"Don't mind that. That's just Clever-OS, he's a ally of mine, sort of a AI system... he just sings that stuff sometimes. I don't know why he does."

From the computer, came a rather deep voice, "Pleasure to meet you Detective. You want my advice? Never go for the obvious and remind this Porygon that he's wearing a meatsuit from time to time. Humanity isn't exactly something to-"

"Zip it Clever. Could you please?"

Clever played a image of a character shrugging before booting up the messenger and scrolling to the last messages sent, "This is why you stick with [Discord] kids. Now, let's see what Whoa Nelly had to say."

"He's also fond of bad wordplay, I apologize," JD added walking over to the computer to see what was sent.

Leo: Uh, y-yeah! Of course he's with me!

Heracross: *gets in a fighting stance* <Hey, butt out, buddy; this was our fight!>

???: *to Heracross* Hey, calm down, Herc! *to Leo* But you don't really look like the type who'd train something like a Hydreigon.

Icy!Blitzwing: *looks at Leo*

Leo: *having a harder time maintaining eye contact than he usually does* Uhh, yeah...

Leo digs through his bag (he actually managed to lighten his load offscreen) and pulls out an Ultra Ball.

Leo: Here's his Ball!

???: *makes direct eye contact with him* Can you prove it?

The direct eye contact and the abrasive tone made Leo freeze up. He couldn't just say "no", and he was put on the spot. He took one look at Blitzwing and decided to make it quick.

Leo: *mutters to Blitzwing* Sorry 'bout this, Blitzwing.

Icy!Blitzwing: <Sorry for vha-?> *disappears into the Ball*

1, 2, 3. Gotcha! Hydreigon was caught!

???: Wait, how come it-

Leo runs off before she can finish her sentence.

Stormchaser

“Shin no tatakai wa,” Colt started.

<Korekara da,> Roy reflexively finished before he made an attempt to strike at Thresher. Then again.

N’s Castle

Colt dove for cover, as did Kazuma and Sylveon. They poked their heads up from cover, Pot Shot, Cold Blood and Monoxide at the ready.

OW

Colt looked at Mew incredulously, muttered something about depth perception and resumed.

Totally Not 2001

Absent looked on in curiosity.

Sholto: <Oh, well, I don't mind. Heck, I'm wearing this!>

<And wordplay's cool. I'm ready to bear it.>

He looks at the screen to try and see if he can see what Clever is looking at.

Glameow: <...I'm guarding for the pack. You're here. In the jungle. Trespassing.>

Leo finally stops when he reaches Route 117.

When he stopped to catch his breath, Blitzwing wasted no time and came out of the Ultra Ball.

Hothead!Blitzwing: *glares daggers at Leo* <VHAT VAS ZHAT?!>

Leo: *still panicky* I was worried she wouldn't believe me and try and catch you anyway. *trying to calm him down* I-I won't put you in any battles you won't want to be in if you don't want to!

Cerbeau and AC catch up, with "August" much farther behind them.

"Though Medea still concerns me. Even moreso now."

Kori: -drops Nelly back in her cage, then opens the gate to Marco's-

<Your turn, Rockruff.>

-the log details a chatlog between scalieMistress and midnightTerror; the last few lines read-

Marco remains scrunched in the back, but it's a cage so it's not like he can really go anywhere.

Medea: It certainly was.

-suddenly sirens-

Odin: <The fuzz are coming to clean things up! Scram!>

-Medea shifts to Litwick and she and Odin flee-

-In the process however they may get separated from Bryn-

-Someone is suddenly grabbed!-

Umbra: Relax, we're here to help. You see any pirates around here?

She hops onto Gloire and rides off.

JD stared at the messages for a good minute, "Clever. Run a search on Macraul."

A new window opened up displaying an entire google page with notable results.

"The Macrauls are a old money Kalos family, a walking anachronism of nobility in these more modern times, they've got major ties and hands in a lot of Lumiose businesses, the family is quite large and active. Their casino-"

JD held up a hand and Clever stopped, "Okay. Send me a map to the noodle shop. We're going to have to talk with Rue Macraul it seems."

"Done."

"Also prep Teleport Chamber 14-B, I want a customized loadout of proper Droid tro-"

"No."

JD stared at Clever, "No?"

"No. You want to play detective that's fine, you want to ask for my help, totally okay, I like you and find this all amusing. However wanting to use resources that could be sold to wealthy and chaotic bidders to support your goody two shoes act is where I draw the line. Rely on your own skills."

With that, the connection cut and Clever was unresponsive.

JD blinked a bit, "huh..."

He turned to Sholto and deactivated his scanner, "So, sorry you had to hear that, personal spat. Getting in the way of professionalism... shall we go to the Noodle shop?"

-Thresher roars in pain, thankful his Rough Skin ensures that Roy gets hurt too.-

Thresher: <I AM THE SHARPEST OF BLADES>

-Fittingly, he attacks with a Stomping Tantrum.-

Stormchaser

<Sharpest of edges, ra - > And then the floor came out from under him and rose back up, bouncing him around more, removing the memory of the pain reimbursed from the move.

For better or worse. He jumped up to the ceiling and rebounded to slam his foot into Thresher’s head. It was his last stand.

Thresher: <THOU SHALL NOT MOVE ME, FOR I AM STEEL, UNYIELDING. DASH YOURSELF UPON THE BOULDER THAT I A->

-Kaisei sighs and recalls him.-

Kaisei: "I am about to show you the cutest Pokémon you have ever seen."

-He tosses out a Toxapex.-

Marina: <Oh, are we sparring now?>

-She lobs a Toxic at Roy.-

Stormchaser

“Could be cuter,” Colt shrugged. Roy made an attempt to Slash his talons across the Toxapex before he felt the purple sludge claim his consciousness.

Colt returned the Fire Emblem character, substituting the Luxury Ball for a Great Ball. He threw it forth with a holler of “Exhibit A!” and 9-Volt materialized, looking at the Toxapex before lobbing a Sticky Web.

Medea: <Phew, I think we lost them...>

Odin: <I think we lost Bryn too...>

Medea: <It is of little consequence, we can easily->

???: Two new Ghost types... This is a uniqe opportunity!

Odin: <Wait, who->

-two Dusk Balls fly-

-They shake thrice, then click-

-Julius picks them up-

Julius: Finally, I have a full team!

...Now what?

-A roaring bonfire blazes in the woods. A woman, seven Pokémon, and what is debatably a Bulbasaur gaze into it.-

Elizabeth: "Goodbye, old friends."

-She tosses her body pillows onto the fire.-

Lyra: -Currently dressed in a black gown and veil- <Should we all say some words?>

Cia: <Ah yeah brew, toutally!>

Nagandel: <Just pick an accent already.>

-In response to their comments, Lyra and Cia are blasted with a Hydro Pump and an Air Slash.-

Haku: <...this is good for you.>

Aristotle: <What this symbolizes...>

Cia: <Bloody 'ell 'e talks>

-Elizabeth just stares into the flickering flames.-

 N's Castle 

-Ann and co get into cover-

weremon jail

-she looks at Nelly-

<You alright?>

Lumiose stone emporium

-Eva is browsing the selection of stones with Merah-

Scarlette: Er, r-right. Yeah. That's fine. I, uh, guess I'll start tonight, then.

-Beat-

-She reaches for her phone to check how late it is.-

-Corrin gives an animalistic snarl, and leaps at the Gothitelle with a Dragon Claw.-

Zoroark Purple: <Really, only that long? You could have fooled me.>

-He reaches around instinctively for his bag, before realizing he doesn't have it with him.-

Zoroark Purple: <Ah, dammit, I left all my potions and stuff back in my room. Ah well.>

Grandpa Max: Familiar, huh? I didn't think it was a particularly common name.

Evelyn: Well, we both know Revy's history, so...

Grandpa Max: Nonetheless.

-He returns to looking under the hood of the RV, and frowns.-

Grandpa Max: Shoot, the underhood generator belt's worn out. I thought we had another couple thousand miles left on it.

-Scarlette's phone presumably states a time-

PEFE!Every: Alright. Chime!

-she sends out a Chingling, who lands on her head-

Chime: <Hello.>

-Channah and Basil are wandering the city-

Channah: Lost again. Knew I shouldn't have left Nino with the map.

Basil: -scratches at himself-

Channah: I hate big cities...

The Gothitelle attempts to telekinetically pick Corrin up and throw her into Artoria, while the Metagross slams an earthquake into the ground.

Brighid is thrown to the ground, and Calms her Mind.

Gloire: <They're superheroes, they can take care of themselves.>

Brynhilde: "In theory, at least."

Gloire: <A fair point.>

AU, Malie

Soujin: "Yeah, I think we all know the name."

"Though... you know where to get a new one?"

Lumiose Descartes U

Sholto: <We can go, yeah, but... mind if I ask what's up? With the bit about the 'goody-two shoes act'?>

As JD stepped out, he let out a deep sigh, "It's a long story."

Out of the dorms he stepped, looking over to Sholto, "To make it short, remember how I betrayed you at the Neo-Flare raid and tried to take that scientist? The people behind my cybernetic shell had deemed the scientist a worthy asset that would help to cause chaos."
