6th Gen The Battle Chateau Conspiracy

[darkwaters93]

CAUTION: BEFORE READING PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE MIGHT BE SMALL SPOILERS TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT BEATEN THE GAME YET.

Alright guys, I have been playing X and Y ever since they came out, and I think there is something definitely wrong with the Battle Chateau. At a first glance, it seems to just be a friendly place where you can level up and train your Pokemon, with the added benefit of some profit and the occasional prize item. However, I feel that there is much more to it than just that, and I have found in-game evidence to support my theory. I am not sure what it is yet, but I just know there is something wrong...

Evidence:

Spoiler:

• Whenever you speak to either the butler or maid at the door, they will always simply end the conversation by just becoming silent and stating "... ... ... ... ..."
• When you battle certain trainers, their dialogue is very strange. In fact, there are 2 in particular that I have noticed so far. One is a butler and the other is a maid.
• The butler says that he is apologizes for what he is about to do to you, and once you defeat him he says that he was sorry, and that his master gave him orders. However, he seems to get nervous and says that he shall never reveal his master's true identity.
• The maid is just basically like a robot, and says stuff like 'TARGET ACQUIRED' and 'OBJECTIVE CONFIRMED'. After you battle her, she will say that she was designed only to battle, which implies that she isn't even human at all. Most likely she was designed by 'the master' of the chateau.

So far, I have thought of three theories of what might explain these occurrences.

Spoiler:

1. Maybe both of these trainers are simply just Emma/Essentia from the Looker Bureau, and she is just playing some sort of prank on you.
2. Maybe the butler and maid from the door are the ones who battle you this way, and perhaps the 'master' is someone who is not quite clear.....
3. Perhaps 'the master' is the ghost girl from Lumiose City, and she used to live in the chateau, leaving behind the two servants. After all, it isn't exactly uncommon for a ghost girl to be from a chateau or mansion in Pokemon games.

Anyway, let me know what you think of all this and use this thread to share any theories you might have. But please, do not make any negative posts...

Pretty sure that the butler and maid at the entrance are simply grumpy because you didn't tip them. I mean, the Champion is bound to have piles of money flowing out of their pockets, amirite? :P

 

[darkwaters93]

yes but i think they also remain silent when you do tip them. plus, no one else in the game reacts that way when you don't tip them.

I honestly didn't read that much into these, especially the "robot" maid. I thought it was just something funny, maybe her taking battling a little too seriously. Definitely would be interesting if there was a hidden secret about the place.

That's false. Tip them and they go out of their way to praise you. Especially if you tip 1000. (Which I always do since I'm sitting on like 4 million from the Battle Chateau.)

I haven't really played with the Battle Chateau that much. Once I found out I had to pay in order to make stronger trainers appear, I thought "nah, if I want quick experience I can just go to restaurant Le Wow, beat up a bunch of waiters and sell their mushrooms to get my money back". Boy, that came out wrong!

 

[Iceshadow3317]

I have to agree that there is something about the place, mainly the butler. I don't know about the maid though, I just figured she was playing around.

NPCs always had silly dialogues; this isn't new. d: Whatever random NPCs say, take it with a grain of salt. There were more important characters in the Chateau, though, such as Grant, Viola, and Malva. If they said something nonsensical, then maybe that would've been something to speculate about. Pokémon X and Y have been out for three weeks now, almost a month. If there were any hidden secrets at the Battle Chateau (or at any other place, for that matter), don't 'cha think people would've been able to find out about them already? Haha.

No they thank you quite a lot when you tip them .

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I think that Butler with the master may work for Malva, as she does have butlers (as seen with the guy who appears at Looker's place), plus she was a member Team Flare, and says she wants to burn the player...

i've never actually gotten very far in that place, is it worth it?
