"Alright, let's get him down," Colt decided as he sank into a shadow in an attempt to materialize beside the Rabbid with the visor and get him down and into custody.

He also bothered to banish the crosshairs he had focusing on the Rabbid to make things a little easier as he vanished, jacket and all.

 The Cathedral 

-Walking inside-

"Discovered" feels like the wrong term to use, I was led to this place by the guy who gave me my Dark Pulse scar. It was built atop an Aura Nexus.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Addie is on Logan's shoulder...but because Logan is Not Tall, bending down is still a thing that occurs-

Logan: -Mareepishly- Ah, welp. In that case, I'm kinda stumped on what it could've been.

Anyways, it's nice to meet you! I'm Logan, a Ranger on leave from Oblivia for work-related reasons.

Addie: -saluting- <Greetings! I'm Addie, their Partner Pokémon! Also on leave for work-related reasons...namely them. They're my work.>

-Logan stifles a chuckle, at that-

Emolga: -raising a paw- <Yo. I know these guys. They're not guys. Wassup?>

No mind to think. No will to break.

Lilycove Department Store

4th Floor

Leo: [Mt. Pyre, huh? Guess I have my next destination.] How much will it cost me?

Female Employee: (insert reasonable price here).

Leo: Sure, here you go! *hands the female employee the money* Keep the change!

Leo then joins Cerbeau and "August" on the rooftop, the latter is still holding the frozen Roggenrola doll, which still hasn't shown any signs of melting.

Leo: So, uh... Find any dolls you like, yet?

Human!Automa: *looking around* ...

Cerbeau: <So far, no. No, we have-.>

Then Automa suddenly grabs Leo's arm, leading him to somewhere on the rooftop.

Cerbeau: *following along* <Aaand I spoke too soon.>

Turns out that "somewhere" was a section of larger dolls, some of them based on Pokemon from other regions. One doll he's looking at is a golem-like doll with spots on its face that form an "H". Another is a blue quadruped Pokemon that Leo recognized as Gigalith.

Human!Automa: *clearly having difficulty deciding*

Next to the doll with the H-shape on its face is a similar-looking doll, but it's rounder and gray with the red dots on its "face" forming a hexagonal shape. Before long, Automa makes Leo snap back to reality.

Human!Automa: *having trouble holding onto it as a human, but tries to show it to Leo, anyway*

[insert something relating to myself here]

Brie: Hey.

Amanita: Hey! Looking good!

Brie: I feel great.

Ever: Modern medicine is a wonderful thing, isn't it? How's PEFE!Every?

Brie: She's bored mostly. I can't say I blame her.

Ever: Kalos does turn out to be kind of dull without a Gym challenge or imminent doom.

Brie: Yeah.

-...-

Pleth: <GET TO THE IMPORTANT BIT!>

Brie: Okay jeez you have a Key Stone?

-Ever holds up his arm-

Brie: That is very fancy.

Ever: (dryly) I'm thinking of having a Styler implanted next.

Amanita: Please do not.

Ever: You want to try? I don't know if I've actually got a relevant Mega Stone, but—

Amanita: Actually, wait.

-she takes the second stone from Ever, peering at it-

Amanita: Hey, Brie. This look like a Charizardite to you?

Brie: ...I don't know what a Charizardite looks like.

Amanita: Like a Charizard. But in a marble.

Brie: ...Then yeah, I guess so.

Ever: "Worst possible time", huh?

Salamence: <It is kind of an emotional low point for you.>

Ever: I'm fine. (to Brie) Here, let me give you a hand.

-she was more or less expecting this exact gag, and catches the arm with no difficulty-

Brie: This is uncomfortable.

Ever: Imagine how it feels for me.

Brie: ...Right.

-she sends out Skyfire-

Skyfire: <Brie! Good to see you back on your feet!>

-Brie smiles, and sidehugs the Charizard-

Skyfire: <Why do you have Ever's arm?>

Brie: I'm really not sure, but do you want to try Mega Evolution?>

Skyfire: <Yes. Absolutely.>

Brie: Alright then!

-she gives Skyfire the Charizardite, and takes a couple steps back-

Amanita: You'll need an opponent.

Dinacia: <I don't think a Charizard poses much more of an issue than a Sceptile.>

Pleth: <Listen here—>

-Ever nudges her-

Brie: Alright, let's do this.

-somewhat uncomfortably, she taps the Keystone on the arm-

Skyfire's Charizardite Y is reacting to Brie's Mega Arm!

Salamence: <I mean, it's really Ever's.>

Can you not?

-a cocoon of light surrounds Skyfire-

-Ever and Pleth lean in a little-

-the cocoon is wreathed in flames, burning away to reveal Skyfire. While she doesn't look a lot different— she's still the same height, her wings, tail, and horns all look...more. Two smaller wings fan out from her claws, which look significantly sharper-

-in short, she's the very model of a modern Mega Charizard-

-Y, just to be clear-

Brie: ...Whoa.

Skyfire: <Yeah.>

Brie: ...Feel okay?

Skyfire: <...I feel great.>

Amanita: You don't feel, like, angry or vengeful or anything?

Skyfire: <No more than average.>

-she turns to Dinacia-

<Hey, are we fighting or no?>

Dinacia: <We're fighting if you're fighting.>

Skyfire: <Alright then!>

-she rears back, and expels a Flamethrower at Dinacia-

-just as her Drought kicks into gear, and the park, despite it being almost midnight, is turned to noon-

-the column of flame is bright enough that Ever and Amanita look away. Dinacia forms a Protect barrier, and the flames part harmlessly around her, but the sheer force of the blast leaves her off-balance and staggering-

Skyfire: <...Incredible.>

Brie: ...Again. Whoa.

Dinacia: <I admit, that was more than I expected to deal with. Good job.>

Skyfire: <This really is a rush.>

Amanita: ...You're not about to like, go on a rant about how this is the only way to properly protect Brie, refuse to end the battle and turn back to a regular Charizard, and end up on a terrifying rampage that ironically gets Brie killed, are you?

Salamence: <They learn so fast!>

-Skyfire looks offended-

Skyfire: <Of course not! This power is...I mean, it feels great, but it seems really easy to lose yourself in. What kind of protector would I be if I did that?>

-and with that, the Mega Evolution melts away, the extra ornamentation dissolving into flames-

Brie: Are you alright?

Skyfire: <I'm fantastic.>

-...-

Ever: (to Pleth) So I guess we just uniquely suck.

Pleth: <Hmph.>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Channah: Alright... -says nothing more, just glances at Tagg once and then away to look around, following at a loose distance-

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

 Cathedral 

-Passing by some murals-

Very interesting place, it has art influences from all over the [Japanese] archipelago plus this island.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Channah: -shrugs- Art's okay. ...What does it mean exactly if this was built on a, uh, aura nexus?

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

 Cathedral 

An Aura Nexus is a place where the natural energies of the world meet. Aurics like myself gain a power boost while we're in their vicinity. The Aura Guardians, or to be more accurate their predecessors, were the ones who built this place.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Channah: ... -stares at the walls and ceiling- (What exactly went on in here? It's not really my thing, but... Tagg is connected to obviously powerful people through things like this. I'll never be...) So, this was like a rest stop for aurics? And who are the predecessors?

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Mordred: "It would be nice if I could get fucking signal."

"Artoria really needs to know this."

-Message failed to sent.-

Mordred sighs.

"Helix damnit."

There's a noise.

"... What was that?"

-SMACK!-

F!Robin: "Laurent, too..."

Morgan: "Everyone we find, while the reunion is happy, is concerning."

F!Robin: "Indeed."

Cynthia is currently outside practicing being a bird.

Cecilia: <And you've been fighting against these other... Pawn yard and Bi sharp since?>

Douglas: <That's the situation, yes.>

Ponyta: <Can't we just leave them to their fates? Isn't Pawniard culture just survival of the fittest?>

Douglas and Cecilia: <No.>

-A whimsur wanders by.-

Ponyta: <And what's with all these weirdly-colored and strange-looking Whimsur?>

Cecilia: <I was going to ask you the very same.>

Ponyta: <I don't have the faintest idea.>

Douglas: <Well, whatever they are, we have a war to plan. Aleph, please escort the rabbit from the command tent.>

Aleph: <Yes sir! Right this way, uh, Whimsur>

Rabbid: <Bwah?>

Aleph escorts the Whimsur from the premises.

Douglas: <That dealt with...>

He turns back to the map.

Cleffa!Lila jumped up and down behind Shaun, trying to get them to notice her.

Cleffa!Lila:<Hello? Notice mee! Notice mee!>

I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.

 Cathedral 

-To Channah-

I think it was some sort of training area, but its true purpose has been lost to time. Like, we're talking "in the time of myths" here Maybe Uxie would know since I haven't asked her, but no one else could. Not the Aura Guardian spirits from 1,000 years ago, those [Nivkh] Obscurics who come here like once a month to do their ritual at the Nexus itself and have been doing it since time immemorial, or anyone else.

I know in another universe the Vow was consecrated here, but there's no telling if that's anywhere near true for our own.

Cleffa!Lila tapped Shaun on the shoulder.

Alyesha: "Happy to meet you~ I'm Alyesha and I'm a cook~"

She gave a warm smile

Alyesha: "And I pride myseld on being a good listener~"

Matvey: <And I'm Matvey, we're partners since forever~>

The Armaldo chuckled at the remark as well

Matvey: <If you say it like this... I guess she's my boss~>

After saying that, he looked over to the Emolga

Matvey: <Not too much, what about you?> ^_^

Lumiose Hotel

Jay, thinking about things, walks into the room where Stylus and the Raichu are working on things.

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every

Stylus looks up, a screwdriver bit hanging out of his mouth as he's fixing up a computer, Sparx is powering a old fan that has just been fixed.

<Uuuuuuuuuuh...>

<Oh hey Silas it's your trainer.>

<I know that.>

Stylus takes the screwdriver bit out and looks at Jay, wondering what she will say.

Jay: "...Huh. You're working on this? Didn't expect something like that."

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every

Stylus sets down his current project and nods, stepping forward, ~C-c-can fix, m-m-machines.~

He gripped his head in pain again, telepathy hurt, how did everyone else use it so easily?

Stylus looked back at Jay and tilted his head, as if asking what she wants him to do.

Lumiose Hotel

Jay: "...Huh, you can fix machines?"

She seems to consider this for a bit.

"That means you could sabotage machines too? Maybe a car or something?"

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every

Stylus gave it some thought and then nodded, it would be easy, just had to alter a drive shaft to make it look like fatigue.

Wait why was he considering how to make it look accidental?

Stylus looked at Jay and quirked a brow, asking, "What do you plan?"
