ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Trans rights are human rights. JK Rowling preaches hate. If you sit at a table with five bigots and say nothing, there are now six bigots.

Amanita: Gah!

Phobos: <AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!>

Amanita: Come on, man, you're a Gengar.

Phobos: <H-how would you f-f-feel if a human j-jumped out at y-y-y-you?>

Amanita: I...guess that's fair. Kyler, wait!

-she runs after him-

You shouldn't go off alone!

I'm having to learn to pay the price

-instead of the Espeon, another voice answers - it's weak and scratchy but familiar-

Garrett: They're not - intelligent. Just kill it.

-Channah's older brother is sitting against the wall where the Espeon came out from behind. He's breathing heavily and bleeding worse, a bandage wrapped around his head and various slashing injuries all over his body. He looks like he was recovering from a wild Pokémon attack when another one tried to gore him-

Manspeon: -mumbles more to itself, in a voice reminiscent of Hale, then raises its fugly head and fires off another Psybeam-

-the Cherrim stops and proceeds to speak in an impossibly sad tone-

Arkady the Cherrim: <My trainer is coming for you. Please don't stay your hand.> -starts to trundle away from Pent, drooping-

-the blood-soaked hallway beckons-

-just don't slip-

-Amanita doesn't have to go far to catch up with him - Kyler has stopped at the threshold of the living room. He's staring at something on the ground-

-it's a body, covered in a black sheet and lying spread-eagle on its back. A rope trails out from the head's side of the sheet and a trail of blood leads from the body to around the back of the couch, like it had been dragged. There's a piece of Altaria floof next to the body as well, along with a Durant leg-

Kyler: ... Oh god.

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

 Healing World 

The real Garrett, or a figment? Suppose it doesn't really matter though.

Lucani: -Fires off a Bug Buzz that would likely have an effect akin to leaving living things in a microwave-

Wait... maybe I shouldn't have just taken the word of someone who I know thinks of mons as tools at face value.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Basement World

Your trainer is a crazy murdery guy and I should fite him, got it.

-He immediately tries to draw his sword or some sort of weapon before starting slow and careful walking through the base-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Amanita: ...Oh.

Phobos: <Well that's not so bad.>

Amanita: ...R-right. Alright, stay calm, something's here and it's fucking with us. I've been in this kind of situation before far too many times, just try not to let it get to you.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-the Espeon lets out a screech as the Bug Buzz does something bad to its organs and it expires-

Garrett: There we go. Th-thanks. -coughs, then tries to stand and fails- Ugh... Fuck.

Arkady: <...He's lost his mind.> -stops and waits for Pent, then walks along with him-

-the hallway appears to be longer than it's supposed to be. Office machines and other Rocket paraphernalia line the hallway-

Arkady: <I can't reason with him.>

-suddenly, a slim young man steps out of the solid wall - It's apparently Lewis, although Pent will probably not recognize him. He looks waterlogged and his eyes are sunken-

Lewis: ... -locks his eyes on Pent and starts speaking in a dreamy, distracted voice- ... What? The Champion? Yes. I can defeat him... -raises a hand, which elicits a Zapdos scream and a bolt of lightning from the ceiling to strike at Pent- Of course. I am the vessel of the Mob, am I not?

Kyler: ... Oh god... -he seems frozen-

-there's yet another note on top of the body, written in the same hand as the one on the wall-

-sitting where a chimney would normally be is a large-ish silver ornament; it looks a little like an old-fashioned balance scale with two plates for holding things-

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

Basement Brawl - VS Thunder Gangster Lewis!

-Oh crap lightning-

Champion? I think ya got it wrong bro, I've never been able to get around to challenging an Elite Four!

-He ponders a little before sticking his sword into the floor, might be good enough to draw the lightning away from himself personally-

Alright there Mighty Thor, let's rumble.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

 Healing World 

-As the Espeon asplodes-

Damn, didn't seem like it would've stopped though, Lucani Thunder Wave'd it and it still came after us. Should've tried getting a scan on it though, behavior of the others suggested some sort of pack mentality, will likely desire revenge for their fallen comrade and are possibly plotting right now.

-To Garrett-

So... how'd you get here exactly?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Hae-won hears the shotgun and immediately sends out Akravator.

Akravator: <Hey, when did we get to Lacunosa?>

Hae-won: "...I heard a shotgun. Let's... be careful."

Akravator hears and nods.

Hae-won, unsure about the red glowing, decides not to head in that direction yet. Might be good later, but for now, heads somewhere away from the shotgun noise.

Amanita: Great. Great. Okay, stay calm.

-at this point, she seems to be speaking mostly to herself-

Where's literally any of my cousins when you need them...

At least this isn't that department store.

Amanita: So. There's blood, so it must have been the knife in the bathroom, right? I was never good at Clue as a child. Why is this coming back to haunt me?

Ever: Mmrmrmrrr.

Ever: -groans-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Jimmy takes a deep breath, and marches into the hole, "Best go find them before they get hurt..."

Shiki is currently leading Vi to a cabin, much to the latter's confusion.

Vi: "Okay, but what if I was a spy?"

Shiki shrugs. "That's above me in the food chain."

Vi: "Okay but I literally just told you I worked for Mobius up until a month and a half ago."

Shiki: "I don't think you're lying."

Vi: "... You guys have terrible operational security."

Shiki: "Yeah. We do."

Vi: "So why don't you -"

She's cut off as a Zangoose tackles her.

Ryoma: <BRIGAND! YOU SULLY THE NAME OF RAIJINTO.>

Aurelius: ~I told you so.~

Vi attempts to bat Ryoma off of her, with little success.

Shiki looks confused, having never played a Fire Emblem game.

Aurelius lifts Ryoma by the scruff of the neck like a cat.

Ryoma: <Unhand me!>

Vi: "... Wait, are you Ryoma?"

Ryoma: <High Prince Ryoma of Hoshito, to you, brigand.>

Vi: "Here, take your Arceusdamn sword. It's been more trouble than it's worth. Also, you're welcome for not giving it to Mobius."

Ryoma: <... It seems I misjudged you and your intentions, my lady. My apologies. Oh, XANDER!>

The Seviper slithers out.

Xander: <What is it, Prince Ryoma?>

He looks up at Vi.

<You have my sword.>

Shiki: "Hm. Hoshito..."

"What's that?"

Vi looks at her. "Later."

-The Stormchaser lands. A voice projects across the PA system.-

Echo: We have arrived in Lumiose City. Please watch your step and keep an eye out for Rich People with Rich People Problems.

-Brie steps out of the airship, grinning-

Brie: It's been way too long since Kalos. Hopefully I'm not going to end up getting drafted into anything again...

-she yawns-

Oh well. I should take the time to enjoy myself before that does, in fact, inevitably happen.

???: Sure.

-and we pan down to Ever, still lying on the ground-

-...-

Brie: ...I don't know if you can inchworm your way through Kalos.

Ever: Fucking watch me, Madrigal.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Stormchaser

Colt considered leaving the Stormchaser, but a part of him didn’t really want to leave.

If he did, he’d be tempted to challenge Kalos’ League. And his team was no doubt miles more fatigued than he was. So he stayed in the airship, sitting down somewhere and drinking a few cans of Lemonade.

Someone might notice him, being alone save for the Weavile and Fire Emblem character in an orange scarf also having a can themselves.

Bwahte 4

Kazuma appeared, leaped off his counterpart’s head and slammed Facepalm Over Two into the closest of the two sub-bosses. Julius sent out Monoxide to follow him as Colt leveled Sylveon’s Desire at him to help him recover the damage.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

-After an extended silence, Mordred finally gets a text back from Corrin.-

-Or, rather, several.-

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Silas stretches and looks out over the horizon as he steps off his airship, "Good to be back home."

Bishop then responds, "Captain, the next location just became clear."

Silas shoots Bishop a look before setting out texting.

-Julius approaches Robin-

Julius: Robin! I met this man named Silas and he taught me about this world beyond the sky called space!

Robin: Space, huh? I was there. It was honestly terrifying.

Julius: -sparkly-eyed- You were? Amazing! Tell me more!

Robin: That's a story for another day, since... It involves stuff you should learn about this world firsthand. We're landing in the Kalos region, you should be able to find more there.

Julius: -pouts- Fine. But promise you'll tell me eventually.

Robin: -smiles- I will.

-Julius and Bathory are touring the city, Julius wide-eyed-

Julius: I've never seen a city of such splendor!

Bathory: <I've always wanted to do a concert here!>

-Their other companion is less impressed-

Jared: Why did Mobius bring us to the land of honhonhon baguette people again?

-they may be approached-

Lumiose

Hearing that the others have arrived here, Gogie has come from Santalune.

Yunwa is currently consuming ice cream from the place Silas showed them and the others earlier.

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every

Special thanks to Crow for spagging with me, this is easily my longest post ever.

After a bit, a Charizard wearing some sort of cloak comes into view.

Silas and his team stood there, Silas looked up at the Charizard and raised a brow, not visible under the mask he wore, so he opted to tilt his head slightly, “Huh. Wasn’t expecting that.”

~He knows Gogie, he’s probably a weremon as well.~

“That would make sense,” Silas responded, before waving to the Charizard.

Hazard waves back. <Weren't expecting I got caught or something?>

<At any rate, what's the plan?>

Silas stretched a bit and then turned to the warehouse before them, “Relatively simple, we get in and clear the servers, Bishop and I wipe them, then we burn them. Make the data unrecoverable on two fronts.”

Amber nodded, <Burning is the fun pa->

She stopped and then looked closely at Hazard, <When did you get fangs?>

<He’s a charizard Amber, they always got fangs,> Snakeye noted.

<Nah like fang fangs. Like Warrior of the Night Fans. Castlevania Fangs.>

Hazard feels the inside of his mouth.

<Hm, you're right, teeth do feel a little different. Might be worth asking one of the Thornes about or something.>

He smirks.

<And, yeah, I'm up for burning. Let's do it!>

Silas lets out a chuckle, “And I’ve got a nice little surprise to upload to Delta’s servers so if he tries to pull anything from this before we finish…”

Bishop was humming something about steamed clamperls and steamed hams to the tune of another song.

“Ready to head in then, Hazard?” Silas asked.

Hazard snickers a bit, then nods. <Let's do it.>

Silas opens the door to the warehouse and… it’s empty, he blinks a few times before bringing out his phone and scanning the area, “B1 you have anything?”

“Nothing Captain. The signal does relay back here but so far this one is better hidden than the Store.”

Snakeye is scanning the room, <S’always a hidden object or something that doesn’t belong. What was this warehouse used for?>

“It belonged to a Car manufacturer, parts would be held here and assembled at the factories locally.”

<Okay, just keep a eye out for a specific piece that doesn’t say “car”.>

Near Hazard would be a odd lever on a Pillar next to some stairs, the lever itself would appear cleaner than the dusty warehouse.

Hazard looks around for a bit, eventually seeing the lever, and, noticing how it appears cleaner than its surroundings, pulls on it.

The warehouse shakes a little as a section of the warehouse begins to open and reveals a set of stairs, Silas blinks a bit as he walks over, “Bit unusual. Last place just had a service elevator… here? Stairs.”

~Maybe this place holds just servers?~

“Doesn’t make much sense.”

Bishop spoke up, “We can find out inside Captain.”

Silas nodded and drew his Blaster pistol, tossing Hazard a vented muzzle like mask and some goggles, “Here, these will let you still spit flame and hide your identity.”

Hazard nodded and put the mask on.

<Can't say I know much about computers, but you know for sure this place has something, right?>

Silas holds up his phone and raises the screen to Hazard, a solid white line appearing in the AR view, flying right through the floor. “Bishop and I wrote this app to detect the flow of information and with enough effort, disrupt and control it.”

Silas steps down the stairs to what looked to be a bunker door, “Something is here alright.”

The door had a simple electric lock that Silas tapped his phone at, and the door opened, his team following behind him.

“If I may ask Hazard, what made you want to get involved in my little vigilante quest?”

<Simple. No matter what the guy might say about how it's 'just a job', thanks to him, I still got locked up and I want to take him down.>

The inside of the location was different from the server room, everyone could feel it and Ribbon said, <Spoooooky.>

Silas turned back to Hazard as he stepped into the base, “So the man is a sociopath basically. No care for others and a “professional” outlook, interesting. How did you get out by the way? Couldn’t have been easy.”

After a bit of looking around at the spooky interior, Hazard answered Silas in turn.

<...Truth be told, Gogie hired him to rescue me. Honestly, I would've preferred to have been rescued by someone friendlier, but I was desperate to get out and he was desperate to get me out and…> he sighs. <Still don't feel good about it. Had to ride back on his airship conscious. Still wish he'd frozen me like last time.>

“Oh man… the Trophy cases. Those things are messed up.”

Snakeye chuckled a bit, <Oh man… April 1st…>

Silas sighed and lowered his head a bit, “Gogie was working with Jay, something about you being leverage with her. I was her Lucario for a bit, I got my freedom, but I was a Deoxys and I may have force choked Gogie thinking he was someone else when I saw a bronze stone Mightyena in a trophy case.”

Hazard looks like he's about to say something, but holds it back and responds at hearing the tale of Silas becoming a Deoxys. <I heard… bits and pieces of that. Honestly, don't blame you. And I really don't envy how you ended up. That whole situation was messed up, really.>

“I’m still sorry for what happened. Jay however… she’s nothing to what this guy is… to what he’s a part of.”

~Really think that?~

“She’s a thief. The Hunter’s guild? A international crime organization dedicated to the poaching of mons for profit, doesn’t matter where… doesn’t matter who. They do the job and haven’t been caught.”

~And here we are playing vigilante…~

Silas nodded and stopped, holding everyone back he peaked around a corner, a window appeared, showing what looked to be a lab of sorts.

Tae spoke up, <A lab?>

Ribbon responded, <-Gasp-! I forgot you talked!>

<...You have been pretty silent, Swampert, now that I think about it.> Hazard responded.

<That said… any guesses as to what this place is for?> Hazard looked around, trying to see anything important.

Tae shrugged, <I’m more a mon of action.>

Silas looked about and then thought back, he dug through some saved photos and showed them to Bishop, “Oh…”

And then a lab tech walked into the lab, Silas pulled everyone down and connected to one of the cameras through his phone, it would be the best view they got.

The Lab tech pulled out some files and looked over them, Silas noticed something on her coat and zoomed in, revealing a insignia logo, of a pokeball made of curved triangles, with a lowercase delta next to it.

Bishop let out a sigh; “Pokefutures… Delta must have hired some Pokefuture members for his crew.”

Hazard scratches his head at the unfamiliar name. <...Pokefutures? I've heard a bit about them… What's up with that name anyway? Trying to poke their way into the future?>

“From what TNF can tell based on records, it’s because they don’t view mons as fellow sapient lifeforms.”

~No respect for the foodchain or dignity… Just go right ahead.~

“Does Delta know about this? He has to know…”

~Did Delta carry himself in a way that suggests he doesn’t care about Pokemon?~

<His own, maybe, but I saw the guy get upset when he talked about catching humans like he does Pokemon. Plus, you really going to get in a business like his if you're worried about Pokemon?>

Silas took a moment to process the info, “Interesting… Bishop how fast can you modify a vi-”

“Already done Captain.”

Silas blinked and just turned his head, “Okay… We’re burning this place down same as usual but we’re adding a little extra, just for Delta to know what’s up.”

Hacks nodded, ~Hey if he genuinely cares about his mons, these guys might be somewhat disturbing… Then again we’re presuming a lot about someone who’s probably a sociopath.~

Tae shrugged, <Do what we can.>

Silas had the group advance forward, the further they went, the more lab they saw, it was honestly shocking, then they came to the server room. It was unguarded, with a simple lock. Silas smirked under his mask and tapped his phone… nothing. He tried again a few more times and still nothing.

~Huh… maybe this door is off the server codes you got from the other place.~

“Great.”

Hazard looks at the door. <Well, if we can't get through that way, wanna see how heat resistant is?>

Silas shrugs, “Go ahead, make it quick.”

The team steps back to let Hazard go to work.

Hazard breathes out a Flamethrower from the mask at the door. The door does go a bit red but doesn’t seem to budge or melt, instead just seeming to… get stronger. The Charizard looks at this and frowns.

Silas sighs, “Figures with the labs around they probably mon proofed this area.”

Hacks looks up and goes, ~Well… there may be another solution.~

Silas looks up and sees a air duct, big enough for a human… but too steep to move about in, “Hacks I can’t climb th-”

~I don’t mean climb. You’ve walljumped before haven’t you?~

Silas understood what he meant, “Oh… really?”

Hazard shrugs. <If you've got a way to keep going, go for it.>

Silas did want to see this thing through, he handed Hacks his phone and motioned for Bishop, “You have absolutely no way to defend yourself.”

“I’m a assistant sir not a fighter.”

“...”

“My stats are not great.”

“Yeah we need to fix that so we don’t have to do this again. Okay. Let’s go.”

Silas pulled on his scarf and assumed mon form, <Hate having to use this body for stuff like this.>

~Hey give me a chance and I’d be a great trainer.~

<Yeah when you find a region the J-Team hasn’t already covered… Hey Hazard mind giving Hacks and I a boost into there?>

Hazard nods and tried lifting the two up.

<Thank you,> Silas responded, before Hacks took the lead leaping into the duct and propelling himself off the walls, Silas followed.

The two were right over the servers, ~Another advantage, no fall damage.~

<Yes I know I know… Metal bones and fighting physiology…>

~Well that and you’re lighter than in human form.~

<You know that weight is from the muscle I’ve put on.>

~And I’m proud of you for improving your physical health, come on. Let’s get the door open.~

The two kicked open the grate and dropped down, Silas taking his phone and with Bishop, waving it over the door lock, the gate opening at last.

Tae smirked, <I say this counts under my emergencies suggestion.>

Silas rolled his eyes, <Okay. Everyone ready?>

Hazard nodded. <Yeah, let's do this!>

Silas stepped over to the terminal and gripped his phone in his right paw, he raised his left paw to take off the scarf.

SLICE

And suddenly all was a world of pain and shock, as he could no longer feel his left arm.

His team gasped in shock, Silas could feel his blood running, it felt like ice.

<...Ah! Hey!> Hazard saw what happened, then glared to look at who or what could have done that.

It was a Bisharp, who had just cleanly cut off Silas’s entire left arm, it grinned at them and said, <Want it back? Come get me.>

It darted off laughing, Silas grunted and growled, <Gonna pound that Bisharp’s face in…> he growled in uncharacteristic anger.

~We came here to do a job Silas… Hazard and I will get the arm back... Just finish the job here, try taking the scarf off maybe you’ll get your arm back.~

Silas nodded, ~Ribbon… got anything to slow the bleeding?~

<Just heal bell but if we don’t get the arm back it’ll just seal up the wound…>

Tae stepped over and clasped one of his paws around the wound, <I’ll apply pressure.>

<Come on boys we got a bandit to catch! YEEHAW!> Snakeye exclaimed taking off, Hacks darted after him.

Hazard didn't need to be told twice, running after the Bisharp, a bit slower than if he could fly, but the limited space didn't allow for that much maneuverability.

Silas took the scarf off with his other hand and started to breath deeply, his mask filtering the air as best it could, he waited for feeling to return… and then looked down with horror that the arm hadn’t returned… he had just lost a entire limb and his brain was running through scenarios in panic, he felt like he was going to freak out, the feeling of something tightening around his leg gripped his thoughts, he looked down and saw Ribbon hugging his leg as best she could.

Silas took a deep breath and said, “Okay… I can do this with one arm… Bishop you’re working overtime… we’re burning this place to the ground.”

Bishop saluted in response and flew into the computer tower.

The Bisharp stopped over a pit, seemed she had run out of space, <Huh… Coulda sworn I made the right turn…>

A whistling was heard and she looked behind her, stepping out in front was a Cacturne with a poncho, a Lucario wearing a silver scarf, and a Charizard wearing bracelets.

<Wow you guys caught up quick… So. You want the arm back?> She teased playfully tossing the limb up and down like a softball.

<...Yeah.>

Something… seems to be going through Hazard's mind as he rips off his mask and lunges for the Bisharp, fangs bared.

The Bisharp looks on in shock as she proceeds to raise her arms in defense, dropping the arm, Hacks sensing a opportunity leaps for it, only to miss, and finds himself dangling over a empty pit, watching the arm of his best friend tumble below.

He looks up and sees Snakeye gripping onto him, <Arm is one thing… Boss would be devastated to lose you as well… idiot.>

Snakeye pulls Hacks up and they see the Bisharp fail in her struggle to hold off the Charizard.

Hazard sinks his fangs into the metal Bisharp and starts draining, not seeming to have realized she let go of the arm already.

The Bisharp goes limp as several Delta guards run by, Snakeye in a response fires off a volley of pin missiles knocking them flat on their feet.

~Did you?~

<No. Not yet, boss doesn’t want anyone dead…>

The two look over at the Bisharp who is looking weaker by the moment… Hacks can see it, she’s having the very life sucked out of her, while he holds no sympathy for someone who mutilated Silas, he’s horrified and responds, he tosses a aura sphere right at Hazard’s head, ~Hey stop!~

Hazard gets hit in the back of the head by the Aura Sphere and recoils, but pulls out.

<Hey, what was that for! I was…> He kind of snaps back and just drops the Bisharp on the floor.

<...Did you get the arm? I thought she still…>

Hacks is staring at him with a horrified look, pointing to the Bisharp, ~If I had to put a percentage… she’s below 60%...~

Snakeye speaks up, <The arm fell into that chasm as soon as you went Count Dracula on her ass. Buddy… Amber’s assessment was right. Those ain’t normal Char fangs… yer cursed.>

Hazard's a bit shocked. <...Wait, cursed? I…>

<...Dang, Dracula? I knew something was off about that guy.>

Snakeye sighed, <Wait wait wait… you actually got bitten by someone named Dracula… What was he a bat mon as well?>

<...Noivern, yes.> Hazard responds.

Snakeye has no response for that and just blinks, <Well… That… huh…>

Hacks shakes his head, ~Let’s get back… we need to finish up the job and Silas is gonna need more support than ever.~

<...Yeah, right. Let's make sure to get a fire started before too many of those guards show up to stop us.> Hazard says and then puts his mask back on and heads back.

Silas was having a little trouble standing, the bleeding had stopped but a good bit of blood had still been lost and thus he was woozy. Still, he had just finished ripping the info from the servers and had uploaded the virus and was waiting for it to work its magic.

Ribbon sat curled around his leg, doing her best to keep him supported, while Amber looked worried. Then came Hazard, Snakeye and Hacks, who didn’t look very victorious.

Silas asked the obvious, “Where’s my arm.”

~Lost it… the Bisharp tossed it over the edge when we caught up, she was just playing with us.~

Hacks didn’t want Silas mad at Hazard, he wasn’t going to risk it.

<Yeah, sorry… we couldn't get it back like that…> Hazard says mareeepishly.

Silas sighs, “Okay… okay... “ he’s clearly a little bitter.

<Hacks did make a dive for it, had to stop him from flying off the edge and into the chasm with it,> Snakeye explained, Silas stops and blinks.

“Hacks…”

~Sorry…~

“I’m just glad you are still here. I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you.”

Hacks nods and steps over, ~So… we ready?~

Silas hits enter and nods, “Guys… support me please… I’m gonna need extra effort for this…”

He puts his pistol away and draws a larger blaster, his foxverse revolver, “Gonna need extra firepower as well. Amber… Hazard, go to town.”

The others carry Silas out as Amber looks at Hazard and smiles, <So. Ready?>

Hazard smiles and nods. <Yeah.>

He breathes out a Flamethrower in tandem with the others, Amber lets her wild side run as she just takes to burning every server, the smell of cooked circuit board filling the air. Within minutes the entire place was burning, and smoke was filling the room.

<Come on, let’s go. We’re just about done here.>

Hazard nods and follows the others out.

The crew stepped out, having passed by several guards unconscious, with one last more being stunned with a blaster shot, Silas clicking open the chamber of his blaster, spent batteries falling out, “Concussive shots… had some resistance while you guys were doing your thing.”

Hacks uses a heal pulse while Ribbon uses a heal bell, Silas grunts as he feels his body’s healing process kick into overdrive, sealing up the wound, “Gaaaaagh.”

Silas rips his mask off in a panic and hurls, “huuuuuuugh… that’s awful.”

Hacks just pats Silas on the back and hugs him, ~So… What now?~

Silas looks over at Hazard, “Thanks for your help.”

Hazard nods. <No problem. Just call me if you need me again. Good luck with… yeah...>

He thinks to himself he probably needs to… look into what happened to him.

“I’ll think of you for the next raid…”

Silas gave a weak smile and began to hobble off, “Bishop… prep the Wing, we need to get me to a hospital… I appreciate the effort guys but… I need actual medical attention.”

Ribbon nodded, <That’s fair.>

Hazard looks at the situation. <...If you need help getting there, I can do that. Or should I just…>

Silas gives Hazard another weak smile and says, “Hey you’re free to stay if you want…”

The sound of engines appear as overhead his airship appears, “I’ve got transportation if you need it.”

Hazard nods. <Yeah, I think I'll join you.>

Silas nods in response as the Oblivion Wing lands and sighs, “Bishop you’re gonna have to fly for a while.”

“Of course Captain, Mr. Bishop at your service.”

Delta walked into the room, his helmet off, and his peons frantically going over their computers, they all stopped in silence when the boss entered.

“I understand there’s a problem…”

One of the peons nodded meekly and pointed to a terminal which was playing a odd video about steamed clamperls.

Delta gave a slight chuckle, “The hacker struck again?”

“He seems to have a fascination for Blue and has a Lucario with him sir… He got into one of our larger servers and took out the base.”

“Huh… seems our Jackal has a vendetta… revenge plots are common. 2 servers isn’t bad honestly.”

“You don’t seem that worried.”

“If the best they can do is this… I say let them…”

“But sir… more than half the archive was rendered inoperable and several agents lost use of their tools, targets got away… We’re looking at a 67% failure rate here.”

Delta stopped chuckling, “Oh. Dangerous are they? Actually did something to annoy me.”

He grinned, “Oh that’s rich…”

Then one of the terminals started to display footage from the area, showing labs, “I never cleared those.”

The footage continued, showing lab techs and scientists, discussing plots and plans, with a mon or two brought in for experimentation, Delta stopped smiling, “Pokefutures… Striking again and fucking up.”

“Sir… we’re hunters… why the distaste for Pokefutures?”

“Wasteful idiots who cause more trouble than they’re worth… Nothing good comes from having them working with you and it’s likely they’ll turn on you as well. begin reviewing our peons again, see if anyone worked with Pokefutures and begin vetting them immediately, we’re not letting our operation fall due to mad incompetence.”

The peon nodded, “Yes sir!”

Delta looked over the footage, “Well played Jackal… broke my shit and called out my negligence… Hope it cost you.”

They were made, good thing the escape route had been built here, numerous Pokefuture scientists had been discovered and Delta was not merciful. They had planned ahead and figured it was a matter of time until they did.

As they made their way down to the escape tunnel, the scientists could only ponder what the next big breakthrough would be… they needed something new. Something different, and the assault had been exciting if terrifying.

Then the scientist saw it, at the bottom, a arm, it looked a little dry but honestly it was still good biomass, with DNA, the scientist pulled on gloves and pulled out a quarantine bag, bagging the arm, they smiled… a perfectly good Lucario arm had been left there just for them. Oh what fun they would have.

Colt had decided to leave the Stormchaser and walk around a little more. He had placed his headphones around his ears and wasn’t really even looking where he was going, though his attention was enraptured by a familiar Zorua, accompanied by someone who looked vampiric.

At least, he thought they were familiar. He approached, but didn’t say anything. Just silently confirm if that was the same Zorua and leave before they notice you, he told himself.
