But one companion wasn't enough. On the road, the two met Munkidori. This Pokémon had the power to see into the near future. It simply had to be made a retainer.

The amount of sass on this mortal!

...Well, of COURSE I would. I only thought you might want to leave your comrades with a heroic, selfless image. ...But so be it. Leave them with the final memory that you were their undoing!

Am I having fun? What about my appearance makes you think I'm having FUN, worm?!

...On behalf of the Knights of the Round Table, thank you. We made you carry the burden of that dark era all by yourself. You alone weren't part of the Round Table's joy.

Up till now, I've been chiming into your conversations meaningfully, but from here on, all I'll be able to do is make animal noises.

Shucks. Think I went and soured the mood with my big mouth. Sorry, sorry. That wasn't my intention! I swear!

Do you know what it means to live to see another birthday? It means you have an affinity with the world. Of course there are some folks who aren't lucky enough to be as in tune with the world...

You had your wishes but you threw them away. It made you happy, yeah, for more than one day. But now you're lost and cannot figure a way to get out of this lie that comforts you.

You would know if I unleashed my full power! Let's test it. You, or the empty me. Let's see which side this world wants to survive!

Inspired by overcoming ostracism and opening up to others.

He never had any accomplishments to become a Heroic Spirit, but after what happened, maybe Humanity recognized him. Or maybe it was something set up by the Lion King. Either way, you'll see him soon.

It was alive yet it couldn't move. The body was beat-up and its soul exhausted. Truly, a living corpse. But surprisingly its mind was still intact. That rock had tremendous tenacity. It wouldn't allow itself to die.

Yes, at last I have you... Once our power is joined... THE DRAGON'S MIGHT...WILL BE MADE WHOLE.

Remember, at heart he is but an information processing unit, neither good nor evil.

Where your god wills you to be. Now if you will excuse me... I have some fleas on my back to take care of.

Somewhere in the background is the din of conversation. As Seofon strains his ears to listen, his consciousness gradually fades.

If you guys are so high and mighty, surely it wouldn't hurt to let a harmless little nobody like me say a few words. Right?

Let someone else carry on your dream. That's how we've always rolled. Us lot.

My power... couldn't save anyone. It only destroyed. I thought that I could only make a connection with others through destruction. So I had to destroy it all. People... The world... Even Elly...

In the empty skies is an inferno for me. In the world beyond is redemption. I weep alone in a world abandoned.

The sacred sword is to be given to the right person by someone whose heart is good... I no longer have that right.

Falling down upon the earth, falling down.

Impossible! You should all be dead by now... Naga! She must have interfered! Which means Morgan has failed me...

Yes! That's Merlin for you! Totally useless!

Perhaps this is fate.

You've proven nothing but your own madness. This can be stopped. YOU can be stopped!

Amid the sound of festive drums and flutes, standing amongst the merry revelers, they saw two figures donning glittering masks - Ogerpon and its human partner.

No, sadly. I may be able to fire laser beams from my sword, but technically, I'm not an Archer.

Yes, I'm afraid I have a few bad habits.

There's a future just for you and me.

When I lose myself I become you.

Even now, somewhere in the world, there are countries fighting each other. And it's not just fighting... tragedies caused by prejudice and poverty show no end in sight. Why did adults create a world that is so cruel to children?

...That's why I say that she was neither a brave warrior, nor the protagonist of the story. In the end, she was simply an ordinary girl.

I mean, I don't think any of that stuff about the ogre stealing souls is true or anything, but... it is true that our family used to make masks.

Nothing will stop me from obtaining what I want to see. This time is no different.

But those lousy three are the bad guys! The masks belong to Ogerpon! Ugh, I really wish I could tell them everything...

I can't promise to stay my blade, but I vow not to shame you.

During our exploration of Area Zero's depths, I—Heath—strayed from the team and was later found unconscious. When awoken, I could only recall speaking with someone in an unfamiliar place, as if in a dream. I was found holding the page shown here. The handwriting is my own, but I have no memory

Merlin was one of the world's most renowned kingmakers. He was also behind Arthur pulling the sword from the stone.

The apostle of the one who sits beyond the boundary? Fascinating!

Heh, never expected such youthful arrogance... We shall see who shames who!

And so it ends, Robin. See how frail these humans bonds of yours are? How short lived? How pointless? You have all thrown your lives away, and the result is the same!

He gives orders. I stab people. I think our roles are clear.

Indeed. I'm none other than THE Merlin, Grand Caster. The greatest, most powerful, most handsome mage of all time!

The horror has passed. Yet still a foul air lingers, filling this place with a sense of dread.

What in blazes?! The girl is a dragon!

N-no... This wasn't supposed to happen... This is all my fault!

I don't want you to die or kill anyone... Please.

That sounds like a fine way to live one's life. A fantastic permutation, if you will. Sure would've been great if those possibilities had come to pass.
