-She pulls out the vials Alonya gave her.-
Natalie: "Samples of a plant infecting the Hau'oli pokemon center. Has hallucinogenic properties at the least, apparently."

I don't know what's with Phaz.
He's always keeping his coolness, never ever bursting out.
Yet...
...I see this determination in his eyes.
A determination he only had once before, when he heard about Cynthia in this basement.
Phaz: Any reasons you're floating in my face, Ashley?
Ashley: <Whoops, sorry. I was not paying attention.>
Phaz: Oh, okay.
Oasis: <Hey! Am I still relevant?>
Phaz: ...No. Where were you?
Oasis: <Oh, just chilling out in the forest. Someone invited me for dinner. How did it go?>
Phaz: Spinme was the criminal, she's heading for the Æther Outpost, we were anaesthesized. You were really helpful on this.
Oasis: <Thanks! Hmm... Who's theses two?>
Cynthia: ~Hi there.~
Ashley: <Hello. What are you?>
Oasis: <I am Oasis the Pheromosa. And you?>
Cynthia: ~I am Cynthia the Gardevoir, and here's Ashley the Chandelure. To Phaz Didn't take you long enough to replace us, huh?~
Phaz: Wait, no-
Oasis: <Yes, no. I'm here to help him. Not you.>
Cynthia: <Ahah. As if.>
Phaz: Uh, could you stop?
Cynthia: ~No! What is she doing with one of your shirts!~
Oasis: proudly <He gave it to me. Not you, apparently.>
Cynthia: ~Well, I am to his service. I have a Pokeball to prove it. Not you.~
Phaz: Hey, can we stop the catfight for a second?

-With the Earthquake, Beat goes down-
-Soujin recalls her-
Soujin: "...Given that move... Orlok!"
-He sends out the Zubat-
Orlok: <Hihi! Ready to go down?>
-He rushes at the Makuhita with a Wing Attack-
-Soujin decides it'd be best to not get involved-

Cynthia: ~I bet you only stalk him.~
Phaz: grabbing a handful of popcorn No, seriously, stop. We're in a hurry, Oasis, and we've got to stop Spinme. Can you run back to the outpost?
Oasis: <That's a thing I can do!>
Before Cynthia starts complaining, she runs in direction of the outpost.
Cynthia: ~Why? Why did you do this?~
Phaz: Listen, there is no time for catfights. She stalked me, yes but also Soujin because she's never seen humans. She wanted the shirt, and was already wearing it cause she was digging through my clothes, okay. We need now to get back to the outpost quickly, stop C.C., and bring her back to the authorities. Simple enough?
Cynthia: ~...Mmm.~
Phaz: Good. We've got to go fast now.

Buddy: <You sure this is a good idea?>
Rumba: <It'll be fiiine, killjoy.>

-As the Makuhita falls, Orlok begins to glow-
-He grows generally larger, his mouth especially, and he forms legs-
-When the light fades, he is a Golbat-
Orlok: <Oh, y->
-He is then pummeled pretty hard-
-Thankfully for him, however, he manages to hang in due to his resistance and recent evolution-
Orlok: <Wow... dunno if I was ready or not...>
-He flies over a bit clumsily and goes for another Wing Attack-

"Go, Fairyflint!"
-He throws a ball, sending out the Heatmor-
Fairyflint: <Down to me, huh?>
Soujin: "Use... Fury Swipes?"
-Fairyflint goes over to the Crabrawler and tries to rake their claws against them-

There's sounds coming from the back of the group.

-Ever's team is messing around, while Ever is off to one side, talking to Pleth-
Pleth: <So now what?>
Ever: What do you mean?
Pleth: <I mean, you're just sort of wandering around the island...if you want to take the island challenge, I can help out. I could probably take anything this island has to throw at me.>
Ever: Yeah, but...it feels wrong, you know? Like if I brought Cornelia and Brushfire, maybe, but I've already beaten the Elite Four with you on my team. It'd hardly be fair.
Pleth: <So you're just going to train until these guys are ready?>
Ever: I think so. I'd like to catch at least one more Pokemon, though. Another Ghost maybe.
Pleth: <The one you already have isn't bad enough?>
Ever: Come on, he's harmless now.
Pleth: <He's nowhere near harmless.>
-there's an awkward pause, Ever pats Pleth's shoulder-
Ever: So I'm going to wander around a bit until I've caught one last mon, and then I'll see what this island has to offer.

-Soujin is a bit mesmerized as the punches fly-
-He snaps out of it, however-
Soujin: "Oh, uh, right, thanks."

Tangent: -blinks- Oh, hey Every. How are the local ghosts?
-two humans clad in stealth suits with sun and moon masks lurk outside a window; one is holding his hand by the latch-
Sol: Almost... there, unlocked. Now you open the window while I keep the contact sensor closed.
-he moves his hand to a point on the frame-
Ton: This would be a lot easier if we could just burn the building down.
-she eases the window open and hops in-
Sol: Then we don't get paid.
-he carefully enters the window, psychically keeping the switch disabled-
Ton: What if we took out a fire insurance policy?
-she closes the window and relatches it-
Sol: We don't own this building.
-he looks both ways, then heads up the hallway towards a sign with big, friendly letters reading "For Official Use Only" and a cartoon of a manila folder wearing a uniform-
Ton: They don't, either...

-Mister Tayler nods, not even feeling bad about the whole "blew the cover on such a basic operation" thing at this point.-
Mister Tayler: A white one.
-Orlandeau's face twists with... contempt? Confusion? Maybe he just bit down on a peppercorn?-
Orlandeau: I need to talk to Director Bunansa, get his read on the situation. If the local Legendary population is in such high alert after merely one encounter, doing anything outside of plainclothes operations will be difficult.
-There's a sharp knock as the two men turn to see a certain pink haired woman.-
Aulstyne: Lucky for you Hy already told ze Doktor. He has a present on ze vay. Vun dat hyu might have heard of~
-She walks off with a strut. Tayler exhales, and Orlandeau just sighs through his teeth.-
