Similar to Fuschia City, there is a decent fishing trade here, and several boats line the pier. You happen to have arrived with more of a selection this time. One has an older man readying things on the boat while a younger man runs back and forth from the dock loading things on. Another appears to have a small family of 3 children and their parents, all in lifejackets. The last doesn't appear to be readying, But you can see an old man sittign on the boat, staring off into the water.

Gil decides the first option is probably the best. He heads over and waves them down.
"Hey gents, my friends and I are trying to get to Seafoam nearby to explore. Can ya help us out?"

The older man steps over while the younger one continues to load the boat. "How long are you planning to be there for? Dropping you off before we go fishing is easy enough but it'd be pretty late before we are coming back."

Gil thinks over his words carefully.
"We have a way off already chartered much later after we've explored for a while. We just need a one-way ticket there if you can help us out."
I mean the 'ride' will be himself and whoever gets this bird here. If it's Lina then hey they can all fly save for our Mildred. Whoever can't can catch a ride on the birds.
Or they'll die. Maybe that'd be a mercy.

"Well that shouldn't be a problem. How about 500 pokeyen each for the trouble?" And he waves to the other man to leave room for you to board.

"Perfect."
Gil goes back to get the others and waves them over.

You hop on board, paying the man as you do. The boat makes it's way out into the sea, motor humming as it jets along the islands come into view, a pair of somewhat hilly islands, which you know is connected by a cavern underground. The man lets you off at the southern-most island, and bids you farewell before motoring off. The hills aren't too large, and you don't see any legendary birds above...

Gil watches as the man takes off.
"Well that was simpler than last time. Now lets see..."
He looks out across the landscape. Not much above ground... although they haven't tried 'calling' this one yet. Gil has a feeling it won't work here anyway, as Seafoam isn't 'up' like the previous place. It's 'down'.
"Alright, guess there's only one thing do to. We gotta get down there."
His eye lands on Luke, however, who still stated there was something he had to bring up...

Luke hops off the boat quickly, dragging Gil with him. This would be easier to talk about alone, he thought. He didn't know if he could trust Gil yet, but having more allies wouldn't be a bad thing.
With a whisper, he pulls Gil behind some rocks nearby. "It's about what I found in the mansion."

Gil raises an eyebrow.
"And what did you find, hero? And why did this have to be private?"

Luke pulls out one of the papers he found in the basement, handing it over.
"That... THING we fought? It was manmade. They were trying to make a weapon based on Mew's DNA. And I think they succeeded."

Gil smirks and pulls out one of his notes to match.
"Two hearts beat as one and all that jazz."
Gil looks over the notes and thinks.
"So here's my thought. We need to like, find this thing. And eat it. And then if gives us a form, then we get some people working for us to replicate it. We clone as many legends as possible, and then eat them without screwing up the entire world in the process. Savvy?"

Luke raises an eyebrow. He hadn't thought of that specific idea...
"Firstly, who even works for us? Second, the process is likely imperfect, and this WEAPONIZED Mew rather than creating a perfect clone. It's dangerous stuff to be meddling in. Third... I was thinking we could use it, if it works, to fix everything."

"Dangerous, sure. But so is fighting and eating the real legends. As for works, we just have to get a lot of money and people will start jumping to work on our project. I mean, how do you think that friggin mansion was built? But I digress."
Gil runs a hand through his hair and smirks.
"But I'll give ya this one. How were YOU thinking to fix everything with this?"

Luke looks at Gil with surprising clarity in his eyes. He's been thinking about this since they found the documents.
"... We kill Snow. We kill this Giovanni, and we kill this weaponized pokemon. Then we have the people who work for us, which I guess we'll have by then, examine our DNA, extract the sequences for the Legendaries while we assume the forms. Based on some notes I found, it seems the Legendaries either Reincarnate, or aren't as rare as we thought. In either event, we should be able to restore the balance once those two factors are taken out."

Gil thinks for a moment.
"Now that's interesting. Removing the legendary from us is something I haven't considered. But here's the flaw. We ain't powerful enough to do this. Snow smacked you around like a toy before, you think now will be any better?"

Luke sighs, shaking his head.
"No. I don't. I know we need to increase our power, and right now there's only one way to do this. I think in this case, it'll be better to ask for forgiveness than permission. To be honest, I doubt we'll get either, but if all four of us work together we might stand a chance."

Gil looks off.
"Yeah. I ain't gonna ask for that though. I'm a piece of shit and I know that, so this doesn't make me any better. All we can hope for is that we don't entirely fuck up the world until we think we can take Snow down."
Gil walks back toward the boat.
"You coming or what?"

The two return to the group. As they had talked the boat jetted off, so they are alone now. There is the cave that traverses down below, the other side of it on the other of the two islands should they wish to swim over, and as Gil had thought, they could try the calling that Snow showed them. How will they proceed?
