T=02 Hours, Dragonscorched Fishery

-The fishery building is mostly intact, most of the damage being a simple matter of scorches to the exterior. The smell coming off it is appropriately rancid, a combination of fish guts, burnt fish and the spray coming in from the ocean-

Bleh, terrible. Absolutely terrible. With a smell like that it's repelling more than dragons. >_<

-Pent approaches the entrance to the fishery-

Hello? Anyone here..?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Slateport Hotel

-Today, Lucius just broke his own personal record for "widest grin ever grinned".-

Lucius: Nice to see you again, Duke.

Slateport Center

<I just hope I can get this bandaging off soon so I can find out if I'm able to shift while I'm on Duke's team or not>

Center Lobby

-Tori giggles, and removes her now slimy hand-

Dragonscorched Fishery

-Satele absolutely refuses to approach the building, eliciting a consternated frown from Selene. Selene and Earwen follow anyway, as Satele attempts to not lose what little is left of her lunch.-

Selene: Hellooooooooooooooooooooo-oooooooooooooooo!

Earwen: I must say, this is exceptionally disgusting. Exceptionally disgusting.

Slateport Center

Louis:-3-

-Maria giggles.-

Maria:Well...I should work on finding a ball for this guy.

Slateport Hotel

Duke begins to get up, leaving the comicbook on the couch. He stares at Lucius in disbelief for a brief moment before pulling him into a tight hug that's weak enough to not hurt Lucius. No questions, no words, just a hug.

Slateport Center

Eskay: You should be able to, if I'm not wrong about how the Vow works. Like, for some reason there seems to be some sort of exception for trainers who already know about the Armbands or something. I'm not really sure the exact details, but Diane's able to go back and forth even though Skye's now technically her trainer.

Slateport Hotel

-Lucius chuckles slightly-

Lucius: Oh, uh, heh, didn't expect affection from you of all people.

-He hugs back.-

Over the Horizon Hotel, Petalburg

Ray groaned as she lay flat on her back, the soft material of the bed nursing her aching muscles."Well, looks like I'm going to be in for some fun later on, aren't I.." She looked to the side of her bed, where her Prowler gear lay, and began to remember the events of before..

Petalburg Streets, last night

With one final tug, Ray placed her helmet on in front of the shop mirror, and Prowler grinned back at her from the mirror's reflection. She slid her batons in the leg holsters, and hopped on to her bike, whistling to herself as she revved up her bike, riding off on her patrol."Well, time for patrol."

Petalburg Streets, last night

Catherine groaned as she stepped out, a white harlequin mask on her face, looking at a museum in front of them."Well, I was told to get all of the Mega Stones that I could..but man, I hate doing this. Gaah..I'll explain this to the HQ later."

Slowly but surely, clad in an all black combat gear that she had found on her desk, she slinked towards what seemed to be a rock museum, slowly and surely. The security guard, big, bulky and mean looking, was prowling around the main door, so she sighed and went to the side of the building, where she could spot a glass case, fitted out with Houndoom prowling around it. Digging around her belts, she brought out two Pokeballs, and as she did so, she admired the way the tiny Illusion "I" on her cuffs caught the moonlight."Surprising how Wesker's into fashion. Ah well, Kalosians seem to be pretty good at this.."

Opening her Pokeballs, she lets out Verona the Mismagius, and Shifty the Parasect. Verona smirked at her."<Robbing a bank, are we? You're finally meshing in with Illusion, fair child.>" Her voice echoed in Catherine's mind, causing her to shake her head in distress."Yeah well, gonna have to, aren't I?" She looked down at the snoozing Shifty, and frowned."Okay, so Verona, could'ya please phase us through, and wake Shifty here for a bit so that he can use some Sleep Powder?"

Verona nodded, and phased them through, however, as she did, she didn't realize that at they moment, the watchful eye of Prowler, watching them from across the street.

Petalburg Streets, Five Minutes later

Catherine phased out of the museum, a satchel containing the Megastone slung around her hip, sighing in relief."Finally, I can get back to the base with some things to show for it, hehe.." She then hears something, a revving of a motor, and her head shot up, witnessing Prowler racing towards her on a rapidly closer and closer motorcycle."Ah, crap."

Scrambling, Catherine rushed forward, running as fast as she could, before looking back and realizing that there was no way she could make it back to the hotel on foot. Thus, panickingly grabbing at her Pokeball, she sent out Bradley the Golem, who rolled out towards Prowler, while she kept her head straight ahead, not daring to look behind her.

Gritting her teeth under her helmet, Ray sent out Balthazar, who Double Kicked Bradley off to the side, over which Prowler rode over, hopping off of her bike to rush at Catherine, her batons out at the ready.

Doing her best not to groan as her back was slammed by Prowler, flinging a fist wildly behind her. Upon hearing a sharp cry of pain, she pushed Prowler off of her, scrambling up the building in front of her, using every window sill and door handle as hand and foot holds as best as she could.

Growling, Prowler rushed up the ladder next to the building after her, only to find no one there at the top of the building..as if the thief had vanished in thin air. Frustrated, she kicked at the air in anger, and slowly climbed down."Not letting you go this easy, Clown Thief. I'm gonna find you, believe me."

Ruby room

Marie lay flat on her stomach, and ice pack on her back, as she rolled the Mega stones around in her hands,. Her eyes were wide in tandem with a smile on her face, marvelling at the inner glow, the DNA symbol swirling around."Took a lot to get ya, you little rocks. Let's hope it was worth the beating."

Slateport Hotel

"It's not everyday you see a friend come back from the dead," said Duke, still hugging Lucius. "Welcome back."

Slateport Center

<I was not aware of that... But Crewe's a weremon with a ball, and she can change whenever she want. Heck, she suggested I find someone I trust to keep a ball for me as a precaution...>

-He pauses-

<Well, only one way to find out for sure>

Center Lobby

Tori: "Alright, see you two later!"

-Inside the fishery, a sort of fort of blankets and other cloth has been assembled in a corner, the visible entrance into this construct is held closed tightly with pegs, buttons and whatever other fasteners it's creator could find. However, the place is silent, with no sign of someone else being here at the moment-

Huh, must be out...

-Pent approaches the domicile carefully-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Slateport Hotel

Lucius: It's good to be back. Is Lyuri around? I think I have a few apologies for both of you.

Slateport Center

Eskay: Yeah. Hopefully a nurse or someone will be in here to get those bandages off you soon.

Dragonscorched Fishery

Selene: Easy, Pent... If Dune's games are anything to go by, survivors tend to booby trap their sleeping quarters.

-Earwen, meanwhile, scans the ceiling, or what's left of it.-

Anywhere

-anyone exists-

-ANYONE-

-absolutely any of my characters that has shown for even one second. If not, invent something to see!-

???

Entropy: ...and for my next trick, I'll cut off some poor sap's Wi-Fi while he has timeskips to write! Mwahahaha!

Simon: Why are you so petty?

Entropy: Why are you so boring?

The Sky, TS

(In the distance, a huge pyramidal shape can be seen drifting through a wall of fluffy white clouds.)

Kulshedra <Finally. Now can I please eat the little red one when you disembark?>

Belinda: (exasperated) Kulshedra, no.

Slateport, TS

(When the unmasked Magma man finally manages to speak, his voice has a sharp, reedy tone to it, a stark contrast with his inhumanly deep filtered speech. He still faces the ground, trying to avoid Salvador's gaze out of defiance.)

HephaestusMuhammad: Go ahead. Hit me with your best shot.

Tastes better on the way back down.

Slateport Center

<Nothing to do but wait I suppose>

-Shinobi shrugs, and flick open the 3DS. Shortly after it's booted up a nurse walks in with a clipboard-

"Excuse me, Mr. Duke? I'm here to see your Greninja..."

-The nurse looks up, and pauses when he sees Shinobi with the game, the open laptop, and the stack of books on the night stand-

"...Has he been...?"

Slateport

-similarly to the bickering Latios and Simon, there are two young women with red hair arguing loudly near them-

Slateport Hotel

Duke then breaks the hug and raised an eyebrow "Apologies?"

Near the Latii

(Entropy is suddenly right next to the two Latias, wearing his best illusory cocky smirk.)

Entropy: Well, hel-lo there! I'm assuming you're in on this whole J-Team thing too?

(Simon is confused... well, up until the part where he notices his hat is now on fire. Then he's panicking.)

Tastes better on the way back down.

Near The Latii

-one of the two Latii is approximately as punk as Entropy-

Latias 1: Sod off, cunt. I'm arguing with my girlfr-

Latias 2: We're not girlfriends!

Latias 1: Where have you been the past two years, then?

Latias 2: Friends, is the official term!

Latias 1: No it isn't!

An Undisclosed Location in Norther Scotland

-a Vivillon flits out of the tablet of a certain writer and grows an arm-

-the arm slaps him-

Tinpthed: <pacecraft currently headed out of the Solar System by way of Pluto, is never going to catch up to Voyager—it’s not moving fast enough and it’s headed in the wrong direction. But it could have.

The reason Voyager is moving so fast is that it got gravitational assists fro>

-she flits back inside the tablet-

Slateport

-The flames dissapate... -

-And Lexaeus stands triumphantly over an un-Mega'd Seishirou-

Mega!Lexaeus: <You seriously thought you could beat me? Fool.>

Fuuma: <Dammit.>

-Zexion just smirks-

Seishirou: <Rrrgh...>

-Lexaeus reverts to his normal form-

Umbra: So are you two going to ease up on each other now?

Seishirou and Lexaeus: <Nope.>

-Umbra sighs-

Contact Me!

Slateport Center

-Eskay looks at the nurse with the most flat-faced expression he has ever given.-

Eskay: Yes. He has been.

Slateport Hotel

Lucius: Well, yeah. The last time you saw me, I'd almost committed suicide. Kind of a bad last impression to make before I actually died. So... yeah. Sorry about that.

The Sky, TS

-Morgi watches the Salamenace suspiciously.-

Soon as I have somethin' solid to stand on...

Slateport

Entropy: Awwwwww, twoo wuv~

(He clicks his fingers, and a giant neon love heart appears above the Latias' heads and hovers there, surrounded by pink ribbons.)

Entropy: o3o

Tastes better on the way back down.

The Sky, TS

Jason:-is too busy staring at FUAM.-Woah...amazing!

-His grin grows tenfold.-
