Thresher: -Loses a bit under a quarter of his health-
Rollout!
Thresher: -Spins at Tartarus-
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Kaisei: "...Well, that answers in regards to what your future self's doing, but not so much why he's involved in the first place."
Ember: "Well, nice to see you again, Silas. And nice to meet you, Megan."
"At any rate, I'd be glad to set you up."
Kaisei: "Uh... scary person?"

The Flamebringer
Ryoma nods. <And if you're here under the same circumstances... It stands to reason he could be as well.>
Severa: "Selena? What?"
She is thoroughly confused, and shrugs at Yarne. "Your guess is as good as mine."
Cynthia: <Yeah, sure!>
She tosses the thing to Soleil.

Silas pointed to the individual sitting at the Cafe, "Them..."
He sighed, "Apparently we have to talk to them about getting a loan."

AU!Shaun: "..."
"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"
-The blonde chuckles at Lane's reaction-
Tori: "Guess it's a good thing they picked him instead of me, I barely got one badge"
....
"Hm?"
-Beat-
"She does look a little off, yeah..."
Meet The New Boss
-The group comes across a group of Ziggies and Hoppers, who, noticeably, are wearing diffrent equipment than normal-
-They are also positioned strategically around various blocks and ledges-
-A new presence seems to be shuffling around, however-
Cottonee!Laura: <You guys sure have seen a lot...>
Oddish!Rod: <Indeed... It says something we all ended up here like this.>
-beat-
<...Weren't we doing something?>
-A Rabbid puts on a bowtie and turns into a white-haired pretty boy wearing costume bunny ears-
-He looks in the mirror and bwahs loudly in horror, revealing large buck teeth-
-After a tense moment, Shizuo sighs and drops the chunk of cave wall-
-On his foot-
Shizuo:
-looks down-
...Oh.

Bona-Fide Mastah
Lanakilla Center
Lane:And once you overthink...
Champion's Chamber
He sent out two Fairy types in a row...maybe he's like Papa but with Fairies? If he is...then I should be safe with...
Iggy:Pillion!
-She sends out her Toxicroak, smoke billowing from his pipe-
Pillion:<Me-heh. You call, kiddo?>
Arthur:Ah, so you're a monotyper as well...like Father, like Daughter, I suppose...
-Takes out a Great Ball-
In that case, it's time for this performance to take off! Come forth, Mercedes!
-In a flash of light, an Aegislash takes the field-
Iggy:-eyes widen-
Arthur:Retaliate, now!
Mercedes:<You 'ave my sword, ser.>
-She unsheathes and rushes at Pillion, blade growing red-
Pillion:<...welp.>
Iggy:Aaaaaaaaa, ah, uhm...Protect! Protect!
-Pillion smirks and throws up the green bubble shield-
Pillion:<Nice one, kiddo. Prolly woulda fainted there. Me-heh.>
-Iggy gulps-
-Arthur smirks-
Lanakilla Center
Lane:And there it is...
-Maria headtilts-
Maria:It?
Lane:Dad's Bait-and-Switch. Send out two members of the same type, get the opponent used to them, then throw out his powerhouses.
-Lane smiles, just a little-
Heh...
In Mauville City
Leo and "Bligh" are still walking through the city.
Leo: [I could try and ditch him here...] *feeling guilty at the thought* [Buuut...]
[insert something relating to myself here]
Tori: -watching a bit more intently- "Huh... Yeah, trainers usually only send out two of the same type of mon if they've already got a type advantage or they're monotyping..."
Flying Colors
-Tartarus winces at the Rollout impact, but on its first hit, it doesn't look like much to speak of.-
Tartarus: <Ow. That stung.>
Kai: Oh, good, we have time. Let's brighten things up a bit!
-She brings her hand forward, showing her Mega Ring, before raising it up to the sky. Tartarus and the ring both are enveloped in a brilliant glow, and with a burst of light and a howl, a powered-up Tartarus emerges.
-His howl, incidentally, signals another glowing light from above, raising the room's temperature and quite frankly boldly contrasting with the faux-vampire-goth aesthetic Kai has going on.-
Corrin: Gods, I hope he made it okay... but I'm glad to hear about everyone else. That's a huge relief.
-Soleil grabs the thing and puts it on, doing a "ta-daaaa" pose upon becoming human. That red hair is unmistakeable.-
Soleil: See? I'm...
-Beat-
Soleil: ...You're, uh, shorter than I expected. Sssso I, uh, think maybe there's some weird time stuff going on after all.
-She rubs her neck-
-Look who's at the counter!-
-It's Kai.-

No voice to cry suffering
Pippy: <Oh, excellent! Strategy time~>
<Also! Oh balls, it's Rabbid time!>
Lapis: Bwah BWAH, BWAHBWAHBWAH!
Megan: Well, not quite a loan, more like—a job? We—
-dryly- ~Well are you going to stand there all day muttering about me or what?~
-Megan shivers as the message is transmitted, a Natu's eyes flashing as in the background the Rich Girl raises an eyebrow over her steaming thermos of...something-
Megan: Mmmmaybe we should go over there? oh god what now
Logan: ...Oh, right!
I'll just buy this...
Addie: <And maybe what Mane's got, too, they could come in handy.>
Humane: -looks over from where he was looking at himself and some complicated feelings in a mirror- Ah?
-he blinks at his voice-
-adjusting his collar- Yes, Addie, of course.
Addie: <You look nice, Mane!>
Humane: Well I should hope so, even as a human, I need to look my best.
Logan: -thinking- Hmm...
-they go to check out, and-
Logan: -not recognizing her- Oh, hello. I'd like to buy these?
No mind to think. No will to break.
Meet The New Boss
-Rod and Laura take off their things and head over to pay Kai, as does the Rabbid-
Rod: I'll pay for everyone.
-to Kai-
You seem awfully familiar somehow...

Dunsparce Cloud
-Ever pokes his head out of a pile of blue jeans-
Pleth: <Have you been under there all day?>
Ever: Longer.
Pleth: <Why?>
Ever: ...Sometimes you just lie under large numbers of clothes. That's how it is.
Pleth: <Is it?>
Ever: Yes.
Pleth: <...Sure.>
-...-
Pleth: <Are we going to talk at all about our talk the other day?>
Ever: Do we...like, have to?
Pleth: <...Yes?>
Ever: Okay.
Pleth: <...Look, I don't think anything's wrong with you.>
-Ever stares at her-
Pleth: <...Well, I mean, some things, but I don't think it's something that would break the evolution. I've got faith in you.>
Ever: Wish I did.
Pleth: <This is something I really want, okay? I think you can do it.>
Ever: Why do you want this?
Pleth: <Huh?>
Ever: We've interrogated my motivations, but what about yours? You're an exceptionally powerful Pokemon as it stands; what does Mega Evolution offer you that you can't already manage?
Pleth: <One; it's super cool. Have you seen pictures of Mega Sceptile?>
Ever: Yes.
Pleth: <And two, I can already sprint vertically up the side of a building. Can you imagine what I could do if I were even faster?>
Ever: I have already devised multiple strategies taking advantage of your ability to break previously existing limits. But on the other hand, specifically the one without a Key Stone in it, you're already fully capable of surpassing yourself. Outside of Diesel and Breeze, who are my most experienced Pokemon, Salamence, who comes after the two, and Ephemera, who may be a minor goddess hidden in the body of a cat, you're probably one of the strongest, most driven Pokemon on my team. I have no doubt that, in concert, we could manage to defeat even a Mega Sceptile. As you said, I have faith in you.
Pleth: <That doesn't change that I'm still pretty sure I'm the weak link.>
Ever: Pardon?
Pleth: <When it comes down to it, for the big stuff— Muninn, Maelyan, Gudrunn...I haven't been able to help out. If I'd been faster and stronger, Gudrunn might not have gotten away.>
Ever: Well, nothing much helped with Muninn. Only reason any of us are still alive is because of his rage issues.
Pleth: <Right, but if I'd been Mega Evolved, maybe it would have been closer to an even fight. You know they say Mega Evolutions can take on legendaries?>
Ever: I suspect it's hyperbole, but point conceded.
Pleth: <Some limits can't be surpassed with determination. Some advantages can't be overcome with cleverness. Against some of the things you've been picking fights with lately, I'm starting to hit that wall.>
Ever: Is this sentiment I'm hearing?
Pleth: <Psssht. I don't care if you get killed. I just don't like the idea that I'm not being my best self.>
-...-
Ever: ...Man, our communications really don't reward emotional openness, do they?
Pleth: <They really don't. No wonder we have so much trouble with this.>
Ever: -giggles, despite himself-
-Pleth laughs, and pretty soon the two are both cracking up-
-...-
Pleth: <Was that funny?>
Ever: Zekrom I wish I knew.
-he sighs, and wraps an arm around the Sceptile's shoulder-
...Oh, yeah. Ectotherm.
Pleth: <Well, it's relaxing for me.>
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Battle Base, past
Surprising, not saving the Mega Evolution for last... I see what she's probably trying to do.
Thresher: -Continues his Rollout-

Regional variants, cute. Probably stronger.
-Pent takes a breath-
I leave the engagement to you front-liners, as always I'll be up the back picking off enemies.
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
The Flamebringer
"Unless there's another, suspiciously similar-looking tome..."
Severa: -looks Soleil over.- "... Nope, don't really see it. Besides, if you were my kid you'd have the ears."
She points to her Taguel bunny ears, and over to Yarne, before realizing that Yarne's currently a Nido and thus not a good demonstration.
"... Right."
She crosses her arms in front of her.
"Also rude."
She frowns.
"You do look vaguely like Inigo, though."
He grabs Rabbid!Rin. <Small angry rabbit, charge.>
Rabbid!Rin: <Bwah?> -Archer chucks her at one of the Ziggies .- <BWAAAAAAAH>
Rin: "Archer! What are you doing?"
Archer: <Scouting. Don't tell me you've started to like the thing?>
Rabbid!Rin: <BWAH!> -Smack-
Rin:"N- no! But she's useful!"
Archer: <And she's useful like this, too.>
Rin: -_-

-The second round of Rollout strikes, this time doing more noticeable damage and knocking him down to about two thirds of his HP.-
Kai: Perfect. Let's go with a Heat Wave, now!
Tartarus: <I will not falter again!>
-The hot air around them heats up to scorching temperatures, before blowing in Thresher's direction, boosted by the sunlight itself as well as Solar Power. The stress from the Solar Power boost does noticeably shave a bit off of his energy, though.-
-Kai smiles, likewise not recognizing any of the currently gathered party (seeing as Ever is currently concealed in the clothes)-
Kai: -to Rod- Must be one of those faces. Anyway, thank you for shopping at the Ersatz Alliance~ Would you like to proceed with your checkout normally, or would you like to take advantage of the Deal of the Day?
Corrin: Oh my, that's... well, good news and bad news, I suppose. Who exactly is this Morgan person?
-Soleil blinks-
Soleil: Oh my gosh I thought those bunny ears were just aesthetic, there was this whole bunny costume thing going on a few days ago that I didn't really get but a lot of girls looked really cute and I was super bummed that I was still stuck as a bird.
-Upon hearing Inigo's name, she brightens up-
Soleil: Yeah, Inigo's my dad! Or, well, Laslow, I guess where you're from you all didn't change your names?
-She stops, and her eyes widen-
Soleil: Wait, did you come here directly from Ylisse? Is that where in the timeline you all went?
Boy: Oooh, that makes sense, you came here from another region to do the trials. It looks like my friend started something of a trend here!
Mauville
Yarne: <Yeah, we're from->
<...Changed names, geez. Sounds like there was an awful lot of time bullshit.>
<But, aw, you're not a Taguel? I was excited we kept from going extinct another generation.>
Lumiose
Kaisei: "...I mean if you need one scary person to talk to another..."
AU, Mt. Mortar
Soujin sees the cave chunk fall off and goes to try and help remove it. Seeing he's not making much headway, his Primeape counterpart helps get the chunk off Shizuo's foot.

-Ludmilla tilts her head.-
Ludmilla: Your friend?
Flying Colors
Boy: Yeah, they were the first champion of the Alola League! They gave up the role a while back, so everyone's been fighting to take the spot for themselves, and I'm thinking of trying myself!
-He grins-
Boy: With trainers like you up there, though, I know I'm gonna have to give it everything I've got!
Mt. Lanakila
Ludmilla: Heh, I'll say! I bet someone's already in there winning the title from... Well, whoever they have doing the fight right now. I'd rather spend time at home for a bit.
-Something occurs to her.-
Ludmilla: Hey, wait, if your friend was the first Champion...
No voice to cry suffering
Megan: That would be very much appreciated thank you so much
-and so presumably accompanied by her companions Megan walks over to the Danger Zone-
Rich Girl: -in Kalosian, not turning toward them- You're here for the assignment, then?
Natu: -chirp-
Absol: -all-too-knowing grin, staring directly at the group-
Logan: -curiously- "Deal of the Daytm"?
Humane: -with a subtle, finely-tuned sparkly flourish, the rather stylish older gentleman whips off his hat and resumes Manetric form-
No mind to think. No will to break.
Silas steps forward and looks at the rich girl, "Oui. Nous sommes. Qu'est-ce que vous avez besoin de nous?"
It was all said in a detached monotone, further than usual.
