Eterna City

Blue: My father's notes were vital, really. He'd already discovered the majority of the principles behind it, I just managed to put them all together. As for the device, it's rather bulky. It's still where I built it - that is, the lab on the J-team's airship, the Storm Chaser.

Eterna City

-After exploring the forest, Etran passes through Eterna City, heading to route 206-

Eterna City

Lucia: Oh, you're with the J-Team?

...Have we ever spoken before now? Sometimes I lose track of who I've already met.

Marc: I've never seen this airship. Do you know where it is now?

I'm done here.

Eterna City

Red: Yeah, we're J-team. I don't think we've met - we've been away for like, the past two months? Or so? Yeah. We've been busy, separated from the team.

Blue: No clue. You'll probably have to ask, like, Tagg?

She turns to Red.

Blue: Tagg'd know where the ship is, right?

Red: Yeah, think so.

She turns back to Marc

Blue: Yeah. Ask Tagg.

Kalos Abandoned Theater, past

Sholto: <Lanie, why do you think we're trying to trick you? Did Æther do something like that before?>

Kalos, abandoned concert hall, past

Zeal: Mel, it's going to be okay! We're going to get you out of here!

Lanie?: Stop it... stop it, please!

Eterna City

Lucia: Gotcha.

Marc: Have you ever met Tagg?

Lucia: Not face-to-face.

He's leaderly, I don't know how he can handle all that pressure. It makes him more than a little intimidating, to me.

Well that and... things I've heard he's done.

Marc: You're scared of him.

Lucia: Yeah, a little.

I'm done here.

Eterna City

Red: Yeah... after the J-team took down Cipher this last time... I heard some nasty rumors from some ex-Cipher people. He's a nice guy, though, far as I've seen. Anyways, it's getting late. We'll see you around, I guess!

Red slings an arm over Blue's shoulder and the two start walking back to the Pokemon Center for the night.

Eterna Hospital

-Senshi chuckles and petpats Pipit-

Senshi:<Maybe when you're older.>

-Nose boop-

Jason:~Heh...barely sleepin'...kinda hurts to think like this even now...hard ta believe...ya haven't left town yet...~

Kalos Abandoned Theater, past

Sholto: ...I don't know if this'll work or not, but...

<Okay, if that's what you want I can stop talking.>

-He starts looking around to see if there's a light switch or something-

Eterna Hospital - Today

Pipit: <Myeh>

-He squirms as he's booped-

Blitz: "Oh... Well, it's not like there's any big rush to move on to the next town."

-He chuckles a little-

"And clearly we can't leave Eve to be the only one keeping an eye on you"

Eterna Hospital

Jason:~Heh...damn straight...~

-He chuckles mentally-

~Then again...I should probably get more rest...gotta get outta here...sometime...~

Hearthome City

-Ever is wandering, his whole team out, Cornelia draped around his neck like a scarf, Breeze wrapped around his head, and the rest walking alongside-

Ever: -absently skritching Mix- You know, I feel like I haven't really taken time to be a trainer lately.

Mix: <What do you mean? :3>

Ever: Well, take that battle with the kid the other day. When was the last time we did that?

Brushfire: <Well, we challenged the Snowpoint Gym. And also the Snoapoynt Jim.>

Ever: Don't remind me. Sure, but only because of that weird Kingler. I feel like I've been too busy saving the world, which is weird because...like, I don't actually do that that much.

Breeze: <Muninn was a thing.>

Ever: Yeah. Maybe we should just take a break from the whole world-saving thing, and take some us time?

Salamence: <You know that now that you've said that, the odds of something absurd happening are, like, zero. Right?>

Ever: It's not like I'd really do it. I just think maybe we should use our time here to get some normality going. Who's with me?

Diesel: <Yeah!>

Breeze: <Yeah!>

Salamence: <Yeah!>

Mix: <Yeah! :3>

Brushfire: <Yeah!>

Cornelia: <Yeah!>

Horrific Glitch Beast Upon Which to Look is Death: <Yeah!>

Ever: ...This is baiting. I am being baited.

You sure are. Now stop whining, kill that thing, and get back to being a proper PC.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Eterna Hospital - Today

Blitz: "Right, nice to hear your 'voice', but don't stay up on my account. You probably need that Auric energy for recuperating or something anyway, however that works"

Hearthome City

Ever: Damn it, damn it, damn it.

Diesel: <That is...uh. Big.>

-Big is an accurate descriptor. Easily ten feet tall, the thing has two necks, each with an eye at the base of the throat. The first neck, long and scaly, ends in the gaping jaws of a Salamence, its crests replaced with a complicated, keylike loop and a pair of fluffy, folded ears. The second is shorter, and covered by a ruff of feathers. It bears a sharply curved beak, a bell and a sharp blade protruding from either side of the head.-

-the joining of the necks is lost amidst a collar of what appears to be cotton, over a rounded body with two rapidly-vibrating wings. It has four arms, two ending in sharp blades and two in sharper claws. It has therapod legs, one yellow and one green, both ending in talons. It has a long tail, dotted with leaves and sticks and ending in a drill-

-It's covered in yellow rings, and dozens of long blue tendrils and white, ice-coated arms emerge from various points on its body-

Ever: ...

-This begins to play-

Ever: ...Oh, hell.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Sarah's Apartment

-Sarah wanders into her apartment, lost in thought-

Sarah: Wonder what Scott's gonna pull... He might be planning on—

-She stops abruptly and stares at a quite unusual scene in front of her: a group of Toxicroak are raiding the fridge, and a girl in a blue hooded outfit and mask is laying on the couch in a pointedly non-upright manner.-

Prowess: Hey there!

-Prowess takes off her mask and waves, still not sitting upright.-

Sarah: Uh.

Prowess: You've got a nice place here, y'know. Waaaay better than that wreck of a mind you have!

Sarah: Um, you're the Toxicroak aspect, right? If you're from my mind, doesn't that mean you're also part of the wreck?

Poison Ivy: <...You kinda walked straight into that one.>

Makutacroak: <   What is going on?! Shouldn't you be cowering in fear?!   >

Aspect!Runt: <Yeah, what the hell?>

Sarah: Er, not really, I'm just sorta confused. Why aren't you in my head? Or am I in my head? No, that doesn't make sense, if we were in my head, you wouldn't say this place is better than my mind...

-Prowess sighs-

Prowess: Look, I got fused with that glitch that was in your mind a while back, and we're trying to terrorize you now.

Sarah: Ooooooh. Okay.

Aspect!Grunt: <I dunno about you, but she's looking pretty not terrorized right now.>

Sarah: You're inciting fear by, what, eating all my food? Not sure what's so scary about that.

Prowess: ...You've gotta be kidding. You're not scared at all? Don't tell me we have to be in your mind for you to feel fear.

Aspect!Brute: <Aaaaargh! One of us should have stayed behind, but no, everyone wanted in on the fun!>

Sarah: Yeah, you kinda screwed up there.

Prowess: Ugh... Look, can we just fight already? I came here to attack people and honestly I'm not having a good time.

Sarah: Sure, sure, whatever, but—

-Prowess immediately jumps upright and lunges at Sarah, but Sarah immediately catches her arm.-

Sarah: But it's happening outside.

Prowess: Oh for fuck's sake.

Hearthome City

Ever: Okay. So.

-...-

Glitchbeast: -lets out a horrific shriek from the beak head, notes pouring from its skin and forming patterns-

Ever: ...Yeah, I could have seen that coming. Breeze, Heal Bell!

Breeze: <On it!>

-Breeze chimes loudly, sending out a pulse of light that shatters the notes. The Glitchbeast lets out a wail of frustration-

Ever: Now.

-he points a finger at the Glitchbeast-

Ever: You heard the stage directions. Let's kill this thing.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Battle Frontier — Outside

Whoa! A horde of Toxicroak appeared!

Sarah: I can't believe we have to do this. Dihrao?

-She sends out the Nidoking against the Toxicroak horde-

Dihrao: <...Eeeeeep. So many pointy frogs!>

Sarah: Make there be no more pointy frogs, then.

Dihrao: <Um... bye!>

Dihrao used Earthquake! Runt, Grunt, Brute, Makutacroak, and Poison Ivy fainted!

Prowess: Aaaaagh! I'm the strategy aspect here!

Sarah: He made them faint all on his own, though...? Like, I just told him to do something. He chose the something himself.

Prowess: Grr...

Sarah: Are you maybe also the aspect of overthinking things?

Prowess: I'm also the aspect of poking things I don't like!

-She leaps at Sarah, slashing wildly at her. Sarah backpedals to avoid.-

Sarah: I never realized how much self-loathing I had.

Prowess: Well now you know it's a hell of a lot!

-She lands a hit, right in Sarah's waist. Sarah goes wide-eyed.-

Sarah: ...Ffffffffffffffffffffff—

Heartholme, A cafe across the street from the Contest Hall, 14:37

-Scheheherezade and Balthazar are sitting at a table. Shahryar is in his pokeball, ready to be called out. Metagross are large, y'know.-

-A figure in a long trench coat flanked by Isolde and another Absol walks in and sits down at the table across from Scheherezade.-

Scheherezade: "Uther Pendragon."

Pendragon: "Scheherezade Alizadeh."

Scheherezade: "You know where my pokemon are. Tell me."

Pendragon: "In due time. However, I believe I owe you an explanation."

-He idly twirls a mechanical pencil.-

Pendragon: "I am a member of the International Police. The man who stole your pokemon, I've been chasing him for the past ten years. Special assignment and all that. Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't pulled me yet, getting too involved and all that. But that's not the point."

-he adjusts his sunglasses, before deciding to take them off. One eye is a brilliant blue, the other almost gold.-

Pendragon: "This all, more or less, started twenty years ago, when I met a pokemon researcher named Cyrus Alizadeh. Yes, your father. That's a story for another time when innocent lives aren't on the line, though. And before you ask, yes, this relates to his disappearance. Again, later."

"The man we're chasing likes to call himself the Lord of Ash. As you might expect, he prefers fire-type pokemon, but he also has a fondness for steel-types. The Scizor you encountered is one of his." -he mutters something under his breath.- "I'll do some digging today, meet me here tomorrow at 9:00 am and we'll get your pokemon back and bring this man to justice, finally."

Scheherezade: -nods.- "Agreed."

-The two part ways.-

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

Eterna City

Sergey: "Sure thing... oh and remember me to buy some ropes, would you?"

He chuckled

Sergey: "Welp, lets go."

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

making this from a fast-food place. I'll be much later tonight when I post again. If needed, someone else can link the prompt in the SC Thread.

???

-A lone middle-aged human male sits at a table eating a meal of Shellder Linguini Florentine and a bottle of [Chateau Mouton Rothschild] 1945 two Reapers silently stand guard.-

Man: Ah... I haven't eaten like this in years.

-The Reapers raise their pistols as a powerful presence appears nearby.-

Man: I'd stand down if I were you two.

-Both Reapers each fire of a Megidolaon at the new presence - only for the two attacks to be blown away by a shadowy blast of energy that also atomizes the Reapers.-

Man: -shrugging- I told them so...

-The man takes another sip of wine as the new presence addresses him.-

???: ... ... ...

Man: -Spit Take- WHAT?! HOW COULD THEY COME HERE?!

???: ... ... ...

Man: How are they navigating this place?

???: ... ... ...

Man: Hmph. I bet even all that was handed to them on a silver platter...

???: ... ... ...?

Man: It's time to take measures into my hands.

???: ... ... ... - ... ... ...!

-The presence allows it self to be absorbed the man. The man's eyes glow gold before retaking their normal dark brown color as corrupted red and black energy swirls around him. In front of the man's face appears a card appears floating in the air. The back of the cards is primarily blue monotone with a floral-esque outer border framing the main image of a stylized mask in front of a sun-burst pattern rendered in black and white on a blue-monotone checked field with ivy connecting and four shapes that simultaneously is reminiscent as a gate, a lyre, and a podium. The face of the card has a blue floral-pattern border with white numerals at the bottom, "XI". The image in the frame is a stained glass-like image of a vile ritual where a nude female human is being sacrificed to a seven-headed beast rendered in gloomy pinks, yellows, and purples-

"The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed... So alluring is this power... The power to take all you desire... " The Lust

-The card shatters and in the air in front of the man looms a tall Persona in the of a humanoid Aggron, but with any white steel on its body is corrupted to a crimson corruption. The Persona's helmet evokes the image of an Aggron's head twisted 180 degrees then two holes crudely made for the two evil, yellow eyes. The persona's once-black long coat flaps in a non-existant wind as crimson corruption permeates the Persona's garments from the top-down in vein-like patterns.-

Aggron Persona:    I am Thou... Thou art I... Who calls to me...? Thee who shines darker in unimaginable darkness... Wouldst thou even draw on thine hallow self for thine strength...? I am Magatsu-Izanagi... I will determine the path thou shall take...   

-An insane smile spreads over the man's face.-

Man: Come Magatsu-Izanagi. There is much work to do.

-The man turns and walks forward, disappearing into a fog he has no need for special lens to see through.-

Achievement Earned! Evil is Cool! Make a post featuring a villain.

Eterna Forest, Old Chateau, 52 minutes before sunset

Phaz: Mmm... A stone object who is angry due to his other sibling being destroyed. There seems to be a statue over there that's kinda glaring on us. This could be the possibility... But there is also the main hall, where there could potentially be. Let's just see this statue first, shall we ?

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't gold

Oh god sorry I feel asleep with my tablet right next to my face and I woke up at around midday with it open in front of my eyes and a minor freakout ensued sorry!

Old Chateau, 52 minutes until sunset

(Simon frowns.)

Simon: What's the point of capturing someone you were willing to send every ghost in the Chateau after if you're just going to release them after a bunch of humans and unevolved Pokémon beat a simple puzzle? I smell a trick.

Corleone: <As a professional crook myself? Gotta agree with ya...>

Eterna City, yesterday

Julia: I always request consent beforehand! Honestly, what sort of monster do you take me for?

Tastes better on the way back down.

Eterna Forest, Old Chateau, 52 mins before sunset

Phaz: ... Got a point here mate. Maybe it's like one of thoses good ol' videogames when you have to fight a boss at the end ? Or, knowing Ark, she was too wild for this Rotom's "master" will of having a girlfriend or something like that. Anyways... Let's just try and find her first ! If we got her back intac...

Wait a minute here...

-to Reset, in a equally pissed of and distressed voice- Your master didn't said how we will find her ! Did something happened to her ? Is she possessed ?! Tell the truth !
