Luneth was surprised when the Victini turned it’s telepathy to her, informing her that Cassandra was already here.
Cinnamon was Cassandra? In hindsight it made perfect sense. But it was still weird to think that all three Ladies had managed to get themselves turned into pokemon at the same time…

After a few moment, where she assumed Victini was talking to the scary guy, Luneth thought the Ladies might be going to accept the offer. From the guys answer it seems they didn’t believe him though, and had turned it down. Then before he could make a move, the Ladies made a run for it.
Luneth was torn on whether to try and stop them, but she had no proof that they’d done anything too wrong yet, and the “operative” didn’t seem like the nicest of people to hand them over to, so she stayed put and let them flee.

As the guy started talking to his Latios, he started scaring Luneth with his intensity, so she sidled away as quickly as possible without drawing attention to herself.

Once she was alone again, Luneth had time to think over everything that had happened. The attacks on the Diamond Ladies had been set up by the league to figure out if/how they were cheating, but their methods seemed a bit extreme. Especially Latios guy’s. But then, the diamond ladies had been cheating, so they weren’t the good guys either. And they turned down the reasonable offer and ran for it. Unless they had accepted, but he really didn’t want them too and was putting on a show because Luneth was there?

Then a thought occurred. The Ladies had turned previous operatives into pokemon, and that Zorua had been running away from where the Ladies had been. Was that Zorua an operative too?
She needed to find Glimmer. With all that was going on, it wasn’t safe for the Shaymin to be out there alone anymore.

Luneth began heading back to where the Latios’s “attack” had happened, but before she could get very far however, a message blared out over the PA:

"Due to reports of a wild Dragon Pokemon assaulting guests, we request that all guests return to their rooms immediately. Room service will provide a complimentary meal and pay-per-view movie for each guest whilst this lockdown is in effect.

While it was true about the Dragon type, Luneth knew it was obviously a cover up to get everyone away while they hunt down the Diamond Ladies.
Even if she didn’t need to find Glimmer, there’s no way Luneth was going to sit in her room at a time like this. The Diamond Ladies knew real magic, and once they were caught any chance to find out more about it will be covered up likely forever. Plus, she needed to find out for definite who was in the right here. Now she’d just need to be a bit sneakier when traveling.

Luneth made her way “stealthily” back through central park towards where the nugget thief had struck. Start at the scene of the crime. Who knows, maybe Glimmer was back there already. No luck however. Ok, so they’d run off towards Royal Promenade so that was next.
Luneth’s stealth consisted of dashing from hiding place to place, sticking to walls and trying to blend in, while ignore all the security cameras along the way, somehow managing to stay on camera more frequently that if she’d just walked through normally.

As she entered the Promenade, she heard a commotion from up ahead. It’s them again, isn’t it? How do I keep running into those three today? Luneth hoped that whoever had found them this time, that it wasn’t the Latios guy again.
Sneaking closer, she saw a large group of pokemon, including the Diamond Ladies, all in a stare down, like a cowboy movie. Except with more pokemon yelling. There was a woman there too, almost definitely another Operative, though she had way more pokemon than are allowed per trainer with her. She hadn’t been turned into a pokemon yet though, so maybe the Diamond Ladies really did only use that spell in self defense?

Still hiding a reasonably safe distance from the face off, Luneth whipped out her phone, and zoomed in on the Diamond Ladies as much as possible. If they were going to use their magic, she wanted to see exactly how it worked. And if not, nothing would be lost. If only she could get closer and hear what they said, but all her pokemon were too large and noticeable, apart from the presently unavailable Glimmer, and Flan, who needed another small pokemon around to copy first.
She’d just have to make do with long distance recording, hoping the words didn’t matter too much.
