Not dead yet! Not me, not the thread! I hope.
You reluctantly follow the girl back to your new hometown. She doesn't speak a word while going back, so neither do you. You have a lot of questions, the most important one being "What the hell was that all about?", but they'll have to wait. The girl takes you to a small laboratory in Littleroot. She says: "This place is my father's." She must be professor Birch's daughter.
"You must have noticed something was going on with that Zigzagoon", she begins when you're inside the lab. "It was psycho, you mean", you reply.
"Something strange is going on, I'm sure you felt it too..." The girl looks at you. "I think I may be the cause of what happened earlier," you say. "Time almost stopping and all..." "Really", the girl says. You start explaining what happened with your clock, but the girl stops you after the first word. "I think it's better I you don't know." She's confusing, you think.
"Listen up, kid. This isn't the kind of adventure you were expecting it to be. Pokémon can die. If they die, you die. There are ancient rules of the universe, and they apply to you now. Don't ever ever ever catch the second and upwards Pokémon you meet on a route." "Is that why I couldn't have those other Pokémon?" you ask. "You understand quickly", May says. "But I'm safe now, can I have the final Pokémon?" You see May smiling. "Of course you can. But be sure to give him a name." She hands you the Pokéball. "I'll go search for dad now", se says, walking out the door.
