Trans Terminus Homo
Somewhere
It was quiet in the forest - too quiet, as if even the Pidgeot knew of the ccoming storm. The company had made their encampment in a small clearing, not perfect, that was obvious, everyone would have preferred a larger clearing or open grass, to see any approaching danger and be able to react to it, but in this jungle? An ambush could come at any time with no one noticing until it was to late!
Yet, at least entrchning was an option, aruond the whole encampment was a trench, followed by a low wall of earth with some additional fortifications on top. And in the main bunker, our company had hurled close together, each hoping they would get out of this jungle alive.
Outside, the single lookout shortly lifted his helm to scratch his head; Why? Why did they have to go through this hellish jungle? When would the next ambush come? Who would get out of this alive? Those were the questions that ran through our lookout's head as he peered into the dense foliage, as if trying to see through them, as if to trying to see the lurking danger behind them.
And his fears were justified, their day had been hard, from the earliest hour on they had been on the run from their unseen enemy, only now coming to rest after marching throughout the whole day. Yet, the day wasn't over, and they all knew that. Again, the lookout peered into the night, wearily continuing his patrol around the camp, his steps echoing hard in the absolute silence of the night.
Yet, unbeknownst to him, a small shadowlike creature was lurking close by, awaiting her time. Then, as the lookout passed her, with a single swift and fluid motion, the shadow raised her weapon, lining up her shot. As she had him in her sights a small smile crept its way onto her face, he would be the first victim of her tonight.
Silently, she pressed the trigger - and a loud bang shattered the silence of the night. Sergey - completely drenched by the water-bomb that hit the back of his head - fell to the ground face first with a surprised yelp as Aicha ran over him, intend on getting into the bunker that held the rest of his team.
Sergey: "AMBUUUUSH!"
Inside, Mireille and Magnus got ready, they knew Aicha was on the hunt, as she was every 1st of April. This day was her day, and everymon knew that. Laughing and screaming she ran into the pillow bunker, her water-bomb thrower already raised.
Aicha: <Hihi, kneel before the Mistress of Mischief~!>
Magnus: <We will never surrender, and you know that!>
Aicha: <Oh, I hoped you would say that~>
With that, Magnuswas thrown backwards by a waterbomb that exploded in his face, drenching him just as Sergey before him. Mireille meanwhile already had used Protect, with the waterbomb exploding harmlessly in front of her. Meanwhile, Mistral was curled up in a corner with Loran and Sylvaine, as always spared from Aicha's pranks.
Aicha meanwhile raised her waterbomb thrower again, with Mireille now making a run for it, bombs flying all around her as she darted out the bunker on the other end. Sergey meanwhile was slowly getting in to check up on his team, only to be thrown outside by another waterbomb exploding in his face the moment he went through the entrance.
Aicha meanwhile wassprinting after Mireille with a happy laugh, intend on getting her as well.

Halsei hears all the noise and looks up, tapping Asterios's shoulder.
Asterios: "Hm?"
Halsei: <Look up... I think something's happening.>
He also looks up, and they both notice the flying car getting shot down, at which point Asterios starts bolting off in the general direction to follow it, keeping hold of Halsei in the process.
They both arrive at the scene of the crash. Halsei just seems... confused, while Asterios is trying to assess what's happened.
Halsei: <So... what happened here, I wonder?>
Asterios remains silent for the time being.
Eterna City - Team Galactic Eterna Building
- DS enters the building, encountering a Grunt. But wait, it's...! -
Disguised Looker: Hey! This is my hahaha! I'm surprised by you, right? After all, I am a foreigner. Indeed, I have become a major part of the change.
- Looker removes his disguise, even though there are Galactic Grunts nearby who should be able to see him do so -
Looker: ... By the way, you are a great coach. I am very awake among them. I think it doesn't matter, but you still have to warn them to pay attention. Also requested. This building has two staircases. One of them should be there. I must say, however, that the liar of the galaxy is not intelligent. There must be a simple way to differentiate the scales.
- Looker puts his disguise back on. None of the Galactic Grunts have reacted to this. Good thing they're not that smart, huh? -
- Well, it's getting late, so let's just fast-forward a bit... and... there! -
Bike Shop Manager: (standing before Jupiter) What is the galaxy of this team? Why do you want to bring our Pokémon? What goal would you like to achieve?
- DS casually walks by and grabs an Up-Grade to the side, before approaching Jupiter -
Jupiter: What you want? I heard you say how much you want to release the Pokémon. This is a good thing, I, Jupiter, have something to do with you.
- And you know the drill. -
...
...
Jupiter: (after being defeated) Losing children ... Ignoring me makes me pay a lot of money.
DS: (thinking) Whew... That was rough...
Jupiter: Okay, aren't you hard? Unfortunately, the picture of Pokémon was completely overlooked. Mars has turned on the Wind Wind wind. It's almost the end. Let's talk a little bit. (leans in closer) Our master liked the history of ancient Antichrist.
DS: ?!
Jupiter: With the power of the blog Archive to become a leader of Sinnoh ... Don't get involved in future Galaxy events. This is your last post!
- And then Jupiter fled -
Bike Shop Manager: (walks up to DS) I took my Clefairy, thanks! But this Galaxy Team ... They said: "Cleanliness comes from space." His logic always confuses me. They come from space! However, they are gone. Blessed! I can not praise you now, but please go to my bicycle.
- After the bike shop manager leaves, DS heads outside. She stops by the Pokémon Center to heal her Pokémon, then heads for the bike shop -
Cynthia: (stops DS on her way to the bike shop) Oh, here I am! I am looking for you, what do I like? Please take this Pokémon fish crop. Are you sure?
DS: ... (nods)
- DS receives a Togepi egg from Cynthia -
Cynthia: That is great! Even the Pokemon is very happy in the bud. I am very confident! Bring this egg with you to your Pokémon party. The Pokémon was born from there during the journey. I am excited to note that this helps the debtors of the Pokédex footprint. Alone!
- Cynthia walks away, while DS heads into the bike shop to pick up her bike -
Bike Shop Manager: Thanks for your help! This is thanks! This is the last long girdle! Sure, road, I'm crazy!
- DS is given the bicycle -
Bike Shop Manager: I read the manual as a new feature. (reads the manual for the bike) "Press B to go up". The three speeds are not fast, but it is easy to control. The four-speed speed makes maneuvering and stopping more difficult, but faster. Really!
- And so, after leaving the bike shop, and doing a few other things, DS sets out to continue her adventure... -
- ... but as Jupiter said, this is the last post, for now at least. And so, this is where the Google Translated adventures of DS ends. Sorry about that rushed ending -
- Wait... It's over? But there's still some left over material we didn't show! Also, there's so many unresolved plot points! Like, did Barry's mother ever find her mini-bus? What about the other two members of DS' team? And what is Team Galactic plotting Don't tell me we have to wait until next year before we get the next part of the story! -
- Hope you all enjoyed this confusing tale! Good night, everybody! -

With Xatu having teleported the plush duplicates everyone inexplicably found on April Fools' Day so Colton would be none the wiser, everyone was presented and accounted for, save for Colton and Helmsman given... certain events.
"Okay, why did you bring me home?"
"Okay," Ammy started, having turned human and inexplicably wearing a doctor's scrubs. "You can at least recognize that this is home. But that's probably because this place is a constant between both of your fusees. You no doubt can also recognize me, again since I am a constant for both of you.
"We need to come up with something that only one of you has any experience with, in the hopes it will cause a fatal error and crash - read, you'll break back into two in the ensuing breakdown. Xatu, Roy, any ideas?"
Roy scratched his chin with a finger, visibly thinking.
He had to raise both hands to his face when a flash of light appeared and Colton and Helmsman appeared on the bed, in their own skin.
"Oh my goodness is that what you think of me?" Colton asked, staring at Helmsman like he just got verbally undressed.
<I was gonna say the same!> Helmsman interjected. <Arceus' unholy flank, grow a backbone! Take up a hobby! Do something to get that prominence you desire!

Said figure would see a Gardevoir dashing past her, shortly follwoed by a barrage of water bombs that would may or may not hit her. Following those waterbombs was a Mawile in obvious pursuit of the Gardevoir, holding a waterbomb thrower.
Shortly off in the distance she could see what could only be described as a pillow fort where both Pokémon seemingly originated from.

Armando: <Wow, not a single quip strutting your intelligence? Who are you and what have you done with Ophidia? *To Reshiram* Your shake is coming along excellently, your greatness. *To Cortez* Open your eyes and help me pour the milk! Your appendages can do that much, no?>
Cortez, eyes closed: <Yea, but I don't trust Ophidia!>
Armando: <Well I can't pour it! Reshiram's getting thirsty!>
Cortez: <Fine! But make it quick!>
Cortez quickly poured the milk. He attempted to pour the ice cream, but it was harder than rock due to the cold. He tried to hold it over Armando, but it slipped through his appendages, crushing Armando under the ice cream carton. He quickly removed it. Armando's flame was dimmer.
Cortez: <No! Are you ok?>
Armando: <Don't... worry about me! Hurry up and pour!>
Cortez: <But it's rock solid!>
Armando: <... *uses ember*>
Cortez, still holding the carton: <OW! Ow ow ow ow!>
Armando: <Pour it in!>
He did so.
Armando: <... That gives me an idea. Crush the Rawst berries and put them in.>
Cortez did so.
Armando: <Now we need to shake it... a lot... Cortez, can you grab it?>
Cortez, eyes now closed: <Sure! But shaking's off the menu. It'll fly right out of my thingies.>
Armando: <You're WORTHLESS*notices Reshiram* Almost to completion, my thirsty fellow! We need a rope or string or something so we can tie it to Cortez's tail. Then he can flail it about. Or, even better, Jackson! Shake this for me!>
Silversmith, to Eris: "Well, *swallows* I'm not a usual patron here, so I don't know the selection well, but they do supply... transformation trinkets. Scarves. Turn you into pokemon. Please don't ask me to demonstrate."

He immediately grabbed a vine and burned it till it snapped, utilizing ghostly wax to prevent any unfortunate accidents.

After many failed attempts at creating a stable knot, Cortez succeeded and wagged his tail like there was no tomorrow.

Mordred points at Demon Archer. "A chibi version of her fused with a tank shot our flying car down."
Artoria: "When you put it that way, it sounds completely insane."

Inside the bunker she'd find a completely drenched man in what can only be described as a mixxture between a GI uniform (complete with a "helmet made out of a pillow) and a pajama drying off an equally drenched Gallade lying on the ground as a Tropius lied in a corner, playing with a Gogenrolla and a Fomantis peacefully.
Sergey: "Don't you leave me here now, we'll get out of this! We'll survive this night, you hear me?!"
The Gallade on the ground merely grinned lightly
Magnus: <Easy... for you... to say. It's too late... she pranked me hard...>
It was about then that they registered the figure coming in, looking at eachother, then at the figure (not failing to notice whow drenched she was), then back at eachother.

Outside Vermillion City, Airspace
Artoria's newly-flying car is suffering what amounts to anti-aircraft fire from strangely tank-like Nobbus
.
Artoria: "Who in Arceus' name gave then anti-aircraft capabilities!?
Demon Archer and Sakura Saber look at each other awkwardly.
Caster "Find a place to land. Who did it is inconsequential, only that it has happened."
There's an explosion, and the car shakes.
Mordred: "Uh, Artoria, we've lost an engine."
Artoria; "I can land it."
There's another explosion.
Mordred: "And we've lost the other engine."
Artoria: "I can land it."
Mordred: "Oh we're all going to die."
Demon Archer: "... I guess it can't be helped."
Artoria, true to her word, manages to land the car... sort of.
Nobody's seriously injured, but the car won't fly - or drive - ever again.
Mordred overdramatically collapses to her knees. "Nooooo! We will avenge you, car. You truly were the best of us."
Artoria: "It's a car. Let's go."
Mordred stands up. "I'll miss you car."
One of the Nobu Tanks rounds the corner.
Demon Archer: "Haha! The enemy comes to us!"
She fires a shot at it and it... plinks off.
Demon Archer: "... Well, the armor is to strong. Can't be helped. Take cover!"
Everyone dives into nearby cover as the Nobu Tank opens up with its gatling guns.
Artoria: "Have you tried not shooting it in the tank part?"
Demon Archer: "..."
She pops out, shoots the tank thing in the not tank part, and it staggers (somehow) and fades.
Demon Archer: "Another victory for the forces of justice!"
Artoria: "Yeah, right. Caster, this is the largest concentration? Can you tell where they're coming from?"
Caster: "The concentration increases that way."
All the commotion may attract the attention of Halsei and Asterios.
