Hard Boiled Detective Since 1985

Blitz: -At Bad Dog- "Because training as seven different pokemon is a pain?"

Psyche boops Every's nose. ~Silly~ Just stick close to me, and watch the fireworks. o3o It's been a while since I've gotten to MIND CRUSH someone.~

"Hear, hear!" Colt returned. "Balancing a team of six and an occupation is hell in a handbasket! Seven is just drowning, and then someone hands you a Pokemon," he compared.

"Oh, training 'as'?" He corrected. "Yeah, no thanks. Mostly just because I don't really like getting the shit kicked out of me."

Floccesy Ranch -> Aspertia City:

"I understand, thanks for the help," Mark simply replied before he headed off westward,arriving at the city limits of Aspertia in roughly 15 minutes.

"Huh, seems a little small for a city. If it weren't for the gym I probably wouldn't even bother showing up here..." The young man commented, heading straight for the Pokemon Center without even bothering to look for tourist attractions. Afterall, he was here for one purpose.

Living The Fever Dream

-PEFE!Every is booped-

Ever: ...So yeah, I don't think you're gonna be getting anything out of her for a while.

-it does seem likely. She's currently staring into space, looking stunned-

Ever: Oops.

-he shrugs-

Ever: Well, uh, you know, treat her well. She's new to this whole thing. Anyway, I should probably be getting ready myself~ Tell me when she snaps out of it~

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-two siblings are walking through the park together, seeing the sights; they're both snacking on snow cones-

Fortis: But what about Piano?

Pianis: Remember what the doctor said? She's suffering from exhaustion. She'll be okay, she just needs rest.

Fortis: But I wanted to help her get better!

Pianis: She doesn't need you to be with her all the time. I know you missed her a lot while you were gone, but you can spend some time with me too, can't you?

-Fortis sighs-

Fortis: Uh huh.

-Pianis pats Fortis on the head-

Pianis: Relax. She'll be fine.

Fortis: Okay.

Pianis: I'd ask if you want to go on another ride on Siren, but she hasn't been around lately. You have any idea where she might be?

-Fortis shakes her head-

Pianis: Strange. She's not really the type to suddenly disappear like that.

Fortis: I dunno, maybe she had something important to do.

Pianis: Yeah, maybe... hey, what's that on your arm?

Fortis: Huh?

Pianis: That bandage. Did you get hurt?

Fortis: Oh, um, no! Condy cut me the other day when she was perching on it. It's just a little cut, don't worry.

Pianis: You sure? Maybe I should take a look at it.

-he moves his hand toward the bandage, and suddenly has a Mandibuzz in his face-

Condy: <Hey, back off! She said it's fine!>

Pianis: Whoa! Okay, okay, I get the message.

-Fortis pats Condy on the head-

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

Stormchaser

-The J trio exits the Ersatz Alliance, along with Gabe-

Jackie: That was fun.

Jean: Thanks... Gabe was it?

Gabe: Yeah! And you're welcome!

Jared: Wanna hang out with us, Gabe? We're looking for the J-Team!

Gabe:' Oh, uh, sure! Though... I think you've already found them.

-he gestures to their surroundings. Everyone looks around in awe-

Jared: ...They have an AIRSHIP?

Gabe: Yeah, I was surprised too!

Joyous Forest

"HOLY SHIT I cannot believe that actually-"

Cue Frenzy Plant.

"-Shitshitshitshitshit" Daydre starts sprinting over to Tabitha, getting ready to recall her, or heal her, or anything to help.

Tabitha dodges as best she can, but eventually the vines catch up to her and she's knocked out. Daydre manages to grab her and by extension the sword.

"... Shit shit I'm sorry I should've known he'd get angry and lash out and I didn't train you enough and fu-"

Tabitha: <You don't have to apologize.. Just like, give me a big bag of Skittynip later or something...>

Daydre nods and recalls her, before turning to the sword. I don't have any powers to speak of so maybe it's fine for me to touch it..? She hesitantly grabs the hilt and starts cautiously backing away from Dekarule.

".. Okay, now what do I do?"

off the shits

-Pianis is awoken by a call on his Xtransceiver-

Pianis: Hello?

Forte: Hi. Uh, sorry if I woke you up, it's just that I—

-Forte is immediately pushed out of the screen by a familiar face-

Fortis: Oh my gosh hi Pianis we need to save the sun!

Pianis: Wha?

Fortis: In the other universe! I flew into there with Minty and everyone and it was just like where we left except there was no sun and it was cold and scary and I met miss fire lady and she told me about how she tried to make her fire moth turn into a new sun but it didn't work and she died! And then I ran into this old town and some kids in masks were there and they told me about how the sun disappeared but then I went into this spooky house and there was a portal back and then—

-Forte pushes their sister out of the way-

Forte: Uh, yeah, she came back yesterday. Actually it was the police station that contacted me about her because she had like 50 counts of flying unregistered Pokémon and we had to pay a huge fine and do so much paperwork...

Pianis: Wait, wait, wait. That doesn't make any sense.

Forte: Huh?

-Fortis tries to edge Forte out of the way so she can look at the screen too-

Pianis: Fortis has been with us. She arrived at the Entralink a few days ago.

Fortis: Oh my gosh! I did?

Forte: Uh... if that's the case, then how did she get here? You guys are way over in Unova, right?

Pianis: Yeah.

-Pianis scratches his head-

Pianis: I thought something was off about her, but I couldn't place it.

Fortis: Oh my gosh! You mean there's an imposter?

Pianis: Hey, show me your arms a moment.

-Fortis presents her arms to the screen; there's no bandage on either of them-

Pianis: The you that I saw over here... the fake, I think. She had a bandage on her arm. Said it was a cut that Condy gave her.

Fortis: Oh, but Condy's just a little baby birdie still! She wouldn't hurt me!

-Fortis holds a Vullaby up to the screen-

Fortis: See?

Vullaby!Condy: <Hello!>

Pianis: Now I'm more concerned.

Forte: Yeah, as if one of her wasn't hard enough to handle.

Fortis: Hey!

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

Vali Mountains

Phaz looks at the landscape, then back at Colton.

Phaz: ~Huh? Oh, uh... I don't know, to be honest. Probably a Gallade? It could be nice, yes.~

He's looking up on Colton because of his smol size.

~Especially to be larger than right now and have hands.~

Happy Little Trees

Spinme and Beck are both hit by the attack, and Beck faints.

Spinme: -A bit out- "Ahahaha~... Coldplaaay... Attaaaack..."

Coldplay comes out of his ball and begin to use Dark Pulse on the Dekarule.

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't gold

Shaun: "I'D RECOMMEND RUNNING!"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Vali Mountains

No crossdressing joke... fine... he mentally sighed as they approached where Revali would probably be. And then Colt realized something he forgot to ask.

"Did we ever ask what species Revali is?" And then he mulled over the entire conversation and realized the answer was no.

The only thing keeping him from one of his Legendary Facepalms was the fact that they were on a mountain and that would probably cause an avalanche.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Vali Mountain

Phaz: ~I know you asked yourself this and yes, yes you can amek crossdressing jokes. It happened to me more than once.~

~Uuuh... Welp. Let's assume it's like, either a bird or a Flying type, seeing all the types in the outpost.~

Vali Mountains

The pod came to a halt, Colt looking rather surprised.

"I thought you didn't even have the psychic ability to remove a scarf, and now you're reading my thoughts?" He asked rhetorically. In exasperation, he reached for the scarf hoping to remove it. "Stay outta my head," he warned.

They may or may not already be in the next town over.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Vali Mountain

Phaz: ~Dude, it's not reading minds. You were asking me, an AMAB, if I wanted to transform into a very feminine looking mon. I got the cue almost instantly.~

~To be honest I sorta saw your thoughts lightly but in a very blurry way. I was only able to see crossdressing. And even then, this only confirmed my suppositions.~

Cynthia stops Colton from removing the scarf

Cynthia: "Please don't. I didn't even begin to have my fun."

Surprise, she's disguised herself as a human with some makeup and a chirurgical mask.

Saffron City Pokemon Center

Dune: Alright, we should get this show on the road before we start drawing hard attention. There's an infrastructure station just down the street that we can use to slip into the maintenance tunnels.

-Deziree hands out any requested "toys", while Ludmilla nods to Neon.-

Ludmilla: I'm gonna find the one who took away our family. I'm gonna find her, and make sure she can't do it again.

-Dune takes a deep breath and heads out. He goes down the street and stops at an old building with paint chipping off - the worn sign on it says "Saffron City Department of Health". He opens the door and urges people inside, while Deziree takes the lead down into the tunnel past a door with a chain that's long rusted off.-

Vali Mountain

“I’m that predictable, huh.” He didn’t even care anymore.

Colton facepalmed.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Vali Mountain

Phaz: ~Please don't facepalm while driving. Facedesk is an acceptable alternative.~

The crew has already made it to the town, it was vibrant and lively, full of ice and flying types all working.

And various airships floating about, crews loading up crates and hauling the onto the ships before taking off from docks.

Though thanks to the echoing facepalm, guards quickly surrounded the pod, several glalies wearing what appeared to be uniform hats surrounded the pod, <STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE! HANDS IN THE AIR! WE HEARD A WEAPON GO OFF!>

-The recharge from the Frenzy Plant leaves Dekarule unable to move. Unable to do anything.-

-He finally starts to calm down.-

-The vines start to retract.-

-He breathes heavily. Seeing a giant tree visibly breathing is an interesting sight, to be sure.-

-He gazes over everyone, and in particular, Daydre.-

You... must take great care with that weapon. You've now seen the terrible corruptive power it holds. The only responsible wielder is a powerless and ignorant one. Even I could not prevent it from taking over...

-The Ghost Obscurics in the area feel something tugging at them, in the direction of the sword. An urge, not nearly strong enough to corrupt, easily resisted by anyone wise enough to know better, but the feeling is still there.-

Dekarule: 𝓑𝓮 𝔀𝓪𝓻𝔂. 𝓝𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓵𝓮𝓽 𝓲𝓽 𝓰𝓸 𝓾𝓷𝓰𝓾𝓪𝓻𝓭𝓮𝓭.

Be wary. Never let it go unguarded.

-He closes his eye. The village starts to brighten up again. The residents start filtering back in.-

Dekarule: 𝓘... 𝓶𝓾𝓼𝓽 𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓷𝓸𝔀.

I... must rest for now.

-Ren has recalled Rio and Kitsune for the moment, and is currently following Dezi, hes cloak billowing as he descends.-

Ren: Considering we have to be selectively destructive this time, I believe we'll have to pass on my usual "Showtunes of Doom" routine.

-Keys sticks his head out of Ren's pocket and begins to sing, albeit not using Round-

"I can explain," he offered, hands raised as he stepped out of the vehicle. "Well, okay, it's more akin to demonstration," he corrected, putting his hands into a neutral position.

"But before I forget, we were sent for Reliya, I think their name was," he explained once more.

Colton facepalmed.

The Glalie blinked, <Okay... Fine, you're good to go then. Enjoy your stay in Vali City... We don't know anyone by that name.>

Another spoke up, <Revali might.>

Vali City

Phaz: ~Uh... Okay, uh, why? Colton only facepalmed. I know it was a powerful one but still~

He doesn't do a thing.

Cynthia blinks and raises hands.

Cynthia: "Wow, great introduction for two humans, thanks a lot. And it's Revali, Colton."

The Night Before Happy Little Trees

Spinme: "Oh no... Did the tree die? I hope not..."

Looks at the sword. "What a weird thing... I think someone without thoses weird powers should take it."

She goes to grab it.
