-Jerks a thumb at a bunch of run-down buildings to the side of the route-

Xatu: -Teleports in- <The banlieues, Tagg.>

Doesn't that word mean "suburb" or something like that in Kalosian?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Ever has been reading about Mega Evolutions-

Ever: Yeesh, this is weird...I wonder where you can find those stones Cleo was talking about, though.

Ephemera: -forms a picture of a Wailord-

Ever: ...I'm not sure how that relates.

Ephemera: -shrugs and dispels it-

Ever: -sighs- (to Mezzo) Hey, did you ever get those Roller Skates you wanted to?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Chip: Ow! ...hmm?

Chip opens his eyes to see a bottomless abyss underneath him, and underneath a giant web as well.

Chip: Ack! -sits up- Where am I? (...oh, right. I must've fallen asleep while I was watching Viola battle.) Hey, Watt. How nice of you to wake me up.

He then crawls across the spider web, over to where Viola is.

Chip: Viola! I'm here to fight you and claim ownership of your Bug Badge!

Huh.

Sprite: <Ooh.>

Hotel Richissime, Craw's room

-Crewe is on her laptop, looking up the Kalosian gyms-

Grass I can handle... Fighting I can handle... Fairy and Psychic, probably? But Rock... and Ice... I don't know if Clockwise can handle those on his own... Maybe Jacob's right, and this whole experiment will inevitably end in failure, and then all I'll have accomplished is proving how terrible a Trainer I am...

-she looks up and smiles as Clockwise flies in the window-

Hey, buddy. You eat the sun?

Clockwise: <Yep!> ^_^

Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!

Mezzo: Nope. You think maybe they have them in the next city?

Sirius: <Um... Uncle Shadow?>

Shadow: <Yes?>

-Shadow is currently repairing a sentry gun under fire from a Scout-

Sirius: <I still don't know what to evolve into...>

Shadow: <Well, you have to ask yourself what you want to be.>

-a few grenades land near the sentry; Shadow doesn't notice-

Sirius: <Oh...>

Shadow: <It's your decision, and don't feel like you need to rush— Ugh, not again.>

-the grenades explode, killing Shadow's engineer and wrecking his sentry-

Shadow: <Where did that Demoman come from?>

Sirius: <I'm sorry... I'll let you go back to playing.>

-meanwhile, Fortis has been scouting out the city-

Fortis: Oh wow, it's so pretty!

-from the top of the Prism Tower, where she is now sitting-

Fortis: Uh huh! We can see everything from up here!

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Black City

-Dragons are milling around in the streets, more or less confident in their total control over the city-

-it's at this point that there is a loud clicking from the top of an apartment building. The dragons turn to find a Dunsparce tapping its tail on the ground for attention-

Every: <Ah...excuse me, dragons, but I have an important announcement to make.>

Haxorus: -scoffs- <Really, now? And what's so important that you had to break curfew? You know that's punishable, right?>

Every: <That's part of the problem, yes. Anyway, what I've been meaning to say...your time here is over.>

Every used Screech!

-at the Screech, the streets splinter, and mons start popping out, led by Dunsparce and Excadrill-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-While most other people would freak out at being confronted by a band of armed fairy types - this barely registers on the weirdness scale for Ren.-

-Ren look around at the gathered fairy types. In addition to the Black Mage!Ralts, the Archer!Togepi, the Marauder!Mawile, and the Gladiator! Snubbull; there is a A White Mage!Floette holding a small wooden cane instead of the usual flower, A Bard!Clefairy that was a toy-sized Harp, and finally, standing behind the two Mages, is a Thief! Klefki wearing a dark green bandanna and is holding what appears to be a miniscule dagger.-

Ren: Okay, before we go any farther, I can understand you. Next, who are you and why did you attack us?

-The Gladiator!Snubbull growled.-

Gladiator!Snubbull: <We are the Mooglesguard in the service of His Majesty, King Moggle Mog XII,kupo! May his greatness last for eternity, kupo! —>

-Gladiator!Snubbull then glares harshly at Ren and company-

<— And you lot have entered his lands unbidden and uninvited, so you will leave now, or feel the wrath of the Mooglesguard, kupo!>

-Ren and his mon look at the Mooglesguard, then give each other a "Seriously?" look.-

-Ren takes out his Holo-Caster and is about to call a towing service when a booming voice his heard from behind some foliage.-

???: <Whiskerwall! What is it that disturbs my meal, kupo?>

-The Snubbull turns and bows in the direction the voice came from.-

Gladiator!Snubbull Whiskerwall: <Your Majesty! It is a band of a trainer and his companion mon, kupo! Shall I have the Mooglesguard deal out punishment to them, kupo?>

-The sound of noisy eating is heard.-

???: <Very well. I'm in the middle of my dessert and I was hoping for some entertainment to go with it, kupo. Hear me my Mooglesguard! Defeat these interlopers to my realm while I finish eating! Shaggysong will play my favorite tune. I will join the fight after I have finished my meal to finish off the remnants, kupo!>

-The fairy types salute.-

Mooglesguard: <As you command, Your Majesty!>

- The Bard!Clefairy Shaggysong starts to play a catchy tune on her harp - which somehow produces the sound of a full orchestra, rather than just a harp - as the other members of the Moogles start to sing as they prepare to attack.-

Mooglesguard:
♫Good King Moggle Mog♫
♫Good King Mog♫
♫Lord of all the land (Kupo!)♫

♫Good King Moggle Mog♫
♫Good King Mog♫
♫Rules with iron hand♫

♫Good King Moggle Mog♫

♫Good King Moggle Mog♫
♫Good King Mog♫
♫Now come along and meet his trusty crew!♫
♫Kupo!♫

-As the Marauder!Mawile attacks Kitsune with a Feint Attack, Whiskerwall sings.-

Whiskerwall Kupti Koop:
♫Kupta Kapa will clip your tuft♫
♫Split your hairs and ruffle your fluff♫

-Whiskerwall Kupti Koop charges Ren with Tackle which Ren rolls to dodge it as Archer!Togepi sings the next stanza.-

Woolywart Mogqu Kogi:
♫Kupti Koop will throw you for a loop♫
♫Brave a wall of whiskers to find his troupe♫

-The White Mage!Floette calls out "Pom-Holy!" and fires a Dazzling Gleam at Gamma as Shaggysong Puksi Piko sings about her friend.-

Puksi Piko the Shaggysong:
♫Kupli Kipp is sly yet sweet♫
♫She'll tickle your nose then tickle your feet♫

-The Theif!Klefki floats around singing his assigned verse as Archer!Togepi Mogqu Kogi nocks an arrow formed from Ancient Power and fires it at Kitsune.-

Pukna Pako the Tailturner:
♫Jolly Kogi's eye for fun is clear♫
♫He'll put an arrow straight in your rear!♫

-As the Marauder!Mawile Kupta Kapa takes a turn to sing, the Black Mage!Ralts Pukla Puki calls out "Pom Flare!" and launches a Hidden Power-Fire at Rio.-

Ruffletuft Kupta Kapa:
♫Pukla Puki plays with fire♫
♫Poms a-burning on his pyre♫

-As Pukla Puki's turn to sing comes up, Shaggysong Puksi Piko's fingers glow as she plays the harp causing glowing music notes to form in the air before entering Theif!Klefki Pukna Pako.-

Pukla Puki the Pomburner:
♫Puksi Piko likes her buddies big♫
♫To sing a little song and dance a little jig♫

-As Kupli Kipp sings her verse, Pukna Pako runs up to Gamma and smacks the Porygon with a Play Rough.-

Furryfoot Kupli Kipp:
♫Pukna Pako shivers and shakes♫
♫He'll stick you in the gut and give you bellyaches♫

-Retreating quickly from Gamma's proximity, Pukna Pako sings again.-

Pukna Pako the Tailturner:
♫And who's behind them, standing tall?♫
♫Why, the biggest moogle of them all!♫

Mooglesguard:
(Who!? Who!? Whoever could it be!?)♫

♫Good King Moggle Mog♫
♫Good King Mog♫
♫Kind and noble lord (hear, hear!)♫

-The Mooglesguard now floats and hops around, using special attacks taking random shots at the area around Ren, forcing him to roll to safety or use his obscura gloves to block the absorb the attacks, while others use special attacks to take shots at Kitsune Rio, and Gamma as they continue to sing.-

Puksi Piko the Shaggysong:
♫Nod your noggle nog♫
♫And mind your gob♫
♫Or he'll put you to the sword!♫

Mooglesguard:
♫Good King Moggle Mog♫
♫Good King Mog♫
♫His judgment you will dread♫

♫Good King Moggle Mog♫
♫Good King Mog♫
♫What do you decree?♫
♫What do you decree?♫
♫What do you decree?♫

-A large Wigglytuff lumbers out from behind some foliage. It is wearing an ornate crown and holding a large scepter with a colossal jewel sphere inset in the end. The Wigglytuff glares at Ren and co. Then, with a mighty swing, brings the scepter down to point at them. proclaiming...-

King Moggle Mog XII: Off with their heads!

-The Mooglesguard cheers as King Moogle Mog the XII makes his entrance.-

Skater Girl: You're this Petilil's trainer, right?

Sandy: Um, yes. Is she not allowed to play in the fountain?
