ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Channah and Lo are strolling through the bowels of the airship, which they have somehow re-entered-

Lo: -quietly- <Ah. About here was where I fought an Exeggcutor.>

Channah: During -

Lo: < - The attack by that dreadful villainous team. That's the clearest memory I have of the event, other than Thierry actually making a scratch on a Rhyperior before fainting.>

Channah: -looks out a window- Huh. I did like this thing. Can't remember why.

Lo: <... Are you completely sure we are allowed to be here?>

Channah: We did fly right in a little while ago. Remember.

Lo: <But we were invited for a good reason. They may not be as informal about various individuals sneaking in after what happened.>

Channah: -flatly- If I remember anything right about these guys, they're probably more concerned with some zany high-stakes screwball comedy soap opera than vehicular security right now. And we're just bored, not about to steal it and summon Steven Stone through a spatial rift.

Lo: <...>

Channah: I wouldn't mind him bodily dragging me back through the -

Lo: -squawks-

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

-as Jacob speaks, PEFE!Every is taking notes-

PEFE!Every: Minor growth over affected area, no long-term spread, disrupts expression of auric abilities...hmm. I wonder if it'd work on obscurics.

-Ever stares at her askance-

PEFE!Every: Alright, thanks. Cytosol?

-PEFE!Every begins taking various tools out of her coat, leaving them hanging in the air as Cytosol suspends them telekinetically-

PEFE!Every: This will hurt. Probably.

-she puts on a pair of gloves, uncaps a syringe, and sticks it into one of the veins, withdrawing...whatever's in there. Ever winces and looks away-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Iri Manor - Past-est Past

Jacob: "... That doesn't sound cute, that sounds horrifying. Also, none of these things strike me as "cute"."

-There's the sound of movement as suddenly Godbert is behind Jacob-

Nimbasa

Jacob: -He winces as the needle sinks in-

-And a black tar like substance immediately is drained into the syringe, and also almost immediately begins to crawl up the outside of the syringe-

"... It never did that before."

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

Tamamo: "A pleasure indeed, Corrin☆"

Meanwhile, the pokemon that Artoria absconded with found for demonstration purposes wander back out, confused.

Artoria: <Thank you for your assistance!>

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

Nimbasa — Past

-Corrin smiles, then looks around-

Corrin: ...I don't know where Mason went.

Iri Manor — Past-est Past

-Kaito's smile widens.-

Kaito: It's probably best to be nice to things you don't understand 💜

PEFE!Every': Fuck.

-she drops the syringe, tearing the glove off and flinging it to the ground before taking several steps back-

PEFE!Every: That was...unexpected.

Ever: Curious; what did you expect?

PEFE!Every: I had no specific expectations, though I suppose Newtonian fluid behavior was a subconscious assumption.

-she frowns-

PEFE!Every: I don't like to anthropomorphize growths, but it seems as though it doesn't want me taking a sample.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Iri Manor - Pastest Past

Jacob: "... What are you talking abo-"

"... Godbert go sit down."

-The Buzzwole goes and resumes playing piano-

"... You were never that ominous before. ANYHOW!"

-He vaults over the balcony and runs outside-

Nimbasa

-Once the syringe is dropped, the tar instantly withdraws from it back into the growth-

Jacob: "... Should I try using psychic stuff? Just to see what happens?"

"... Imma do it."

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

 Stormchaser 

-Notices Kaito-

Hey. Figured I'd stay here for a couple days while I make sure someone doesn't make off with the airship again.

Squiggles: -Immediately gets into a fight with Botuli over a Poké Bean-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Cytosol incinerates the syringe and gloves with a Hidden Power-

PEFE!Every: Please do.

Ever: Are you sure that's a good idea?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Tamamo: "... That's concerning☆"

Artoria: <Yes. Yes it is.>

Mordred: <Eh, he'll probably turn back up.>

Masako: <... Can I agree with the weird Lurantis?>

Mordred: <I HAVE A NAME YOU ICE FOX THING>

Masako: <Well so do I, you metal grass bug thing.>

Mordred: <... Cla-> -SLAP- <Ow>

Artoria: <Mordred, Masako, be nice.>

Both stare at Artoria.

Artoria returns stares.

Mordred and Masako: <... Fine>

Artoria: <Good.>

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

Nimbasa

Jacob: -He closes his eyes and focuses for a few moments, before sweat pours down his forehead- "This part is normal... I can't-"

-The growth glows, and bursts, splattering the ground with black tar and Jacob's entire arm goes limp, the veins writhing more violently-

"... This was a mistake."

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

Stormchaser — Nowish

Kaito: Right, yeah, I heard. Geez. Anyway, lemme just let them know I'm passing the phone off to you real quick.

-And they give the phone to Tagg.-

Kaito: By the way, just so you're aware, this whole thing started because Alli went missing. After we hash this mess out I'm gonna send out an alert about it.

-It's not immediately relevant, but Tagg can probably notice the residual effects of Kuu on Kaito's Aura now.-

Nimbasa — Past

-Corrin stares at the group of Pokemon's bickering-

Corrin: ...Are they always like that?

Iri Manor — Past-est Past

-Kaito blinks-

Kaito: Was I being ominous? Sorry, I'm try to control that. Anyway, see you!

-They wave as he escapes, then turns to Godbert.-

Kaito: Nice playing, by the way. The cannon sounds were impressive. Careful, though, pianos are expensive.

-Having wound up here sometime after emergency mew-porting out of the Templar base. Blitz is currently leaning against an Arcanine, who is laying under a tree-

-He's also holding what might look like a psychic Z-crystal-

Ammon: <Figure out what you're gonna do with that yet?>

Blitz: "Not really, I assumed we'd hand it over to Bartleby, or get it locked away in some Interpol or PEFE facility somewhere for safe keeping by now..."

Ammon: <M-hm. Nobody's said anything to you about it yet?>

Blitz: "Nope"

-There's a decent pause as Blitz idly examines the Mewnium-Z crystal, and Ammon continues to be a lazy dog-

Blitz: -Slips the crystal into a pocket- "Welp. Guess there's not much else to do but keep it safe myself until further notice"

Ammon: -Smirks- <You just want to practice using Z-moves again>

Blitz: "Oy"

-Ever leaps back out of the splatter zone. PEFE!Every, who was standing back in the first place like an intelligent person, just steps away slightly-

Ever: Are you okay?!

PEFE!Every: Interesting. It appears that, while it's been content to be dormant, your growth is certainly possessed of some level of intent. It seems to actively sabotage your psychic abilities, and resists attempts at analysis.

-she narrows her eyes-

PEFE!Every: Unfortunately for it I'm smarter than it is.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Poni Shore

<Pyry: "That doesn't sound like what I've heard about our world.">

<Pekka: "Yeah, no one tried to get rid of the humans, that just wound up happening on its own later!">

<Elty: "It's said that they'll return one day, though with how long everybody's been waiting, they might as well be gone for real.">

Hard Boiled Detective Since 1985

-Shaun holds an object up.-

Shaun: "For Beowulf?"

-Jessica nods.-

Shaun: "I don't know what to get Ace."

Jessica: <Oh, I do! Give me a second.>

-She returns herself.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Stormchaser

Poni

Fuuma: Oh, so this is different from what universes we know about.

Seishirou: Yeah, well... Good luck getting them back.

Nimbasa

-Neon is around-

-Gabe is also around but separate-

-Maybe helping them meet somehow would be wise-

Nimbasa

Jacob: "I mean, I can feel my arm but not do anything with it. It feels like I dipped it in a pot of molten metal."

"... But other than that, sure, I'm alright."

-He's sweating pretty hard now and though it's masked almost perfectly, he is in agony-

"Please, go and outsmart the virulent thing on my arm. Quickly, preferably."

Regina: -Approaching the group after having wrangled Sylva, and stops, before rushing forward- <Is there anything I can do to help??>

Woe: <... That looks awful.>

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

Lo: -tilts her head- <I hear voices.>

Channah: Well, stop it, then. One of us has to be normal.

Lo: <It's the strong trainer and some others. Perhaps you should let them know you're here, so as not to cause a disturbance later on.>

Channah: Nah. Let's just creep on 'em.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Ever: ...You don't look that alright. But...okay.

PEFE!Every: Of course. Cytosol, pick some of that up. Put it in an airtight vial.

Cytosol: <This is a bad idea.>

PEFE!Every: Only if I fail.

-Cytosol sighs, and collects some of the tar, scooping it into a vial and sealing it-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Nimbasa

Jacob: -He takes a deep breath- "I mean, I'll live."

"..."

"Why can't we ever talk under like, normal circumstances."

-The goop is scooped and drooped into a vial and it screams-

-No like-

-Literally-

-There's a piercing shriek from the vial-

-And it writhes and wiggles and scratches against it, to no avail-

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

Ever: We talk under normal circumstances sometimes. It's just that you tend to make the people around you really extra so everything always gets weird.

-he shrugs-

-PEFE!Every, meanwhile, glares at the tar in the vial-

PEFE!Every: If you didn't want to be in pain, you shouldn't have been taking up residence inside a friend of mine.

-she wiggles the vial-

PEFE!Every: Rotary, get this back to HQ. Have Chime run some preliminary analyses, extreme biohazard procedure.

Rotary: <Right!>

Click!

PEFE!Every: (to Jacob) I'll figure out what this stuff is, and how to neutralize it. Don't worry.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Nimbasa

Jacob: "What does "extra" even mean???"

-Beat-

-He nods to Every- "Thank you. I know I can count on you."

-He tries to shrug, only his right shoulder goes up- "... Um. Well. I'm sure that's only temporary."

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

Nimbasa, outside Pokémon Center

-Megan walks out, pinching the bridge of her nose-

Megan: "Ugh, I need a break..."

-she may be spotted by Neon-

No mind to think. No will to break.

Nimbasa

-Neon notices Megan-

Neon: Oh! You were that one girl from yesterday! Pleasure to see you again.
