Game 79A: Trial 3 Results - The Time Has Come

[Spell Craft]

When Darkness shines into Light
and Light fades into Darkness...
only then will you realize
the chaos that engulfs the world...
(Not only that, but the little girl wasn’t bringing back Pokemon from time.)
It's up to you to choose
the fate of the world around you...

The Execution

Minako Koyama is dragged out of the lab, not by an angry mob, but by her own Pokemon. Feeling betrayed, they string her up to the Pokemon Statue in the Snowy Village.

Minako walks back into the lab. The group stares at her for a long while. Kanaji runs up to Minako almost immediately, while Veigar scoffs. Storyteller is just relieved Shirokuma is alive and well. Takuya counts up his members of Team Fairy, while Bianca and Isabelle just look at each other, wondering if there ever really was a team to begin with. Michi shuffles around waiting for what's next. Morgiana looks around for a bit, taking note of everything that just happened...

...when she notices Professor Spellcaster is gone.

Final Daily will be posted in 10 hours (I can't host during daylight hours)

Feel free to ask questions about how the murder happened, but I will not reveal the identity of Team Despair.

They can choose to reveal themselves, or not.

Team Despair has decided ....

I wonder what our young trainers have in store for them next.
