Jamie: <Yep!>

Shaun; "Though I'm hoping they make things besides scarves, like necklaces or chokers. Scarves aren't really her style."

-Cue magic comments.-

Shaun: "Any sufficiently advanved technology is indistinguishable from magic."

-He smiles.-

Shaun: "Magic's just science. It abides by rules."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

"Ah yes. Arthur C Clarke."

Silas smirked a bit, "Eventually we'll one day understand it. Same as one day we'll figure out artificial gravity and faster than light travel."

Hacks nodded, ~You're way into space and space travel.~

"Space is amazing, it's vast, dark and empty, with so little light in between, but just achieving the journey is astounding!"

~Anyways we're getting off track. Silas is here for discovery and knowledge. I'm here to make sure he gets one of those fancy accessories so I can finally finish his training.~

"And who knows, it may not all be scarves."

Vali City

Not even skipping a beat, Colt dashed in the direction the workers came from, Amaterasu trailing behind him and keeping juice poured into her Drought.

Tuff: <This should be entertaining enough, don't worry.>

-Hyp decides to stay close to her-

Team Iron Auxiliary Base

-Orlandeau grits his teeth as he realizes that he may have a problem.-

-Not a "Team Iron" problem, oh no, he's known about all of the problems - new staff members with weird ideas about how the team works, damaged infrastructure from the attack, Previa being a royal pain in the ass getting the Teleport blockers set up. It's a problem with him.-

-He looks down at the bottle of sleep pills, bites the inside of his cheek, and puts the bottle away.-

Clavis Manor

Selene: Oh, those are good, too! I mean, I personally prefer Heracross to Pinsir, but don't tell them that.

-She continues to pile on plates onto Pent.-

Selene: Really though it's all up to you, I mean some of them are easier to raise than others, but the harder to raise ones are some of the strongest Pokemon I know. Don't tell Ammy I said that~

Doomsday: <Hey, uh, Selene, I think that's enough->

Selene: Nonsense! The Christmas Sugar Coma is a tried and true Selene tradition!

Doomsday: <I'm just gonna go grab some insulin from the corner store. No reason.>

Selene: Oh ye of little faith, my pancreas is as strong as Deziree's liver! That is a fact!

Ever: Everything is connected. Sometimes to degrees that would seem implausible. ...Or just ridiculous.

-he smiles-

(to Pippy) That sounds like something she'd do; she's good people.

-Brie looks up at the sound of her name, and notices Pippy-

Brie: Oh, hey! Did you ever get your stuff resolved?

-there's another way to deal with too much noise, which is to simply tune it all out and hang out inside your head-

-PEFE!Every's doing that right now, vaguely swaying to the music. All bugs seem to have been resolved and she's looking forward to a pleasant Christmas spent researching glitch juice-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Oron Mountain

"No Shaun, the 2d thing is a different game."

".. I guess it's better that we keep her with us so she doesn't cause more trouble.."

-Shaun nods.-

Shaun: "Mmm. Maybe I should work on my Pokémon Form sometime..."

Jamie: <Decidueye would fit you much better than Rowlet.>

Shaun: "Indeed. Back on topic. With my luck it'll be a choice between a scarf or, like, a winter parka or some shit."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Clavis Ballroom—Do You Like The Color Of The Sky?

Thespi: -at the confirmation from an experienced protagonist adventurer- <Wow...> -starry-eyed-

Pippy: <We did! Now I can say something—>

Megan: -grinning- And I can finish it!

It's really nice to meet you, Brie ^_^

Pippy: <You look nice! Very stylishly windswept.>

-at the last one, despite being indoors, a light wind causes loose stuff to billow dramatically-

Thespi: <Heeheeheehee~>

Megan: So, um, Ever tells me to ask you about the sky?

No mind to think. No will to break.

“Twas the Night before Xmas

And all through the house

Not a mon was stirring, not even the electric mouse

All across the world, did the kids prepare for the jingling, of the holly jolly sleigh

Unaware, that they would not be received by the jolly old fat man, this Christmas day

This christmas would be strange, out of genre, and out of range

For lo did the UFO descend, determined to give this Christmas, quite the bend to the strange

Naughty or Nice of course would remain the same this year

But the individual judging would not have the same Christmas cheer

For he was not the jolly old fat man, good old Saint Nick

And for the love of Arceus were we glad he wasn’t the Krampus for the [Australian] Christmas trick

No for the naughty and nice would be visited the Christmas Ziltoid this year

~I’ve made a list and I’ve checked it thrice!~

The Christmas Ziltoid had opted in this year, as Santa was currently busy trying out to make his own homemade Craft Beer

“Northern Lager, with a scent of pine”

But enough of that, it’s not the time

The Christmas Ziltoid was quite the Alien Menace, and so this year, decided not to visit Venice

~They know what they did!~

For the Nice Kids, fancy new toys from across the galaxy, for the Naughty Kids, boring toys and a verse that didn’t rhyme

Families would leave out milk and cookies for the lovely Santa Claus

For the Ziltoid, well this gave them pause

What do you give to a alien from another world?

Looking at this and some of the rhymes, it’s gotten quite absurd

Parents worried what their kids would say

If they saw that the cookies and milk had not be taken, this christmas day

The Christmas Ziltoid, ever merciful

Told the families what to do, yes even yours Percival

“Wait what?”

For this christmas the answer was simple

~Just leave out a mug of coffee and a snack. Yes even yours Dimple.~

“What did I do?”

And so the Christmas Ziltoid, attempting Christmas Cheer, did deliver presents, get his precious beans, this Christmas year.

When the kids awoke on christmas morning, they would discover, this year certainly wasn’t boring

And some say that the Christmas Ziltoid will return, next year, for a better Christmas day.”

Ziltoid looked at his compatriots, a Porygon piloted android and a big cybernetic killing machine.

~So what did you think?~

<I think there wasn’t enough birds in it.>

Ziltoid frowned, ~Really? REALLY?!~ he grumbled and stood up, ~Is that what you think 16?~

<Yes.>

Ziltoid groaned and turned to JD, ~Well how about you double crosser?~

“Honestly you had something, but this reads more like a shitpost than anything actually heartwarming. Just because you got that [ENGLISH] sounding accent for your narrator doesn’t make it a instant Christmas classic. I’m only here because 16 was lonely.”

<I am waiting for the Christmas deliberd to deliver my gift.>

Ziltoid groaned. Everyone was a critic.

Celadon Hotel — Last Night

Paula: Yeah, oh well. Anyway, while you pull strings to get the old man his card, I need to pull some strings with some old Iron pals.

-Beat-

Paula: But I think I can stay another night before I even worry about that. You make good food anyway.

-She grins and gives Verax a kiss on the cheek.-

-Ever smiles, and pats Thespi's head-

Brie: It's nice to meet you too!

-she smiles at Pippy, Ever grinning at Thespi-

-Brie then frowns at the mention of the multiverse-

Brie: Right. Uh...nobody's really sure what caused it exactly, except that it has to do with some organization studying the multiverse.

Ever: (to Megan) That guy you were talking to, Izaya? He's with them.

Brie: They broke something, and now all the universes are starting to blend together. Those tears in the sky lead to other worlds, and those worlds have more tears that lead elsewhere.

Some of them are pretty dangerous. Take care if you happen to be flying anywhere.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Aspertia City Gym:

Mark just stood there in a mix of boredom and disbelief. He was expecting the gym itself to be a challenge, some people to warm up against, and a tough battle ahead of him. Instead, it was a battle that posed only a small challenge at best. "Damn...that was.....too easy," Was all Mark could say before getting hit in the face by the badge and quickly recovering it. He would then return the Riolu into their Pokeball with no protest whatsoever.

"In case you couldn't guess, this isn't my first gym battle. I've beaten the champions of Kanto and Hoenn, and now I'm just going through the motions to beat the Unova Region. I'll admit before I beat the first champion I had everything to prove and nothing to lose. Even before I beat my second champion, I had to prove that I could do it again..but now...it all feels...so boring. Like everything's more or less the same, just with different places and people. To be fair you actually made me try, I've had battles so easy I just steamrolled my opponents without even letting them get a move in. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I need better opponents. I need to know I can get stronger, because some days I feel like I'm too strong..." Mark continued, pausing for a moment before remembering, "And you're not wrong: At first I was just here for the badge, but I've been hearing about this 'J-Team', and I've heard you might know more about them."

Living The Fever Dream

Clavis Conservatory

<I wouldn't,> Talbain conceded. <I can't remember names for shit.> He felt around his body for his phone, only to realize that his jacket was still with D.C. He didn't want to cut the conversation short or send Ammy off again.

<Sylveon? Would you be kind enough to get my phone back from D.C., and maybe check to see if you could get that Kyurem girl's number?>

One slap from a feeler later and the Intertwining Pokemon was off.

Clavis Ballroom—I Think It's Pretty

Thespi: -giggles-

Megan: We'll be careful!

Pippy: <I mean, it's not like we have any fliers other than sooorta Tripod (a Magnezone), anyways. We might've been a bit spoiled by the Ride Pager.>

Megan: And...I see. And huh, there's a multiverse. Okay then. And that guy -shivers- probably helped break...everything. Alright.

...I wonder if anyone in any other universe is doing anything to fix this.

-she shakes her head- Well, that's no reason not to do anything in this universe!

...What exactly are we doing about this...? ^_^;

Thespi: <Will this be resolved by a climactic boss fight with the people responsible?!>

Pippy: <How did you solve all the other times reality broke?>

No mind to think. No will to break.

-Brie and Ever exchange glances-

Ever: Uh...

Brie: Well, uh, if I tell you this, you have to promise to—

Ever: Brie's been fighting things that try and come through.

Brie: How do you know about that?!

Ever: Amanita told me. Wanted me to keep an eye on you; make sure you got rest.

Brie: ...Oh. (to Megan) Okay, it's true but please don't go sharing that kind of information with everyone.

Ever: I think that goes without saying for, like, a lot of things we've been talking about. But yeah, we're mostly taking a reactive approach for now.

Muninn: <For...some reason. Also, why are you saying "we"? You've done nothing.>

Ever: Hush, Muninn. (to Thespi and Pippi) Well, the last time reality broke, it was because Cyrus was messing with Dialga, so we had to fight him. But this seems a little more...ambient. So I'm not sure. I'm hoping once we deal with Mobius, they'll have answers.

Neon: Those all sound good... Any other types? I've got Psychic, Steel, Normal, Dragon, and Electric.

Human!Ammy: Hehe! You two ought to take pictures and share! With EVERYONE.

-Heracles lets out a roar-

-The punch spilled on him turns into multicolored snow and Phoenix is frozen from the waist down-

Heracles: -gives a snarl indicating he's being civil for the party and would normally rip Phoenix limb from limb-

Ilya: Hmmm... Well, I've been pretty preoccupied with my job so not much hobby wise... I like video games.

-Everyone that has been around is around-

Aspertia Gym, pastity pastness

Cheren: I do belive you've answered your own question. The J-Team is one of those groups of powerful and skilled Trainers that take challenges others cannot. They've saved Unova more than once. They are, however, dangerous. I can tell you how to find them, but you have to know you're ready.

Clavis Cyurem Conversation

Lucario's ears flicked. Almost reflexively, Colt's phone was in his paws with a new document open, the Steel-type looking at Ilya with eager eyes.

<Name, phone number, [Steam] ID, 3DS friend code,> he recited.

<Another person with a slight passing interest in games?> Sylveon remarked as she made her presence known.

Silas was nodding, "Yeah pokemon forms are a bit di-"

Upon mention of Rowlet.

Silas looked at Shaun, "You've ended up as the Alolan Meme Mon? The one where people are always going on about roundness?"

Hacks let out a laugh, ~Silas here is a Lucario. Which I find very pleasing honestly. Means I can teach him stuff I'm interested in.~

"Huh. As for clothing."

Silas pulled out his blue scarf, it was long and striped, "Maybe something like this for me, in a different colour. If I must."

~Yes. You must.~

"Dang promise..."

Shaun: "..."

Jessica: "Yeah! That's a great idea!"

Shaun: *internal screaming*

Clavis Ballroom—It's Like Art AND Math!

Megan: I will keep your secrets @_@

And if you ever need a helping hand, you can call us! Especially for anything water-y—we've got a lot of experience ^_^

...hm. Including fighting things that come through...we should step up training. Pollen'll probably be happy about that...

Pippy: <Ohh, I remember that. I remember those poor Magikarp... ...but wasn't that before the J-Team showed up?>

Thespi: <Ooh, so if this were a videogame, this–Mobius?–is probably like the Big Bad, and there's a Bigger Bad in the form of an interdimensional shatter-beast, feasting on the walls between realities, hungering for the blood of gods!>

Megan: Please no

No mind to think. No will to break.

Clavis Manor

Selene: I may be biased, but having a good, strong Fairy-Type is a must~

-She gives a wink with a tiny little pink heart.-

Selene: Nothing beats a good Clefable! Buuuut I suppose you could settle for a Florges or Granbull. OH! Or a Ribombee! That's a Bug AND a Fairy!

Ever: Hmm. The last person I knew who used Water Pokemon tried to kill me. But you do seem nicer than he was, so I trust you.

Brie: Ever be nice!

Ever: I said I trusted her!

-Ever smiles sheepishly at Pippy-

Ever: Different incident. Just as well you're not aware of it.

Brie: Huh?

Ever: Same for you.

-and they both turn to stare at Thespi-

Ever: ...Good Arceus I hope not.

Brie: -makes a so-so gesture-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Phoenix: Wow so if I get thrown into a pool of punch that's deep enough to swim in, you don't even offer to pay for my drycleaning but if you get punch poured on you that doesn't even cover most of you, you throw a fit and freeze me I see how it is.

-Phoenix seems to have nerve damage in his legs from the last time they were frozen solid.-
