Megan: No worries!

Pippy: <It was a bit of a surprise, I must admit...but these designs seem impressive!>

Vee: <But, yeah, maybe wait until we get to know you better first...> -smiles in a way she hopes is reassuring-

No mind to think. No will to break.

Vast Poni Canyon

-Ludmilla rubs her arm as she gets to the familiar trial gates. No one is there.-

Ludmilla: I guess this is the part where I just... walk in?

-She does so, before immediately feeling eyes on her.-

-Which she responds by immediately staring back, right in the eyes.-

-The surprised Jangmo-o lets out a squeak and tumbles off of his perch.-

Ludmilla: I have been watched by Pokemon much stealthier than you.

-The little dragon quickly regains her composure.-

Jangmo-o: <Fight me, trialgoer!>

-Ludmilla shrugs and sounds out a Clefairy.-

Porrima: <Oh, ugh - do I really have to?>

Ludmilla: You wanna get strong enough to use Moonblast or not?

-Porrima rolls her eyes.-

Porrima: <Tch - fine.>

-The Jangmo-o lunges at Porrima with a Dragon Claw, which just slides off of her fur.-

Jangmo-o: <W-wha?!>

Porrima: <*Sigh* Okay. Listen closely - I am a Fairy. Now, I know that little brain of yours is just straining to understand what that means, so let me spell it out for you. Dragon stuff doesn't do anything to me. A-ny-thhhhhhhing. And guess what? I can hurt you. A lot.>

-Porrima used Disarming Voice!-

Porrima: <Yoooooou aaaaaare an idioooooooot~>

-The Jangmo-o feels faint.-

Ludmilla: This is a lot easier than I thought it'd be.

-Ludmilla turns at the feeling of eyes on her, but the perch they were from is already empty.-

Ludmilla: Hm...

"The Jester did not work for us... not willingly anyways. We had no idea what we found was sapient..."

A new image appeared, one of Hyul explorers, notably with pointy ears, finding a pit of the black ink, "With the vril, we powered our tools cleanly."

The crystal array began to sing again, becoming a erratic mess, before finally ending out, singing in harmony again, a ominous almost hostile tone coming from the crystals.

"We compressed the Vril to form the crystals... we do not know why... but Jester does not seem to like the laws of physics much... do not make the same mistakes we do... please tell me the people of the outside world aren't toying with things beyond their understanding."

Aspertia City Gym:

"Yeah, they are...technically," Mark pointed out before Chopper barely dodged the Pidove's wing attack. "You know how this goes Chopper, follow through with Revenge!" The trainer then ordered before Chopper rebounded from his dodge to deliver a left-arm uppercut toward the Pidove.

Living The Fever Dream

Vast Poni Canyon, Dragon Trial

-Ludmilla steps past a stalagmite, and once again the feeling of eyes on her makes her turn. A more mature dragon drops down.-

Hakamo-o: <Face me, challenger!>

-Ludmilla shrugs and sends out Hermes the Raichu.-

Hermes: <Well, hello! What's your favorite food?>

Hakamo-o: <My brothers and I only sup upon pain during our training!>

-Hermes tilts his head as he levitates off of the ground.-

Hermes: <Oh? Then this should be yummy for you!>

-Ludmilla makes a pose!-

SHATTERED PSYCHE!

Ever: —I dunno, I just feel like the fact that you haven't stopped talking about her might be a sign.

PEFE!Every: It's just...new.

Ever: Which you said an hour ago, with the exact same wording.

Brie: He has a point.

PEFE!Every: There's a lot of untapped possibilities!

Ever: Untapped possibilities.

PEFE!Every: That's what I said.

-Ever's mouth quirks up. Brie tilts her head-

Ever: Would you say that you might want to...

Tap that.....................................possibility?

-he bursts into helpless giggles. PEFE!Every just looks confused. Brie sighs-

-Amanita approaches, not noticing the others-

Amanita: Yungoos, there's no need to feel down, I said Yungoos, track that scent 'cross the ground, I said— Oh! Hey! What's going on?

Ever: I'm making fun of PEFE!Every.

PEFE!Every: You are?

Brie: He is.

Amanita: Uh, besides that.

Ever: Honestly, not much. Aside from that whole thing with Yveltal, things have been pretty quiet on the multiverse front.

-Brie and PEFE!Every both blink at him-

Amanita: ...Right. Aside from Yveltal.

Ever: That's what I said.

PEFE!Every: Also aside from people from a world without Pokemon invading the PEFE HQ.

Amanita: Wait, what?

PEFE!Every: It's fine; it's dealt with.

-Amanita blinks-

-she's saved from having to question this when a Taillow flutters down from the sky. Ever stares up at it in confusion-

Ever: A Taillow? I didn't know those lived in Uno—

-it lands on his shoulder, knocking him to the ground-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Trial of Knowledge

Colt inhaled through his teeth before regretting it when the cold air struck his teeth. "That variety of curiosity comes standard with being human," he regretfully informed. "It's kinda what we do; experimenting with what we don't know so we can understand it," he said.

"Oh, you mean Hyul in general? Can't speak for the entire island, but they seem to have... stagnated, shall we say."

Nimbasa City

Colt shrugged and flashed a thumbs-up to Neon, as if to say, "it's cool."

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Artoria nods.

Mordred: <Excuse you, neither of us are Bug-type. She's Grass and I'm grass-Steel.>

Artoria: <Mordred please.>

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

"I do not mean the Hyul in general... and it saddens me to learn humanity is still messing with forces beyond our comprehension, it destroyed us... As for how we removed the Jester once before, it was a trick, made it seem like we had were escaping the planet, to escape him... it was a risky shot. But the false castle we put on the Red Planet worked."

The holograms changed to the image of the Jester being flung off mars, carried by numerous Guardians flying right towards Jupiter.

Trial of Bookshelves

Cynthia: "Uhm... Yeah, uh, we didn't play with weird things... Buuuut...."

Phaz: ~Weeell... We did fight one or two glitches in the course of our adventures... Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...~

~Wait, MARS?!? THE RUINS, IT WAS YOU?!?~

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

Ever: Ow.

PEFE!Every: You deserve this.

Ever: I know.

Taillow: <Hey guys!>

Amanita: ...Do we know you?

Brie: Yes!

-she hugs the space above the Taillow-

Amanita: Uh, Brie, what are you—

Brie: You've met Ruby Rose, right?

Ruby Rose: <How's it going?>

Amanita: ...Oh. Right.

PEFE!Every: Uh, what's going on?

Ever: I have bad life experiences with Latii.

PEFE!Every: W-what?

-speaking of, Muninn has fled to avoid being noticed-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Nimbasa City

-Corrin just sorta blinks-

Nimbasa

-Jacob is here with Regina, Woe, Discord, and Sylva-

Jacob: "You ever get the feeling that something really weird is about to happen?"

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

Aspertia Gym

-The Pidove is dropped to low health but retaliates with a PECK TO THE FACE-

Trial Of Knowledge

Kass: <But he came back. How do we stop him? He has set a trap for us.>

Nimbasa Streets

-Speaking of, a certain other Mimikyu may notice Muninn anyway-

Contact Me!

Muninn: <...Sister. How's it been?>

Meanwhile

Ever: Can you let me up?

Ruby Rose: <Whoops!>

-she does. Ever picks himself up, and suddenly his head snaps to the side-

Ever: Is that—

PEFE!Every: It is!

-and Jacob may find himself with a pair of Memitos at either shoulder-

PEFE!Every: Heya!

-Brie and Amanita blink, as does the Taillow-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Pizza Parlor

Psyche twirls her hair. ~She's really cute and I'm really nervous about dating her. Like, Noelle just kinda happened on the rebound? And Skye and Diane and Alyssa, we kinda all decided that all together. This is... different.~

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Shaun: "I am Shaun Sapphire of Sunyshore, Sinnoh."

Ace: <I am Ace of Sinnoh, son of none.>

Celena: {I am Celena of Ultra Space.>

Shaun: "Hyp speaks the truth. We wish to cleanse the Grand Beasts."

Ace: <You're having too much fun with this...>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Artoria: <You... haven't learned about the type chart yet, have you.>

Mordred: <Something tells me nope.>

Artoria: <Mordred, the chart, if you would kindly.>

Mordred pulls out a pull-down chart from hammerspace, looking like this◊

Artoria: <This... will seem confusing at first. Essentially, every living being except for humans and a few Eldritch Abominations fall into one of 18 types. Pokemon and a few humans, namely those on the Auric spectrum, can use abilities commonly referred to as 'Moves,' which also all have one of these types. Each type is resistant to a number of other types, and each type does increased damage against a number of other types. For you, as a Jangmo-o, the most relevant one is this column here, that says Dragon. Under this column, anything with a green box is doubly effective against you, and anything with a red box is only half effective against you.>

Mordred: <It's like a massive and significantly more complicated game of rock-paper-scissors.>

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Vast Poni Canyon, Dragon Trial

-Ludmilla continues onward until she finds herself in front of the Z-Crystal pedestal.-

Ludmilla: I know you're there.

-She gets no response, so instead she looks upward at a pair of eyes looking down at her.-

Ludmilla: See? You're right there. Staring at me.

Kommo-o: <...>

Ludmilla: Seriously, if you think you're being sneaky, not a lot of people coming here must look upwards.

-The Kommo-o remains silent.-

-Ludmilla reaches forward, her eyes still on the dragon. The wyrm leans forward and jumps down.-

Kommo-o: <Come, challenger. Earn that crystal.>

Ludmilla: If you were hoping to surprise me, I'm afraid you'll leave disappointed.

Kommo-o: <Apologies if it aggravated you. You are correct - most people do not know to look up.>

Totem Battle! Vs. Kommo-o!

Iri Manor - A really Fkin Long Time Ago

Jacob: "Abs is a very good word to describe it. Also why are you being weird. You're usually weird but being weirder today."

Nimbasa - Now

Jacob: -Is suddenly Memito'd - "Uh, hi you two- PEFE!Every! You're alright! I was really worried about you. Glad to know you're safe, now. Also Ever you have an arm again. This is good."

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

Muninn: <Good to know. Meanwhile, here I am, stuck with mine.>

Meanwhile

PEFE!Every: I am safe! And among friends!

Ever: I do, in fact, have an arm. It's magic.

PEFE!Every: Zrone said it wasn't.

Ever: Zrone said a whole lot of things.

-Corrin looks at the chart, and immediately shrinks back in that "oh dear gods 324 new pieces of information all at once" way.-

Mason: Welp, I'm gonna leave you three to be scholarly together, see you.

-Corrin yelps as Mason turns to leave.-

Corrin: Wait no don't go hold on
