Ever: I think there is a limit to the number of my cousins on whom you can hit.
But perhaps not. Though fair warning, she is straight.
...And taken.
...I'll talk to her.
-PEFE!Every is sitting at a table, with a piece of paper-
PEFE!Every: ...Can I have some time for this?
Amanita: Yeah, of course.
-she heads off-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Kai: Tragic but ultimately for the best! And with that said I will make the promise to refrain from hitting on Brie as well because you're absolutely right and me flirting with half your family could tarnish the sanctity of our budsness and I refuse to allow that to happen. I refuse, I say!

Titus: <Exactly, like this vacation we're on right now! Good stuff. Although there isn't as much food as I would like. Needs more protein.>
Lo: -to Sunny- <No, she is nearby. I doubt she's noticed.> -sighs-
Dolabella: -rolls his eyes- <Meh. Humans rarely give a shit about people saying no to them.>

Colt turned to meet the dog biscuit and nodded with enough force to shatter it upon contact. "You won't even have that," Colt spoke loud enough for Jester to hear. "Spare him. He won't understand and it'll haunt him until the end of time." He proposed.
Airport
"I try to acknowledge "no"," Colt admitted. "but I know I'm not perfect," he admitted as he instead elected to lean up against Sunny, who was being leaned against by Roy on the other side.
To her dismay.
"Ya mean she hasn't noticed, or she doesn't care?" Colt asked, not really paying attention to Sunny returning herself, Roy falling over and his head bonking on Colt's, or Roy's pained grunts as he rubbed his head, wondering how the hell that hurt so much.

Paul: I will see what I can do.
Miss de Nile is currently returning from a vacation to Alola, so you should be able to find her around Lumiose soon. Meanwhile, you do not know me. You will not hang around here.
-he then passes Jay a gray box-
This Jammer will help prevent you from being detected by Aurics and Psychics, such as the Delphox that likes to hang around our friend Montu. It will not hide you from me, so don't try to walk off with it.
Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?
Jay: "...Alright, sounds good. I'll stick around then."
"Here in Lumiose, not around the casino."

Anything bad enough to justify your means has the biggest barrier something can get. Gods, heroes and even narrative itself turn against an all-consuming threat

You want to know the biggest joke? From the first moment you existed within this world, you were doomed to failure. The heroes were decided long before you awoke from your slumber. Be thankful you got two good plots.

Ah, yeah that's a difficulty right there. I guess that is something that your little jaunt quote 'alone' unquote is good for in case there's any moles within the Team...

<I think I'm fine,> Roy said as he waved off the Tentacool and returned himself.
"Well, that's good to hear," Colt nodded. Then he paused.
<"Now what?"> Colt and Ammy asked each other as the Shiny Ninetales reached into Colt's jacket and drew the Orange Scarf.
"何" The kanji on her shirt read after she put it on. "Is your trainer doing anything fun?" She asked rhetorically.
"Ammy, c'mon," Colt halted as he placed a hand on her shoulder, having decided on his next destination.

Airport, last night
-To Pent-
Yeah...
-To Channah-
That's not exactly the word I'd use, unless you're being sarcastic.
Slateport, today
-To Channah-
Evening, enjoying the salty sea spray?
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Ever: Buds.
-he smiles-
Dr.s Leslie and Martin Dekalb-Owens,
Obviously this won't reach you. You would say that this letter is pointless, since it can communicate no information. But someone I trust much more than you disagrees, so.
I'm doing well now. Maybe not by your metrics, but I am. I have friends. I have family. I have my Pokemon back. I'm...sort of seeing someone, maybe. It's complicated, but I like her, she likes me, and we can both have lives outside of that. It's not what you'd call a meaningful relationship, but it is one.
I think it's becoming a common pattern in this letter that you were wrong about a lot of things. You were wrong about what Unigma needed, and it killed him. You were wrong about Pokemon, about me, about Dr. Tagg and Echo and Ever.
You were so stupid. So I'll allow myself some stupidity as well.
I still miss you.
Not...you, per se. An abstract concept of you. Not, I imagine, one that ever existed, or at least not one to which I was ever exposed. The you that was proud of me. I can't lie to myself to assume you ever really were. I was useful to you. Nothing more.
But I think every child wants to be useful to their parents. I'm aware that you exploited that instinct. And yet...it doesn't make it any easier.
I want to show you more things. I want you to tell me how clever I am, while you're just figuring out if you can use whatever I've made to further your goals. Because you don't care, and that means that when you tell me I've made something useful, you mean it.
That chance is gone now. If you had been smarter, perhaps we could have succeeded in our goals. But you weren't.
I think that was a shame.

"That's it, then," Colt observed as he grabbed Xatu's Nest Ball. The moment it opened, they vanished in a flash.

Colt materialized above the couch and landed, Amaterasu landing beside him with the kanji on her shirt becoming a bolder, "何".
Xatu returned himself and psychokinetically removed Colt's jacket and laptop back, throwing it elsewhere as Colt and Ammy leaned into each other, Orange Scarf vanishing to Colt's jacket's location. They slept on the couch, each collectively fatigued.

Pent and I? Well, I guess we're kinda close since we're like the most senior members of the J-Team still active Used to do jam sessions and stuff, but not as much as we used to be.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
"What? NO!"
Jester attempted to duck, so instead of a vertical bisection it was more a horizontal bisection. The top half of Jester lamely flopped to the floor of the cellar as the other half let out a ear piercing shriek, it was then gored by Gudrunn and it burned to the ground, no traces left.
Jester's eyes widened, he was afraid, he was afraid of death.
"Uh... you know you-" he quickly shut up, he was aware they weren't in the mood for mercy.
He attempted to change form and escape, but he failed. "What did they make that god damned blade out of?!"
He grew angry and indignant, "You don't know what's coming! There are worse things out there than me! If I had my way they wouldn't bother us, they couldn't! I'd render everything to the grand truth, the ultimate joke! Life itself!"
He crawled his way over to the stasis chamber, "All this over some princess... well not a princess anymore. Her people are dead..."
He looked over and grinned, "Well if I'm going to die. I'm going to get the last laugh!"
Jester conjured a dog treat in his hand, and chucked it right at Colton's head, laughing, "Go ahead! Kill me now!"
Jester looked right at Phaz and smiled big, tapping what would be his forehead, "Go ahead kid... I'm not a idiot. I know when I'm beat."
As they continued on, Hacks stretched a bit and cracked his knuckles, "Guh..."
Amber smirked, <Getting tired?>
"You know I'm a heavy sleeper."
<Not what I meant. You've been in human form so long, want to take a break from it?>
Hacks gave it some thought, "I suppose it cou-" <DIBS!>
The entire team looked at Amber, <Hey Silas said Hacks has to share the scarf, I called dibs. It's my turn!>
Hacks shrugged and removed the scarf, returning to pokemon form, stretching and shaking himself, ~Okay that does feel better.~
Amber smiled and wrapped the scarf around her neck, ready to try out human form.
*POOF*, it had worked, and there Amber stood in human form. 6 feet in height, "Whoa! Tall!"
Amber had green eyes, kantonian features, short-medium length amber red hair, and most notably a fair and muscled figure. She was wearing a simple cream coloured shirt, with blue pants, a pair of simple hiking boots on her feet.
"So this is what humanity feels like. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet," Amber was wearing the smuggest grin possible.
<I guess that means you're next Snakeye,> Tae remarked, Snakeye shrugged.
"Come on! Open the register!" The Punk wearing the Pink headband said to the man behind the counter.
His associates, a girl wearing a dark hood with a almost purple-ish aura coming off her hands, and another guy with ripped sleeves charging what appeared to be a aura sphere gave the Cashier serene calm smiles.
"I can't! I'm not allowed."
Pink!Punk clicked his tongue and snapped his fingers, a pink aura surrounded the Cashier and raised him into the air. "We ain't playing, we just want the money. And we'll go... NBD kay?"
Another Pink Headband Punk stepped up, "No safe in the back. This place is small time."
Pink!Punk looked at Pink!Two and said, "Or maybe you weren't looking hard enough. Did you just walk in, give a quick look and step out?"
"No..."
...
"Yes..."
"Spooky! Go with this idiot!"
Another Obscura Woman walked in smiling, unlike Shade, she gave off a cold feeling as they grinned and walked off to the back.
"Fighter, Shade, please show the nice man why we aren't here to waste time."
The two grinned and started tossing dark pulses and aura spheres, smashing up the store and even shattering a few lights. "Come on, I can't touch the register, you know how it is..."
Lights have been destroyed. More open opportunities now.
Team is prepared for confrontation.
Just passing by. Can take time.
"Alright. You know your places. Begin."
Pink!Two and Spooky started to overturn the backroom, searching around for the safe. Spooky being more observant than her partner, managed to find a small safe with ease, "Figures a franchise deal like this would-"
<Hey kids how's your health insurance?>
They turned around to see a Dusknoir looming over them, wearing a large red hat. Pink!Two panicked and tried to use a psychic attack, it failed, <APPARENTLY ITS GREAT!>
The Dusknoir drew back a fist and decked Pink!Two right in the face as Spooky attempted to sneak out of there only to be met with a large metal fist of white and gray to strike her. She went into a wall and groaned. Both were taken out of the fight.
Barbatos marched over to the two and looked at Alucard, <Did you need to waste time?>
Alucard smiled, <You tell me big guy.>
<We would've wasted more time and given them a chance to fight had you went any flashier.>
Alucard laughed, <Well whatever the boss says, I rarely listen to.>
Nothing from the backroom, until the smashes and mumbles. Pink!Punk blinked, "Shade... you might want to check that out."
Shade nodded, "Sure thing, just as long as I get a extra 5%."
Pink!Punk shrugged, "Sure why not."
Fighter was indignant, "Hey how come she gets extra?"
"She works harder."
Shade stepped over to the backroom door, saw her allies knocked out, and a door swing closed, "Oh no you don't!" she said as she charged out the door, finding herself outside, she looked about, and turned when she heard ~oh hi there.~
Shade was faced with a large aura sphere flying right at her face, her last conscious thought of the day was "I should have asked for 15%."
"Shade? Shade? Fuck!"
Pink!Punk was not happy, "Fighter, sweep the store... we might have someone trying to play hero."
Fighter nodded and began to walk about, he entered a darker part and looked about, closing his eyes and letting his senses drift, he activated aura sight, in a clear outline he realized there was someone behind him. It's face wasn't recognizable and it brought a singular finger to where its lips would be, before Fighter could turn around and fight, or even shout, he felt its arms wrap around his neck and begin to squeeze.
Fighter struggled, and exhausted himself, the figure putting him on the ground as he slipped out of consciousness.
Pink!Punk heard nothing, and after a minute turned to look around, "Guys? Fighter? Shade? Anyone?"
No one. He was alone, Pink!Punk cursed and dropped the Cashier, shoving him aside as he leaped over the counter and attempted to open the cash register, only for the computer to start talking to him in a surprisingly deep voice. "Sorry Space Cowboy, but this ain't a deal you can just crack open for the bounty. Now sit back, relax, and face what's coming next."
Pink!Punk was starting to panic, he looked about, his psychic powers were losing grip as he attempted to focus through his stress, as he looked about, he saw him.
The figure wasn't very tall, but had a white mask with two dark eyes staring into his soul, a black grin stretched across the face as it tilted its head under its hood. What appeared to be a blade in its right hand, and some tool in its other, Pink!Punk panicked and began to toss things with his powers at the figure, who blocked them as it strode forward.
Pink!Punk couldn't handle it anymore, and collapsed, exhausted and stressed. The figure turned to the Cashier and said, "Call the police now."
The Cashier nodded and pulled out his phone, dialing for the police, looking up, the figure was gone.
Hood down, mask off, Silas sighed, "Good work everyone. Thank you for the escape route Alucard,", his tone was soft and stoic, a even monotone that didn't get very high. His eyes had a few bags under them, and his hair was a bit of a mess.
Alucard shrugged, <I apparently have to be useful for something.>
Hacks looked at Silas, ~I still don't really approve of the vigilante stuff.~
Silas gave a lame shrug, "We were in the neighborhood. It felt wrong not to help. And hey it at least shows the training with you guys is working."
Hacks sighed, there was that. ~We still need to work on your social skills.~
