ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Glitch Sunyshore

Joseph: ...ominous.

-he draws closer to the fireplace, extending a hand to test the warmth. He withdraws his hand after a moment, staring at it quizzically-

???

-Samantha hisses, covering her eyes-

Samantha: Bastard...

-Ashen is looking around the room-

Ashen: ~Why do I get the feeling that that picture - because it's the only normal thing in the house - is somehow plot significant?~

-Siobhan is currently being confused by having apparently stepped into an Escher painting.-

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Sunyshore Glitcity, MC Escher House

Phaz: ... I think there might be a problem.

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't gold

Escher House, Glitched Sunyshore

(The painting does not move, or display any strange behaviour at all. Beyond depicting a rather grim scene, it seems harmless.)

(As Volkner lifts the rug to check for strangeness, finding nothing in the process, those with sharp hearing may hear muffled banging noises start to waft from somewhere up the seemingly endless staircase.)

Tastes better on the way back down.

Escher House, Sunyshore

-Munn, as it happens, has very keen hearing-

Munn: Hmm?

Joseph: What?

-Munn gestures up the stairs-

Joseph: ...um?

-he looks at the rest of the group-

A Wrong House, Sunyshore Unsettled

-Pent takes a quick glance at the assorted physical anomolies, the cyrogenic flames and the ominous early Humanism symbology and rubs his forehead-
Tryhard
A bit, yeah... Alright, don't split up, if you've got something that can mark a surface use it and don't try and touch the source of sounds especially if they seem to be someone sitting on the floor of a room.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Fortis: Oh my gosh! I think something's happening downstairs! Get off the ceiling and let's go check!

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

Sunyshore, Glitch Fog, House

After a while Sergey stopped as he saw nothing inconspicious. He stepped back, looking at the rest of the room again... not without looking back at the picture every once in a while... just to be safe.

Sergey: "Hm... do you have an idea?"

Mireille: ~Currently not, still thinking, don't worry though.~

Sergey looked to the rug as Volkner lifted it. As nothing happened he stpped closer to the fireplace to see how cold it would get... only uncomforale or straight up dangerous... still looking at the picture every now and then though.

Hearthome

Alyesha gave a thumps up

Alyesha: "Good luck with that then, I'm not really the gambler type but if ou want I can try... without money though."

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

???

(Slowly, the blast doors slide open, revealing a frontline of five figures backed up by a small gaggle of silver-suited grunts. Of the five, three of them include the silver-suited man who took Lane, the masked man in red who took Sam and Maria, and a Delphox wearing a mask very similar to that of Hephaestus, except his is grinning psychotically rather than grimacing. Wilhelm gestures triumphantly to the other two figures present.)

Wilhelm: See? Didn't I tell you we could capture them without a hitch? And as you can see in the back, Arahat is already in position to watch over them!

Tastes better on the way back down.

-Ashen has quite good hearing. Comes with the job.-

Ashen: ~Anybody else hear that? Up the stairs?~

-Scheherezade and Shahryar are playing Overwatch.-

Scheherzade: "Revenge is cold and swift."

Shahryar: ~Hm?~

Scheherezade: "I stuck that pulse bomb."

Shahryar: ~... Mistakes were made.~

-Kerplow.-

-Triple Kill!-

Lane:Ngh!

-Lane shields his eyes-

Maria:Y-You!

???

-Samantha glowers at those gathered. One of those standing out from the group, an extremely tall and thin woman in a blue dress, nods. Another, a blond woman in a silver suit and an eyepatch, smiles to herself-

???

(Wilhelm grins at Maria.)

Wilhelm: Ah-ha! At least you recognise me!

(A low metallic grinding sound starts up from behind the hostages.)

Tastes better on the way back down.

???

Maria:W..Where...are we...?

Lane:Where's my Flareon, Whilhem?

-Lane's ears perk up and he turns toward the sound-

Sunyshore Glitch House

Daydre just so happens to always carry permanent markers on her person.

Usually she'd be worried about marking up someone's house, but considering the circumstances she preferred vandalism over the alternatives. She takes the marker and draws a big black X on the wall.

off the shits

???

-the tall woman speaks-

Alys: Well done, Wilhelm. Remind me again what you need them for?

-Kirsten turns to grin at Wilhelm-

Kirsten: Still haven't changed your mind?

???

Quirinus: ~I echo Crazy Eyes here. Kill the buggers and get it over with.~

Wilhelm: For the last time, no.

(He turns to Alys.)

Wilhelm: A client with considerable funds on hand will give our organization a pretty penny for these three. Just don't let slip that they are still alive, or we lose that funding.

(The grinding is being made by the mound in the corner, which is shifting loudly. Well, okay, it's quite obvious by now that it is no mere mound. Mounds don't have eyes the size of an entire human, for one thing.)

Tastes better on the way back down.

???

-Maria squeaks-

Maria:Lane is that...

Lane:I...that's a big Pokemon...I think...

Hearthome City

As EJ carefully walks through the city- looking out for bird pokemon, now, he turns to Babochka, who is, as ever, fluttering beside him.

"Hey, I know you can't talk, but I'm still thinking about what that monster said... What's the Vow? Is that why Filbert and Wingtip never listened?"

Babochka tilts her head, but slowly nods mournfully.

"...So why are you still around?"

Babochka's only response is a warm hug from stubby arms.

"Heh... thanks, I guess."

Wakka-wakka-wakka-wakka~

???

-Kirsten looks to Quirinus, raising her eyepatch and showing off the glowing device underneath-

Kirsten: That's Crazy Eye to you, Patches.

-Samantha turns her head around to the massive Pokemon behind her, eyes wide-

Alys: Settle down. You've seen an Aggron before, haven't you?

Mitch: "Yknow, if you want anything like jewelry or something, feel free to hit me up, you seem like a nice person."

Vulcan: -Snickers-

-Mitch may or may not be around EJ-

Must Eat All Life Forms!

???

Wilhelm: (to Lane) Anyway, your Pokeballs have been moved to a secure storage facility. I know, it must hurt to be separated from your lifelong companions, but we can't simply let our guests of honour waltz around with deadly living weapons on hand.

(Now that it's unfurling, it is clear that the "mound" is indeed an Aggron, mind-bogglingly immense even by the standards of his species. Once he's standing upright, which brings the horns on his head very nearly into contact with the slatted warehouse ceiling, Arahat peers blearily down at the humans.)

Arahat: <...I take it the prisoners have arrived?>

Volta: -to Fortis- <Hey, you're the one who's upside-down mate.>

Phaz: I heard that too... Let's see what's all about.

-he moves to the stairs, and, if nothing is wrong, will stop at the first floor.-

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't gold

Fortis: Nuh uh! If I was upside down my skirt would be flipped up and everyone could see my underwear!

-Fortis' skirt is thankfully not flipped up, and indeed is acting as if down is toward the ceiling on which she is standing-

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

-Ashen cocks her head to the side, looking at Fortis.-

Ashen: ~You could make the same argument with my coat.~
