Sol: Standard "new" region proceedings, eh? It's all good. Though, a while back there were some downright weird things going on around here. Heh....
The Inceneroar pokes Tagg with the end of his umbrella, he seems curious.

I heard a little about that. And I wanted to get my rematch against Professor Kukui in to-

Huh?

Sol: Oh! I should probably introduce you two. I decided when I came here to study that my first Pokemon of the region I'd adopt from a sanctuary rather than receive or catch. This here is Vladimir, he's a senior Incineroar that was found roaming around Heahea rummaging through garbage before being donated to the sanctuary. He's a friendly, gentle old soul. As for the Umbrella, I don't know. he was found with it and wont let it go unless he's eating. It must be a comfort object for him.
You can pet him, he likes being pet!
Vladimir snorts and nods.

Hibiki: <Nice to meet you!>
Alana makes a (._.) face.
"Uh.. nice to meet you.. I don't think I've ever had a Honchkrow talk to me before."
".. Graveyard?.. That's probably Tsubasa."

-While petting Vladimir-
You're not talking, are you like my Blastoise Kamella? She doesn't talk either. Oh right, speaking of new mons...
Tyto: -Stares-
Muddy: <Isn't he cute?>
Tyto: <I am not "cute", I am a fearsome hunter of the night!>
Doc: <...One that bit off a bit more than he could chew.>

Vladimir purrs as he's being pet by Tagg, before writing something in the dirt with the tip of the umbrella
Vladimir: [I Prefer Not To. If You Don't Mind.]
Meanwhile, Sol goes over to pet Tyto.
Sol: Well, ain't this little whelp just adorable? But one day he's gonna be a big fearsome Decidueye - hunter of the night.
Orcus: -Fluffs Up- <The biggest and most fearsome!>

Joseph: Well, first I sold my hair color to one. And then I ended up in Faerie once when I had to go through a bunch of stories. It happens!
The Wanderer
-To Vladimir-
I see.
Tyto: <Yeah, that's right!>
-To Sol-
Speaking of Kukui, I still have to meet with him, and Kahuna Hala. Have you seen any of the others yet, I know they got here while Maggie and I were busy with the Otherworlds.

Shaun sat back, his stomach full and his mind content. He liked how he had to literally fight for his food. It awakened something primal on him. Lily, the waitress who had explained the process to him, walked up.
Lily: "How was your meal sir? You look pleasantly full!"
Shaun: "It was wonderful! Best cheese pizza and ice cream I've ever had."
Lily smiled. "That's great!" She reached into her bag and pulled out a HP Up. "Here you go! Free of charge!"
Shaun took the bottle. "Really? Thanks!"
Lily: "No problem, sir! Have a nice evening!"
Shaun rose from the table. "You too." He gave her 100 Pokedollars as a tip.
Shain was walking back to his hotel with Jessica in his arms. She seemed content and excited at her new surroundings. Suddenly she perked up.
Jessica: <Hey, what's up with that Vulpix?>
Shaum looked in the same direction as Jessica. Sure enough, he saw a white Vulpix with a white-haired boy and a tall blond-haired boy.
Shaun: "That is strange. It isn't a Shiny. I've heard that there are strange Pokemon in Alola. Shall we introduce ourselves?"
Jessica: <Yeah! Maybe I'll make some new friends!>
Shaun: "Alright then."
-Shaun begins to walk over to the two boys and the Vulpix.-

Sol shakes her head
Sol: Can't say I have, to be honest. I've been busy as of late, just got off from a private meeting of sorts with an acquaintance.

Sol: Yeah, guy contacted me not long after I touched down in Akala. Interpol type, joined the force around 6 years ago. Heard about me and the J-team through the Grepavine and wanted to know a few things in exchange for what he knew.
Vladimir growl as he plods back towards Sol, resting his head underneath her palm.
Sol: Specifically about that pesky little flare issue that has yet to truly be resolved.

(Isbrand, hearing new voices, glances over at Shaun and Jessica.)
(It's worth noting that Isbrand has never seen a non-Alolan Vulpix before.)
Isbrand: <Egads!>
(Leaping out of Joseph's arms in a flash, she stares hard at the bizarre red version of herself.)
Isbrand: <Egads and double egads! Such a strange variant of my own kind has never before graced this adventurer's eyes!>
(Alex just looks marginally uncomfortable at the arrival of a third human.)

-Mood lowers somewhat-
Oh, one of them huh? You think Neo-Flare has an Alolan presence?

Solana shakes her head.
Solana: From what I've been told, there's no signs of those parasites around here yet. Though, scraps of what was salvaged from the base in Hoenn are eerily similar to some bits of Aether technology - despite completely different makes and makers. So they might have some interest in the Foundation and their knowledge.
Orcus: <Not to mention documentation on [Fallers]...>
Solana: Though, said acquaintance his interest in Neo Flare is rather petty and personal. That he has some sort of past and a whole lot of beef with "Blondie".

-To Sol-
That makes three of us then.
-To Orcus-
Fallers?

Orcus bounces up and down
Orcus: <Fallers! Fallers! People who have been pulled from one dimension to the another! They have a [Unique Energy] about them that draws [all sorts of weirdness] towards them! Probably nearly all of the J-team would qualify as one by now!
Solana: Hence a closer Interpol eye on the J-team over the last few years. They have the biggest info resource on Fallers, followed by Aether.

-To Sol and Orcus-
I see.
-Pensive-
So that weird energy, could it be the result of all that multiversal travel we did back in 2012? No, I didn't feel the energy from the others who messed with the Shards, not even my sister or Team Nova, only us and Tracer's group. I suspect that thing we fought had something to do with it. I guess that means I must be one of these "Fallers" too.
I guess I'll try visiting the Aether Paradise at least once.

Sol looks at Kukui's beach lab, and blinks. Taking a pause before slapping her forehead and muttering "no doy..."
Vladimir pets her on the shoulders for solace.

Sorry, fell asleep
Sholto: "Well, now you have and hopefully the experience has enriched your life!"
"But, yeah, meeting Tsubasa might be cool, if she's up for it. Hibiki said she doesn't get out much, apparently."

"Oh, might as well, let the person I presume is your trainer hear. I'm Sholto, and these are Lisa, Ghostus, and Clean Bandit."
-The Talonflame, Haunter, and Rattata all give some sort of greeting, the former two rather half-heartedly-
