Route 4 

Well I did visit briefly, under an SEP Field an-

-Suddenly shriek-

We should probably check on them.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Channah: -sighs- I suppose... -starts heading over to the source of the scream- You were saying?

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

 Route 4 

-Moving-

Saw Ever, we had a bit of a talk.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Channah: Ever... The blue guy? Yeah. I wasn't gonna go, but the team wanted to spend my money on con junk, so... Upside is that uh, I bought Dolabella a Big Savings body pillow. I mean I'm offended that it exists, but his reaction uh-oh.

-Lo is lying paralyzed in the remains of a hedge, squawking as various agitated wild Pokemon take potshots at her. Necrobutcher is using her as bait, madly attacking wilds drawn to the commotion-

Channah: -gets out her vacation camera and takes a picture-

Lo: -to Necrobutcher- <I WILL - FEED YOU YOUR OWN ANTENNAS - AND EAT YOU - ALIVE>

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

 Route 4 

Also that you thought that I was fucking with you a couple weeks ago and apparently most of the J-Team is aware, but it's whatever...

-To Channah-

I'd suggest recalling them both.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Diane stares agape at the screen.-

Diane: BUCKY????

Kai: Worth it.

Diane: FUCK YOU, MARVEL. FUCK YOU FOR THIS. YOU HAVE TOYED WITH MY EMOTIONS FOR THE LAST TIME.

Kai: -downing a shot- So fucking worth it.

Diane: KAI DO NOT MAKE LIGHT OF MY TORMENTED HEART, I AM CRYING BECAUSE BUCKY IS BACK BUT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HIMSELF AND I AM SO DISTRAUGHT

Kai: I can make it worse.

Diane: DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE—

Kai: His theme has kazoos in it.

Diane: ...KAI FUCK YOU WE'RE REWINDING

Kai: 😉

There's a faint... glow, almost from beyond the treeline.

It's not clear what, exactly, the glow is, but it's probably not a fire.

Mòrag: "Quiet, we can try and sneak up on them. Assuming that's them."

Artoria takes off her scarf.

Brynhilde nods. "I can be a distraction."

"Gloire, en tour."

She flicks out her sword out, and calls out to the thief, pointing her sword at them.

"Vous irez quelquepars, vilain?"

Meanwhile, Gloire phases into the ground.

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

Channah: Wait, that one was blurry. -takes another picture, then goes over to withdraw her mons- I know his grammar's a crime but you can't let it get to you, Lo.

Lo: -glowers steadily as she's withdrawn-

Channah: -looking at Necrobutcher's pokeball- Hmm, might need a different strategy. He wasn't tired at all... -to Tagg- So much for that.

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

Hajime: "Heh, fair. They apparently convinced some people, though."

Buddy is about to be impressed but winces as Chopper falls on his face.

Buddy: <Might want to... work on your landing.>

Soujin: "I admit it's a bit odd of a thing to start with, but anything we *could* do to prove we're trustworthy?"

The group emerges here, a jungle area at night. The area is generally forested, with rock outcroppings here and there.

Amos: <Heh, back in the woods. Though this is pretty different from what we're used to, eh, Copper?>

Copper: <Yeah. Wonder what those pirates might be up to here.>

Jones: <Guess we'll find out, huh. Glad this place is at least humid, though. Won't be as much of a transition going on land.>

Meanwhile, a surprised voice comes from somewhere.

???: <...Beorc?>

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

Anna: <My apologies. I do tend to get carried away.>

-She's knocked off her fe- I mean talons and falls on her back, the wind knocked out of her.-

Anna: <Not bad.>

-She uses her position to leap at Zoroark Purple with an uppercut.-

---

AU!Shaun: "As a show of good faith...why don't I help you fix your RV?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

<I roll to use Shuttle scanners if it has any, to scan the anomaly for traps.>

Die rolled

"Success, the ship scanners go off and find no traps upon the anomaly itself."

Daniel looked over the crew, "Okay, we're gonna fly into this thing, see what's on the other side, everbody ready?"

"Care to roll auric sense Mr. Lucario bloodline?"

<... Can I?>

"Well of course..."

Daniel took a deep breath and extended himself into the anomaly, his auric sight brought back nothing, "Huh... what's beyond this thing?"

A security guard walked up and had JD and Sholto empty their pockets of non-essential items, and walks them over to the dorms.

JD takes this time to talk to Sholto, "So, you have experience right? What do you expect to see in her dorm room? I'm guessing signs of a scuffle."

Down: That presence it's... Familiar...

-She stares at where the figure vanished for a few moments-

<Ah Right. Yes, that may be best>

-She nods a little distractedly and starts heading for the exit-

Shinobi: <Hmm... Smells like something's up alright>

-He ventures closer to the building and looks around for any other signs of where something that busted out might have gone, then looks in the opening-

The Academy, Yellow Wing

-Tanya throws her jacket on the couch before storming off to her room.-

Tanya: RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

-A large boy, easily six feet tall but without the mature musculature to support it, looks up from his laptop.-

Charles: Erm...

-Two more Yellow Eyes walk in, both sharing a tired sigh. One, a tall brunette girl - easily on the higher end of five feet - and the other, a short but broad boy.-

Felicia: It was another bust. We looked everywhere.

Melvin: Fuck this, I'm going to bed before Tanya gets back. Oblivion would be preferable to hearing her scream more.

-The short young man stomps off to his own room as Charles pointedly goes back to his laptop.-

Robert: I can't help but think that after the twelfth time trying, you would have found him if he were there.

-Felicia rolls her eyes at the last Yellow Eyes, who was busying himself at the workbench.-

Felicia: You would think - but Tanya won't take no for an answer.

Charles: Why is she the boss, anyway?

Robert: She's the oldest.

-Charles knew the answer was coming, but still winced at it. His lamentation was interrupted by the sound of the PA coming on.-

Dr. Hayes: Yellow Eyes, report to the debriefing room.

-Groans of frustration echoed from both of the closed doors as Tanya and Melvin dragged themselves up.-

The Academy, Debriefing Room

-Thankfully, for everyone involved, Dr. Hayes did not make them wait - he was waiting for them.-

Dr. Hayes: Before any of you start, I am fully aware of the results of your last expedition through the Metaverse, and I believe I have a hypothesis as to why you cannot locate the target, Derek Morton.

-Tanya glares. Dr. Hayes pointedly ignores her and continues as everyone else takes a seat.-

Dr. Hayes: We have discovered that certain individuals, who all share an unknown trait, appear to be able to bend the Metaverse around themselves, created a particularly large distortion cut off from the majority of the rest of the Metaverse. Due to these pocket dimensions all apparently sharing the trait of being created at the subject's whim, we have deemed to call them "Palaces".

-He turns on the slider, showing a person creating an almost gravitational indentation in the second "plane" above the physical plane.-

Dr. Hayes: However, these Palaces have been extraordinarily difficult to isolate and enter. However, one of our Archaeocomp units has been able to be repurposed into a sort of "gateway". The subject, who was not a Yellow Eye, reported very Metaverse-like imagery before being terminated by the local defenses.

-He hits a button on his remote, and the next slide shows the old, tarnished-silver Archaeocomp unit. The screen shows three blank fields on it.-

Dr. Hayes: However, in order to locate and breech the field around each palace, we require three pieces of information. The user's name, the area the user is using as a basis for this massive distortion, and the image the user is basing the distortion off of. For example, we chose "Sally Morton", due to her connection to your target. The field confirmed, so we continued based off of the dossier we have on her. Her basis for the distortion turned out to be "East Phenac City". It appears that both areas large and small will work. The last one was a considerable amount of guesswork, but the image of her distortion was "police state".

-He hits the button, the monitor turns off, and he waves the group into the next room.-

Dr. Hayes: When we entered the name "Derek Morton", the Archaeocomp gave a confirmation. However, the last two fields are giving us a considerable amount of trouble.

Tanya: You can't just hook it up to something that just types in every possible word?

Dr. Hayes: We didn't believe it would work like that but... yes. That is currently the plan. Make sure you are all ready for when we get the complete gateway.

-And down goes the doge.-

Kaisei: "Hmm..."

-He tosses a Dusk Ball.-

Thresher the Garchomp: <READY TO DIE, BITCH!>

-Kaisei sighs.-

Kaisei: "I apologize. Thresher here is what you would call an "edgelord supreme". But Up To Eleven."

Thresher: <YOU'RE TOO WEAK FOR ME!>

-He swings his tail at the Lucario.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Stormchaser

“That’s okay; so is D.C.,” Colt chuckled.

And then D.C. was Dragon Tail’d. <Woah!> He hollered as he was forcibly returned.

Colt grabbed a Luxury Ball, and threw it. A Blaziken landed, Blazikenite at the ready.

<How do we do this?> He asked his trainer.

“Just quote some song lyric; I’ll follow up. The other way works, but you should instigate it,” Colt explained.

<Okay...> Roy nodded, snapping his talons a few times in thought. Eventually he spoke up.

<Promise me you’ll try, to leave it all behind,> he started, clutching the Mega Stone to his chest.

“‘Cause I’ve elected hell; lying to myself.”

The Mega Stone in Roy’s talon as well as the Key Stone hidden in Kaisei’s opponent’s headphones lit up, and soon a Mega-Evolved Blaziken was staring down Thresher.

He quickly dashed up in an attempt to strike the Garchomp into the air.

Game Night

“Ready as I’ll ever be,” Absent shrugged, grass knuckles on standby.

In Mauville City, a panicking trainer in a Golisopod hoody and similarly-themed sunglasses and his Galvantula are running around the city.

AC: <Are you kidding me?! How do you lose a DRAGON?>

Leo: I-I guess he left while we were sleeping! He couldn't have gone far!

AC: <And why'd you even decide helping him, anyway?! Didn't he try to kill you?>

Leo: C'mon, you know we can't just leave him here!

"August": *slowly following behind with his Gigalith doll*

Cerbeau: <Maybe he gave up? I mean, he left our scarf behind.>

Leo: Well, still.

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, a Hydreigon is roaming around.

Icy!Blitzwing: <I shouldn't need a human's help to get out of some region. It couldn't be zhat hard...>

-Corrin nods, and quietly continues.-

-Zoroark Purple is socked right in the jaw, and goes sprawling backward onto the ground.-

Zoroark Purple: <Gah, fuck, that hurt. Need a breather, I think.>

-He sits upright, rubbing his jaw.-

Zoroark Purple: <Not bad, definitely. I think I bit my fucking tongue.>

-Scarlette is in her room. Maya is busy pestering Gus and Bella to no end.-

Man: Oh? I'd certainly appreciate the help, and it gives us a bit of time to talk. What are your names?

Click!

PEFE!Every: Alright, I have the solution!

Rotary: <Hello!>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Scarlette yelps in surprise as PEFE!Every appears.-

Scarlette: Aah! Every! Hi! Oh my gosh hello!

-Maya immediately loses interest in Bella and Gus, in favor of sniffing and investigating PEFE!Every-

Maya: <New person! New person new person new person hello I love you please pet me hello!>

PEFE!Every: Eep!

-PEFE!Every hops onto Rotary, who blinks once in rotation, and hisses at Maya like a cat-

-or possibly a snake-

Rotary: <Every, did you not warn Scarlette we were coming over?>

PEFE!Every: I may have forgotten.

Rotary: <Our apologies.>

-Rotary pets Maya's head in lieu of PEFE!Every-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Eva: Let's just find a transform item, use it and put it back. That was what I wanted to do in the first place.

Merah: <I guess so. I just hope it's allowed.>

-Eva picks out a hat from a shelf, sends out Borealis and puts the hat on her-

Human!Borealis: Wait- Whaa?

Eva: I was expecting that to take longer.

Human!Borealis: What?

Eva: Look in the mirror.

-Borealis looks in the mirror-

Human!Borealis: What? Why am I a human?!

Eva: This place sells some weird stuff. But it's not permanent.

-she takes the hat off Borealis-

See? You can still understand me, right?

Borealis: <Yeah, it's like I'd known the language my whole life.>

Eva: Yeah that happened to me when I first turned into a pokemon.

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

-Maya whimpers and cowers a bit when PEFE!Every hisses at her-

Maya: <I'm sorry oh my god I'm sorry please forgive me I love you I'm sorry>

Scarlette: Uh, sorry about her, she's...

-She digs around for Maya's Poke Ball, and recalls her.-

Scarlette: She's a handful. S-so, um, you said you have a solution?

Leo: Okay, if I were a Hydreigon in a region I didn't know, where would I end up?

"August": *looking around quietly*

---

Said Hydreigon was currently looking for a place to hide. He was very familiar with the threat of being captured, and thought hiding somewhere would be a good idea. He could always continue his trek back to Unova when there were no Trainers awake.

Question is, where could he hide in this city?

---

Cerbeau: *thinks for a bit* <Maybe the abandoned Game Corner? I mean...it's abandoned.>

Leo: That could be a good place to look; there aren't too many abandoned buildings in Mauville.
