Game 79A: Final Trial (4) - Gotta catch 'em all!

[Spell Craft]

It's you and me 

I know its my destiny 

(She was no God, but she had powers beyond comprehension)

You're my best friend 

In a world we must defend 

(The true despair came not from Her, but from each other.)

A heart so true 

Our courage will pull us through 

You teach me and I'll teach you 

(And her name… Well. That’s for you to solve, isn’t it?)

Gotta catch 'em all!

Pokémon!

As half of everyone stands at Hope Tower, the other half stands at the Main Despair Tower.
Everyone, however, stands connected. Anything and everything can be heard and seen by everyone, no matter where they are.

Each of the 6 colored stones are lit up, revealing the Crystal Gem shining brightly white around Hope's Area.
The Ancient Statue comes to life, in a form that you have seen in the stories.

"My children. I thank you for bringing my being into this existence."
"I had been locked away for a very long time. I can see that things have gone array here."
"My memory fails me, however."

"I need you all to remind me of the past."
"I must know Who is the cause of all of this mess."
"Why did they do this?"
"What do you all know about the history of the World?"

"When I am reminded of these things, I may recall my memory, and fix everything once again."

---

The Professor looks around at each stone, then at the white Crystal Gem.
She takes note that things have changed in her memories since the beginning of meeting everyone up to now.

"Sometimes, you must go back to move forward."

The Professor gives her final advice before joining the group in their efforts to unlock the mysteries of this world.

---

The Professor is the only NPC available to talk to at this time.
You all have gathered evidence that you can bring to the trial with you.

To solve everything, it would probably be easiest to work each question 1-by-1.
You can start anywhere you want.

Side Tasks: (not needed to at least win the game)
    ☆ Save Professor Spellcaster ✔
    ☆ Defeat all Team Despair Grunts ✔
    ☆ Reveal each Hidden Mystery per Map ≈✔

You all have however long I'm allowed to give you. (Though you probably won't need it.)
Good luck, and have fun with it!

"Let's start with the question that's on all of our minds: What the hell were you doing with Team Despair?"

"Let's start with the question that's on all of our minds: What the hell were you doing with Team Despair?"

"It wasn't my choice in the matter. I'm a Professor, and they needed me to make some solution for them. They kept saying "To continue the legacy." whatever that means. But they held me against my will... until I finally said no. Then they kidnapped me, and here we are. That's all my involvement with those dastardly people. And, I'm not proud of it one bit."

[Kuroneko]

"What do you mean by 'this mess?' The war between Fairy and Despair?"

"I think it's talking about Team Despair? I'm not too sure myself though. Maybe it's part of the mystery."

[Kuroneko]

"According to the Time Flower, there was once a war between the Team Fairy and Despair. This caused the extinction of all Pokemon. However, a time traveler was able to reverse this... somehow."

"What’d they have you make, anyway?”

"Some black liquid... They gave me the formula and everything to make it, but I was never allowed to know what it does."

[Nerdy Barista]

"professor... What was the formula?"

Spell Craft

[Kuroneko]

"If we go by the ranks of despair, Commander Yuni seems to be their highest... but I have not even heard of this person prior."

Spell Craft

"I think it'd be easier to just show you. Did anyone happen to bring a vial of it with them?"

"Does that sound like the mastermind...? At least, it's the leader of Team Despair, for sure."

"I’d be down to drink if anyone in the Despair base has it. But uh, no Pokémon sacrifice this time. I think.”

[Kuroneko]

"There was plenty in the Despair Lab. I do believe they were mass producing the substance."

[Hansbulla]

"Agh, we're getting off-topic. If we can't decide on the mastermind now, let's address the third question. What whacky history do you guys know of this place? We're been seeing claims of time travel or something to that extent..."
