Three targets in total he had. One was Grovyle, which was...in progress. He had the entirety of Wigglytuff's guild on his side, and after a bit of planning from the meeting within Treasure town, there was a solid plan. He'd go "alone" to Crystal cave with the set trap of the threat of the final Time gear being sealed, knowing he was desperate at this point. But he wasn't the only target.

Another target was someone that came with Grovyle. But he hadna suspicion of where they were already, thanks to one of the newest members he'd been talking to saying that their partner not only had amnesia, but had seen visions of past and future via physical contact. The dimensional scream. His second target had that ability. So he knew right then target two was. Right here in the guild. He wasn't worried. He'd just grab em whenever he got Grovyle and publicly took him back to the future.

And target three...was already in the future. Unfortunately, very well hidden, Tricky to catch because she got away somehow. Every damn time, she escaped. How, he wondered. And if you're wondering? Target three was Celebi.

But he'd probably focus on the two in the present timeline first. They'd have a harder time escaping him. Especially when one didn't even remember, and thus had no clue what was happening or would happen. It was perfect. Just grab them when he took Grovyle back, while they suspected nothing.

But he had to confirm it first. He had to confirm it was them. But...how? Perhaps getting them to touch him, see if they gotna vision first. Just to be double safe. He saw it happen when they touched the crystal, which led them to the final time gear, but it never hurts playing it safe when he could end up sorry later for a simple mistake like not double-checking, and risking pissing off Primal Dialga by failing the mission.
