PEFE Underground

-Mia watches Rosary's scribblings intently-

Route 204

Sergey - still followed by the Bedrills and Combees rushes down the route

Sergey: "NONONONONONONONO!"

-Rosary finishes her etching, admires it a second, then turns back to Mia-

Rosary: <Like that!>

<Usually I'd make it the same color as you, but I don't have paints with me. And nobody here has green blood.>

Route 204

Sergey (still followed): "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP"

Random Pokémon: <Sure sucks to be him right now. He is pretty fast though.>

Jane:<Whatcha upta boss~?>

Cass:<Messengin.>

PEFE Underground

Mia: <Nice. Too bad about the blood though.>

-and she heads downward-

-As people descend deeper two particular pairs of characters have a talk...-

Robin and Dave

-Robin approaches Dave-

...Excuse me, sir?

Dave: Yeah kid?

Robin: ...

...In your house, there was a picture of you with a wife and a daughter and a pet Vulpix...

Dave: -scoffs- Oh, so you went ahead snooping in my personal affairs to-

Robin: -scowls- I saw it on the counter and decided to bring it up later.

-his look grows more concerned-

...Because... I'm worried. What happened to them?

Dave: ...

-looks away, speaks noticeably more softly-

...Pokefutures barely paid me what they should have, but I still had enough to make a decent living and help sustain my wife Jane and my daughter Jean... We were actually, believe it or not, pretty happy... Jean could be pretty bratty yeah, but deep down a good kid... Loved this superhero show about this Vulpix-themed Sarah Hooter lady, so I got her a Vulpix she named Wilde for when she'd go off on a Pokemon journey...

-scowls-

But then the whole Scythermen shebang started... Jane got angrier and angrier about why I had to spend more and time at work and couldn't explain jack shit why... Wasn't long before divorce happened, she took custody of Jean, was just gonna dump Wilde off with me...

...I made sure Jean got his Pokeball before I never saw her again.

-Robin, at this point, is looking at Dave outright despondently-

Robin: Dave, I...

-he looks away awkwardly himself, holding back tears-

...Let's just say... I know what it's like. Losing everyone you care about for reasons beyond your control...

-he turns back to Dave-

But... You can't shut yourself off. If you need help, try and find a new path in life, meet new friends, forge new ties...

-he glances over to Mia-

...And, if you can... Try to find something in what you have left.

-he falls silent and walks rapidly ahead-

-Dave looks after him a bit before following-

Sickle and Mia

-The Scythergirl and Scizor are walking side-by-side-

Sickle: <...So he did remember.>

Mia: <Yeah, he said so.>

Sickle: <Hm.>

Mia: <What's wrong.>

Sickle: <There's... Something about how he was all pissy about seeing you at first and then when he realized who you are he started acting... Odd...>

Mia: <I don't know what Dave thinks. What are you thinking?>

Sickle: ...

<...I dunno kid.>

Mia: <OK.>

-They keep walking, Sickle gazing off in thought as Mia looks at her out of the corner of her eye-

-Eventually however-

Deeper down

-Everyone's reached a deep part of the Underground when Umbra freezes-

Umbra: ...You hear that? Chittering,

-to a certain member of the party-

Ilya? Mon up. Now.

-Ilya nods and glows and grows and stretches back to White Kyurem form-

-Dave starts and staggers back a bit at the transformation-

Dave: ...OK, we had a fucking Legendary in our party the whole time. Are you people trying to break my brain?

PEFE HQ

PEFE!Every: Don't feel bad, Davidov. I didn't know either.

Excuse me, Miss Legendary? Would you object to me taking a few blood samples?

PEFE Underground

Rosary: < I can help with that...>

-the chittering appears to be coming from a large cavern; the space is too dark to see, however-

PEFE Underground

Jacob: -Cautiously, looks over at Dave- "You get used to it."

-He creeeeeps forward on his tiptoes-

-Argentum close behind-

PEFE Underground

-it is still quite dark; some of the chittering can now be made out, though-

???: <ok, ok, I just got the sourbox connected>

-a distorted sound resembling an electric guitar fills the cavern for a moment-

???: <yes, yes, how about i play the ballad of Eeshi?>

??: <but you're Eeshi!>

???: <so I know how it goes better than anyone!>

????: <hush! Sentries don't play music! And I think I heard somebody! Tillo, you have the night vision, go check the entrance!>

??: <fine, but you better be ready to kill somebody if I die.>

Dave: ...They've gotten organized. We're fucked.

Mia: <Oh, it's those guys.>

Dave: ...Huh?

Floaroma Center, yesterday

Flori Floaroma City

Those curently present could see - and hear - a particular boy running from a angry swarm of Beedrills and Combees, having a certain Mawile under his right arm and a certain shiny Gallade under the left arm.

Sergey: "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEE!"
