Venus finishes her latest broadcast of The Under Time, her glossy lips curling into a self-satisfied smile as the studio lights dim. She hears footsteps and pivots gracefully, heels clicking, to find a young female trainer standing there.

Venus giggles, twirling a sleek, heart-shaped device between her fingers.

"Oh my gosh, you are like so the naughty little rebel girl Master Nascour warned me about. Wreaking havoc, stealing Pokémon back, ruining our super cute plans for Cipher to totally take over the world? Ugh, rude!”

She sashays closer, eyes sparkling with cruel delight.

“But that’s okay, sweetie. Really! Because I just love breaking in stubborn girls like you. And on live TV? Mmm, even better.”

She lifts the device, brushing it under the trainer’s chin with a teasing tap.

“See, I don’t just defeat rebels… I brainwash them. I turn them into the prettiest, most obedient little Cipher dolls, loyal to us forever and ever. And you? You are going to make such an adorable addition to my collection.”
