Sunnyshoar Jim
IP: This battle feels like it's been going on quite a while.
Ever: Nope.
IP: Pardon?
Ever: I actually resolved it offscreen. I didn't really want to figure out how I was going to fight a legit robot Legendary, so I just had Salamence work something out and I skipped the battle.
IP: You can't do that!
Ever: That's patently false.
IP: Finish the fight! You've yet to defeat my final Pokemon!
Ever: Well, where is it?
IP: I—
I—
Ever: Yeah, that's what I thought. Badge and TM please.
IP: ...Very well. Ever, you've come astonishingly far considering that all these Jims are completely fake and I've just been trying to murder you.
Ever: Cooler character concepts than you have tried.
IP: Hmph. Take this badge.
-they hurl an antique throwing knife at Ever, who catches it-
-by the blade-
Ever: Ow ow ow I regret this decision immediately and so much
IP: And this TM!
-they throw a pizza at Ever-
Ever: ...Huh. This is nice.
-he takes a bite, immediately thinks better of this course of action, and spits it out-
-he then notices that it has "Chok Waev" written on it in olives-
Ever: Well, anyway, have a good day.
-he leaves-
Sunyshore, outside the Jim
Ever: Okay, so the city is still a horrifying glitchscape. Alright then.
-an Altaria flutters down and lands on his back. Ever reaches up to pet her head-
Salamence: <Hey, did you say the stuff I told you?>
Ever: Uh, yeah. Not that I understood it at all. How did you get rid of that Zekrom anyway?
Salamence: <I couldn't tell you~>
Ever: Uh, alright.
-he keeps walking-
Cornelia: <No, seriously. How'd you do it?>
Salamence: <Called in a few favors around Sinnoh and had it shot into the sun.>
Cornelia: <...Huh.>
Brushfire: <Ooh! Can you do that for me?>
Cornelia: <Everything alright, Brushfire?>
Brushfire: <Well, they always said at Fennekindergarten that being in the proximity of heat could help you evolve.>
Cornelia: <...>
-she slithers from Ever's head to Brushfire's-
Cornelia: <I sometimes worry about the quality of education at this Fennekindergarten.>

Ludmilla: Dune?
-Dune looks over.-
Dune: Yes?
Ludmilla: What is "Thanksgivink"? Er, "Thanksgiving".
-Ludmilla grimaces as she overemphasizes the hard G.-
Dune: Well, think of it as a big holiday for family reunions.
-Ludmilla tilts her head in puzzlement.-
Dune: Okay, er, think of it this way - you know Auntie Psyche, Uncle Ren, and Uncle Jacob?
Ludmilla: Yeah?
Dune: Well, they're kinda like our family. We sometimes don't see each other for a while, and we sometimes disagree, but we all still get together and have fun and laugh and eat. Thanksgiving is basically a holiday just for that.
Ludmilla: Ooooooooh. Where are we eating?
-The sound of a truck backing up can be heard outside. Dune and Ludmilla go to the window to see, only to find a Lucario, with a red bandana on his head and on his arm, signing for a box the size of a Golem.-
Dune: ... I'd say we're doing it here. Good thing we already have a big table.
-The truck unloads a second, equally sized box.-
Dune: Hey, Dezi? Mind helping me make some room in the kitchen?
-Deziree yells back from the other room.-
Deziree: Sure, I'm at a stopping point. Why?
Dune: Champloo.
Deziree: Say no more.

Sunyshore Evacuee Zone
(Unlike normal fog, there's no gradual build-up of moisture until suddenly you realise you can no longer see your hand in front of your face. When Volkner steps across the perfectly straight boundary, it looks more like he's forcing his way through a wall of thick, viscous liquid - an impression not helped by the way his silhouette on the other side immediately starts grasping at his throat as though choking for air. Anyone who follows should immediately realise why, as the sheer density of the fog pressing upon them all at once causes a brief, terrifying moment of blindness and suffocation; even once this passes, breathing is difficult and nothing in any direction can be made out through the rippling haze.)

-Munn goes into the fog, first; Joseph follows. Both take a minute to adjust to the fog, Joseph obviously tightly wound as they follow-
Another green world."...Welp, here we go :/"
Des trudges forward towards Volkner's form.
GIVE ME YOUR FACESunyshore, edge of the fog
-Pent stops at the edge of the fog and waits to see what happens to the first few to go in... Alright, dense gas and minimal visibility. Yeah Pent hangs back and starts rummaging in his bag for a few things like the lens from his Collective Unconsciousness efforts just incase this turns out to be related rather than purely a glitch effort, a gas mask and of course the blade of the Horseman-
While they're distracted, go north.
Alright, ready to go...
Oh, I guess additional power would be nice.
-With his prep done he steps through the fog with a quick step to minimize his time in the densest edges-
Sunyshore, Evacuee Camp
Sergey stepped into the fog, his first reaction was falling to his knees as he grabbed his throat too... what a great start indeed, he made a mental note not to let Loran out of his ball while in here.
Mireille: ~Its alright, breathe, in, and out.~
Mireille laid a hand on his shoulder, obviously she was coping with the fog better than him... or at least she got used to it faster. After a while Sergey indeed started to - at least more or less - cope with the fog.
"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"-Ashen is wary, a hand on her crossbow. She seems unaffected by the fog. Argent looks... unhappy. Dunyazade looks like she's about to faint. Balthazar is grimacing. Archimedes completely doesn't care, apparently.-
-Siobhan is having unpleasant flashbacks to the last Gltichfog incident she was in. Except its harder to breathe.-
All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.Sunyshore
Zachary stares at Volkner entering the fog and gulps before looking at his team.
Zachary: "O-Okay, guys, it's okay, we'll just take our time and slowly enter once we determine it's saf—"
Smoke suddenly jumps from beneath the ground and dashes into the fog.
Zachary: "...Or not, I guess"
Joulet: <Psshh! This measly fog, no matter how pressing it may be, is no match for me, the valiant sparkling hero, Joulet! I shall liberate this place from this corrupting glitch no matter what!>
Zachary: "Joulet, no, wait!"
Joulet bravely and also blindly walks into the fog, before instantly running right back out with eyes widened in shock and in the midst of an intense coughing fit.
Zachary: "Well, a lot of people are already going in...It's now or never!"
Ghiaccio: <I'M REEEEAAALLLY CONSIDERING NEVER RIGHT NOW!!!>
Zachary counts to 3 and runs into the fog while pushing Ghiaccio and Joulet in, as soon as they enter they start having trouble breathing but they can breathe just enough to keep going as they follow Volkner's silhouette.

(Once inside the fog, nobody, not even Pent in his fancy goggles, will be able to see anything but silhouettes past a few inches. Volkner's silhouette swivels his head as he checks to ensure everyone is coming with him.)
Volkner: Alright, just go straight forward and we should enter Sunyshore. Let's hope the Glitch hasn't changed up the path.

-Pent shrugs and lifts his gasmask slightly to speak-
If anyone has a mon with Defog... Long shot but better than nothing.
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.Glitch Fog
-carefully, as though afraid they'll trip over something invisible, Joe and Munn proceed behind Volkner-
Another green world.[REDACTED]
-Cid leans back in his chair as the wall of monitors shows the crisis in Sunyshore. He leans in to his mic.-
Cid: Remember, do NOT expose yourself unless you are absolutely certain you can acquire, confine, and retreat with the subject without being seen. We want NO interference.
-One of the monitors' image bobs along with the sound of an exasperated sigh. A Medicham's hand enters view with a thumbs up.-
Cid: And "being seen" also includes "picking a fight with anyone who looks tough". I don't want a repeat of the Meteor Falls incident.
-The hand comes back with a far less flattering gesture.-
Siobhan: "Try it?"
Zhi Shen Lung: ~I shall.~
-Zhi Shen Lung uses Defog, in hopes of it working.-
All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.Sunyshore Glitch Fog
Daydre hangs back a bit and spots Pent getting out his CU goggles. She contemplates putting on her own, but figures she can put them on later if the fog really is that bad.
.. Which indeed it is. Daydre puts her glasses on, but they don't seem to help at all.
<Defog?>
Daydre jumps at Star's sudden voice coming from behind her. Somehow the Staraptor made it here very quietly.
"I thought you left.."
<Whatever's over here seems much more interesting than whatever I could be doing.>
"..."

Phaz: ...Welp, this looks very dense. Let's go.
Cynthia: -whimpers-
Phaz: You don't like that fog or what?
Cynthia: ~Oh so not much.~
Phaz: Well don't worry, i'm here.
-While passing through the fog, Phaz starts breathing with more difficulty.-
Phaz: -mumbling- Urgh... Can't see... -to one of the silhouettes in the fog- Hey, we should probably have a rope linking us not to lost anyone...
-Phaz then gets grabbed.-
Phaz: What's up Cynthia? Can't see a thing, huh?
Cynthia: ~Let me back in the ball. Now.~
Phaz: What?
Cynthia: ~letmebackletmebackLETMEBACK!~
Phaz: Okay, okay! -Cynthia gets back in the ball. Phaz releases Volta!-
Volta: <Yes. Freedom! Wait, why can't i see?>
Phaz: Glitch fog.
Volta: <Oh. Great...>

Gonna go ahead and start this already. Don't worry, Bitters, I'm starting slow and will give Ama plenty time to catch up.

Volkner: Well, if that's everyone...
(He stops, as if unsure what to say to get things moving, then turns and slowly trudges in the direction of the foggy barrier.)
