Back in his Laboratory, Oak was alone once more. Assistants gone home, he had this time to listen to the one person who he trusted the most... himself. His thoughts raced on and on, the one idea that agonized in his brain for days and weeks and months and years now.

With tears of happiness rolling down his eyes, he couldn’t have said it any better himself.

It’s been quite some time. Hello there.

Good afternoon, Mortimer.

Out from the shadows and dust, I return. Hello my boy, quite swell to see you too, Marcus.

Always busy. Busy, busy. Lots of travel to and fro different regions. Some stuff can be spoken on, some things must stay hush-hush for now. You know how it goes, hm?
