ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Yep that Tyranitar's down-

-Yep the Zoroark goes for Pent's face-

-The Steelix is hit and attempts to sweep the Icefoxes into a Gyro Ball-

-Colton is assaulted by an Electivire-

---

-Still hiding-

???: How did you find me?!

---

-The presence moves    upwards   -

-After working for a while with Natalie and Silas, Leeya looks up-

Leeya: Whew! We're close to done.

-Before the group is the fruit of their combined efforts, an empty suit of armor that is high-tech and full of bits and bobs but overall resembles a black and purple version of this minus the central cloth bits and with the helmet down-

Should we tell Neon?

-Kai stops, trying to catch her breath.-

Kai: Huginn... Muninn, Colton... it's been a long chain of searching...

<Quite frankly, they'd actually like to meet one of his friends,> Snakeye shrugged. Silas gave him a minor look as they walked up to his house.

He knocked on the door and it opened to reveal a large man, broad with some stubble on his face, his hair was a thick black with graying at the temples, "Silas. Welcome home," he said with a warm smile on his face.

"Hi Dad. Got some time off, and some... well more things."

"Come on in," Nathan said welcoming everyone in.

"Megan meet my father, Nathaniel Grant," Silas explained.

"Call me Nathan."

Silas and crew stepped inside.

Silas blinked, "Huh... didn't need the suit fabricator at all."

He shrugs, "Go ahead. Tell him."

YV - Mobius Base

"Oh hello, there!" Colt nodded as the Electivire engaged on him. He draped the scarf around his neck and nodded.

<We're going to have a lot of fun with this, okay?> Talbain asked as he summoned the stone pillars to intercept the Electric-type before shattering them into a bunch of shards that soon went flying. The presence was paid no mind as the Stone Edge attack went flying, his jacket now dusted with minerals.

The rest of his team left him behind - they had faith he'd catch up to them later.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Megan: ...you know, I'm suddenly kinda nervous? ._.

-they walk up-

Tripod: -continues playing the Dendemille Town music from who knows what radio station, if any-

Megan: -waves awkwardly- Hi, Silas's dad!

I don't think I ever learned his—he just said it's Grant. He already told me it's Grant. O-kay then.

Human!Pippy: -more easily- Hello, Mr. Grant! It's a pleasure to meet you!

-they follow them inside-

No mind to think. No will to break.

Nathan smirks a bit, "Friends of yours?"

"Yes. Figured I'd show them where my family lives."

Nathan let out a small laugh, "Well your mother will be happy to see this."

Hacks chuckled and broadcasted to Silas only, ~Well she's in for a sight when we break out the scarves.~

Silas shrugged as they entered, the house was neat and tidy, a few pictures were hung up, some of a young boy with black hair and a blue shirt, smiling brightly, just looking full of energy for life, a riolu right beside him.

Sitting down was a older woman, set of hair, reading a book. She looked up, "Oh Silas! Good to see you home!" She set down her book and walked over and gave Silas a big hug, his expression didn't change.

<Oddball,> Snakeye commented.

"Hey Mom. Came back home for a bit, meet my friends, Megan and Pippy."

Sarah let go of Silas and walked over to Megan, "Oh hello!"

Megan: um Hi Silas's mom! I'm Megan!

Mesprit, he already said that what do I dooo

Human!Pippy: It's a pleasure to meet you! ^_^

-gesturing at the pictures- Is this you, Silas?

Tripod: -switches to any music playing inside, otherwise more music-

No mind to think. No will to break.

-Ever smiles at Maggie-

Ever: Then I suppose we are agreed.

-he just stares at Vierr, making direct eye contact, for seven seconds-

(quizzically) ...How do you know my middle name?

So, I think this meeting of the J-Team Committee for Planning a Party for Tagg (JTCPPT) can be considered a success?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Silas shrugged and said, "Yeah those are pictures of me and Hacks."

Sarah laughed a bit, "He was different, but no matter what Hacks has always been by his side. Ever since we first got the egg and it hatched, the two have been inseparable."

Silas and Hacks said it at the same time, ~"Mooooooooom..."~

As for Megan, "Worried? Oh don't be, we don't bite. Relax."

Nathan stepped in, "So. Friend from the J-Team?"

Silas nodded, "Yeah. Apprentice even. She's joined me on how to hunt for rumors and truth."

Hacks was starting to grin.

Nathan smiled, "Oh? Learned anything interesting?"

Sarah then added, "Better question. Anyone want any snacks?"

The entirety of Silas's team said, <YES!>

Silas winced, "ow... not gonna get used to that anytime soon."

The One With The Checkered Scarf: "Seems like a success to me too!"

"Now let's just keep each other posted on what we're doing next."

Megan: -somewhat calmer- Aww, I met my first two Pokémon around ten years ago.

Human!Pippy: And they've been inseparable ever since!

Silas, you're smiling more in these pictures!

-by the time she's asked what she's learned, Megan's calmed down significantly-

Megan: -easily- Well, I could tell you, but then I'd have to—

-calm's gone-

Um. That was a joke. Secrets and all.

-Pippy makes a "so-so" gesture and winks, as exaggeratedly as he can manage-

There's...probably some stuff that's not personal that I've learned, though... ^_^;

There's—what's going on with the sky!

No mind to think. No will to break.

-Vierr stares back for the entirety of the seven seconds.-

-And just tilts his head.-

Vierr: Wait, what is your middle name? I just picked a random letter that sounded vaguely fitting.

-Beat-

Vierr: ...Aaaaaaaaanyway yeah, success. Woo. Congrats, us, we did a thing.

Nathan shrugs, "Well. If you can't talk about it, that's fine. My father kept plenty of secrets."

"Though he kept mentioning someone who he was fairly certain wasn't there," Silas added.

To Pippy, Silas said, "I was different when I was younger."

~You're different now.~

"Oh... Yeah... That."

~You know we have to tell them, they deserve to know.~

Silas sighs and looks at Megan, "Before that, anything you want to see around the house?"

-Ever gives Vierr a bright, entirely genuine smile as the seven seconds conclude-

Ever: It's Collectivenoun! And yes, congratulations.

-he rubs his hands together-

Man that feels weird to do now. Alright, I've added Echo to the groupchat, I'll let you know if I have any decent ideas.

Take care?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Megan: ...he mentioned someone he was sure wasn't there...?

-to Silas- Nothing in particular, unless you'd like to show me something!

No mind to think. No will to break.

"At best the garage to see if my dad is still working on one of his project cars."

~Be happy your dad is a mechanic. Meant that he could fix your bike easily.~

"The house is pretty simple really. Nothing much of interest."

~You're just asking to put the big reveal of.~

Silas smirked a bit, "You know me so well."

Hacks sighed, ~Well, since you are our guests, wanna see the family react to the big surprise?~

Hyul Shore

Phaz: "Didn't see that one coming, am I right?"

He takes a step aside to go and grab the Hero sword quickly before any of the Wendy (Wendies?) get it.

"Alright Gudrunn! Lay wrath upon thoses two!"

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

 Tagg's Secret Base 

-Groans as I stumble around-

What happened...

Muddy: <You and her just ended up playing videogames last night since she had opposable thumbs now until you both passed out.>

-Clutching head with my left hand-

I vaguely remember something like that...

Muddy: <Helios said basically the same thing happened with Sol when you guys were in here last.>

-Groaning-

Can you guys stop please?

Muddy: -Smiling- <Well Ann's still in another universe so someone has to pick up the slack.>

>_>

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Megan: Um, sure! Break it gently? ^_^;

Human!Pippy: I wonder how they'll take it...?

Tripod:

-the three there look off, gazing randomly up and to the side, apparently in an imaginary-scenario montage-

-it takes a while-

Human!Pippy: ...I'm sure they're used to some strange stories from an astronaut by now. What's one more?

No mind to think. No will to break.

Astolfo blocks the Steelix with a Protect barrier, and Tamamo and Masako set it on fire and freeze it, respectively, again. The Ponyta snaps out of her confusion!

Ponyta: <Alright enough of that.> -She hits Cecilia with a blast of fire sqare in the chest.-

Cecilia recoils, dropping dangerously low in HP. <I will not fail this time!>

Ponyta: -shrugs.- <If you say so.> -She unleashes another gout of flame, singing Cecilia once more.

Cecilia staggers back. <No...> -She plants one foot behind herself, blasting the Ponyta with psychic energy.- <Never underestimate me!>

Ponyta: <... Shit.>

Critical Hit!

-And the Ponyta is out like a light.-

AU!Natalie: "Certainly easier when one is not having to take into account the ability to cheaply mass-produce the item in question." -She nods.- "Likely, we'll need him to test it sooner rather than later."

Silas sighed, "What's one more."

Sarah and Nathan returned, Nathan carrying a tray of snacks, Silas looked at them and winced a bit, "Okay... I'm gonna need you two to sit down for this."

The two look at each other, shrug and sit down, "Okay. What's wrong sweetie?"

Silas sighs, "You know how I told you that I can understand Pokemon now right thanks to some events right?"

Nathan nodded, "Yes. So?"

Silas sighed, "Hacks."

Hacks grinned and picked up his silver-blue scarf, Silas grabbed his emerald one. The two wrapped the scarves around their neck. With a *Poof* Silas was gone and Hacks was human.

<Here it is...> Silas mumbled, Hacks however was smiling, "Hey mom. Hey dad."

Nathan and Sarah were dumbfounded upon what they were seeing. Their son had turned into a Lucario and Hacks had turned into a human, that looked like almost like Silas.

Nathan's jaw hung open as Sarah looked at Megan, "Uh... you knew about this right? Care to help explain?"

"Alright. Hey. Neon!"

Silas played a alarm noise from his pDroid to get Neon's attention.

-"Ramona has been kneeling over the pentagram attempting to summon a demon, and I'd possibly on the verge of a nervous breakdown"-

Ramona: Arise oh great demon, arise... No?

Victor: <Maybe it needs a sacrifice. Lay down, I'll go grab a knife>

Ramona, a little disheartened: Maybe I should try a different summoning spell. -cough, cough- Arise blazikin, arise.

Victor: <Way to have an imagination loser>

Let's all have fun

-The Steelix roars in pain and goes for a last-ditch Earthquake-

???: ...

-Alli steps into view, in a Mobius Employee uniform, glaring at Kai-

You need to get out of here. They've been collecting powerful beings from across the multiverse and using the hnau stabilization fields to Pokemonize them. One's stored in this base.

Leeya: Excellent! OY NEON GET THE FUCK IN HERE

-Neon scurries in alongside Kofun-

Neon: -seeing the suit- Wow...

Kofun: <It's just what he wanted! Can he try it on?>

Megan: meep

Um, well! It started with this store run by Mew! Where Silas got that. They—probably have transform-y power, and they sell stuff, and—

-she puts down her backpack and pulls out her own blue scarf-

-pulling it on- I, also have—

-poof-

Slowpoke!Megan: Sloooooooow...

Human!Pippy: ...as you can see, there're more of these scarves, which can transform a human into a Pokémon, or a Pokémon into a human.

-he tugs demonstratively on the plainer of the two around his neck-

The human-to-Pokémon transformation apparently confers language comprehension, which is how he learned, as did Megan.

Apparently strange shenaniganry is common among members of the J-Team, of which your son is now part. It's probably not something to be particularly concerned over, but as a widening of horizons, as it were. It's...been very interesting.

-he grins and wiggles his fingers- I'm enjoying having t h u m b s.

Tripod: - .... ..- — -... ...

Human!Pippy: ...

-he pats the Slowpoke-

No mind to think. No will to break.

Everyone is hit and nobody is knocked out by the earthquake, though Astolfo is fairly low on health. Masako fires a Blizzard at the Steelix, while Tamamo uses a potion on Astolfo. AU!Natalie: "It shouldn't kill him to, no."
