-Channah and her mons are talking to - or rather, being talked to by - an energetic young Swellow wearing a black and white neckerchief-
Male Swellow: <And then like we went to this like gnarly dark cave in Blackthorn City and got to like battle some Dragon Tamers! This one, like, Druddigon bro? Kicked - my - ass so hard, you shoulda seen it, Auntie Channah! Dude, dragons are so much fun to fight against! They have all these like bitchin moves with swirly anime effects - >
Titus: <Este es el hijo de Lo, alright.>
Dolabella: <Okay, if nobody's gonna tell me who the babydaddy was, I'm gonna just go with "ADHD Swoobat".>
Channah: -reaches a hand out, causing the Swellow to stop and automatically duck his head for preening- Sounds like you had fun. Did uh, Garrett treat you okay, Marrakesh?
Marrakesh the male Swellow: <Yeah! Well, I spent more time with like his Wobbuffet, and some of his bros. Mons. Monbros. It's rad to like see you guys like, again, though. Especially mom!>

Channah: Um, well. She didn't wanna be a mother. Her own mom kicked her out of the nest too early - that's how I met her - and I always assumed she wasn't happy about that.

off the shitsRemote Macraul Chateau, Kalos, Present
A somewhat disheveled Lowell is overseeing the crating and transfer of a large statue of an elegantly dressed couple in the middle of a passionate dance. Workmen are carefully loading a life-sized statue, which had the feel and apparent density of white marble
Lowell: Now, now, pick up the pace. You needn't be too careful. The statue can definitely take some abuse. I made sure of it.
Workman: Yes, Monsieur Macraul.
Helena arrives.
Lowell: Cherié, you look ravishing as always.
Helena: Darling, why aren't you dressed yet?
Lowell: Now, now my dear, we can afford to be fashionably late. This statue just needs to be shipped. The Pidgeot Transport—
Workmen: Pidgeot Express, sir. We rebranded.
Lowell: I know. I know. They sent the memo to the other shareholders and I one fateful day and I expressed my concerns as to what imbecile would think rebranding would be necessary. But I appreciate the concern and respect for brand consistency. You may fill the crate full of packaging material. It will prevent damage to the crate interior and keep the statue from falling over and destroying anything.
Workmen: Yes sir.
The workmen proceed to fill the crate with packing peanuts.
Lowell: Aren't we a bit too excited to see my old home. Honestly, it's nothing I miss much. It's a pity that a few of my dear kinsmen might not be there. Ludovic couldn't come for pressing reasons that I can't quite recall at the moment. And Arceus knows what Paul is doing in his coop of fowl.
Helena: And your parents thought our marriage was peculiar.
Lowell: True enough, mamán did prefer me to marry some stuffy aristocrat. But not a single one of them inspired me more than you have done in the seconds I first laid eyes on you.
Helena: You flatter me husband.
Lowell: Yes, I admit there's that awkwardness of our announcement of marriage and mamán wouldn't walk to me for months. Still, it'd be nice to reconnect with the family and see the wonders of our ancestral home. My statue of that illustrious [Gaulish] ancestor from the [Roman] era shall be the centerpiece of our clan's grand dinner.
Once the statue was secure in the crate, the workmen called on their machamp to help carry the statue to their truck. Lowell bid them thanks and signed their papers, then proceeded to accompany Helena back to the chateau.
Lowell: And now, to prepare. Marius! Guinevere!
A rotom manifests in a monitor across the room and a porygon fades in near the couple.
Lowell: Marius, prepare my baths to the desired temperature. Guinevere, give me a full selection of my most recent suits. I'll need a selection of formal and semiformal garments good for the duration of the reunion.
Guinevere, via speech device: Madame Helena and I had taken the liberty to prepare a set for you. All of which are new.
Helena hands him a tablet.
Lowell: Good job Guinevere. Darling, you really know me.
Helena: One does try their best to anticipate.
Lowell reaches into his pockets and reveals a beautiful heart-cut blue diamond. Helena lights up and realizes what she was looking at.
Lowell: After so long, the Heart of the Sea is once again where it belongs. To a Macraul. It belonged to my ancestors before it was stolen by some strumpet. Fell into the sea. It was recovered, put to auction. And then I bought them out with chump change. And now it belongs to you.
Helena: And the one in the museum?
Lowell: A detailed reproduction made of worthless colored glass. I wouldn't dream of entrusting this with anyone but a family member, and with that rash of thefts going on—fuck no.

Silas shrugs, "Well, since we're here. Let's take those bold first steps forward."
He turned to his team and waved goodbye, as he and Bishop lead the march through the portal, and into the other world.
Silas stepped out the other side and shivered, "Okay still got that weird feeling when you enter it."
He look over himself and noticed that once again, he was a anthropomorphic Lucario, "And tail is back, that's always weird."
Bishop stepped out behind Silas and tilted his frame's head, "Why do you find tails weird captain?"
"Just do."
Footsteps, out stepped Gio and Drakos, Gio with his trademark business grin, more of a cheshire grin at this point, "Welcome back to the Foxverse, quite the party you got with you."
Drakos smiled, "Quite a bit to get done before we head to the award ceremony."
Harold and Stylus could only stare at the scene before them and were starting to wonder, "What is up with this place??'
Falconan Portal Site
Star steps through the portal and is subsequently anthropomorphized. She's naked again.
Though this time she's holding the laser claws, which she was presumably carrying on her person before.

Cliff: "Well, guess it's time to get used to not being giant anymore."

Jean, surprisingly still sober: Someone has been abstaining. Jocelyn quickly became "gal-pals" with Hawthorn's and Harvey's daughters. Speaking of interviews, Ivan, I'll need some assistance talking to the big winner of tonight's costume contest. I've a feeling that you might want to participate in this interview.
