Meet The New Boss
Loki: <Just a feeling~>
-They shift into human form-
But no need to fear! I hate those Mobius goons as much as you do. Sticking their dirty feelers in to muck up my natural order? They need to mind their own buisness! So, of course I want in! I'll help you all take them down.
-he grins-
If you do me a favor, of course.
Cavendish: <Well, in that case, what timeline should we look in for pistachios?>
Setsuna: <Space rocks and secret houses? Coool. I wanna see.>
-Oran OS locks on the Rattata-
-Somewhere, Owen frowns-
-Somewhere else this song plays on a computer-

-Bonfire clasps her claws and pleads with Nico-
Bonfire: Oh, but you are the only customers for thousands of miles around! If you don't buy from me, I may be driven out of business!
Can you imagine what effect the second-largest employer in the area closing would have on the local economy?
Whoopie Pies are a special order item while we gague local demand.
-one of the purple cookies sprouts legs, grabs a box of Thin Mints, and carries them over to Squealer-
Youngster Joey: Hm. I don't really track trainers by wealth much.
Rattata: <Usually rich people are too snooty for Com Mons unless they can find some excuse to pretend that they are "unique" and "valueable".>
<Implying, of course, that everybody else is homogenous and worthless.>
<As the rich do.>
Mew: -perks up from rolling in the Skittynip- ~Did somebody say self-destructive nihilism?~
Cephas: <Just "destructive">
Mew: ~Caring about stuff gets hard sometimes, like when you feel like you've seen everything and keep losing people you care about.~
~Celebi thinks I need to find some better coping mechanisms than "grant wishes and hope that makes people go away", though.~
Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?
The Wanderer
Yang!Route 17
Fortuna: <I wouldn't trust them if I were you Ann.>
Ann: I don't.
-To Loki, keeping a neutral expression-
And what kind of favor would that be?
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
like christ, but with more nails
Channah: I actually really liked exploring the Underground, finding spheres and neat stuff... -comes across a big crater- Was this here before...?
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.
Dunsparce Cloud
Ever: Um.
Brie: Could you draw one, maybe? It's possible I've seen them.
Tara: <Yeah! We see all kinds of cool stuff!>
Whirlygig: <"Cool" is perhaps overstating it.>
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
The Flamebringer
This was probably a mistake.
But regardless.
Artoria is wandering Malie, seemingly lost in thought.
All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.
You're shivering. Are you afraid?
Mezzo: Hey, I think my arm's finally starting to feel better!
-she gets up, tries moving it around a bit, and immediately winces in pain-
Mezzo: Ow! Maybe not.
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.
Meet The New Boss
-Dakota grabs a stick and draws a pistachio-
Cavendish: <...Dakota?>
Dakota: <...Yes?>
Cavendish: <How did you get color with a stick?>
Setsuna: <Geez, how many space rocks were there?>
Nico: Special order? Scandalous. And you're forgetting we're the first biggest employer around here.
Grodus: <I can't belive I'm witnessing this.>

Squealer accepts the Thin Mints from the walking purple cookie, not commenting on the 'small business' thing.
Squealer: <Thanks!>
Charlotte: <Aw, that's no good...>
Guess I'm not surprised, though.
<Any way I could change their minds?>
Benny: <We should probably leave it, Charlotte. I'm expecting to scare off potential trainers anyway.>
Charlotte: <Fine... But, do you know any way to get us back home?...>

Hmph, alright a one on one duel is fine, I'll just be over here waiting to step in if we need a new duelist.
Yangverse
-Pent's just hanging about waiting for the raid to start. He's still undecided as to what severity he will visit upon them-
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
Dunsparce Cloud
PEFE!Every: Wha— How...
Amanita: ...Alright then.
Brie: Hm. Well, I can't say I've ever seen those here, but I know I saw something that looked like them, once...
-she takes out a piece of paper, and begins drawing a map-
Brie: You'll want to go here, through here, stop here, take a right here, go three stops back here, and then loop around through there and there to get to here.
-by the time she's finished, she's drawn a diagram that would make no sense whatsoever to anyone not reasonably familiar with traveling between concurrent universes-
Ever: Brie, whomst and wheverst the—
Brie: Does that help at all?
Tara: <Oh hey, I remember that place!>
Whirlygig: <I would happily kill everyone in it.>
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
The Wanderer
Route 114
-To Channah-
...It wasn't. There's residual Glitch miasma around here... and the others.
Like Destruction's... so that's two of those things dead.
-Looks towards Mt. Chimney and notes the chunk taken out of the side of the mountain-
There was a fight, they won.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Team Iron Safehouse
Security 1: Oh, for the love of...
-He goes over to the door, opens it, and chases the "Rattata" out with a lazy kick.-
Security 2: I'm telling you, we need a Meowth around here.
Security 1: Yeah, you explain to the boss why we're spending guard duty cleaning a litter box.
Bonfire: If you're asking for a sweetheart deal, you're going to need to prove you can deliver the according volume of customers!
-the cookie seems to want payment, holding up two fingers-
Cookie: 💵🇺🇸!
-er, it holds up Two American Dollars fingers-
Youngster Joey: It's sounding like you are from another universe. Probably some Mew changed you into Pokémon. Dimensional barriers are not really in my domain.
...I suppose if the problem got bad enough that breaches started appearing everywhere then they would. Catch me if that happens?

Lo: <Yes. I saw part of this while we were in Lavaridge and wondered as much, if that was them.>
Channah: And you didn't bring it up? -looking at Mt. Chimney- Explains the rock-slide on Jagged Pass, probably... I don't see any of the J-Team around.>
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.
Flying Colors
-Corrin scurries out, avoiding the lazy kick.-
Mason: Well, it would be nice company, at least. Oh well.
-He shrugs, and leans back against the wall.-
-Out of Mason's sight as well as the guards, Corrin's Rattata illusion drops, leaving her in Jangmo-o form. She looks back and forth across the hallway at her surroundings, and starts looking inside doors, doing her best to look like she knows what she's doing to any passers-by.-
Squealer gives the cookie 200 Unovan Poke in bills.
A single 200 Poke Bill.
Charlotte: <Sure! We'll give you a call!>
As this happens, a Honchkrow comes into view.
Benny: <Hm, looks like trouble.>
Honchkrow: <Oh, I'm not trouble, I'm Sholto!>

-not nearly as obvious amid the massive destruction and rubble, but there is also a pile of skittynip on the ground with a lethargic pink cat lying on top, stretched out and belly exposed-
-it is not a Skitty-
-Joey glances into the sky, trying to decide if Murkrow currently count as Com Mons or not-
-probably not, even if they have appeared more lately-

Yangverse, with Loki
“Yeah, shoot,” Colt offered as he removed his hand from his Pokéballs and dispelled his Claws. “What do you want from us?”

Meet The New Boss
Cavendish: <Map's simple enough!>
Dakota: <Thanks for the tip!>
-They hop into the car. A portal appears, which they drive through-
-They re-emerge a few minutes later. The car is filled with kiwi fruit-
Cavendish: <There was a grave mistake! That was the Kiwi Dimension!>
Dakota: <Yeah! Nothin' but weird fruit and> -shudders- <weird birds!>
Izana: -for once deathly serious- <This Glitch... It was truly a dark presence... Are all Glitches like this?>
Nico: Hmmm. Well, I've been meaning to improve the cafeteria food...
-A camera locks on Corrin-
-A camera locks on Mason-
Owen: Now what are you two up to...?
Loki: I want to crush these Mobius goons at the roots for meddling. I want to send an ambassador with you to your world to help finish them off... And get a lay of the land. If you can do that for me, I'll happily assist in crushing them here alongside you.

Team Iron Safehouse
-Inside one of those doors, a young man hops on the balls of his feet as he zips up his Team Iron Jacket.-
Team Iron Grunt: Alright, first a meal, then brush my teeth, then guard duty. No, wait, brush teeth, then meal? No, no, meal, then guard duty, then brush teeth.
-He's definitely one of the... chipper guards that Corrin's likely seen in the past. It's been let slip that his name is Johnny.-

Corrin: (Oh, man, I'm gonna feel so bad for this, if he's the one on our room's duty.)
-She rushes past his room, trying to find Mason's other team members in time to come back for this poor cheerful Iron grunt.-
Iron Safehouse
-The nearby storeroom is pretty obvious, due to the smell of dust and mildew. On the shelves are various items not worth keeping in sight for one reason or another, including, lo and behold, a box labeled "Confiscated".-
-If the team's anywhere, it's probably there.-
Meet The New Boss
-Perfect.-
-Corrin scurries out from behind her illusion double, disguised as an Alolan Rattata.-
-She circles around the walls of the room, before making her way to the door.-
-And just... scratching at it a bit.-
Mason: Did she say anything about looking into the rodent problem? Or is that another "yeah whatever" thing?
