Route 9

-The sun rose hours ago, yet Bromine can't bring himself to leave his hole to see it himself. He is alone - his friend has gone to find something to eat - and he is afraid.-

~As you should be, given the circumstances.~

-Bromine jumps, and he panics.-

Bromine: ~Wh-who's there?!~

-The strange voice, like that of an old woman, returns.-

~Calm yourself, little one. I have no intention of outing you to those that would hunt you.~

Bromine: ~Who are you? Why is your voice so...~

~Strange? I wonder that myself, though perhaps it has less to do with my powers and more to do with what's been done to them. Nevertheless, to answer your first question, you may call me Kreia, and your fate and mine have both become interwoven.~

Pantera

(The Solar Flare vessels aren't far behind Silas and co. Despite being earlier models, they seem perfectly capable so far of keeping up with the Delta Wings in both speed and agility.)

Pantera

Alyesha shrugged

Alyesha: "Isn't that always the case?"

Pantera

Everyone's Comm channels opened and out came a familiar laugh. "Of course they are missing, the automated defense has been calibrated to make a show to set you up for the true threat."

Silas could barely recognize it, however to everyone else. Suddenly in the center of one of the Ship docks appeared the holographic head of Alexander DeCross. "Hello everyone, welcome to my shipyard."

Sack: <Well, this certainly is a show, huh?>

Cliff: <...You, huh? Well, we're eager to get it back.>

Lyra: "Welp. 'Sup Decross?"

-That's all she has to say.-

Elizabeth: "Well, I recognized your name from the contests and musicals Christina, Olivia, and I have watched. And there aren't many Totem-sized Ninetales. Not to mention most of you are part of the J-Team."

Pantera

Case: Hello, Alexander. I presume you're here to gloat about how there's no chance of us defeating your latest pet project?

Hano Beach

EJ nods sagely.

"Technically, yes. Buzzwole, huh? They common around these parts? Thing hit harder than that Bewear..."

Pantera

DeCross laughed, "Ah Case. How is your brother? Still missing?"

The ground of the dock opened up and out started to rise the weapon, "I have no intention of drawing things out. Consider this a test, and I promise that whatever my engineers and scientists have done before, I will not make the same mistakes."

MOBILE WEAPON - HEAVY SLAKING OMEGA

Out of the hangar rose a giant Slaking shaped Robot, it's eyes glowed and it flexed it's arms.

"Consider this a gift, and a sign that I learn."

Pantera

(Case's fingers tighten around the controls of her ship. She has to fight the urge to snarl animalistically out of sheer rage.)

Case: (to Solar Flare and the Cobalt Stars) ...don't descend yet. We have no idea what this thing is capable of.

Pantera

The Heavy Slaking began to march forward, observing them all, Silas began to orbit it, "Uh guys... you know how we usually look for the glowing part? This thing doesn't have one."

DeCross smiled, "I learned a little something while looking over previous attempts. We have access to laser proof armor and shields... why not use them all and make something truly impervious? Why do you think those ship upgrades vanished? I learned they could be used against me."

The Slaking looked up at several drone scouts of Foxeria flying in, opened it's mouth and fired a massive laser. "Be glad they were drones, my interests lie in you all... the unknown pilots who have caused so much trouble, what are your secrets?"

Silas responded with, "None of your business."

Tapu Village PMC

-An assortment of Trainers and their Pokemon are blipped in here-

Smeargle: <You're welcome.>

Locke: Well. That was quite the trip.

Shizuo: Lots of gysers.

Gudrunn: And mountains!

Alli: And Boufallant! Like the one that got close enough for me to catch it!

-She sends said Boufallant out-

Right Gregory?

Gregory: <...Right.>

Leeya: I'm happy with Tiny Tim!

-she pats a rather large Vikavolt, which buzzes affectionately. Siivagunner glares jealously-

Gina: So, what now?

Alex: Recuperate? I still need those repairs...

Zumi: Sounds ideal...

Sora: Just to prevent the debacle with Reina we all should meet up here afterward.

Reina: Quiet, you. That said that is a good idea.

Keithbin: I need to get some stuff sorted out anyway...

Neon: I'll do whatever Alli does.

Archer: All right. Do stuff, meet up at the PMC, go!

-Everyone goes their seprate ways and may be interacted with-

Panthera

Poochyena!Dave: Great, the bastard us-proofed it!

Jean: Shit! There's gotta be something we can exploit...

Ulà Ulà Meadows

-The light screen shatters upon impact, and Eleck quickly puts his arm up to protect his head from the attack. The impact makes him fall, and Eleck laughs again.-

Eleck:< That's it! It seems you have more control with your tail than we do!>

-Eleck stands up.-

Eleck:<Unfortunately that's all I can teach you. But it's better than nothing! And you learn it so fast.>

-Eleck smiles that makes him look like a drunk Himalayan Yeti.-

Frieden's office

-Frieden is going through Lusamine's notes and documents. He sees that some paragraphs show results that's the same as his research.-

Frieden:..... Ultra beasts..... Space...... Husband gone........ Lonely....... Ok, is this a research document or a diary?

-Frieden starts to skin past the rest until his eyes catch a page describing theoretical biology of Ultra beasts. He slowly goes over it.-

Lyra: "Really? A Slaking, of all things? You could have made mecha-Solageo or Mega Lucario, but nope, a Slaking."

-Lightning smiles.-

Lightning: <Thanks! Wish I could teach you something...>

Ruby: <Actually...no, no, nevermind.>

Ulà Ulà Meadows

-Eleck has his interest caught.-

Eleck:<Well, what's the move?>

Frieden's office

-Krieg walks in and slumps on the couch, pulling out the Ghostonium Z from his pocket. This catches Frieden's eyes.-

Frieden: What's that?

Krieg: Ghostonium Z

Frieden: You mean the one that allows you to use ghost Z moves?

Krieg: Yep

-Frieden thinks to himself:'Shit..... Now he has more opportunities to one up me..... I need one my self, maybe.... A Psychium Z? Yeah, yeah~ a Psychium Z!' Frieden looks back to Lusamine's documents and thinks :'This old ladies' diary can come later.' Frieden quickly looks up the trial site and runs out of his office.-

Ruby: <Well, I'm not->

Lightning: <It's okay, Ruby. Eleck, have yoh ever heard of Close Combat?>

Ulà Ulà Meadows

Eleck: <Yeah, I've seen Frieden and Krieg use it on each other at least once a day in the office.>

-Magma laughs.-

Pantera

The Heavy Slaking took notice of Lyra's comments, and soon began to lumber towards her.

"Good news is that we still hold the advantage of the skies and speed," Silas commented, "So we're-"

A rumbling was heard, rockets extended from the Slaking's back, followed by rocket plumes from its feet, it was boosting into the sky, and swinging it's arms trying to grab Lyra's ship.

"Okay nevermind."

Tapu Village outskirts

EJ gets off the boat he took from the Aether Foundation from the little cove, looking around.

"Another new island. Hopefully this one doesn't have giant bodybuilder bugs..."

Tapu Village Outskirts

-Alli is here with Neon-

Tapu Village

EJ notices the two, looking singed and slightly shipwrecked.

"Sorry to bother you two but is there a Pokemon Center in this town? My Vivillon's a little run-down."

Pantera

Alyesha tilted her head, well if obvious weapspots were amiss then she would have to make do with the less obvious ones.

And then, just as she was about to search for said less obvious ones the Slaking did her the favor of revealing obvious ones after all, using the moment when the thing was grabbing Lyra's ship she went in with her afterburners, shooting on the rockets on its back.

Tapu Village Outskirts

-Neon backs away slowly. Alli looks over-

Alli: Looks like your Vivilion isn't the only one who nees patching up.

TAPU VILLAGE

EJ looked at himself, blinking.

"Oh, uh... Yes, this is... Hey, at least I won the fight."

Lightning: <Well, a few years ago, I, um, made an Electric-type variation of it during a, uh, stressful situation.>

-Her left ear twitches.-

Lyra: "Shit."

-She flies away from it, moving eratically.-
