PEFE!Every: Give it back!

Brie: No!

-Brie is currently sitting on PEFE!Every, holding a syringe full of an unidentified liquid out of the other girl's reach-

Brie: Look, I'm not a biologist, and I'm not speaking with any particular scientific authority, but there's no way this is a good idea.

PEFE!Every: Why not?!

Brie: You are trying to give yourself a bioluminescent stick-and-poke via gene editing.

PEFE!Every: So you do understand it!

Brie: It's not complicated!

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Pianis waves to the two struggling on the floor-

Pianis: Hey, have you guys seen—

-he then hears Brie's comment about gene editing-

-and immediately grabs Astral and hides it from view-

Astral: <Pew>

Pianis: ...Never mind.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Brie: Hey, Pianis. Are you looking for something?

PEFE!Every: Tell her to give me back my syringe!

Brie: This is for your own good...

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Pianis: No, we are definitely not looking for anything.

Fortis: Hi miss Brie! Did you want to meet Astral?

Pianis: -sigh-

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Brie: (cautiously) Sure, Fortis.

PEFE!Every: -stops struggling, and sticks her head up- Astral?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Pianis: No, no, they do not need to meet Astral. Especially not her.

Fortis: Uh huh! Come on out, Astral!

-Astral teleports into Fortis' arms-

Astral: <Pew!>

Pianis: Great.

Fortis: She's the star child!

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Brie: That's a...that's...um. Okay. Hi, Astr—

-Brie is launched into the air as PEFE!Every dashes over to get a better look-

PEFE!Every: Oh my gosh!

Brie: How did you do that? @_@

PEFE!Every: Does she have any notable special abilities?

Brie: No, seriously, you have major nutritional deficiencies and low muscle mass, that shouldn't have physically been possible. @_@

PEFE!Every: Also, star child? Interesting name...

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-distantly, Megan and Vee fire at the bouncing Hoppers they see. Pippy readies his sniper, when-

Lapis: BWAH!

-she makes some gestures-

Pippy: <Ah, you want to try the launch tactic?>

Lapis: -nods vigorously-

Pippy: <Well let's go, then!>

Lapis: BWAAAH!

-she athletically leaps up in front of Pippy, angled just so, and he propels her forward with a powerful jet of water—-

Pippy used Hydro Pump!

-—and a Ziggy may find themself smacked in the face by a soaking wet, unconscious Rabbid-

Lapis fainted! @w@

Pippy: -frozen- <...>

-watery-eyed, flippers to beak- <Oh nooooooo>

Megan: -cringes-

-Lapis's slightly distant surroundings would also be rapidly pummeled by like twenty spilled Snowflake Grenades and also her hammer-

-if they say they planned that all along, they can call it tactics-

-BOOM-

Pollen: -pop out, shivering in the cold- <Th-There's no way I'm missing this.>

-she goes to fight, but then notices the new presence and tries to see what it is-

-the Rich Girl raises an eyebrow, turning just enough so that it's visible-

Rich Girl: -yup, still Kalosian- I was under the impression you were already informed, since you're here and all.

In short, this assignment is a series of deliveries. The first is found at [place], and you'll find more instructions there, and at every step next. Make sure you're not followed, getting to the last one. There's some shortcuts and side alleys you might be advised to take—

Absol: -with a grinning glance at wherever Silas's phone is- <I've got a feeling they'll figure it out, don't worry.>

-she winks at Silas and Megan in particular-

Rich Girl: -after the Natu translates- ...Mmm. Then we're done here. But it bears emphasis—if you see anyone who looks like me—

-here she twirls a finger at her own face-

—don't embarrass me in front of them. If you do have to deal with them directly, there's a bonus in it for you—and I'll take it as a favor that you don't mention anything afterward. Put up a good showing, and deliver everything.

-she cocks her head, Dark-black Gem earrings dangling, as though listening to something for a long, tense moment-

...hm. Do this well, and I might put in a good word for you all with the family after all your rude departures.

-she swishes her drink around-

Clarity. Do we have a deal?

-likewise, the challenge-accepted grin fades, replaced by a professional attentiveness as Kai relates her favor-

-and then they smile with a set of acceptance and determination, their sudden bundle of nerves expertly concealed...except probably not from an empath-

Logan: -gathering their purchases- Of course; I'm happy to help. It's my job, after all. Helping people and Pokémon with things like this is, well, it's everything to me...but I admit erasing Cipher's influence is pretty appealing, itself.

-there's just a smidge of spite with that last one-

-to Rod- I think that covers getting information on your father, unless there's something else you'd like to ask...

Addie:<If there's something more personal, we can step out.>

-Logan hears Lila, and blushes-

Logan: -lightly- W-Well, she was doing it first...!

Addie: -grinning- <You're getting dragged by a kid.>

Logan: Shut,

Plusle: <Ah-HA! Follow that goo!>

-the Plusle and Minun dart way forward with zigzagging Quick Attacks, despite Tripod's objections-

-Ceal attempts to follow, but the water sputters beneath her-

Ceal: <W-we're in a desert there's no reason for a pirate ship to be in a desert whyyyy>

-she kicks up a small, shaky Aqua Jet with some difficulty and launches into a Flash Step after them-

Thespi: -soaring behind- <...it's totally unfair that they're faster. We fly like, all the time.>

Tripod: -chirp-

Thespi: -passing some rocks- <They get limbs! I mean, Ceal has flippers and a tail, but the mysterious electric mons have limbs! And...you sorta seem to know them? ...How do you know them?>

Tripod: -noncommital chirp-

No mind to think. No will to break.

"We have a deal," Silas responds, tone bereft of emotion or care.

He looks at Megan and Kaisei, "Let's get going. Predestination calls."

Astral: <Pew?>

Fortis: She can't fight yet, but eventually she's gonna grow into a new sun!

Pianis: Please don't perform any experiments on it.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Agrabah

Xatu followed the black sludge. Atop his back, Colt hollered after it.

“Hey ya big drip! Where ya goin’?!” He placed his fingers in his pocket before deciding against it. Xatu paused to create a Tailwind behind the team.

Route 4

Lucario paused, his enhanced Aura capabilites distracted with creating the Aura Sphere before he paused to notice the new presence. He chased it down, hoping to Low Sweep it.

Meanwhile Colt and Kazuma continued to attack, Kazuma instead leaping off his counterpart’s head to smack some Rabbid in the face with Facepalm Over Two.

Somewhere

A couple of Pichu are running in a direction, the larger one yelling at the other he doesn’t have time for this, his ear twitching in annoyance.

They were creating a bit of a scene, so someone might notice them.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

PEFE!Every: But...but...

Brie: Every.

PEFE!Every: Fiiiiine...

-she tilts her head at Fortis-

New sun? How does that work?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Kai smiles at Lila-

Kai: Oh, of course not. You're with companions, I'm not going to kick you out of a store just for not buying anything yourself.

-She looks at Logan again, giving a nod.-

Kai: That's good. I'll make a note of it, then.

-She starts handwriting a short document, then turns to Rod, her Retail Worker Smile returning.-

Kai: As for you, what do you have to offer? Skillset, connections, goods? We tailor our deals to fit the customer, of course.

Fortis: She's gonna evolve into a new legendary!

Astral: <Pew pew!>

Pianis: Yeah, that's kind of why I didn't want you doing experiments on it. Those end to end badly.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Erstatz alliance

Lila giggled at Logan's response.

Cleffa!Lila: <Hahaha! Good one Addie!>

-hears kai-

<Ok, I'll wait, but can you guys please not take too long!>

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

Brie: ....Okay, yeah, that's what I thought.

Wow.

PEFE!Every: ...Okay, fair enough.

-she goes to sulk on the couch-

Brie: ...Uh. Where'd you...find them?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Fortis: Well first miss Noelle and I went back to the world with no sun and then we met Lily and she was sad because her friend was gone but she wanted to find her again and we thought she might be back in this world so we went to this really big altar and there was a big sun lion there but it was dead and then the other lion said it was a dangerous beast and we shouldn't be there but then we opened a portal and there was this big tunnel of space and I found Astral there and she saved us!

Pianis: Uh, what she said?

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Lanakilla Center, past

Lane:Really? I thought he taught you Bite.

>:P

Maria:-snrk-

Somewhere, present day

-Francis sneezes-

Champion's Chamber, then

Arthur:It'd seem I am fallen behind...no matter. The old man still has a few tricks up his sleeve...

-White sparks appear around Pillion-

Pillion:<Huh...forgot about that one.>

Pillion took the Future Sight attack! Pillion fainted!

Iggy:-beat-

-cheek poof-Uuuuuu...

Arthur:A-hahahaha~, such an angry face for one so small. Shall we continue? Edmund!

-He sends out a Slowking-

-Who stands there-

-Smugly-

Edmund:<Have you business with Us?>

Iggy:Nnnn...

-Hop-

-Ball throw-

Venti!

-Out comes the Whilipede-

Venti:...<Peeede.>

Arthur:Running out of fully evolved mons, dear? Or is she your little ace, hm...?

Iggy:You'll see! Venti,use Bug Bite!

-Venti swirves over and noms upon the nose of a Slowking-

Edmund:<How uncouth.>

-He responds by blasting Venti with a Psychic, sending her reeling, but still up, and making faster revving sounds-

Iggy:Now Toxic!

-Venti revs up more and launches the poison glob, toxifying the Slowking-

Edmund:<We would very much like this to stop, yes?>

-He prepares another Psychic-

-Launches it-

Iggy:Venoshock!

-And watches it detonate right where Venti was-

-Just in time to see Venti above him, raining down the poison amplifying liquid-

Duke Edmund fainted!

Arthur:Hm-hm-hmmm...impressive.

Brie: I...you went into...okay. It's good to know you're safe, and that you have a plan.

PEFE!Every: Brie, I'm not sure—

Brie: It's good to know you're safe and that you have a plan.

PEFE!Every: -shrugs-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Fortis: Uh huh!

Astral: <Pew!>

Pianis: So what are you going to do now?

Fortis: I dunno! I thought this would be a good place to keep Astral safe for now.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Macraul Cafe

Kaisei sighed and followed. He wasn't really looking forward to this, but at long as it didn't involve human or mon trafficking... he could deal with it. And Future Megan had some reason to do this, right?

-"Skyla is eating ice cream when the doors of her gym burst open."-

Ramona, pumped: Hola, mi el nombre ser Ramona, gym badge please <3

Skyla, still eating: Mello rainer, mi'm Skeela.

-"Ramona smiles at Skyla."-

Ramona, tilting her head: Nani?

Victor, walking in: <Oh for the love of, Swallow your food!>

-"Skyla, not understanding what Victor said, finishes her desert and proudly stands up."-

Skyla, ice cream on her face: ''hello miss Ramona, I am the flying gym leader Skyla!

Ramona: Wow, I love your outfit.

Skyla: Daw, thanks. :3

Norma: <Why is 75% of it missing?>

Let's all have fun

Brie: That's probably a good idea. Airship's about as safe as it gets.

PEFE!Every: Nobody in their right mind would try attacking the collective J-team.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Rod looks left-

-Rod looks right-

-Rod leans in and whispers-

Rod: I have the power of god and anime on my side access to assets from not one but two major corporations.

Izaya: Why, I'm skipping because things are going good for me, of course!

Shizuo: That's just stupid... Who'd change you without giving you a way to change back? Some kinda witch?
