ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Tsunami, Berry Bubble, and Jamie slide/float/run into the room.-

Shaun: "You're late.'

Jamie: <They took Jessica and her team.>

-Shaun blinks slowly.-

Shaun: "What?"

Jamie: <They ambushed us in the kitchen. She convinced them to let me go.>

-Shaun just nods slowly...-

-Then punches the wall with his bare hand.-

-The wall dents and his hand makes an audible cracking sound.-

Beowulf: <I CAN FEEL THAT TOO, DUMBASS>

<YOUR HAND IS FRACTURED>

-He angrily Heal Pulses Shaun.-

Laurent: "Triage?"

Beowulf: <Yeah...let me grab a first aid kit.>

Tsunami: <I'll do it.>

-Shaun leans against a window, staring out of it.-

-Lyra's sitting on the ground, Elizabeth's head in her lap.-

-Tsuboi scoots up to Shaun but says nothing.-

Shaun: "How...how many of us were taken?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

-the course ahead of Silas starts with a long ramp, leading to a balance beam across a pit, followed by a rotating tube full of pillars to navigate around-

-at the end of the room is a blinking red button-

-as Channah defrosts Basket, she might hear the Tropius muttering bitterly-

Basket: <That Sam and Sam, that Sam and Sam.>

<I do not like that Sam and Sam.>

<It feels like fighting in the rain,>

<To resist ice I need to train.>

<I'm in the dark! A poor sad tree!>

<So here we are, they made me freeze!>

<I don't like freezing in a box,>

<(did the guy call me an Unovan fox?)>

<They can't just bust into my house!>

<(why'd they send out a Fighting louse?)>

<Are they roaming here or there?>

<I must pursue them anywhere!>

<I know I'm being a green-legged ham.>

<But I don't like that Sam and Sam!>

...

Basket is no longer frozen!

...

Basket: <...thanks for the defrost.>

-she shakes to restore some feeling-

Basket: <...do you know who those hnau were?>

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Makbeliv, The Space Between Warps

Thespi: -through supercloudian effort, tones down the squeeing to a really wide grin-

-also the environmental ambiance might get slightly better for drama, coincidentally-

-lighting drawing focus cinematically, throwing shadows with great symbolic ties to alignment and choice, temperature regulating, sourceless winds that do little besides make dramatic lengths billow-

-as they do-

Tripod: -watches carefully, listens close-

-solemn in contrast to their companions, two out of three of whom are beginning to shift stir-crazily-

No mind to think. No will to break.

Between Worlds

-Pent tries to resist the urge to break out into a brief relyric of Hellfire before looking at his current keytarblade and realizing he has no idea how to make music using it. Oh also he remembers that he isn't supposed to be saying anything to react to the deal going on so that too-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

-Once all the Grunts leave, it's a mess-

-Spick removes himself from a wall he was embedded in, which repairs itself via Mobius tech-

-Shelgon!Jackie attempts to stand up-

Shelgon!Jackie: <Well that was a clusterfu- ah! My foreleg!>

-Gina, Zumi, Alli, and Nico are all also noticeably injured-

Jean: They got some of our own...

Arika: -cracks knuckles- They're going to pay.

Robin: Hold up. Scarlette was a friend before... And something seemed off about her...

Duolis: Whatever the case, we're getting our friends back. But how?

Nero: <Malie is the key, umu!>

---

-Aphrodite, Rod, and Laura awaken-

Yvan: -cuddles Salvador before looking at Shaka-

~Gladly.~

Oh @%$#... There's Another One.

-Rumplestiltskin pauses in shock before this voice becomes even more threatening than before.-

Rumplestiltskin: You know, I was going to kill you quickly before, but that seems too good for you now...

-Ren nods in appreciation at Rumplestiltskin's reaction.-

Ren: -cutting off Rumplestiltskin- Nimue, first Dark One, please appear to me so I may speak to you.

-Rumplestiltskin blinks as the name on the dagger begins to change, as if the letters were rewinding, stopping when the name "Nimue" appears.-

-Next to Rumplestiltskin appears an ethereal, slender, black-cloaked figure; who lowers her hood to reveal a a Loppunny that has patches of fur fallen away, revealing scaly, black skin.-

Nimue: I must admit I am somewhat impressed. Not many live long enough to know such things. Now. What is it you want to say?

Ren: I know what both of you want.

-Ren turn to the geas scroll and begins to dictate as the words appear on the scroll, both of the Dark Ones' eyes widen.-

-Ren turns to the two Dark Ones.-

Ren: I will write the information I have to offer on the scroll before signing it. Now. Do I have your attention?

Channah: .-. <Nope. Not familiar with hnau. Nice rhymes.>

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

 Stormchaser 

-Just stands in the center of the room as the Grunts clear out-

So... Malie huh?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Homer: Well, I mean we could do that, or... -in his head- how was that giant dog hiding in that room?

-"Homer throws out a ball and out pops Morrigan."-

-"The small ghost type floats for moment unsure what to do. Then she notices the fire tiger dogger behind her."-

Mor, after seeing the Arkanine: <WAAAHHHH, I'M SORRY!>

-"In her surprised state Morrigan unleashes multiple hypnosis in all directions, hitting the grunt and his Mr.Mime."-

Grunt: ....ROCK, N, ROLL!

-"He falls to the ground asleep followed by his Mon."-

Homer, ducking out of the way of the hypnosis: So, are there more of these guys?

Let's all have fun

-Umbra peers at the contract-

Umbra: This is quite the mess, Ren. This "Merlin" reminds me of someone...

-La is conspicuously absent-

Beowulf: <No, the Kalosian woman is right. It's obviously a trap.>

Jamie: <Didn't we trash Iron's base in Malie anyway?>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Basket: <Oh, hnau is a term from space-Narnia used to refer to any sapiant-but-physically-embodied lifeform.>

...

<Hi, I'm Basket.>

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

-Echo stares impassively out toward the escaping Iron grunts.-

Echo: ...Yes. They're blatantly leading us into something, but our best option is to take the bait. Never mind the hole in the wall, we can deal with that later. Everyone, heal up however you need, let's get this airship moving.

-Mason rushes up.-

Mason: They're probably talking about the same one I was stuck in. I can point it out.

-Ever reenters, carrying some large, flat boxes in his arms-

Ever: Hey everyone, I got some post-victory pizz—

-...-

Ever: ...Oh dear.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

 Stormchaser 

Lucius... you damned fool.

-To Jamie-

It almost certainly is, especially since they'll expect us coming, but it's a trap that we'll have to spring regardless.

After a pleasant cuddle session, Salvador relinquishes his grasp on Yvan, even though his hands are still lightly grasping Yvan's shoulder.

Salvador: If you don't mind, I might get prepared for bed early tonight. Messing with time tends to really take it outta you, you know?

Salvador gives Yvan a soft smile as he lets go of Yvan's shoulders and bows.

Salvador: So, if you excuse me, I'll just go do that.

Salvador starts heading up the stairs, before turning around to once again, smile at Yvan.

Salvador: I guess I'll be seeing you there then~?

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Fae Legalism 101

-Pent just remains sticking back and not saying anything but he does idly ponder about that earlier thought as he handed over the dagger. There had to be superheroes in Makbeliv, he had deduced as much. Even if the MCU didn't count there was still that one done in CGI, even if that didn't count there was still the Pixar one. And if that didn't count... Actually he didn't have another layer there to fall back on-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Channah: <Channah. Ey.> -notices that the action has died down and returns to her Pokémon-

Liberty: <Looks like we're going on another raid... Those poor captured folks. That was one quick ordeal.>

Channah: <N-Now?>

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

 Stormchaser 

-To Mason-

Got it, lead the way.

-Doing a quick headcount of those left behind and starts pacing-

If we're going to counterattack, we need to do it as quickly as possible, we don't need to give them extra time to prepare. I want Scarlette and Lucius back safely, but as they are... we're going to have to treat them just like our other enemies until they're safely subdued or successfully talked down.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Makbeliv, The Space Between Warps

-Thespi's starry eyes widen at the Summon Bigger Fish-

-(Biggest Fish?)-

-and she just...watches, with her friend, as Ren lays out the terms-

-she sobers slightly at the cost he might pay-

(-it's so much...heavier, there's no one-and-done deal resolution-)

-but her silent awe only increases for it-

-there's a subtle spotlight on Ren-

-and at the ending one-liner, she just...breathes-

Tripod: -waits, watches, then after processing, long and hard, silently radiates approval-

Plusle, Minun: -gone silent, as the deal is laid out-

-the Plusle smirks, but her eyes are heavy-

No mind to think. No will to break.

-Echo nods-

Echo: If anyone's not ready to tackle this mission, now would be the time to step out. Nobody will fault you for passing on this.

Rose: I have to go. We all know I'm the one she wants.

Mason: Yeah. Don't do anything stupid.

-Debug is still scurrying around, trying to wait out the timer.-

Place Your Bets! Has Our Coordinator Bit Off More Than He Can Chew?

-Nimue and Rumplestiltskin stare at the first two items of what Ren was offering.-

Nimue: How do you know these things?

Ren: From where we are from, your stories and histories have been documented in their entirety. I can't tell you too much about your futures because of the risks of destabilizing time, but I can tell you in general terms about how things end.

Rumplestiltskin: Prove it.

Ren: I know that you, Rumplestiltskin, were abandoned by your father, Malcom, twice. Once at the home of two wool spinsters. The second time as he become "Peter Pan". When you were older, you married a woman named Milah and had a son named Baelfire. In order to insure your son had a father after the Ogre Wars, you maimed yourself and were branded a traitor. Now unhappy, your wife left you for the pirate Killian Jones - who later took the moniker "Captain Hook". After you you became the Dark One after killing Zoso, you ended the Ogre Wars. Unhappy with the outcome, Beowulf tried to entrap you but—

Rumplestiltskin: Enough! You've proved your point, dearie. Now what is you can tell us?

Ren: Very well...

-Rather than dictating the next bit, Ren writes the next bit himself-

-Ren turns back to the Dark Ones.-

Ren: Do you find this information acceptable?

-Rumple and Nimue stare at the newly added lines. After a few moments Nimue smiles sinisterly.-

Rumplestiltskin: You seem to be offering a lot for this, dearie.

Ren: Well I AM asking for a lot too. I guess there is one one thing left to do.

-Both Dark Ones watch as Ren turns back to them and signs the contract.-

...But if you're staying... we leave for Alola as soon as possible.

I dropped the ball, and now our friends are in the hands of the enemy, but we'll get them all back.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Channah: -sniffs- <...Pizza. I mean. Yeah. I'm in.>

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

Nico: Unfortunately I'm out.

Zumi: As am I.

Gina: And I.

Alli: Me too...

Shelgon!Jackie: -grunts- <Ditto.>

Robin: Florence, escort them to the Stormchaser infirmary.

Florence: -nods- <On it.>

Robin: The rest of you... prepare yourselves.

-There are several stern nods, and Leeya starts healing mons-

-Meanwhile a Clamperl pops out of a Pokeball-

World's Oyster: -to Jackie- <Hey! I don't know about you but I'm saving Gabe!>

Shelgon!Jackie: <Be my guest...>

-Yvan waves and giggles-

-Collective gulp-
