ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Mew: ~...Zorua don't evolve at level 13?~

~...Nobody evolves at level 13. Who was I confusing you with?~

-she shrugs, and drops another seventeen candies onto the pile with considerably fewer pyrotechnics-

Mew: ~One thing at a time, don't worry, I'll stick around until you're satisfied~ ♥

...

~...or until Tuesday, I have plans for that day~

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

???: "False."

-An anthro Xerneas robot stand outside of the closet, wrist cannon aimed directly at Homer.-

Zelel: "You only got this far because we let you."

-An alarm sounds. Omega, Mecha, Dr. Multiman, and all of the Admins and Moderator are "pinged" with Zelel's location.-

Zelel: "Now, are you going to let me escort you to a holding cell?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

-Mason groans-

Mazon: <Can't you just like, skip the rare candies and do the human transformy thing? Or is that like somehow beyond your power?>

Artoria: "..."

Mordred: "..."

Artoria: "Mew concerns me."

Mordred: "Same?"

Vi's wearing a long white coat with a single dark blue stripe running down the left side, and is carrying an umbrella, despite not needing it today.

Morgan has acquired clothing and is now wearing a white button-up shirt, slacks, and a black longcoat.

Seems he takes his fashion tastes from his mother.

Cynthia seems to be stubbornly refusing to buy clothes and is sticking with her armor.

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

Ever: Oh. Yeah. I guess that's not surprising.

Breeze: <They're more alike than they'll admit.>

Ever: Shush.

-long couple of weeks, huh?-

-Ever just nods-

Glimmer: <....Getting shorter.>

Breeze: <Why do you phrase everything in the most ominous way possible?>

Glimmer: <It's not on purpose. That was supposed to be comforting.>

Breeze: -doubt.png-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

"Oh, uh.. Hi Kai."

"Wait I didn't mean for that to rhyme. I mean, hello."

Azure: <I figured?? That's why I was confused when I met her.> He motions to Daydre.

off the shits

Mew: ~Silly, the human transformy thing wouldn't evolve you into a Zoroark~

-noseboop-

What?! Mazon is evolving!

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

-Kai gently pats Ever, and sweatdrops at Glimmer-

Kai: Ominous statements aside, I do hope things cool down for a moment. I'm no prophet but I feel like it'll turn out okay.

-She giggles as Daydre accidentally rhymes.-

Kai: Hey, rhyming is good! And thematically appropriate.

---

-Boop!-

-Mason is enveloped in a glow of light spontaneously-

-And then a Zoroark stands where the Zorua once was.-

Near: ~Congratulations, you are now Zoroark Purple.~

Zoroark Purple: <...What????>

Near: ~It's your official designation.~

Zoroark Purple: <...Whatever. The human thing was higher priority though!>

-Mew scritches her head-

Mew: ~So they said you want to be a Zoroark, but you also want to be a human..?~

~...ohhhhhhhhh~

~You want to be a weremon, I get it!~

-Mew cracks her knuckles-

Mew: ~I'm good at this resolution!~

-Bzzzzzzoroman!-

-and Mason is a human again!-

Mew: ~There! That should satisfy!~

Breeze: (to Azure) <Well, Ever didn't understand mons when I met him, but then somebody turned him into a Dunsparce and now he does. ^_^>

-Glimmer just stares at Kai, giving her little smile-

-Ever just relaxes into the pats-

-he really is a lot like his cousin let's be real-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-And Then Mason Was A Human(?)-

-He just sorta looks at his hands, and then pats himself down to make sure that yep, he's properly human.-

Mason: Oh, thank Xerneas...

---

-Kai smiles, and pats a bit more before letting go.-

Kai: If you ever need more hugs, just say the word. Because we're buds.

Mew: ~I mean, I played a part too~

~But anyways, now that my conscience is clear, I still have a Fletchling to find! See you~ ♥

-blip!-

-and she vanishes, into the thin air of the cloudy night-

 Pacifidlog Center 

-To Channah-

Neither do I, generally. But it looks like the [Philadelphia] Braviaries won this one.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Mordred: "Uh... Mew concerns me."

Artoria: "Indeed."

Mordred: "I hope that's not the standard for our gods..."

"I dunno, it feels weird when it's not on purpose.."

Azure: <Is that how everyone learns to do that?>

off the shits

Corrin: <I certainly hope not...>

Mason: Wait hold on what was that about—

-At that moment, the moon comes out from behind the clouds.-

-Awoosh!-

Zoroark Purple: <...>

-sharply inhales-

Artoria: "..."

Mordred: "..."

Artoria: "Be careful what you wish for...?"

Mordred: "Nope, I think this is just Mew bullshittery."

Artoria: concern.png

Noelle: Look, it's weird that I'm trying to be the voice of reason here but maybe you should step back and—

Lily(?): The time for stepping back is past! Full speed ahead!

-she puts the throttle to max-

Fortis: Yay!

-Thump-

-the boat hits a black sand beach-

-and the three passengers are all immediately launched from it, landing in the sand nearby-

Fortis: Oof!

Noelle: Ow!

Lily(?): Whee... oh, so that's why they call it Poni Breaker Coast.

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

Mauville Courtyard

-Pent sighs and collapses back after his intense concentration-

I'm feeling something, but this damn rift is screwing up my attempts to divine anything concrete.

-His laptop chimes and flashes up the simplistic graphical face of it's usual Porygon inhabitant-

/Duck/: >Well before we continue I would like to engage a quick test to gauge your mental state.

-The screen clicked over to a neat little picture array. Practically a captcha though most of the questions had to do with identifying various extra-dimensional relics and nonexistent entities (though as Pent usually considered, it was more a matter of being nonexistent here than any notion of something being outright fictional). After a few minutes the test concluded and /Duck/'s virtual visage returned to the screen-

/Duck/: >You're still rating high on recognition, though anime is a definite weak point. It seems your issue is stemming from Slip mechanics rather than any personal deficiency. I cannot see this clearing up until the Mobius issue does unfortunately.

Well that's... Fine. It's just barely fine. Are you sure you don't have anything to help? I need to see what's coming...

/Duck/: >I'm sorry master, but Web MD doesn't have anything for 'I can't figure out what pop culture reference will happen next'. U-plus-1-F-9-1-4

No need to get snarky with me...

/Duck/: >Besides, you can just come up with plans on the fly. Like you do for everything that isn't the universe ripping off a piece of media.

Ugh... Sure that works...

/Duck/: >You should rest or obtain some other variety of mood improvement. Your tone is feeling very... Upset. Would you like me to boot up some soundtracks?

Sure, but hold off until I get to bed.

-He picks up the laptop and tucks it under his arm before wandering off to wherever he was sleeping tonight-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Jesterstaka roars out in pain at the Slashing while the Jestana takes the brunt of another blast displeased with what happened.

Another crack.

The Jesters looked down as the floor cracked again.

"Oh no," they said together.

A third crack, the floor began to crumble.

"Welp! Hope you all have a nice trip, we'll see you in the fall!"

The floor broke, and down everyone fell, right to the cellar below where the light of the barrier could be seen, fizzling.

The Jesters landed with a splat and reformed into regular Jester, "Ow."

He looked over at the barrier, "Oh yeah you! Hey kids wanna see what's behind this thing?!"

Shaun: "Sure! After we grind every bit of you into dust."

Tsunami: <When I'm through with you, you'll have been atomized!>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

-after an awkward period of carrying, followed by the embarrassed realization that they could take the scarf off of the sleeping Pollen and Ceal, Megan and her team have arrived here-

-they've moved into one of the rooms, the entire team out, as it tends to be, here-

Donnel: <This place is amazin'!>

Lissa: <And it's not a palace or something?>

Pippy: <I heard people live here, but no royalty or anything at the top—it's mostly a collection of stores and houses for people! ...admittedly rather rich people, I believe, but I digress.>

Lissa: <Do you have a bunch of marketplaces-slash-neighborhoods that look like this?>

Pippy: <I...only know of this one? There are other marketplaces, called "malls", but none I know of quite this large. It's impressive!>

Donnel: <It's...very bright.>

Pippy: <Also that, yes.>

-Pollen stirs-

Megan: -grins from the bed- It's good to see you're up and moving. Had fun?

Pollen: -yawning- <That was a lot of new flavors and stuff. Tasted horrible. It was fun, yeah.>

Megan: -beaming- That's good to hear!

Uh, I wanted to thank you, for responding to the hug thing. It was...an unexpected gift. ^_^

-Pollen looks at her, and sees...Megan's aster Aura practically glows with happiness, even now-

-...-

-is this what it's supposed to be like?-

-...-

-wow-

-she just sits and basks for a bit in the strange new sort of accomplishment-

-Ceal stirs-

Pollen: -remembering- <Hmm...oh yeah, there was a thing I had to tell you...>

Megan: -curiously- What is it?

---

SILAS IS WHAT?!

-a number of startled birdmons take flight, yelling profanities or otherwise exclaiming in offense at the noise-

edited 5th Feb '18 7:07:23 AM by Asterisk395

No mind to think. No will to break.

-A startled birdmon bursts into the Center. Upon closer inspection, it is more accurately a startled birdmon automaton, modeled after a Taillow, wearing a Bronze Bird cape.-

DU-91: Hark, a cry of distress!

Megan, Pollen, Pippy: -blink-

Ceal: -confused yawn-

Thespi: -dramatic gasp- <It's the Bronze Birds!>

Tripod: -hero's theme jingle-

Thespi: -floating closer- <Are you here to help us in our time of need?>

No mind to think. No will to break.

-The little bronze Taillow salutes.-

DU-91: We are indeed, fair citizens! What is it that ails you? Is this "Silas" character the victim of some nefarious scheme? Or worse, the orchestrator of such a scheme?!
