ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Near Blitz

Kendall: Follow me.

-And they're off-

Likely Shut-Down Game Corner in Veilstone

-Gil, Enkidu, Kendall, Tagg, and Blitz should be here-

Gilgamesh: OK, to start off... Whatever legends you may have heard about me or my bro Enkidu in this world, I'm pretty sure you can tell the versions of us - and Kyurem here - standing before you aren't exactly locals in a cosmic sense by now.

-To Gil-

Yeah, I kinda figured, this isn't my first multiversal rodeo.

Blitz: "Yeah... Kendall mentioned that much earlier"

-He rubs the back of his head-

"Kind of a first for me though"

Near Tagg and Blitz

Human!Kendall: -to Blitz- Tagg and our group shall help you, then.

Gilgamesh: -to Tagg- Okay, good, because this is where this gets problematic.

Enkidu: ~Around... April 12 this year on your calendar, there was a metaphysical disruption that damaged both our worlds. On our end, multiple people and Pokemon, many of high cosmic or historical importance, were displaced across space and time and woke up trapped here, unable to get back. On this world's end... Do you know of a Team Umbra and those associated with them?~

-To Enkidu-

Team Umbra?

--

Oh, Umbra and the others? I think I'm seeing where you're going with this, and I'm not sure if I like it...

Blitz: "That doesn't sound good"

-He pauses-

"I heard the name once or twice... Wasn't Umbra getting ready for a wedding or something?"

Defunct Game Corner

Enkidu: -to Blitz- ~From what we found he was... Until he and his six closest friends - Lina, Ammy, Arika, Nico, and Robin - vanished.~

Gilgamesh: Gone, nothing left of them, nada, zilch, and a ton of humans and Pokemon associated with them to boot. Our world's Xerneas is on a scouting mission using leading a team of supervillains made of some of your other friends as a front, and he's confirmed that some have outright vanished and others are in this weirdass limbo.

Enkidu: ''~Now, most of the ones who vanished - including Team Umbra themselves - have little to no metaphysical importance to your world, so it has thus far remained unaffected. But those of us trapped here who can still sense ours have noticed great instability has been caused in it...~

-turning to Kendall-

~...And the third member of our party can best sum up why.~

Human!Kendall: -tuns to Enkidu, perks up noticeably- You... You want me...?

Enkidu: -nods- ~You spent so long without a voice. You ought to be ours in this crisis.~

Human!Kendall: -beams, then nods and somewhat nervously moves toward Tagg-

Tell me... Are you the leader of this J-Team?

-To Kendall-

I'm the closest thing the J-Team has to it, if just because I can rally everyone together to act like a well-oiled machine if necessary.

Defunct Game Corner

Kendall: -gives a small smile- If that is the case...

-bows-

...As the former Iron Arbiter of Unova it is an honor to meet you.

-they right themself and their expression becomes more grave-

...I do wish it could have been under better circumstances, however. To start... Do you know of the Jewel of Life?

Further reinforcement the Vahirom fakemon species ™ Kynim and used for Kendall with permission. Since I'm adadamant about giving Kynim proper credit for her dragon baby.

-To Kendall-

Kinda, the lore's a little sparse where its concerned.

Defunct Game Corner

Human!Kendall: I figured such would be the case... The legends about it vary across worlds, though most attribute it to a conflagration of Arceus' core plates... In our world, however, it is a separate object of power exceeding all of them combined, said to embody Arceus' Great Spark as The Creator...

-they pulls out the shard recovered from the raid - it's green with flickering gold light-

...And this is all that's left of it.

-To Kendall-

That's... not good.

Blitz: "...What happened to the rest of it...?"

Veilstone

Sergey and Alyesha were both around with their teams, Alyesha was at her stand, selling food.

Defunct Game Corner

Human!Kendall: -to Tagg nodding- Decidedly.

-to Blitz-

The anomaly wounded Arceus more than any being in their own world ever could... it's still recovering, and the Jewel's power was likewise suppressed and the Jewel itself displaced to here.

-their expression grows more thoughtful-

At first, we wondered... Why this world, and why were only very specific people in yours affected? Then seeing more of this world made us realize... Our world and yours share a strange relation.

Fight Area, July 4th

-Tex is still looking for Des-

Game Corner, yesterday

-To Kendall-

And that would be?

Defunct Game Corner, yesterday

Human!Kendall: -looks into Tagg's eyes- Our worlds... They are related. Yours is not the yin to our yang - I know yin and yang well.

-they look down and off to the side-

-softly- Almost too well...

-They look up at Tagg again and sigh, shaking their head.-

But that is not the point. The point is that would imply they are opposites when they are most definitely not; our world is more like a child of yours, and your friends that disappeared helped its birth.

Tex:The Stormchaser has moved to Vielstone. Also I'm busy sorry.

Gotcha

Game Corner, yesterday

-To Kendall-

So if I'm understanding you correctly, the universe you guys come from spun off from our own, and our friends played a major role in that. Which means, they've ended up sometime in the past of our world, likely farther back than any time I've ever been to before.

CU, Castle of Reflections

-The metal Rapidash wheels around and is suddenly... gone.-

-...-

Dune: ... OH -

-The room explodes into thunder and chaos as a Vacuum Wave rips through the room, hitting everybody.-

-The Rapidash canters up behind the group after it's loud display, taunting them while pawing at the ground.-

Defunct Game Corner

Kendall: -blinks, grins- Of course! They were displaced in spacetime as well! You are a scientist, right, Tagg?

-bows again-

You decidedly have the brilliant mind of one.

-Rights themself, looks at the Shard again-

Perhaps... Perhaps with your help I can find where...

Veilstone

Sergey and Alyesha are still around the latter still selling food and listening to stories.

Game Corner, yesterday

-To Kendall-

I promise my mons and I will do everything in our power to help you.
