ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Facade: <Ooh. Sounds like magic.>

Avery: Alright, so you'll want to take the eastern exit onto Route 7, and just follow that til Saffron. It's not too far.

As an alternative option, you could make your way back to Pallet Town, get a starter, and complete your entire Kanto challenge, eventually losing sight of your original goal and building a new life here.

Avery: ...Facade, I would like to know what crossed your mind writing that.

Nothing. Honest.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Zoroark Green: -shrugs- <It's... weird-sounding music, but it's not bad.>

-two Cofagrigious glare at the Geodude and Blaziken-

Fuzz: -squawks, and points to Cephas- <He did it!>

Frank: -hovers over to Cephas    menacingly   - <IS THAT SO?!>

-Cephas trembles, but has the presence of mind to turn the camera around and hit the review button-

Frank: <?>

...

<Wow that's some good resolution. Wait a second...>

-he whirls around at the Blaziken-

Frank: <WERE YOU STEALING ARTIFACTS?!>

-the Blaziken stand, mouths agape, failing to stammer out an answer-

Barry: <IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THEY WERE, FRANK.>

-and the Blaziken are grabbed by numerous ghostly arms and sealed inside the two Cofagrigious FOR ETERNITY-

Zoroark Green: <Frank, I'm glad you reached your afterlife's dream and all, but this is probably something to call the police about.>

-it would appear Green and Colton have in fact encountered the confrontation-

Zoroark Green: <I'll talk to the local Growlithe when I get home and tell them you have some culprits arrested, alright?>

Frank: <FINE.>

-well. The Blaziken are sealed inside the two Cofagrigious UNTIL MORNING, then-

Cephas: -breathes a sigh of relief-

Zoroark Green: <I don't think this is the way to the PEFE office, silly stone.>

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Relic Passage

Colt stared at the Cofagrigae - I'm sticking to my guns, here! - with a pair of aviator glasses in his hand before snapping his fingers and cutting the music. He said nothing about what he heard about what it meant being sealed in a Cofagrigus, but dispelled the glasses anyway. Things were about to go down.

Colton facepalmed.

The sand piles that the Cofagrigae called home were now blown well away, along with the same sentiment ringing true for the entire tunnel - the Relic Castle's walls were now getting a healthy dose of wind erosion along with the tunnels leading there, as well as whatever went down the other direction.

Even muffled through the golden casings of the Coffin Pokemon before him, the captive Pokemon would still get an equivalent earful, and be inertia'd into the "lids".

HC: ...

CC: He has been getting rather liberal, hasn't he.

HC: ...

Celadon

Kai: Yup!

-She pauses, pondering to herself.-

Kai: That said, I do also need to return to the Battle Frontier before long. I've been putting off my job for a while.

---

Scarlette: ...Uh, thanks, but I think I'll stick to the Sabrina option if I can. I have a job I need to get back to anyway. Thank you for the help!

Avery: Yeah, no problem. Good luck!

Don't get turned around.

-there are suddenly several Zorua around Scarlette-

Avery: ...Yeah, you're done for the night.

-she scoops up Facade, who yips in annoyance as her illusions vanish-

Avery: She gets pranky at this hour. Take care.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Celadon City

Yeah, can't simply have the title while still being some adventuring trainer.

-He shrugs and nods-

The Team's still in good hands.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Celadon

-Scarlette rolls her eyes at the Many Zoruae, but smiles nonetheless at Avery-

Scarlette: Thanks, you too.

-And so she and Gus head off in the aforementioned direction-

---

Kai: Oh, trust me, I know it's in good hands.

-She winks.-

-Beat-

Kai: ...I dunno why I just winked, that wasn't supposed to be suggestive.

Celadon

I'm pretty sure the wink made it suggestive.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

A fog sets in, and a shadowy figure appears.

???: "I haven't forgotten our little game, pet~"

And dissipates as soon as it appeared.

Artoria: "You... saw that, correct?"

Mordred: "Yep. Wish I hadn't."

Artoria: "I am concerned."

Mordred: "Highly."

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

Avery: ...So that was unusual.

She was lying to you about how she got here.

Avery: ...Oh.

Something to do with magic doorways. We should explore them!

Avery: Not during the holidays...

---

-as Scarlette proceeds down the street, she may encounter an argument between a Green and a Blue-

Blue: Okay, fine, the thing with PEFE!Every was an excuse. I just don't care about an Alakazam running for president.

Green: Well, fine. When a Honchkrow shoots you, don't come crying to me.

Blue: Do you have any clue how unlikely a scenario that is?

Green: There's clearly no getting through to you. I'll see if Amanita will help me with this.

-the Green stomps away. The Blue facepalms-

-it is possible that Scarlette, if this argument is encountered, would notice that while the Blue possesses two arms, only one of them is moving along with his many, many gesticulations-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Celadon

Kai: Yeah, definitely. But regardless! Point is, I trust the team to handle things when I'm gone. They managed it for like, eight months before I came back.

-She frowns.-

Kai: And then I showed up again and the sky exploded. Wonder if I should be concerned that's an omen or something. Probably not, but you never know.

---

-Scarlette blinks at the distant argument.-

Scarlette: ...I know that blue. That's a very familiar blue.

-She approaches.-

Scarlette: Ever? Is that you?

Celadon

Pretty sure it isn't but you might want to keep an eye out. If more omens start popping off we may have to check whether your encounter with the fae has messed with fate.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

-Ever turns around, opening his mouth to speak, and then stops cold-

Ever: ...Scarlette?

...This may be awkward.

-he blinks a couple times, and then smiles-

Ever: Happy holidays! How's it been?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Zoroark Green: -manages to bunker down under her hat from the epic facepalm-

Cephas: -is fortunately immune to Sandstorm-

-the Cofagrigae were not prepared for the expression of emotion, and are thrown into the wall-

-they might consider attacking despite Green's moderating influence, but-

-well-

-would you pick a fight with the guy who just did that?-

Cephas: <....>

<...yeah. I should head to PEFE proper now that that's dealt with.>

<Can you also tell the library that they have unmonitored sewer access to their security room?>

Zoroark Green: <...yes.>

-Cephas rolls away, as the Zoroark turns to Colton-

<Sorry, things really are usually much quieter than this!>

-she then observes that her book bag is lying on the floor, uncovered by the facepalm-

Zoroark Green: <Now that's a stroke of luck!> ^^_^^

-to the group at large-

<Froyo at Join Avenue to make up for the fuss?>

Barry: <If you're buying!>

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Celadon

Kai: Heh, yeah. Hopefully, if fate's been messed with, it's all for the better.

-She giggles-

---

-Scarlette smiles, and runs up to Ever-

Scarlette: Hey! Haven't seen you since... what, August? We really should have kept in touch more.

-Ever beams-

Ever: Yeah, life's been a handful lately. You know how it is.

Shame I can't exchange numbers. Too many J-team contacts...

What have you been up to as of late?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Celadon

And if not, well the Team can probably fix your fate up~ ^_^

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Celadon

Scarlette: Well, I...

-She rubs her neck awkwardly-

Scarlette: I, um, sorta had a falling-out with... a number of people I used to look up to. So I ended up going away for a bit. Found new work, new allies, that sort of deal.

---

-Kai smirks-

Kai: They always do. Although, from what Lady Kuu said, I do have faith that my fate is going to turn out to be a good one.

-Mezzo is shaken-

Fortis: Wake up Piano!

Mezzo: Mmm.

Fortis: Are you coming with us to save the sun?

-Mezzo looks out the window-

Mezzo: The sun is fine. It just hasn't risen yet. Fortis, how early is it?

Fortis: You've been asleep all night!

Mezzo: Yeah, that's generally what you do at night.

Fortis: But anyway! There's a universe with no sun and miss fire moth lady and miss Noelle are coming with to help me!

Noelle: That's right!

-Mezzo grumbles-

Mezzo: No. Screw multiverse junk.

Fortis: Nuh uh! We need to help them!

-Mezzo gives Fortis a look-

Mezzo: Last time I got into multiverse nonsense I ended up getting nearly killed by you.

-...-

Mezzo: By the way, why are you still holding that scythe?

Fortis: It's cute!

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

Orlok: <Sinnoh? You thinking something with Mistress Palkia?>

-Soujin hears the thud-

Soujin: "...Did any of you hear that?"

Relic Passage

Colt drew his wallet and leafed through his cards before looking up and shrugging. "Sure, I could go for some food," He reasoned.

Embry is hit by the cold!

Phaz: "Ah~! Drougth! Sweet, reminds me of Hoenn~. Embry, Rock Slide!"

Dominion Forest

Spinme: <Better be prepared.>

She takes a bow and some arrows, despite having no way of shooting with it. She also takes one red vial.

Sergay’s Camp

Cynthia shrugs.

Cynthia: ~Had an idea but this RP is rated E for Everybody. 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

Celadon

Zumi: He must be! Granted I don't know much else about him.

Moon Tribe Ruins

-Sora grumbles-

-Nena snickers-

Locke: -to Orlok- Or Giratina, I guess...

Gabite!Archer: -to the Sylveon- <Yeah, the Vibrava's one of those!>

The Rock slide strikes the Ice!Blight who begins to let out a deep laugh, "When I'm done! There will be snow many pieces they won't be able to tell what's left! I'll always be cooler!"

It conjures up a large chunk of ice and tosses it right at Talbain

Ganon looks at Shaun, holds him in a paw, looks at the Reality!Blight who is currently rearranging everything to be even weirder and simply chucks the round bird boy.

<HEADS UP!>

"Huh?"

*THWOCK*

The Shaun Ball connects and throws the Reality!Blight's focus off, for a brief moment a concise path appears. Take it!

The Mons of the Dominion are lamenting the loss of their Guardian, who is currently assuring everyone it is for the best really.

A entrance at the chest opens, awaiting all those who wish to enter. The Dungeon is ready.

Channah: -is still here, now with Thierry in tow-

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