ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Mezzo: Tagg caught it. Which is honestly fine by me, I could happily go my whole life without seeing her again. Now will you bother him instead of me?

Route 14

PEFE!Every: Hmm, alright.

Wherever Tagg Is

PEFE!Every: You have a Nihilego?

-Shaun shakes Mason's hand.-

Shaun: "Shaun Sapphire. The Empoleon's Tsunami. A pleasure to meet you."

-Jessica grins at Alyesha.-

Jessica: <I already like you.>

Tsunami: <She's enjoying herself.>

Ace: <Good. That's the whole point of this, after all.>

-Matvey's climbing doesn't really bother Celena. After all, her body's made of metal.-

Celena: {Here we go!}

-She begins to hover higher.-

Tapu Village

Mason: The pleasure's all mine.

-He lets go, and smiles-

Mason: Now, there's one other person I met a couple days ago who also said they would help look, so let's see if we can find him before we set out.

Tapu Village

-Gabe is suddenly right behind Mason-

Gabe: You rang? :3c

-A Whimsicott is now by his side-

Shaun: "What's he look like?"

-He looks at Gabe.-

Shaun: "Nevermind."

Tapu Village

-Mason and Mako both nearly jump out of their skin when Gabe appears.-

Mason: GAH! Darkrai's name, where did you come from?!

Mako: <What is it with fairies and doing that?!>

-Mason takes a breath, which doesn't do anything to help the adrenaline spike.-

Mason: Anyway, Shaun, he looks like that. This is Gabe. Gabe, Shaun.

Shaun: "Hi."

Tapu Village

Gabe: Hi! I'm Gabe the Fairy Goth, goth of the fairies!

Whimsicott: <DRAGONS QUIVER BEFORE HIM>

Gabe: -to a passing Kommo-o- Fuck off!

-To Mason and Shaun with his normal deneanor-

Anyway my Whimsicott's Cotton! She'll be good for sneaking in the ruins, she likes stealth!

 Ancient Poni Path 

-Suddenly PEFE!Every-

They technically belong to the whole J-Team since they're in protective custody, but I am holding the ball, yes.

-Shaun and Tsunami stare inquisitively.-

Shaun: "Cool."

Ancient Poni Path

PEFE!Every: May I meet them? Them? Mezzo used "she", but also used "it", which seems to me to indicate less of a self-identified gender on the part of Nihilego, and more of a projection as a result of side effects and/or aftereffects of the neurotoxin.

Tapu Village

-Gabe earns another dumbfounded stare from Mason.-

Mako: <Well, I don't like you anymore, I can say that much.>

Mason: ...Right then, to the ruins. I, uh, don't know if stealth will be necessary, but if it is, I've got us covered. So, to the desert?

Shaun: "To the desert."

-To PEFE!Every-

Well, normally I'd say no since we're not in the Stormchaser to avoid any... incidents, but Exgal's been on their best behavior since I've caught them and made that deal with them so there's no need for the containment unit.

-Pulls out their Beast Ball and releases the Nihilego. PEFE!Every may notice there's another Beast Ball adorning my belt-

Ancient Poni Path

-PEFE!Every stares at Exgal-

PEFE!Every: Oh, look at you, you beautiful creature...

-she stares under its hat-

Scuttle: <Maybe don't get so close to something that can take over your brain.>

PEFE!Every: I'm not worried...

-she takes notice of the second Beast Ball-

PEFE!Every: You have another ball like the one you sealed the Nihilego in. Do you have a second Ultra Beast with you? I can only assume there are multiple types, as a Nihilego doesn't really seem capable of removing anybody's arm.

Aether Paradise

"Meh," Colton shrugged. "No harm really done, I suppose." He whipped out his ride pager and was soon on his way back to Poni Wilds.

Pokeworld Studios B1

Colton shrugged and returned 9-Volt. He returned to the door that Rei tried to pick earlier, deciding to camp out there for now.

Aether Paradise

-Ammy is about to apologize but Colton leaves. She blinks, shrugs, and flies off herself-

Tapu Village

Gabe: -pets Mako, then fistbumps- To the desert!

Cotton: <THE DESERT>

Tapu Village

Mako: <Don't touch me please.>

Haina Desert

-After a bunch of preparation, including getting a backpack full of cold Fresh Water bottles and a couple of pairs of safety goggles, Mason and co. have arrived in THE DESERT. Wind is blowing the sand around enough to make it hard to see, but not enough to be considered a sandstorm.-

Mason: Well, this shouldn't be too bad, I guess.

 Ancient Poni Path 

-To PEFE!Every-

Yeah, this one probably contrasts the most with a Kartana in terms of size.

-Looks from side to side, does mental math on the height of the ruin walls surrounding them, and then lets out Arundi-

Arundi: -Looks down at PEFE!Every- {...}

THE DESERT

Gabe: Tapu Bulu's temple is at the end of this, right?

Ancient Poni Path

PEFE!Every: Holy—

-she backs up about twenty feet, and Scuttle moves in between her and the Celesteela-

PEFE!Every: Wait, Scuttle, don't antagonize it.

-he seems skeptical, but moves out of the way as instructed. PEFE!Every approaches Arundi slowly-

PEFE!Every: Hello. Can you understand me?

 Ancient Poni Path 

Arundi: -Looks from me, to PEFE!Every, then back to me before I give a thumbs up- {Yes, kinda.>

Muddy: <We haven't actually gotten around to telling most of the others that Arundi has joined us yet.>

Ancient Poni Wilds

PEFE!Every: Fascinating...so, do you produce the same neurotoxins as a Nihilego? Do you adhere to human laws of physics? How do you sustain yourself? Does your species have a hierarchy? Are you a species, or is comparing you and Nihilego like comparing Umbreon to Sylveon? Is there more than one of you? Do you exhibit differing phenotypes? Can you—

-she'll likely keep going if not stopped-

Shaun: "Yep. I brought my atlas this time. I'm not wandering for three hours again."
