ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Haunter: <What's a dinosaur? And what are these?>

-he knocks on a building-

-a window opens-

Deskman: The agriculture office is closed Saturday and Sunday, please return tomorrow.

-a window closes-

Haunter: -stares-

Lilac grins. "There's not a place I can't get into my dear. Money, power, influence, all are naught without a little charm. And charm I have in excess."

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

-Ever is currently clinging somewhat uncomfortably to the Haunter's finger-

Ever: Uh, that is a building. It's a structure made out of various substances to protect us from the elements.

That is a bureaucrat. It's a person made out of various rules to protect us from chaos.

And this is a dinosaur.

-Ever holds up a somewhat sketchy drawing of a T-Rex, since he had to pin the paper down with a knee instead of steadying it with his other hand, and furthermore had limited range of motion because his arm was in use for clinging-

PEFE!Every: Oh. Um, I don't have that, I think. Sorry.

-she blinks-

PEFE!Every: Did you want Ever for something? He's...somewhere. I dunno where.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Lilac laughs. "That young man continues to elude me. I merely wished to give him a gift." She holds out a parcel containing an arm carved from ivory. "No metal whatsoever. Perfect for... sensitive constitutions. I simply figured you might know where to find him. Shame."

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Haunter: -glances at the drawing- <That looks kinda like I used to look if you close my eye and forget color exists.>

<I think.>

<It was a long time ago.>

<Sheesh. You'd think a volcano in the middle of the ocean would be good for a nap but nooo, you wake up and the [unintelligable prehistoric mammalian Pokémon] have gone and filled it with sand and trees and buildings and bureaucrats...>

Forte: So what's going on? Did you guys find Celeste? Does Piano want to let me borrow her Switch so I can play the new Sonic?

Stella: <Don't worry, she's playing with her friends so she can practice magic.>

Icicle: <Oh, and she came back and apologized to us about breaking the sky. Poor girl... she thought I was gonna punish her with the airship. I'd never do that!>

Leaflet: <No, you'd just send them into the Cold Zone.>

Icicle: <That's not a punishment!>

Forte: Okay, okay, good, then she's...

-...-

-Forte pauses a moment as the realization washes over them-

Forte: Breaking... the sky?

Marine: <Yeah, you might want to look outside.>

-Forte runs to the nearest window and stares at the fractal pattern in the air-

Forte: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Tapu Cafe

Alonya: -nods- I agree wholeheartedly.

Route 12

Ilya: <Let's see here... I'm a Legendary, I was helping you escape, I actually work for an organization called OWCA, and they're the people that broke the multiverse, what do you expect?>

Contact Me!

-Gabrielle is also in the breakroom, drinking her own tea while Serena munches on a snack cake.-

Gabrielle: "Well you see, Serena..."

-Suddenly Kyurem and escape pod.-

Gabrielle: "...I take it that wasn't supposed to happen."

Serena: :O

-Gabrielle sighs.-

Gabrielle: "Why is it we open that portal and everything begins to go downhill?"

-She stands up, places her teacup and saucer in the sink, and leaves. Serena stuffs the rest of her cake in her mouth and flies after Gabrielle.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

PEFE!Every: Oh, um, okay...

-she takes the parcel-

PEFE!Every: Wait, um, how did you know that I know him? Or that I would be here? Or...

-she hiccups-

Ever: Well, that's naps for you. I once missed the defeat of a guy who was trying to rewrite the universe.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Phoenix: So what next? And what should I name this Heracross?

Lilac giggles. "Let's just say I've been keeping tabs on you two. Among others. Unfortunately, the young man has proven difficult to locate the last few days, and I needed to meet with you anyway."

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Outside Tapu Cafe

Kaito: ...Thank you.

-They look inside again.-

Kaito: ...One more thing, before we head back in.

-They pull out their phone-

Kaito: Keep in touch?

Haunter: <Were they going to bring back the dinosaurs?>

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

PEFE!Every: Um, that's kind of really creepy and worrying...also, why?

Ever: Nah. Anyone can do that these days.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Route 12 Unova

Ilya: <For the Heracross, gauge its personality first. For what to do next, I suggest get the J-Team to find you. My work here is done!>

-She flies off-

Tapu Cafe

-Alonya obliges-

Contact Me!

Haunter: <...well why didn't you lead with the good news?>

<Take me to your scaly leader, mammal.>

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Mecha rolls in, "Gabrielle! They got away! Emergency meeting now!"

From further down the hall, "THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN ALLOWED TO SIMPLY CRUSH ALL OPPOSITION!"

Phoenix: Huh.

-He texts the J-Team-

-He then takes out the Heracross. It seems fidgety and nervous.-

Phoenix: Jitters.

-He returns Jitters and takes out Harvey.-

Phoenix: Take me to Aspertia.

-They fly off to Aspertia City, where-

-they have a smooth landing.-

Outside Tapu Cafe

-After they exchange phone numbers, Kaito grins-

Kaito: All right, let's go wake these two goofballs up. Can you believe I fell for both of them in the past?

-They head inside.-

Lilac smiles. "Don't worry, I don't wis any of you harm. Let's just say, I have a vested interesting in ensuring your wellbeing. And I should also give you a warning. You're playing a dangerous game, Every. We don't do well playing with Iron."

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Tapu Cafe

Alonya: -chuckles- You tell me.

-She follows-

Gabrielle: "I gathered as much."

Serena: <Well that's no good.>

Gabrielle: "Could you find Michael and Aurora for me?"

Serena: <Right away, ma'am!>

-She flies off.-

Gabrielle: "Zelel? I know you're listening."

-A white and gold Porygon-Z manifests from...somewhere.-

Zelel: <I'm here.>

Gabrielle: "Well, let us go."

-They follow Mecha and Omega.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Ever: Yeah...it didn't go down that way.

Uh, you know buildings? We burrito primates have other things made out of substances, and in a general way we're good at using them to assert ourselves as at least a tenuously-dominant species planetwide.

Sorry to, uh, burst your bubble.

-PEFE!Every blinks more-

PEFE!Every: ...You're not my mother, are you? I mean, not that I have any strong reason to believe my mother has any interest in my wellbeing, but you seem somewhat capricious and disinterested, which feel like traits she might have.

...I'm very drunk right now, I think. Thank you for the warning? Maybe? Is it really a warning if it conveys fairly limited information?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Phoenix: Need to get stronger if I wanna be useful to the J-Team.

-He walks forward, spotting a blue-haired trainer with glasses, tossing and catching a Pokéball.-

Cheren: So. A challenger.
