ShaunWulf: "We feel...confusion. Tranquil anger. Hate.>

-Beowulf unleashes a barrage of Fire Punches on the nearest Metagross. Tsunami and Achille attack another one with a Rock Smash and a Night Slash, but Achille seems to be weary.-

---

-Beowulf (still a Ralts) grabs Shaun's hand.-

Beowulf: <Here.>

-He waves a glowing hand over Shaun's cut, healing the wound.-

Shaun: "Thanks."

-Beowulf is engulfed in white light...and emerges as a Kirlia.-

Beowulf: <I'm even more feminine.>

-Then Jester-

Shaun: "Yeah, I'm with Pent on this."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Driftveil Pokemon Center

-Corrin looks at her hands, then in the mirror again, and then sits down again, still dumbfounded by the whole situation.-

Corrin: How... how did I get here, though? I... oh, gods, I don't remember, I... I remember fighting King Garon...

-Vierr mutters to himself, which Corrin can't quite process in the state she's in.-

Vierr: All right, Birthright or Conquest, not Revelations.

Corrin: My... my siblings were there...

-She shakes her head-

Corrin: Gods, I barely remember anything before waking up today.

Mason: From the sound of it, you had a nasty encounter with an Ultra Wormhole, but past that, I don't really know what to say.

-Henry pipes up-

Henry: <Last I remember was getting attacked by zombies and doing magic I shouldn't have!>

-Corrin looks at Henry, and picks him up.-

Corrin: So you were from my home world too, it seems? What is your name?

-Henry attempts to take a dramatic bow, but this is hampered by Corrin holding him.-

Henry: <I am Henry, dark mage of Plegia, later a member of the Shepherds of Ylisse!>

Corrin: I see... I do remember our Ylissean friends referring to a man named Henry, who was always associated with crows, are you him?

Henry: <The one and only, of course!>

-Corrin smiles-

Corrin: I'm glad to have made one friend from my own world, then. It will surely ease the process of learning about this one, yes?

Henry: <It could! Or you could fall into existential despair. Either way, really!>

Corrin: ...How comforting.

Henry: <Also, I can help you train! You're that little dragon thing now, right?

Corrin: ...I suppose I am. I will need a lot of training if I am to return to form.

Mason: Uh, speaking of returning to form, you might want to stick to training as a Jangmo-o. There... isn't particularly much human-to-human combat around here.

Corrin: O-oh, of course! I suppose I will need to give this back to...

-She looks at Skye.-

Corrin: ...Sorry, I don't think I've gotten your name, yet?

-Skye rubs her neck awkwardly.-

Skye: Uh, I'm Skye. And don't worry about it, you can keep it for whenever you need it. I'm no trainer anyway.

Corrin: Really? I am amazed you're giving this gift so generously. It is greatly appreciated, miss Skye.

Skye: ...Miss?

-Nonetheless, Corrin takes the armband off, and returns to Jangmo-o form.-

Corrin: <Oof... this is so much smaller than my previous dragon form, it will take some getting used to.>

Mason: Well, Princess, we've got a whole world's worth of stuff you need to relearn. Let's go walk and talk about it, shall we?

Corrin: <O-oh, of course! I could use a breath of fresh air after this anyway.>

Vierr: See you, dragon girl.

Skye: It was nice to meet you.

Corrin: <A pleasure meeting you as well!>

-Mason starts out the door, followed by his two previous team members and Corrin. As soon as the door closes behind them, Skye turns to Vierr and grabs his shoulders.-

Skye: Vierr how do straight people manage to not be incredibly weak around pretty girls like her holy shit

-Vierr smirks-

Vierr: I can't believe it. You're in love with an anime girl.

Skye: A video game girl!

Vierr: Is that really helping your case?

Skye: NO IT ISN'T!

 Route 14 

-Brie frowns-

Brie: Um...They look kind of weird, but I dunno much about that kind of thing. Come on, I'll fly you over to Nimbasa. Um...

-she checks the name on the pilot's license-

Ms. Malik, I suggest flying with Halcyon, my Sigilyph. He can carry you a little more carefully and keep that arm from breaking any worse. And...Ms. Weiss, I can take you on Atlantis.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

AU!Natalie nods. "Doctor. Doctor Weiss. And... thank you, Miss...?"

Malik nods, standing up slowly to walk over to the Sigilyph "Yeah, thanks."

<Pyry: "Hrmph. How do you think it looks like things are going-?">

-All of a sudden, a grapefruit-sized ruby flies out and clocks Seishirou before falling to the ground, drawing the attention of Eltenios who pounces on it-

<Eltenios: "I dunno, looks like we've got a silver lining to this!">

-Which instantly draws the attention of his peers-

<Pekka: "Oi, you greedy mutt! It's not only yours!">

Pianis: So let's review. First Siren disappears, and now I can't find my sisters either.

Yukikaze: <And we know one of them is a fake.>

Pianis: And we know one of them is a fake, yes. And that makes me even more concerned.

Yukikaze: <Yeah...>

-Pianis rises to his feet and then hears a "thump" against a nearby door-

-he opens it to find a Latias on the other side, wrapped in obscura chains-

Siren: <Oof, finally...>

Pianis: Whoa! What happened to you?

-Mezzo awakens; she's still feeling quite weak, but can move-

-...Or not, as she seems to be bound to the bed-

Mezzo: What's going on?

<Pyry: "Finders keepers!">

-The Gabite shoves Elty out of the way and attempts to scoop up the ruby... only for it to slip between his claws-

<Pyry: "Huh?!">

-The stone bounces off the ground, prompting Pekka to dive and grab it with his mawlike mouth-

<Pekka: "Ha ha! Ith mine! Ith mi-!">

-Only for him to open his mouth and the ruby to drop, prompting Eltenios to dive for it and hastily scoop it into his satchel-

<Eltenios: "It belongs to the 'mon that can actually carry it! And since I've got the bag here-">

-The Growlithe is cut off by a low growl from his teammates, and likely some combination of Seish and Fuuma, as their eyes all focus on him... Prompting him to try and whip out a distraction-

<Eltenios: "Uh... Er... Hey! What was that about Pyry and Pekka reminding you two tall ones of when you were younger?">

-Pianis cuts through the chains with his ice pick, and Siren falls to the floor and resumes her Lapras disguise-

Siren: <Thanks.>

Pianis: What happened to you?

Siren: <So you know your cute little sis and that bird she's got?>

Pianis: She's a fake, I already figured that out.

Siren: <Oh, good, makes that easier.>

Yukikaze: <So she locked you up?>

Siren: <You remember when we first met her, and she said 'no mind reading'? That made me curious, naturally, so I tried to take a peek... she had something jamming it, but whatever I saw... I knew that thing wasn't your sister.>

Yukikaze: <What did you see?>

Siren: <I saw death. I saw the world scoured away, everything turning to dust. And I saw her, riding the wings of destruction that ended the world.>

Pianis: ...

Siren: <After that, I knew I had to keep an eye on her. I'm glad I did, because it saved your other sister's life.>

Pianis: That was an accident, though.

Siren: <Well obviously, she wanted to make it look like one. As far as you knew, she was just that cute little girl, and she wanted to keep that image. But that was no accident. She pushed Piano off, and if I wasn't there she'd have been killed.>

-Pianis puts his face in his hands-

Siren: <Do you know where either of them are now?>

Pianis: No. We have to find them.

-Mezzo squirms and struggles a bit, and a Premier Ball drops to the floor, opening up-

Felis: -yawns and stretches-

Mezzo: Help me out of here.

Felis: <Hm?>

-he looks again and spots the bindings-

Felis: <What.>

-and cuts them loose-

Mezzo: Thanks. We need to get out of here.

-Mezzo opens the door and heads into the hallway, leaning on the wall slightly-

Felis: <What the hell happened to you?>

Mezzo: I don't know. But whatever's going on, it's not good.

-Mezzo looks out the nearest window and finds that the ship is currently airborne-

Mezzo: Dammit.

???: Piano! You're supposed to be in bed!

-Mezzo turns around to see Fortis standing in the hall, her Mandibuzz at her side-

-Felis hisses at her-

Mezzo: What are you doing?

Fortis(?): Something you wouldn't understand. But don't worry, I'm gonna make everything better.

-Fortis steps a bit closer, and Felis flattens his ears-

Fortis(?): I have everything under control, okay? Come on, let's get you back to bed. You need to sle— Ow!

-Felis pounces on her, scratching at her arm, and she pushes him off-

Fortis(?): Bad kitty! Leave me alone!

Felis: <You stay the hell away from us, brat.>

Mezzo: He's right. Don't come any closer.

Fortis(?): But Piano, I only want to help...

-the bandage falls off Fortis' arm, revealing a particular brand below it; a letter Y, glowing a deep red-

Fortis(?): Oh, I was hoping to keep that a secret... oh well, you won't live long enough to tell anyone anyway.

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

Aspertia City

Pokemon Center:

Not long after arriving at Aspertia, Mark made a b-line straight for the city's pokemon center to restore his team to full condition. Before entering the building, Mark pulled out the luxury ball he kept his Machop companion in for occasions such as these. Immediately noticing what was about to happen, Chopper clinged onto Mark's side who then proceeded to explain, "I know you don't like being in here, but it's something you need to do if you want to heal up quickly. Honestly you've done this a million times by now, I thought you'd have gotten over it."

After a bit of reluctance, Chopper made a sighing noise before he let go of Mark and just stood there, knowing full well what was going to happen even if he didn't like it. The mon would be engulfed in a red light before shrinking down into the luxury ball, which Mark kept a hold of as he entered the Pokemon Center. There was a small line ahead of him, all waiting for the same service, prompting Mark to pass the time by looking at his surroundings. The interior was just like most of the Pokemon Centers he had visited before, with the exact same design. Aside from a few different items, people and color schemes, it was almost like he didn't go anywhere new at all. Eventually Mark would be next in line to heal up his Pokemon, and attempted to pass the time with idle conversation as his team of 2 were placed in the machine and in the process of being healed.

"So, is there anything worth looking at in this city?" He asked the nurse, whom replied, "Not really, unless you're looking to try your luck against the local gym leader."

"That's what I'm here for, I'm just wondering if there's anything worth looking at while I'm here," Mark explained before the nurse paused for a moment before saying, "Well, aside from the local Poke Mart and some houses, we do have a lookout that's a pretty popular tourist attraction."

"Hmm...I might consider that on my way out," Mark simply replied before having nothing to say. Eventually he was able to reclaim his pokemon, but wasn't quite in the mood to leave just yet. Instead, he took one of the nearby seats, pulled out his laptop and began hooking up to the local wi-fi to browse the Internet (I am not calling it a Pokenet unless canon), which was a process that would end up taking a few moments to start.

Up walked a Snorunt carrying several cups of tea. <Here you are!>

Revali sighed, <We've been working on a way to deal with this problem, we don't even know why the Grand Articuno, and we may have a solution, but we can't get the last parts needed.>

The Snorunt walked over to another section of the room and pulled out what looked like faded parchment with some sketches of airships.

<Even if we were to tear your sand pod apart for the parts needed, we would still be missing the last bit.>

"Wow no one. Alrighty then... So you best finish up the trials! There's only 4 left, and it seems your friends who split off are already getting onto the Grand Articuno!"

Jester laughed and vanished, leaving the group to decide their next course of action.

Vali Office

"How do you know it's because you're missing parts? Because we - or at least, I - think we know why that thing is being pissy. It's... commandeered. Yeah, that's a good word for it," He decided. "by some eldritch monstrosity's pet eldritch monstrosity, so we gotta kick the crap out of it until it gives up," he explained.

-Well, that was weird.-

-To clear their mind of the exceedingly weird dream they just experienced, Kaito decides to scroll through their contact list after waking up-

Revali Office

Cynthia: "You mean ordered Colton? And, uhm, we're sorta using that sandpod."

Phaz: ~I'm gonna offer someone a bad time to the one who remove parts from that sandpod.~

Cynthia: "Yeah, right, calm down."

Phaz pouts and sits in the hoodie.

Spinme: "I just said I was okay for this!What is your major problem? Are you not entertained?

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

<Not that simple. We're not trying to fix the Grand Articuno with parts. We're trying to fix a old airship design that could fly up there through the heavy winds and survive the ice beams.>

The Snorunt handed Colton and Cynthia the sketches showing off a heavy looking ship.

<We've got most of the parts, save for one thing, a proper engine that could withstand the cold... We know where it is but we just can't get to it.>

Revali Office

Phaz: ~Have you considered a Fusion powered torch drive? Withstands even space itself."~

Cynthia: "Uh... Where's this engine located then?"

Psyche blinks, reads it again, the promptly flails and shows the text to Diane. ~...Diane, I haven't talked to Kaito for more than five minutes without a third party since the breakup... would you mind coming with me?~

-Diane blinks, scoots her chair away from her workspace and toward Psyche, and reads the text. A smile crosses her face.-

Diane: I can be backup if it gets ugly, but I think you—

-She punctuates "you" by booping Psyche's nose.

Diane: —need to try to handle it on your own.

Psyche screams internally. ~But! Diaaaaaaaaane!~

She texts Skye.

Halcyon allows Malik to climb on, using Psychic to keep her arm immobilized, while Brie climbs onto Atlantis's back-
