Treasure Town

-Every watches Pariah- <...I don't like you.>

Post.

Don't rely on me being on here for long.

Lily still looks sad :(.

Rosie is STILL asleep.

Treasure Town

<Wolf said he might be coming too. I don't know if he will now that DS isn't.>

Treasure Town

Fortis continues hugging while her team attempts to explain things to Roc.

Treasure Town

Marmalade: -sigh- <I suppose it can't be helped...at least there are a few peoplemons I know aren't here.>

Somewhere in Angela-B

-A certain Seviper had been unknotted-

<Pepper: "Ugh... Why did you keep struggling?">

<Raider!Seviper: "Well gee, sorry for having a nervous system and feeling pain!">

<Bottles: "Well, the important thing is that the knot's undone...">

<Eir: "So... Since you're stuck with us for a while... Got a name?">

<Raider!Seviper: "Huh?">

<Eir: "I mean, we could call you 'thief' or 'scumbag' if you wanted... But... Most mons don't like being called that...">

<Raider!Seviper: "... It's 'Maurice'.">

<Eir: "... Mons seriously name their young 'Maurice'...?">

<Raider!Seviper Maurice: "Mmph... Yeah, and what are you called?">

<Eir: "Eir.">

<Maurice: "My name actually pops up every now and then.">

<Eir: >·( "... Don't make me pry around in your body again.">

-Aside-

<Moogle: "So... You're the Emperor of the Ancients, right?">

<(?): "Mmph... I see someone is sensible... What of it?">

<Moogle: "Well... Can you tell me a bit about the empire? What's the captial like?">

<(?): "A vast palace located away from the serf and merchant rabble of the cities by a lake with gardens. I keep the nobility there from time to time to make sure their little antics stay under my supervision.">

<Moogle: "... And what was the last group to join the nobility?">

<(?): "The Kecleon. They bought their title... But I will admit that they have their uses nonetheless...">

<Moogle: "And... The most recent eastern conquest of the empire?">

<(?): "Pbbt. Oh, well that's easy. Cyan Wood! I wasn't even on the throne for that one!">

<Moogle: "You really are the- Er... I mean...">

-Doing as close of an equivalent to a bow as he can-

<Moogle: "Your majesty...">

<(?): "Ah... So you're from the Empire... How did you, the medic, and the fresh recruit fall into the lot of these serfs?">

<Moogle: "Technically, the last two were with them originally... We had an unexpected development during an excursion of the island where the knowledge of gummis is said to have spread to this world.">

<(?): "I see... Well... It appears that I have at least one loyal subject of this lot...">

<Maurice: "Look, can I have my scarf back already?">

<Lardna: "You can take it back if you want when you're done with us. Besides, do you really think that we're not going to want to see a town or two here?">

<Maurice: "... Fair enough... Just... Keep your eyes and nose alert. There's some nasty stuff lurking around...">

-And slithers off with the group following-

Treasure Town

-Xakk returns, muttering to himself-

-Onion shrugs- <Fine.>

Pariah: <Fly, travel through time, win the lottery...>

Treasure Town

Every: <...What?>

Treasure Town

<Yeah, we should go looking for them or wait for them to come back.>

Treasure Town, elsewhere

Fortis introduces herself.

Treasure Town

-Marmalade instantly flies off to look for the others-

Treasure Town

Pariah: <Yeah! It'll be awesome!>

Treasure Town

-Every sighs and pets Pariah-

A Land West of Johto-B - An Archeops' Quarters

<Archeops(?): "... Who left all of this here for me?">

<??? #1: "Your highness? Is that you?">

<??? #2: "Yeah! I hear movement in there!">

-And the doors to the chamber open, revealing a recurring Aerodactyl flanked by an Armaldo and a Croconaw-

<Archeops(?): "AH! Who are you?!">

<Aerodactyl: "... We're your personal guard... I'm the captain.">

<Guard!Croconaw: "And I'm the mon that you always yell at for not being a 'real ancient'...">

<Archeops(?): "... Zoltan? Is that you? You seem... Bigger... And aren't you supposed to be with Nadia in Johto? And what's this about 'Ancients'? Has Moogle been telling you about his homeland?">

<Armaldo: "... I think he might still be under the effects of that blood loss...">

<Aerodactyl: "Why would I be in Johto? It's my duty to protect you! And the place is supposed to be unconquerable! You yourself said that!">

<Archeops(?): "... What? ... I did this?

... How long has this been going on?" ._.>

<Aerodactyl: "Since you took the throne as an Archen around 250 moons prior...">

Treasure Town

-Marmalade is looking for anyone Mezzo mentioned-

Treasure Town

-Pariah continues explaining to Every what she'd want to do if she were taller-

Xakk: -sighs in disappointment- <For a moment there I was hopeful.>

Treasure Town

-Every opens his mouth to respond, when Slam falls out of nowhere, knocking him unconscious-

-meanwhile, Marmalade is still searching. If you need to get back to the group, it can be assumed she found you and brought you back, possibly by force-

Not-Nearby Laboratory

Prolio came here to find the locations of some Pokemon that he'd like to add to his team. The Bulbasaur that runs the place has everything on everything in this universe, and it claims that there are similar labs in the other universes.

Treasure Town

Prolio's Mons attempted to help with the fire. Porygon2 went to look for survivors and Alakazam told people what they should be doing to help. Hitmonchan didn't care. They are now waiting with Mezzo and Every for Prolio to return.

Mt. Horn

Emma and her group, after turning Minax in to the Magnemite police, decided to take a few missions. They found some and came here to do them.

And thus what happened during my day away. Because nobody R Ced me.

In a Land to the West of Johto-B

<"250 moons?! As in like over 20 years ago?!">

-The sound of movement from outside can be heard-

<??? #1: "Alright you, march!">

<??? #2: "B-But we d-didn't d-do anything!">

<??? #3: "Y-Yeah! W-We got stuff chucked at us too!">

<??? #1: "Save it for the Emperor! I'm sure he's real happy about getting glass in his neck!">

<??? #3: "EEK! Eu-Eurgh...">

-And a party of four rather-visibly frightened bound mons consisting of a Rhydon, a Druddigon, a Blastoise, and a Rampardos are marched in by a Kabutops and a number of other guards-

<Guard!Kabutops: "The mons on litter duty have been brought here for you to decide their fates...">

<Litter!Blastoise: "Your highness, please! W-We had nothing to do with that!">

<Litter!Rampardos: "D-Don't h-have us f-fed to f-ferals!">

<Litter!Druddigon: "Pl-Please! I h-have a m-mate!">

<Archeops(?): ._. "... What is this about?">

<Aerodactyl: "Er... Well... Prior to yesterday... You told these mons that if they were found to be complicit with an attempt on your life that they would all be put to death... By the method that the Rampardos mentioned...">

<Archeops(?): "I... I what?">

-Shivering-

<Litter!Rhydon: "W-We were hit too, w-we were h-hit too...">

<Aerodactyl: "... If I may, your highness... You specifically said that they would be subjected to that fate if you found that they were complicit in trying to assassinate you... Given that the culprits were rebel peasants... I find it difficult to believe that they'd have had anything to do with the matter.">

<Archeops(?): "... Let them go.">

<Litter!Blastoise: "No w-wait! Pl-Plea-! ... Huh?">

<Litter!Druddigon: "... You're just letting us go?">

<Litter!Rampardos: "... Wh-What's the catch?">

<Archeops(?): "No catch, just go back to your lives after you shake off whatever injuries you got...

... I wasn't quite myself when I told you that...">

<Litter!Rhydon: "... Wait... You mean that I wet myself in the hallway for nothing?">

<All: "...">

<Litter!Rhydon: "Wh-Which I'll cl-clean up! Oh Arceus, please don't change your mind!">

<Archeops(?): "Just go...">

<Guard!Kabutops: "... I will admit that I was not expecting that, but as you wish, your majesty.">

<Litter!Druddigon: "Th-Thank you, m-my liege...">

<Litter!Blastoise: "Y-Yeah! Not d-dying's a good thing!">

-And the four hastily rush out of the room-

<"Just how have I been running this place for the last 20 years?" ._.>

Khan House, F3

-An unconscious Khan Swampert rolls down the stairs as we file down-

Muddy: <Now where's the jerk who leads these guys?>

???: -Hidden in shadow- <That would be me, you little shits.>

-The figure reveals himself to be a Machamp even more physically imposing than normal. Nearby him is Tandi in a cage-

<You think you can come here without challenge? This, the home of your deadliest enemies? We will see you dead. I will personally tear your heart out of your chest and eat it before my proud warriors!>

-A number of other Khans jeer from the sidelines-

<Sorry, but we're not easily intimidated by simple bluster.>

???: <You will be, when Garl the Death Hand is through with you.>

-Garl then closes the distance between us with startling speed, grabs me, and Seismic Tosses me into a wall-

<Oww...>

Muddy: <Tagg!>

Vault Dweller: This isn't good!

Garl: -To everyone else- <Is that all?>

Artemia: <You say you're big and strong, but you're just a big stupidhead!>

Pica: <Well that was the best taunt I've ever heard.>

Garl: -Gets distracted from attempting to pound my face in, his fist crackling with electricity as he tries to attack Artemia- <I'll make you eat those words you little-Gets tripped by a Grass Knot placed by Coulomb-Argh!>

-And then is hit and knocked into a wall hard enough to create an indent due to getting rammed by Muddy using Waterfall-

Muddy: <That was for Tagg, prick!>

Ana: -Watching- <He looks kinda angry.>

Garl: -Is indeed in a rage as he picks himself up- <   What are you idiots waiting for, kill them all!   >

-The sideline Khans then engage us as the battle turns into a melee-

Treasure Town

Forte: -is dragged over by Marmalade- <Ow!>

<Well, there's one. Now where did Fortis and the others go...?>

Treasure Town, elsewhere

Fortis makes a suggestion.

A Land West of Johto-B

<Archeops(?): "...">

<Aerodactyl: "... Is something wrong, your highness?">

<Archeops(?): "Why don't I remember any of this, Zoltan?">

<Aerodactyl: "Eh? 'Zoltan'? It's 'Csiki'!">

<Archeops(?): "What? But- And you're-">

<Aerodactyl Csiki: "Get some rest, your highness, you're still hurt...">

<Archeops(?): "... Right... I think I'll do that...">

-And goes off and curls up to sleep on the bed-

-To the Croconaw-

<Csiki: "Go off and turn in for the night, rookie.">

-And goes off out of the room, the Aerodactyl and Armaldo following more slowly-

<Guard!Armaldo: (*sniff sniff*) "... It still reeks of Rhydon here... Why are they even allowed to be things other than serfs?">

<Csiki: "Well hey, it doesn't stop the Swinub... So what do you think of what's going on?">

<Guard!Armaldo: "Of what?">

<Csiki: "The Emperor's amnesia.">

<Guard!Armaldo: "That it's something that we shouldn't run our mouths off about. It's not as if he's not already going to have assassins hovering around him while he's weak!">

<Csiki: "I know that! But what if he's stuck like this? He has to go back to ruling eventually...">

<Guard!Armaldo: "... You're the captain, and he seems to tolerate you, Csiki... Why don't you give him a crash course? Maybe it would jog his mind.">

<Csiki: "... I guess I could do that... If I could find someone to pick up the slack for me as captain when I'm doing that...">

<Guard!Armaldo: "Just give us the word, and we'll do whatever.">

<Csiki: "Stay posted, then...">

-And the two head their separate ways-

Khan House

-Within the chaos of battle-

Khan!Luxray: -Attacks Bohr with a Thunder Fang- <It's over for you, hippo-thing!>

Bohr: -Takes a fair amount of damage but retaliates with a Psychic blast, sending the Luxray into a wall with a crunch-

Coulomb: -Unleashes a Discharge on a Raticate and a species he doesn't quite recognize, sending them on the ground convulsing-

Draca: -Bats a Machoke into the air with Dragon Tail while Ana blasts it with a Psychic-

Cobalt: -Has forced several mons down with the force of a focused Gravity-

-Meanwhile, Muddy and I continue to fight Garl-

Muddy: <Tagg!>

-Throws me into Garl, my weight sending us both to the ground-

Garl: <Fucker!>

-I just skip the pleasantries and skip straight to the throttling-

<You raider piece of sh-

-Unfortunately, I sort of forgot about his other two arms, and one slugs me in the stomach, turning the tables-

Garl: -Currently strangling the life out of me- <You've bitten off far more than you can chew, salamander. Now you'll die here!>

-Spots starting to appear in my vision as I'm too pinned to even attempt to try the Orb-

<Urk!>

Muddy: -Is about to unleash a Hydro Cannon as the color starts leaving my face-

-Three shots then ring out-

Imperial Capital, Port

-a certain ship has finally returned from an ill-fated exploratory voyage-

Port Authority!Lapras: ...what did you do to this ship?! And you just left half your crew behind?! For shame...

Captain!Aggron: We were running for our lives!

Port Authority!Lapras: -sniffs- I highly doubt a village of Gummimakers could stand up to any competently-run ship with the caliber of blood we sent you off with.

Sailor!Cradily: Hey! Only by the grace of Kyogre did we get back to tell this tale...

Sailor!Axew: D-dad said it would be an easy position...

Port Authority!Lapras: You fought, what, some Cubone? They aren't that old. Your training didn't prepare you for a few little bones? The schools these days...

Medic!Meganium: -stiffly- I don't know about their training, but mine did not anticipate me needing to fashion prosthetic bones.

Port Authority!Lapras: ...prosthetic..?

Medic!Meganium: Let him see it, Captain.

Captain!Aggron: ...

-he turns, exposing a nasty wound over his right leg, clumsy stitches not hiding the fact that there is something important missing beneath...-

Port Authority!Lapras: O_O

Well- that- what am I supposed to put on this report?! This won't please the Emperor one bit... was there any good news?!

Sailor!Cradily: We didn't come away entirely emptyhanded...

Captain!Aggron: I couldn't let this insult go unaddressed!

Sailor!Axew: Oh! Yeah! We caught... her!

-a voice emerges from the cargo hold-

???: Keep telling yourself that!

Port Authority!Lapras: What's there?

Captain!Aggron: One of the tribesmons that defied us... we thought she may be a... curiosity worthy of exhibit.

-in the hold, the Lapras can now see a sturdy iron cage, hosting a young Cubone girl-

Rappelling Sapphire: So, is this your Emperor?

Sailor!Axew: Hold your tongue, feral! Or maybe we won't let you out of that cage at all!

Rappelling Sapphire: ...you are joking.

-she casually gives one of the bars a sharp knock... and it breaks off, clattering to the deck-

Port Authority!Lapras: Good heavens!

Rappelling Sapphire: Now, I was promised a chance to meet some big important guy?

-the Lapras and Aggron exchange worried looks-

Port Authority!Lapras: They're going to have both our heads for this.

Captain!Aggron: Err... yes, sit tight, you'll get to see him! But only because we were going to show you to him anyways! Anymon good with tranquilizers?

- Is asleep -

Treasure Town

-Every is actually awake, though as Slam is sitting on him it doesn't really matter-

-Marmalade is still searching for Katie, Wolf, or Fortis-

Gonna be out for most of today.
