepted. Welcome on board!

Project Mew

"Ah, you're from Galar?" Eclorian asked. "I just love to explore the shops in Wyndon when I'm there." He realized that many trainers from around the world were interested in filling their Pokédex. That had never been a goal for him but he could respect it when others made it their quest.

"If you want to do this first mission together, I can wait for you outside. I'll go and let my Pokemon outside of their poke balls for a bit while you finish your registration with Ahasi over there. See you shortly, Gale and Aaron."

While Gale continued the formalities, Eclorian tried to find a calm spot outside where his Pokémon could get some fresh air without being too bothered by strangers. When he threw up all three poke balls, his partners appeared one by one. A Metagross, a Purugly and a Golisopod revealed themselves. Interestingly, they all walked off in a different direction.

"Don't wander too far guys, we will be leaving as soon as our team mate is ready."

Upon the mention of a team mate, none of the three Pokémon seemed to respond very exited. Eclorian sighed. They were not exactly the sunshine of the room but he loved them anyway.
