-speaking of walking, Ever evidently did decide to walk the whole way, and is only now getting there-

-Spathi, who had no interest in walking but just didn't want to carry Ever, touches down next to him. Ever pets the Salamence's neck-

Spathi: <I can't help but feel as though you're trying to prove something.>

Ever: It's mon rotation.

Spathi: <Sure.>

Ever: Have I ever lied to you?

Spathi: <Have you ever lied to anyone? I don't think it necessarily means you're being truthful.>

Ever: That's probably fair, but can we table this for now? Promise, we can pick up later.

-he crosses his heart-

Spathi: <...Huh, you are serious.>

Ever: Yes?

Spathi: <We're good, don't worry about it. I've been busy with the kids anyway; it's not like I was going to go out and battle while they were still branching.>

Ever: ...Oh.

Spathi: <Maybe a better topic would be why you're so wound up about this, huh?>

Ever: You know, it's unfair that not only are you a flying weapons platform, you're also more perceptive than I am.

Spathi: <Us dragons are naturally superior that way.>

-gently bickering, the two reach the rest of the group, Ever waving and Spathi letting out a friendly growl-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Librarian: Faking your death to avoid library fines is a rather extreme measure...

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

EMPEROR: <OI! What do you mean villains?! You attacked us!>

He struggles against the Grass Knot, but can't get out before The Noble Elemental makes his exit.

Tabitha grabs Azure again and avoids the worst of the Earthquake. They still get hit, though.

Azure: <Agh! Why'd you pick me up?!>

Tabitha: <You would've complained even more if I left you behind and let you get hit.>

Azure: <... That's true but you didn't have to say it.>

Daydre and her Rabbid counterpart don't fare nearly as well, and end up getting jostled around.

off the shits

Banquo: "I..."

"Okay, I don't remember much of what I did before I died, but I am most definitely dead, lady."

He shifts back into a Banette to prove his point.

Stylus may find something odd in the hotel as he heads back to the room.

That odd thing might well be a Lampent, doing some equivalent of pacing, floating in and out of the room.

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

Stylus blinked at the Lampent and wondered what it was doing here.

<Uh? Hello? What are you doing?>

Lumiose Hotel

The Lampent is a bit startled when someone addresses her but looks at Stylus.

Lampent: <Oh, uh, hey dude. Just kinda... taking stock of what kind of situation I've ended up in.>

Logan: -openly- Oh, no secrets here, just a little worried about the kind of weirdness this store you were talking about had. Investigating bad stuff is sort of my job, and I was trying to see if it was a bad kind. I'm sorry if I was being scary.

Addie: <...was she talking about us?>

Zippy: -shrug- <Most humans wouldn't get nervous about Pokémon keeping secrets. At least not by whispering.>

-Logan smiles at Alyesha and takes a seat, apparently not understanding Zippy's words at least-

Logan: -to Alyesha- Thank you~

-to Lila- Internal monologue? Nice. As for what brings me to Mauville...

I have no idea! ^_^;

That friend of mine sent me here, but didn't tell me why. I'm trying to figure it out...that store seemed like a good lead, but it could be a half-dozen other things as well.

-curiously- But enough about me. What brings you to Mauville? =)

No mind to think. No will to break.

Lila shrugged, still fidgeting with her pendant.

Lila: I'm just passing through here on my way back to Alola. I've been travelling for about two years now and I'm on my way home for awhile. Sorry for being a bit spooked earlier, it's just that suddenly everyone seems to be acting super secretive. It made me think about the time when... something happened.

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

-The other Rabbids fire their weapons, the Hoppers Bouncing and the Smashers lunging with their blocks-

-Rabbid Kong for one attempts to grab people then slam them into the ground... after itching himself with them first-

Jackie: I dunno, I always liked the museum.

Jared: And I could always go for the food.

-Valerie touches down and waves at Spathi-

-Nero struggles out of the Grass Knot as well-

Nero: <Ugh... What was up with that guy, umu...?>

---

-Meanwhile, Neon looks at the two Nest Balls-

Neon: Good thing I got that tipoff on a rogue Tropius and Darmanitan threatening the city...

-he looks at his phone in confusion-

Question is from who...

---

-Izaya smirks and puts away his phone-

Svin: <Er, yeah, we know him. He brought us here.>

-A Thundurus pops out from the sparks-

The Genie: <Gooooood morning Agrabah! Been a while, hasn't it?>

Marina: <Oh hey Genie!>

Pinwheel Forest

-Deziree, still winded, takes a small wheeled vehicle from her backpack, puts it on the ground, hits a switch on the back of it, and watches it roll off, looking for an enemy to explode next to. Dezirabbid, meanwhile, hides behind a wall before taking what look to be a bundle of firecrackers out of her jacket.-

-And then one notices that each of the "firecrackers" are small bottle rockets.-

-Very colorful bottle rockets.-

Shinobi: <Yeah. Even if he forgot how to get the door open. And we found you, so it's definitely good we came here>

-He tries to stick his hands in his pockets out of habit as the walked, only to be reminded that he didn't have any currently-

<Eh ...Guess Senshi's still out there though.>

Down: <Excellent>

^v^

<We were going to investigate that temple and see what's going on there, and we were hoping we could find Freya before we left to ask some questions. Do you know anything about her or what's going on there?>

-Tilt-

-Kai waves to Ever as he re-arrives.-

Rose: Uh. I mean, uh, museums aren't... aren't really something I'm super interested in right now? I dunno.

Kai: Well, there's always another time.

-A completely innocuous Pidgey lands on Kai's shoulder. Kai sweatdrops.-

-Pippy and Vee throw themselves in front of the prone Megan, intending to push Rabbid Kong back, and are grabbed-

-Vee, being liquid, slips through his fingers, but watches, cringing, as Pippy is scratched against him-

-at least trying to make the process unpleasant and possibly banana-depriving with a tangle-y, steely Pluck-

-before getting slammed into the ground-

Pippy: <ow.> @v@

Megan: -grimacing, manages to slap the cannon setting back, shoving the barrel at one of her legs to fire-

-relieved- -haaaaaaaah...

-she hits her other leg, then struggles to try to stand again, and is promptly bolstered by Pollen rocketing in from the sky and dropping a HP-Grass-energy Pollen Puff on her-

Pollen: <I'm here!>

Tripod: -magnet greet-

Logan: Alola? Nice, I have some friends from there.

Zippy: <Speaking of, new package for the good doctor.>

Addie: <Ooh.>

Logan: -concerned- "when something happened"? Want to talk about it?

No mind to think. No will to break.

Lost Shrine

-Heading down the stairs-

Sylph:<Yeah...I can't even tell where he is...>

Facade

-Did Kainé's "eyebrow" twitch when Svin said "He?"-

-Eh, probably not-

-more scribbles-

Fyra:

-beat-

-scribble-

-Rabbid Kong is hit by the explosion from Deziree's drone and a Meteor Mash from Chrome and roars, sending another Earthquake-

-He then gobbles down some bananas, healing noticeably-

Beep-O: <Oh no! He's practically invulnerable while he has those bananas!>

Jared: Food then! There's gotta be some good cheer-up food around here.

Rosetta: -to the Pidgey- <Hello, Rainbow One.>

Valerie: -looks at Rosetta then Bird Stares at the Pidgey-

Svin: <Er, whoops, she. Gender is weird.>

Mul: <Er, yes, we'd like to go to the temple. Please...>

Mandrake pokes Shinobi as the group heads down the stairs.

Mandrake: <I wanted to inform you that your sister's worried about you. I could send anything you'd like for me to tell her.>

<Also Gogie got kidnapped, but we probably can't do much about that.>

Agrabah

Iago's cage goes flying as the sparks collide with it and he lets out a squawk.

Chum: <...Genie? You're back? I thought you were doing that world traveling thing.>

Shinobi: <I doubt he's gonna give up easily, he's still got a kid to visit when we're done after all>

-Ghost shoulder pats-

<He'll probably manage until we can track him down>

-The frog is poked-

<Eh? Oh... Yeah not much we can do there until we get back home. Guess you can tell her I'm fine?>

-Beat-

<...Wait, how'd you hear about that in the first place?>

-Does the birb notice the faux-pas? A good question-

Down: <Yes! And maybe if you could tell us what you saw there, it might help us figure out how to make it safe again>

Lila smiled awkwardly.

Lila: Nah, that was years ago, I'm fine, but,

Lila turned to zippy.

Lila: Who's the good doctor?

Pinwheel Block Tower

<So we’ll have to separate him from his supply, and then attack him directly,> Lucario observed as he fired Category 5 into a cluster of Rabbids before dashing off upon noticing he had caught a Brawler in the crossfire.

“Or...” Colt smirked as he sent out some Firescura towards the pile of produce before dashing off in an opposite direction from the Brawler, firing Sylveon’s Desire at whoever seemed to need it the most.

Who was his ally, of course.

Kazuma bounced off of his trainer’s head and slammed facepalm over two into a Ziggy’s head from above.

Agrabah Palace

Sunny and Roy backed up visibly upon the Thundurus showing up. Roy didn’t even know why, something about this ‘mon demanded subservience from him. He just stayed backed up with Sunny, however, just because it would otherwise be a little awkward.

Ammy, however, smiled as her shirt’s kanji read “天”. She didn’t say anything, merely staring and squeeing. Everything was about to get much more fun, she figured.

Alyesha meanwhile waited, seeing the two had started talking to eachother, she didn't want to interrupt, instead bringing her card so they could choose their food, they'd notice that her card had a bit of everything, from every major region along some new creations as well
