ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Hau'oli Hotel

-Welp, with Pent now transitioned from gaming to listening to songs and Susan just casually relaxing and watching some TV it seems like today's just gonna be-

~Knock knock~

... Don't answer it. Or if you must do not invite it in.

-Susan sighs and steps over to the door and opens it a peek, leaving the little hotel door chain hooked in. She needs to take a moment to notice the nondescript person standing carrying a parcel of some type-

Susan: Hello, who are you?

Frank Daims: -Holding up an employee nametag in a leather and plastic sleeve- Frank Daims, bellboy.

-Oh, of course. Susan hadn’t noticed the red waistcoat, matching stout hat and many gold flourishes but now it was painfully obvious-

Frank Daims: And someone left a package in the lobby for this room. I'll just leave it here for you to collect if that's alright?

Susan: Sure, thank you.

-And just as soon as he arrived, the bellboy departed down the hall, too fast for Susan to question. With just a moment or two to clear her head she deftly gets the package inside and closes the door-

Susan: It was mail I guess?

-Pent's too engrossed in the music to respond. Susan sighs and places it on the table. It's really more two deliveries, one a reasonably box-shaped thing in brown paper and the other a purple envelope of some kind-

Melemele

Azure: "They did not. I'm sure of that at least."

".. You seem kind of familiar.. And not in like, the I've seen you before but can't remember way but the I know exactly what you are but can't think of the term right now kind of way. Or something."

Azure: "What"

"... I don't know."

Hau'oli City

-Looking at the resulting destruction-

This is getting dangerous, I need to end this quickly, or it won't be just one of us getting hurt.

-Looking at the five lights, and getting an inkling of what Shadar might be planning-

I think my lessons might've actually mentioned this thing before. Tiamat. Not to be confused with the Babylonian dragon, but still a god. Shame the D&D verses generally aren't under my jurisdiction. But you know, since she's probably similar to the Aedric dragons of Nirn, being a god and all...

-Takes a deep breath and yells-

JOOR ZAH FRUL!!!

-Whether the Dragonrend actually works or not, the Elemental Sword glows blue with divine power as the Wanderer charges Shadar, closing the distance between them in less than a blink of an eye, its form shifting into a rapier as he stabs at Shadar about what appears to be hundreds of times-

Rapid Tempo!!!

-This is followed up by the Wanderer shifting the Elemental Sword into a hammer in order to knock Shadar farther along the beach, away from the city proper-

Melemele

-Custard scratches her head-

Custard: I dunno. I just hope this isn't permanent.

Human!Scouter: "Would a trojan horse be too obvious?!"

-A Snover appears from behind someone-

Snover!Glöckchen: <Naughty children who refuse to heed the universe's call to not swear will find themselves visited by an extradimensional conqueror.>

-She rings her bell-

Hau'oli City

Shadar: -The Dragonrend bathes over him and is immediately parrying and blocking the absurdly fast series of jabs, raising his sword to block the hammer, but skidding back towards the beach-

-He rears back slashing several times within the span of a moment, several waves of darkness soaring towards the Wanderer as the green and black lights float forward, spewing forth a cloud of poison and a stream of acid-

-Shadar thrusts out his hand as around The Wanderer several black chains materialize, having but a moment to burn and sap vitality-

Snover!Icecap: -to Glockchen- <That's not very nice, darling.>

Mezzo: Yeah, really. Besides, I can totally kill a multiversal conqueror.

Felis: -squirms in Fortis' grip- <Stop talking and help me you idiot!>

Fortis: Kitty kitty kitty, she's so soft and pretty~

Melemele

"Don't worry, this happened to Mr. Bitey last year! and he turned back just fine."

Daydre lets out Mr. Bitey to demonstrate. What comes out is not a Mawile, but a teenage-y looking boy with sunglasses, Mawilish clothing, and a ponytail. And a mouth on the back of his head, it seems.

"... Uhm. He's usually a Mawile. I should've expected this..."

Mr. Bitey: "Well this is an improvement over last year! But I'm weirdly hungry."

Azure: "... Uh."

Melemele Island

Custard: ...I guess this is a common problem for your team, then.

Hau'oli City

-let's check in on the shenanigans of my characters on this April Fools Day, shall we?-

Munn: ...good night.

-Munn is currently a disembodied head laying in a pool of rainbow paint, sticky and vaguely sweet-smelling like a melted popsicle-

Joseph: ...yes.

-his lips remain parted as he breathes in and out, shallowly, watching Munn slowly, slowly melt. He watches for as long as he can, before he finds his vision suddenly gone black. Curious, but not alarmed, he reaches up to tap his eyes-

-tnk tnk-

-his eyes have hardened into a smooth, cool black surface, like a television screen. His eyes stare blankly into nothing, two black mirrors-

-he blinks, and programming starts-

???: This is Channel 12, here to deliver the latest in the weather, traffic, and news...

-Glöckchen says nothing in response to the charge, just rings her bell-

Melemele

Mr. Bitey is now gnawing on a miscellaneous branch.

".... It's noooottttttt..." Daydre puts her hands on her face.

Azure just shrugs.

Hau'oli City

The Wanderer: Truly, this guy is pretty tough, but so am I!

-And he parries Shadar's strikes with slashes wreathed in orange energy the color of the setting sun, as a windstorm blows the poison away, and gives him some space from Shadar-

The poison wouldn't have worked on me anyway, but it might've hurt others.

-The acid on the other hand, does manage to connect, right in the face-

Argh!

-A quick slash of the Elemental Sword cuts the chain before they can get closer, his senses heightened enough to know where to cut even while temporarily blinded-

Man, I hate when this crap happens.

-Of course, at that moment his healing factor kicks in, and it's as if it hadn't happened. Even where the acid managed to splash on his clothes are magically fixed-

Okay, not letting myself get hit by that crap again.

-Icicles from the rainstorm, cloaked in the same orange energy start falling at Shadar, as sand formed into sandstone spears cloaked in the same are fired horizontally-

Heahea City, Sergey's Camp

Loran: <What's a Trojan horse?>

Hau'oli

Shadar: -He waves his hand as the dragon goddess' flames melt the ice and the whirlwind of shadow tears apart the sand- "..."

-He twirls and sheathes his sword as the maelstrom of darkness disperses- "Interesting. I believe that is a sufficient demonstration. I would rather not escalate this further. Were I to pull out the true power of Blackheart or invoke Asmodeus, Bahamut, Kord, Corellon, or Moradin, you would rise to the challenge. We would arrive at our answer of who would win, but we would sacrifice a large portion of this world in that pursuit. I have no desire to damage this reality."

"... The only other man to have lasted so long against me in single combat is still out there. Your abilities remind me of his. Though the conviction behind your strikes is supported by righteousness, whereas his were fueled by self interest."

-His armor vanishes, and his sword vanishes- "I believe this is a question that need not be answered until later. Though, if you crave a good fight as much as I do, go ahead, strike again. I have never had a chance to fight all out before. All my battles were either resolved or we both stood down before we got that far."

Hau'oli City

The Wanderer: You'd be correct about that, had we continued.

-Dispels the Elemental Sword-

I think we'll just call this one a draw, Shadar. Perhaps we'll fight again, but hopefully as friends rather than enemies. You're definitely now in my top 10 hardest fights.

Brooklet Hill

Did the area just get... wider or something?

-Indeed, the tide pool is now about the size of a large bay-

Legion: -Has returned to regular size, and is using Aqua Ring to move around on land- <Not sure what's up with that.>

That battle I felt, it was like watching two titans clash, and neither of them were using their full power.

IGNORE THIS

Hau'oli

Shadar: "Ideally. Should I survive my quest, I think I'd like a chance to help out other worlds."

-He shakes himself out- "Aside from Godriet, that was quite possibly the single most grueling battle I've ever fought. There are a few close seconds, but those were never one-on-one fights."

"I think I'll see a little more of this world before I need to leave it. Until then, guardian." -He bows his head, turning to leave-

Hau'oli

-An orange-haired man in a red coat and with black tentacles sprouting from his shoulders approaches The Wanderer-

Steve: Nice fight there!

Human!Scouter: "Er, it's a statue that one group of people gifted the others under the guise of a peace offering after battling, but in reality they hid inside it, ready to ambush when they fell asleep, I believe."

Tsunami bent over, panting from running so far. As she catches her breath, she feels as though she is being watched.

Okay..no. More. Running.

Tsunami: <Alright, little girl, come on out!>

A giggle echoes out from...

All around her?

Jessica: <If you say so...>

A circle of Jessicas step out into the open.

Jessicas: <You didn't think I'd make it that easy, did you?>

-They start advancing on Tsunami.-

I'll finish this tommorow, gonna sleep now.

Heahea City, Sergey's Camp

Loran: <Wooooow, but can we all hide in it? It sounds like fun~>

Hau'oli City

-To Shadar-

See you around.

-Noticing Steve-

The Wanderer: Another foreigner to this realm?

Pikachu: <There you are, finally! All I had to do was follow the trail of utter destruction.>

-The Pikachu then clambers up on top of his shoulder-

<Who's this guy?>

The Wanderer: -To Pikachu- I'm about to find out.

Brooklet Hill

-We are brought to the final tide pool-

Wait a sec...

Pici: -Now a Trumbeak- <Is that... the Earth?>

-Indeed the Earth is in the sky-

This makes like no sense.

-We decide to keep moving-

Human!Scouter: "Maybe it would be! The gist I meant, however, is pretending to surrender and using that to get your opponent while they're down. Not the most sporting of options, certainly!"

Sholto: "Bye, Shadar! Good luck saving your own world and try not to destroy too many more, please!"

Steve: -Extends a hand as a tentacle wiggles- Stevgonzrak the Unthinkable Horror, or Steve for short! I'm the guardian of the Pearl Realm!
