Hey, can you help me?
From: Vanitas
Poni Wilds
Maybe. What do you want?
Also, who are you? And why do you type in evil?
-Ever continues proceeding along the path, until he arrives at-
Ancient Poni Path
Ever: Ooh, lots of forks in the road. That one looks green, maybe there's a meadow that way.
???: <Hold it.>
-Ever and Muninn turn to see a Gumshoos-
Ever: ...The resemblance really is uncanny.
Muninn: <Yes...>
Gumshoos: <Please remain there for five minutes. My prey will be by shortly, and I don't want you startling it.>
Ever: If it's not going to be here for five minutes, wouldn't it be easier for me to move now?
Gumshoos: <I don't follow.>
Ever: ...Well, good luck.
-he proceeds forwards-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.-Ever would receive a selfie of a Kingler wearing a Crustle Shell he would probably remember as having pestered him to challenge Gyms until he challenged the Snowpoint Gym with said Kingler-
That jog your memory?
From: Vanitas
Ancient Poni Path
Yes, and if you could come by and snap my neck that'd be great.
-Ever is so engrossed in his texting that he doesn't notice that he's walking straight into someone standing at the entrance to Poni Grove-
Guard: Hey, you can't go here unless you've beaten the Island Challenge, or at least could beat it if you wanted to.
Ever: I mean, I definitely could. Can I get by?
Guard: With a Sceptile, a baby Mimikyu—
Muninn: <Hey!>
Guard: —and a novice Oricorio? Absolutely not.
Ever: I've beaten other leagues, you know.
Guard: That's what they all say. Come back when you can prove it.
Ever: Aaaaaaagh.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.I mean, I'm not much of a neck snapper myself. I'd be more comfortable with pressuring other peoplemons to snap your neck instead.
Granted, I get the feeling that'd be a lot less fulfilling than pressuring people to challenge Gyms or doing so myself, neither of which I can do here.

Alli: -to Soujin- You here for the Island Challenge?
-Mine Turtle sniffs Soujin-

Do my feelings mean nothing to you?
Ever: Hmm, maybe we can get around that guy....let's try this way.
-and he heads into-
Vast Poni Canyon
Ever: ...Whoa. Intense.
Narrow: <I don't feel so good...>
Muninn: <The canyon has magnetic properties. You should probably recall the bird.>
-Ever does so-
Ever: Come on, it can't be too far...
???: <Hold it!>
Ever: Oh Zekrom, not another one.
-however, looking around, he can't find another Gumshoos-
???: <Down here!>
-Ever looks down-
-and finds a small, quadrupedal lizard blocking his way-
???: <Don't take another step!>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.-Soujin is sniffed by the Turtonator-
Soujin: -to Mine Turtle- "Curious, huh?"
-to Alli- "Yeah, hoping to make some memories that way."
Fine, if it'll make you happy.
From: Vanitas
-A sound would come from somewhere, most likely Ever's Phone-
Vanitas: < Snaaaaaap his neeeeeeeeeck! >

-This time, Nora is the one who goes down.-
Nora: <Oww...>
Rose: You did what you needed to. Domino, we've got this!
Domino: <All right. So what's the plan?>
Rose: If we finish off the Totem, the rest will be a lot easier. Hit it with an Aerial Ace!
Domino: <Right, got it.>
-He sweeps forward toward the Gumshoos, doing a similar upward-then-downward attack that he did before.-
-Gus, meanwhile, is bitten, but shakes the Rattata off.-
Scarlette: Um, what she said! Attack the Gumshoos instead of the others!
Gus: <Okay!>
-He gets away from the Rattata to Bite the Gumshoos as well-
Hau'oli City
Alli: Sounds nice!
Locke: Good luck. I've already made more memories than expected, to say the least.

Sergey nodded, quickly drinking the rest of his cocoa and then waiting for Shaun to do so as well, after that he'd go to Nurse Joy.
Sergey: "Hello."
Nurse Joy: "Hello there, how may I help you?"
Sergey: "We would both like to apply some Pokémon for a private riding license."
He showed Mistral

Ever: ...What.
Jangmo-o: <...What.>
-pause-
Jangmo-o: <Anyway, you can't come this way. There's a Trial there.>
Ever: A what?
Jangmo-o: <The Kommo-o in charge of the canyon challenges the people who come to face them.>
Ever: So I'm just going to pretend that I understand you, and ask if you work for this trial.
Jangmo-o: <I applied! But they wouldn't take me...because they said I wasn't smart enough.>
Muninn: <Imagine that.>
Ever: Be nice.
-he turns to the Jangmo-o-
Ever: So what are you doing...?
Jangmo-o: <Keeping you out of the trial area.>
Ever: ...Why?
-pause-
Jangmo-o: <It makes me feel important...>
Muninn: <And yet.>
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.-With the attacks, the Gumshoos goes down-
Yungoos: <...Looks like it's down to us, then.>
Rattata: <Don't think you've won yet!>
-He launches a Quick Attack at Gus-
Yungoos: <Guess I'll do this, then.>
-She jumps at Gus with a Bite-
Soujin: -to Locke- "I... feel like that'd be a good thing, but you're saying it like it might not be."
-as he is nuzzled by Mine Turtle- "You're pretty affectionate, huh?"
Vanitas: < I understand your feelings, dear dragon. >

-Being ganged up on does some significant damage to Gus, but he hangs in there.-
Gus: <Ow!>
Scarlette: Focus on the Yungoos this time!
-Gus Bites the Yungoos.-
Rose: Domino, get the Rattata off of Gus with Fury Attack!
-Domino flies over to the Rattata and starts rapidly pecking it to get it to back off of Gus.-

Locke: ...Er, ups and downs, definitely.
-suddenly Mine Turtle bites down on Soujin as if to make a meal out of him-

Contact Me!-And with the two attacks, the Yungoos and Rattata go down-
Raticate: <Ngh... have to give it to you... you did well.>
Gumshoos: <Yeah, go... take the crystals from the pedestal.>
-The two gesture at the pedestal weakly-
Soujin: "Hm, well, hopefully my experience is more u-"
-His hand is bitten down on-
"Augh! Hey!"
"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also EveryVerdant Cavern — Past
Scarlette: Phew... we did it.
Rose: Heck yeah we did.
-Oddly, Scarlette doesn't immediately go to the pedestal. Rose, however, does, then looks back at her.-
Rose: Oh, right, the, er, Gumshoos said we could claim these. Here, I'll get it for you while I'm over here.
-She takes the two crystals, then walks back toward Scarlette and slips one into her hand.-
Rose: There you go! One trial out of the way!
Scarlette: Uh-huh...
Rose: ...You, uh, okay?
Scarlette: Huh? O-oh, yeah, I'm fine! Don't worry. Th-thank you, for, uh, getting the crystal. For me. Right...
-Rose smiles-
Rose: C'mon, it's been a long bunch of battles. Let's get some rest.
-They head out of the cave together.-
There's no need to apologize. ;)
Shaun summoned Tsunami and Ace from their Poke Balls and presented them to Nurse Joy. "I'll need one for flying and one for aquatic travel.
"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"Hau'oli City
Alli: Hey! Don't do that!
-she takes the baby Turtonator back-
What's gotten into you, girl? You just hatched!

After a bit of checking Nurse Joy handed both of them the licenses for their respective Pokémon.
Nurse Joy: "There you go, please remember that these are only for those Pokémon, if you want to ride another of your Pokémon you have to apply for another license. Regardless, have a nice day." :)
"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"Shaun: "You too."
He returned his Pokemon to their Poke Balls. "Well, we should get some sleep. I think tommorow I'll head back to Hau'oli City. I need to buy a new phone."
"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"-Soujin looks at the hand Mine Turtle left after she let go-
Soujin: "I dunno... hopefully it doesn't become a thing for them."

Sergey nodded, following after Shaun
Sergey: "That seems good, I will likely stay here for a while longer, if you search me: My camp is near Route 1, its hard to miss" :) "Goodbye for now though."

Ever: Nope, not here.
-some Exeggcute bounce past-
Ever: Aww, Exeggcute. It's been forever since I saw those.
Muninn: <It's the Exeggutor you have to watch out for.>
Ever: Really? Why's— ow!
-this exclamation owes itself to the fact that Ever just ran into a palm tree-
Ever: When did this get here?
Muninn: <I suggest you look up.>
-he does...-
Ever: ....What.
Exeggutor: -walks by without even noticing Ever-
Ever: ...They grow really big here.
Muninn: <Actually, they just grow small everywhere else.>
-as the Exeggutor passes, the head on its tail blows a raspberry at Ever-
Muninn: <They are Dragon-types, incidentally.>
Ever: ...What.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
