**Palette Town -- Oak Family Home**<br/>Sarianna's timidness at the introduction of strangers raised red flags for Charity almost immediately. There was something wrong with this girl. Something terribly off. She was obviously scared, but was unwilling to express herself or explain what had happened to her and how she had come to be in the situation she was in. It might be a lot harder than anticipated to get any information from the young girl.<br/><br/>"Is this her?" Micah asked, gently. He didn't want to scare the girl, but he was sure that the expression on his face wasn't going to help. He was stunned at seeing the blood all over the front of her clothes, her outfit ravaged by claw marks.<br/><br/>"Yeah, this is her." Charity looked at the girl kindly, hoping that she might be able to get the girl to say something....anything.<br/><br/>"Sweetheart, these people are my friends, okay? This is my son." She patted Micah's shoulder gently, "And this is his maid." She gestured to Renna. "We don't want to hurt you. We want to help you. But we can't help you at all if you don't talk to us."<br/><br/>Micah nodded, and looked at the wound across the girl's front. "Where did you get that?" He asked, his mind wandering to the wild creature in the streets of Palette. He also remembered what his father had told him, about a monster having killed someone not far away. It seemed reasonable to assume that this girl was also a victim. "Were you attacked by a monster?" He asked.<br/><br/><br/>**Route 28**<br/>A slow nod accented a blank stare from the former professor as he stared off into the trees lining the mountain trail. He kept his mouth closed for a moment, as a lone soul wandered past them. He was probably a talented pokemon trainer or a scout. Maybe even a ranger patrolling the area. Anyhow, they ignored each other and each continued on their way. Samuel waited until the crunch of the stranger's footsteps on stone faded away.<br/><br/>When he spoke again his voice was very low. "The incarnus is a creature that a few people have pursued, thinking to harness its power to warp time and space. Some people say that it's an extradimensional being. Unfortunately, the people who go looking for it are invariably trouble. They want power or money or what have you. They don't realize that some things cannot be tamed. Or better yet, SHOULD not be tamed."
