ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Maggie looks at the text-

Maggie: "Okay, think I know where we'll be a bit more precisely..."

"...Though guess you saw it too, huh?"

Sholto: <...Right.>

"We'll do this and hopefully whenever he hears how it went, he can be proud."

-He just plods his way over to the warehouse district-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Room 33

Jared: -leers at Mason- Hey, I can slap with the best of them just not as well as Volpe so we're clearly even!

-To Volpe- Hey, a stealth mission is great too you kno-

-he pauses at the mention of the beheading-

...Brutal.

Jean: How should we go about detain this scientist anyaway? How much force shoud we use? Should we kill him if necessary?

Driftveil

-With a -blip- a Kadabra drops Team Umbra in a literal heap near Kaito and Anabel-

Lina: Hi Kaito. Hi Anabel.

Izaya: You're welcome, Lucius.

"How do you know Tagg is with this Kaito character?" He asked.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Maggie: "I don't, but 1) I do know that's where the raid's happening and A) that should be what Tagg was talking about for us going to."

-Shaun tightens his legs and taps the Rapidash's shoulder, sending them to a stop.-

Shaun(?): "Do I know you?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

"The technological advancements are vast, I would rather suggest we simply subdue and remove the scientist. They can still be put to great use," JD argued.

-They can't all be illusionary kid. They gotta have some set of rules.-

"Hey one of you has a Construct of Jester on you and may be a traitor. Have fun with that kay~?"

"Block. Now."

Hacks brings his arms up and takes the brunt of the attack, he is still standing, ~Very good. I felt that.~

"Aura sphere. Ground. Now."

Hacks charged and lobbed a sphere at the dirt between him and Vilkas, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Approach and use Metal Claw."

From the dust came a mix between "snk" and "shween" as Hacks darted out, two large metal blades extending from his paws.

-Brie stares at Jean-

Brie: Whoa, no.

-she waves her hands agitatedly-

Brie: I'm not gonna say Lex is a great guy. He's kind of a coward, he's too conflict-averse to get himself out of working for Neo-Flare, and he held me and a friend of mine captive for, like, a month once. But, like, he could have pretty easily killed us both, or reported us to someone who would have, and he didn't. I don't think he agrees with them, and I think if we can get him out alive, he'd be really useful to us. Also, I don't like the idea of killing someone I played Brigoo with. That's just a me thing.

-she cuts off, and glances sheepishly at Volpe-

Brie: Uh...sorry. Lex and I have met before. Just sort of...yeah.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

<Makes more sense than your leaps in logic,> Sylveon decided, having left her 'ball a short while ago for some fresh air. <'Are you connected to the Eon Dragons? I want to capture you because I love to hate you,> she recalled.

Colton returned her and stuffed her 'ball under his scarf. "That."

-Shun still looks to be brimming with both nausea and anger.-

Shun: ...He has still placed himself in service to an ideology which advocates acts of brutality such as these. An ideology which would see myself and millions of others wiped from the world if it were given the chance. That's going to colour my opinion of him.

-He loosens his grip on his revolver.-

Shun: Nevertheless, I will ensure that he is brought in and treated in the legal manner, without any unnecessary harm to his person.

Gregson: <Really?>

Shun: ...The definition of "necessary" depends on the circumstances.

Trans rights are human rights. JK Rowling preaches hate. If you sit at a table with five bigots and say nothing, there are now six bigots.

Maggie: "Uh... were those two sentences at all connected? Because if they were I have some concerns."

Room 33

Verax: "..."

Ezran: "... Verax...?"

Verax: "I'm ready to do this. When you all are."

Jeremiah: "Always ready boss."

Weskel: "Y-Yeah! I'm r-ready to go!"

Gordes: "YEAAAAH!" -He bounces- "Le's do this thing!!"

Ezran: -She places a hand on Verax's shoulder- "We can do this. Don't worry."

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Bridge

"One of them involved a Mimikyu that was once a Latios and the other involved a Delphox who hated me for wanting to confirm he was unhurt and then pulling him aside to speak with him.

And these things occurred less than a week apart. I don't know what the HELL happened to make life interesting now, but..."

Maggie: "Oh, okay. Concern averted."

Yeah, from what I've seen of the guy, killing him's unnecessary unless for some reason he makes it so. All we need is a name for this little group, and we're done here.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Room 33

-Mason winces at the description of Platchkey's fate.-

Mason: So... logically, those of us on Team Stealth would probably best have some hint of being Cipher too, even if it's a total lie. That way, whoever we run into thinks it's all one organization doing it, and not a bunch of J-Teamers with Cipher scapegoats. Or some other bad-PR outcome. Right?

Driftveil City

Kaito: Hey, guys. Glad you could make it.

-They check their texts-

Kaito: Oh, right, the sword. Any updates on it?

Anabel: Unfortunately, the Aether cell it was contained in had a great amount of Wormhole energy and a significant lack of the weapon. We're doing our best to track it down.

Kaito: WHAT THE FU—

Sholto: "Hrm, well... I got rid of the uniform I used when infiltrating Cipher pretty quidkly after it fell and I feel like I'd be more helpful like this than in a uniform anyway."

Bridge

They were probably getting close to the end of the bridge. Hell, Colton didn't know. The dude was texting.

Room 33

Jean: ...Given my own history I'm gonna side with green girl over the runt. We get this guy back alive and see if there's any way we can reason with him. I'm ready.

Jared: So am I. Though Tagg and Shadows have good points.

Speaking of teleporting into heaps, Masako, Tamamo, and Astolfo arrive somewhere in Drifveil in one. A very-prepared-to-strike and very confused Artoria a short distance away.

Artoria: <...>

The Trio: <..."

Artoria: <I could have handled it.>

Masako: <She could have handled it.>

Astolfo nods.

Tamamo: "...☆"

Artoria: <...>

Masako: <Don't question it.>

Artoria: <... I'm questioning it.>

Masako: <Well, it's your sanity.>

Artoria: <... If you say so.>

Tamamo: "♡"

Artoria: <...>

Masako: <...>

Artoria: <... I see your point.>

-Pent waves at the fellows and shrugs-

Sword could be anywhere by now. Given what Wormholes do it might have been chucked out in deep space for all we know.

-He yawns slightly, rolls his shoulders and checks his phone-

Oh... Is this the raid with the goose-y suit-a-lors? Little bird told me a team was being made.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Volpe darkly chuckles ate Brie, Shun and Tagg.

Volpe: So he's a man who's allegiance is ruled by expedience at his core, then? He could be prudent to you if you get him out relatively unscathed then, could even turn the tide against his former employees. But whether you Nuremberg him or Von Braun him after you get him is up to you~

Volpe looks over to Tagg, a stream of smoke billowing out of his nose.

Volpe: I thought y'all just gonna call yourself "Cipher" or "Cipher Delta Squadron" or somesuch. But if you wanna give a cutesy name to this lil dealie here like "The Fash Bashers" or "Lex Retrieval Squad" or something like that. Be my guest~

He then looks to JD

Volpe: That's the point, but you're a fool if you don't expect to face some pushback to your presence.

Volpe turns back to the map and takes the cigarillo from his mouth.

Volpe: Now then, back to the plan.

Ending here because I'm tired as FUCK and need sleep!

I'm having to learn to pay the price

-Team Umbra separate themselves from the pile and Umbra approaches Kaito and Anabel-

Umbra: Have we located the facility yet?

Shaun: "The construct or the personmon?"

-Vilkas takes the Metal Claw on his shield and more-or-less shrugs it off.-

Farkas: <Not bad.>

-Oddly enough, the Harbringer's looking at Hacks with...pride? Nostalgia?-
