Reset & Regret: Murder in 8-Bit

Chara

Someone here tried to delete the others.

Chara

I wonder who forgot to save their progress.

Nemona

My Pokémon... six are missing from storage.

Nemona

They were there before I blacked out.

Furina

(My vision feels... corrupted. Like someone tampered with my element.)

Aqua

My wallet's empty! All my emergency resurrection funds are gone!

Aqua

(Someone's been stealing from the dead...)

Chara

(Perfect. They haven't noticed the real theft yet.)

Nemona

Whoever's deleting our data values... they're still here.

Nemona

I challenge you to a battle. Right now.

Furina

My Hydro vision... it's not water anymore.

Furina

(It's turning into error code. Someone's hacking reality itself.)

Chara

Let's see who remembers this time.

Chara

Your data ends here, Hydro Archon.

Furina

My vision's failing! Someone help!

Nemona

I challenge you, Chara! Pokémon battle, no items!

Chara

Your Pokémon are just data. I can delete them too. I can just strangle you if you want it to die so easily.

Aqua

Eris! If you're watching, please don't let me die again!

Furina

(My element's turning into corrupted data!)

Chara

I never wanted to kill you. I wanted your save files.

Nemona

(My Pokémon... they're not missing. They're trapped in that orb.)

Furina

Take my power. Just... don't delete their memories of me.

Chara

Let's play again. But this time, I'll be the protagonist.

Nemona

(Can't breathe... can't reach my last Pokémon...)

Chara

Your Pokémon data belongs to me now.

Chara

Every save file you ever had... gone.

Furina

Let her go!

Furina

(My vision's barely holding together...)

Aqua

Take my resurrection money! Just stop!

Chara

Her trainer data... delicious.

Furina

(Wait... the cracks in my vision... they're not random.)

Chara

What... what's happening to the stolen data?

Furina

You stole corrupted data, Chara.

Furina

My Hydro vision wasn't breaking... it was infecting everything it touched.

Chara

(All those trainer files... they're rewriting my code...)

Nemona

(My Pokémon... they're screaming in the data stream...)

Chara

Her final memories taste like victory.

Chara

Six Pokémon souls... now part of my collection.

Furina

(The infection... it's using my hydro power as a conduit...)

Aqua

Eris, goddess of this realm... I offer what's left of my resurrection funds!

Chara

Your corrupted Hydro power... it's perfect.

Chara

I can feel the save file of this entire waiting room.

Nemona

(My Pokémon aren't dead... they're just hiding in the corrupted data stream.)

Furina

Look closer at your "victory", Chara.

Furina

You've been collecting shadows, not souls.

Chara

(The Pokémon... they're multiplying inside my collection...)

Chara

What did you do to the save file?!

Nemona

My Pokémon weren't deleted.

Nemona

They were evolving in your corrupted data. Now they're ready to battle.
