ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Ever narrows his eyes-

Ever: Well. Good to know he's not going along with things.

-Muninn breathes a sigh of relief-

Ever: What project?

-...-

-Muninn's eyes go wide-

Brie: Ever. We should go.

Ever: What project, Raticate?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Kai: Oh, you know. If I'd been there and seen Jacob in three pieces personally, probably would have set off my PTSD again, sent me into another depressive spiral, and depending on whether it would have been before we went to find my sister, worse might have happened. Who knows. It's a pattern.

-She turns her head to look at the tattoo artist-

Kai: Hey, you guys promise to keep this whole conversation confidential?

Tattoo Artist: Uh... sure?

Kai: Good, the world will make sure to hold you to it.

Tattoo Artist: ...Um.

-The artist ignores the sudden chill and gets back to the tattoo-

Soleil: <Yeah! We're both from Nohr!>

Corrin: Uh, it's more complicated than that... But, yes, we at least know each other in some way.

“Well, I guess we’re chasing ‘em down, then,” Colt decided as Kazuma and Sunny retrieved the weaponry and then returned themselves. Colt donned his Blue Scarf and let it settle around his neck.

Talbain chased after the Rabbid with Accelerock after sanctioning off a little time to use Rock Polish.

Chrom: -smiling- <Then welcome to the Shepherds, however temporarily it may be. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.>

No mind to think. No will to break.

Vi: "..."

Metagross: ~...~

Vi: "I have made a mistake."

Metagross: ~Glad you noticed.~

Vi: "We should get out of here."

Metagross ~Once again, glad you noticed.~

Vi sits down to type something at her computer, prints it out, staples it to the door, stuffs some non-mobius-uniform clothes into a bag, along with her personal computer. She then grabs Raijinto and Seigfried.

Vi:"Come on."

Metagross: ~Where are we going?~

Vi: "... Good question. Just... not here."

Metagross: ~Snowpoint, then.~

Vi: "No, they'll come looking."

Metagross: ~Pick somewhere then, woman.~

Vi: "... Fine. Just... Snowpoint. We'll figure out where to go from there."

The two manage to depart unimpeded.

---

The mobius engineer who Vi knocked out wakes up.

Engineer: "Uuugh... my head. Wait Vi where -" he sees the note on the wall. "Huh?"

Engineer Johnson: "... Well, fuck. I should go show this to the boss. And tell him about that sword..."

Johnson rubs the side of his face.

Vi: "... Yes, I did leave a resignation note. It seemed polite."

Metagross: ~... Viviane Ryougi you are hopeless at this.~

Vi: "... At what?'

Metagross: ~The spy game. Being a fugitive. Which Mobius probably now considers you, given some of the things you saw. You know, what drove you to do this in the first place.~

Vi: '... At the very least I need a belt."

Metagross: ~Vi, no. I will not allow it.~

Vi: "I have a unique opportunity and I will wear Seigfried and Raijinto on my hip if it kills me."

Metagross: ~At this point it very well could!~

Vi: "Shush."

Artoria: "Um, well, I'm her girlfriend.."

"So yes hello."

F!Robin: "Well... we should probably head back to Mauville, someone there should know either where

Xander: <Yes, if heading to this... Mauve ville will get us to our sister, we would be eternally grateful.>

Ryoma nods in agreement.

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

".. Well. So much for not frightening it." Daydre takes off after the cyborg Rabbid.

Rabbid!Daydre, upon noticing she'd been left behind, gives chase as well.

Seafloor Cavern

The Raticate's expression shifts to one of anger and gritted teeth.

Ratigan: <Don't call me Raticate.>

He snaps a claw.

A certain small metal object falls from the roof of the cave right above Brie's Head.

Semigloss: <I...don't know what a Nohr is. But it's good there are other people here from it!>

-she chirps at Artoria-

<Are you both heroes too, then?>

-Ever and Brie are both occupied in glaring at Ratigan, and so only notice the small metal object when it lands on Brie-

Brie: Ow!

Ever: Huh?

-he turns to look at her-

-and freezes-

-...-

-there's a click-

-Brie collapses, screaming-

-Ever blinks once-

-and sends out Marmalade-

Ever: Grab Brie. Use Earthquake.

-Marmalade zips across the room, scooping up Brie, who is still screaming, a single unbroken note-

Marmalade: <What's with her?>

Ever: Something that can be dealt with once you use Earthquake.

-Marmalade takes stock of the area-

Marmalade: <I'm not doing that. This is the Seafloor Cavern.>

Ever: Obviously it's a—

Marmalade: <No, the Seafloor Cavern. Kyogre lives here. I may prefer Groudon, but I'm not about to collapse the homes of any god I've ever said a prayer to.>

Ever: ...Fine then.

-he gives Ratigan a slight smile, completely devoid of good humor-

Boomburst.

Marmalade: <...You're really betting our lives on escaping this, huh?>

Ever: Just do it.

Marmalade: <...HEY KYOGRE WE'RE INVADING YOUR TURF>

-and waves of sound batter the room-

Marmalade used Boomburst!

Ever: And now we go. Estoc!

Estoc: <I don't even get to eat the—>

Ever: Go!

-Estoc hops back into the water, Ever leaping onto him and Marmalade following, Ever recalling her and grabbing Brie as Estoc forms a Dive Bubble-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Seafloor Cavern

Ratigan is blasted back by the Boomburst and tries to get his bearings. He yells something out to Brie.

Ratigan: <Human! Stop them!>

While this happens, a Floatzel runs up and tries to pop Estoc's bubble with a Slash.

-Brie is currently not capable of doing anything but screaming and twitching-

Ever: -hisses-

-the bubble pops, and Estoc is forced to resurface to avoid drowning either of his passengers-

Ever: Muninn, make yourself useful and get rid of them.

Muninn: <Ri—>

Ever: Stop talking and do it.

Muninn: <...>

-he nods, and charges the Floatzel, pompadour-first-

Muninn used Woodhammer!

-Estoc, meanwhile, begins creating another Dive Bubble-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Seafloor Cavern

The Floatzel is knocked back, having taken a lot of damage.

The cave shakes and Ratigan barks out an order to evacuate. All of his goons move around trying to grab what they can while the Espurr heads over to Ratigan.

None of Ratigan's group stops the Memito's departure.

-The group comes across another Rabbid battlefield, populated by striped and bouncy Rabbids-

-Before the group can inspect it further or prepare for combat Beep-O buzzes again-

Beep-O: Oh! I have another email!

-Molph groans, stirs, and gets to his feet.-

-...Wait, he has feet again?-

Human!Molph: -looks at himself- Wait, how...

Duolis: I have a... very specific brand of weremon curse. It only spreads by a form of cutting, and it only works on fellow Ghosts, letting them into Obscuric humans at will. Or so I was told. It seems to have worked on you.

Molph: Well I'm sure glad you did! You scared me... half to death.

Duolis: -giggles- You're welcome. Now come on. We have work to do.

-they head to Mauville-

Shizuo: ...Miss Heiwaji-

Ms. Heiwajima: How do you know my name?!

Dynamo: <Don't panic, any of you...>

-Ever holds up a middle finger as Estoc flees-

-and they're out into the ocean-

-which means there are other issues-

Ever: ...Right. Okay.

Muninn: <You'll want to—>

Ever: I understand that you think you can help, but if you say another word I will exorcise you right now.

Muninn: <...>

Ever: Brie, can you hear me?

-she continues screaming-

Ever: ...Right. Breeze.

-he sends the Chimecho out-

Breeze: <Hey Ever! What's that— ...>

<...Is that a—>

-Ever nods-

Breeze: <...Oh.>

Ever: Check her mind. Make sure it's safe to break it.

Breeze: <...Oh...>

-his eyes glow-

-...-

-...-

Breeze: <It's not yet fully integrated. You can break it now without...side effects.>

-he leaves unspoken the exact nature of the effects in question. Ever's perfectly aware of them-

Ever: Good.

-and he takes the tent peg and does just that-

-Brie screams again-

Ever: ...

-and then coughs-

Ever: ...

-and Brie starts to sob-

Ever: Oh, thank Arceus.

-he hugs her-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Ratigan rings a bell and the Espurr lets out a meow as the cave shakes.

Ratigan: <Oogh...>

He kicks Fidget.

Fidget: <Hey, what was that for, Boss? We got out didn't we?>

Ratigan: <We had to throw away the resources for that first tiara and the sub! And it takes a while to take effect. I'll have to keep that in mind...>

The Espurr, meanwhile, looks exhausted.

Ratigan: <Aw, don't worry baby, we'll get you a nice snack...>

He looks at the group.

<Any volunteers?>

The mons panic and go searching for some food.

-Given the primary means of exiting and entering Sootopolis, it's not uncommon for people to show up soaked to the skin, so Brie and Ever attract less attention than they might-

-this is convenient because it lets them find an out of the way place to sit down-

Ever: Are you alright?

Brie: No.

Ever: That's fair.

-they sit there for a while, Ever holding Brie as she sobs-

-...-

-...-

-...-

-...-

Brie: We should...we should probably... let people know.

Ever: ... -sighs- Yeah.

Ever: Do you want to get back to the Stormchaser?

Brie: I want to sit down and...enjoy having control over...my thoughts and actions.

Ever: Okay.
