Part 9: 476 Report
General Summary
The party, fully anticipating the spy behind them, attempts to get the jump on the being following them. All stealthy preparations fail, but Jasper is able to ensnare their tail in a trap. The being, identifying as 476, states that they are assigned to retake Professor Evergreen's Pokémon, as well as the whispered materials that Ava is in possession of. Further interrogation reveals abtruse info, except that perhaps 476 knows more about the Blinding than they let on. With no more relevant information ready, our heroes strike at 476, dealing near-lethal damage before they retreat with the help of their Salamence. The party later travels down the path until reaching the first crossroads. In one direction, a path to the greater Thenia region; in the other, a large cave. Torn on exploration, Frank has his partner use Secret Power to create a sizeable base for the night, where our heroes recuperate and prepare for their next moves.
Meanwhile, Layla has returned to her hometown of Allegro, visiting her parents. She is out completing errands when a wounded 476 is dropped before her by Salamence, kept alive only by mysterious (but likely mechanical) methods. After a tense moment with the Salamence, Layla is able to stabilize 476 long enough for her to return home by nightfall. There, she introduces the enigmatic figure to her parents. While Larry seems to be quite happy with their new guest, Kim is much more guarded, her suspicions of the wounded being growing by the second. However, it is shown that 476 has no ill intentions towards Layla and her family, despite the former's apparent ties to the agent's attackers. Temporarily placated, Layla and Kim tend to 476's wounds, and the night goes on uneventfully.
