Anistar City

-Deziree goes bright red as Dune blinks and proceeds to turn one shade brighter.-

Dune: Um well uh uh.

Deziree: I um we uh.

Selene: <Get a good meal, make sure you go to the bathroom beforehand, and get yourself a totem. That should be about it.>

Illusion HQ - Sometime later

After her interview with her superiors and after she had unpacked her things in her assigned room. Maria is currently bouncing her way to the lunch room, carrying a pink notepad (with darker pink love-hearts all over it) and a red pen with heart motifs all over it.

Maria: Aie~ Can't wait to observe all the members here in their everyday lives and help them find the person of their dreams (except if they've already found them~)! A little bit a love makes the world go round they say

Maria sighs dreamily

Maria: Maybe I'll see my marquis/prince in rags again~ Oh this is going to be magical~

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Route 18

Ever: ...Uh, well then. Probably a good idea, anyway.

-sends out Skoll, who yips-

Ever: Skoll, keep an eye out for Durant.

Skoll: <I will.>

Ever: Also, anything that says Corphish. Light it up.

Skoll: -sprays Ever with fire-

Ever: ...Except me.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Kitsune: <At the Christmas Party, yeah, we know.>

Ren: -shaking his head- <The cleaning staff wouldn't stop gossiping for weeks... Though back on topic, when should we attempt at least a recon mission?>

Locke nodded."Yes yes, I see. Gundam, ice him. In theory, that should slow down the recovery process. Or it might not. Test it."

Gundam:"<Affirmative.>" Frost suddenly grows on his fist, as he rushes forward to hit Reuiniculus with an Ice Punch.

Anistar City

-Dune and Deziree both stutter and eventually stop making words.-

Selene: <Tomorrow evening, probably. Or even the day after.>

Garuda: <However, for the sake of the director's mental health, I must ask you to please stop scandalizing him. And Deziree. Considering the two match biorhythms at night, one being distressed will likely affect the other.>

Grande Vallee Way

Mezzo: So is there anything here other than Durant?

-a Durant pops out of the grass, which is promptly hit by a stream of yellow flame from Butterscotch-

Mezzo: Actually, I don't care. Let's get out of here.

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

-Echo may receive a call-

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Xanadu, Forest Sector, Sunday

-Maggie is still running along-

"Don't worry, murder is a sign of affection." - An amalgamation of Dunsparce

Illusion HQ

-Echo answers-

Echo: Hello?

Route 18

Ever: ...Right.

-he and Skoll flee down the route-

Xanadu, Forest Sector, Sunday

Tree: -launches a volley of Poison Stings and a Shadow Ball at Maggie-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Anistar City

Reuniclus takes damage from the Ice Punch; the freezing cold phazes him more than the punch itself.

Robin: How are you holding up?

Reuniclus: F-f-f-fine...

Robin: -taptaptap- This is taking longer than I thought it would...

Roll with the flow, roll with the flow...Shadow Ball, again!

Reuniclus: A-a-a-alright...

Zrone: "Hello again~ Neo Galactic is starting to move into the regions we've fortified so I'm coming TODAY~ Hope you're ready~"

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Anistar City

Sakura is watching the GreNinja Squad train while eating some popcorn.

"It's so nice to see how they're working really hard to become effective ninjas! Teishi's father would be proud of him I bet. I kinda wish I could do more to assist them in their little ninja missions... Maybe I could..." thought Sakura, lost in her thoughts

Suddenly she feels someone grab her by the collar from behind

"I know exactly what you're thinking! Come with me!" the voice was clearly Hikari's.

Hikari then proceeds to basically kidnap Sakura and bring her to the Pokémon Center by dragging her along.

Illusion HQ

Echo: ...Well, I guess we're likely not going to get any other easy opportunities. We're ready.

Xanadu, Forest Sector, Sunday

-Maggie is struck by the Poison Stings, but manages to avoid the Shadow Ball, but does recoil a bit from the loss in health-

Maggie: ...Wait... What was-

"Don't worry, murder is a sign of affection." - An amalgamation of Dunsparce

Grande Vallee Way

Durant: <So why do you care so much about Durant?>

Mezzo: Why do I—

-Mezzo yelps as she notices that Butterscotch is now a Durant-

Mezzo: Don't do that! And because those things are pure evil, that's why! Now come on, run!

Durant: <Fine.>

-and they follow behind Ever-

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

Xanadu — Past

-While Maggie is occupied with her opponent, Clemont is searching...-

Clemont: ...The only way this could even be possible is if the signal was coming from... a sector that doesn't exist...

Kitsune: <But it's soooo fuuun~>

Ren: <Kitsune, please.>

Kitsune: <Awwwwww>

Ren: -to Selene- <Okay, understood. Just give me a buzz and I'll be there.>

-Kitsune gets a slightly evil grin and starts licking Ren ears.>

Ren: .////.

<ooooohhhh~>

>////<

<Kitsune! Later!>

Kitsune: <I hold you to that~>

Ren: >////<

-to Dune an co.- <I guess we should probably let you plan...>

Anistar City

Dune: Oh um yeah right we'll plan.

Selene: <Garuda and I need to practice syncing our mental skills some.>

Garuda: <It will be a bit difficult, considering the differences between the two of us. But we will work it out.>

Selene: <I'm not a Psychic type, I'm self-taught, I'm female... and he's... not any of those things. Double-negative included.>

Illusion HQ - Lunch Room

Maria makes herself a cup of tea as she familiarise herself with the Illusion members (as well as jot down all her ships).

Ishtar, her Florges, sits by the counter-tops and starts doing up her "hair" again.

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Illusion HQ

Zrone: "Good, then I can switch from this call to the Airship's mic system!"

Couriway Town

-In the sky a rather out of place sky-colored blob that's been there a couple of minutes suddenly stops semi-blending in with the sky and reveals itself as a massive Airship that flies past the water fall-

-Multi-colored lights bathe over the area as a voice rings out from inside the ship-

Zrone: "Good evening, everyone!"

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Anistar Pokémon Center

Sakura and Hikari are now in the latter's room, sitting on the bed.

"So, here's the plan. You wear a Greninja-themed Super Sentai suit, get the GreNinja Squad join you and then become a heroine and fight crime with them!" said Hikari

Sakura blinks "... Are you serious?"

"Hey, come on! That would be really cool! I can even provide you with some wonderful toys!" said Hikari, looking really pumped.

Sakura sighs "Hikari, I'm a normal girl. I'm not fit to be a heroine. Besides everyone in the J-Team would know it's me under the suit because at least some of them know Teishi's the leader and he's my Pokémon."

Hikari stops to think for a moment "... I know! I could have you use some kind of accessory that can change your voice and make you sound like a man! Everybody would be fooled, even the Aurics!"

"... So you want me to pull a Samus on everyone?"

"Yes! That would be so fun!"

Sakura winces "Except for the part where I can get killed by criminals."

"Hey, I'll make sure to give you help and the Squad is going to make sure you stay alive. Besides, ninjas are about stealth, not fighting! You just need to be careful and you won't even get seen, much less killed."

"And where will I get the training to do that?"

"Train with them, duh! I bet they can help you with some stealth techniques!" Hikari then stops to contain the excitement "Come on Sakura, if we work together, this way we can make a difference! We'll be able to help deal with the problems that arise from time to time and with some effort on our part, we're going to be a great team! At least give it a try and see if you can handle it."

Sakura sighs and tries thinking it over for a moment

"... Acting like a vigilante can cause me some trouble with the law, right?" she asked

"Well, you're a Pokémon Ranger, it's your job to enforce the law no? Then I guess you'd be fine."

"I don't think it works that way..." Sakura then sighs again "... So, the plan is to have me pretend to be a man, have Teishi's group train me and assist me at being a heroine, dressed in a Greninja suit, keeping my identity hidden from everyone and fight crime? All the while you'll be guiding me by communicating with me from afar?"

Hikari nods "You don't really need to keep your identity hidden though..."

Sakura narrows her eyes a bit "Oh, but I will. This idea is just embarrassing."

"Well... Are you up for it or not?" asked Hikari

"... I can give training a shot, maybe see if I'm fit for this kind of work or not. If I'm going to become an actual heroine, that we'll see later."

Hikari fist pumps "Yes! My childhood dreams are becoming reality!"

Sakura just plain sweatdrops.

Ren: -still blushing- <Then we'll see you later then, we should probably prepare too.>

Keys: <That a Double Entendre too?> >:D

Ren: <Stop making everything so difficult!> >_<

Keys: <That's what she said!>

Ren: -Running away in abject horror and embarrassment- <GAAAAAHHHHHH!>

Rio: -Nodding- <We await your call.>

-Pierre dispels the SEP Field and he and the rest of Ren's team follow the Retreating Braixen.-

-Keys' voice can be heard sing as he leaves.-

Keys: <♪And I touched you♪
♪And I felt you♪
♪And I heard those ravishing refrains♪
♪The music of your pulse♪
♪The singing in your veins♪

♪And I held you♪
♪And I touched you♪
♪And embraced you♪
♪And I felt you♪>

-Garuda watches the proceedings impassively.-

Garuda: <I believe I shall never get romance.>

Selene: <That's probably for the best.>

-Dune and Deziree head back to the Center, the two of them still somewhat flabbergasted.-

Etna: <Hoo boy, another awkward night for everyone! Oh joy.>
