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

-a particular group of Eeveelutions are gathered together-

Stella: <Well, it's Father's Day again. What should we do?>

Celeste: <I dunno... should I do something special for daddy? Or for grandpa?>

Leaflet: <We usually do, but uh... I have no idea what to do for him this year.>

Electro: <Hey, what about Forte? He's kind of our dad too.>

Shadow: <Not exactly. The relationship between a trainer and Pokémon isn't really the same.>

Celeste: <Huh? Isn't Forte a girl?>

Shadow: <Forte is... unsure.>

Electro: <Okay, okay, never mind.>

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

The Skies Above Solacoen

-Ren is flying his Mod Vehicle to Veilstone.-

Solaceon Northern Outskirts

-A Ninetales watches the mod vehicle fly overhead from a rocky outcropping.-

Oscar: <Happy Father's Day, Dad.>

-Oscar yawns. then stretches.-

Oscar: <Welp. Time to get back to the others.>

-Oscar's eyes glow silver as he leaps from rock, descending the outcropping, before somersaulting off the rocks, switching to his human form to grab a limb of a tree a swinging around tr propel himself to the next limb after releasing his grip. Now leaping from limb to limb and tree to tree, weaving expertly through the canopy to to where Aria and Meg have pitched camp in a small clearing, then landing smoothly near his younger sister, who barely flinches.-

Aria: Welcome back, Oscar.

-Oscar step forward, smoothly grabbing a sausage from the plate Meg is carrying to the folding table before sprawling out on a rock near where a large Luxray is dozing. Meg gives a disapproving glare to Oscar.-

Oscar: So no jump of surprise?

Aria: Rontgen heard you coming. Excalipoor also saw you on his way back here with firewood.

-Oscar "tch's" as he flicks the Delta Luxray's ear.-

Oscar: You're ruining the little bit of fun I'm getting to have here.

Rontgen: <Your friends and your parents - particularly Ren - wanted to makes sure you two stayed safe here. I'm not going to slack off just so you can indulge in your practical jokes.>

-Rontgen's ears twitch.-

Rontgen: <L and Florea are back.>

-A Empoleon and a Roserade walk into the glade carrying baskets of berries.-

L'cirufe: We have arrived with your order!

Florea: <L, this isn't a restaurant...>

Aria Thank you, you two. You can put those by the table and take a break then we'll eat.

Oscar: -scratching his chin- Saw Dad in his Mod Vehicle. He looked like he was heading foe Vielstone.

Aria: Good. Things are going on schedule then.

In the Mod Vehicle

Keys: It's cute you think that, Aria.

Human!Kendall: ...So what now? Will you help me, Blitz?

Solaceon, Lane's Room

Lane:Iggy, Hugo, I'm ba-

-Lane's honked by a party noise maker!-

Iggy;Happy Fathers Day, Papa! :D

-She hops, Hugo chuckles-

C'mere, c'mere! I made ya something! :D

-She drags Lane into the kitchenette, where what seems to be a strawberry shortcake is sitting!-

I made'ja a cake! Come on, try it! ^~^

-She rocks oh so excitedly as Lane sits down-

Lane:Ok, ok, simmer down, Iggy~

-He speaks some cake on his fork, sure to get a little bit of everything, and takes a bite.-

-...-

-...it's...gritty. And...salty?-

-The flavor of the whipped cream seems...expired...-

-And...as Lane realizes...those strawberries aren't strawberries...-

-They're Tamato Berries-

-Iggy's looking at him expectedly-

-The inside of his mouth is starting to tingle-

-Lane liked spicy food...but not spicy cake!-

-Beat-

-He swallows, keeping a straight face-

Iggy:So...so? :D

-Lane ends up polishing off the plate of the small cake-

Lane:It...it was delicious...Iggy. T-T-Th-Thank you...

-He's sweating from the spice-

Iggy:Oh! You liked it? :3c

Cause I made three more! Just for my papa!

-Lane gulps-

-Beat-

-Lane falls out of his chair from spicy overload midway through the third cake-

Iggy:Kya! Papa! D:

-It was on this Father's Day, Lane learned...Iggy couldn't cook-

Thoughts? >=3c

Poor Lane, Iggy just wanted to make you happy!

Blitz: "I'm not sure what's next. But yeah, if there's something I can do, I'll help"

-Blitz closes the book as Ark flies through the wall-

Blitz: "You heard them Mondo, come on!"

Mondo: <On it!>

-Blitz takes a few steps back and slips the book into his bag as Mondo gathers some energy and fires a Moonblast at the Gengar-

And I guess it was mentioned earlier, but I'm assuming the information in the glitch book might be useful for this plot. But probably inaccurate for other appearances. But I'm not very familiar with how WAAPT has treated glitches in the past

Solaceon Town

A certain skinny black-haired undead teenager has come here with his Lucario, partly to practice his Obscura abilities away from Alice and other prying eyes, but mostly to try and escape the calendar.

Lucius: Ugh, I hate Father's Day. Why is it even a thing? It's not a genuine celebration of fatherhood, it's just a cynical marketing ploy to sell a bunch of cards and mugs and crap that nobody needs. And it means I'm going to have to call Titan at some point.

Kirk: <Why do you humans have to make certain days into these weird rituals?>

Lucius: Don't ask me. I don't get any of it. Take birthdays, for instance. Oh, today's the anniversary of the day you managed to escape from inside somebody's torso? Good for you, I guess.

He starts to gather purple energy around his hand, only for it to fade suddenly.

Lucius: Dammit, I just realised something.

Kirk: <What?>

Lucius: I'm going to have to tell Mom about Titan at some point.

Kirk: <I don't get why you get so antsy whenever your mom comes up.>

Lucius: That's because you've never had to talk to my mother before. She probably doesn't even know I died in the first place, which might be for the best. I'm not the sort of person she keeps tabs on.

He forms the outline of another Shadow Claw, this time with more success.

CU, Castle of Reflections

-The two Honchcrow continue to wait.-

-For being hostile creatures whose existence seems to be either stopping or killing you, they seem extremely amiable. Dune summons Seiten - he shuffles uncomfortably under the scrutinizing eyes of Hugin and Munin.-

CU, Alpha Quadrant

Positron: <Aaaaaaaaalriiiiiiiiight, but don't say I didn't warn you.>

Neutron: <Theoretically it could work. With the variables presented, of course.>

-Positron goes over to the terminal nearby and taps on it. A small *ring-ring* from seemingly nowhere sounds in everyone's right ear.-

Positron: <Using this system-system, we can keep in contact with everyone using our patented micro-PA-cro-PA!>

Neutron: <We have also recently installed a system that allows us to deliver a dosage of healing ointment via micro-rocketry. With a certain amount reasonable accuracy.>

Positron: <We've got access to the entire database of possible enemies in here, too. So there's that!>

Chapter 10: We've Got Company

 Chaletwo Pimp Ship 

-Arika, Ammy, and Nandi all rush onto the ship-

Human!Ammy: I'll take pilot, you take gunner!

Arika: Works for me, if this thing can fly!

-They get situated in their respective spots-

Human!Ammy: This thing looks like it hasn't flown in years...

Arika: Well hopefully it can still strut its stu-

-Sees the weapons are controlled by a Simon this time-

OH COME ON

-angrily mashes color patterns in to blast at two incoming ZIP Fighters as Ammy activates a glowing blue coil engine on the ship's back that causes it to sputter, flail and finally take off. Unkar angrily runs out of his stand and shakes his fists at them.

Unkar: <HEY! I was going to sell that through a First Disorder propaganda game for 150 portions!>

 Desert Skies 

-The Chaletwo Pimp Ship soars up out of the desert-

Arika: Stay low for a bit! It throws off their sensors!

-Ammy aims the ship lower to the ground as the ZIP Fighters fly and fire past them. As she swerves Nandi is flung about-

Nandi: <If only I had hands...> @_@

-The ship is hit-

Arika: Does this thing have shields?!

Human!Ammy: It does, but they're on the co-pilot side and you're way down there!

Arika: Try controlling the blasters by matching color patterns!

-She attempts to do so, but misses the ZIP Fighters-

We need cover!

-Ammy spots something in the distance-

Human!Ammy: Cover coming right up!

-She veers the ship toward a valley full of wrecked carrier ships, dodging and weaving among them. Nandi manages to tether herself with her tail, and Arika finally shoots one of the ZIP Fighters down.-

Arika: Still got some assassin in me!

-The remaining ZIP Fighter then disables one of the Pimp Ship's cannons with its own blast-

Arika: ...I gotta figure out how to fire the other cannon! Hold them off!

-Ammy gulps, then dives the ship straight into a wrecked carrier, weaving through and then exiting just in time for Arika to reboot both cannons and destroy the ZIP Fighter-

Human!Ammy: Wooo! Got 'em!

Nandi: <We're saved!>

Arika: Now let's get this thing into space!

-Ammy does so; once there she, Arika and Nandi regroup-

Human!Ammy: That was AWESOME!

Arika: Fuck yeah it was! You flew like a pro, must be the Volcarona in you!

Human!Ammy: And when you got the hang of it you really hit 'em! You do still have some assassin in you!

...

...Probably kinda awkward coming from someone you tried to kill back then but still, you used it for JUSTICE!

Arika: ...True, but that situation was hella complicated and YES I DID!

Both: -pump their fists in the air- WOOOO!

-Nandi smiles at them celebrating before frowning-

Nandi: <...Wait... How do we find everyone else?>

Human!Ammy: ...She has a point.

-to Arika-

You said you knew more about what was going on?

Arika: Erm, well...

-pipe bursts-

...We ought to take care of that first.

-Everyone rushes to do so-

 First Disorder Carrier Ship 

-A Glitch Ampharos lieutenant approaches Kylo Robin after getting clearance from a trooper-

Ampharos: <Sir? We were unable to acquire the Mantine from Totally Not Tatooine™.>

-Kylo Robin turns and gives a    LEER    of Stern Glitch Side Disapproval through his helmet at the Ampharos, who hesitates before continuing-

<I-It made its escape aboard a stolen Ouenian DF model freighter...>

Kylo Robin:    ...Are you trying to tell me a Mantine managed to pilot a freighter?   

Ampharos: <N-No, sir, it had help... We're not entirely sure but there's strong evidence LP-484 helped with the esca->

-Kylo Robin tried to stay calm in that moment, reassure himself he was better than this sniveling Ampharos and the wench that had betrayed him, but at the thought of "someone better" thoughts flooded his mind-

-Corrins◊. So◊ many◊ Corrins◊.-

-At that he flew into a rage and conjured a three pronged glitch bolt he promptly starts tearing into nearby computers and machinery with as the Ampharos looks on with both incredible horror and relief Kylo Robin didn't go after him.-

-Eventually, Kylo Robin stops his rampage, dissipates his bolt, and visibly calms down before turning back to the Ampharos-

Kylo Robin:    ...I-Is that all?   

Ampharos: <Well, they were accompanied by a white-haired girl...>

-At that Kylo Robin lifted his hand as it glowed with glitchy energy that pulled the Ampharos into a crushing choke hold-

Kylo Robin:    WHICH WHITE-HAIRED GIRL?!   

 Chaletwo Pimp Ship, SPAAAAAAACE 

-Arika, Ammy and Nandi are still trying to fix the pipe-

Arika: Hold on...

-Uses her Megagross suit foreclaws to wrench and mash things back into shape-

There!

...

...Now what?

Human!Ammy: Do what Nandi said and find the others?

Nandi: <Yeah!>

-frowns-

<...Problem is I'm not quite sure where they are either...>

Human!Ammy: -to Arika- You said you know more?

Arika: Well, Mata Nui got captured by the glitch people... Robin and Lina got brainwashed into their ranks too... Chrome escaped with me but we got separated... And last but most definitely not least Nandi has that map to Umbra we should probabl-

-Suddenly all but a few of the lights on the ship dim-

...Bad sign?

Human!Ammy: Veeeery bad sign.

-Everyone heads up to the cockpit; Ammy inspects the controls-

Everything's locked...

Arika: ...Waitaminute.

-Uses her suit claws to clamber up and get a better view-

...Well shit, someone's pulling us into a freighter.

Human!Ammy: ...We're being abducted?! I DON'T WANT TO BE PROBED

Arika: Ammy, calm down, it's likely the glitch people...

...Who will probably assimilate us.

...Or worse YOU'RE RIGHT WE SHOULD PANIC

Nandi: <We can't panic, we gotta hide!>

[Human!Ammy: Where?!

Arika: ...

...Remember those pipes I just fixed?

-Everyone clambers down to wedge themselves behind said pipes-

Human!Ammy: All else fails, we go down fighting.

-Suddenly they hear footsteps and voices-

??? 1: I can't shake the feeling this place is awfully familiar...

??? A: <You're probably imagining things.>

??? 1: Normally I'd agree with you, but given our situation...

-Arika sighs in relief-

Arika: Oh thank Kyogre it really is still just the Han and Chewie stand-ins.

Human!Ammy: ...What?

Arika: ...Neeever mind~

-It's then a certain scientist and human-scyther hybrid burst into the ship in bounty hunting gear, Dave wielding some sort of blaster-

Dave: ...Now I get the feeling we've stumbled into something even bigger than what we've been handling.

Mia: <You're probably right this time.>

Dave: ...Reassuring, kid.

Thoughts, nyan?

Solaceon Pokemon Center

Later in the evening, Lucius is lying in his bed at the Pokemon Center, glancing over at his Holo Caster which lies on the table next to him.

Bishop: <It's getting late. Do you need help writing a message?

Lucius: ...No. What's the point? What am I supposed to write? "Dear Dad, thanks for not committing quite so many crimes this year. Love, your undead son." We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. There's nothing left to say.

The Holo Caster starts to buzz. Lucius seems to debate with himself for a while, before eventually choosing to let the phone ring out. Only then does he pick it up and look at the message on-screen.

Lucius sighs, then replaces the Holo Caster and lies back in bed.

Fall City Graveyard

-Jason is standing before the same grave as always. His recently snagged Shadow stands nearby-

Jason:Hey again...dad...

-He sighs-

Another years gone by...a lotta shit's happened...

-Offscreen he may have gotten his broken Snag Arm swapped for the Skywalker model-

Well..the arm for one...

-He looks at Efreet-

Him too, I suppose...

-Said shadow steps forth-

Efreet:   <Why do you waste your time speaking with a rock. Should be becoming stronger. Rock speaking makes you weak...   

-He brings back his foot-

   Then stone must be removed.   

-The swings it forward...and is suddenly on his head-

   <Grah!>   

Jason:-standing over him-Efreet. If you so much as scratch this grave, I'll see it that you miss a limb. Capishe?

-He grits his teeth-

Wish I didn't have to give orders... Efreet. I command you to stand in quiet reverence for the dead. Are we clear?

-Efreet stands and growls-

Efreet:   <...clear, Maxwell.>   

-He stomps over to the gate as Jason sits in front of his father's grave in meditation.-

Efreet followed your command. You each meditated in the silent graveyard. Efreet's Shadow level decreases slightly

Duniree's Room, Today

-Dune looks over at his P*DA.-

-No new messages.-

-Dune shrugs and goes back to it.-

Meanwhile, In Phenac City

-Rachel is having the most awkward Father's Day dinner she has ever had.-

-And I mean, last year's was bad.-

-This one is even worse than that.-

-Mostly because Rachel is pretty sure her dad knows something. But she isn't sure what, mostly because he has been an enigma about his feelings and thoughts for as long as she can remember.-

-And she hopes to whatever god is listening that it isn't what she thinks it is.-

In a nondescript town near Viridian, Kanto

-Is currently having Father's Day dinner-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Scheherezade sets a bouquet of flowers on one of the graves, wiping tears from her eyes.-

Scheherezade: "Tech - Technically he could still be alive."

Balthazar: -Has his head bowed in prayer. After a few seconds, he looks up.- <Do you think, if your father was alive, he would leave you in doubt like this?>

Scheherezade: "He - he could-"

Dunyazade: -lays her hand on Scheherezade's shoulder.- ~You say the same thing every year, Zod. Every year for the past 20 years.~

Scheherezade: "I... I know. But I can hope."

-Siobhan and family are having a Fathers' day dinner.-

-Kendall looks over a ways-

Human!Kendall: ...I sensed a disturbance in that direction... Perhaps we should follow it.

Solaceon, past

Well, Erin knew what she was doing tonight..

I'm coming with you~

Trying her best to be stealthy, she continued to eavesdrop on Blitz and Kendall. Hopefully she'd be able to follow them. She wanted in on... Whatever they were investigating. It was hard to tell.

Blitz: "Right. let's see what we're dealing with"

-He recalls his Clefairy and Arcanine, then starts to follow Kendall-

-Blitz thought he heard something for a moment, but it was probably a Starly or something-

Solaceon, past

-Kendall senses something and turns their head in Erin's direction.-

Contact Me!

Solaceon

Quick, act natural!

Erin, upon noticing that Blitz seemed to have heard her footsteps, quickly changed gears and started a casual stroll. By the time Kendall had turned his head, she had settled into this-although if Kendall had actually KNEW Erin and saw her go on such a stroll in the past couple of days, he could definitely have realized she was faking-she always does such a thing with Swampy.

In case you are not aware, italics=thoughts.

edited 20th Jun '16 2:59:05 PM by GM_3826

thought so

-Blitz pauses, when he realizes Kendall isn't heading for the disturbance they mentioned. Then turns to see Erin, and tries to speak quietly to Kendall-

Blitz: "...Did you have an SEP field up?"

Solaceon

Well, I've been caught. Might as well try to tag along legitimately.

Erin: I'm sorry. What's an SEP field?

Spag-ish thing belated because RL stuffs

-Tori is wandering down the hallway with a phone to her ear-

Tori: "Yeah, I know Dad. He says he's been really busy helping is friends lately. But I'll tell him to visit soon. And I'll tell him your relaxation suggestion, but I'm pretty sure he knows."

-She shakes her head at her father on the other line-

"Because you always suggest that, that's why!"

Iggy: "Kya!"

-Tori quickly opens the door to see Lane groaning on the floor while Ignia is fussing over him-

"Mama! I was just feeding papa cake for father's day and he was really enjoying them and then he just fell over for some reason!"

D:

Tori: "Hm?"

-Lane continues laying and holding his stomach-

-Tori raises an eyebrow, then takes a nibble of the leftover cake-

>~<

"Iggy... Uh, have you tried your cake yet...?"

Iggy: "No, but what's that have to do with anything?!"

Tori: "A lot probably"

-Tori goes to the bathroom to look for something to settle an upset tummy, and hears a disgusted noise from the other room as Ignia tries her cooking-

-She comes out, and gives Lane the medicine, despite Lane trying to move as little as possible-

"Come on. Let's get you in bed"

Lane: "Dun wanna move"

Tori: "I didn't ask, come on. You'll rest better in bed"

Lane: "Nuuuu..."

-Lane pulls back as Tori tries to tug him to his feet, then Tori picks him up and puts him in the bed before crawling on behind him and pulling the covers over them-

Tori: "See? Much comfier"

Lane: "...Uhm..."

-The red haired young man tints-

"...Yeah..."

-The young man covers his face, and red eyes, with a hand for a moment.-

Blitz: "I have no idea"

-He turns to look at Erin-

"Right, well, you've got good ears. Let's see... It stands for Somebody Else's Problem field, it's, uh... A thing some kinds of people do to try and blend in and avoid attention. Or something like that."

-Blitz rubs the back of his head-

"It's supposed to be handy for avoiding eavesdroppers"
