From the shade of a few trees
It appears they're departing.
Wally: "What'll we do now?"
"I've got an errand I still have yet to run. I'm sorry for dragging you both everywhere, but I promise we'll get to your training when I'm done, Wally."
Wally: "It's okay. I can wait."
And I'm naturally assigned to Wally, so I can't leave so easily.
"Speaking of which, I wonder where mine is..."
Boon Island
Gah! I lost him! I lost him! Where the hell'd he go?! Sigh...This is what I freaking get for following a Shadow Triad. I wonder how the other narrators did it.
There is no night without dawn. The sun is always sure to rise.Katie: -is packed up, and ready to go; wonders where Artesia went...-
-has fully woken up-
Hm...I wonder if we'll be moving on to Fortree soon...
-decides to do a bit of team-switching-
Slam's spent a while on the team, he probably wants a break for a while...so who should I unbox? Maybe Gyru, I haven't seen it for a while.
-boxes Slam and withdraws Gyru-
Gyru: -blinks, looks around- <Did you want me for something?>
Yeah, I was wondering if you wanted to try being on the team again?
Gyru: <...Not especially.>
You know, if you're that unhappy I can release you.
Gyru: <I am content to wait in the box. Fewer distractions.>
-decides it's probably better not to know what Gyru would be distracted from, and boxes it for Toxicroak-
Not gonna send you out just yet, I think.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Route 114
-Sammy is balancing on the end of a woodden pole, practicing with his keratin blade-
Sammy: <Normally, I would be practicing my tricks. But I guess that practicing for battle is just as vital... plus this regime of training is improving and refining my balence>
Aibileen: -Using Hydro Pump and Mirror Shot to oblitherate some rocks- <Besides, we haven't had a good fight in ages! Our skills are getting a little rusty. Plus, little Crowbar needs to learn how to fight himself-
Crowbar: -Using Bone Club to bat away a Serviper that tried to eat him- <Bad Snakey! Bad Snakey!>
Serviper: @_@
Poiseidon: -Using Round- <YAR HAR, AHOY AT THE MAST~>
Various wild Pokemon: <SHUT UP!!>
-Various Wild Pokemon fainted-
-Sasha is dancing... and sucking up unfortunate Lotads and Seedots with Hurricane in the meantime.-
-Sparkster is busy catching fish Pokemon to eat in the nearby pond-
-Fool is talking to Hatbox, who doesn't really need any training because "Chatter" has been able to overpower even the strongest of foes-
... Lenore?
-The Zweilous turns around to face Fool-
Both Lenores: ^Yes master?^
What's up? You're not training like all the others are...
^Right Lenore^: ^Well...^
^Left Lenore^: ^It's kinda because we're ready to evolve...^
^Right Lenore^: ^But can't... ^
Oh...
-Fool pets both Lenore's head-
It's alright, you'll know when your ready to evolve!
-Looking at some of the smashed rocks-
Are you hungry? Because I think Aibileen just made you're life easier for you...
Right Lenore: ^SMASHED ROCKS?^
Left Lenore^: ^YUM!^
-The Zweilous rush over to eat the aftermath of Aibileen's attacks-
She's stronger than she looks... I think she's ready to evolve, she just needs a little... push
-The egg starts moving in Fool's bag-

I'm having to learn to pay the price-wakes up-
Felis: <A Honchkrow came in here earlier.>
For what?
Felis: <I think he was asking for mons to join his murder. I ignored him because being bossed around by one Honchkrow is bad enough.>
Okay...
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.Katie: -is looking around for Artesia, and knocks on Mezzo's door to ask if she's seen her-
Marmalade: (to Mezzo) <By the way, while you were off in la-la-land, that Scyther said her name was Rosary. Just thought you'd want to know.>
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.-to Katie-
Come in!
-to Marmalade-
Okay. I'll keep that in mind if I see her again.
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.Katie: -enters the room- Hey, guys! Have either of you seen Artesia?
....No, sorry.
Frillish: -waves at Katie- Frillish!
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Katie: That's too bad. I haven't seen her in ages. -waves at Frillish- Well, aren't you just the cutest thing?
Silent's Room, One Hour Ago
The sound of yet another nightstand falling, the lamp being crushed into pieces, can be heard again, as Maekrite hast just managed to evade a big rock spit by Jemma that has unfortunately landed on the former fine piece of Fiorinan design.
"...Guys! Be careful!" Silent yells, holding a small [egg] above his head as he tries to not bump onto anything else.
Maekrite: <...See what you are doing? Come back here!>
Maekrite dashes towards the bed, where Jemma has garrisoned herself using the sheets and Silent's backpack. He opens his muzzle and fires several small poisoned darts.
With a "mya~", Jemma leaps around and evades, purring along the way, causing the Poison Stings to end up digging themselves into the wall.
"...They'll never allow us here again- oh wait, they won't already." Silent sighs as he observes the fainted Algira on the bed, now a prisoner of Jemma.
Jemma : <Your resistance shall be crushed, mya ~> — she leaps around to the other end of the bed, looking cute, trying to swipe at Maekrite along the way — <I'm the new queen of town!>
Jemma quickly picks up Silent's backpack and produces the wallet. Then she opens it and flailing wildly she starts tossing around Silent's money trying to hit the Nidorino.
"....AAAAACK! Maekrite! Solve this!" Silent commands, running to the bathroom. "Ichtacya, take care of the egg."
Ichtacya: <But I can battle!>
"Take care of the egg! We can handle this. I only need to fetch the backpack, Jemma's Pokéball is in there."
When Maekrite tries to leap to the bed, Jemma manages to knock him back with a Tail Whip and a Faint Attack. Maekrite falls, rolls on the ground and after shaking himself prepares to fire an attack.
"O_O ...Not inside here!"
Jemma : <Oh! Subversive pincushion, I can do that too!>
Jemma's eyes start shining blue, and then she opens her muzzle and charges Fire power from nowhere.
Maekrite: <...Aaack!> — takes the fire attack on the head. — <...Ugh! Darned cat!>
Maekrite shakes his head on his muzzle and after hopping to the side to more easily reaim at Jemma before she leaps away, fires an Ice Beam to the bed. However, the attack goes slightly above the bed, grazes Jemma's shoulder and impacts a picture on the wall with the signature of a very famous and deceased Kantonese artist.
Jemma : <eeeeeeep~>
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Jemma, now hidden besides the bed, produces a Pokéball from Silent's backpack and tosses it out releasing Lileep. The marine Pokémon, anchored vertically to the bed, simply makes a guttural sound of annoyance and turns back to examine the situation.
Jemma : <At last, time to prove yourself, servant :3> — points in Maekrite's general direction. — <Go there and fight him!>
Lileep: <...?> — waves tentacles as he sees Maekrite walk in from the other side of the bed.
Jemma -hisses and swings tail: < OBEY THE :3! > — :3s.
Lileep "shrugs", turns around and starts dragging eyrself towards the Nidorino, at his usual terrestrial pace of one cup hair a second. He does let out a sort of threatening growl towards Maekrite, though, and the Nidorino tilts his head, not knowing if to feel intimidated or amused.
Jemma : <....> — watches Lileep move.
...
...
Lileep: <Brrrrrrrr~> — waves tentacles.
Jemma : <.....> — hisses.
...
...
Jemma -blinks as realizes Lileep has finally managed to move an entire body length.
...
...
Maekrite stares intently.
Jemma : < T_T >
Lileep: <hmmm... getting on her nerves is fun...>

Fallarbor Contest Hall
(Through a megaphone)ARTESIA HAS JUST COMPLETED THE PRELIMINARY JUDGING AND IS APPEALING WITH JEREMIAH!
"I have the faintest feeling someone is looking for me..."
You can't really worry about it right now unless you want to forfeit the contest...
"Ah. That's right! Jeremiah! Night Slash!"
Jeremiah: <Yes! Your Majesty!>

There is no night without dawn. The sun is always sure to rise.Frillish: <>
(to Mezzo) Remember? We met her on the way to Oldale.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Oh, that girl. No, I have no clue where she is.
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.Katie: Oh. I'm kind of worried about her. I haven't seen her in weeks. -pats Frillish's head- Every, your Frillish is such a sweetheart!
Outside the Inn
Lake: <I feel if I should repay you for helping teach me Dragon Claw, Nadia. But...I don't think there's any moves that I know that I can teach you. I mean, I certainly can't teach you Bubble Shield or Hydro Crunch...>
Comet: *Wanders over.* <How about Hydro Pump?>
Lake: <...Salamence can learn Hydro Pump?>
Comet: <It's an egg move normally, but I don't think anything can stop you from teaching it to her.>
Lake: <Huh.> *To Nadia.* <Want to give it a try?>
Corridor
-A certain Sceptile prepares to knock on the door to Silent's room, only to hear noises coming from inside.-
Treeo: <What's going on in there?>
-Treeo puts his head against the door, hearing some sort of struggle going on behind it. Now worried, Treeo knocks loudly on the door.-
<Silent? Maekrite? Is everything okay in there?>
Silent's Room
Ichtacya's voice can be heard coming from inside the room.
Ichtacya: <Treeo? Is that Treeo?>
"You can come in! Just close the door behind you, please...."
After entering, Treeo will find Jemma muzzled and tied to the ceiling, and the room looking... like, well, a room of an inn after a completely disorganized Pokémon battle.
Fanfic Recs orwellianretcon'd: cutlocked for committee or for Google?He is, isn't he? I should probably name him soon...
Frillish: -cuddles Katie's leg-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Katie: -shivers- He's also very cold.
Silent's room
Treeo: <Alright then...>
-Slightly cautious, the Sceptile opens the door and enters...
...Only to find the previously described scene in laid out before him.-
<...What on EARTH have you guys been doing?! And Why is there a Skitty tied to the ceiling?>
Lake: *Tilts head.* <It has no concept of time? Well, I'm glad you two don't make much use of it. It would make certain things much harder, that's for sure.>
Comet: <Oh, I see. I guess I'll have to ask someone else then.> *Sighs.* <I just hope they go to someone that we know well. We're all beginning to really like those guys. That, and I promised Anakin that we would have another fire-breathing contest when I evolve. And I plan to win next time.>
