Nino: -to Igor- Hey... You belong to one of the researchers here? Then... You're an enemy! -attempts to stop the mon with a Fire spell-

Legault: -looking up at the ceiling- Second-rate operation? Hm... -follows Nino-

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

"Claude": Good point. *thinks to himself* But he certainly could be worth further study.

Leo: *brings out Mau* You remember that Hydreigon's name?

Mau: <I think it was "Blitzwing", or "Blitzvink"? I couldn't tell with that accent of his.>

"Claude": I think he could just tell us his name again. Something tells me that this won't be the last time we'll see him.

In the heart of Pinwheel Forest...

Random!Blitzwing: *still laying on the ground* <It certainly von't be! Ahahaha!> ... [<...Who are you talking to?>]

As Blitzwing tries to get his bearings, he looks around and sees something orange back where he was chasing the group. Curious, he gets up (with difficulty)^* Hey, he DID just fall out of a tree and got the wind knocked out of him. and flies to the orange object.

-The little hallways lead to various smaller labs. Some of which have scientists in them-

-Dave, and Mia follow Tagg to the left main hallway. At the end is a massive room, with a large tank of serum, a large tank full of Magikarp, two large terrariums - one full of male Combee and one full of male Salandit - and equipment for extracting Infinity Energy-

-Jean and co. and the Weed Team go to the right, at the end of which is a smaller but still large room lined with Pokeballs on shelves-

-In the center of the room are two Pokeballs in highly reinforced cases - on the left a Beast Ball and on the right a Lure Ball. Notably the latter is shaking and twitching violently-

-This group may be able to hear a whimpering-

La: You have a lot to learn, kid. And speaking of I have to take you to the J-Team and know just the way to do it.

Dean whistles at the sight, "Alright, we better get looking for the off switch."

Mantis nods, ~There's always a off switch.~

Revolver shrugs, <Maybe it's a brainwashing center, actually give me some time with a scientist and my use of thunderwave, I'll have them talking.>

Jimmy looks at all the Pokeballs on the shelves, then to Gray and Raiden, then to the other groups.

"It can't be this easy right?"

Awakening Shirt Guy: "For the last time my name is not Carl It's Mark! And we just either got beat by the best goddamn cosplayers I've ever seen or video game characters."

F!Robin and co. pass the two bickering scientists and move deeper into the complex, trying to find stairs down.

Meanwhile, Cynthia, Morgan, and Sumia crash through a window.

Nobody is around.

Cynthia: "Let's go!"

Pollen: <And we'll kick his face again it he shows his butt around us! Ha ha h—ow...>

-she cringes in pain, which Megan notices-

Megan: Ah, are you okay? Hold on, I've got some—

Pollen: <Pfff, I'm fine, ha. No need for that.>

Megan: Pollen, no, that's not—

Pollen: -insistently- <I'm fine. I'm tough, I'm strong, it's nothing. cough.>

-at that, she recalls herself, before Megan can say anything else-

Megan: -processes for a moment, then lets out a confused, frustrated sigh-

-Igor is struck by the Fire spell and splutters, somewhat charred-

Igor: <AUGH!>

-batting out flames- <I—most thertainly—do not "belong" to one of thethe rethearcherth!>

-petulantly, crossing arms- <If you really mutht know, Dr. Ironthpine and I are looting.>

-speaking of which, the Togedamaru he was following drops from the ceiling at the doorway, hitting the ground with a clank of her own metal and gadgets-

Dr. Ironspine: <Hmmmmm...>

-she scampers over to the Infinity Energy extraction equipment and looks it over-

<...yesssss, I may find some use for this...>

-she attempts to take some set or component-

Random Muscly Evil Scientist: Ugh, whatever, Mar-Carl.

-Chrom does likewise, following her down-

-...-

Chrom: -eventually, at the bottom of the stairs- <So, where to now, love?>

-he looks between the two large paths to the left and right and the smaller ones around-

No mind to think. No will to break.

Nino: -stops in confusion- O-oh. Oh. I'm so sorry! Oops, um... -winces and ducks away, hurrying to catch up with the group that went to the right-

Legault: -nods to Igor- Ah. Good thieving to you, then. -follows Nino, then stops along with the others at the sight of the strange pokéballs-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Shaun: "..."

-He looks long and hard at the Lure Ball.-

Shaun: "That Beast Ball...I don't wanna think about fighting a Shadowed UB. But I don't think that's our biggest worry right now."

-He hesitantly reaches out for the Lure Ball's case with his right hand, hovering over it.-

-Jessica gasps a bit as she enters the room.-

Jessica: "Horrible..."

-Her ears droop. Achille looks at the Pokémon farms and then at Doctor Ironspine.-

Achille: <Not for their original purpose, I hope.>

-He and Jess hop off of Fluffle's back. The fire doggo sits on her haunches in front of the Magikarp tank, frowning.-

Achille: <That other tank...I believe that's the Fafnir serum.>

-Jakob's group finds a scientist in a MLB - as in My Little Blitzle, not Major League Baseball - shirt sleeping with a [Twilight Sparkle] plushie in his arms.-

Jakob: <Do we just...leave?>

Michel the Vaporeon: <Yeah.>

-They all turn around.-

Matthew: <I'm not even suprised the scientist has a [Twlight] plushie.>

-Upstairs, there's a loud "thud" as Tsunami throws a...Throh, appropriately enough, into a wall.-

Tsunami: <ARE YOU ENTERTAINED YET!?>

Ace: <Tsunami, dear...>

-He gestures at the piles of unconcious Mons surrounding her. Laurent simply slugs the Throh's trainer.-

Laurent: "That should be the last of them."

-Lucina nods.-

Gods why is this nerd so hot

-Sumia charges triumphantly into the room...only to see that there's no one to fight.-

Sumia: <...>

<Sorry, Cynthia.>

-Laurent nods at them.-

Laurent: "The others went downstairs. We should join them."

Ace: <Unless you would like to help Tsunami and me cover their exit, of course.>

Anna: <Why, I turned you, of course. You work for me and my husband now.>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

"Well okay then," Colt decided. "I'm just gonna try to avoid using your name as best I can," he decided. "Nothing personal - sorta - my throat just hurts."

By now he got to the door and exited. "C'mon, the Stormchaser's this way!" He announced, opening the door with one hand while still cuddling the plush. He pocketed the attached note into his laptop bag, which was definitely always with him.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Leo: Speaking of, can you show us where everyone else is? Y'know, in case he shows up again?

"Claude": Also, do you know where Colt is?

Mau: *not really paying attention, but instead just looks back into the forest they just ran out from*

---

Upon closer inspection, the orange object was a cloth of some kind. Blitzwing picked it up with one of his non-sapient heads.

Icy!Blitzwing: <Hm. One of zhem probably dropped it.>

He remembers seeing something similar called a "scarf"...

<Put it on! Put it on!>

Not really expecting much (besides clashing colors, anyway), he put on the scarf without much thought. Surprisingly, something happened, and he was almost immediately confused and kind of freaking out when he realizes he's touching the ground.

There is, however, a strangely tome-looking book on a table.

Cynthia: "Weird."

Morgan: "We should take it, just to make sure." -He dismounts and picks the tome up.-

Artoria: "... Yes, I suppose we are."

Severa: <Great.>

Marco attempts to run away but ends up tripping himself, unaccustomed to his new body. When Anna grabs him he can't do much but wriggle in her grasp.

Content Warning for Moderate Violence

Finnegan looks over the small lab he had just cleared out. The corridor wasn't too much trouble for him, undefended scientists who don't expect there will be trouble are among the easiest to break, but they weren't as satisfying as other potential targets. Over to the left, Gráinne slices down a Feraligatr. To his right, Tlachtga and Fionn dispose of Golurk and Mega-Steelix with an Energy Ball and Fiery Dance respectively.

Finnegan rolls his eyes at how easy it was to curbstomp these eggheads, before turning back to look at the scientist he grabbed by the throat, tightening his grip.

Finnegan: Now usually I wouldn't bother being charitable to mutts like you. However, I was given the order by the higher ups not to kill. Ta' make a good impression on our allies, of course

Scientist: -Through strangled gasps- I... Don't...*Hhrrrrrh* Understand..... *Hrhhh* What... You're saying... *Hrrrahrh*

Despite the fact that the scientist clearly doesn't understand a lick of Gaeilge, that doesn't stop Finnegan from continuing his rambles in his native tongue. His grip gets slightly looser so the Scientist can breathe, and the scientist immediately starts trying to pry herself from Finnegan's grip, to no avail.

Finnegan: I'm fine with playing nice and makin' allies! However...

Finnegan slams the scientist against the steel wall, staring her right in the face with a feverish look.

Finnegan: I EXPECT to be RESPECTED back! To be held in high regard! And what have these dear allies of Interpol treated me like since I got here!?

He slams her into the wall repeatedly.

Finnegan: Like scum! They were looking down at me! Starin' at me like I was some nasty piece of Stoutland shit! Not a single damn one of those fuckers showed me a fuckin' lick of respect! One even decided to just yank my sweet liquor from me without askin', that's how little they respected me! My reputation? My skills? My abilities? All of that meant fuckin' NOTHIN' to them! And I was just tryin' to be polite!

Finnegan stops slamming the scientist against the wall and instead draws her close, pressing his face against hers and staring down at her with maddened eyes. She was too battered at the moment to fight back and just stared at him, terrified.

Finnegan: But you know who really grinds my gears? Who really gets me all worked up and antsy? That FUCKING leader of theirs!

Finnegan squeezes the scientists neck again and looks away.

Finnegan: He knew I'm an Anti-Auric specialist because Volpe told him so! He knew that I would be able to pick up when fuckers are doing their think-talk shit! And yet he fuckin' did it anyway! Because that's how fuckin' little he Arceusdamned thinks of me!!

The scientist begins to foam at the mouth. Finnegan, noticing this, drops her on the floor and continues his rambles while she gasps and struggles to recover from his assault.

Finnegan: -In [English]- It's such a shame, too! He was this close to being able to click with me! Things coulda' been great!

Finnegan pushes over the scientist with his foot and leans over her, once again staring her right in the eyes.

Finnegan: -Returning back to Gaeilge- So what gave it away, you say? What ticked me off so much that I just had to vent my frustrations? I'll tell ya, it's the look. He can wear a neutral ass expression all he wants, but I know that fuckin' look when I see it. All Aurics have that fuckin' look. It's the look that nothin' in the world could possibly kill them. That death is the furthest thing from their mind. They're all so self assured that with their precious powers they could beat down anyone who stands in their way, especially if that someone is a lowborn normie.

Finnegan giggles. The scientist just shakes her head slowly, horrified and still not understanding a word he's saying.

Finnegan: Maybe they're wondering what they'll make for dinner tonight? Or which Pokemon to train next? Who knows? But it's those people... the people who never ever consider the mere possibility of death in my presence... So self assured that they'd even flaunt their powers openly while I'm in their presence.... Those are my absolute favorite people to kill. The expressions of horror and amazement they make before they die... While I'm squeezing out their guts like I'm making ground beef...

Finnegan makes a kissing motion with his hands.

Finnegan: That is the sweetest of all nectars~

Finnegan shakes his head and laughs, taking his foot off of the scientist and causing her to gasp for air.

Finnegan: -Back to [English]- But it's not the time for all that now!

He kneels beside the lady with a welcoming smile.

Finnegan: Thank ya' for listenin' ta' me! I was just so frustrated and havin' a friendly pair of ears around to vent my problems too really quelled my mood. Now...

Finnegan's expression becomes more serious and his tone less jovial.

Finnegan: Tell me whatchya all doin' here, and you know exactly what I mean by that, don't you?

The injured scientist nods slowly, panting from all her injuries.

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Bwah Bunker

-Pent's secluded himself away within the bunker to tinker with his sniper and ponder things-

-That clipped leg ached despite the treatment he'd provided to seal the flesh together again. He pondered whether it was glitched infection, a shard of mirror or merely some ticking debuff that pained him. It was annoying and he should probably consult an expert, but no such blessed doctor was known to him-

-One idea plucked past his mind and his eyes snapped open to go looking for the spherical element-cores of these weapons. His sniper was good, but it could use more    fire   -

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Mauville

Lila nodded.

Lila: Yep, she is. It's kind of a shame that I can only let her out when there is a pond or something, though.

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

-Jessica's tails flick in annoyance.-

Anna: <Because you don't have a choice. No one would find your body down here, but I detest murder. There's a reason this cellar was inspired by [Poe].>

-She begins to walk towards one of the doors, keeping a firm grip on Marco.-

Anna: <Let's introduce you to your siblings, shall we?>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Marco: <...>

Seeing no other options that wouldn’t get him killed, Marco doesn’t protest. Eventually he stops struggling.

Oppenheimer: <Yeah, you can take them!>

-Oppenheimer grabs the ball from Jay and shoves the Munchlax's ball back at her, likely knocking her over-

Oppenheimer: <Eeeeeeeeee this is the happiest day of my life since I lost my happiness chart and had to make a new one last week!>

Revy: You remind me of me and your great-great-great—

Ever: Kyurem's malfunctioning tail please never finish that sentence.

Revy: Lovely woman. Made me what I am today.

Ever: Dead?

Revy: In a roundabout sense.

-he smiles wistfully-

Ever: ...So is there a point to this? Or is it just your obsession with the mortal world at work again?

Revy: Pardon?

Ever: I'm just saying, it's been 600 years. Afterlife's right there. Like, I can't imagine it'd be good for you, but it has to be better than this, right?

-Revy rolls his eyes-

Revy: I'd be happy to roll those dice, but someone, and by someone I mean everyone, has failed to carry out the terms of my oath against the Morendos. So I'm stuck here.

Ever: Well, I'd say "die mad about it", but you seem to have already done that.

Revy: When did you get such a tongue in your head?

Ever: When I figured out that you're appearing in my dreamscape and not yours, and thus I hold the majority of the power?

"At any rate, that's that done..."

Barclay hears his name mentioned and sees the Blaziken, who, in hindsight, seems somewhat familiar.

Barclay: "I... I know I've seen you before... you definitely recognize me, though..."

-Ever and Revy stare at each other for a little while, Ever vaguely tracing his hand through the water-

Ever: Hmm. Pretty realistic.

Revy: Bragging?

Ever: Maybe a little.

Revy: Good for you.

Ever: So really, is this a social call? I like sleep, but not enough to deal with you during it.

-Revy glares-

Revy: My patience will only go so far. I don't have to help you.

Ever: Help?

Revy: A piece of advice. Well, several, but there's only one that's of any real use to you, because you'll forget most of this as soon as you wake up.

Ever: What's the point in telling me anything?

Revy: Workarounds. You won't remember anything enough to trigger alarm bells if someone reads you, but you'll remember enough that you'll feel uneasy when it matters. Hopefully, that'll make it easier for you to catch onto things.

Ever: Alright, then. Spill.

Revy: You're possessed.

Ever: No I'm not. I haven't been since January.

Revy: You are, you just don't know it. You weren't my first choice to talk to, you know.

Ever: Thanks.

Revy: Originally, I wanted your sister.

Ever: My— come again?

Revy: Sister? Cousin? Whatever. She's blood, you're close. The one who likes Flying-types.

Ever: Brie.

Revy: ...I thought you were Brie.

Ever: Ancestor of the year, everybody.

Revy: Whatever. She's not my favorite person, a little too lawful for my taste, but she's bright and competent, and unlike you has something resembling a work ethic.

Ever: She'll be happy to hear you think so highly of her.

Revy: You won't remember I said this. Anyway, I wanted to warn her for the future, but when I tried to bring her into limbo, she got dragged back by something on her end. So I met her halfway, in her dreamscape, and figured out what was keeping her, and it turned out to be the same thing keeping you.

Ever: And that would be?

Revy: Look in the water.
