Brooklet Hill, past

Jelly Belly: {Yes! Very special! When I found them they were in front of a bunch of other humans doing something clearly important! All the other humans were paing attention!}

Brooklet Hill, past

Oscillot: {Hm... that does sound important. Not sure how useful it'd be for those of us who can't understand them, though.}

{Not to mention if they're trying to escape.}

Brooklet Hill

Jelly Belly: {But don't you see? If I can figure out from the human how they got famous, I can be an ~idol!~}

The Tick: {A solid plan!}

Brooklet Hill

Oscillot: {Well, alright. If you can find a way to understand them.}

Brooklet Hill, past

Jelly Belly: -twiddles a tentacle in thought- {Prehaps you two could help me.}

Brooklet Hill

Oscillot: {...Why? You're the one who wants to be famous.}

Brooklet Hill, past

Jelly Belly: {Well, I'm not too averse to sharing any glory, y'know?}

The Tick: {Hmmm... You could be our spokesbeast...}

Brooklet Hill, past

Oscillot: {Hm, fine, we do still need a spokesbeast. I don't want any fame myself, but I suppose for that, I can help.}

Brooklet Hill, past

-Jelly Belly floats around in circles-

Jelly Belly: {Yaaaaaay~}

-they stop-

{Oh pardon me, what are your names, if any? I'm Jelly Belly.}

The Tick: {I'm The Tick!}

Brooklet Hill, yesterday

Oscillot: {Oscillot.}

Brooklet Hill

Jelly Belly: {Excellent!}

-looks around- {Now where should we head?}

Oscillot: {Well... we're looking for a friend of ours, so if we could head off in search of them while searching for your human, that'd be nice.}

Brooklet Hill

Jelly Belly: {Works for me!}

-they and The Tick head off-

After a morning emergency call and an awful work morning without a shower or breakfast, I will be postponing Ludmilla's Brooklet Hill trial. In the meantime, have this.

Planet Krypton

-The planet was dying. And, much like the proud race of humanoids that inhabited it, it did not go quietly.-

-Tectonic eruptions were already swallowing the cities and landmass especially around the more unstable areas. Jor-El watched as his world died, just as he predicted.-

Jor-El: She will be... the last daughter of Krypton.

-Hours earlier, Jor-El stood at the trial of the ambitious General Zod and his cohorts. The threat he made still echoes in his mind.-

Zod: I WILL FIND HER!

-Jor-El held his wife in his arms as the young child left the atmosphere in her rocket, to eventually arrive at the yellow sun orbiting planet known as Earth.-

Route 6

Cu Sith: <... I don't think that's where Ludmilla came from.>

Doomsday: <Yeah, well, I don't see anyone else coming up with any ideas!>

Hermes: <Don't humans come from eggs?>

Doomsday: <NO! Okay technically yes, but not in the same way as your statement intended!>

All Over Alola

-Best Berry's hit product is flying off of store shelves!-

-All over the region everyone is buying the hot new AI assistant: Fruit Friend! Powered by the Oran OS network!-

-The J-Team may very well have its members purchase and try out these intelligent giant plastic Oran Berries-

-However, wanted posters for Sol and Ton are also spreading, and J-Teamers and others may also take notice!-

Shaun: "Of course, ma'am. Lana I presume?"

Lana: "Indeed. Follow me, please."

-She heads off further into Brooklet Hill-

Shaun: "Alright then."

-He follows her.-

Okay, ONE more post.

The GM House

Deziree: Mass produced AI?

-Deziree leers at the webpage.-

Dune: Made by... a berry harvesting company?

Deziree: Hrm... there's a strange quark in the isotope.

Dune: ... What?

Deziree: Never mind, physics joke. Anyway, the only people who sell mass produced AI are either lying or have an ulterior motive.

Dune: Wow, this is really bothering you, isn't it?

Deziree: Artificial intelligence and it's creation has RULES for a REASON! Imagine if someone cloned you and sold off your clones as slave labor!

Dune: Okay, okay, point taken.

Deziree: I'm telling you, this time my hyperreactive feminine instincts are right!

Dune: You said that about Ms. Warner at the local scrap shop and your theory she was poaching from your repair commissions.

Deziree: She wasn't poaching mine, but she was poaching scrap off of cars!

Route 6

-Ludmilla sees the wanted posters and tilts her head at them. Sol and Ton? Didn't Daddy mention someone named Sol before? No, couldn't be the same. Maybe. Hopefully.-

Royal Avenue

-Checking out a flyer-

Fruit Friend AI Assistant?

Tyto: <What's an... AI?>

Botuli: -Nomming Poké Puffs- <You don't remember, it's like what Trojan is.>

Legion: -Inside a bubble- <You, Muddy, and Helios don't look all too happy.>

Helios: -To Legion- <We've had, er, bad experiences with a lot of non-Porygon based AI. Though I guess that ZAX supercomputer wasn't all that bad.>

-Noticing the Sol and Ton wanted poster-

<Aren't those the guys from that time at PEFE HQ with the Gaim Rahm? But Polly wanted us to keep quiet about the Space Ampharos stuff so...>

Route 5

Pyukumuku: -Is still attached to Doc's back-

Doc: <Well... at least they make good sunscreen.>

Audino!Crochet: <I can't believe that I'm still stuck like this, even after April Fools ended...>

Doc: <You make a pretty Audino though...>

Crochet: -Ear twitch- <What was that?>

Doc: <Er, nothing.>

Crochet: -Eyebrow raise-

Kodama: <We should probably try to catch up with Tagg and everyone else soon, right?>

Doc: -Glad for the subject change- <Yeah, and then I guess we can see if Tagg wants to ball this guy or not.>

-To the Pyukumuku-

<You don't talk much, do you?>

Pyukumuku: <Zzz... Zzz...>

Hoenn Battle Frontier — a cafe

Greta: So, five years, huh?

-Greta, Lucy, and Kaito are all in a cafe together.-

Kaito: Yep. Five years today, I got dragged into the J-Team's crazy shenanigans.

-He pauses-

Kaito: ...Technically I was stuck in Sinnoh for a while before that because of the Twilight, but I didn't know they were the ones who dealt with it until after.

Greta: Yeah, we heard about that whole mess from the Sinnoh Brains.

Kaito: Yeah, not fun. Still, I probably wouldn't be where I am now if I hadn't gotten caught up in that. I was actually planning on heading home months earlier, so I wouldn't have met them otherwise, I don't think.

Lucy: Reminds me of us before Scott made us all Frontier Brains.

Kaito: Y'know, a couple of you mentioned that before, but I never really got a chance to hear the full story. You all were the same sort of ragtag misfits, right?

Lucy: ...I suppose you could say that. A year or so before the Sootopolis incident, we all ended up getting separately tangled up with a group that called themselves Team Bronze, who started working in Kanjoh before we had to chase them elsewhere.

Greta: Anabel and I were just starting our Pokemon journeys then. I got my Umbreon from Bill the same time she got her Espeon — both as Eevee, of course. We were sort of rivals since the beginning, but also, like, the closest friends you'd ever meet.

Lucy: Which was why it hit Greta here the hardest when we lost Anabel to an Ultra Wormhole.

-Kaito blinks.-

Kaito: Wait, Ultra Wormhole? What?

-Greta sighs, her normally cheerful expression drooping.-

Greta: About... eleven, twelve years ago, a portal opened up right above the Battle Tower, and dropped a creature we'd never seen before right on the roof. Anabel was in the middle of a battle on the roof right when it happened, but nobody was fast enough to be able to help them fend it off.

Lucy: When the elevators finally got to the top, all of them were gone. We... well, we assumed the worst. Scott shut down the Battle Tower and made it a memorial to her.

Kaito: I... see. But, then you found her again? I mean, I'm filling in for someone named Anabel, aren't I?

Lucy: Well, duh, of course she was alive. But... we didn't see her again for several more years. Turns out she washed up in Alola without her memory, and ended up becoming an Interpol agent before anyone found out she was one of us.

Greta: But seeing us was what sparked her memory again!

Kaito: That... explains a lot, really. But, uh, what about her challenger?

-Lucy and Greta exchange sad looks.-

Lucy: ...Still nothing about her.

Greta: We don't even have enough information to be able to identify her, so we don't have anywhere to start. All we know is that her name was Aster.

Kaito: Ah... well, hopefully she's out there, alive somewhere. I know what it's like to lose someone I care about, and I also know what it's like to see them again years later, when I thought all hope was lost. The least we can do is hope, right?

Greta: Yeah. Here's hoping.

-Kaito takes a sip of his hot chocolate.-

Kaito: ...Why is it that, every time I go to a cafe with someone, we always end up on a really sad topic? Let's think of something happier.

-Greta chuckles, and they continue onto lighter conversations, about the J-Team and the Brains' travels and fights against Team Bronze.-

-Lana eventually stops in front of some water-

Lana: "Look over there."

-She indicates the splashing-

"Do you see that vigorous splashing? It's probably caused by a ferocious Pokemon. I want you to go investigate."

-Hajime is currently riding around on Ocory-

Hajime: "See, this isn't so bad."

Ocory: <Eh, bit more to see than the Ranch, at least.>

-Hajime sees something in the windows-

Hajime: "Hey, whoa-"

-Ocory comes to a sudden halt, Hajime gets flung off, is dazed for a bit, but gets up-

Hajime: "Okay... guess stopping's a thing to work on."

Ocory: <Or you being better at gripping.>

Hajime: "...Anyway, what's that?"

Ocory: <The thing that looks like an Oran Berry?>

Hajime: "Yeah. Fruit Friend, apparently? Looks kinda neat."

"And Berry shaped, which sells me on it."

-Maggie and Pitch, who have come here, are looking at the posters for Sol and Ton-

Pitch: <Hm... well, can't deny they have a theme going.>

Maggie: "Yeah, wonder what this is about... Don't think we heard anything from them since the Ranger Regions. Wonder what they're doing here."

Shaun: "Alright..."

-He calls Tsunami out and slips Ruby's ball into his jacket pocket.-

Tsunami: <Yes?>

Shaun: "Can you carry me over to those bubbles?"

-He points at the bubbles.-

Tsunami: <Of course.>

Shaun: "Alright then."

-He mounts her and they head for the bubbles.-

-A single Wishiwashi erupts from the bubbles and shoots a Water Gun at Tsunami-
