ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

~Smushed or not they can still be blended for a fine brew of coffee,~ Ziltoid pointed out, floating over to EJ.

After a minute or two, the Guardians turn their heads away and continue patrolling off further, better take this opportunity to get moving.

Ger Desert

Cynthia: ~See? It's like some mons. Panic and they'll attack you. Stay calm and you'll be safe. I think.~

Phaz: "Better keep on moving I guess?"

He goes back to walking.

Santalune

Cris: <Well... Those ruins sound like a thing...>

Tsubasa: <Inevitable, you say?>

The Harbringer: <I've saved my world multiple times. I slayed Alduin, the Worldeater. I destroyed a guild of assassins and murderers. I ended a cult of blooddrinkers who wanted to plunge Tamriel into eternal darkness. I ended the life of the First, who wished for ultimate power and control. I ended Skyrim's civil war. And now I'm the Harbringer of the Companions. I have not known peace since the war started...but I am content.>

Vilkas: <Should we really be telling them this? We don't know where their allegaince lies, and->

The Harbringer: <Hold your tongue, Vilkas!>

-Vilkas stops.-

Vilkas: <My apologies, Harbringer.>

Farkas: <And I'm the oaf...>

Unova Route 5

-Somewhere within the tall grass, a Patrat comes skidding to a halt, still clutching the glowing object in its paws.-

Patrat: <At last... at long last, I have it! With the power of the Information Rectangle in my hands, I shall RULE THE WILDS! Soon all of Unova will know and fear the name of Patrick the->

Lucius: There he is! Get him, Kirk!

Patrat: <...Ah, crap.>

-It is promptly blown away by an Aura Sphere, the phone in its paws landing in Lucius's hand.-

Lucius: Finally. Of course it'd be just my luck to get my phone snatched on my first day back here...

-He checks his messages.-

Ger Desert

Slowly taking in a massive breath so as not to rouse their attention again, Colton resumed walking alongside Phaz and Cynthia.

He did his best to silence his breathing so they wouldn't be brought to one more halt.

From the path, a inviting voice called out, "Come closer~. I await~"

As the three approached, a city became visible, made from sandstone and guarded by Salazzles wearing body armor outside.

<Sounds like quite the tale, we've been on some adventures ourselves, but that's for another day,> Snakeye responded.

Silas was looking through the newsfeed for any new info, so far, nothing. Ah well, only a little bit before food came.

The beer was set down in front of Harbinger and his associates.

Ger Desert

Cynthia: ~Alas, we leave the mechs for new peoples. See that was a good idea.~

Phaz: "A... Salazzle City situed in desert? That's a mouthful..."

Joyous Forest

Spinme: "wot"

Coldplay: <wot>

-Everyone except for Vilkas takes a sip of beer.-

Farkas: <Not bad.>

Aela: <Agreed. I'd rather some Honningbrew, though.>

Shaun: "That's not suspicous."

Jessica: <I wish I could see the spooky ghost man.>

Santalune

-Cris starts eating the pizza-

Tsubasa: <That certainly sounds like a lot, yeah.>

The Guards turned to the group approaching, <HALT! None may ent->

They paused and their jaws dropped. <Humans!>

The two ran up to Colton and Phaz began inspecting them, <Actual humans!>

A figure appeared in everyone's sight, it clearly wasn't there, it depicted a ink like creature with several pieces of guardians stuck throughout its body. "I await your challenge. It will be fun."

The rest of the pizzas are delivered and Silas happily begins, burning his hand a little, "Ah! I always forget that they are fresh hot!"

Hacks however is fine holding his, ~Pokemon endurance!~

Amber digs into hers and Tae and Snakeye just calmly wait for theirs to cool. Snakeye turns to the party, <What's next? Trying to find a way home?>

Joyous Forest

Spinme: "...Hey, is that the boss taunting us?"

Ger Desert

Phaz: "Heeeeey... Hello, we're human indeed."

Cynthia: ~Oh yeah, it's been a long time since they looked at real life humans.~

"Yeaaaaaah. How's all of you?"

Shaun: "I kinda wish we were about to fight Darkrai himself."

-Everyone picks up a slice.-

Aela: <Yes. Somehow.>

The Harbringer: <This is different than what I've done. This isn't like interdimensional travel. This is bigger than that.>

Ger Desert

The Unovan shrugged, pulling out and fiddling with his headphones. “What do you need from us or our ‘mons?” He asked, drawing Sylveon’s Great Ball from his pocket.

Joyous Forest

Hyp: <...Should be fun.>

Santalune Pub

Tsubasa: <On our end, we should probably let our parents know where we are. We can probably handle stuff from there.>

Ersatz Alliance

Gabe: Anywhere you want!

Santalune

Arika: Ever heard of the multiverse?

Ensorcelled Emolga - Last night

Jacob: -Leans forward, smirking- "Everything. Knock yourself out! I probably will!"

-He gets himself a drink and listens in silence-

"Wait. Ultra what now? Faller? I've been out of the loop, care to fill me in?"

Nimbasa - Today

-Jacob wakes up having been allegedly married to a statue, dressed in what's best explained as a tight fighting bell sleeved shirt with an open chest and bell bottom jeans with actual bells on the cuffs, wearing a truly irresponsible amount of eyeliner-

Unova Route 5

-A Pawniard leaps out to join in this wonderful game of capture the information rectangle-

-Alas, it only has knives for hands, so this concept of tagging and grabbing might not work well-

Unova Route 5

-It really doesn't.-

Lucius: ...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

-Bad news: his phone is now broken. Good news: it's very hard to lose something that's pinned to your hand!-

Unova Route 5

Pokey: <I got it!!>

-He looks at the hand-

<... I want the glowing square of knowledge. I tagged it. I respectfully request you, as per the rules, let go and relinquish it to me.>

Unova Route 5

Lucius: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH IT'S NOT EVEN GLOWING ANYMORE MORON IT'S BROKEN ALSO IT'S LITERALLY NAILED TO MY HAND AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

-He tries flailing. That's a good trick.-

-Ever sticks his head out of a bush-

Ever: Excuse me, but could you keep it down just a bit? I'm trying to conduct busi—

...Oh. Hey Lucius. Did you lose your phone?

Ensorcelled Emolga — Last Night

-Kaito orders a drink of their own-

Kaito: All right, where do I begin... basically, Ultra Wormholes are... wormholes, linking across time and space similar to the Entralink. Sometimes they spit out really confused and really dangerous Pokemon called Ultra Beasts, sometimes they suck up unsuspecting people and spit them out elsewhere as what Interpol calls Fallers. Anabel, Frontier Brain Anabel, is one. The process fucks up your Aura a bit and makes Ultra Beasts seek you out in hopes of finding a way home, and someone called the weird Aura change Faller Sauce for some reason and somehow the name stuck, I don't know.

Nimbasa City — Present

-They smile and send it, completely confident in the phone's ability to deliver the message successfully because there's no way Lucius would have broken his in such a short amount of time.-

-They're around.-

The Irony — Yesterday

Scarlette: Yeah...

-She stops, and looks at PEFE!Every's face again-

Scarlette: ...You look vaguely familiar.

Psyche jots down some notes. ~I see... do you think these Ultra Space Portals have anything to do with other forms of fast travel, like teleporting, or your windy thing?~

As if on cue, a note lands in Kaito's drink. Soaked and illegible, it is still totally obvious what it is by the myriad of stamps on it.

Unova Route 5

-Despite being short, Pawniard actually have some heft to them-

-So this flailing ends up flinging the Pawniwad and phone like a trebuchet at Ever. However, because Lucius is much less impressive than a siege engine, and the Pawniard is less than 90 kilograms, it goes much less than over 300 meters. More like, 2-

Pokey: <Sir, please, you're overreacting. I'm sure you can just sharpen your hands like anyone else and you'll be just fine.>

Ensorcelled Emolga — Last Night

Jacob: "... Well. I. Huh. That's odd. I do know of Ultra Beasts. At least the term. But huh. Interesting. And that is a very us thing to do to an awful term."

Ersatz Alliance

The white scarf not seeming to be working its magic, the Shiny Fire-type replaced it, accepting the fact that there may not be any way she’d be able to pull off a prank with forcing a shapeshift on anyone in her trainer’s team.

Noticing how down she looked, Colton put the scarf on and nuzzled her, only for the gesture-

<Yow!> She yelped. <Sharp,> she explained. <One of these has to work the other way,> she reasoned. Colton took the scarf off and shoved it in his jacket.

“I’ll be at the studios if or when you find one that can turn you human,” he offered as he entered the rift.

GAME FREAK - Unova

The elevator opened, Colton looking at the offices. Everyone was deathly focused, a right surprise from the studios’ standard lax atmosphere. Morimoto - “The Boss” - and the one who only called himself “Snorlax” were talking something about reboots.

Sighing, Colton approached. “The Entralink hasn’t crashed,” he explained. “From what I hear, it’s been sabotaged,” he clarified. Snorlax looked at him like a Miltank looks at an oncoming train.

“Just... thought I’d let you know. Also, there’s rifts in time, and the universe hasn’t torn itself apart, so we should be fine.” He continued, both of them staring at him.

“Well, what are you waiting for?” Snorlax asked. “Go confront who’s responsible!”

“I would do this myself,” Morimoto admitted. “but we have to keep working at it from here,” he explained. “We made a promise to our fans, and now we’re in over our heads.

“Good luck, Rever.” He complimented as Colton returned to the elevator, descending to the lobby before dashing to find his apartment complex.
