ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Ren follows Brandon into the temple, sending out Hecate, who uses Flash to ensure the corridor is well lit as she floats overhead.-

Snowpoint Temple

Following the discussion about psychics, Lissa has become noticeably tense, her hands balling into fists. She continues to stay on watch with Ren's borrowed Pokemon whilst Lucius sends out Kirk and follows behind Brandon.

Trans rights are human rights. JK Rowling preaches hate. If you sit at a table with five bigots and say nothing, there are now six bigots.

Snowpoint Temple

Wilhelm: Ah, it's just silly grown-up things. Don't worry about it.

(He turns and trudges away from the scene at the temple, though with a stifled gait that suggests he fully expects to be followed.)

Tastes better on the way back down.

Snowpoint Temple

-Another low rumble echoes through the temple as the group descends. Glitch particles flicker across the walls, but don't approach any of the travelers. For the most part, the journey down is uninterrupted, but just before the stairs to the final floor, a glitchy haze covers the area. When it fades, there are five armored Dunsparce in varying states of disarray-

Samus: <Ugh... what next...?>

-Samus is the first to get up and look around, then holds her gaze on the main group-

Samus: <Who, exactly, might you be? And where are we?>

-Ren blinks at the Dunsparce.-

Ren: I don't think we're in Unova anymore, Kitsune.

Kitsune: <Hoho.>

Snowpoint Temple

-To Samus-

This is Snowpoint Temple, we're the J-Team, and we could ask you the same quest-Aura Sense-Wait a sec...

Just like back in the Solaceon Ruins, so these guys must be...

Temple

Sergey and Alyesha followed the group, as they saw the Dunsparce they both waited for now, though both readying their Pokéballs.

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

==Snowpoint Temple==

Zachary looks at Wilhelm for a brief moment before starting to think about something, however, he snaps out of it as he sees the group enter the temple and he runs in until suddenly stopping confused when he sees the armoured Dunspace.

Zachary: "Oookay, this suddenly took a turn for the weird"

Might have to stop on my end for a while, since it's quite late over on my end, but will come back tomorrow and hopefully not miss out on a lot

Thank you Umbra for the pic.

Back during the Incursion Victory Party, before Team Umbra showed up, TS

-A bunch of my mons are talking-

Muddy: <...So then the parser examined the meteorite shards, and then we watched Star Wars, except with Team Umbra in the main roles, plus Mia and Dave.>

Azumarill: -Drinking a Rindo Berry smoothie- <Uh huh...>

Muddy: <And then we watched Gil and Enkidu's home universe get created by a giant space Froakie that formed from Umbra and company using the power of the Tickets to Unova.>

Azumarill: -Spittakes◊, getting some of her Rindo smoothie on a rather perturbed looking Hydreigon- <Wait, what?>

Hydreigon: >.<

Muddy: <Well technically they weren't quite our tickets if what Waka said was true, but still.>

Azumarill: <Right…>

-Hops off the table-

<Well then, between this and the Nexus fight you guys mentioned I think I'm gonna go take a lie down...>

-Immediately enters her Poké Ball-

-Mezzo tilts her head at the team's arrival-

Mezzo: <Wait, what are you guys doing here?>

Pianis: Piano, is that you?

-...-

Pianis: You look really cute like that, you know.

Mezzo: <Shut up. Where's my team?>

Pianis: Uh, somewhere.

Felis: <No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We are not joining her team. Is that final?>

Sunny: <Aww, but she likes you!>

Felis: <Runt, if she actually liked me, she would listen when I tell her to get the hell off me.>

Mezzo: <Hey, I'm the trainer here, so I get to decide. Now then, when it comes to Flying vs. Rock types, this team does lean Flying.>

Dreadwing: <Damn straight.>

Felis: <That doesn't mean a thing. I am not siding with that pink little brat.>

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

Snowpoint Temple

Samus: <...Hm. So you're the team these guys were part of before they got stuck like they are now. So chances are, you're not our enemies.>

-There's another rumble, and Samus turns toward the stairs-

Samus: <....And whatever's down there, is.>

Venomous: <Yeah, it's nice to see you guys again.

Even if it doesn't look like Raser is with you...>

-Wirrbelle turns her attention to the shaking-

Wirrbelle: <Well, suppose we'll need to go and deal with it, then.>

-Team Umbra's headed down here and stares-

Arika: Krattasparce? Again?

-Ever is here-

Ever: Hey, do you know where Mezzo's team went?

Diesel: <Not only do I not know, I don't want to.>

Ever: ...Well, they're self-sufficient. Diesel, do you ever feel like you're missing something really important to you?

Diesel: <Every moment of every day.>

Ever: Huh...

Snowpoint City

-Mix is here, though he has elected to hide in Butterscotch's mane (despite the illusion)-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Site 022A

Dune: Ajax, come on!

-Ajax looks down at the stairwell, covered in ice and snow.-

Ajax: <Are you sure it will hold my weight?>

Dune: There's only one way to find out.

-Ajax looks back down the hallway - no other doors leading off, no getting away from the downward descent. He takes a deep breath, and sets his foot down on the first suspended step.-

...

Ajax: ... <Huh?>

-Ajax shifts his weight onto the step. It holds his weight and then some.-

Ajax: <Not even a creak...>

-Dune looks at Ajax in confusion a few steps down the spiral staircase.-

Dune: What?

-Ajax sets both feet on the step, putting his not-insignificant weight on it. The step holds.-

Ajax: <This... how old is this? This step isn't even shaking.>

-Dune's brow furrows.-

Dune: Metal left unmaintained for fifteen years shouldn't be that sturdy.

-Dune bends down to inspect the stairs, but can barely see anything beneath the snow and ice.-

Dune: Let's keep heading down. This is getting weirder and weirder...

-A snowbank near the bottom of the stairs shifts, but Dune and Ajax are too far to notice.-

Snowpoint Temple

-Jason blinks-

-Blinks twice-

Jason:...well then. Hello Power Suits.

The battle will start first thing in the morning, and can last throughout the day and possibly into the next if need be.

Snowpoint Temple

-Samus doesn't look back at Arika as she descends the final stairs, but does respond to her nonetheless-

Samus: <Not quite. The suit design was indeed based on the Kraata and Rahkshi of Insula Nui, but we are not directly related to them.>

Slight retcon, I've changed the name of Jimmy's Zorua to Zulu. I'm also changing my name color formula around

Jimmy: "Come on out, Zulu. We'll do this together"

Zulu: <Let's kick some tail!>

Scout: <You've got spirit, kid. But can you back it up?>

Zulu: <You bet!>

BAH SCHOOL STARTING AND HAVING NO TIME!

-Siobhan followed the group in earlier and has been here all along I swear.-

Siobhan: "I'm... guessing there is context for these Dunsparce I am missing."

Eterna Forest, in the Old Chateau [Past]

-Phaz's mons look at what is happening-

Volta: -thinking- <...Nailed it.>

Cynthia: -thinking- ~...The more time passes, the more i question the sanity of this group.~

Eterna Forest, Outsides [Past]

Phaz: I'm almost a hundred percent sure they don't do that. Did you think our mons won against this glitch?

Eterna, front of the Gym [Present]

-Phaz is startled and blushes yet again when Ark grabs him and drag him along, but does nothing to stop her.-

Phaz: O-okay. Let's do this then.

Amelie: Nice. I wanna see this.

-A bit further, roughly 1.23 meters away...-

Ashley: <He's gonna be fine.>

Cynthia: ~I ship them so hard and it's happening! Yes!~

Ashley: <No. Calm down. Bad Cynthia.>

Cynthia: ~Killjoy.~

Ashley: <Ok. We should move on, Phaz ain't gonna win this badge by himself.>

Inside the Eterna Gym

-Phaz and his team enters the Gym. The first thing they notice is the heat. Then the humidity. Then the giant trees, coming from an humid earth and going up the ceiling. The smell of wet wood and flowers fills the rest of the place. The humid atmosphere inside makes it tedious to breathe. A path made of jungle wood slabs helps getting to the center of the Gym, where trees are replaced by grass, and exotic flowers forming the familiar pokeball on the floor.-

Phaz: Okay. -inhale- Let's beat this gym.

Snowpoint Temple

- Hmm... Should DS be here? She probably should, shouldn't she? -

- Linnéa/Ray would've probably stayed behind, though, since they only have three Pokémon -

- Hmm... How to do this... -

Snowpoint Temple

-What awaits at the bottom is, indeed, none other than Regigigas. Miraculously, it seems to have fought off the glitch corruption for a while, but not without severe damage to the area around it. Unfortunately, it isn't anymore; the group arrives downstairs just in time to see the titan helplessly kneeling as glitch particles swarm it.-

-The swarm fades to reveal a monster made of rock, ice, and iron, with mere glimpses of Regigigas beneath the corrupted exterior.-

-Exactly 28 eyes blink awake and gaze upon the group below.-

Brandon: Dear Arceus, this is worse than I ever imagined...
