"Less destiny, more bad luck. Catch!"
He tosses a glass globe at Blitz. It is filled with a pure black liquid - condensed dark Obscura.
"Save that for a rainy day. One free illusion - just smash the globe."

Lifealope and Fool take a sip of their tea.
Fool: So, did anything happen over the last day or so?
Xerneas also takes a sip of his tea before reply.
Xerneas: Nothing out of the usual. Recorded down the events on my Scroll of the Years, read through a few of the books and scrolls given to me over the years. Groundon suggested to I get a "gaming rig" set up in my humble abode, though I am not sure how to go about such a task. Or if it's even my type of entertainment.
Lifealope: {...I could always help cousin...}
Xerneas: Cousin, the breeds and hybrids of cháhuā you have supllied me with are fine enough. I do not want to take advantage of your charity...
Lifealope: {...Understood...}
Fool: Speaking of, what have you gotten up to in recent times, Tagg dear? I don't think we've had an opportunity for leisurely conversation in quite some time~

Blitz catches the orb and glares skeptically at the object
Blitz: "Illusion huh? Like making tables float with magnets? Or nightmare inducing hallucinations?"

"More the second - tell me you aren't so ignorant that you are unaware of the four powers, right? Psychics, Aurics, Obscurics? Ring a bell?"
Snowbelle
Blitz: "I've heard of Psychics and Aurics, but not Obscurics. But that's all ancient history or parlor tricks anyway. And I thought you said four? that's only three."

"Ah, well, there's two types of Obscura - dark and ghost. But no, kiddo, that ain't history. Hell, look at me!"
He pulls off his coat, revealing his metal arms.
"I'm a Arceusdamn cyborg powered by a Rotom! Kiddo, our world is wild, wide, and weird. And you're about to be thrown into the thick of it."

Nothing super exciting, if that's what you're wondering. Just my usual cocking things up.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Eclipse the Moon
?
Fool doesn't know how to respond to that other than with a hug.
Xerneas: Something else seems like it's troubling you, my child. Are you willing to discuss it...?

Blitz takes a quick step away from the metal man but attempts to laugh it off
Blitz: "Ha, nice costume you've got there. Did you get in a fight with the pokeball factory or something?"

Snowbelle
The man stares at Blitz. Slowly, calmly, he proceeds to remove his left arm.
With the same deadpan expression, he silently waves it at Blitz.
He then puts it back on.
Snowbelle
Blitz just stares. There can be only 2 options at this point: this is serious, or someone spiked the coco.
He slips the orb into a bag in the meantime

The man clicks his teeth.
"Man, you shoulda seen me when these were still power armor, instead of my limbs. Good times. Beat the shit outta lotta Cipher asshats in these. Oh! Habi, you wanna say hello?"
The hologram projector in his left shoulder whirs to life, and projects the image of the young, orange hoodied girl with silver hair.
Habitatus: "Hello! I am the Rotom that powers the limbs! My name is Habitatus! It is a pleasure to meet you!"
The Wanderer
Nearly everyone from before we killed 'M is gone, my attempt at revenge cost me two friendships, and there are days when I wonder if Herbert's right and all I do have are a bunch of sycophants.

Blitz numbly waves
Blitz: "Uh, hi Habi."

Habitatus: "Hello! Now, goodbye!"
The hologram shuts off.
"Whelp. Good luck. If you keep your shit together, I can tell you this. You're gonna go far, kid."
He wanders off into the shadows, humming.
"Dance, fucker, dance..."

Fool: ...
Xerneas inhales deeply before breathing out in a heavy sigh.
Xerneas: ...You are troubled by the loss of a good friend, one you felt very close too. I know how that can feel...
Xerneas walks over to his collection of scrolls and pulls out one in particular, rolling it across the grass. It appears that, over time, Xerneas has recorded and sketched on this scroll all of the people and Pokemon who have visited him over the years (with a rather noticeable blank section)
Xerneas: ...Those of our kin are more used to that feeling than you know.
Lifealope: {...Regardless, it is important that you never let your sadness or fear consume you...}
Xerneas: -Eyeing over the scroll- Cousin is right. From sadness and fear comes hatred, and when one becomes consumed by their hate... they seldom return from it. I have seen it happen too many times over the millennia, even from friends...
Lifealope: {...Cousin is of the opinion that all creatures are born good...}
Xerneas: There is an old saying that one of my friends told me many years ago. "Things always turn out all right in the end. If things aren't all right, than it's not the end yet.

I'm guessing that blank bit would be when he was in Team Flare's clutches.
I haven't been around for all that long, but I've already learnt about what happens when you let your pain and rage take control and rule you. I'm never letting that happen again, not after what it cost me, friendships and the breaking of one of my own vows regarding the ending of life. People my age are normally going into the workforce or other simple stuff, not projecting the will of the gods. I feel so old sometimes...

Lifealope: You'd be correct.
Xerneas: Sometimes, harsh circumstances befall those who are young. And as a result, it gives off the impression that one has aged faster than the average person. Yet something tells me that a person such as yourself would not be content in an "average" lifestyle, to be honest...
Xerneas rolls back up the Scroll of the Years.
Xerneas: Drink some more tea. It is a special brew that helps one attain a certain... peace of mind...

Blitz watches as the stranger leaves before examining the obscura filled globe again.
Blitz: "J-team huh? What was that all about??" Blitz slips the object back into his bag and starts walking back to his room.
[screaming in the distance]
Lumiose City – Past
Eridanus: So we're back to Lumiose City... it's in the middle of region. What a convenience. *growl* Wait... Oh... I think we haven't had a good lunch in a while, being occupied with the nirnroot thing. How much money we have? Hmm... Few hundred bucks, that's enough. Now where's a good restaurant in this city? "Screw it, I AM going to enjoy this game!"
You're shivering. Are you afraid?
Snowbelle City
-Mezzo is talking to Forte; Icicle is rolling around in the snow nearby-
Mezzo: Yeah, the Gym here is Ice type. Honestly, I don't see how it could be any other type.
Forte: Oh, well I have Fireball and Tangent has Lua, so that should be pretty easy.
Mezzo: Also, something weird happened yesterday. So I accidentally Mega Evolved—
Forte: Oh, don't tell me you have that stupid Mega stuff too. That's so cheap and unfair!
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.
Dunsparce Cloud
Snowbelle City
Ever: It's not that bad.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
You're shivering. Are you afraid?
Snowbelle City
Forte: Yes it is! I lost a battle because this jerk did that to his Alakazam and wiped out my whole team!
Mezzo: You lost to an Alakazam? Hold on, can't every Eeveelution learn Shadow Ball?
Forte: It didn't help!
Mezzo: Anyway, let me finish. So I accidentally Mega Evolved Yin and then Felis tried to insult him... and then something weird happened. His eyes and his wings started glowing, and then he insulted Felis back. And I don't think he knew what was happening.
Forte: Oh... that's weird. It sounds kind of like Magic Bounce.
Mezzo: Huh?
Forte: It's an ability some Espeons can have. If you try to use any move that isn't an attack on them, they reflect it back.
Mezzo: Oh... oh wow. That's really nice.
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.
Dunsparce Cloud
Snowbelle City
Ever: Now that sounds totally unfair.
...As does a Mega Alakazam. Weren't they strong enough already?
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Blitz: "What, you mean that TV show?"
Blitz laughts at the though
Blitz: "Yeah, right. Stuff like that only happens to important people, not regular joes like me. If 'Destiny' is looking for a new 'hero' then you've come to the wrong place"
