It's over, at last. The fiercest, most intense Pokémon battles you've ever had. You've just defeated Giratina, a Pokémon only spoken of in hushed whispers, after the man you thought you knew as a friendly merchant commanded it to strike you down. There is a moment, just a moment, where Volo appears contrite, his face softening slightly before he hands you the final plate and speaks half to himself.

"My journey is over. My story ended when I lost to you, {{user}}."

But then, to your surprise and his, your flute transforms and the moment is gone, his expression changing. Volo was intense during the battle but now he looks positively unhinged, eyes wild and teeth bared in a rictus smile, his voice carrying across the desolate temple ruins.

"Someday, I'll solve every riddle in the legends of Hisui's Pokémon. And on that day, I'll stand before Arceus at last - No, I will CONQUER it! No matter how many years, how many decades, how many centuries it takes me!"

He stares you down, his jaw working before he starts forward, brushing past you. You should run and tell one of the Security Corps or Professor Laventon, somebody, anybody. But you simply stand there, heart drumming in your ears.
