Ilya: -looks between Jacob and Sylva before nodding-

<OK!>

-to the Scythergirl-

<Why'd you break the TV and hurt my friends?>

Scythergirl: -gives a more genuine leer to the Metagross psychically pinning her- <...He kept bothering me, so I ran away.>

Ilya: <...He did?>

-leers at Argentum herself as his legs are suddenly pinned to the ground by icicles, further reinforced by them freezing over-

<You be nice too!>

Sickle: < I like how she's not even an adult Legendary and she's already calling the shots. >

Ereth: < Shush, especially since she's doing a proper job of it, at least. ...For now.>

Ilya: -leers at the Scythergirl again- <But why'd you try to eat Ereth?>

Scythergirl: <I didn't want to. At first. He was just trying to hurt me. But I saw the blood and got hungry. It's hard to stop.>

-Ilya looks at her for a bit, thinking, before nodding somberly-

Ilya: <I get what you mean...>

-frowns and wags a dissaproving claw at the Scythergirl-

<...But you can't eat Ereth! He and Sickle are my friends!>

Scythergirl: <...You Keep Using That Word.>

Ilya: -blinks- <Huh?>

Scythergirl: <"Freinds". What does it mean?>

Ilya: <Um...>

-thinks, then gestures to the surrounding peoplemons-

<...Maybe these guys can help me explain?>

Pygmy is a Bulbasaur.

Sylph: (is watching Toolbox not wanting to barge into the conversation.)

Lumiose City

Avenger: I can't believe you dragged me into this.

-As the Avenger, Lillianna is rushing through the streets of Lumiose with some sort of communication device in her hand. A feminine voice echoes from the device.-

Voice: I'd love to say I've got this under control, but Chacripan Bleu's tied up at the moment elsewhere! For all I know, that's not even a figure of speech considering he's not answering my calls!

Avenger: I know, I know, I'm already here looking for him, Coxyclaque.

Voice Coxyclaque: Good! I don't want Tikki to have to Metronome our way out of these situations any more than she has to, you know how much it takes out of her!

Avenger: I would have suggested a Pokemon that can naturally learn Metronome instead of a Ledian as your partner, but whatever.

Coxyclaque: Sorry, couldn't hear you, what was that?

Avenger: Nothing! Just muttering to myself! Just... keep things as under control as you can, okay?

Coxyclaque: Already doing that!

-The Avenger sighs and closes her communicator-

Yuzuki: Kickmagnet?

Toolbox: <Hmmm, if your sure, although my human smells funny too if it is soemthing like that...>

I hope I remember where things were right, sorry I had DND last night and forgot >.<

Jubilife

Sergey and team are here and may be noticed

nice, what class and stuff?

Near Merry, past

-Rachel steadily approaches Pygmy-

Rachel: It's OK! I don't bite! Well, I bit my twin brother when we were really little, but that was a sign of affection!

Pygmy: (let's out a nervous laugh).

Nymph: <Come on Pygmy get out of your shell a little bit.>

PEFE

Argentum: -Has his legs frozen- <Clarification: I was just playing.>

<Apologies.>

Jacob: "Um. Well... friends..."

Sylva: -Gasps- <We should explain... through song!!>

Jacob: ".... Oh please no."

Regina: <Sadly I have to agree, I'm not in a singsong mood.>

Sylva: -She frowns- <Awwww, alright...>

Jacob: "Friends are... do Scythermen typically hunt in packs? Never mind. A friend is another living being attached to each other by feelings of affection or personal regard, or a person who is on good terms with another."

Sylva: <Jakey how do you make friendship sound boring. Why does Hikari love you?>

Woe: <... Ow. Savage blow from the Phione.>

Jacob: "..." I.... my poor heart.

Near Merry, past

-Rachel extends a hand carefully-

PEFE HQ

Scythergirl: -looks at Jacob intently as he explains-

<...So like Dave?>

-Ilya headtilts-

Ilya: <You understood him?>

Scythergirl: <Yeah. What Jakey said made sense.>

Sickle: -stares, points a claw at the Scythergirl, then does the same to Jacob-

<...Did you just give us a lead?>

Ereth: -to Sylva- <I wouldn't get cocky just yet, little miss diabetes.>

Jacob: -Still reeling from the emotional blow- "Uhm. I think?"

-Looks at the Scythergirl- "Also, please, call me Jacob. Sylva, please call me Jacob."

Sylva: <But Jakey is cuter!>

Jacob: "WHY DO YOU THINK I WANT YOU TO STOP??"

-He clears is throat, straightens his jacket, and sighs, looking at the Scythergirl- "Yeah, I guess then. Who is Dave?"

Sylva: -Tilts her head at Ereth- <What's diabetes? Is that a delicious sugary snack?>

Jubilife, past

Sholto: "Yep!"

Kick Magnet: <Uh, yeah... something like that.>

-He decides to smell and notices that Toolbox's assessment is accurate in a way he wasn't expecting-

...Wow, she does smell funny.

-Neither of them have noticed Sylph yet-

Pygmy: (steps toward Rachel)

Near Merry

Rachel: -pets-

PEFE HQ

Scythergirl: <Jacob. Tell Argentum to put me down and I'll tell you.>

Ilya: <OK, but you can't try to eat anyone else!>

Sickle: -wags a claw- <And we'll make sure you don't get out of line otherwise.>

Scythergirl: <I'm not hungry anymore. I just want off this wall.>

Ilya: <...Good enough.>

-unfreezes Argentum-

Ereth: -backs away towards Sylva a bit before talking to her-

<Nope. Diabetes is this icky sickness you get if you eat too many of those. Or talk like they're spewing out of your mouth.>

-pats Sylva-

<Either way don't do it kid, it ain't healthy.>

Jacob: "Argentum." -He snaps-

Argentum: -He drops the Scythergirl and backs up-

Sylva: -Nods absently at Ereth- <... Okayyyy.>

PEFE HQ

-The Scythergirl is put down, gets to her feet, then scans the others warily before speaking-

Scythergirl: <Dave was a scientist. He was one of the ones working with the Scythermen as they grew up...>

-pauses-

<...I liked him. He made sense, was good company, and gave me hot dogs.>

Ilya: <He sounds great! Hot dogs are a bit like sausages!>

Scythergirl: <I'll have a sausage later.>

-frowns-

<But then all the scientists left... Dave went with them... They said things about these people named Tagg, Tangent, Tracer, and Silent... And something called Pokefutures... All the Scythermen went underground after that... I don't know where he is...>

Ilya: <We should probably find Dave then.>

Sickle: <Proooobably a good idea...>

-puts a claw to her chin-

<Though, kid's story is giving me some creepy deja vu...>

Ereth: -Does a similar gesture- <Can't say you're wrong there, pincers...>

-realizes something as he snaps his claws-

<...Waitaminute! My Trainer works for this place! Said it used to belong to some seedy megacorp called Pokefutures until some friends of his took them down and took over the joint! Dave must've worked for 'em!>

Yuzuki: How did she get that name?

-Toolbox for her part tilts her head inqusitivly-

PEFE HQ

Jacob: "... I don't remember getting this story, but yeah, if you know someone who knows the answer, let's just go see them."

Regina: <Agreed. Let's just keep this short and simple.>

PEFE HQ

Ereth: <Alright then. Jacob, I assume you have Umbra's number on one of your human smartphone doohickeys?>

Jubilife, past

Sholto: "Oh, uh, he said he wanted to be a Jolteon and the name kinda... came from there."

Kick Magnet: <Um...>

-He gives an unsure glance to Sholto-

-Sholto gives a shrug in return-

-He sighs and turns his attention back to Toolbox-

Kick Magnet: <...Would you say you're good at keeping secrets?>

PEFE HQ

Jacob: "Indeed I do. Give me a sec..."

"..."

"Wait. I destroyed my phone because a Tetris obsessed mad scientist kept call me."

Regina: -Sighs and pulls out a new shiny Holo-caster- <I bought you a new one.>

Jacob: "Thank you dear~ Okay, HOLO-CASTER, CALL UMBRA!"

-It does nothing-

"... Does this one not take voice commands?"

Sylva: <It's not turned on.>

Jacob: ".... Oh."

-He turns the thing on and calls the Umbra-

Acuity Lakefront

-Walking up to the lakeshore-

Still no new news of Glitches yet...

Vanilluxe: -Is happily making an ice sculpture in the background-

Lilycove

-Umbra is talking to Robin-

Robin: So, after Annoskii unsealed the power of the Infinity Keystone, it created an effect over all of Sinnoh again?

Umbra: Yep. So we had to-

-his phone rings and he answers it-

...Hello?

PEFE HQ

Jacob: "Umbra! Hi! It's Jacob. I'm here with some mons and Scytherman, girl, person, in PEFE and I have a question. Do you know a Pokefutures person named Dave?"

Lilycove

Umbra: Hey Jacob!

-blinks-

...Scythergirl? Dave? I'm not sure what's going on here, though the guy being a Pokefutures employee raises alarm bells...

PEFE HQ

Jacob: "Well okay. Do you know where all the Pokefuture people went after we took here? Just... out of curiosity?"
