-Dune chokes on his soda while Deziree's jaw drops at Vyv's display.-

Dune: *Cough* What was *hack* that?!

Slateport

-Eskay blinks at Vyvyan, but remains quiet.-

Mauville City

-Zeal and Gui are back here, Lucia is also around.-

Route 110

-Savannah and Zelner are here.-

Slateport

Vyvyan: Point A: I have met some of your friends here, and they're nice people. Helped me out a through a few tough times here and there. Point B: Well... how do I explain this.

Vyvyan ponders for a moment while Levi and Santiago return to his sides.

Levi: You see. Vyv here is a Lord of the Skies, but not the Lord of the Skies. You know what I'm saying?

Santiago: It's a long story, but all three of us belong to a nebulous new category of apotheotic dieties.

Vyvyan: In orther words, Genetically Altered Gods.

Levi: Heh, GAG

Santiago: Long story short, we were subject to medical experiments and became New dieties of the Land, Sea and Skies! Ain't that neat?

Vyvyan facepalms.

Vyvyan: Could you say that any louder?

Salvador: So wait... all of you ar-

Salvador takes another look at Levi and Santiago.

Salvador: I guess the best way to hide a needle is to disguise it as a needle...

Great Tree

-After a bit more walking, the group arrives at the next Jabbi fortress-

-110 Jabbi come pouring out of the hive and all look ready to attack-

-The Punies look ready to attack too-

Punio: <...Uh, guys, could you stand down?>

Puniper: <What?>

-Puniper is not the only one whose grumbling can be heard-

Punio: <...Could we speak with the head of this fortress?>

Jabbi #1: <...Why?>

Jabbi #2: <What do you want with her?>

Punio: <Well...>

<We wanted to see if we could negotiate a Peace Treaty.>

-Crow has come here with Gogie and Chirin-

Crow: "Huh."

-After hearing Styx, Vyvyan, Santiago, and Levi...-

Ren: -Blinks-

Ren: <So... you three are, for all intents and pruposes, an artificially created Weather Trio?>

Kitsune: <Well there goes the neighborhood.>

Levi:

Salvador shakes his head, and blinks a few times.

Salvador: -To Arika- Are you ready to move along?

Slateport

Dune: Woah. That's *cough* pretty intense.

Deziree: Holy crap! I couldn't even begin to list the number of possible complications that could happen from that sort of scientific work!

Great Tree

Candace: <Hm. Well, we are negotiating from a new position of power...>

-Goombella just looks around, staying quiet.-

Slateport

-Eskay finally speaks-

Eskay: ...Out of curiosity... do you three have the same Attributes that your quote-unquote "parent" Legendaries have?

Slateport

Ren: <I'm just going to stop there before I break my mind.>

-Also turning to Arika-

Ren: <I'm agreeing with the Reverend Father. We're ready when you are, Arika.>

Slateport

Vyvyan: Well we weren't created completely from scratch. I used to be just some lackey working for a Neo Team Magma before I was abducted and experimented on.

Vyvyan gestures a thumb at Levi and Santiago. Levi seems to be blowing a sea bubble around himself.

Vyvyan: These two, I don't know what their story is - and neither do they - but I don't think it's out of the question that they were in the same boat that I was.

Vyvyan looks over to Eskay. Meanwhile Levi floats happily in his sea bubble while Santiago stealthily opens a small lava pool underneath him.

Vyvyan: I think so. Would explain how I was able to keep my memories but they were not.

When Levi realizes how boiling hot his water bubble is, he yelps out a Wilhelm Scream and shoots up in the air.

Santiago: Hah!

Before landing on Santiago.

Levi: @_@

Santiago: @_@

Vyvyan: :/

Deziree: Wow, you guys are like brothers!

Dune: They very well might be.

-Dune and Deziree can't help but snerk at the water shenanigans.-

Dune: Erm, yes, anyway! Arika! Deziree brought Cube-a-tron to demonstrate to your parents.

Deziree's Backpack: Cube-a-tron is ready to serve!

Slateport

Eskay: Interesting... I'd ask more, but we have something else to take care of.

-He glances at Ren-

Eskay: Not to mention, I don't want to break my cousin any more than he already has been. I'm personally hoping this will go well enough that I won't have to demonstrate my own Heart of Gold to Arika's parents. It was... simply a bit of idle curiosity.

Vyvyan: It's something we could dabble over tea. But you're right, we have people to talk to.

Vyvyan looks over to Arika.

Vyvyan: You sure you want us along or would we be a hindrance?

Santiago: -Slightly Muffled- I think we could make an excellent point for weird factor.

Salvador: I don't see a problem. Even if I can't say I feel comfortable travelling in the presence of... false... gods... Oh WOW, that came out bad.

Vyvyan looks away and rubs his left arm in discomfort.

Ergh...

Near Vyv

Arika: You three are perfect.

Let's go.

-She and Team Umbra head into the house-

Slateport

-Eskay nods and quietly follows-

Salvador follows Arika.

Vyvyan grabs Santiago and Levi by the arms and drags them in.

Slateport

-Dune and Deziree follow as well. Meanwhile, their three shadows follow them.-

FAUM

-Morgi wanders around corridors.-

FUAM

Jason:Well...so much for that.

-He shrugs.-

Anything else you can think of?

Slateport

-Eskay notices the third shadow and grows concerned, but remains quiet.-

Arika's House

-Daryll and Debra are in the kitchen-

Debra: Arika! You're here!

Daryll: ...And you brought a lot of guests.

Arika: Mom, Dad, this is the J-Team, who I've been traveling with for two years. Well, some of them.

Slateport

Vyvyan: -Still holding Santiago and Levi- I'm more of an acquaintance, but still a friend.

Salvador bows.

Salvador: It's a pleasure to meet you...

Arika's House

Dune: I'm Dune.

Deziree: And I'm Deziree!

Dune: We've been with her for more around a year and a half. Or a year and three quarters. Somewhere around there.

Deziree: Arika was the first member of the team we actually talked to!
