-a star-shaped sigil appears below Celeste's feet as she concentrates-

-Ephemera's ears glow brightly, and the Zygarde coils up around the funnel to try and hold it in place-

PEFE!Every: Are you familiar with...a psychic cohesion field?

Pleth: <No.>

PEFE!Every: I'll begin there then. When a mon does not occupy...its physical body, how is...consciousness maintained through...that experience?

Pleth: <Magic.>

PEFE!Every: You sound like your trainer. The psychic cohesion field...enables a mon to maintain a consistent...perspective throughout a non-corporeal...state. For instance, and most commonly...during teleportation. Other examples may include...the Transform move, disintegration demonstrated...by Vaporeon during use of Acid Armor...and if you ask me, the entire...mechanism of Ghost-type persistence.

Pleth: <Cool. Why do I care about any of this?>

PEFE!Every: We're going to put one...in that Zubat.

Pleth: <...That sounds highly unethical.>

PEFE!Every: How can creating life...possibly be unethical?

"Luna, quit squirming and sit still." Zach murmurs firmly, moving the nozzle of the potion over the angry red mark down her side. Nearby, Rargna is watching and waiting patiently for his turn.

<It hurts and you're messing up my fur!> Luna retorts, but Zach is relentless. With an over-dramatic huff, she settles, content to merely glare.

Pop!

<Zach!> Rargna is immediately standing, baring his teeth at the small Psychic type who came into existence a short distance away. Zach raises his head, and stares at the little Pokemon with some confusion.

Abra: <J-Team? Whatever. Close enough. I need a nap. Enjoy the party.>

Zach: "Wait, wha-?"

Pop!

Party - Outside

"-at?" Zach finishes as he, the Linoone in his arms and the angry Growlithe flicker into being. The trainer looks around at everyone, eyes wide, utterly bewildered.

Po Town

Skull Grunt A: Yo girl, this is cray. The hell's with all this screaming?

Skull Grunt B: Okay, first, never say "cray". Second, it's Halloween. Someone's gotta be playing pranks.

Skull Grunt A: Or Guzma's back with his paddle again.

Skull Grunt B: Didn't Plumeria burn that thing?

Skull Grunt A: Oh, yeah, she did, didn't she?

???: ~GRRRRRR...~

Skull Grunt B: ... That was your stomach, right?

Skull Grunt A: I was really hoping I could ask you that...

???: ~BEWARE, COWARDS! I LIVE.~

-The two grunts scream and quickly bolt into the nearby house.-

Polydamas: <Promise me you'll never do that again...>

Ludmilla: Nope. That was kinda fun.

Ula Ula Meadow

-A Giratinist sigil appears beneath Duolis as Obscura weaves upwards from her to the wormhole-

Nearby

-A strange blip appears on the Mobius airship's radar-

Party

Neon: I have phenomenal psychic power! I can figure something out!

Human!Ammy: -waves to Zach- Hi! You just get here? Come on inside!

edited 31st Oct '17 6:56:04 PM by Umbramatic

Zach stares at Human!Ammy for a few long moments... and only snaps out of it when Rargna steps in front of him, growling.

Rargna: <Back it up.>

Zach: "H-Hey. Cool it, Rar. They seem friendly."

Zach reaches out to stroke the Growlithe across the ears, and he settles a little. Luna ducks under Zach's arm, and darts away to groom her own fur back to position, glaring. Deciding to let it go, Zach gets to his feet, and a little unsteadily, greets Ammy.

Zach: Uh... hi. I'm Zach... this is Rargna, and that's Luna over there. An... Abra sent us here for some reason? I'm not sure where we are."

He rubs the back of his head sheepishly - he seems awkward, but not overly fussed by the change in location.

Shady House, Po Town

-Ludmilla looks around the entryway in a halfhearted attempt to find some Buginium-Z.-

Ludmilla: I have no idea where to look.

Doomsday: <You know what you do when you need to find something?>

Ludmilla: We're not kidnapping someone to interrogate them again.

Doomsday: <That isn't what I was gonna say.>

Ludmilla: Yes it was.

Doomsday: <No it wasn't!>

Ludmilla: I've known you since you hatched. That is exactly what you'd say!

Petite Female Skull Grunt: Hey! What are you doing here?!

-Doomsday looks from the grunt to Ludmilla and back again.-

Doomsday: <I have a new idea.>

Ludmilla: Oh jeez...

Party

Human!Ammy: Oh! One of the X-Naut Abra must have picked you up! This is the J-Team Halloween party!

Party

Zach: "X-Naut...? ...Well, I'm glad to have an invitation!"

Rargna: <Less an invitation than a kidnapping. ...Though something smells good inside.>

Zach glances over to Luna, and seeing that she's almost done with her grooming, collects her up with his Pokeball. He grins to Ammy widely, and starts to head to the door.

Party

-Ammy follows Zach and co. in, where he will find various costumed people and Pokemon, decorations, games, activities, and a dessert stand slash cantina-

Shady House, Po Town

Ludmilla: This is mean.

-Ludmilla straightens the bandana on her face and laments at how cold her legs are.-

Doomsday: <Hey, we didn't take her underwear.>

Ludmilla: That doesn't help!

Doomsday: <Stop being a baby! All you gotta do is wear this until you actually find the bug rock things, then we can just walk on out.>

Ludmilla: Not with you out we won't.

Doomsday: <... Oh, righ->

-Ludmilla recalls Doomsday and closes the closet door on the bound and gagged Skull Grunt.-

Ludmilla: I guess upstairs is the only way that makes sense...

Mobius Airship

~Beep beep. Beep beep~

-Anomalous signals, occult power surges, electric warnings. Was this it? She hoped to get the set done before such, or at least get a group together for a board game night but this didn't feel like a drill or false alarm-

Lily: Ooh frig-damnit I just found a good VHS rip!

-Well, time to run to what passed for battle stations around the airship. If this was it, the moment of Truth then this was gonna be Lily's best Halloween in years-

Fuego: -concentrates, an ethereal ball of yarn forming above his head-

-the cyclone connects with the wormhole, which starts to spin rapidly and slowly grow larger-

-next, the scraps of Entree bark begin levitating, and... sparking?-

Brebre: <Almost there!>

-shunk!-

-the wormhole and cyclone both pulse violently, the wormhole now glowing with a yellow color-

-beat... beat... beat...-

-before the complex begins pulsing much more calmly, the colors and vibe of the wormhole changing each time... though growing slightly larger each time-

-Fuego, Duolis, Ephemera, and Celeste may notice the ritual is no longer requiring their attentions to stabilize-

Ton: ...is that it?

Sol: I believe so. It will take it some time to reach its final size, but I think our helpers' work here is done.

-he gives the others a thumb's up-

Celeste: <...That's it? That was pretty easy.>

Ula Ula Field

-Duolis gives an akward thumbs up back...-

-When suddenly the Mobus airship swoops in from out of the sky!-

Airship Bridge

Dr. Multiman: This is it! This is the precise sort of multiversal abberation I've been searching for for decades!

Alonya: ...What for, sir?

Dr. Multiman: To create a perfect universe for all!

Oran OS: Booting up systems!

-Izaya simply smiles and strokes the flash drive in his pocket-

-Ephemera hops up and down excitedly-

-Victini! Victini!-

-Xatu Delphox?-

-and then the airship happens-

-Slakoth, Spinda????-

PEFE!Every: I'm going to need you to be my hands on this. Literally. Grasping digits are extremely important.

Pleth: <I don't know if I want to.>

PEFE!Every: I need a few things I can't get....while I'm stuck in this room. Like that Zubat, about a... pint of adrenaline....and some Nihilego venom. Do you know where that would be?

Pleth: <Even if I did, I'm not giving you access to neurotoxins.>

PEFE!Every: I thought we were friends.

Pleth: <I'm pretty much just making sure nobody kills you.>

-PEFE!Every feels an odd stab of guilt, but doesn't recognize the feeling and ignores it-

Lanakila Center

-Colton finds Diane, who is still watching the armband shenanigans from afar. She sweatdrops.-

Diane: We're not giving them away. We let them borrow it—

Skye: Really recklessly, and once we get that one back we'll be a lot more cautious who we lend them to.

Diane: Right, what she said.

Po Town

-Paula, who has decided to wear a shameless ripoff of Guzma's outfit for the day, is busy in a game of Briggoo with a bunch of Skull Grunts when they hear the screams.-

An Original Skull Grunt: What was that?

An Alternate Skull Grunt: Relax, it's Halloween, people scream because of shitty scary movies.

-And then the next.-

Paula: At least one of those came from outside. What in the world is going on?

-As another scream happens, she looks around, then tosses her controller to another Grunt, who yelps and fumbles for it.-

Paula: Don't fuck this up for the team while I'm out investigating, got it?

Another Skull Grunt: Uh, r-right!

-She leaves to go search for the perpetrator.-

-The Luxray is Mudbombed and shakes some out of his eyes.-

Lux: <*growls* I'll deal with you next!>

-He faces Lightning.-

Lux: <How about I make your ears match!>

-He leaps at Lightning with a Thunder Fang.-

Lightning: <Eep!>

-She narrowly dodges Lux, an angry look unlike her normal, shy look taking over her face.-

Shaun: "If you're gonna do it, do it now."

-Lux coughs as countless Thunder Punches hit his body.-

Houndoom: <We need to run, Kirai.>

Poacher Kirai: "I told you not to call me that!"

-He looks at his weakened Mons, them at Shaun and Kaisei - both with plenty of Pokémon and full of rage.-

Kirai: "Lux, we're leaving!"

Lux: <*coughs* No! I won't *cough* lose again!>

Kirai: "I didn't ask for your opinion!"

-He recalls both the Luxray and the Houndoom, and releases a Drifblim.-

Kirai: "Get us out of here!"

-The Drifblim scoops him up and begins to fly away.-

Shaun: "Anti-air measures!"

-Jamie shoots an Ice Beam while Lightning fires a Thunderbolt.-

Jamie: <This is Beowulf.>

-The Ralts bows.-

Jamie: <He's new.>

Lanakila Center - Party

"Oh." The Unovan also sweatdropped. "Not gonna lie, I'm kinda envious of all those who have one. I mean, I know they're rarer than Shiny Red Basculin, but that just furthers it, ya know?" He defended.

Mobius Airship, Bridge

-Was this Lily's battle station? Maybe. If it wasn't she was here anyway because goddamn we're actually doing it!-

Lily: Ten years to find one itty bitty widdle ball of dimensional bonkers. Well come on blow it up already! We are gonna blow it up yeah?

-Celeste flattens her ears at the sight of the airship-

Celeste: <I'm sorry, grandpa!>

Fuego: -leaping with Ephemera- <Yes!>

-airship!-

Fuego: -pauses mid-leap- <...What's that doing here?>

Sol: I... -he squints in irritated puzzlement-

Ton: It's gotta be Best Berry. Attack!

Sol: Um-

Brebre: <On it!>

-Ton and Brebre dance in what is a clearly a Z-Move pose, if not one that is official-

Mycellium Spectre

Brebre: -uses Solarbeam, producing a kaiju Breloom made of light that plods towards the airship in an attempt to swat it out of the air-

Fuego: O_O

-slooowly floats backwards-

Mobius Airship

(Gazing at the anomaly from the window of their dingy hovel are Seth and Padma. Padma being Padma, she's sharing the largest bag of popcorn she could find with her trainer.)

Padma: <Pretty cool, isn't it?>

Seth: Eh. Tearing apart the multiverse for the sake of scientific progress is all well and good, but I'd honestly much rather Captain Cereal didn't make such a bloody show of it.

Gabrielle: "The good doctor is just using this as a way to open a precise interdimensional portal, correct?"

Zelel: <Precisely. If you'll excuse me I have to run some calculations.>

Michael: <How long will that take, five seconds?>

-Gabrielle continues to watch.-

 Halloween Party 

Ann: -To Umbra- Ended up in Treasure Town, formed a Rescue Team with my starters, who I met there.

 Somewhere on Ula'ula, tonight 

The Wanderer: -Eyes looking much like a Staraptor's ATM, though he hasn't bothered changing his head into one- First an oversized Ultra Wormhole, now an airship?

Judith: -Looking through a pair of binoculars- What.

The Wanderer: ...They're screwing with things they can't even begin to understand.
