A barrier is erected, small at first, "Very nice. Very nice ind-"
It proceeds to get larger very fast and strike Jester in the face.
Jester however is not angry, "Very good! Well Mr. Multiman, good luck with whatever plans you have going, see you once I've corrupted everything else!"
And with that, Jester flew out, making a new hole in the airship.
-If Porygon could blush in embarrasment...-
Zelel: <Oh, my apologies. I was focusing more of my processing power on watching the events unfold with Dr. Multiman and that strange creature. Would you happen to know which of you four took care of the human?>

Dr. Multiman: ...Odd fellow, even for a glitch... And speaking of odd fellows, if that kid found us that J-Team will soon enough! Oran OS, chart us a new destination!
Oran OS: On it, sir! We'll be far away in just a second!
-The airship's cloaking is soon on, and even without it soon it is long beyond the sight of anyone in Alola...-

-The sharp baton-smack sounds each call back the memories of similar, equally sharp sounds, from her first memories in this world. Splintering wood. Breaking beams. Papery snaps. She winces and tenses up a bit each time, but the first is enough for Gus to stand up and walk up to Scarlette for comfort.-
-She smiles anyway, in response to Aulstyne's. A verbal response doesn't quite come.-
Carna's Domain — AU
-The Hammer Arm dazes Carna enough to let Archer pass.-
Carna: <DON'T YOU DARE—>
-Carna turns around away from Pyra and chases after Archer — who, in the next room Heihei runs into, can find what looks like a Pokemon Center healing machine, in the middle of some sort of repurposing measure, with a number of spare parts strewn across the room. One of the healing spots in the machine contains a single Poke Ball.-

Jester floated over the landmass, "Oh it's been far too long. How are you Hyul? Still dead? Good."
He floated in, the fog and floatsam a neat little cover, "Better than a perception filter. Better make sure to set one up."
He entered the island, the former Kingdom of Hyul, various old ruins and wrecks strewn about, the tireless guardians still moving, "Gotta get my guys back, not as fancy as these buddies with the lasers though."
Jester entered, and settle down at the castle, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah," he kicked his "feet" over the armrest of the old throne, "Boy! Been a long time! Time to relax, catch some rest, think of my next big plan before I just start restructuring the-"
Something was wrong. The island felt off, something was here, it wasn't the Pokemon, it wasn't the guardians. Something was deep under the castle. Jester sighed and tried to just go down, only to be met with a barrier.
"Only the greatest warrior, a true knight of courage and character may enter" it spoke. Jester grumbled, "always something with you guys... Damn Hyulians."
So he needed a individual of "courage and character". Jester groaned, he asked "Okay, can it be from the Island? I mean we've got plenty of inhabitants with the Pokemon and the old Guardians you Hyulians built."
"Only one from outside, may pass. Monster. One un-corrupted by you."
Sassy, Jester liked it already, "Okay. Gotta fix some things up here then," he stretched, cracking his "neck" and getting ready, "Just gotta make a proper perception filter... and send out... some invites."
Jester had his plan thought through, he'd invite people in, a specially made perception filter allowed the invites to only be seen by people like the individuals that he had met at the Studio, didn't want any old shmuck walk in. They'd take the invite, seeing a chance for riches and gold, plus a great archaeological find, and come!
FOOLPROOF!
Though if they died, no biggie, more would come. Challenges were set, things were ready, he checked with the Construct guarding the Castle below, "Will this be good enough? If not I'll just tantrum and level the place."
He received nothing from below, "Best work on a plan B while I await my guests. Should be fun."

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?Hau’oli Alleyway
The stunned silence gave Colton plenty of opportunity to think about what he said. “I’m not implying that you have to keep humanity from tearing itself at the seams,” he clarified. “I’m saying you have to learn how to fend for yourself - on your own terms - so that when we do, you won’t miss out on much.
“I might need to make some posters describing that,” he realized. “And I haven’t the foggiest clue where to find a photocopier.
“How do I know I can trust you to not fall back on humanity?” He decided.

'''Phoenix"': ...is that a camera?
-Phoenix sighs.-
Phoenix: Okay. New plan. Frank, try to blast the cameras, if you can. Turns out I gotta do this a lot faster.
-Phoenix puts away his phone and exits the room. He dashes down the hall and looks for any important rooms. He enters one that says-
-Phoenix executes a lot of pranks, including but not limited to:
- Filling the salt shaker with sugar
- Filling the sugar container with salt
- Flipping a table and superglueing it to the ground
- Writing "THIS IS FOR THE GOLDEENS" on the wall with ketchup
- Unplugging the fridge
- Replacing the coffee beans with ice cream
-Phoenix admires his work, and runs down the hall to find another hiding spot, probably in the bathroom.-
D is reviewing PEF Every's files.
"Hmmmm -puffpuff-"
He leans back and closes his eyes momentarily before snapping them back open.
"Gottit."
He takes out his dossier and starts flipping through it.

"...Que?"
He knocks on PEF Every's door.

Aulstyne: ... Apologies, I'm used to having to make my points audible to others. I was not conscientious to any previous trauma you might have.

<And?>
<...I don't know. Checkmate said you might care. Landorus knows I don't.>
<We're trapped in another universe and I'm stuck on clerical duty. Notify me if they get too close, but I can't imagine that one escaped prisoner is a big deal.>

<Have you been able to get in contact with Every?>

-Susan and Latias were there, in one of the other rooms, the tour had come to an end and now they were discussing where to take the music next. It took a minute or so for a messy redhead face to peek out of the doorframe-
Latias: 'Ey Keytar, mind going out for a few ho- What are you staring at?
I've been invited to something. Might take a few days...
Latias: Oh. Oh? Well. Good luck and stay safe? Just uh... Don't come back too quick alright, wouldn't mind you staying out for a few hours at least.
Susan: -Half-shouting from the other room/offscreen- Call us when you get back!
-Plucking the invitation from the table he got up and started grabbing his bag and the things he'd taken out of it-
Alright, I'm headed out. Have fun you two.
