It is a shame that something once amazing and original becomes imitated, parodied, homaged, mimicked, and repeated so much that the original is discredited along with the fakes." Alexander replied. "It really was a good riddle. But... what does that have to with pokemon?" Alexander did not actually play that game, though he had heard of it.<br/><br/>He went silent as the sphinx spoke. Yes, that was all predictable. They had to find their mentors to entertain Paratha, Elizabeth Darkmind was molesting someone convenient, Amun liked to crash parties and cause problems, Smoking Clover... was someone he had never heard of, and of course someone he had never heard of was robbing some place he did not really care about. As long as Shondra was not summoning armies of demons, raising an undead army, ensorcelling townsfolk to be cannibals, or otherwise causing mystical mayhem that he would have to clean up, he could not run around foiling every crime in this mad world. One of his companions probably had Shondra in their rogues gallery, and that would mean something to them. The thing about the phonecall worried him, though. How on earth could she ruin his life? His life was serving the Watcher and fighting mystic evil. That was it. She could tell everyone he was a dude, and embarrass him, but that was probably it. "There are a lot of superheros in this world." Alexander said laconically. "I am ready for your riddle, honored sphinx."
