Isbrand: <Hark! Allow me to be the one who explains!>
("That Ninetales" has forced her way through the crowd and run straight up to Molph, Duolis and Lila. Her expression looks steely and determined now.)
Isbrand: <Forgive me, child - I failed to properly introduce myself earlier! I am Isbrand of the Frigid Peaks, Great Adventurer of the Alolan Archipelago, now exploring and saving the other regions of this vast and glorious world with help from my trusty squire, Altair, and my delightful human trainer Alexander! As for who Kali Yuga is...>
(She suddenly stops and turns in a
Isbrand: <Cease your irrelevant blather, Narrator! I wish for you to provide me with plentiful dramatic lighting and dynamic camera angles, befitting the speech I am about to make!>
(...Isbrand, you're in a text-based roleplay. Those effects are kinda hard to achieve in writing.)
Isbrand: <Then it shall be a valiant challenge for you to take on! Now unleash your inner cinematographer!>
(-sigh-)
(Okay, so the speech begins with an imposing close-up of Isbrand's stony face, complete with intensely shadowed lighting for maximum spoop.)
Isbrand: <I have met many villains in my time. It is only natural. As an adventurer, I am a stalwart travelling force for good and justice. To thwart those who would spread evil is my purpose for existing! But...>
(Camera comes in even closer. Isbrand looks straight into it, her expression foreboding.)
Isbrand: <None can match the terrible nature... the sheer unfettered depravity... of the Dread Mistress herself! My arch enemy, Kali Yuga!>
(Camera zooms out rapidly. Dramatic lightning flash even though it's the middle of a lovely sunny day.)
Isbrand: <Since she was a young Mareanie, Kali Yuga has wanted nothing less than the absolute subjugation and debasement of all people and Pokemon! I remember when I first met her, as a tiny Vulpix... I alone was tasked with stopping this demon in starfish form from rallying a soul-consuming army of Palossand to her dread cause! It was the moment I truly realised how taxing the adventuring life can be... but I persisted! Little Isbrand knew the cause she was destined to follow!>
(Camera sweeps over Mauville from an angle that makes Isbrand look tall and majestic. Lighting is bright and highlights her silvery fur. Epic orchestral score plays, probably commissioned for 50p from some sub-par Hans Zimmer impersonator.)
Isbrand: <Her evil has only grown as she has! Lord Arceus only knows what terrible schemes she is planning within this great bustling metropolis - but as always, I am here to thwart her! I can only warn you to be vigilant! And should you see anything resembling a plot of a Dread Mistress-y nature, contact me at once and we shall combat her together!>

“What’s up?” Colt asked as he lifted up his back from the ground and summoned an illusory pillow to support his weight.
He had the Orange Scarf in his right hand, which Leo would probably recognize.

Amaterasu fidgeted. “That does kinda remind me that my trainer was called a Mind of Crystal, whatever that is.
“But the point still stands that that’s a little uns-” She snapped her fingers. “I have an idea, but you’re gonna have to trust me,” she said as she wrapped her hand in her scarf.

-So.-
-You may have been wondering what the Enforcers have been up to-
-Well...-
Zumi: All girls to stations!
-Indeed they are crowded around computer screens-
Leeya: Mayday, mayday, she's been spotted!
Sora: Thar she blooooooooows!
Gina: ...She's tall, not thick.
Sora: I just wanted to say it OK?
Leeya: Anyway, this program has determined where exactly in Rabbid territory Gudrunn's base is!
-she zooms in on a map of Unova-
It's... Somewhere in Reversal Mountain.
Zumi: A... Volcano? Why would she hole up there...?
Gina: Knowing her, probably the aesthetic.
Sora: Well? Call Reina!
-She is about to press a key when the door opens and Jared peers his head in-
Jared: ...What are you guys doing?
-Beat-
Gina: We're... playing... Video games! Yeah!
Jared: Oh, cool! What kind?
Zumi: [WARCRAFT]
Sora: -simultaneously- [BLOODBORNE]
Jared: Never played either of those... but could you keep it down? We're having a movie marathon.
Leeya: Sure thing!
-Jared nods and closes the door-
Gina: ...Glad he didn't catch us in the middle of anything kink-
Sora: Now where were we?
-She presses a few keys and speaks into a mic-
-Reina gets the message via an earpeice-
-She grits her teeth-
-She's going to need to tell someone else. And soon.-

Leo: *looking at the Orange Scarf* Y'see, ever since Automa evolved, he's been in his Ball a lot more, and... I'd like to get him one of those thingies that turned your Pokemon human, if it means he could be out more. Like that scarf you have in your hand there.

-Megan and Pippy stare in wide-eyed, only slightly frightened wonderment at the Mad Science, complete with Mad Science Laughtm-
Megan: Oh woooooow...!
Pollen: <...I...I don't know how to describe what I'm seeing...> @_@
Rabbid!Megan: -cheerfully- BWAH BWAH BWAH BWAH!
-everyone's a bit too engrossed with Dezi to see Reina's tension-
Thespi: -looks over from her frantic plotting, hopeful at the possibility of rapid advancement through this plot- <Yes! Yes, let's find him immediately and hope it's a nick-of-time thing and not a moment-too-late.>
-looking at Amaterasu, hearing a classic lead-up line-
-attempting to play the other part- <"We don't have much choice"..., but...yes, I trust you.>
-the Plusle and Minun, on the other hand, seem subtly, strangely alive with all the excitement-
Plusle: <I think his hat's here somewhere, maybe. I dunno.>
-she glances around-
<Hmm...you're a Dedenne, ain'tcha? Maybe try contacting him—>
-she flicks her own whiskers, indicating Dawson's antenna-shaped ones-
<—and see if that turns up anything?>
Minun: <...we've got a hostage.>
-with her foot, she nudges the fainted Togedamaru minion-
<...let's pump 'em for info.>
Tripod: <...>
-Tripod seizes the Togedamaru magnetically and secures them tightly, then prepares to channel an entire Zap Cannon into their temporary Volt Absorb-
-if not interrupted, and if they come to, they would be met with a lot of strangely-Vaporeon-sounding menace-
-Chrom scratches his head-
Chrom: <Odd, I had Falchion at hand when I arrived, if in a new form. If not for the empty scabbards, I'd have guessed they'd have somehow fused with your claws or tail...>

Volpe rubs his eyes, presumably to wipe away the tears from his meltdown earlier.
Volpe: I worry about that kid, I really do, I don't think he quite knows what he's gotten himself into joining a rather rotten organisation like Interpol in the first place...
Solana: Interpol is rotten?
Volpe lowers his hands and looks at Solana.
Volpe: A decent organisation would have never hired a man like Finnegan in the first place.

"Uh, yeah, sure," Colt offered as he threw the balled-up Orange Scarf at Leo. "But how do you know this will get him to come out?" He crossed his legs as the illusory pillow shifted into a lawn chair, the back padded by his jacket.
Kazuma had returned himself.

Volpe points at Tagg.
Volpe: Ya' got me there.
Volpe sighs, and picks up his frosted over croissant and takes a paltry bit out of it.
Volpe: So that's all I got to tell ya'. On the likely chance Finnegan joins and tells Blondie about your involvement, at the very least at first he'll only have one name to go by. But if I know Blondie, and I do, he's one persistent bastard, and he'll hunt down the names of the rest of the participants diligently. So sharpen your wits and your blades and get ready, because I think the next few months are gonna get rough.
Solana curiously tilts her head at Volpe.
Solana: How do you know Constantin anyway, Volp?
Volpe dismisses her with the flick of his hand.
Volpe: Not the time for that.
Solana gives a disappointed hum, before looking over to Tagg.
Solana: So should we be getting on our way?

Basil's hat is probably around somewhere, yeah. Looking would probably result in it being found quickly.

Leo: *catches scarf* Well, hopefully he'd be able to get out more because we wouldn't have to worry about him doing too much damage, even if he'd be a human. Is there a catch like with the other scarf?

Colt looked up and waved, recognizing Leo, if not his Golurk. He leaned back and exhaled, the Orange Scarf back in his hands with Helmsman refusing to materialized.
“Whismurs that look like us,” he summarized as he sent out Kazuma, the Whismur toting the gray jacket with pride only his human counterpart could possess. “and their Porygon 2 friend.
“Actually, where’s Beep-O?”

“What makes a tiara so terrifying?” Amaterasu asked bluntly, her shirt reading “皇”. “Wait, does it play cheesy children’s cartoon opening tunes?” She asked rhetorically and chuckled a bit, the shirt then reading “悪” before becoming “音”.
