ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

CU, ???

-Dune and Galvani give each other a look.-

-Galvani's says, "I told you so."-

-Dune's says, "I know."-

CU, Foggy Walk

Dune: ... O... kaaaaay. This isn't creepy at all. Nope, not at all.

Galvani: <Oh, stop being a baby. This isn't so bad.>

-Moh Shuvuu attacks with another Night Slash, this time on Izanagi-

SleepyHead: <Well, this looks... opulent, yet kind of broken down.>

CU, What is clearly Ren's Dungeon

-Pent is a tad nonplussed by the carved maiming-

Huh. Out of all of us here I feel you'd have the most stable fate. Though is the leg thing still an issue for you after that miracle meds you took?

-He shrugs and steps towards the gate-

Anyway, Mendel scan things, run support if the Shadow hasn't gotten the memo to put up anti-Mendel barriers and let's get moving.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Jasonscape

(Belinda and Uzuri stop running when Pessimism discards her physical form. Unable to think how to respond, they just stare with a mixture of horror and a certain amount of morbid fascination.)

Tastes better on the way back down.

CU, ???, Past

-Izanagi is struck for a fair amount of damage.-

Ren: ARRRGH! Right then... No more mister nice guy...

-Izanagi's spear-glaive glows with vindictive energy as he finally clears his mind enough to try to swipe at Moh Shuvuu with an attack fueled by the damage he just took.-

CU, Theater, Today

-Mendel nods at Pentigan and heads for the gate.-

Ren: More like bad memories. The Pecha pills were able to restore the recent scaring on my body and the damaged muscles and bones in my left leg, but they were unable to rid me of the old scars on my leg.

-Ren lifts his left pants leg up showing that the statues' carvings is perfectly accurate.-

Ren: -waxing lyrical- Illusions may shatter
But memories stay
Things that really matter
Get lost on the way

I doubt I'll ever be able to fully get over what happened that day...

-Ren's train of thought is interrupted by Mendel.-

Mendel: Hey! There no barrier! It looks like I can go in with you this ti— URK!

-Black circles spread out in the air as Mendel collides with the barrier. Apparently Shadow Ren decided to let Mendel in his the territory under his control.-

Mendel: -rubbing his face- Or maybe I'm stuck out here in the courtyard...

CU, Ren's Worst Nightmare

Alright, fine, just asking. Aaaaaand I guess Mendel is running passive scans and giving us info on the enemies, shall we continue in for the show? I mean I'm assuming your Shadow has enough of your flair for the theatrical to structure his trials like a stage production.

-He sighs and steps forward, already with a card in his hand-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

-Moh Shuvuu is knocked to low health by the Metal Burst-

Moh Shuvuu: <Heh... I'm not beaten->

-A Rock Slide suddenly appears, dealing the last of damage to Moh Shuvuu, causing him to disappear in smoke-

-The Rock Slide is then shown to come from Titan, who lowers her arms-

Lisa: <...There. He's done.>

Solaceon Ruins

???: ~Well, those Unown like to do freaky shit, but they've hopefully got a reason. Unless it's that even freakier glitch.~

-Tagg may sense an extremely powerful Aura he can't quite grasp the nature of-

Blitz: "What the-"

-Beat-

Mondo: <...You don't think that Rotom and Banette's date went south, do ya?>

Blitz: "That... Actually wouldn't surprise me"

-He sighs-

"Well, we don't have a lot of time left. I could go check on it while you guys figure out the next puzzle. Just in case"

Jasonscape, past

-As the mist ands, the voices speak as one, Jason's and Pessimism-

???:Fnally...now...I can...evolve...

-The mist clears, revealing a Dark Form Jason, eyes glowing purple-

Now...you shall know...a battle of Futility...

-They draw Dein Nomos-

CU, Theater, Courtyard, Today

-Ren walks through the gates as well heading for the theater's doors.-

Ren: I just hope he doesn't emphasize audience participation...

-Ren cautiously opens the entrance doors allowing the rest of the group to enter.-

CU, Theater, Entrance Hall, Today

-Theater is decidedly like an abandoned one, except most of the candle stubs are lit. Still, everything is covered in dust and cobwebs. The most of the doors have been blocked by debris or warped shut. The stairs are pockmarked and broken in places. And while the sound of a piano playing can be heard from the auditorium, there is no way to get there directly.-

-However, there is one door on the left leading to a hallway a few candles that are lit.-

Ren: And right off, we are being herded...

Zrone Zone

-As the elevator begins to descend, a familiar voice rings out-

"WHOA WHOA WHOA WAIT FOR ME-"

-A black and crimson armored individual on a Hydreigon barrels on to the lift-

Verax: -Panting, he crosses his arms and tries to look cool- "So there were a ton of robots back there, but don't worry, I smashed them."

Jacob: "... Riiiiight."

-As the lift continues to descend, the intercom turns on again-

"Okay, well this is your last chance. We can settle this peacefully or... well... we can make this messy. I'll be waiting to talk to you all downstairs."

Jacob: ".... I think we know how we're gonna handle this."

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

-Tagg may see Scheherezade enter and look around, because something seems off about the ruins to her. She shrugs, and starts unpacking equipment.-

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

CU Theater

-Joseph ooohs at what's inside-

Spooky~

Blitz: Crap, crap, crap, I'm NOT supposed to actually be beating up whatever of my friend is in that thing!

-Dispite his internal protests, he draws his blade, and glances back to wherever Hikaru might have gotten to to give a "what am I supposed to do about this NOW?!" look before turning back to Jason Futility-

Shinobi: <Yeah, I'm sure. I'm seriously wondering where he keeps getting the material for them all>

-He just scowls behind his tonguescarf at Zrone's latest message-

Right now, I really just want to punch him in the face for what he's done to all these mon. And nearly killing me...

I guess I should be grateful not to have been involved with his "Greninja" prototypes...

-Shinobi shudders and tries not to think about what that could have been like-

Belinda: Crap crap crap what do I do? D:

(Uzuri joins Blitz in turning to Hikaru, desperate for advice.)

Tastes better on the way back down.

CU, Inside

Daydre is here. She was always here. Shush.

Anyway, she gulps and follows after the others.

off the shits

Jasonscape, past

-Hikaru thinks for a moment-

Hikaru:Try...try weakening him! This hold isn't perfect!

-Futility sends swords waves at the group-

Triple...Sword Wave!

CU, ???, Past

-Ren slumps and dismisses Izanagi.-

Ren: Thank goodness... Izanagi was going to be able to take another self-inflicted hit let alone another hit from Moh Shuvuu...

CU, Theater, Entrance Hall, Today

Ren: to Silent as he looks down the hall- Not very many, I'm afraid. And worse than being herded, I'm actually worried if we try to Sequence Break...

Jenna: You know, I thought this was going to be a good place to visit. I really did. I thought for once I could have something normal happen in my life, maybe get a chance to practice move tutoring more...

Lily: Look, no one cares about Episode 10 Part 2, okay? LL Ep 10 ended just fine and we didn't need this ridiculous girl power game.

Noelle: Excuse me? Ep 10 Part 2 is part of the full Last Legend Episode 10 experience! You can't just ignore it!

Jenna: And instead here I am stuck with my lesbian nerd sister who spends all day arguing hopelessly trivial things with her lesbian nerd friends. And of course I can't get off and do things because I'm still six inches tall!

Lily: You're just saying that because it focuses on the girls and they all wear skimpy outfits!

Noelle: Hardly! It allows Yunie and Rikku to show their true characters without being burdened by the weight of the world!

Jenna: And of course, my lesbian nerd sister had the idea to go to him for help, and he hasn't done a damn thing but trim his pretty blue eyelashes and play imaginary card games!

Pianis: Now look, just because this isn't a physical card game doesn't make it imaginary.

Jenna: Augh! That's not even the point!

Lily: I think you need to calm down, Jen. And besides, I'm not lesbian, I'm bisexual. I told you that, right?

Jenna: The point is, why am I not back to normal size yet!

Noelle: Well, we've been looking around, but we still haven't found a way.

Jenna: You are not looking around! You're just sitting around playing terrible computer games!

Noelle: Hmph! As I just told your sister, Last Legend Episode 10 Part 2 is a masterpiece of our time. I won't stand for this!

Jenna: I hate everything.

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

CU, Theater

Fine then, we might as well play his little game. A warm up before punching him, yeah?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Gogie: <Hope we're more ready for this than the Administrator...>

Raser: <Well, if you're all ready I suppose I am.>

SleepyHead: <Well... guess there's not much more to do but continue.>

-She presses on-

Lisa: <Hm. Glad I could help.>

<That said... with him beaten, we still need to find...>

-A voice cuts her off-

???: <So... you've made it here, then.>

-Several lanterns turn on, illuminating the area and showing a giant rose in the center, sitting in the middle of it is a Talonflame greatly resembling Lisa-

Ren: -still exhausted from the Moh Shuvuu fight- Lisa, your shadow has a terrible sadistic streak...

CU, Theater, Today

-A white Pikachu with black eyes and wearing a blue jester-like hat and matching collar bounces merrily down the hall. Ren summons Izanagi when the Pikachu sees him and starts skipping over -

Pikachu: <Hey! You look like the piano guy! He he ho!>

Ren: I know that laugh... Do you know Pyro Jack?

Pikachu: <Of course I know him! He's like a brother to me! He ho!>

-The Pikachu leaps up and lands on Ren's head,-

Pikachu Jack Frost: <As for me, I'm Jack Frost! Nice to meetcha Mr.Not-the-Piano-guy! He he ho!>

Zrone Zone

-As the lift grinds to a halt, it opens up to a small hallway leading to a massive storage bay, at the end of which there is an elevated platform enclosed with glass-

-Standing in the middle of the massive room is Zrone, scepter in hand, waiting-

Jacob: "... Well? Let's go see what he has to say."

-And he stalks forward, Regina and Argentum following-

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

CU, Past ???

"Oh boy, here it comes..."

CU, Theater

First Moh Shuvuu, now this?.. Does this one want to guide us too?
