-As we reach the largest of the flexing trees-
You never know when something like that might come in handy. Also... I've done stuff only with you, and stuff only with Sol, but we haven't done anything together yet, so I don't know, I wanted to try changing that.

What do you mean "getting in-between" us? I don't see that happening, at least not in the "wedge" sense of the term.

-Notices that there seems to be some sort of red glob riding the volcano's blast wave, which turns out to be three Buzzwole-
Ah crap.
Buzzwole: -Land and pose in unison with the volcano to their backs- {Now, we battle!}

-Two of the Buzzwole take the Heat Wave by getting in front of the last and crossing their arms, who then uses Bulk Up before throwing a rock at Lo-
Pici: -Fires a Beak Blast, which then manages to hit the one of the Buzzwole in front, but it endures it otherwise-
Ugh, annoying.

To: Jocelyn Joy
From: Jean Martel
I have arrived at Unova. I will be in my hotel in Castelia City momentarily.
Castelia City Streets
A Kalosian man in bright winter activewear walks down the street, his head low on the ground and his expression almost stoic, as if deep in thought. He pays just enough attention to narrowly avoid the other pedestrians. He makes his way to a Starmiebucks, where he meets the warm and friendly face of a young man in a thick down jacket.
Tommy: Jean!
Jean: Thomas. A pleasure to see you again.
Tommy: You know, if you wanted to meet up somewhere with good coffee, there's like a few spots I know.
Jean: This seemed the most familiar. Couldn't care less about their coffee.
The two go on their way.
Tommy: Okay, how bad is it?
Jean: To put it bluntly, very. Clavis Sciences has a controlling stake in our company, something it shares with Vulpix. Madame Aphrodite has been aware of this, but she was in no position to hold a crackdown since the Mobius attack on Lumiose. Have the Board of Directors said anything?
Tommy: No. They've been silent for the most part. Really good at it, too. Usually, there'd be a leak about now, but so far all we've had is that report and the official statement and next to nothing about the agenda of the talks and press conference.
Jean: I personally oversaw its translation. Anything else? What did Hank say?
Tommy: Same old. Same old. He did drop everything else he obsessed over for this, which is saying something.
Jean: I see. The board of trustees wouldn't have called the senior editors in if it wasn't serious. Are we expecting any more editors to arrive?
Tommy: The Angelan senior editor board representative will arrive in a few hours; everyone else is here. The meeting starts at 10 AM tomorrow.

-Lo's Brave Bird combined with Pici's second Beak Blast manages to get the burned Buzzwole to its last legs-
Well, if the reports about their strengths and weaknesses were correct, in particular their weakness to energy-based attacks...
-Does a Z-Move dance in unison with Hitodama that's reminiscent of a roaring flame-
Hitodama: -Unleashes a massive fireball that envelops all three Buzzwole-
Did it work?
Buzzwole Trio: -Come out of the smoke, and make one final dramatic pose with their auras flaring-
-An Ultra Wormhole forms as a result-
Buzzwole Trio: @_@
-Collapse in unison-

-To Channah, while entering the Wormhole-
I think it has a bit more to do with the auras than the posing itself.

Various Heads of Clavis companies
-All receive an alert that there will be an emergency meeting of all the current heads on Saturday.-

-Upon exiting the Ultra Wormhole, we find ourselves on top of a blueish mesa, the sky in a permanent thunderstorm. The ground has arcs of electricity run across it, as Xurkitree, some regular sized, others the size of the mesa or even larger in the background-
Wow... Didn't think Xurkitree even got that big, and they're pretty large already.
Muddy: <Maybe we shouldn't stay here too long if we can help it.>

-To Channah-
It's less to do with them, and more the fact that lightning's coming down every couple seconds.
-As if to punctuate my point, a lightning bolt lands a little too close for comfort nearby-
Muddy: <Yeah, Tagg and I might have less problems with that, him if he puts on the Armband, but most of us don't have such defenses.>
-Dryly-
I'm the tallest being out right now so if anything besides these Xurkitree get struck by lightning, it'll likely be me.
-Walking forward-
Let's just see if we can find some sort of shelter.
Ultra Jungle
-The first Mobius Grunt met during the base infiltration is currently talking on a communication-
Mobius (?) Grunt: Yeah, I saw them, he really does look a lot like you.
...
Mobius (?) Grunt: They fought the Buzzwole and then disappeared through another Ultra Wormhole.
...
Mobius (?) Grunt: So you guys are gonna try picking them up?
...
Mobius (?) Grunt: Hopefully we can get them before Mobius, or worse, does. Now let me get out of here.
-They hold an object to the sky and reality seems to rip open before closing behind them.
