Eterna Gym

-Pitch is bitten by the Grotle, taking a bit of damage-

Pitch: <Ngh... Bigger mark than you might have planned.>

Pitch Flinched!

Maggie: "Hm..."

Eterna City

Grotle: <No mark is too large to express my magnificence!>

-she uses Bite again-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Eterna Gym

-Pitch is once again bitten, but this time doesn't flinch-

Pitch: <Mm... I'd tend to disagree.>

-She shoots another Sludge Bomb at the Grotle-

Eterna City

Grotle: <Then I shall pass forwards.into history, unremembered and unhailed.>

-she faints-

Gardenia: -sweatdrops- Okay, one more...

-she sends out a Roserade-

Gardenia: Weather Ball!

Roserade: <Feel my technique! Sphere Overdrive!>

-she points her flowers, and a sphere of grey light flies towards Pitch-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Eterna Gym

Pitch: <Mm... Great... More JoJo jokes...>

-She is struck by the Weather Ball and faints-

Maggie: ''...They're not that bad, are they?"

-She recalls Pitch-

"Alright, then..."

"Your turn, Damburst!"

-The Gyarados is sent out-

Damburst: <Time to show you what I can do!>

Maggie: "Use Ice Fang!"

-Damburst roars and his fangs glisten with ice as he rushes forth at the Roserade-

Eterna Gym

Roserade: <You fool! You've fallen into my trap!>

-she holds out her arm, getting it chomped by Damburst-

Roserade: <I knew you were going to bite my arm like you did! And that's what I wanted to happen all along! And as for why...

...>

-she turns a slightly deeper shade of green-

Roserade: <Anyways on with the battle yep.>

Gardenia: Energy Ball!

Roserade: <Uh, yeah. Just forget I said anything, okay?>

-she uses her free arm to fire a sphere of green at Damburst's face-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Eterna Gym

-Damburst is struck in the face by the Energy Ball and recoils, letting go of the Roserade's arm in the process-

Damburst: <You want your arm bitten? Fine, then I'll bite harder!>

-He then tries to Crunch the Roserade's arm-

Eterna Gym

Roserade: <Uh, yeah, I'm...I'm just gonna go. It's been fun though. Nice battle.>

-she faceflowers and sprints away-

Gardenia: ...Well. Um. Congratulations, challenger? You've earned this badge!

-she gives Maggie a Forest Badge-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Eterna Gym

Damburst: <Hm.>

Maggie: "Uh, thanks."

-She takes the Badge and starts heading out-

Damburst: <I think she should have at least had the decency to see the strength of my harder bite.>

Maggie: "Let's just not talk about this any more, please."

Last night

Cathedral, past

-To Vierr-

Shame I can't just bind him to a random stone or something.

Eterna, today

-To Blitz-

Yeah.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Cathedral Roof — Past

Vierr: That would make things a hell of a lot easier, that's for sure.

-He sighs and tries to clear his mind again-

Eterna - Today

-Blitz just nods and walks toward the hospital before a little before speaking up again-

Blitz: "Have you ever seen a wound like that before?"

Hearthome City

Esprit is also doing some Auric sensing(albeit a while later), mostly to figure out where the hell Elise disappeared to with Claire. In the process, he notices Vierr in the area.

"So it seems that boy is here again...Interesting. I wonder if he will prove to be as much of a pain as I think he will be...nah, there's no way he's gonna be that disuptive."

Esprit furrows his brow as he senses something else in the city...something unfamiliar, yet also familiar to him.

"Now this is odd...I am sensing something new, something not unlike myself...and yet, it is not the same."

He looks around the city from his perch in one of Amity Square's trees, but sees nothing that would catch his eye. He does notice a girl landing an Altaria in the city, who jumps up to catch what looks like mail as it nearly flies away, but pays no mind to it.

After all, what use is there in caring about a mail courier?

Route 211/Mt. Corontet

While walking Sergey looked a bit after the Ponyta

Sergey: "So, Tex, since when do you travel?"

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

Route 211/Mt. Coronet

Tex: "I really only travel if the job demands it, which, thankfully, is quite often."

THE FITNESSGRAM PACER TEST IS A MULTISTAGE AEROBIC CAPACITY TEST THAT PROGRESSIVELY GETS MORE DIFFICULT AS IT CONTINUES

CU-Forest, Far Past

-Ren has Izanagi repeat using Metal Sound while Mendel has Pythagoras use Toxic again.-

CU-Pagoda 4F

Ren: Well trying doors at random is a bad idea. -Ren nods his appreciation at Galvani- So let's try some lateral thinking. What we know for a fact is that the Shadows tell us how to proceed.In the first room it directly pointed the way. In the second and third rooms it was between arrows. And in the last room we followed them to where they retreated to. So using ALL that as a basis...

-Ren walks to the north by northwest wall and taps on it.-

Lets examine the walls rather than the doors.

Mendel: -shrugging- Well that at least it makes some sense...

-Mendel touches the west by southwest wall.-

Route 211/Mt. Corontet

Sergey: "That's nice. Feels good to be on the road, doesn't it?"

Mireille: ~Erm, one question though... this time you do have enough money to pay for the hotel right?~

Sergey: "Ehehe... after a bit of work... yes."

He paused

Sergey: "So, anything you wanna' talk about? I kinda can't think of anything right now."

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

Pagoda F4

Dune: I'd prefer the lateral thinking that involves finding the load bearing pillar and "laterally" making the first floor the top floor.

Galvani: <But we're already on the fourth floor.>

Dune: I know, but still.

Eterna Pokemon Center - Yesterday

Jacob: -Is sitting out in the lobby with his laptop, running a simulation with Gardenia- "Hmmm... Might wanna take my newer members so I can get them a bit trained up..."

-He is easily perchable-

Pagoda F4

-As soon as Mendel starts touching the wall, he falls through it and vanishes-

Verax: "Mendel? Buddy?" -He waits a moment, then dives in after him-

-Those two, and any who follow them, fall out of a path leading to a small square room with a single red lever on the back wall-

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

CU, Pagoda, 4F

SleepyHead: <...Well, looks like that's the way to go then.>

-She heads in, Lisa following-

Eterna Center, yesterday

-Lisa notices Jacob working on his computer as she flies by-

Lisa: <You too? What use are those things, anyway?>

-Ren follows the others through the wall.-

Ren: Nice guess, Mendel.

Mendel: -Picking himself off the floor.- Thank you, Mr Clavis...

Ren: -seeing the lever- Someone want to make the obvious reference? Or do we want to risk a Feraligatr pit?

CU - Forest

-Shadow!Joe is illuminated by the Dazzling Gleam, and hit by the Aerial Ace and Toxic, but the non-AAA's miss-

Shadow!Joe: ~Grrrrr...~

-the pollen still in effect, he shuts his eyes; thorny brambles animate and swing at the group-

Hearthome City — Today

-Vierr is indeed in the area — as are Kieran, Diane, Skye, and Alyssa.-

CU - Pagoda

Verax: "... I think it's safe, since the Shadow said this was the last thing."

"... I ain't touchin that though."

CU - Forest

-Jacob is smacked back by the thorny whip- "Gah! ... Nrgghhhhh... this is tough and I can't see anything..."

Verax: "Okay, we need to do something... Wait! Jakes try again with the fire!"

-Verax has Take-Mikazuchi hurl his bone through the pollen, attempting to clear a small section of it from the air-

-Jacob meanwhile has Pyro Jack unleash a large gale of heated air in an attempt to burn the Shadow-

Eterna Pokemon Center

Jacob: "Oh, hey."

-He closes the laptop-

"Well, for one thing it's essentially a massive storage unit, and its instant access to hours upon hours of entertainment and near limitless source of information. Why wouldn't I want to use it?"
