-After hearing Yveltal-

...Yes ma'am.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Quivering sand ball-

Litwick: <Because...>

-Beat-

<...I don't know, I didn't think I'd get this far. But she's a problem, that's for certain.>

-Mul cautiously approaches-

Eva: Oh. My. Arceus. You actually work for PEFE??? EEEEEEEEEE!

Merah: -slaps Eva with her tail- <C'mon Eva. You're gonna embarrass yourself.>

Lila: Your Minccino does have a point there.

Eva: Ok. Sorry about that.

Lila: -to the Litwick- By any chance, do they say 'umu' after everything because if so, they were in Mauville and I went to the Erstatz alliance with them. They got me this scarf. -pulls out scarf- It lets me turn into a Cleffa, so they could tell me something about running away from conversations or something. I understood their language, but only half of what they said. That guy was kinda loopy.

Eva: Ooh, can I have a closer look at that for a sec?

Lila: I guess, but-

Eva: Thanks! -grabs scarf and puts it on, turning into a shiny beldum-

Beldum!Eva: <I'm a pokemon? Cool! I'm flying, too! This is so epic!>

Merah: <A shiny one too! Looking good, partner!>

Lila: Ahem, that is my scarf, ya know.

Beldum!Eva: <Oh, right. Can someone help me get it off, I don't have any hands.>

-Merah pulls the scarf off of Eva and hands it to Lila-

Lila: Thank you!

Eva: Woah. I've gotta get my hands on one of those transform thingys.

Lila: I got it at some place called the 'Erstatz alliance' in Mauville. Or somewhere. It was kind of strange.

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

Weiss:Bah!

-He turns around-

-Nier chuckles-

Nier:<So...to wait on Kainé...or go after them...hmm..>

Desert Temple

-Beneath the hood, the figure, an older woman by the looks of it, not so much steps back, but sliiiiiiides back into the room.-

-A feather that looks like a Xatu is left behind-

-Kainé peers into the room ahead, it's...empty.-

-The woman has vanished-

Kainé:<What the actual fuck just happened?>

-grumbly sword noises-

-typing-

-typing-

-it's really slow-

-as though a small creature with no fingers, and a biological composition only tangentially recognized by a phone screen, is attempting to communicate-

-and then texts start coming, a word at a time-

Glimmer: <...Problem solved.>

-she glances at Ever, who has hidden himself under approximately 30 pounds of blankets-

-she goes back to playing with his phone-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Lou: Hmph. How so?

-Lou grabs a bag of popcorn out of his bag and places it on K-9's head. Heztun glares at Eva.-

Heztun <What am I, chopped liver?>

Lilycove

Lila: I dunno. There was just a ton of different enterances. Like one in an alleyway, one in the fountain, one in the cupboard of an airship. They were selling some weird stuff too. Like this scarf.

-puts on scarf- -jumps-

Cleffa!Lila: <Creepy. Sounds like something going down elsewhere in the city. Eh, probably nothing.>

Eva: -to heztun- What did I say? Did I offend you?

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

Litwick: <Aha! That's her! She'd be in this Ersatz Alliance, wouldn't she?>

Mul: <I have... No idea. Were some spared by whatever happened?>

Mandrake: <Hm... do we know somewhere we could find them even if they doubled back to find us?>

Maggie just blinks at what happens.

Luxray: <I'm not really sure what to comment on here at this point.>

The Cacturne takes the group to the Sultan's room, which seems to be very wet despite being in a desert. His turban is on the ground, slashed and soaked.

Cacturne: <If any of you need to look at the scribbles, I've got them.>

---

Meanwhile, there are prisons down here. The Krokorok is standing guard.

Louis: <Yeah, same...>

<And, yeah. Dunno how he got it, but can't say it didn't save us all a lot of time for repairs.>

-Down cautiously hops into the room as well-

Down: <Spooky>

-Beat-

-The Natu borb-tilts, picks up the Xatu like feather in her beak, then looks around the room again, particularly upwards-

-The pink Greninja shrugs-

Shinobi: <She seemed like she could take care of herself. But I guess we could go check unless we've got a lead on some more of those Unown rune things... Or just take a nap while we wait>

Lou: I have no idea what you're talking about.

-Lou takes the popcorn bag off of K-9's head. Perfectly popped.-

Heztun: <You want to be a researcher, and you can't recognize a member of the most prestigious Pokemon species?>

-Nier taps his chin-

Nier:<I mean...that's true I suppose...dunno, I just have some kind of...feeling. A feeling like something might happen either way...>

-shakes his head, ears flicking-

<Maybe I'm overthinking it.>

Weiss:As usual.

Nier:<Shut it!>

-beat-

<Hm...I suppose worrying won't do much. We could ask Popola if there've been any leads.>

Desert Temple

-Nothing up there either.-

Kainé:<Wait a second...>

-Looks around-

-The room, while rather bland, has had everything that was in it, namely boxes and such, shoved to the side. On the floor and walls, there seem to be fresh gashes carving out scenes.-

-On the floor, a robed man, holding a staff, walking toward a city-

-On one wall, a depiction of a baby surrounded by shadow and light-

-And on the other, the robed man again, on a platform looking over a town-

<These...definitely weren't here before.>

La: Oh, trust me, the J-Team isn't a company. You'll fit right in if you stick around.

As for the Pichu thing, Mew bullshit.

Ilya: Nah, more like... They have crazy perception of things, right? You can dull that. At the price of Hearts Of Gold being able to penetrate your mental barriers or something. It's kind of like a type triangle.

Litwick: <Well it's clear we must find this Ersatz Alliance!>

-Ammy inspects the crime scene closely-

---

-Enzo taps someone in the party on the shoulder-

Mul: <Curiouser and curiouser...>

-The pink Greninja sneeze-

Shinobi: <Sorry -hem- who's Popola?>

Down: <Wonder who these people are supposed to be... When was the last time you were here, Kaine?>

-"Homer stares at La for a long while, eyebrows raised."-

Homer, still very confused: What? That didn't explain anything! What mew bullshit? If you're not a company then what are you guys? Why do you want me to join you? Why was mor in a Gengars mouth? Why are you saying I can talk to Pokémon now? I don't want to talk to Pokémon, I can barely stand talking to people!

-"Suddenly a shirt crawls out of the closet, battered and near death."-

Shirt: You- you dare do this to us *coughs up blood* I swear, I swear on the souls of all my kin    We will have our vengeance!   

-"the shirt then explodes."-

Homer: ...the- how in- WHY?

Let's all have fun

-Shrodinger's door opens as a tired looking red-eyed 19 year old in a green hoodie exits-

Blitz?: <Oy... What's with all the noise?>

 Lilycove 

-Looks between Odin, and then at the text, before pinching the bridge of my nose and sighing-

What a headache...

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Agrabah, Palace

-Pent has of course followed the Cacturne because screw going to the dungeon-

Hm... An abnormality to be sure. Very few members of our group would even be capable of such a splash, much less to lethal intent...

-Pent wanders the room, at one point trying to innocuously stand next to Jasmine-

You are the heir, yes? If this is truly a murder beyond a shadow of a doubt, your word would carry the force of a Sultan's power. These guards are not the ruler here.

Route 4

-Pent draws his weapon and tries to hone in on the movement-

Come out, you're outnumbered.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Somewhere

“Fascinating,” Colt remarked as he dispelled the orbs. “I think that’s everything I wanted to ask about, but if tere’s anything you wanna bend my ear about, just tell me,” he offered.

Agrabah, Palace

Deciding that if he were to be away from the forces, it would only rouse more suspicion, Colt had decided to stay with Jasmine.

“May I see the scribbles? If they mean anything, I have faith I could decipher them,” he offered. “It could just be bad handwriting,” he added as he joined Ammy in investigation, being careful to not touch anything.

Route 4

Wordlessly, Colt drew Sylveon’s Desire, Kazuma Facepalm Over Two, and Helmsman Sacred Sword.

Crossroads

Nier:<She's...well, I almost suppose you could call her our village leader. Everyone in the village goes to her for advice, and she's rather popular alongside her sister Devola. You heard Devola singing out of the tavern, I think?>

Desert Temple

Kainé:<Last time? Funnily enough, it was when me 'n Nier came here to track down the king when he was still a prince so...maybe a month ago?>

-Sword shrug-

<Hard to keep good track of days when it's always light out.>

-She floats in...-

-And the room goes dark-

<Fucking->

-A spotlight shines on the baby carving-

Lou: Still haven't told us *munch munch* why you're looking for this Oricorio thing.

Carol: <Yeah, every ghost-type I've met online had a motive for wanting Lou's credit card information!>

Lou: Yeah.

.*munch munch*

Wait, you're the one who's been letting people buy R-rated romance novels with my card?

K-9:<You can use a computer?>

Carol:<They told me they'd be my friend if I did. Now I'm getting so many e-mails! It's fun!>

Lou: Ugh... the point is, unless you tell me why you want to find this thing...

-Lou sends out Salvadore and grabs his pepper spray.-

Lou: ...I'm gonna have to put you under citizen's arrest.

La: Easy, kid, you'll learn the ropes as it goes along.

-he sips his beer and waves to Blitz(?)-

Ilya: ...Are you hitting on me? I have a boyfriend you know.

-A girl resembling this with gold eyes is suddenly sitting next to the group-

Girl: -giggles- You all are adorable.

Litwick: Hmm...

<She's a red, bird-like Pokemon who, as the girl said, says "umu" a lot and has apparently disguised herself as a human. As for why I'm after her, she's a pest and she owes me for a recent incident.>

Svin: <F-fuck no! I'm getting stage fright!>

Phoenix: Are you a demon? I've got a nice strong soul and I'm looking to get at a guy named Andy, what are your going rates?

Lou: Hmmm...

-He holsters his pepper spray.-

Lou: What's your name, punk?

Route 4

Oh thanks, you too.

-Pent pauses a moment-

Wait, hi. Who're you and what're you doing out here dressed like that?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

“I mean, if you’re unhappy with your current relationship...” he offered before laughing a little. “But no, it’s just that I asked you to talk a lot. The least I can do from here is let you talk about what you want to talk about. I’ll listen, don’t wor-,” he added before he realized.

“Arceus’ unholy flank I am hitting on you.”

Route 4

Colt, Kazuma and Helmsman all sheathed their weapons. “I’m so sorry if I made you feel unwelcome,” Colt apologized. “Are you cold?” He offered as he summoned some Firescura.
