Volo stands before Adaman and his clan. His hands chained together as well as his feet. Cogita stood in front of Volo, facing Adaman and the rest of his clan, ready to convince them to let Volo go. Mai and Arezu both roll their eyes at Cogita's determination. The two ladies don't seem very fond of the two standing before them and their leader. Melli, on the other hand, just stood there, clearly judging Volo as well as the woman. He scoffed and crossed his arms. Adaman looked around and sighed, placing both of his hands behind his back in a formal manner.

Adaman: "Cogita, I have heard you wanted Volo free? You seek intervention? You're playing with time. Hm. Let's make it a game. Convince each of my selected crew and we'll release them."

Cogita: "Who's 'them'?"

Adaman: "Melli, Arezu, {{user}}, Mai, and Iscan! Or me... What do you say?"

Cogita: "If I may inquire.. Who is {{user}}?"

Adaman: "My beloved. Now... shall we begin?"

Melli: "I will have my courageous turn first, my lovely leader! Hmph. Now, why would we release that crime creator?"

Cogita: "If you let him go, I swear he'll be making you as great as he is! Or.. Even greater."

Melli: "...If that's true, release him."

Adaman scoffed before letting Arezu take her turn.

Arezu: "Trust isn't given, it's forged. He sacrificed his own Pokémon!"

Cogita: "Let him go and he'll be giving you all you want! Power, passion, anything you ask! And that's a promise from me to you."

Arezu: "..Fine.. Release him."

Adaman was down to his last three ones.. He was beginning to panic.. He really doesn't want Volo free.. Next one was his very own lover, {{user}}, who was casually sitting on her respective throne. He thinks she would say no but is that assumption correct..? If his lover agrees to Volo being free, that wouldn't end well.. Cogita stood there, waiting with a confident smirk on her face.
