ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Fall City

Snowy: <Oh, it's only borin' if you fink in a straight line. Finkin' outside the box gives you a lot of options.>

Fall City

-Newt stretches and yawns-

<Alright, I'll see. How do I think out of the box?>

Fem!Pent!Aspect: Honestly, I don't see why they thought it was a bad thing... Of course, I do have an inkling of how to break him out~...

Pentscape, Bar

Deziree: Oh~?

Ajax: Uh oh.

Lumoise City

Fool: Hello dear~

Orcus: <Hello Tagg~> :3

Lars: <Evening Asshole 1>

On cue, Lars receives a tail slap from Orcus. Meanwhile, Fool takes note of Tagg's change of attire.

Fool: Nice formalwear. I'm guessing you were trying to snag one of those mega Stones from the emporium? Lousy bunch of extortionists...

Fem!Pent!Aspect: Yes, I maintain a professional agreement with a recent aspect. One you might be familiar with, around the same time Hex "vanished" he came into possession of something called "The Fluid Medium". Along with some other rumors floating about, I have suspicion that the key to Hex's cell was split into three parts.

Fall City

Snowy: <That's easy! You just hafta->

(Snowy is interrupted by a red blur that suddenly punches Newt off the tree and occupies her branch.)

Tungvikt: <HA! IS MIGHTY WRESTLER'S TREE NOW, BABY!>

Pentscape, Bar

Deziree: "The Fluid Medium", huh...?

Ajax: No one splits a key unless they are very serious about keeping whatever it locks locked. Surely there are defenses around them.

Fall City

-Newt is knocked off-

<Would you mind tellin' me later, Snowy?>

-forms a cluster of icicles above Tungvikt, then punches the ground, sending the Hawlucha and the branch cascading to the ground-

Fem!Pent!Aspect: I dunno darl, but Grey's not guarding the Fluid any more than he does the other little trinkets he picks up at night.

Fall City

(Tungvikt manages to cling to the branch the whole way down.)

Tungvikt: <IS MY BRANCH! NOT YOURS!>

Fall City

Newt: <Oh, am I taking something that's not mine? You say that like I ain't a thief.>

-forms Ice Shards and tosses them at Tungvikt-

Yup.

-Pulls out the Venusaurite-

Pentscape, Bar

Deziree: "Grey"?

Ajax: I'm going to take a wild guess and say that he represents neutrality.

Fem!Pent!Aspect: He's the Grey Fox. So I suppose you're sorta right.

Fall City

(Tungvikt is fainted. As his body falls, Newt is hugged by her little sister.)

Lumoise

Fool: Nice catch. I have a small box of Mega Stones packed up at the apartment, though Orcus here keeps his on at all times.

Orcus shows of his Megastone which is tied around his neck like a pendant~

Orcus: <It's a pretty pebble of power!>

Lars: <...I'm surrounded by idiots>

Fool: Oh by the way, that suit looks rather dashing on you. Maybe you should wear formal attire more often~

Fool gives a playful smile and a wink at Tagg while Lars makes gagging gestures.

Fall City

-Newt is hugged-

<Erk! Um, why the affection, sis?>

Pentscape, Bar

-Ajax almost drops his chess piece in shock.-

Ajax: The Grey Fox?

Deziree: One moment.

-Deziree grabs a bottle of liquor, pours herself a glass, takes a sip, and then spews it all over Ajax.-

Deziree: The Grey Fox is an aspect here?!

Fall City

Snowy: <Because I love you and he's so annoyin' fank you!> :3

Fem!Pent!Aspect: Honey, it's a pretty common thing around here for aspects to be created by or develop into alternate identities when they're needed. That's pretty much how Hex came about in the first place.

Fall City

-Newt pats Snowy's back-

<Fank you, sis. You'll end up doin' much greater things than nicking some things and beatin' up birds, ya know.>

Pentscape, Bar

Deziree: ... Oh. Well, when you word it like that, that seems pretty reasonable. How did Hex come around?

Ajax: It might give us a clue as to why he's incarcerated.

Fall City

Snowy: ...

(Happy tears prick the Sneasel's eyes, and she hugs Newt even harder.)

Fem!Pent!Aspect: A while back, there was this huge cloud of obscura stuff over Sinnoh. And Pent got caught up in it. While trying to sort out how to fix things, he fell in with the wrong person and crafted the Hex personality to cope with it, said wrong person was the guy who ended up creating the cloud in the first place. He taught Hex how to use auric powers and sent him off to prevent the team from gaining the stuff needed to clear out the obscura.
