CU - Forest

-Shadow Joe is hit by the attacks, but the poppy effects aren't going anywhere. With a growl, he swipes his hand, candy canes glowing purple before toppling over like trees-

CU, Forest

-Seiten turns his attention to the falling candy canes and proceeds to smash one of them with a Power Up Punch.-

Seiten: Finally, an easy target!

-Galvani, meanwhile, has Yurlungur continue to pursue Shadow!Joseph.-

Old Chateau- 52 minutes before sundown

-Reset had just come out from behind the glaring statue, when Phaz's angry-distressed questioning scared her right back behind it-

Reset: I-i don't knooooooow! K-keres was the one in charge of her! Th-the mistress just t-told me about th-the game! A-also ew! Th-the mistress is j-j-just a little girl y-you s-s-sicko!

Old Chateau, 52 minutes before sunset

(Simon exhales deeply at Reset's exposition.)

Simon: Well, there's my query answered. If there are two traits common to all little girls, they are a love of silly games and a complete disregard for all other living things.

(He narrows his eyes again.)

Simon: Though you still haven't explained your ability to speak [English]...

Tastes better on the way back down.

"The victim?" Sakura raised an eyebrow

Phenac City

-Rachel Morton is not in a good position.-

-Well, that doesn't entirely cover it.-

-Let me start from the beginning.-

-First, she gets home to find that her brother is getting married.-

-This was good!-

-Then she learns that they're having the wedding in Phenac City because of some silly law that makes it so that you need to have a marriage license from Orre in order to be considered legally married in Orre if you were born a citizen of, you guessed it, Orre.-

-Maybe that's how they kept people from fleeing the region when things got really, dystopianly bad?-

-But anyway.-

-The problem being that in Phenac City, two sets of ears in particular are always waiting for news about that one particular brother of hers.-

-This.-

-Was bad.-

-Especially since she'd now have to help^note Siblings at least earn that much, dealing with parents like theirs prepare for, plan for, and in general majordomo the whole occasion without either of those two public figures becoming wise to the whole situation.-

-...-

-She was going to need help.-

Rachel: Azul! Ross! Verd! We have work to do!

Azul: <Coooooool, maaaaaaan.>

Ross: <Does it involve BURNING DOWN ALL OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION?!>

Verd: <I'm a cactus.>

Sorry for late post, was at a play.

Heartholme, a cafe across the street from the Contest Hall, some time between 9-10AM

-Scheherezade waves Maggie over.-

Scheherezade: "Hey."

-Pendragon bows.-

-Kokone is packing some stuff up when Pyrrha comes over to her-

Pyrrha: <You all packed up?>

Kokone: <Yeah... Still think we could have stuck around here longer.>

Pyrrha: <Come on, didn't you ever want to see what the east side of Sinnoh looks like?>

Kokone: <Maybe. But I'm not really looking forward to what you do in the cave.>

Pyrrha: <Oh, it'll be fine...>

<...By the way, where's Malachi?>

Kokone: <Don't look at me. You're the one who invited him along.>

Pyrrha: <Hm...>

It's fine. Might be a bit distracted myself, though.

Hearthome

-Maggie notices them-

Maggie: "Oh, hey."

"Uh, so what's this about a convict?"

Heartholme, a cafe across the street, yada-yada-yada

Pendragon: -flashes his badge.- "Uther Pendragon, Interpol. There's a fugitive - not convict, we've never been able to take him to trial - that has for some reason taken an interest in Ms. Alizadeh. She's agreed to help take him in exchange for me helping her get her pokemon back, who were stolen by same."

-Scheherezade unconsciously rubs the spot where the Scizor stabbed her.-

Pendragon: "The fugitive prefers fire and steel types, but by no means is he a two-type trainer. Be prepared for anything. You in?"

-He pauses.-

Pendragon: "You're J-team, right?"

"And, er, yes to both of those questions."

Phaz: ... Okay, so a little girl who kidnaps other girls for peoples to find them by going into the chateau. I... Ain't gonna reflect on that. Let's begin the search !

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

Pendragon: "Good. Useful. He's in an abandoned warehouse over on the southwest side of town, on the outskirts. Shall we?" -he motions for the group to leave.-

Balthazar: <This miscreant will pay for his crimes! Charge!>

Scheherezade: "We have a bit of a walk before we start charging, Graf."

Balthazar: <... Very well. The charging shall wait.>

Qwilfish: <Neht thgirla.>

Old Chateau- 51 minutes until sunset

-A pained look flashes over Reset's face for a split second, before she get's back behind the statue.-

Reset: H-hey th-that's private information! J-j-just g-get to work!

Audra: <It has a point. Although, there is not much to analyze.>

Kiaran: <If you've figured it out already, then just spit it out! We don't have time for dramatic pauses!>

Audra: <Just for that, I will continue with said dramatic pause.>

Ralli: <Yer kinda an ass, y'know dat Audra?>

Audra: <My, my, I had no idea you thought of me in that light Ralli. I apologize though, as I am not interested.>

-Verigan pats the sputtering Ralli on the back with one of his feelers.-

Verigan: <There art plenty of fish in the great blue Ralli!>

Ralli: <I... You... Oh shuddup!>

Barclay: <Are ye ready to share with the group now Audra?>

Audra: <Fine, fine. It is quite obviously this statue. It appears to be glaring at us, and the way it is positioned looks awkward, unless there is another statue placed on the other side of the door.>

Ekundayo: <S-so... we just need t-t-to sm-smash it?>

Audra: <Correct. This is where we come into a problem however, as the statue looks fairly durable. Now, Blitz, Simon, do either of you have any particularly strong Pokemon on you? Fighting types perhaps?>

Sergey: "Phew, I'm glad to hear."

Ponyta: <Thanks for helping again, I think I'm good to go now.>

Mireille: ~Ponyta thanks you and said they are ready to go again now.~

Sergey: "Good, and be safe out there."

He got to Text

Sergey: "I guess I'm headed for the hospital, now that I know Ponyta is better."

Duniree's Room

-Deziree and Dune are both flipping through a book of wedding cakes.-

-They flip through the first five pages.-

-Then the next five.-

-Then the next ten.-

-Then the next twenty.-

-They look at each other.-

Dune: Should we just-

Deziree: Let Champloo do it?

Dune: Yes.

Deziree: Agreed.

-They toss the book aside.-

Deziree: Alright, what's next?

Dune: Last for today is where we're having the honeymoon, and I know precisely where it's going to be.

Deziree: Oooooh? What warranted such a unilateral decision?

Dune: I got us a nice little villa in a tiny little town caaaaaaalled... Undella!

Deziree: *Gasp* No way!

-She blinks.-

Deziree: But you hate swimming!

Dune: Who says we're going to be doing any swimming~?

-Deziree snorts with laughter. Dune looks wounded. Deziree then tries to apologize while laughing all the harder. Dune then looks both wounded and confused.-

Tex: "I'll wait for ya here, I have some calls to make.

Red: Love you too, mom. You take care.

She hangs up her cell.

Blue: And how is Mrs. Duane?

Red: Chipper as ever.

Blue: Is she still in Agate?

Red: Yep, still workin' at the Senior Center.

Blue: Did you tell her that we're dating now?

Red: Yeah! It's funny, her immediate response was "Took you long enough!"

Blue: Pffft. Yeah, I guess so.

Eterna City, Pokécenter - Past

Sergey: "Thank you."

With that he made his way to the hospital, he had already prepped the card and flowers... but there it occured to him, he didn't knew Jason in the slightest... was it really a good idea to just barge into his hospital room? Especially not when his nerves were around as weak as he thought them to be. In the end he just gace the card and flowers to a nurse there with asking her to ring them to Jason when he felt better... well as good as one can feel in this situation anyway.

Silas: Yes Hacks had to remind me... *leans over* Mom says Hi. *focuses back on his phone call* Yeah I love you too.

Tae: <Least ya got it done and out of the way. Nice to hear from them again.>

Hacks: <I swear, if he wasn't so easily distracted by his work this wouldn't be a problem.>

Silas: I assume you are talking about me.

Hacks and Tae nod.

Silas: Figures.
