Mt. Coronet

-Satele throws a copy of War and Peace at the Abra.-

Satele: <NO! I am not in the mood for Abra antics! I have to deal with that enough with my own family!>

Selene: <Oh! Hello there, Abra! What are you doing here? Satele, stop throwing books at possible friends.>

-Satele gets a weird look on her face, grabs her head, and starts shaking.-

Satele: <The world's going crazy. The world's going crazy and I'm going crazy with it.>

Mt. Coronet

-The Abra topples over unceremoniously after being hit by the book, but floats back up on its rock nonchalantly.-

Abra: <I am sitting on a rock. That is what I'm doing up here. And finding people who are finding things.>

Mt. Coronet

Selene: <Oh! That's neat!>^Satele: <No it's not.>

-Selene taps her nose.-

Selene: <But why are you here? I don't think I've seen any Abra in Sinnoh before.> ^Satele: <No it- actually, that's a good question.>

Snowpoint City, inside Pianis' house

Cinnamon: <I'm bored.>

-Cinnamon is sitting on top of Pianis' head while he's sitting at his computer-

Pianis: Well, maybe you should try getting off my head then.

Cinnamon: <When are you gonna get off the computer?>

Pianis: When I'm done. Sorry, but these pylons aren't gonna build themselves.

Cinnamon: <Yeah they are. That's how you warp them in, duh.>

Pianis: ...

-while he's pondering this, the other Cinnamon pops out of Pianis' hair-

Cinnamon: <Oh hi!>

Cinnamon: <Hi, other Cinnamon!>

Pianis: Hey! Jenna, what is your monkey doing on my head?

Jenna: -from Lily's shoulder- <He wanted to talk to your ice cube again.>

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

-Ark was completely in the zone now, behind her scarf a grin stretched across her face that was somewhere between gleeful and vicious.-

Ark: Ark Lostlorn.

-That was all she said before pulling more branches back to send more snow catapults at Phaz.-

-At this point, Barclay had finally gotten out of the snow. He walked over to Ashley.-

Barclay: <Finally, someone who is not participating in this childish tomfoolery. What's your name lass? My name is Barclay, at your service.>

CU - City

-Pent takes a glance at the sign and shakes his head-

No, too risky. It's "Short Cut", two words and our gracious 'host' here likes their 'irony' it seems. We'll probably find a guillotine in there. Or a giant pair of scissors. Scissors probably works better for them...

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Mt. Coronet

Abra: <I simply found myself finding myself here— >

???: Imperio, stop being weird.

-A certain Lucario-themed caped crusader runs over to the Abra.-

Imperio: <Hey, you can't knock me for being bored.>

Avenger: Still, I've heard enough from—

-Beat-

-The Avenger looks at the two Pokemon Imperio had been talking to, specifically at Selene.-

-He freezes.-

CU, City

Dune: Well, we could try going up the buildings, barring the unfortunate chance that the city has Pidgey wiring set up on the roofs.

Mt. Coronet

-Selene, oblivious to the immediate discomfort, waves.-

Selene: <Hi!>

-Satele, on the other hand, suddenly becomes much more sober.-

Satele: <... Hello there.>

CU City

Joseph: D-does it...?

Another green world.

Mt. Coronet

-The Avenger coughs awkwardly-

Avenger: I, er, hope you two weren't too bothered by my partner's Abra.

Imperio: <I still don't see why she's not here.>

Mt. Coronet

Selene: <Oh, it was no trouble at all. We're just trying to find our way back down the mountain.>

Satele: <Preferably the west side, towards Jubilife.>

Selene: <Right!>

Satele: <And I'm used to dealing with Abra. My "cousin" is an Alakazam.>

-Beat-

Satele: <Don't ask. My family's weird.>

CU - City

Jacob: "Lemme channel my inner Spinarakman and..." -He, regardless of technical possibility or impossibility, scampers up the side of the alley and tests Dune's theory-

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

Mt. Coronet

Imperio: <I'd love to say it's not a common thing among my species, but... honestly, it's generally a Psychic-type thing. If it's gonna be a thing, I might as well use it to relieve boredom.>

Avenger: I, ahem, I could lead you in the right direction if need be. I imagine D— er, um... your trainer might be worried about you, if you've been lost for a while.

Mt. Coronet

Satele: <Protip - get a book to read. A big one. Then write a thesis on it and laugh as people debate about it online.>

Selene: <Oh, really? Neat! That'd save us a lot of time!>

CU Plains

".. Maybe we should wait a couple minutes just to make sure? I don't want to get stabbed in the back or something if we try to leave and it's still alive.."

off the shits

Mt. Coronet

Imperio: <...That does sound amusing.>

Avenger: Very well, it should be—

Imperio: <You know, teleporting there's gonna be way faster, sooooooooo let's just do that.>

Avenger: Imperio, wait—

Imperio used Teleport!

Mt. Coronet

Selene: <Wee!>

Satele: <What?>

-Blip!-

Zoe's House

-The four end up right in the middle of Zoe's room, while she's working on some sort of paper. She looks up and notices the Avenger-

Zoe: O-oh, hey, Lilli!

-The Avenger tenses up briefly, then exhales loudly through her mask before taking it off.-

Lillianna: Hello, Zoe.

-Zoe blinks, then notices the two unfamiliar Pokemon-

Zoe: ...Um, who are you two?

Zoe's House

-Selene blinks.-

Selene: <Hi! I'm Selene! And this is Satele!>

-Satele looks at Lillianna's face, then all around her.-

Satele: <Okay, what the heck?>

Snowpoint City, inside Pianis' house

Cinnamon: <Why are you killing all the red guys?>

Pianis: Because they're the enemy.

Cinnamon: <But why? Red is nice!>

Cinnamon: <Yeah, that's not fair!>

Pianis: They're the servants of a dark god who wants to eradicate all life in the universe and recreate it in his own image.

Cinnamon: <Oh.>

Cinnamon: <Is he gonna make it red?>

Pianis: What?

Jenna: Why can no one around here do anything useful?

Lily: I don't know, Jen. Didn't you want to relax?

Jenna: I want to get back to normal!

Cinnamon: Aww, but being tiny is fun.

Cinnamon: <Yeah, now you can fit on his head with me!>

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

CU, Forest

-Ren raises his cane in a defensive position, as with an identical movement, Izanagi uses Cut to Parry the Leaf Blade.-

Ren: Great, a Leavanny shadow... Wish Mendel was here...

CU, Plains

Mendel: -to Daydre- Well as best as I can tell Lachesis' remains are waiting for something to come to them... So with that in mind I think we should leave before whatever it is it waiting for comes to it.

Mendel: I'm for heading into the Forest as it would be easier for any of the group to get lost in there, so it'll be more likely for those rings to have dumped the rest of us there.

Zoe's House

Zoe: Oh, okay...

-She notices Lillianna frantically mouthing the words "J-Team"-

Zoe: Oooooh, you're from the J-Team?

-Lillianna facepalms-

Zoe's House

Selene: <Yep! I'm with Dune! Not terribly sure where he is right now. I used to, and I was trying to teleport to him, but it didn't quite go as planned.>

Satele: <She overshot by almost ten kilometers but more importantly I've got so many questions that my mind is like a carnival right now.>

Selene: <My mind is always like a carnival! It's so much fun!>

-Satele makes "I want to throttle you so badly" hands at her companion.-

Zoe's House

-Lillianna sighs-

Lillianna: Well, one secret's already gone down the drain so ask away.

Zoe: ...Oops. Uh, s-sorry.

Zoe's House

Selene: <Oh, don't worry, I already had an inkling just who you were~>

-Selene makes a little wiggly finger at Lillianna.-

Satele: <Wait... how?!>

-Selene points to her large ears. Satele slaps forehead. Selene turns to Lillianna.-

Selene: <You should really think about a voice alterer, or at least a vocal coach. You have Sarah's exact vowel annunciations.>
