Wilhelm: Well said.
(After a brief period of punching in security clearance codes and swiping key-cards in slots, the warehouse doors grind open to reveal the prisoners. Hephaestus, Quirinus and Catha all stay quiet, but Wilhelm grins cheerfully.)
Wilhelm: Hello again to our guests of honour! How's life been treating you?

Wilhelm: Lovely to meet you too, Kearney.
(He turns to the door and yells:)
Wilhelm: Grunts!
(At this, three grunts - two Magma, one Illusion - come forward, carrying... coloured beanbags? These beanbags are placed at the feet of the captives, while Wilhelm teleports one of his own into the room with a casual wave of his hand and sinks into it.)
Wilhelm: Now, who's up for some healthy conversation?

Elagabalus: <Like I said, the name's Elagabalus. Been passed down the wealthy al-Gala family of [Egypt] for generations now - I'm basically a livin' family heirloom. There's this big thing 'bout how gettin' me is supposed to be the moment the designated family heir reaches adulthood, but to tell ya the truth I don't get out much no more. S'pose I'm just too old...>
(The aimless wandering through Pokeball Storage continues.)

Wilhelm: Yes, indeed! First off, do any of you have any pressing questions you wish to ask?
(Over in the corner, Arahat pays the humans no heed. Apparently something on his screens is far more intriguing.)

Your Aggron suggested that you planned on killing us after getting information about the J-Team. Is that so?

Wilhelm: (to Maria) I shall decide that at some point in the future. Rest assured that you will not be here forever.

Wilhelm: (to Lane) Oh, trust me, the J-Team won't hear of this. How do you know they've even noticed your disappearance?
(to Samantha) What use could I possibly have for your corpses? A live individual is far more valuable...

-Dune and Deziree peak into Ludmilla's room from the doorway. The Bounsweet and Pichu - now confirmed as Anastasia and Hermes - are curled up with her on her pillow.-
Dune: Heh... More Pokemon than I had at her age.
Deziree: Well, yeah, but I was worth the wait, wasn't I?
Dune: Y'know? Maybe you were.
-The two kiss and the big pink lump in the corner waves a tired hand.-
Doomsday: <Oh, go get a room before I spew.>
-Dune just smiles before closing the door and scooping his wife up into a good old fashioned bridal carry.-

Lilycove City, the Phazya Family House [Evening]
Everyone is around the small living room table, enjoying some snacks of different origins. Phaz is discussing with Amélie and his mom, while the different mons are playing Super Bash Sisters on the TV.
Phaz: ... Say, it's been like... ten months I went out to Sinnoh, but I really think it was awesome. I'll probably go to Alola next. They made some improvements in the Pokemon Challenge tourism division i've been hearing. Also i really want to see what Pokemon they got.
Amélie: Oh, really? I guess it'll be like a new trend or something. How will you go there, though?
Phaz: Well... I've gained and lost some money while fighting, you know. It's no big deal, but with my previous economies i can stay about five-six months over there. So... yeah.
Phaz's Mom: Oh, that makes me think about one thing. You know i've been working on some clothes?
Amélie: Yeah, what about it?
Phaz's Mom: Well, i got the pleasure to annouce you that I'll be selling some of my brand in Kalosian and Alolan stores! Apparently at the last convention some compagnies saw what I did and they sent me contracts to sell some of my brand in their stores!
Phaz: Wow, that's great!
Amélie: Yeah! That means recognition for you!
Phaz's Mom: Yeah...
Some times pass...
Phaz: ...And they she says: "Cheer up emo kid! You'll be able to use cut outside of battle now!"
Round of laugher
Phaz: Ahah... yeah...
Amélie: Oh, that makes me remember. Mom, remember about my Eterna designs?
Phaz's Mom: Yeah?
Amélie: Well, i've been hearing this about...
-Phaz listen absently to the conversation, then stands up-
Phaz: Yeah, sorry to distract you, i just need some fresh air.
he goes outside
and sees Sergei, as a Fairy. Again.
Phaz: -To Sergei- Hey, Sergei, how's going? What are you doing here in Hoenn? And why you're a fairy again, seriously?

Sergey looked to Phaz, waving before fluttering to him
Fairy!Sergey: "Ehehe... I don't know fully to be honest" ;^_^
He fluttered around Phaz
Fairy!Sergey: "But hey, at least no dress this time... so that's a plus"
He chuckled as he landed on Phaz shoulder
Fairy!Sergey: "I think that I need to grant Christmas wishes to get back to human form though."

Maggie: Ngh...
-She turns and notices SleepyHead, with Contractor's Key in hand, about to open a blue door-
Maggie: "Going to another dungeon?"
SleepyHead: ~Er... just getting away from the noise.~
Maggie: ...Wait, isn't your problem that you're getting away from problems like this?
SleepyHead: ~More that I'm resenting my team too much for things like this, but still... doesn't mean it doesn't still drive me nuts when things like this happen.
Besides, I'm not the only one going.~
-She gestures behind her back, where it turns out Tide is standing-
-The Prinplup gives a wave-
Maggie: "Well, fair enough on both your ends..."
-SleepyHead nods and she opens the door, Tide following through-
-As they do so, Maggie looks back at the argument and then the door-
Maggie: ...Eh, they usually work it out.
"Hold up!"
-She heads through the door through, right before it's about to close-
