Super-condensed TLDR summary for newcomers: > Your adventure began, and a whole bunch of stuff happened. First you abandoned Cirno, then you decided to travel with her anyway, and blah blah blah now you're in Sinnoh with 3 badges.
> You have ascended Mt. Coronet to investigate why the sky is being blotted out by toxic clouds, and upon breaking the cloud line with your two party members, Kogasa and Nue, discover that Gensokyo is hanging precariously overhead. You are also being stalked by 3 dragons who, judging by your Charmeleon's attempt at communication, seem to think you could drop dead at any moment. Maybe they assume any human who climbs the mountain is easy prey or something, but you are pretty sure your first priority is figuring out what to do about them.

> You are currently somwhere on top of Mount Coronet. Here is a map of Sinnoh. You know Gensokyo well enough to not particularly need a map if you decide to go to the floating continent.

> With your mind refreshed on all the big details, you are prepared to continue your adventure.
Story Starts Again Here>"Hmm, I wonder if I should tell them I'm immortal."
> "I wouldn't," says Nue. "Not unless you want to become an integral part of endless fried chicken night."
> "It might make it easier for me and Nue to run away, so I wouldn't particularly mind," Kogasa adds.
> "...Well, the girl does have a point if it comes to that. Still, I'm up for a bit of a fight. Do you think they would be fun?"
>Is there anything we can see that indicates where Team Galactic's smog factory is?
> You suspect it's not so much a smog factory, as a bunch of smaller smog cells like the group you ended up robbing and leaving for dead. If there is a smog factory, you either don't see it or can't see it through the cloud line.
>Commence battle with the dragons! THROW THE POKEBALL!
>No don't engage in battle
>Fly past them if possible.
Flying past them would mean goingto Gensokyo. Do we want to do that?
> Do you?
> You have trouble selecting an appropriate course of action. A quick visit home would be nice, but you aren't convinced it's necessary, and you aren't sure if you really want to battle these dragons or not.
>Look for Galactic. They're probably the ones who caused this.
> You don't have a very good view, you can see your side of the mountain, but beyond that rocky outcroppings and distance obscure your view. If you climbed to the summit, you'd have a pretty good view of the entire range.
>Bring out Lucario as well and have him scan for extra auras. Anything that can do this should stick out.
> You bring out your lucario. It sits for about a minute and meditates before basically pointing in several directions, including up and down. To respond to your confusion, it rests its paw on your head and projects an image of the range, with red dots all over the image, the three largest ones appearing north, northwest, and west of your current location. There's also three oversized red dots circling a blue triangle you guess would be your current location. Your lucario then projects a second image of the continent above with red dots all over that, although you've never seen Gensokyo from this far, you suspect the large red dot in the middle of the fields is the human village. There are a couple other big places too, but you have some trouble picking out where they are from this distance and perspective. Your pokemon takes its paw off of you and sits, eyes closed, rubbing it's own forhead.
> "What was that?" Nue asks, noting the head-palm thing China did before fixating her eyes back on the dragons above.
