ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Channah: Kind of, yeah. Um. So... How is he?

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

Benny: <Ah, that would explain it.>

Charlotte: <Oh my, seems the royal dragon bloodline is fitting for you, form-wise, then.>

<But interesting... would it work similarly for me, then?>

Sholto: <Well, since the sun's still up for a bit, I could try making you human for a bit...>

Charlotte: <...Oh?>

Artoria and Mordred, finally, manage to find Corrin.

Artoria waves. "Hello, Corrin, Mason, bird, bunny."

Mordrad: "Cute overload!"

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

Yang!Mobius Base

After stuffing the scarf into his jacket pocket and relocating the Prax Obscura through an illusory hand, Talbain chased down Kendall and found the group.

He remained silent, deciding to ask again later. This was too precious to interrupt.

He still had concerns, though, if the fact that he was shifting in his seat said anything.

Hyul Castle

Amaterasu continued lobbing fire attacks at the statue’s mouth, Flamethrowers, mostly.

She had charcoal and a buncha wisps on standby; she could keep up the firepower.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

PEFE!Every: That's what they said about the estrogen too, and here we all are.

-she scoops up Muninn, and leads Basket out of the Food Court, to a slightly less open area-

Alright...

-she sets Muninn down, and downs the bottle-

Muninn: <You have experience with this, I see.>

PEFE!Every: Don't start.

Ka-Charizard!

PEFE!Every: <...Hm. Some unusual side-effects.>

-indeed, she's a very nice shade of viridian-

-Ever shrugs-

Ever: There's nothing that can be done about my legs; Breeze has repaired the major issues and they need time to heal.

Breeze: <Past a certain point, you don't really want to keep Heal Pulsing the same areas.>

Ever: And...yes. I'm taking a break from ghosts. I'm not certain what you're seeing, Pollen, but I can't imagine I envy you.

-he gives the Ribombee his best smile-

I did say I've been better.

-fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, for Megan, Ever's a people-reader, Breeze is a mind-reader, and the Litwick is good at sensing distress-

Something's eating her.

~Ask~~

One thing at a time...

-the Litwick, who is not privy to the telepathic conversation, just gives Megan her little smile-

Ever: Ask anything you want, Vee. I can't promise answers but I will do my best.

Breeze: (to Megan) <What's going on?>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Mew!Blitz: .....

-Blitz snuggles into the bundled sleeping bag-

Poor girl, nobody as friendly as you've been should be friendless

-Now that it's quiet, nagging mental reminders about things left undone start making themselves heard. In particular the garbled message leading to the Cathedral's mystery portal-

-Sighs-

...Blitz, what are you even doing here? Teleport accident or no, there's really no good excuse for continuing to hang around Unova...

At least we can probably bluff her parents into thinking the hair and eyes are wig and contacts, for now

-Aaaaand guess who just remembered what Chaos did to Jacob?-

-Shudder-

Mph... No, definitely can't take her back with me. Even IF her parents were fine with it, J-team has too many enemies right now. It'd be terrible if she got caught up in something like that... Or ran into Zrone... Or got caught in one of Iron's god-killing schemes... ...Especially since they're probably going to target me eventually...

-Yawn-

Shame... She'd probably make a bunch of friends on the Stormchaser...

...

.........

-Morning may find Blitz is still a very sleepy furball-

---

-A ponytailed blond is sitting on a rock overlooking the ocean with a red and orange egg sitting in an incubator next to her-

Tori: "It's been pretty boring out here without the rest of the J-team..."

-She glances up toward the broken sky-

"...Not that I can blame them"

-It seems quiet other than the sounds of the ocean-

 Mossdeep 

Pici: <He's back at the hotel, and well...>

 Hotel Room 

-Staring up at the ceiling-

...I'm sure she doesn't want to speak to me.

Muddy: <I know last night... didn't go well, for reasons outside of anyone's control, but I'm sure that's incorrect.>

-Throwing arms up-

It was going so well, and then I decided to act quickly and ruin everything.

Doc: -Sitting by the bedside- <Eh, I'm sure she'll come around, she's stuck around despite everything else that's happened this past month.>

 Mossdeep 

Pici: <...I'd suggest going to see him.>

 Yangbase 

Ann: -Watching the hug- Good to see they're back together.

Fortuna: <Ann, we need to talk to Kai. About that thing I mentioned.>

Ann: Let's wait until later, it would kinda ruin the mood now.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Basket: <Hm, a bit unexpected but in retrospect a reasonable outcome.>

<Productive tests I can think of:>

<1. Infection potency.>

<2. Success of Sunny Day in curing.>

<3. Determining whether the Leaf Guard triggered a Delta typing.>

<Am I missing anything?>

-Sol and Ton sort of hover around the edge of the crowd, not wanting to interrupt what is clearly a meaningful event but having business before they vanish-

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Pollen: <You look like a sad, lonely flower.>

-she grins- <It's good. You seem like you need the breathing room. And at least you're sad and lonely among friends and your mons.>

-Megan smiles a little smile back at the Litwick-

-and then Breeze-

Megan: Eep!

Er, nothing's going on! ...well, this is, and I'm glad to see you! ^_^;

-something's sorta vaguely wrong-

-she's kinda trying to ignore the risk of bodily harm and trauma and death, by avoiding thinking about the future-

-this is at odds with the current situation-

Vee: -deciding to let Megan talk out her stuff- <Alright.>

<Hmm, well...>

<Are there any skills we should pick up? Parkour, sewing, hunting, wilderness survival, human hand-to-hand? Laws and loopholes in case the "vigilante" thing goes awry? Do we typically fight our way out of most stuff, or should we try to be more diplomatic? ...Should we have a lot of kill-moves? Will we need them?>

<Any old tragedies you'd rather not be replicated, judgement calls you'd rather go differently or not differently at all? I...I hate to ask, but any old friends, acquaintances, allies you'd rather we not follow the example of?>

<Anything in particular you think we should know so we're not blindsided by it later?>

-Vee sighs- <Ultimately, I suppose I'm asking for guidance. When to hold, fold, walk, run. Weighing the world against us, whenever. Even better, how to tip the scale to get both.>

Pippy: -speaking up- <...How do we deal with the stress? Of saving everything, and what it entails? We're not planning on leaving any time soon, so...how can we make this work?>

Pollen: <What do we need to build together, for this? What do we do, to become strong, like you? As connected?>

Megan: ... -she seems to shrink slightly-

No mind to think. No will to break.

Mason: <Wait what.>

Corrin: <It should work for anyone, yes!>

-She perks up hearing Artoria, and turns around to face her.-

Corrin: Oh, Artoria! Hello!

-Kai just sorta leans into Lina's shoulder.-

-It's an interesting sight to be sure, considering she's ten inches taller.-

Kai: Yeah, we're all right... everything is going to be all right.

-The rest of the family has arrived.-

Skye: Oh, thank goodness, you're safe...

Dylan: It's good to see you in one piece, Alli. We missed you.

Ellen: All of us did.

Diane: Glad you're back. That said, before home is an option, we still have to get those DNA Splicers back...

---

-Elsewhere, Dr. Robinson is mulling over the recent events.-

-Dark Hide was... arguably a success. The translation was, at least. It made for an excellent point of study — an in-field test, in a way.-

-Of course, this world's operations were a bust. Shame. Oh well. The attempts to retrieve the DNA Splicers failed, too, but that was just a matter of grunt incompetency. They're always so incompetent.-

-Luckily, there were plenty of other projects similar to the Dark Hide experiment that are being prepared. This was just the first. It will be quite fun to see the others in action.-

-Still, a shame. This is the second failed augmented Salazzle she's worked on, after Carna. Alas.-

Channah: -sighs- That's what Lo was telling me. I guess...

Basil: -nods-

-goes to the hotel floor Tagg's room is on and knocks on the door, then shoves her hands in her pockets-

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

Charlotte: <Oh, hello! You must be Princess Corrin's friends!>

Benny: <...Which of us did she mean by 'bunny'?>

Charlotte: <Me, clearly>

Charlotte then hears Corrin.

Charlotte: <Oh, interesting...>

Sholto decides to hold off on saying the thing, but Charlotte looks toward Mason again.

Charlotte: <Hm... I hadn't noticed it before, but something about your appearance there reminds me of those Hoshidan foxes.>

She says the words 'Hoshidan' with a certain venom.

Artoria: "We are, yes. So, Corrin. I believe we agreed on training when we arrived at Mauville, and we're in Mauville, so..."

Mordred: "I know! Isn't he adorable!"

Something is moving through the water towards the coast at high speed. Tori might notice it!

off the shits

-Hearing Charlotte's scathing tone in reference to Hoshido, Corrin and Mason give each other awkward looks.-

Corrin: <...Do you think she— >

Mazon: <Yeah no there's no way she's the same one you knew.>

Corrin: <It seems so...>

-She clears her throat.-

Corrin: <Um, Charlotte? I... in my world, I was working toward uniting Nohr and Hoshido. As well as I could.>

Mazon: <Awkwaaaaard.>

-Mason backs up and puts on the armband, transforming back into human form. He stretches.-

Mason: Ahh, humanity, how I missed thee.

-Corrin coughs, and turns toward Artoria again.-

Corrin: <Ah-heh, yes! Training! I would love to train a bit with you, now that we're here.>

Loki: ~Yeah yeah, touching family reunion, fantastic, can we all just get out of here so I can do demolition duty on this place?~

Alli: The big snake has a point...

Colress: Let's be off then.

-People start filtering out of the (now evacuated by Mobius) base-

Contact Me!

Benny raises an eyebrow at Corrin's claim but that's most of what he does.

Charlotte: <You? With Hoshido and Nohr? I thought you rejoined your Nohrian siblings. I remembered hearing you were a bit soft for Hoshido, but... how'd you mange that?>

Tori: -Putting a hand on the incubator- "Hmm... When are you gonna hatch little guy?"

...

-That sounds like more water noises than just lapping of waves-

"....Eh?"

-She stands, and puts a hand up to shade her eyes as she tries to make out what in the world the fast water thing could be-

The attacks knock the Titan off aim and it fires a hot green beam above everyone.

It is thankfully slow and lumbering, so that provided a advantage, a colossus climb would possibly work.

It swiped a hand at the party as it shrieked, charging another attack.

-"the now pink haired Ramona, who is way to happy, way to early in the morning, comes into her room carrying two plates of bacon and eggs."-

Ramona, to the still possibly sleeping blitz: good morning miss demon, my dad made us breakfast <3

-"Victor wakes up, and growls at his new partner"-

Riolu: <...good morning ...salty aura>

-"Mokuba and Luke are standing, bruised and panting."-

-"Luke looks at his damaged hand and winces."-

Luke, in his head: <What's with this kid? I get that he has type advantage, but he's still a small fry. He shouldn't be this strong... Tsk>

-"Luke turns to his trainer, and barks."-

-"Becky understands what Luke wants, but is still shocked by his message. She looks questionably at Mokuba, then pulls out a fingerless glove with a strange stone imbedded in it."-

Becky, as she puts the glove one: Sorry about this. -Becky raises her gloved hand into the air, and presses the stone. A bright light envelopes both her hand, and Luke, who is enwrapped in a mega cocoon."-

Homer: What the?

Mokuba: <Hark, what type of witch craft has entrapped my opponent... this is so cool>

-"The cocoon shatters revealing a mega lucario."-

Becky: Luke close combat!

Homer, still shocked: ...Mokuba dodge it.

-"Mokuba prepares to jump out of the way but the mega evolved Mon is simply Tue faster of the two. Mokuba is hit with flurry of blows, and falls to the ground."-

Mokuba, in pain: <~ow~>

-Mokuba faints-

Let's all have fun

The icefoxes filter out with everyone else. Mordred: "Awkward..."

Artoria looks at Mason. "Thumbs. Only advantage humans have over anything else."

Mordred: "But adorable fox..."

Artoria takes off her scarf. <Well. First things first, I need some baseline of how well you've acclimated to being a Jangmo-o, so...>

<En garde.>

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

Shaun: "Alright so I'm just gonna take cover somewhere"

-He stands behind some convniently sized sturdy object like a tree or wall.-

Jessica: <Here I go! Try to keep up!>

-She leaps onto the Titan's hand and tries to sprint up its arm.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

 Hotel Room 

-Hears the knocking, gets off my bed, and cracks the door ajar. Was that... the remnants of crying? What are you talking about?-

Oh, hey...

Corrin: <Well, yes, I did, but... well, I needed answers, Garon gave me answers in the form of sending me on impossible missions that should have ended up with me dead, I eventually had to flee to Hoshido for safety and then things got messy and it's just been a really stressful life...>

Mason: Everyone except Takumi was on board with joining her pretty much, and that's just because Takumi is Takumi.

Corrin: <Not a happy time. Anyway, yes, Artoria, I'm ready!>

-She tenses up her muscles and readies herself.-

Corrin used Work Up!

-Kai nods-

Kai: Yeah. Let's get out of here. We're done here.

-They all start heading out.-

Channah: Uh. Mind if I come in?

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