Mew!Blitz: ~We will!~
-He starts to wave farewell while he can, and when Kendall has faded he continues looking at the spot for a few moments before rubbing his eye briefly-
''~Heh... You had to start crying, didn't you?~
-Beat-
-Blitz turns at Wakka's prompting question-
~Well, back to the usual I guess, everyone's on track to get home, and we've still got glitches to track down... And dunno about you guys, but I'm sore and tired~
Cathedral, past
...And so they left, like foam on the surface of the waves.
-To Waka-
We've mostly figured everything out, there's just the matter of Team Umbra now. However long that takes.
-To Blitz-
How about a victory dinner, on me?
Helios: -Aside- <I could really go for some honey right now...>
Hydreigon: -Sniffing everyone- <They don't have any food...>

Nah, it'll be like back in Ransei, except this time you're not beating the crap out of us with a laser sword.

Waka: -smirks- <I can live with that.>
-starts heading off-
Mew!Blitz: ~Are you kidding, Tagg? That sounds amazing right now~
Mondo: <Hey, Mew, forgetting something?>
-Blitz headtilts as the Clefairy (who's totally been keeping an eye on Blitz's stuff and hanging in the background in case there was need and opportunity for a medic), Mondo pulls out a small mirror, and Blitz looks at his reflection for a moment before face-pawing-
Mew!Blitz: ~Right... Not even sure how I managed to do that in the first place~
After a few moments of concentration, Blitz shifts himself back to... Well, not normal, per se, since "he" is now a pink haired girl... But human at least-
F!Blitz: "Are you kidding me..."
-Still, Blitz follows along as the group starts to head out-

...Dealing with Mew can have... odd side-effects.
-Starts heading off too, taking a moment to look at the literal river of Aura flowing through the Nexus-
And so the multiverse is saved again, but we still have Glitches to deal with. In the meantime, however, I think we can celebrate our victory.

-After everyone has left, the place is silent-
-However, if one were to sense the Nexus, they would hear grateful echoes from another world...-
-Giratina enters from a distortion portal and greets Yveltal-
Yangverse!Giratina: <How's your bro doing after finding out about Pandora?>
Yangverse!Yveltal: <Better, and gratefully very much so.>
-she gives a beaky smile as she turns to further in the glade-
<It helps discovering video games seems to be helping him get through it...>
-Further in, Xerxes, AKA Yangverse!Xerneas, is currently human and somehow has a computer with wifi set up and playing Starcraft-
Human!Xerxes: These games by Sheer Cold Entertainment are great!

I just wish I could place who recommended them to me...
-Gilgamesh and Enkidu enter a royal aviary filled with Natu-
Enkidu: -blinks- ~That's a lot of Natu!~
Gilgamesh: Yep! Lil' birds have been at my beck and call ever since I was born! No one really knows where they came from, though...
-the Natu all exchange winks, which Enkidu raises an eyebrow at-
-N is off to himself, thinking, when Reshiram approaches-
Reshiram: <Hey. What's wrong?>
N: Oh! Well, we've been sitting here safe with Tom and Roger a while... But, I don't know, I still want to learn to ridge the gap between humans and Pokemon and so want to see the world a bit more?
-Reshiram thinks-
<...How about Anistar?>
N: -thinks, then smiles- That place with the sundial? I could learn something from that!
Reshiram: -smiles back- <Let's do this, then.>
-As they head off to prepare, however, they both think to themselves-
Both: How did I know that again...?
-Steven is conversing with Wallace-
Steven: ...Oh! And I recently obtained this!
-pulls out a small pink orb-
Rose quartz sphere, unique swirls, never seen anything like it!
Wallace: Ooh! Seems glamorous!
Steven: There's one thing that bothers me about it, though...
Wallace: What?
-Steven looks at the sphere in confusion-
Steven: My memory can't decide if I got it as a gift or found it myself...
-A Trainer starts making his way through the forest, eager to find rare Pokemon-
-Suddenly, an apparation of a mouth with an eyeball inside and a mechanical disembodied hnd appears, and he screams, running off-
-Within the undergrowth Darkrai chuckles-
Eugene: <Heh... That'll keep away trespassers! Wish I could thank whoever taught me if I could just remember it right... Waka? No, that wouldn't come out of his Latios head...>
-Kendall is here, sleeping-
-Decorating a rock wall nearby are figurines of Tagg, Siobhan, and the Deerspeople-
-At the top, right next to a certain Crimson Lady figurine is one of Shinobi-
-Kendall stirs closer to the wall in their sleep and gives a happy buzz-

-Tom and Roger are sitting together-
Roger: Well, N and Reshiram are off on a trip... We've got the place to ourselves.
Tom: -wiggles eyebrow seductively- I know what we can do...
-Reaches under the table and pulls out...-
-...A copy of Star Wars Episode VII, grinning enthusiastically-
...Finally watch the new Star Wars!
Roger: -furrows his brow- That would be cool... except for some weird reason I feel like we just saw it already. Even though we didn't.
Tom: ...Huh, me too...
-Beat-
...You think it was that weird dream we both had?
Roger: -scoffs- From what I've heard the plot isn't that crazy...
...For starters how could they get the rights to a fucking Thunderyu-Volcaryu-Polaryu hybrid?

This is how, nyan!
Chapter 24: Triple Threat
-The fight against the draconic monstrosity Lina had become continues-
-Lina's Thunderyu head fires an electric-breath Thunderbolt at Roger, knocking him to the ground-
Roger: HEY! I'm your biggest fan!
Tom: I prefer Polaryu!
Roger: ...Target the Volcaryu head?
Tom: Great idea!
-They both blast at the head in question as the Thunderyu head blasts at Ammy and Arika while the Polaryu head blasts Mata Nui and Mia.-
-Ammy and Mata Nui are hit, but both recover enough for Mata Nui to attack the Thunderyu head with an Earthquake Punch while Ammy and Arika target the Polaryu head with a Flamethrower and Meteor Mash.-
-Mia continually X-Scissors at the body until the dragon roars and shashes her into a tree-
-She is promptly zapped in the Polaryu and Thunderyu heads by WN-3411 and roars, spitting a Dragon Pulse at him-
-Finally Lina roars again with all three heads and lets off an AOE Tri Attack blasting back all her foes-
Thunvolararu!Lina: You remain insolent? Guess I'll have to think bigger!
-raises her claws-
By the power of [LOVECRAFT]'s racism!
-Her body becomes an amorphous glitch mass again that grows and turns into something the size and shape of a Primal Groudon...-
Viral Groudon!Lina: Don't expect to make past this alive!
Tom: Aww, why couldn't we have fought an actual Groudon?
Tom's line dedicated to Umbra's friend Jared, nyan. And thoughts, nyan?
The Fourth Wall knows my Outrage. :3-Shadow sighs and shakes his head-
Shadow: <Powder Snow, I expect so little from you now, and still you betray me. All I asked was that Priest start seeing some viability in competitive again, and you give me... this atrocity.>
Celeste: <What's wrong, Uncle Shadow?>
Shadow: <Look at this card. Can you read it?>
-Celeste looks at the image on Shadow's computer screen-
Celeste: <Pur... Purify... Silence a friendly minion, draw a card.>
Shadow: <Exactly. While there is technically a purpose to silencing my own minions generally the only reason I would want a silence is to use on enemies and even if I did we already have a card that silences and costs 0, plus another that draws a card for 1, so I really have to ask what Powder Snow was thinking when they designed this.>
-Celeste tlits her head-
Celeste: <I dunno. Your games are silly.>
-the door opens, and Forte walks in, carrying Icicle-
Celeste: <Grandpa! Forte! You're back!>
Shadow: <You were gone?>
Forte: Hi. Sorry for leaving you guys behind like that, but we got picked up for a spur-of-the-moment thing.
Icicle: <It was fun! There were legendary battles and I got to help Forte throw Shadow Balls!>
Forte: -pets Icicle-
Shadow: <Oh? Intriguing...>

Wirrbelle: <Ngh... I was hoping they'd be happier to see us...>

Solaceon Ruins(?)
-One particular Unown cluster gets hit by both of Wirrbelle and Venomous's attacks, and screeches and falls apart, leaving random Unown writing embedded in the ground. The one that Aero attacks, however, is unharmed, although its attention is taken from its previous target.-
-Samus frowns, and hits it with a Charge Shot Shadow Ball, sending it reeling and vanishing into the fog again. The three that disappeared earlier come into sight again, throwing more random Hidden Powers. Samus dodges one of the attacks.-
Samus: <Looks like we better stick with the basics for these... things.>

Update 1 of 2 today, nyan!
Chapter 25: Unholy
-The eldritch Groudon Lina roars and sends a glitchy Earthquake at the group, knocking them back.-
-She then extends gooey tentacles from her sides that engulf Mata Nui and WN-3411 and absorb them into her side-
Ammy: <NO!>
Viral Groudon!Lina: <YES! If I cannot crush your power, I shall consume it for myself!>
-Ammy attacks her with kamikaze Fire Blasts, but Lina merely shrugs them off and engulfs Ammy with another tentacle-
She sends a Precipice Blades at everyone remaining; Mia dodges only to be engulfed by another tentacle-
-Roger is nabbed by a tentacle; Tom tries to pull him free but is pulled in as well-
-Arika tries a last-ditch Earthquake Punch but is engulfed and despite her struggles is pulled inside Lina's body with the others-
Inside Viral Groudon!Lina
-Everyone's floating inside here-
Roger: Welp. We're all about to be digested. Game over.
Arika: ...Not quite.
-Pulls out the Tickets-
Ammy: <You... You still have...?>
Arika: Yep. If we work together with these... We still have a chance.
Ammy: ...
-her expression would become far more determined if she was human-
Alright!
Roger: Better than being lunch!
Tom: Let's do this!
Mata Nui: <Down with the Glitch!>
WN-3411: <Up with hope!>
Mia: <Yay.>
-They all grab the Tickets as they glow...-
Powersave Base
-Viral Groudon!Lina roars in agony as glowing figures burst from their stomach-
-The first of them are a Solgaleo and Lunala-
???!Arika: <Hah! You thought you could ->
-realizes she is the Solgaleo-
<...Wha?>
Lunala!Ammy: <...Something feels off.>
Solgaleo!Arika: <Well duh! We're the patron deities of Alola, but I'm the Sun one and you're the Moon one!>
-And due to... complications, nyan, you have the moves of Metagross and Hoopa!-
Lunala!Ammy: < ...Figures.>
-Meanwhile, a couple other Legendaries get their bearings-
Black Kyurem!Roger: <What the hell?>
White Kyurem!Tom: <Woo! We're awesome!>
-the others of the party are all kaiju-sized, with WN-3411 being Mega as well-
Kaiju!Mata Nui: <This feels almost natural!>
Kaiju!Mega!WN-3411: <Not for me.>
Kaiju!Mia: <Wait, weren't we fighting?>
-it's then Viral Groudon!Lina recovers and snarls-
Viral Groudon!Lina: <I'm not done yet!>
-she digs her tentacles into the ground, draining the planet of its remaining life energy, before raising her claws in the air-
<By the power of OVERUSED INTERNET BUZZWORDS!>
-A transmutation circle forms around her as chants of "ed-gy, ed-gy" echo and she grows and twists into a titanic creature resembling Lina but with Shadow Mewtwo's tail, skin and shoulder spike, and Cortana-like glitchy Tron Lines across her body-
Promethean!Lina: Still hungry...
-snatches several New Disorder ZIP Fighters out of the sky with tendrils resembling her Viral Groudon form's and absorbs them-
There! Now you shall all be annihilated!
Human!Chrome: ...Hit it from afar!
-The Rextance ships veer away to a safe firing range-
-At the same time Shiny Rayquaza!Robin and Palkia!Dave swoop in-
Shiny!Rayquaza!Robin: Sorry we're late!
