"WHAT DID YOU BECOME A VAMPIRE WHILE I WAS OUT?"

"FINE COME IN, IF YOU BITE ME THOUGH, GODBERT IS GONNA PUNCH YOU, PROBABLY"

-Godbert, who has not stacked so many things on top of the piano it defies belief, turns to the doorway-

Godbert: {ENTER, SMALL ONE}

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

Floccesy Ranch:

"What distraction? Chopper doesn't know any distracting moves...but that does give me an idea: Chopper, let the Riolu make the first move, then show him a thing or two about Payback!" Mark said in response before the Riolu started with a quick attack in the form of a dash kick: Not the best move all things considered, but it still managed to deal some more damage to Chopper, whose health was still in the green.

<"You're gonna pay for that!"> The Machop said in the shared Mon Language before using Payback, channeling purple energy around him before dealing out a 6-hit combo that qualified as one attack, starting with two punches, two hooks, one elbow jab, and finishing with a roundhouse kick to the chest that managed to deal some damage to the wild pokemon. Both combatants had sustained minor damage, but were still in green HP fighting condition.

-Phoenix ponders.-

Phoenix: Alright, Larry and Frank are on Destruction, Jitters and Harvey are on Distraction, Jackie on Destruction and Finnegan on Distraction. I shall also be on Distraction with Satan's Toothbrush here.

-Larry pats his firework-launching concoction as he says Satan's Toothbrush.-

-Kaito is now right beside Jacob.-

Kaito: Not a vampire! Well, I guess technically I've been an Aura Drain specialist for a few years but it's not that kind of vampire. Nice UB Absorption by the way. Or just "UB Abs".

Saffron City Pokemon Center

Deziree: Okay, I've got hammers, concussion blasters, a pack full of Joltik, and some EMP grenades. I suggest you be careful with those, they can knock out any electronic that's not properly shielded. Oh! And a plasma blade, but that's mine.

Dune: Don't worry, Echo. I've got this down pat.

-He opens the package and shows the group the Tyranitarite.-

Dune: I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea what the end result will be, but I do know that Ajax's anger is laser focused.

-Ludmilla blinks as she leans over to look around Lina, and waves.-

Ludmilla: Hey!

-he removes the sheet-

Ever: And for my next trick I will make the Radio Tower disappear.

PEFE!Every: Hush. (to Echo) Thanks, mom.

Ever: We all know you're not being sarcastic when you say that.

PEFE!Every: Say what?

Ever: You called her mom again.

PEFE!Every: I did no such thing.

-Ever just giggles-

-A certain someone peeks out from behind Lina-

Neon: Uh... Hi Ludmilla...

-to PEFE!Every-

She's your mom?

"EM Ps? What do I gotta do to protect these things?" He asked, drawing a Pokeball and his phone.

"And it can't be anything illusory," he began. "I gotta direct that focus into my firepower," he explained as he summoned his Dark Pulse Orbitars before dissipating them with a wave of his hands, summoning a lanyard with a badge.

"Team Destruction", it read.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Shaun: "Well, you have this covered. I doubt 2000 pounds of 20 foot tall metal alien would fit in the sewer anyways."

-He sets down his backpack and pulls out several black batteries and an odd black glove. It looks like some insulated material, on top of which is some black metal plating, one of the batteries, some switches, and wires which run down to the "hand", where both the wires and plating thicken. He slides it onto his right arm and adjusts the straps, flexing his hand experimentally.-

Beowulf: ~Do we show mercy or leave no survivors?~

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Saffron PMC

Right. Cool... So how are we going to avoid causing the collapse of a significant chunk of the city when we blow the facility up?

Joyous Forest

Sir! You are no longer in possession of the blade. Maybe take a moment to shake off the obvious corruption it inflicted on you!

-Pent holds back a little on firing Gasters because he needs to heal peoplemons up (including himself)-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Saffron City Pokemon Center

Dune: Actually that's a good question. As far as I can tell, Templars are born killers. If you can capture one, do, but don't risk yourself over it. If you have to take one down, don't hold back. Also, Pent raises a good point. We want to destroy THEIR infrastructure, not the city's. Don't go knocking down support columns just because it looks fun.

-Recognition dawns on Ludmilla's face.-

Ludmilla: Neon!

-She runs over and pulls her sibling into a bear hug.-

Ludmilla: I thought you were dead! Zinc, and Titanium, and- and Chlorine... I- I thought...

-She starts crying into Neon's shoulder.-

-Dezi kneels down and puts a hand on Ludmilla's shoulder.-

Blitz: "Guess I'll take a blaster, and maybe a hammer if there's extras"

-To Beowolf- "Oy, we're not murderers." -He pauses at Dezi's statement, and seems a little less thrilled at the concept of helping- "...Better them then us if KO or disable isn't an option though..."

Saffron

-Neon hugs back and also starts crying-

Neon: I... I'm so glad you're safe too, Ludmilla...

Lina: He really wanted to see you.

-to the others-

And yes, avoid being lethal... Unless necessary.

Floccesy Ranch:

Interestingly enough, the wild Riolu wouldn't respond with an offensive attack, but rather use Bulk Up to provide a temporary boost to their offense and defense. Whether this was meant to try and intimidate their attacker or prepare themselves for their next move was up for debate, although it was more than likely a combination of the two.

"Focus your energy and get ready to use revenge next turn. The only way we're going to catch this thing is if we beat them down!" Mark then commanded before Chopper nodded in acknowledgement and began focusing on his target while also tightening his muscles and emitting a low battle cry. The Riolu would then start its next turn with another force palm, however Chopper actually managed to dodge the attack before using revenge in the form of a swift lower shin kick that cause the Riolu to fall face-first on the ground. It would recover, but not as quickly as it had moved before, nearly at the orange state of its HP.

Phoenix: This job just got 29.345% less cool. Deadly force is why I live. It's, like, my prime mission directive. Right behind selling ice cream and telling people to fuck off.

Colt felt into his pocket, grabbing the spare Ultra Ball he always brought with him, because you never know. Whether he had misconstrued their words was currently unknown.

Don't kill unless we have to... jeez... he contemplated, banishing the lanyard and looking a little distraught. "Something something rehab?" He offered. "I dunno, I'm just trying to be a little hopeful."

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Beowulf: *to Dune* ~Understood.~

*to Blitz* ~I never said we were. Murder is the act of a coward. Killing in self-defense is not.~

Shaun: "I might as well bring my whole bag then."

-Shaun addresses Colton.-

Shaun: "You're right. Everyone deserves a chance to atone."

-Echo chuckles-

Echo: I didn't hear a thing.

-She most definitely heard a thing.-

-Meanwhile, Evan is scrolling through his options-

Evan: Let's see... if I want to cause a lot of destruction, I could go Bad Dog or Armbeetle... Armbeetle could also hold his own against a bunch of people— wait, no, they're Psychics... Ironhead might be good if I'm on Team Distraction...

-Anyone unfamiliar with him might be curious what he's talking about — and also might be curious about the strange armband on his wrist.-

-perhaps the last person who should be aware of Evan is currently peering over his shoulder at the Omniband, having fled from the awkwardness of once again calling someone "Mom"-

PEFE!Every: Is that a new type of Pokeball?

-Evan yelps and whips around flailing, narrowly avoiding smacking PEFE!Every in the face with the Omniband in the process.-

Evan: AH! Hey, didn't your mom ever tell you not to look over people's shoulders?!

-He pauses, stares at PEFE!Every for a bit in confusion, then shakes his head and brings his arm back up.-

Evan: ...Anyway, this isn't a Poke Ball. It's a modified version of an ancient artifact that allows transformation. This one... well, it's able to transform me into one of seven different Pokemon depending on whatever I want it to pick!

-He pulls his arm back down.-

Evan: ...And no, you two are not allowed to try it out.

Blitz: -At Beowulf- "Good, long as we're on the same page there"

-To Phoenix- "Dude, seriously? These guys need to be stopped but they still peoplemon, the legal system should be what decides whether they get to live or die not some vigilante group with a vendetta"

-PEFE!Every, while she's not fast per se, is certainly fairly reflexive, and ducks well out of range of being smacked-

PEFE!Every: I don't remember my mom telling me anything until pretty recently...

-she coughs-

PEFE!Every: Anyway, I've been a Pokemon before, and I don't have any real desire to repeat the experience. How does it work?

Nurse: "How are you feeling, Doctor Weiss?"

Natalie: "... Simultaneously helpless and yet whole again."

Nurse: "Hm." -she writes a few things down.-

Natalie: "How long will bedrest be?"

Nurse: "It should only take a few days to a week, then you'll be able to acclimate yourself with your new limbs."

Natalie: "Thank you."

Nurse: "Can I get anything for you?"

Natalie: "... My laptop."

Nurse: -sighs- "If you insist."

A very familiar yet subtly different black-haired almost red-eyed woman with a cybernetic left arm below the elbow, wearing a pantsuit without the coat and the left sleeve rolled up to show her cybernetic, her hair tied back into a neat ponytail looks out of the window of a grand office over the skyline of [Berlin].

A secretary enters. [German]"Doctor Weiss, your helicopter is on the roof."[/German] Natalie turns to leave, the secretary following after. [German]"The quarterly projections are on here. Stocks have been up over the past week, and our first mass-production run is looking to be on-schedule for Mid-2018."[/German]

Natalie: [German]"Good, good. And the Board, are they happy?"[/German]

Secretary: [German"As happy as the Board can ever be, Doctor."[/German]

Natalie: -laughs- [German]"What would Daedalus be without a scheming board?"[/German]

Secretary: [German]"A normal company?"[/German] Natalie smirks. [German]"Enjoy your flight, Doctor!"[/German]

Natalie: [German]"The flight I will enjoy. What waits when we land I won't."[/German]

She puts on earmuffs, heading into the helicopter, which takes off shortly thereafter.
