Ardos

“	It's been a while, boy. Do you remember me? Do you recall this? I helped you in Gateon Port. …There's no need for thanks. I was merely punishing a fool that used a Shadow Pokémon in public. At the time, we didn't want the world to know what we, Cipher, were planning. Back then, I thought you were just an ordinary child…	„
	~ Ardos to Michael
