Sergey’s Party

Sergey: "Sorry for the tumult, I'm currently celebrating my birthday with my team here"

He blushed a bit embarrassed

Sergey: "I know it sounds kinda strange but... if you want you can party with us - and your team as well, they seem eager to~"

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Sergey’s Party

“Why not?” Gail allowed, throwing up another Pokéball. Jamie the Swellow materialized and descended, standing next to Sierra.

“So what’s with the dress?”

Sergey's Party

Sergey gave a light smile and waved Gail and his team to the party, blushing at the question

Sergey: "W-Well, my other clothes are umm..." -short look to Aicha- "Currently not available and well... my friend gave me that and well err... yeah"

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Sergey’s Party

“Your only clean clothes?” Gail summarized. “Yeah I get it.”

Her three birds are available for interaction, even if her Talonflame and Togekiss seem particularly close.

Sergey's Party

Sergey: "Eheh, well, Aicha seems to like to make sure I get to wear Phaz' dress"

Meanwhile Loran, Sergey's Rogenrolla along with Sylvaine, Sergey's Fomantis ran over to Gail's team

Loran: <Hiya there, friends~!>

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

The employees don't notice Blitz as Mew and just set about handing everyone clothing, with everyone ready they got on the bus and it set off.

Silas leaned back in his seat, Bishop sitting next to him, staring out the window, "Captain, this world... it's-"

Silas grinned, "It's no Foxeria, but honestly I prefer the city planet Falconan."

Out the window many would see large ships descending from the Atmosphere and entering mooring docks, as well as several flying vehicles.

Sergey's Party

"Who and who?" Gail asked, scratching her temple with a single finger.

<Hi,> Sierra said, the Talonflame looking at the Roggenrola inquisitively.

Jamie and Pandora silently waved to both of them.

Falconan Tour

Julius, Roy and Mae all reacted with subdued awe, no visible reaction but still impressed, while Helmsman, Sunny and Mae couldn't help but whistle.

Warner sat beside Sylveon, neither of them paying much attention.

Colton's tail wagged in wonderment. A spaceport, he thought to himself, snapping a pic with his phone.

Sergey's Party

Sergey: "Aicha is my - rather prankloving - Mawile over there, and Phaz as said is my boyfriend"

Loran: <Wanna' play, friends~?>

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Sergey’s Party

“Oh,” Gail said simply, eyeing the snacks. “How do you know it’s your Mawile to blame?”

<Play what?> Sierra asked. Jamie and Pandora remained silent.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Sergey's Party

Sergey: "Well, let's just say she loves to do things like this"

He smiled lightly

Sergey: "It's just Aicha's way of showing me that she likes me, trust me"

Loran: <Maybe catch~?>

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Sergey’s Party

“I suppose there could be those sorts of methods. ‘Specially since it’s a Fairy we’re talking about,” Gail considered.

<Sure,> Sierra allowed, finding a pebble on the ground. <Unless anyone has an actual ball?> She asked as she threw it up and down via her wing.

Sergey's Party

Sergey: "Also putting Touga berries in drinks, that was an... experience"

Loran: <I meant catching like running~ But alrighty~>

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Sergey’s Party

“Wha.”

<That actually sounds more fun, if a little unbalanced,> Jamie observed, summoning a Tailwind to prove his point.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Sergey's Party

Sergey: "Heh, as said, she likes to prank people"

Loran chirped happily as he heard that, quickly tapping Sylvaine with the protusion on his 'head' before running away with a happy giggle

Loran: <You're it~!>

Sylvaine gave a playful sigh at that, looking over to Jamie

Sylvaine: <Don't worry about it, he'll have his fun even if it's a bit unbalanced>

With that, she quickly ran towards Jamie with a slight grin

Sylvaine: <And so will I~!>

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Sergey’s Party

Jamie let himself get tapped before he started flying after Lorie, making certain to only fly just a bit faster than his quarry could run.

“Just... that’s disconcerting. The knowledge that there are some Pokémon that would do something so potentially scarring,” Gail eventually said.

Falconan Bus

-While it was not really necessary to do so, /Duck/ had taken a seat and was watching the city go by-

Camphrier Town

-Pent watches Kai go silently for a moment before wandering off somewhere to work on his own projects-

-Kai was right, he needed to just ignore the suffering for now...-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Sergey's Party

Both Loran and Sylvaine ran away the moment Jamie was tapped, Loran chirping happily while Sylvaine simply silently grinned, seemingly sure to not be catched

Sergey: "Heh, don't worry about that, it sounds much worse than it is"

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Sergey’s Party

“That explains how you’d bring it up so easily,” Gail realized.

Jamie continue to chase Loran down.

Sergey's Party

Sergey: "Heh, yep, partly"

Sergey blushed as he realised something

Sergey: "Ah, sorry, would you maybe want to have some cake?"

Loran meanwhile was running about as fast as he could - him having no real legs meaning not exactly being fast, even less so as he stumbled, allowing Jamie to easily catch up

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Falconan Tour

Stark: "...There's a lot of tasty looking machines out there"

Blitz: "Just don't go trying to snack on any of them without permission"

-The Greninja boy chuckles and resumes staring out the window-

"But seriously, this place looks like some sorta sci-fi movie..."

Sergey's Party

"Yeah, thanks," Gail allowed. "I could go for some cake."

<Cake?> Jamie and Sierra chorused before either of them could tag one of Sergey's Pokemon. Pandora also demonstrated an interest, if her elated expression were any indication.

Asimov Lagoon, November 1

A young adult man clad in a thick hoodie with the Geographic Society logo approaches Reynard and Primo. He is holding two cups of coffee.

Shutter: Hey gramps. You're up early.

Reynard: Shutterbug.

Shutter sits down besides his grandfather, who tosses one more handful of frangipani petals into the lagoon.

Reynard: I'm glad you came.

Shutter: You weren't talking to a bunch of fae again, were you?

Reynard: Heck no.

Shutter: Primo?

Primo: <Nope. Not this time.>

After handing his grandfather a cup, Shutter grabs a few petals himself and tosses them into the lagoon.

Reynard: You know, when I first started dating your grandma, a lot of people didn't take to it all that well. Mama eventually accepted her. My old boss, the Kalosian, never did. She went positively ballistic. Wonder where that old racist ended up in. You sure she didn't end up in the bad place?

Primo: <Last I heard she's haunting some other locale. But yeah. She was *the worst*.>

Reynard: We moved on from that crummy job and I landed a gig at the chocolate factory not far from her place. Your maternal great grandparents loved me. And what can I say, your grandma had great taste.

Shutter: Really now?

Reynard: I may have lost a job with one of the greatest engineers of my generation, but your grandma was way more important to me than some crummy old job under a racist. I would've traded the world to be with her. And look what I got instead. Sixty happy, blissful years of marriage—

Shutter: ...to the biggest idiot in Alto Mare.

Reynard: That was her joke.

Shutter I learned from the best.

Reynard smelled the air. It was the unmistakable aroma of mocaccino.

Reynard: Your grandmother was never really a fan of chocolate, but she did love to mix it with her coffee from time to time. You get that preference from her. We had our first date in a coffee house. She wouldn't have chocolate in any other form, but mocaccinos were always her favorite. I didn't know why I invited an Orange Islands journalist to coffee one day—well, maybe there's the obvious—but one thing led to another and we became an item.

Shutter: TMI grandpa. TMI.

Together, the two toss one more handful of petals.

Reynard: Your grandmother was a wonderful woman, Gavin.

Shutter: I miss her, too.

They stare at the sunrise, though fortunately not directly at the sun. Primo decided to hide behind their shadows.

Falconan

-Ace stares out the window wordlessly.-

Tsunami: "Please do not break my husband."

-She furrows her brows.-

Shaun: "Weird moving a beak and hearing [English] come out, huh?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Asimov Party, Daydre

Brynhilde: "... Do, it's difficult, having someone wanting to kill you."

Foxverse Tour

Artoira: "Definitely something out of a science fiction movie."

Mordred: "I wonder how much more advanced this place is compared to back home."

Artoria: "Quite, it would seem."

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Silas laughed a bit at Shaun's comment, "Trust me I don't even think we're speaking English, from what I can tell humans and pokemon never split in the Foxverse, I think we're speaking some sort of universal language they have."

Gio shrugged, "I wouldn't be able to say, by the way how would your friends feel about being merchandised?"

"Well some of them are J-Team so you'll be covering them in the anime eventually right?"

Gio smiled, "True enough. Season 3 just came out a little while ago and is already a smash hit. We've got a Season bomb coming up of the next 3 before a brief hiatus."

Silas frowned, "Hope you're not overworking your animation team."

Gio waved it off, "I'm not, I checked out how you guys do animation and it's so primitive and slow."

Silas sighed, "Figures the technologically advanced space faring civilization would have that... speaking of Space Faring, how's my ship?"

Drakos smiled, "Look out the window."

Silas did and saw the Cobalt chaser landing at the spaceport, but it was larger than the last time he saw it and had a blue and silver colour scheme going on, it even seemed different, "My ship!"

"Improved, presenting the Cobalt Chaser-β Captain, we're even giving it a proper crew compliment since the Cobalt Stars have been busy."

"Wait what?"

Drakos nodded, "Yes your mercenary company has been busy without you, general aide work and all but Case Rain took over for a short bit before we could count it as autonomous."

"Why?"

"Mercenary Guild rules state that you must have a year of service to be considered properly autonomous or else your company will be shut down. Since you were gone someone needed to keep it running, though now that it can run on its own, you're safe and you get to keep the ship, Congratulations Captain."

Silas felt a little sick to his stomach, nervousness at the thought of appearing before a bunch of fresh faces and giving them the honest truth of where he had-

"You'll be fine Captain, I doubt the fact that we're from another universe is much of a secret."

Drakos stroked his moustache a bit, "Yes... Gio had to go and spoil."

"The good news is it tripled sales and got a whole new fan community started!" Gio responded grinning, before pulling up a picture of some fanart of a rather bishonen looking Lucario Silas, and then one of his human half.

Silas grumbled and frowned, "Really? REALLY?"

"This was among the safer of the pictures."

"OH ARCEUS!"
