ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Po Town, past

-Paula cracks her neck and sends out a Porygon2. At first glance, there are two notable things about him: he has an Eviolite on a chain around his neck, and his entire body is monochrome.-

Big Data: <Oh, goodness, finally. It took long enough for you two to actually meet.>

Rose: ...Okay, I know well enough that's probably not a normal Porygon2. And not just because it's gray.

Paula: Astute observation, detective.

Rose: Your sarcasm is not appreciated, but you know that already. Pixie, Flare Blitz!

-Pixie yips, coats herself in flames, and barrels into Big Data.-

Big Data: <Now, that's not a wise decision, I don't think.>

-Big Data shifts his limbs and creates a sparking, chilling, and burning trio of beams that blast toward Pixie.-

-Pixie is knocked to low health by the odd attack-

Pixie: <Ow! That felt weird! Really weird!>

Rose: You good, Pixie?

Pixie: -yips- <Yeah! Yeah!>

Rose: All right, let's do our worst!

-She holds out her right arm, her Z-Ring glimmering in the rain and the light from the streetlamps. She crosses her arms, and does a series of punching motions, which are vaguely mirrored by Pixie bouncing back and forth on her front paws.-

-Their Aura flares up.-

-Rose gives one final punch.-

-Big Data is pounded by a barrage of Auric punches... and comes out a lot less hurt than a type advantage would suggest.-

Big Data: <Are you quite done?>

Zeke watched the two techs, who had since been nicknamed Punch and Judy by everyone else, work on the teleporter chambers. Ever since managing to keep a stable wormhole connection (as stable as that dimension was), the chambers had since been re-purposed into one wormhole generator.

"Is it ready?" Ezekiel asked, Punch nodded, Judy laughed nervously, Volt responded instead; "It's stable. We're just waiting for our subjects on the other side to boot theirs up."

"Good, glad we could get working so fast, last night when we got the message that they were finally capable of heading home, I was just glad this was over."

Punch nodded, "And sir... We've been thinking, maybe this isn't a total loss so maybe we could... keep our jobs?"

Ezekiel gave Punch a look, "I'm a reasonable man. Explain yourself."

Judy cleared his throat, "What Punch means is that this technology may be useful for communications. Our biggest problem is bandwidth and speed right?"

Zeke looked over at Johnathan who shrugged, "Yes. What are you getting at?"

"Well large scale wormholes are too unstable, and quite frankly from the looks of it, this was sheer luck that we managed to open one to another universe entirely... Soooooo... maybe we could adapt the tech for smaller scale to allow for near instant communicae in our satellites, maybe?" Punch explained.

Zeke thought it over, "If everyone comes back in one piece. You keep your jobs, and then you work on making the tech work."

The two nodded furiously, and booted up the Teleport chamber, the hole in space-time appearing once more, with less vacuum effect.

Silas stretched as he headed for the lab, it had been a week and a half since getting the wormhole tech from the Planet Dross and he was ready to go home. Apparently a lot of his luggage and "merch" from Falconan's Rocket Industries was waiting. Still, finally get home, get back to being human. He was probably the last one to get into the lab.

As he walked forward he saw something and stopped, outside Future Labs was Logan. Silas blinked, only to see Shifter and Kevin as well, "Uh..."

"Don't worry Mr. Gr- Captain Grant, I'm not here to fight," "Well that's good, I just recently woke up and I don't have my blasters on me. What about your friends the Heir to a insane empire and Boba Fett?"

Kevin shrugged and Shifter said, "We're off duty. No point."

"Okay..." Logan cleared his throat, "I came by to... thank you for showing me the truth, finding out what happened to my... my dad. It cleared things up, getting rid of Dexter was even better honestly, I feel a weight of my shoulders. But I have to question, why? I've done nothing but antagonize you, hell I left you for a cold asphyxiated death when we first met. I get that you have some other home to get to, that's not the big deal here."

Silas straightened up and shrugged, "You deserve to know the truth, nothing more than that."

Logan smirked a bit, "If we ever see each other again, we'll probably be rivals once more."

Logan and his entourage left. Silas smiled a little and stepped inside the building, various scientists directed him to a main chamber, a large metal octagonal structure awaited them. Drakos was there as the technicians slowly powered it up. Silas could also see his comrades in arms waiting, "Sorry I took so long."

Foxeria

Phaz was here in a more casual attire, finally relieved about what happened.

He slept as much as possible.

Phaz: "We got all our time now Silas. It's okay."

He smiles.

Foxeria

Cliff: <So... that thing to send us to where y'all came from finally ready?>

Sack: <Hopefully...>

Foxeria

???: Excuse me, Captain Grant?

(Case Rain hurries her way through the crowd, her eyes set on Silas.)

Case: Apologies for not contributing to the defeat of DeCross, Captain Grant. By the time we caught up to you, he had sealed off the entrance to his lair - we simply couldn't get in.

Mobius Airship

(Seth grins widely when the wifi password comes up.)

Seth: My idea! Heh, it's always great to see the reactions.

(Padma turns to Alonya.)

Padma: <Yeah! The Doc's been talking 'bout how he needs new help for ages now!>

Foxeria

Jean: So you're going home.

Poochyena!Dave: Yep!

Mia: It's nice. Mostly.

Jean: ...Can I go with you?

Poochyena!Dave: ...Huh?

Dr. Multiman's Office

Dr. Multiman: Indeed I am! But first, your and the AI's story, Alonya?

Alonya: Well...

-starts explaining-

Po Town, way past

Mona: <That's just unfair:>

Archer: Oh no, oh no...

To Jean, "I don't see why not."

Silas smiled at Case, "It's fine Case. Help would've been nice, but it was a nice Ego boost putting the maniacal monkey man down."

He looked over Foxeria and the Gamma wings before something clicked, what he saw, "Case... I just remembered. Did Win outright Vanish? Older Model Gamma Wing? I think when Alexander was spamming portals, I saw one of a older Gamma Wing, heavily beat, but still moving."

Drakos picked up, "It seems we have something to hunt for soon."

Jamie: <Huh. So they made a god by playing god.>

Shaun: "Alright, I'll make this quick. I need a Beast Ball. Just one."

Elizabeth: "Just you two?"

-Lyra smiles. She's gathered all her stuff up.-

Lyra: "No worries. It's been, what, a couple months? An hour won't kill me."

-She's twirling a gold-plated spoon in her hand.-

Foxeria

Case: It... would be nice to consider, but Win... there is no chance he survived. Cortez and Spalding were there, they saw him shot down when DeCross first betrayed us... saw his ship crash and explode...

Mobius Airship

(Seth and Padma sit patiently and listen to the explanation, Seth making "ooooh" sounds whenever something he finds interesting is brought up.)

Foxeria

Jean: -gulps- All right then.

Capim Town

Deino!Robin: Pretty much.

Aether Paradise

-Gladion pauses, then shrugs and tosses Shaun a Beast Ball-

Gladion: I just spent all last night having to deal with grudges between old guard and new faces here in Aether. Your politeness is... Refreshing.

Dr. Multiman's Office

-Alonya, with help from Oran OS, finishes her explanation. Notably, they leave out the shadier bits of Team Iron and Best Berry's operations-

Dr. Multiman: So, mutual trouble with that J-Team, eh? They seemed respectable enough, but I've been wrong before... You know what, I'll help you...

...In return for a favor!

Oran OS: ...Like what?

Foxeria, Public Space outside Future Labs

Alyesha already was in, she had spend the last days relaxing - in fact she had spend nearly the whole day following the victory inside Simo's cockpit sleeping until the mechanics managed to get her to get out. Besides that she had mostly spoke with her team, though she still went into the training room regularily, albeit not to train with her weapons anymore and more to practice her attacks.

Jamie: <I'm glad you put a stop to those peoplemons. I'm glad all these bad guys were stopped. I wouldn't fancy living under Galactic or Cipher.>

Shaun: "Thanks. Considering one of your employees I met, I understand why. Especially considering we're practically the same age - but on the other hand, I don't own a company, and we've had very different experiences, from what I understand."

Capim Town

Deino!Robin: There are some still out there, so we gotta be prepared.

Aether Foundation

Gladion: ...

-smiles slightly-

Thank you

Capim

<Uh, Mona?> Colton asked, reaching for her shoulder. <Did you want to tell me something, or that guy you were with?>

Jamie: <Yeah...that's why we have the J-Team. But come on! This is a wedding, not a funeral! We should enjoy ourselves!>

-Shaun smiles.-

Shaun: "You're welcome. See ya around, maybe."

-He waves and turns around.-

Capim Town

Deino!Robin: Yeah! See you at the snack bar! Well, not really see...

-he starts sniffing and heads off-

Aether Paradise

-Gladion waves back and closes the door-

Mobius Airship

Seth: Wait, hold on - why do we have to fight the J-Team? I can't exactly call myself a paranormal investigator if I'm trying to put the best investigators in the multiverse six feet under, can I?

Silas sighed, "Then what was with the Gamma wing I saw?"

Drakos shrugged, "We'll find out eventually. If we ever find anything."

Silas shrugged and stepped inside with everyone else. There sat the Portal home, "So we're certain this works?"

Drakos nodded, "We have the utmost assurance, we read Alexander's notes, at least the ones he actually kept."

The team looked at the Portal, "Alright. Power it up."

The room darkened for a moment as a soft hum was heard, the Ring in the Octagon started to spark before crackling loudly, a blinding blue light appeared for a moment and there it was. The Portal home. Static crackled, and in came Zeke's voice, "It's stable! Finally! Congrats looks like you two chuckle-heads get to keep your job!"

Silas took a deep breath and looked over everyone, all their stuff had been packed up and ready to go through, he grabbed his luggage and extended a hand to Drakos, who took it and shook firmly. "It's been a honor serving with you sir," "May we meet again one day Captain Grant."

Silas let go, and stepped through.

Out stepped Silas, who looked over himself, human again. The entire team there went nuts in celebration in no short order.

Silas took a deep breath, and his monotone returned, somewhat looser than before, "Myself again."

He turned back to the portal and smirked, "We're safe everyone! Come on through!"

Zeke took Silas aside as his Poke-team ran for the bag wondering what was inside, Hacks of course taking his place by Silas's side once more.

"So, quite the adventure?" "Ezekiel you have no idea. When we contacted you a week ago-" "Week ago? We talked last night."

Silas blinked before pondering the reasoning, ~Perhaps the dimension had to realign itself chronologically to the rest of existence or something~ Hacks suggested. Silas shrugged and took it, "Anyways. We won a war for peace and Freedom against a mad tyrant. One who had turned himself into a giant brain."

"Oh that's fairly typical actually. From what I understood it was a fairly scifi universe?" "Zeke, we're so far behind, they got FTL jump systems, Starfighters, Artificial Gravity. Couldn't bring any of it with me, and I'm want to say, but I can't just be your Science Officer anymore."

Zeke raised a brow, "Really now? Why is that?"

Silas stood straight up, legs together, and saluted, "Captain Silas Grant of the Cobalt Stars reporting for duty."

Andromeda floated by <Wow. Really gonna let that get to his head,>, Deimos nodded <Seems our science officer has bigger plans.>

Silas almost did a doubletake but ignored it, could've been nothing. "I have my own ship, my own crew, my own Starfighter. I even have a medal as thanks for the efforts my team put into stopping a interplanetary war that the good guys were losing."

Zeke whistled as Silas held up the medal, "So what's in the box then if not advanced technology we could reverse engineer and cheat our way farther."

Before Silas could answer, he heard <OH MY ARCEUS! THIS IS AMAZING!!!>

Silas looked over and saw Amber holding up a box of one of his Falco Pops, depicting him as the Lucario Leader. <SILAS THIS IS SO COOOOOOOL!>

Silas's jaw dropped, Hacks took notice, ~Something wrong?~

"Okay what. I- that should have- I thought that as soon as I became human again I would-"

Snakeye clued in, <Well lookie here. The sheriff can finally talk to us without a darn translator. Sorry ta say Hacks, but you're not needed to translate for us anymore.>

Zeke looked at all of them and just looked confused, "Care to let your boss know what's up?" ~Silas can understand Pokemon now.~

"How does that work? I'm human again, shouldn't it-" ~Save it for later. I still need to check you for Aura potential so we can train.~

Tae chuckled a bit, <Hey means we can work more effectively together now.>

Zeke shrugged and left Silas to be confused, watching as others came along.

Following Dave and Mia, a automated cart carried some smaller wormhole tech and blueprints, Drakos waving them off, "Good luck getting your allies out."

Asimov HQ

(Silas's phone suddenly rings. It seems you have an incoming call, Captain Grant.)

Silas snaps out of his confusion for a moment and answers his phone, "Hello?"

Foxeria, Future Labs

Alyesha took a deep breath, saluted one last time to the part that would stay in their own universe and stepped through the portal.

Asimov HQ, R&D

When she stepped through she looked around, seeing her team she didn't hesitate, running to them and pretty much glomping Matvey - as he was the one least likely to fall over and be squashed by that.

Alyesha: "Oh you don't know how much I've missed you all~"

The whole team joined in on the hug, actually leaving Alyesha to shed tears of joy, now that she was finally back with all of them.

After quite a bit of general cuddling and some first explanations of what happened Alyesha showed her luggage. With the figures and everything.

Dr. Multiman's Office

Dr. Multiman: Well, Seth, we won't be resorting to brute force straightaway! Convincing them to see the error of their ways so they can join our cause should be our first priority facing them.

-Turning back to Alonya, Oran OS, and Izaya-

Anyway... I want you three to be special administrative ambassadors for Mobius! That is to say you can help call the shots around here while still keeping ties to your current organizations... if any.

Izaya: -shrugs- I don't have a current organization, so I guess I'm in!

Alonya: ...Shouldn't we call our current bosses first?

Dr. Multiman: Oh! Where are my manners?

-to Oran OS-

You there! While you're hijacking the video display, call your bosses, will you?

Oran OS: On it!

-they call them-

Foxeria

Poochyena!Dave: Appreciate it!

Mia: Thanks.

Jean: ...Goodbye.

-they enter the portal-

Asimov R&D

-And exit here, Dave cheering at being human again, Mia looking at her unchanged self and shrugging-

-Jean looks around in shock at how much everything's changed, not noticing she's changed herself...-

Ezekiel stepped up, "Welcome back, sorry about the incident that got you into that situation in the first place. PEFE was very helpful in letting us keep-" Zeke noticed Jean.

"Excuse me Miss, I don't believe we met... nor were you on the tour that caused the regrettable incident. Who might you be?"

Asimov R&D

???!Jean: I'm Jean. Jean Amber. I joined up with Captain Silas' group during that whole mess.

Lyra: "See ya, General. Artemis."

-She grabs her bags and steps in...-

-And steps out, a Kadabra again. Though she's dressed in oversized clothes.-

Lyra: <Knew I should've stripped back there...prudes.>

-She flashsteps out of her clothes (except for her scarf)...and is glomped by an Alolan girl.-

Elizabeth: "Lyra!"

Lyra: <Lizzy! Careful, these goods are fragile. So are the things in my bags.>

Elizabeth: "Glad to see your sense of humor hasn't changed. Oh, we missed you!"

-Indeed, all of Elizabeth's other Mons are behind her. Christina, Olivia, and Oberon all look overjoyed (as best as he can, in the latter case), and Haku and Aristotle show restraint, but are both smiling.-

Lyra: <What's today?>

Elizabeth: "September 19th.>

Lyra: <Huh. By my count it should be around December or even 2018. Whatever.>

Oberon: <How wonderful it is to see thou again, oh Lyra the interdimensional sorceress!>

Olivia: <I'm not gonna call you that, but I did miss you.>

Aristotle: <Good to see you, my child.>

Christina: <It's fantastic to see you! Lyra my dear, I need you to tell me everything.>

Haku: <...Good to see ya, kid.>

Lyra: <It's great to see you all too! But why do you need me to tell you everything?>

Oberon: <Lady Christina and Mistress Tsukida wish to compose a song regarding your heroic deeds!>

Lyra: <Aw, thanks. But it'll have to wait. Ooh, wanna see something? Oh wait, you've already seen my Falco Pop. I'll show you everything later.>

Elizabeth: "I will bake you the best Lunaladamned cake on [Earth]."

-Lyra chuckles.-

Lyra: <That's a high bar to top now that I've had Alyesha's cooking.>
