Route 218

-Blitz nodded slowly as he listened to the girl's story, and tried not to smirk at the herdier's version of events-

Blitz: "M-hmm... Well that's fair"

-He started look for something in the brown leather satchel slung over his shoulder, eventually pulling out a paper map-

"Let's see..."

Down: <Right now we're between Canaclave and Jubilife City, in Sinnoh>

Blitz: "Looks like that ship brought you quite a way from your home."

-He crouched and spread the map of Sinnoh on the ground as he attempted to show Ark and her mon where on the map they currently were-

"So, were there lots of Zorua back in Unova?"

????: <Agreement?>

-a voice from the shadows pipes up-

??: <What agreement?>

???: <My current issue is that my guitar's sourbox keeps dying.>

??: <It's called a battery.>

???: <Well I'm not using it to hit anyone! I like my name better anyways, have you ever put your tongue to the tips and->

??: <Yes, after you told me it was fun. It wasn't.>

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

-Ark and co. stared at the map-

-then stared some more-

-and more-

-and then chaos explodes as they all tired to talk at once in a illegible burst of noise as all the voices mingled together-

-Once everyone calmed down five minutes later, Kiaran spoke.-

Kiaran: <I guess there was a decent population, especially from where me and A -a look from Ark- ... my little sister and I are from.>

-Ark asked her next question-

Ark: "What are you? Your... companion said you were not quite human?"

PEFE Underground

Robin: They don't seem particularly hostile...

Sickle: More like the nerds of the group.

Mia: <Stop arguing and talk to us.>

Blitz: "Uh..."

-Blitz stared at the surprising burst of chaotic debate from the Unovians, but it soon passed-

"Right... That's a bit hard to explain.."

-He rubbed the back of his neck while debating how to best explain his condition-

"You see... Ah..."

Down <In short, he's also a pokemon. And sometimes a Mew>

-He facepalmed, almost afraid to see what the odd group's reaction might be-

Blitz: "That was ONE time!"

Down: <For six months>

CU

-The Beasts fall to low health from the Heat Wave-

Lisa: <...Well, you're certainly taking this seriously now, Mr. 'Let's-Avoid-The-Enemies'>

-Titan attacks the Right Beast with another Wake-Up Slap, causing her to disappear in a puff of smoke-

-Now that the Left Beast has no partner and due to the Reflect, she lets out a Discharge-

Flori, gestern

Hajime: "I'd... have to agree with the others."

Rumba: <I mean... didn't you say you'd rather take responsibility if things go too far, Aicha?>

Maggie's Location

-dead silence-

Kiaran: <Oh my Ghost King, that is the stupidest lie I'v ever heard>

-a few murmurs of agreement between Ralli and Barclay and shout of 'Deceiver!' from Verigan-

-Ark gives you a flat look.-

Ark: <If you expect me to believe that, then you better have proof to back it up.>

R Cing Ren for a brief moment here with permission from Keys.

CU

Jacob: "Hey, I won't fight if I can avoid it easily, but don't expect me to hold back if it comes to blows."

-The Discharge is harmlessly absorbed by Take-Mikazuchi's club-

Verax: "AHAH!"

-Ren winces slightly from the earlier Ice Fang, though not too much bothered-

Ren: "Well... I can't say that didn't sting..."

Verax: "Okay let's put this little thing to bed! Take-Mikazuchi!" -He points at the shadow, and the Cubone kicks at it-

Ren: "Izanagi!" -The Aron Pokesona rears back and slashes with its glaive, using Cut-

PEFE Underground

Jacob: "... I mean with you guys here in the underground and not venturing to the more human operated parts of the island? Is that a thing that still needs to be hashed out or are you all cool with just sticking around here? No deal breaking or anything?"

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Flori - Gestern

Sergey: "Haha, well, at least she keeps me fit I guess."

Aicha: <Yep, that I said... doesn't mean that I can't enjoy being with someone who doesn't mind my pranks - and in fact might even enjoys them a little. I don't want to be protected if I go too far yes... but when I don't need to be protected anyway that's all the better, isn't it?>

Magnus: <See? The devil.>

Mireille: <Right... not that you enjoy being around her.>

Magnus (totally unconvincing): <I am not.>

Mireille (slightly giggling): <Totally convincing there, though-boy.>

-Nico is browsing Pinwheel-

Nico: Hrm... Hard time finding a good frame size for this poster I ordered from [THE UK] when their frame sizes are different and in centimeters...

-sighs-

Metric. The thing I get about as much as Maggie gets Daylight Savings Time.

Lancelot: -playing a video game nearby- <You could just get the X-Nauts to->

Nico: GAMEFILCH WAS A SPECIAL CASE OK

Lancelot: <...I was gonna say make you a frame.>

Nico: ...Oh. ._.;

Route 218

Blitz: "See, this is why I don't like to talk about the Mew thing with newbies!"

-He sighs, and reaches for a pokeball-

Down: <Would you rather look suspicious by hiding it?>

Blitz: "I'd rather you let me decide when share secrets"

-He lets a Clefairy out of it's pokeball and turns to Ark's group-

"Pretty hard to believe, but yeah, it's true. If you want proof then just need Mondo to bring some moonlight in here"

Mondo: <Moonlight? Fiiine. But you make this a lot more boring than it used to be>

-He stands close to Blitz, and turns to the group-

<'Kay, watch close, I don't feel like doing this all night without some snacks>

Blitz: "Well at least it's shady out here"

-Mondo waves his stubby arms around as he concentrates light from the surroundings to form a small moon above the two. Once the light from the normally healing move reaches Blitz, his shadow seems to retreat from the light before a shadowy cloud of Obscuric energy envelops him for a moment, then fades, revealing a Greninja standing in his place-

BlitzShinobi: <See?>

-Ark only stares for a few seconds before rushing up and examining Shinobi-

Ark: <How did you do that?! What was that black stuff?!>

-There is something akin to excitement and interest in her voice.-

-Kiaran leaps off Ark's shoulder and goes over to his teammates-

Kiaran: <Here we go again.... I recognize that tone of voice. We are going to be here a while...>

-Kiaran suddenly drops his voice to a whisper-

Kiaran: <I think we should let Ark handle it from here... I don't think we can really do anything at this point besides watch and make sure he doesn't pull anything.>

Route 218

-The moonlight fades as Mondo hops out of the way when Ark closed in to investigate-

-Down chuckled as the were-greninja awkwardly tries to hold still as he watches the girl look him over. Other than the transition and the thin scar along his right side, he looked and felt just as real as any other pokemon-

Shinobi: <How? Ah- It was a curse, so magic, really... And that black stuff, um. Obscura, Like Dark and Ghost stuff>

Flori, gestern

Rumba: <Yeah, that's true.>

CU

-The Left Beast is struck and collapses on the ground, vanishing into smoke-

Lisa: <Well, that was easy enough.>

SleepyHead: <...Yeah...>

-Ark pauses in her inspection at the mention of Obscura-

-Almost like a switch had been flipped, the girl started rapid firing questions. It appears you have found a weak spot.-

Ark: <Obscura? What is that? How does it work? How did you get it?>

Flori - Gestern

Aicha: <*Giggle* Right? Don't worry, I won't push him too far, he can endure it, trust me. *Giggle*>

Cue a Face Palm courtesy of Magnus

Magnus: <I just can't belive that girl.>

Sergey: "Honestly, I wouldn't want any changes, I'm used to it by now, plus I know she can't help herself."

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Route 218

Shinobi: <It's... Actually, I have no idea. I ticked off this weird squiddy lady Who's nowhere near as cool or cute as some in recent video games and she seemed to think doing this to me was a good punishment, or something>

-He rubbed the back of a head fin awkwardly-

<The initial process was, well, a pain. But I got used to this after a while>

CU, ???

-Izanagi stands at attention as Ren looks around.-

Ren: I'll agree that was easy. Although from our experience in the toy store, whoever's shadow self that controls this place most likely knows how easy that was on us and is already likely planning a way to counterattack. With that said, unless I'm totally off base here, I think just waiting here in the open is not a good idea.

CU

-Joseph blinks, Jiraiya still near him-

Joseph: Um...?

-Well 'that' wasn't very useful. Suppressing a sigh Ark then gave a quizzical look at the Greninja-

Ark: <...Obviously you are not just a human. So why is someone like you wandering around here?>

-Ark swept her hands (though them being covered by the sleeves kinda ruined the effect) out to gesture to the world around her-

Route 218

Shinobi: <Heh, obviously not>

-He smirks around his tongue scarf-

<Right now I'm mostly exploring Sinnoh with some friends, getting to see the world, training sometimes, stuff like that>

Canalave City Library

-Scheherezade is recovered from earlier teleporting shenanigans.-

Scheherezade: -sets a pile of books on the table.- Maybe these will have what I'm looking for.

Dunyazade: -reading a sci-fi novel- Hm?

Scheherezade: -sighs- You're not listening, are you?

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

-Ark seemed to pause and contemplate the answer she was given for a while before stating-

Ark: <...That actually does not sound too bad... not much human contact besides your pac... companions.>

-Ark stopped herself from saying pack. In her observations, humans don't really appear to function like that.-

Ark: <Still... -she tilts her head to the left slightly- where are these.... friends of yours then?>

Route 218

Shinobi: <It's worked pretty well for the past couple of years>

-He nodded, mostly to himself-

<Well, other than my team->

-Mondo waves slightly and Down raises a wing from her recent perch on a tree as Shinobi points toward Jubilife City-

<Most of my friends are staying in hotels or pokecenters in Jubilife, Floraoma, or Oreburg right now>
