-The translation attempt is interrupted by a completely different message-
Incoming scan data. Abnormal bioforms detected. Cosmic disturbance at Ruins site.
-A translucent map appears on everyone's visors. Although it's mostly incomplete, the area that the scan detected within the Solaceon Ruins is clear.-
Samus: <Ridley? He used to be a regular Charizard that happened to be the head of a band of Gabite thieves, but who knows what he's up to now that he's got that glitch in his grasp. It's... difficult to gauge how powerful he is now, but we'll have to find a way to restore our other abilities before we even stand a chance against him.>
-She continues through the doorway-
You're shivering. Are you afraid?

Mezzo: <Okay, so how is heading into the Solaceon Ruins and fighting a bunch of Unown going to help with that?>

Mezzo: <Hey, wait, what if someone tries to catch me?>
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

-She stares at the map for a moment, and pesumably prepares to head in that direction-
<Well, that's an interesting feature... But what's that about Unown?>

Mystery Zone Solaceon Ruins
Samus: <One of my first modifications to the suit was to prevent Pokeballs from working through them. As for the ruins, that scan detected the same sort of anomalies as the ones around Route 206. If we can find wherever the glitch in here is, we may have a chance of recovering at least some of our functionality.>
-The next hallway opens up to a massive area with several doors. Some of them are blocked off, however, but the scan data seems to be coming from the direction of one of the unblocked doors.-
-There is Unown writing everywhere, but it is all too unnaturally jumbled up to read. Several Bug-type Pokemon, including Venipede and Combee, can be seen around, but oddly, no actual Unown are anywhere in sight.-
Mystery Zone
Venomous: <Well, that solves that problem, at least...>
Wirrbelle: <Hm... Wonder what all the Bug Types are doing around here.>
Venomous: <...Does feel weird being the 'other' among this, though...>

Resort Area
Elise is asleep in her family's villa, though she seems to be having a fitful rest.
Elise's dream
Esprit stands around a rocky cliffside, looking for something. He picks up a black rock that seems out of place with everything else, and it begins to melt into his hand, eventually spreading up his arm.
Elise backs away from the sight, unsure what's going on, pixelated bolts of black electricity coming from him don't help things. When everything seems over, Esprit turns to look at her. The left half of his face is haphazardly shaded black, white, and seemingly every color in between.
"...W-What happened to your face?" Elise murmurs fearfully, backing away faster.
Esprit makes no sound, instead lunging for Elise, grabbing her arm, the effect spread to her. She scrambles to throw him off or get away, but is held firmly in place by his grasp. All she can do is scream out, at least until she too is muted.
Resort Area
Elise jerks awake, frantically scanning the room and her body, breathing a sigh of relief.
"...That....that was something I guess. "
She tries to lie back down, but the images she dreamt stay on her mind for some time.
Jubilife Last Night
Silas: Certainly. I can keep a secret just fine.
Solaceon Ruins
Aero: <I suppose we'lkk need all the funtionality we can get for these... Things>
-After a moment she gets the suit to fire a shot at the ground-
Jubilife - Last Night
Blitz: "Glad to hear it"
-He looks at the already darkening skyline as they start to head for a quiet patch of Route 202
"Hmm... Do any of your mon know Sunny Day or Morning Sun?"
I've got one if you don't
Route 202 Patch
Silas: Nope. Well. Snakeye maybe.
Snakeye: <I know Pin Missile, Bullet Seed, Solar Beam, and Leech seed.>
Rout 202 patch - last night
Blitz: "Ah, well not matter"
-As they arrive Blitz lets an Arcanine out of his ball, who yawns as his sits in the grass-
"Hey buddy, gonna need your nightlight tonight"
Ammon: <Since when have you been afraid to walk home in the dark?>
-He glances at Silias's group, and smirks-
<Oooh, I see>
Blitz: "Yeah, thanks"
-With that, Blitz looks to the sky again-
Well, the moon isn't out quite yet...
"Alright Mondo, hit it"
-The Clefairy grins at the chance to show off, and stands close to Blitz as he uses Moonlight to bathe the area immediately around the two in light. Despite that Blitz's shadow seems to darken before suddenly it and other bits of darkness form a thick black fog around him for a moment before dissipating again, leaving a Greninja standing where the boy was-

Route 202 Patch Last Night
Silas stands there for a good minute or two
Silas: ...Hacks, is this a illusion or-
Hacks: ~It's real. His Aura all checks out.~
Silas: ... *raises hand and then lowers it* ... WHAT?! What the?! How does-? Huh?! *inspects Blitz* HOW DOES THIS EVEN WORK?!
Amber: *Amazed* <Oh my Arceus it's true! THIS IS AMAZING!>
''Route 202 patch - Last Night
Mondo: <See, told ya it was impressive!>
Shinobi: <Well, uh->
-He just tries to hold still as Silias is suddenly very close. But tongue-scarf, thin scar along the side, stubby tail, it's all just as real as any other greninja-
<-Heh... the short version? "Magic">

Route 202 Patch Last Night
Silas: I have no idea what you just said...
Hacks: ~He says Magic.~
Silas: So, he doesn't understand it himself.
Hacks: *Shrugs*
Tae: <Regardless. This is amazing!>
Snakeye: *whistles a bit* <It is quite the sight to see.>
Silas: There was a rumor that the J-Team could... wait... does this mean? Okay quick question, Can the others do this and is it true Divine approval is upon the team?
Canalave City, On a Dock near the Canalave Library.
-Ren, Kitsune, and Rio are eating fish fillet sandwiches before return to the Library.-Rio: <So what are you going to look up next?>
-Ren thinks for a moment eating the last of the fillet of his sandwich before dropping the rest of the bread in the water below where a couple of Magikarp start to eat on it.-
Ren: I was thinking of looking through some lacework books before seeing if there is anything in old newspapers we can learn about Gl-
???: Return that to us at once you inflamed thief! We worked our till our skeleton was showing to get that!
??? #2: <Use proper pronouns ya freak!>
-Ren, Kitsune, and Rio turn to see a Prinplup chasing after a Chatot. The latter gripping a laminated card in its claws. While interesting, what makes the scene weird is the Prinplup...-
??? Prinplup: We are using proper language! We have read that those who think themselves precious call themselves "we"!
??? #2 Chatot: <And everyone complains about MY Chatter...>
Kitsune: <Well.>
Ren: That's different.

Route 202 patch - Last Night
Shinobi: <Yeah, I don't really get how it works. It just does. And... you'd have to ask the others yourself, but they pretty much all know about me>
-He pauses-
<But I'm not quite sure I know what you mean by 'Divine approval'? I know we've got a priest in the group somewhere though>

Battle Frontier — Past
"Oh, yeah, you guys are J-Team or whatever right? Still, having to be forced to hang around you guys just so I could keep him would be a bit... unpleasant, especially considering that I heard you guys get involved in... Weird stuff." said Akane
"<Plus it would be pretty inconvenient when I have to help Sakura and the others with their stuff, though I guess having 5 Greninja is already pretty good for that...>" Sensei shrugs
Stormchaser - Past
Sakura is talking to Daisuke
"Okay, so I need to go to the Battle Frontier to pick up Sensei and-" she then realizes it "Wait, you don't know where that place is, right?"
Daisuke just shakes his head
"... Well. That will teach me to let you guys out more often again." she sighed.
Route 202 Patch Last Night - Skepticism failing
Hacks: ~He says to ask the others and wonders about Divine approval.~
Silas: *stops inspecting Blitz* What I mean by Divine approval, there have been claims that the J-Team is personally approved of by Legendary Pokemon, technically considered gods, and is even good friends with a few of them.
Hacks: ~Sounds a bit out there.~
Silas: Hence the need to ask.
Route 202 patch - Last night
Shinobi: <Oh, well. I know J-team members have seen legendaries before, but, ah... Nobody's been striken down by them. So I guess that's a good sign?>
PEFE - Today
-Blitz appears with a ~blip~ and a Natu on his shoulder in one of the teleport areas-
Blitz: "Alright! Finally here, No more getting distracted and having weird stuff happen before I get a chance to-"
...
"Down? I thought you were taking me to the meeting room?"
Down: <I was, apparently I can't do that.>
Bliz: "So... Where are we?"
Down: <Somewhere on the island, I think>
-The boy and his bird start to walk around-
Blitz: "Right. Well, guess we won't get anywhere standing here. Hopefully this place has a handy map or something, I didn't look around much last time"

-While Ren and co. have seen some weird stuff before...-
Rio: <I think this sets a new standard for us. A Prinplup that speaks a human language fluently.>
Prinplup: You will stop moving forward and release our card you unclean filcher!
Ren: -dryly- For some definitions of "fluently".
Kitsune: <Should we step in?>
Ren: I don't think we should get involved. The Prinplup is just chasing the Chat—
Prinplup: We said to stop moving forward!
-The Prinplup fires a Bubble Beam at the Chatot, who dodges the attack, and loops backwards as the Bubble Beam shatters several pots of flowers that a Vendor was setting up.-
Flower Vendor: Okay, that tears it!
-The vendor grabs a broom and get's ready to start swing at the two bird-mon.-
Ren: And that's our cue!
-Ren hands Rio his wallet.-
Ren: -To Rio and Kitsune- You two handle the vendor. I'll deal with the chase.
Kitsune: <On it, Sweetie.>
-As Kitsune uses her telekinesis to grab the broom, Rio rushes over to discuss paying for the damages.-
Ren: -taking out a Dusk Ball- Vincent, it's time for your debut!
-Vincent immediately takes to air.-
Vincent: <So this is how it starts... A comedic chase.>
Ren: *sigh* Vincent, use Thief to get whatever that card is from the Chatot. The Prinplup can likely take from there.
Vincent: <Will do.>
-Ren watches the Murkrow zip through the air.-
Ren: Now to makes sure nothing else happens.
Stormchaser
-Sholto and Lisa are here, when the former gets a strange look on his face-
Lisa: <...What's going on?>
Sholto: <...I get the strangest feeling something just happened I'd be fairly ashamed of if I found out about.>
Lisa: <Really? If I got any sort of feeling recently, it's one of pride.>
Sholto: <...Hm...>

from the water near the dock-
