Poke Pelagio

Alli: Sure thing!

Why does this sound familiar?

Poni Wilds

La: Good. Anyway, I think I have a solution, but it requires we reveal... Something. You OK with that sis?

Poni Wilds

Mahina: Oh, sure thing! Not like it's gonna be the weirdest event in this kid's life...

Shaun: "I'm sure we've both seen weirder."

Poke Pelago — Raft Hut

Mohn: Fantastic! Just follow me!

-He takes the beans and Apricorn balls, gets in his own rowboat, and starts rowing toward an island. Mina gives Alli a look, before rowing as well-

Poni Wilds

La: Very well then.

-He and Ilya transform into a Solgaleo and a White Kyurem, respectively-

Locke: HOLY-

Allura: <...Glad I didn't actually attack you.>

Poke Pelago

Alli: Follow Bean Daddy!

-she roooooows-

Poni Wilds

(At the same moment, Mahina's human form peels away and dissolves as a huge, batlike creature that seems to have the night sky itself shimmering in the folds of its wings emerges from it.)

MahinaLunala: <Ta-da!~>

Poke Pelago — Isle Aplenny

-What are you talking about, Mohn's definitely not a dad in any way, shape, or form, what makes you think that? Absolutely absurd.-

-Er, ahem.-

-The group arrives at the island, where indeed a number of Cutiefly are snacking away at the berry plants.-

Mina: All right, Alli, I'm gonna help out in a different area of the island, but for you...

TRIAL START!

Mohn: Don't worry, I shouldn't need too much help! I'm only gonna ask you to catch [four] of them for me, okay?

-Shaun stares, mouth slightly agape.-

Shaun: "I'm really glad I didn't try to punch you...Wait, what's the proper etiquette for talking to a Legendary? Well, I stand corrected."

Poni Wilds

Solgaleo: <You all want to hear my idea or not?>

Ilya: <Typical newbie J-Team reactions.> -chuckles-

Isle Aplenny

-Alli nods and sneeeeeeaks up on a Cutiefly-

Shaun: "I imagine it involves that fancy altar of yours near the canyon."

Route 15

It was around this time that Rei had finally begun to show signs of fatigue, the training Colton executed putting her at a bit of a strain. From dodging Sean's Bullet Punches, trying to outspeed Amaterasu, and just seeing how much damage she could do to some local foliage - as well as the occasional VERY rude Fearows and Skarmorys - she was about ready to tap out.

She had taken a knee, setting a claw on the ground beside her for support. Her new trainer approached her, curious to see if she was fine or just wanted to go to the center and take a siesta.

Next thing he knew she had clapped her hands and the noise actually penetrated his headphones. Rei was cackling. <Di- di- did you see that look on your face? OH, MY SIDES that was priceless!> She wiped some tears from her eyes. <I'm done.> She returned herself.

Well, she's got the system down, Colton mused. Then he paused. Hm... wat do... He thought. Maybe I'll let Rei recuperate on her own, but I don't really think there's much to do in Malie. I don't have to tend to business in Akala, he eliminated. Poni is dull and Melemele has... has...

"I can't decide on an empty stomach!" He groaned as he pulled out his Ride Pager, headed for Poni. Seafood sounds good.

Hau'li City

Phaz nods.

Phaz: "Alright then, follow me~"

He begins to go to...

Iki Town

Phaz: "There we go! Now we need to find the man. Hmm... His name was Hala, if I remember correctly..."

Poni Wilds

Solgaleo:

<Basically, at our altar, me and my sis can summon a Ultra Wormhole. If we can rewire the Ultra Wormhole juuuust right, we can lead you to your parents and their friends.>

'Locke: Wait, really? Thank you!

Solgaleo: <Problem is what we even rewire the Ultra Wormhole with...>

-Shaun may be able to spot three men and a scyther-human hybrid arguing next to a strange device nearby-

Isle Aplenny 🐝

-The Cutiefly senses Alli's presence, and...-

Cutiefly: <THEY'RE COMING FOR ME!>

Iki Town

Sergey: "I know, we were already here, remember, Darling?"

Isle Appleny

-Alli blinks, then tosses a Poke Bean-

Isle Aplenny 🐝

Cutiefly: <THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE ME AW— ooh beans!>

-The Cutiefly dives for the beans and starts nibbling-

Ula'ula Island

-Scarlette has had time to mull over her conversation, and decide whether she even wants to give the video a chance.-

-She's made sure to take precautions. She's not on her own laptop, in case it contains some sort of virus. She's secluded from any watchful eyes. Where she is is uncertain, but what matters is, she's taken measures to make sure she, and whatever she watches, is safe.-

-She finally starts it up.-

OranOS Video Player

-The video blips to life, and it's difficult to parse together exactly what is being shown at first.-

-From a closer look, one can see a short young woman wearing a grey marching band outfit, tasseled to show her position as lead.-

-The young woman is looking through a window - or maybe a very high-definition screen, the video's compression makes it difficult to tell.- "Continue working on the facsimiles and test chamber settings."

-Inside the window is a cloud, almost thick enough to be called a haze, of swirling color - red, yellow, purple, and pink.- "We are nearing the end of testing on the altered nectar and it seems to meet specifications thus far."

-Through the haze, one can see the silhouette of a restraint table.- Vengeance fixes nothing - we already know that even Legendaries are replaceable.

-And through the gas, one can see horns - horns undeniably attached to a very specific Pokemon - Tapu Bulu.- "Orlandeau, what is your next objective?" "Presently, it is the isolation and elimination of a Tapu, if not all of them simultaneously."

-The Tapu is in a catatonic daze - as if the gas were all combining to put it into a deep dream state.- "The dosage makes the poison."

-The young woman turns to the camera, and smiles.-

-The video cuts off.-

Special thanks to Zeal for agreeing to have her Tapu be involved!

Iki Town

Phaz: lightly facepalms "Oh yes, silly me~ So let's find the man! I'll support you on the sides, alright~?"

Iki Town

Sergey nodded

Sergey: "Yes,Darling~"

Isle Aplenny 🐝

-Alli then tosses a Pokeball-

Isle Aplenny 🐝

-There's a nearby Lansat berry patch that has almost gotten completely stripped! A Cutiefly is attempting to pick the last one and take it away.-

Ula'ula Island

-After the video ends, Scarlette sits there, lost in thought.-

Someone's taken everything from you. You can take everything from them in return. You are in control.

I'm a her, and I'd have preferred if you'd've informed me you were doing this now before posting; you haven't mentioned anything about it in over a month.

Isle Aplenny 🐝

Alli: Nooooooo

-Tosses a pebble-

Isle Aplenny 🐝

-The Cutiefly squeaks as it's pelted by the pebble, lets go of the last Lansat berry, and flies around all disoriented.-

Cutiefly: <Owwww...>
