[Rika is not amused. At all. The way she is currently presenting herself seems to be completely different than in the past. She means serious business.] Whoever is responsible for this is going to pay. [And she is quite sure of who it is.] I do not appreciate something like this happening in a world that is meant to be peaceful, and I will do what I can to make sure it is stopped.

Therefore, I will be investigating this, since it seems to be coming from outside of Violet City, judging from the direction the crystal is growing. Due to the negative effect that this is having on the environment, I would not be surprised if something similar was going on with the pokémon in the general area.

If you would like to accompany me, meet me at the Center. Make sure your team is well rested and prepared for battle.

[Mitsuru falls into the groove of battle easily] Artemisia, Gust!

[and her Butterfree immediately flaps her wings to send the Unown Rika weakened flying]

[Rika then focuses her attention on another Unown.] Guardian, use Astonish! [The Drifloon shouts loudly, causing the Unown to flinch.]

[Mitsuru does likewise, tossing her Seel's pokeball into the air to call her forward]

Penthesilea, come forth! Execute them!

['execute' has become just as good of a command as an attack name, and Seel immediately responds by shooting a series of ice shard at the Unown]

[It seems that the strategy of weakening and attacking is working, so Rika decides to continue this approach.] Hope, weaken them again! Use Tail Whip!

[they make an excellent team! \o\ Mitsuru orders her Butterfree and Seel to attack the Pokemon that are weakened by Rika]

[Rika continues to weaken the incoming Unown.]

... They keep appearing!

Then we just keep on fighting! [Mitsuru is used to fending off an endless assault. She fought Shadows on a nightly basis back at her home world, after all]

All right! [So she continued weakening them.]

[the duo manages to push their way from the outskirts of Violet well into Route 32, though they're still a ways away from the ruins themselves]

[And all the way through, the Unowns keep appearing.]

At this rate, we may never make it there in time.

We'll have to find the source, and calm them down there-- [she ducks as an Unown comes flying at her head, but her Seel manages to encase it in ice before it gets far]

Yes. I guess in the meantime, we'll just have to deal with all of the ones that come at us. [Her Drifloon flies quickly in front of her, using an attack that causes several Unown surrounding Rika to flinch.]

-- Artemisia, put them to sleep!

[the Butterfree flaps her wings and sends a sparkling blue wave of dust over the Unown, causing them to drop to the ground like flies as they fall asleep]

Should we hurry past them before they wake up?

Yes, let's.

[and she does so, Penthesilea and Artemisia on her heels]

[She follows closely behind Mitsuru, Rika's Drifloon carrying her Vulpix through the air as they run.]

[and they are getting closer to the ruins! But another pack of Unown stop their progress]

Gust! [Artemisia knows this means her, and she kicks up another burst of wind to send them flying]

Guardian, attack! [The Drifloon uses Astonish, causing the Unown to also flinch.] Come on, let's run while they're recovering!

I'm impressed with your battle tactics and strategies, Furude!

[she gives the compliment as she runs]

[She smiles in return.] Thank you. I am also impressed with yours, although I expected no less!

I believe my fencing lessons come in handy in this world.

I'm glad you're able to put them to use.

As am I.

[She smiles until more Unowns rush at them.] Hope, use Ember!
