After taking time away from the world of Pokemon, I returned to Lumiose City to receive a call from Emma, asking me to come to the Looker Bureau. After getting lost for a while, I finally found the Looker Bureau once more.
Emma was there, looking for Looker. She was hardly around there anymore, being too busy to hang out, and asked where he was. I told her he was in the hospital, and she started panicking about his health. Before she could worry about going to visit, though, she told me she had to leave for some kind of appointment she had.
Not a second after she left, a man in a suit came in, looking specifically for me. He had a request, but before he would give it to me he wanted to verify my strength. I agreed to a battle, and sent Axel out against his Pokemon, a Braviary, and a single Thunderbolt took it down to win the battle. Axel grew to Level 76, and my strength was proven to the old man.
The man revealed himself to be a former admin of Team Flare, and a mere servant sent by order of his "mistress" to measure my skill and to send me to Hotel Richissime if I proved myself worthy. I left the bureau and headed straight for the hotel.
I went to the fifth floor, and found Malva of the Elite Four there waiting for me. She said she needed my help, but also complained about how long I took to get there. We had a battle, and Axel was able to beat her Pyroar with just a couple attacks.
After the battle, Malva told me that Essentia was actually Emma, wearing a piece of special technology called the "Expansion Suit," which was created by Dr. Xerosic. He was one of Team Flare's scientists, and Malva's request was to make sure Xerosic disappears, in any way I could. She told me that even in Team Flare they had a sense of pride, that they were doing what they thought was right. She told me she wouldn't let him sully their honor now.
She continued on, knowing that I wouldn't want Emma to keep committing these crimes as Essentia. Malva told me that if I wanted to help Emma, then I would need to put a stop to Xerosic. She said we could find him at Lysandre Cafe, and I left immediately to confront him.
I met Malva in the cafe, and went into the headquarters. Malva told me I could find Xerosic in the lab, a secret floor that only certain admins know about. She put a special password into the elevator for me to get there, and told me it was up to me to stop him, but before I went down she said to tell Looker that she fulfilled her end of the bargain, and that he should keep in mind what would happen to him if he doesn't do the same.
I exited the elevator, and immediately got drawn into a battle with a Scientist. I sent Jack out against her Elgyem, and she used an X Special Attack on her Pokemon before Jack struck with Night Slash to take it down. Klingklang was sent out next, and I sent Gabriel out to fight it. Gabriel struck with Flame Charge for massive damage, then Klingklang countered with Metal Sound to lower Gabriel's special defense. Another Flame Charge knocked it out, and Gabriel grew to Level 76 before the battle was over.
The lab was a maze, and I was forced to travel around it until I encountered another Scientist. Jack was able to take out his Weezing, and Brody took out his Heliolisk with a single Earthquake. After the battle, I continued along through the maze and encountered a gang member hired as a security guard. I beat her pretty easily, and I continued on.
A short distance away I met up with another gang member, and when the battle was over Cadence grew to Level 77. I continued along the maze, and fought another Scientist, and after a quick battle Brody grew to Level 77, then I continued along the path. I reached the end of the maze, and found Nix, one of Emma's gang friends I met at the train station previously, and we had a battle.
Nix didn't last long, his Pokemon so much weaker than my own, and by the end of it both Jack and Logan grew to Level 77. After the battle I followed him into the room he was guarding, and he decided to have a look around the room for goodies, seeing as how nobody was supposed to be there.
I found a bunch of pokeballs, and information on the Expansion Suit. There was data reporting on the various features of the suit, and journal entries detailing the missions Emma had been on while wearing the suit, as well as reporting on the usage of some type of control mechanism to make her do these terrible things.
When I finished up there, I told Nix there were only pokeballs and papers around, and he promised me he wouldn't take them after giving Looker his word. Suddenly a bell rang, and Nix told me that his shift was up before he ran off. I began to leave the room, only for a big guy to come in and talk to himself.
It so happened to be the scientist I was looking for, Xerosic, but he seemed so absorbed in his thoughts that he passed me by. He was pondering how to maintain control of Emma while in the suit, until he noticed me and recognized me from an earlier encounter. He was determined to beat me and get me out of the way to continue his research.
He called Essentia down, and I was forced to fight her. Essentia send out Jellicent, and I sent Logan out against it. I had him Mega Evolve into Mega Venusaur, and he struck with Energy Ball to take down Jelicent. Volcarona was sent out next, and I sent Jack out against it. Jack only needed a couple turns to take it down and end the battle.
After the battle, Xerosic seemed proud of himself and the Expansion Suit, and urged Essentia to battle on. I was forced to fight her again, but it went as well as the first, and after a short battle I came out victorious once more, and Gabriel grew to Level 77 at the end of it. Again Xerosic cheered her on, telling me that she was only getting started.
I had to endure a third battle, this time against a Persian, and Gabriel was able to take it down easily to win the battle. Xerosic wondered if I was getting tired, and told me that Essentia would never experience physical or mental fatigue, so long as she wore the Expansion Suit.
He encouraged her to battle on, but a Pokemon called from the doorway, and it turned out to be Mimi and Looker. Xerosic wondered who they were, and Looker told him that Mimi was a Psychic-Type Pokemon, and so it was only natural that it could find it's friend. Oddly enough, Xerosic declared Looker barging in as a crime, as if he were concerned about the law, but Looker declared that he and Mimi simply stepped into a wide-open elevator.
Xerosic ordered Essentia to attack, but Looker begged Emma to stop. Xerosic told Looker that it was useless, that Emma couldn't hear him, and that he was in control of Essentia, but Mimi came up and called to Emma, which seemed to do something.
Emma tried to fight it, and Xerosic couldn't believe what he was seeing, though he was able to take control by turning the system up to maximum. I was forced to fight Essentia again, but after a quick battle I came out victorious once more. Emma struggled, and Looker screamed for her to stop, and she stood there screaming in pain as she tried to fight the control system.
Xerosic turned off the remote control, claiming that there was never any danger to the girl. Emma acted like she was just coming out of a nap, and Xerosic told her that she did a good job. Looker was concerned for her, but she said all she had to do was wear the suit while she snoozed away.
It occurred to her that Looker was supposed to be in the hospital, but he claimed that he got special permission to check himself out of the hospital. He said he was worried about her, so he found out where she worked and came to find her. Emma told him she was afraid he might be mad because she started working without telling him, so she kept it a secret. She thought he was a great detective for finding her.
Looker told her to go get dinner while he talked with Dr. Xerosic, and I left with her and Mimi. Looker remained behind to bring the doctor to the bureau. He wanted to confirm that the mastermind behind these criminal acts was Xerosic himself, and Xerosic did admit his guilt. Xerosic told Looker that he had full control of Emma while she was unconscious in the suit, so she had no responsibility at all for the crimes.
Dr. Xerosic declared that he was the only one who should be apprehended for those crimes, and he felt glad to have seen his life's work come to fuition thanks to Emma. Looker declared that he, as a member of the International Police, would arrest Xerosic for his crimes, though he hoped that the scientist would dine with him and Emma and let her enjoy a last, cheerful night before he had to tell her the truth.
After that, I got a call on the Holo Caster from Emma, who had incredible news. She asked me to go back to the Looker Bureau, and I headed back to meet her. She told me that Looker was getting out of the hospital, and wanted to welcome him home, but Mimi came by holding a letter from Looker. In the letter, he admitted that he was an officer of the International Police, and that his hospital stay was a ruse to keep us all out of harm's way.
The letter further went on to tell us that Looker came to this region for an investigation, and while his efforts closed the case it also meant that his time in the region was over. Looker wrote that I was a wonderful partner, and presented me with his code name "Looker" as thanks, and for Emma and Mimi he left the Looker Bureau, having purchased the whole building so they'd never have to worry about rent.
Emma was upset about him leaving without seeing us, and she ran off to look for him with Mimi not too far behind, and I was left at the bureau. I began to leave, only to be stopped by Nix, who came by to visit. He told me that Looker was heading to Lumiose Museum, and I ran off to see him.
I went to the museum, heading on up to the top floor, where I met with the curator who declared the repairs to the mural complete. It turned out that Looker came by to tell him that the suspect had been apprehended, and I left to search for him. I got a call on my Holo Caster from Emma, who got a message from Xerosic telling her that he was with Looker at Lysandre Cafe.
I rushed over to join them, and I found Xerosic and Looker talking at the cafe. Emma and Mimi came by shortly after me, and confronted Looker about his lies, and why he was leaving us behind. He said that his letter explained everything, that he was an officer who went around the world to fight crime. Emma told him to take her and Mimi with him, that she'd join him, that they could be police or anything if they could just stay together.
Looker told Emma that he wished it could be like that, but that it wasn't possible for her to come with. He told her it was time for her to graduate from being his assistance, and he declared her the new head of the Looker Bureau. He decided that since she was born and lived in the city, that she knew it inside and out, and that no one else could do the things she could.
He asked her to take his place, and protect the peace of Lumiose City. Emma was upset that Looker had to leave, but there was nothing he could do. He told her that she and Mimi and I would all be his dear friends, always and forever. Xerosic gave Emma his Expansion Suit, with remote-control functionality removed, so that she could protect Lumiose City. He also gave her the Pokemon he raised, to help her in her task.
Emma was saddened by Xerosic's actions, and bid him farewell, before she promised Looker that she would keep working hard, and become the new head of the Looker Bureau. Looker said goodbye, and left with Dr. Xerosic, leaving us to protect the Kalos Region.
