Siobhan: "No, that's what we're trying to avoid with proof-of-concept small-scale prototypes!"

Vi: "Yeah, what she said." She points a thumb at Diane.

Eva: Good point, but it would be cooler if you could control it so it could run around and cause havoc and or justice!

Merah: <Yeah, like something out of a sci fi movie!>

-Merah jumps up and down enthusiastically -

Eva: Well, one can dream...

"I must have missed the memo, because this is the first time I've heard any of it," Mark stated, more bewildered by the heavier remix than anything. He then quickly looks around before asking, "Wasn't someone here a second ago?"

Virbank City Gym:

"And I'll admit it Roxie: I'm not some rookie trainer. I've already beaten the champions of the Kanto and Hoenn region back home. I've got my eyes set on the Unova champion next, and I don't plan on stopping until I become the master of all champions. Couldn't give less of a damn trying to catch them all, but to keep things interesting I switch up 5 of my pokemon, save for my main Chopper so I'll have a team for every region," Mark said, almost tempted to repeatedly throw and catch an upward pokeball while idling, but resisting the urge.

Living The Fever Dream

<When you get to be my age and you're still free of wrinkles, things don't leave so easily. And I know that Silas doesn't swing any way, kind of hard not to pick up on that.>

Denali changed back and smiled, "Alright then! Let the trials! BEGIN!"

There was a loud bang and the room went dark, Hazard would feel something wrap around his wings, and suddenly the lights returned.

"LADIES AND GENTELMEN! WELCOME TO THE TRUST GAMES!"

A audience could be heard cheering and Kaisei would find himself at the bottom of a large tower, on top of which, was Hazard, a gem coating having contained his wings together.

"Challenge 1! The Trust Fall!"

Denali looked to Kaisei, "Just catch him before he hits the bottom and- oh wow I just realized you've got a farmer's bod, not exactly the muscle I'm looking for but I have to say still go-"

A gem hand came up and slapped Denali, they shook their head and smiled again, "Oh right! The challenge!"

Dracula felt a little ill, so this is what being drained felt like, <Blegh...>

Jimmy nodded and Raiden and Gray just started tossing Dark pulses as he began to fire at the heads of 5 of the 6 puppets.

It probably wouldn't do much but disorientation was the plan.

Around that point Roxie finishes with the song.

Roxie: "Heh, that's pretty ambitious. Not the first challenger with a goal like that, but ambitious nonetheless."

Stormchaser

Those present would hear something knocking on the ceiling.

Trust Games

Kaisei and Hazard are a bit surprised at the scenario they're put into.

Yunwa is in the crowd, eating... something. It's nonliving, but it's something.

Hazard: <So... hehe... this gonna stay on my wings the whole time?>

Kaisei: "You okay up there, Hazard?"

Hazard: <I'm fine, yeah!>

Kaisei gives a bit of a chuckle after hearing Denali's comments, but then hears him.

Kaisei: "Okay... I think I'm ready to do this..."

The fake Vulpix ears flicked again. "Hm?" Colt hummed, looking at where he heard the noise.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

-Julius and Gabe are here, looking around-

Gabe: Man, Kalos really takes me back; it's where I got Plauge Doktor, then Facet, my first two Pokemon...

Juilus: Right... Remind me of what we're looking for?

Gabe: Fossils!

Julius: You still haven't told me what those ar- OW

-he clutches his foot in pain, having rammed it into a strangely-shaped rock-

Gabe: There's one!

-he picks it up-

See? It's the preserved remains of an ancient Pokemon! This one looks like a fossilized jaw...

Julius: It turned to stone? Fascinating... But what are we doing with it?

Gabe: -grins- Bringing it back, of course.

-A scientist brings out a Poke Ball and hands it to Julius-

Scientist: Here you go! Remember fossil Pokemon need special care and food!

Julius: Thank you!

-to Gabe-

You said they could be dangerous?

Gabe: Yeah, because they predate the whole Vow thing. Don't worry, my team has you covered.

-Julius nods and sends out... A Tyrunt-

Tyrunt: ...

<I'm hungry!>

-attempts to bite a nearby chair-

Julius: You can't do that! I'm your leader now?

Tyrunt: <What are you talking about, weird mammal? I'm the king of town! You should listen to me!>

Julius: I am the high prince and you will    obey me!   

-Beat-

Uh, er, sorry about tha-

Tyrunt: <I like you. You've got chutzpah. No mammal's ever backsassed me like that and I'm impressed.>

Juilius: ...You too. Said you were the king of town?

Tyrunt: Yep!

Julius: Well, King Of Town. Want to join my fledging team?

King Of Town: <Just feed me as much as feasible and it's a deal!>

-the Dark Pulses buffet the sand-mons with a good amount of force; however, they seem to have more stamina than normal Pokémon of their kind, weathering it well. Akravator's Assurance hits the sand-Togekiss out of the air, while the sand-Lapras takes an Energy Ball to the face-

Song!Lapras: -snarls silently, rears up, and breathes a jagged Ice Beam at Akravator-

<You all must know... There is no reason to resist.>

Song!Chandelure: -shakes violently and douses half of its flames, attempting to placing a Curse on itself and Gray-

<Die here and be freed from my illusion. The waking world lies just below us.>

Song!Raichu: -twitches its tail, creating a Psychic web that fires at Thorn-

<I am doing you a favor in return for your gracious compassion.>

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

-someone may spot Gwen and Danny battling outside the entrance-

Gourgeist!Gwen: <Surely you can do better than that, Danny Phantump!>

Phantump!Danny: <Better than what? Eat shadow ball!>

-uses shadow ball-

Thorn: <Argh!>

-Thorn stumbles back, dropping to one knee-

Amanita: Are you okay?!

Thorn: <I've been distinctly better in the past, thanks. Now, if you could focus on helping me kill these guys, that would be nice.>

Amanita: We should probably keep that Raichu from taking more potshots. Sludge Bomb!

Thorn: <Sounds like a plan.>

-he points the red flower at the Raichu this time, launching a blast of toxic pollen and nectar-

Amanita: ...You know—

Thorn: -pointing his blue flower at her- <Stop talking.>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Mezzo is playing a particular game on her Switch-

Cinnamon: <Hey! This isn't Mario!>

Mezzo: Yeah, well, believe it or not I like to play other games from time to time.

Cinnamon: <But where's the red hats?>

Mezzo: Uh... maybe there's an unlockable costume with one?

-Pianis looks over Mezzo's shoulder-

Pianis: What are you playing?

Mezzo: J-Team Warriors.

Pianis: What?

Noelle: Oh! I remember that game!

Mezzo: Yeah, it's basically us but in these really large-scale battles.

Pianis: And you're playing as yourself and attacking these hundreds of guys using... tentacles?

Mezzo: It's forbidden dark magic.

Pianis: Suddenly I'm very glad you don't have any supernatural powers.

Mezzo: Ooh, magic bar's full. Transformation time!

-Mezzo clicks a button, and her onscreen avatar turns into her fused with a Nihilego◊-

Mezzo: . . .

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

-Duolis glances over-

Duolis: Aw look at them, they're adorable!

-a stray icicle spear is heading for Danny-

-jumps in front of Danny and is hit by the ice-

Guinivere fainted!

Danny: Gwen! Sis? You alright?

Duolis: -crossing her arms- Even so I'm going to need a word in from you before I let him take part in our operations. I just inducted a bunch of ex-pirates and they seem more trustworthy than he does right now.

-Indeed, as the group moves, the desert seems to get colder-

He's not going to betray us, if he does Yveltal will devour him for going back on her plan. Tangentially she also said trying to interfere with him would lead to her taking our souls instead.

The Beach Room

Sorry but we have unfinished business before we wake up. No personal slight unless you're the ghost of mister 11/21 there...

-He hefts his keytar, ready to start smashing constructs-

In which case, I have some major bones to pick with you.

The place with sand that isn't a beach or a room

Alright, anyone spot a massive fridge freezer anywhere?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Duolis: ...Hmm. I guess with that all in mind I suppose he can carry out our duties with supervision.

-she sighs-

...Sorry about that. How are you, Tagg?

-There is no giant freezer ahead-

-However there are some odd Rabbids and a sand cyclone-

-Julius is around, carrying King Of Town-

-To Duolis-

It's a bit of a long story and I'm still trying to bring together all the pieces, you?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-the sand-Raichu is promptly covered in poisonous sludge and falls back, part of its body dissolving into normal sand again-

-the Hard Stone flies at the sand-Chandelure and... just goes through its body, although the thing still jerks back from the force of the throw-

<You fail to speak good sense. We pose no true threat to your company...>

Song!Steelix: -uses another Earthquake, conspicuously angling so that it mostly avoids Tagg-

<We can only be helpful in the long run.>

Song!Meganium: -flings up flower petals around it and rushes at Pent, using Petal Dance-

Song!Togekiss: -flies around the group in a tight circle and dives toward Thorn, only to stop just before the Roserade to try to plant a Sweet Kiss on him-

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