Amber nodded, <No tail or anything, no snout. Far less fur slash hair on you. It's pretty weird, I've always wondered what I'd look like as a human.>
Silas shrugged, "Still, we'll be at civilization soon. I get the feeling that it wouldn't be too hard to help you find a place, I hear Alola is a great place to live. Quiet, Sunny."
Tae snarked, <Sounds like you'd hate it.>
Silas rolled his eyes, "Too hot for my tastes, I prefer more artificial environments."
Hacks shot him a look, ~Space man.~
"That's Rocket Man to you."

Ever: Uh, hi other me.
PEFE!Every: -hisses-
Ever: ...Okay.
PEFE!Every: I'm not the "other you."
-she grabs a syringe and a cotton swab our of her labcoat. Ever takes a step back cautiously-
PEFE!Every: Don't take this personally or anything, but I'm going to need a blood sample to prove it's you.
Ever: I'm getting the strangest sense that you don't enjoy being out of HQ.
PEFE!Every: (acidly) What gave that away?
-she takes a step towards him, at which point Scuttle and a Krookodile let themselves out of their balls. The Krookodile restrains her, and Scuttle steps in between her and Ever (who backs away much further from the Ariados)-
PEFE!Every: Hey! Let me go!
Scuttle: <Not until you calm down.>
PEFE!Every: Cytosol, stop translating.
Sharptooth: Krook. Krookodile. Dile Krookodile.
PEFE!Every: I'm not listening.
Ever: ...Uh, he says that he understands that you're freaked out, but that you're perfectly safe and you're under his and...Scuttle's? His and Scuttle's protection. And that Tuft, Fade, and Checkmate are there too. As is Cervantes.
PEFE!Every: Oh. Right. You understand mons somehow.
Ever: It's magic.
PEFE!Every: There's no such thing.
Ever: Oh boy.

PEFE!Every: Whatever. You're wrong—
Ever: I'm not—
PEFE!Every: But whatever. Where am I?
Ever: Uh, Poni Island, in Alola.
PEFE!Every: (to Scuttle) You brought me to a tourist trap?
Scuttle: Ariados.
Ever: Uh, he says you needed a vacation.
PEFE!Every: I hate islands. I met you on an island, remember? That's when everything went downhill.
Ever: Well, I dunno. You came out, you discovered how to create a legion of Dunsparce like Re— like our ancestor did...
PEFE!Every: I got kidnapped and was held hostage for months while I was forced to build a robot.
Ever: Well, if you look at it like that—
PEFE!Every: Look, whatever character development Scuttle's looking for, let's just get it over with so I can go back home.
Scuttle: Ariados.
Ever: I can only assume you don't need a translation of that.
PEFE!Every: It's not going to be that easy?
Ever: It is not.

Paula: Oho, do I have good news for you, then. Your job's already done! I'm out of Cipher and will remain that way for the indefinite future, and old Verax is a J-Teamer. Or, was. He's been keeping quiet for a hell of a long time. Might be long gone, honestly.

-Bromine sits in his corner, eating a handy sandwich someone had forgotten about in the mess hall. Thankfully, no one needed to look in his corner for any reason - his SEP field wasn't at max power after his stint with malnourishment.-
Marshadow: <Tasty?>
-Bromine stairs blankly. Marshadow blinks.-
Marshadow: ~Tasty?~
-Bromine nods. Marshadow smiles and cuddles up beside his newest and bestest friend.-
The Red Wings
-Cid sighs. The kind of sigh you make when you know your liquor cabinet is empty and that the near future is gonna make you regret it.-
Cid: I should swing by Kalos next time I want to declare war, stock up ahead of time.
-He stands and paces for a moment before something dawns on him.-
Cid: Hector!
-The Magmortar stirs from his shadowed corner.-
Cid: I have standing orders for you. You and Bison.
-Hector's demeanor, for a split second, seems more stoney than normal.-

-Gelert sighs through clamped teeth as he drags Ludmilla through the door by the collar of her shirt.-
Ludmilla: Daddy was right, a one percent grade does make a difference.
Gelert: <That sign said six.>
Ludmilla: Oh, that makes it a LOT worse...
Gelert: <Maybe it's time to be a little more reasonable with your self-imprelovement thing.>
Ludmilla: Uh huh...
Vast Poni Canyon
-We are about to cross yet another bridge... only to see a Jangmo-o blocking the way-
Um...
Jangmo-o: <I've been watching you and your group for quite some time since you've entered the canyon, and I think I've found the peoplemons that weird bird told me to train and look out for.>
...Okay?
What has Xatu been doing behind my back...
Jangmo-o: <Allow me to join you on your noble quest against the forces of evil.>
...
...
...
Well I've never been one to look a gift Ponyta in the mouth so...
Okay, you're hired. We could probably use a proper canyon guide anyway...
Jangmo-o: <Yes!>
Though now we need a name... Varanus?
Jangmo-o: <Eh....>
Muddy: <Gawain?>
Jangmo-o: <Maybe...>
Doc: <How about Benkei?>
Jangmo-o Benkei: <I like that one.>

Okay Benkei, welcome to the team.

Archer: Good to hear about Dad, but what about this Skull gig for you? And what about this other you?
Contact Me!Po Town — Past
Paula: All right, backstory time. The big reason I'm not still in Cipher is, I got a heaping dose of divine punishment and I— or rather, she, the other one, lost all her memories. I'm those memories, see? I, the manifestation of her memories of Cipher, got tossed into this cosmic prison place or something, called Dashedreams, while she effectively reset everything. Of course...
-She takes off her sunglasses, revealing the glitchy particles clouding her eyes-
Paula: I always do manage to find my way out of holding responsibility.

-Archer and Mona recoil at the sight of Paula's eyes-
Mona: <Knew her Aura was off...>
Archer: OK, so how did that happen?

-Paula raises an eyebrow, then puts her sunglasses back on-
Paula: Which "that"? The eyes? The escape? The memory split thing?

Archer: Eyes please Mom. Also memory split.

Paula: The split was Unown doing weird Unown things. The eyes... okay gonna be honest with you, kid, I'm part glitch now, there was this event a few months ago that I effectively hitchhiked a ride on a glitch back to reality during. I was, like, the only part of the glitch that wasn't killed at the time.
Po Town, past
Archer: So not only are you split into two different people, this one is part glitch. What about the other one?

Paula: Oh, she's 100% the real thing. Just, amnesia. She didn't even remember her name, so the first friend she latched onto called her Rose.

Foxeria, Portal to the normal world [Past]
Phaz was here (not that I told ya already), saluted one last time the peoples around and entered last the portal to...
Asimov HQ, R&D
...Come back as a human again, inhaling deeply before being almost sent back into the portal by Cynthia and Embry glomping him.
Phaz: "Ack! Hehe... Hi guys~!"
Cynthia: ~YOU CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH I MISSED YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!~
Embry: <For me too!>
Phaz awkwardly hug the both of them, smiling, when the others come to hug too.
Phaz: "Ah~... It feel so great. Felt like I was out for three months..."
He stands up again and look for someone else too~!

Sergey was there, having spent the whole time in the HQ to help get all of them back, at the moment he was chatting with Alyesha but as Phaz came out she chuckled, pointing towards the portal.
Seeing Phaz finally coming out Sergey nearly started crying tears of joy as he ran towards him.

Phaz notices Sergey coming at him and quickly tosses the bags he had -~MINE!~ <NO WAY!> <Don't start again! They're for everyone!>- and began to open his arms to catch the incoming Sergey.
Phaz: "Dearest~!"
He was tearing a bit too.
-Liar. He's gushing tears of joys too~!-

Sergey glomped Phaz, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Sergey: "Darling~! I missed you so much~" -chuckle- "Sorry I couldn't get you back earlier... did you at least enjoy it there~?"

Phaz: "You're the one I thought of everyday~..."
Coughs from behind
"...With you guys of course."
Nods of approval.
"I missed you too~!"
Love's true (cheek) kiss, followed by a tight cuddle~
"But yes, it was fun~ Even piloted a tank!"

At this point Sergey made a (playfully) jealous face
Sergey: "You're a meanie, Darling! You know how much I like them, why would you do this to me?"

Phaz jokingly pets Sergey.
Phaz: "Ah, ah~, if I didn't do it, I wouldn't be able to tell you how it feels so that you'll want to come~ But don't worry Dearest, I got you things that makes up for it~!"
He teasingly winks at Sergey, smiling mysteriously.

Sergey blushed and chuckled
Sergey: "Heh, I'm interested~ But for now you should probably relax, right?"

Archer: Right. Geez, with all you said about her and yourself, mabye she's the one I need to steer the right direction and the reason why just hasn't happened yet.

Shady Mansion
Archer: Well, you and dad were well off in the criminal underworld from being Cipher that I was essentially the equivalent of a spoiled mafia prince.
Mona: <You even flew him around the world to get me as a starter from some underground breeder.>
Archer: But then... Shit went down, dad divorced you and disowned me, all of our lives went down the shitter... And the rest of the world did too. So I tailed this girl named Liliana who had a blessing from Celebi and found myself in this timeline. She wasn't happy about it. So I tried to find you and Dad hoping if I could get at least one of you on the right track the future wouldn't go to shit.
