Truth: Fun talking to you... Not. Now, to get to -
-the far wall of the cave shatters open in a cloud of smoke and dust; Truth doesn't move-
Another aspect steps out from the rubble, staggering and gripping the wall for support. It's another younger Channah lookalike, around fourteen years old, but this one is exhaling dark smoke and smoldering in cracks along her torn Ace Trainer clothing and skin as though magma is bubbling underneath. Small, malformed grey bird wings grace her back. When she looks up, her eyes are on fire.
Truth: -to the aspect- Aren't you supposed to be having a lie-down?
fire!Channah: -taking heaving breaths, her voice is low and vicious- You're not my mom.
Truth: I mean, I don't care. Be as self-destructive as you want. -to Tagg- ...This is Phoenix. Rage, competitiveness, and what little sense of justice I have. She got hammered by the "hurricane" and I took her in. One of the few I can tolerate.
Phoenix: Tagg... We finally meet... One of these days... I will defeat you in Smash with Zelda.
Truth: See what she's been reduced to? Keeps getting weaker and weaker.
Phoenix: I must win. This... will be a stepping stone. Tagg is the worthiest of opponents... and I am nowhere near his skill level in anything. Fucking disgrace. -turns to stare heavily at Tagg- Was Truth being an asshole again?
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.Helioptile: <Well, if you guys are leaving, I'm gonna go back to living in the desert.>
Ever: Nobody was going to stop you from doing that.
-the Helioptile scampers off-
-it's...a rather nice place. Surprising, considering the likely cost of apartments in the area. On the other hand, the furniture seems pretty cheap; essentially just metal frames in vaguely cubical shapes-
-Ever looks deeply uncomfortable-
Guillaume: -sweatdrops- Something wrong?
Ever: -snaps out of it- Zekrom, no! Just...you know.
-he gestures at everyone-
Long day.
-Guillaume's eyes go wide-
Guillaume: Right, sorry! Uh, I figure you and Mezzo can take the spare bedroom 'cause there are two of you...purple girl? Gray girl?
Amanita: Amanita.
PEFE!Every: Every.
Guillaume: You don't mind sharing the couch? I know it's narrow, but—
-PEFE!Every has already compressed herself into the corner of the couch like a snake. Amanita shrugs-
Amanita: Seems good to me.
Guillaume: I'll get a cot made up for the green one so Damascus can take care of her.
Brie: I don't want to be a bother...
Guillaume: Oh Yveltal's wings, you can't be serious. You're badly hurt, ...
Brie: Brie.
Guillaume: —I'll get you a mattress. Amanita, if you could—
-Damascus gently takes Brie from Amanita, applying Heal Pulse, while Amanita goes to join PEFE!Every on the couch-
Guillaume: Alright, bedroom's down the hall, bathroom's down the hall in the other direction, kitchen's on the right, and break.
-he heads off-
Ever: ...Well. (to Mezzo) I don't know about you, but I am going to sleep.
-he heads off in the indicated direction-
Ephemera: -blink-
-Happiny, Quilava!-

You know I was wondering when I'd meet an Aspect here that looks like a bird.
-To Phoenix-
You could say that.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Truth: When am I not. Anyway, to get to Deepest Self, you have to go through these caves and then across a field and then you'll see this big-ass crystal. I'll give you a boost because that takes too long.
-Dioh and Ten burst in-
Ten: -wildly looking around- What's going on? Oh. It's just Phoenix. Hi. -waves-
Phoenix: Oh gods I hate all your faces.
Truth: Same. Hmm... I think this is gonna take all of us, to break through. I guess we're going together. Ugh. -folds her arms, causing a veil of darkness to engulf everyone in the group before teleporting them out of there-

I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.EMPEROR takes a necklace.
EMPEROR: <I am skeptical, but will try nonetheless!>
He slips the necklace over his head and in short order there's a human where EMPEROR was standing. A rather tall and muscular human, with tan skin and dark blue hair. He's wearing a white short sleeved shirt, jeans, yellow boots, and an Empoleon themed coat he hasn't actually gotten his arms into.
EMPEROR: "..."
"WELL THEN."

Tripod and anyone else who can see underwater would see a wild-eyed Ratigan trying to keep Dawson's mouth open after having dragged him underwater.

Pyukumuku, having been submerged partially due to being used as a flotation device, saw Ratigan forcing Dawson to breathe underwater. She held up a finger to Enzo gesturing for him to wait as she went down further to do something about this.
As Sunny and Xatu attempted to psychically life Enzo and a few others out of the water and onto safety - the birdmon making note to use Miracle Eye first - Xatu explained why she ditched him.
<Ratigan’s under the docks.>
Roy removed his scarf and swung under the docks from their ledge.
Xatu held up a wing to stop Rei in her tracks. <His battle,> he said bluntly to the Ice-type.
Roy and Pyukumuku met under the docks, but not under the water. The Water-type attempted to get Ratigan’s attention with the middle finger.

Lila decided to tie the scarf in a bow in her hair. She took off her hairband and tied the scarf in her hair. The human who had been standing there had been replaced by a cleffa.Cleffa!Lila: <Why is everyone so big? Wait, why am I so small?!>

I'm alright. I feel essentially fine after a night's sleep.

Unsurprising.
-next to PEFE!Every, Amanita yawns, waking up-
PEFE!Every: Are you doing alright?
Amanita: Yeah. Just tired.
-she blinks, sleepily, and feels at her arm-
....Huh.
-there's a small cut on her left arm-
When did I get that?
PEFE!Every: Yesterday was rather eventful.
Amanita: ...Yeah, fair enough.

Hey, good news! I don't know if you check the news, but that darkness in the desert by Lumiose turned out be Zemmalise again, and we managed to drive them off! =D
Not by ourselves; a friend of Ever's helped us out big-time, but PEFE!Every has a pretty solid idea of what the deal is with their natural defenses! ^_^
Turns out they can be pretty readily bypassed by Mega Evolved mons. Fortunate, yeah? =)

From: Kai
Oh, that's good! Did you completely destroy it, or just drive it off for the time being? Either way, progress!
If Z-Moves and Mega Evolution are the notable things that can break through their defenses, is it safe to say that it has to do with Infinity Energy?

“Ah, fuck me,” Colt decided as he made an attempt to hide in his own shadow. It didn’t take and he was promptly Crunch’d hard, but he tried to defend himself.
Sylveon rolled her eyes and dashed towards Colt’s direction, spraying Category 5 to lure a couple of Brawlers towards the Steelix as Colt dashed behind Sylveon.
[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]-Nero gently sets Lila down-
Nero: Now where were we... Oh yes. umu! You need etiquette in your interactions with other players, umu! Don't just run off on- actually you've done a good job of sticking with us so congrats, umu!
Cavendish: What is she going on about?
Dakota: No idea.

Ratigan gets struck by the Electroweb and gets enraged by the Swagger. This unfortunately leads to him thrashing about and getting caught more in the net.
This leads him to let go of Dawson, even though the Dedenne has fallen unconscious.
Tromba is free to do what she will with Ratigan.
"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also EveryTromba: <Threat? Hmph. More like treat.>

Just for the time being. It's not just the defense, Zemmalise can take a lot of damage before dying. :/
But yeah, that's what Every thinks. These creepy soldiers from another universe could hurt it too, and they had some sort of weird...it was like, an augmentation based off a dead Pokemon. It's really gross to think about. :X
But it meant they could use a lot of energy too, I guess. So that gives us a sort of strategy going in next time! ^^

Upon Ratigan’s consumption, Roy, Pyukumuku and Rei all expressed their disapproval. <Shoulda suffered!> The Fire-type and Ice-type chorused.
Pyukumuku and Roy were lifted out of the water by Sunny and Xatu. <That could have ended happier,> Sunny observed.
<And not just because the wrong dude got eaten, am I right?> Ammy asked with a chuckle as the Blaziken and his fellow Water-type landed.
Everyone looked at her with confusion.
