Learner Lab Series 8, April Fools Special
The video, titled April Fools 8, is described as an anticipated prank-off between current host Tommy Petersen and beloved former host and edutainment veteran Dr. Roger Williams.
Bold letters start announcing the terms of the prank-off. In a dark room, two figures in silhoutte are seated across one another, a bright spotlight and a dark room behind them. Their profiles are unmistakably that of an older gentleman and a young adult.
OBB: The biggest hotshot in science entertainment, host of the world's most successful and meme-tastic educational programs on television and the Internet...
The light for Dr. Williams turns on, to rapturous applause.
OBB: Takes on some non-threatening pretty boy.
Tommy: Oh, come on.
The light for Tommy Petersen turns on, to fangirlish screaming.
Dr. Williams: Sorry Garfunkel, but I'm here to take back my show.
Tommy: Well, uh, your mom!
Smash cut to a rather disappointed Dame Matilda Williams, drinking tea in a mahogany paneled office in Galar.
A pop up mentions that Dame Williams is Dr. Williams' mother and the current chairperson of the Geographic Society Board of Directors. And mentions that Tommy risks getting fired for saying that.
Dame Williams: Ahem.
Back to: Kayfabe room.
Dr. Williams: Come on, Tommy, don't tell me that's the best you've got?
Tommy: I dunno doc. Like, half the viewers will probably demand my head be cut off.
Dr. Williams: T, we're recording this! They're smart enough to get that it's a joke. It'll be okay. Right, K-FAB.
K-FAB the porygonZ, via speech device: I'm staying out of this.
Tommy: I panicked. Quick, lemme review the script and get into character.
Dr. Williams: Take your time.
Tommy gets an absurdly large script, which he appears to read.
Tommy, a bit more intense: Stand aside now, old man. I've done more prank episodes than you. I've put my chemistry major to good use.
Pop up: That is true.
Dr. Williams: Well, where's your PhD? Your pranks lack sophistication. Maybe because you spend way too much of your time off-set. If you spent your episodes at the lab you can come up with quite elaborate pranks.
Tommy: Don't tell me your still upset about not getting an Alola episode in your last run.
Recommended video: Learner Lab Season 8 Episode 12—Waves and Tides feat. Dr. Williams' Voice
Dr. Williams: I don't need to pander.
Tommy: Uh, says you. You've been appealing to the same crowd since the 1990s. And I don't need to create a diet-soda and mint candy pyrotechnic extravaganza to have a bit of fun in this show.
Dr. Williams: Oh really, I'd like to see you try it.
Tommy: Do your worst; my arsenal of common and readily available household items are ready for you.
Dr. Williams: See, this is why I go for the bombastic. So many impressionable kids are going to be copying this at home.
Tommy: At least my pranks are hands-on. Better to get the kids to try out science in their own homes, after all.
Dr. Williams: CW called. They want their concept back!
Tommy: At least I worked for my career, mama's boy.
Dr. Williams: Oh you are so going to get it.
Both leave the room, only to come back carrying items that would probably be best suited for a wrestling cage match. Dr. Williams picks up a steel chair while Tommy lifts a mallet.
OBB: As we were saying... Dr. Williams takes on Tommy Petersen in our first ever live prank off. Warning: Educational Content.
Upon the conclusion of the opening's ridiculous wrestling-esque trash talk, the entire live stream turns out to be a prerecorded reaction video of the two of them watching each other's pranks and discussing the science behind them at length.
Castelia City, Shutter's Apartment
Shutter, watching the hour-long April Fool's episode: I don't know which episode to feel more betrayed, this one or the one where they got Brad Van Darn to guest star as a lab assistant.
Gimbal, via phone: Check out the comments, though, the fandom seems to be taking the joke well.
Shutter: Well I'll be.
Gimbal: At least it isn't [Sicko Mode] at the Golden Saucers.
Shutter: Pranks are only funny in the appropriate context.
Gimbal: You got that from Tommy's run of the show.

11:50PM AFD, Entralink
-With the White seemingly gone for real, the four(/five) lost characters spend the last few minutes apart from each other, each in their own way trying to come to terms with what might well happen-
-Let's start with Tibalt. During his time in the city chasing Pentigan, he took the time to flog some of the intricate coin of the realm for money and then spend it on a Pokegear for access to a map, clock and most importantly right now a phone. He sits here in a corner of the Entralink, typing a number manually from memory and hoping it connects. After a few rings it does and someone picks up-
Phone: Hello?
-Tibalt's face gains a hint of brightness amid the despair as he recognizes the voice. He knows it's not the same person but... It's the voice, he just needed to hear the voice. He fiddles with a card in his fingers and tears start welling up-
Tibalt: Hey.
Phone: Wait why are you calling Dan-
Tibalt: I can't explain, I just wanted to hear your voice.
Phone: You could just come down-
Tibalt: Love you mum.
Phone: Love you too.
Tibalt: Hey, when I come downstairs can I get a hug?
Phone: Sure.
Tibalt: Thanks... See you soon.
-Flecks of red pepper the air around him as he hangs up. Let's move onto the next self-grieving character; Haliskander is a good candidate, kneeling here staring at the stars. He watches the stars and idly fiddles with the slash in the suit under the bandage-
Phantom Cosmonaut: Прости, Мария. Я подвел тебя, мою страну и мое зеленое сердце.
-Particles of blue gather near him as he spots a distant star he recognizes. The next one sitting alone... No, not alone. Daev Jons and Apophis can never be considered alone as long as their fates are intertwined with the bond of the Bestial Annihilation Entity. To anyone else it would look like Daev sits alone next to the tree but to those who can see somebody else's problems, they can spot the grand purple snake entangled in the branches-
Daev: Can't believe I'm never gonna see Emmollia again...
Apophis: Forget her, she is a firebrand who brings only destruction in her wake. I thought our pact could bring you above the worshiping sheep.
Daev: I grew up in Vox, I grew up on stories of her adventures and the glory of the other Icons. I can't just throw that all aside, what could I ever put my faith into instead?
Apophis: Me.
-Yellow sparkles around the two as Apophis stares her pact-bearer in the eyes. Let's finish off by checking in on the smallest and meekest of the four; Ashur has summoned more Myr of different metals and one that towers over herself and she's just... Sitting there trying to hug them as she prays...-
Ashur: Far Vanished, as I am now, I plea-... Tel-Jilad, under your stories heights-... Karn, father of machines... Deliver this simple Sylvok from despair as her clock runs out...
-Green wisps appear around the planeswalker... And The White returns-
The White: One. Last. Thing.
-We're at 11:58 now. The sky flickers with a hidden white void of black words as the figure in white steps across the isle-
The White: There's something I realized while I was humming to myself. See you're all going to hate me for this but I realized I'm basically a god. I don't need your permission.
-The shape matching each color flashes under the four for a moment and the Guest Stars vanish, leaving behind... Folders. Five folders. The world flickers again with that word-void as The White brings Tibalt's, Ashur's, Haliskander's and Apophis' folders towards it-
The White: They look so sad and lonely, I sold my soul for poetry. This hell is members only, why did I say okie doki?
-The robed one opens one of the folders and starts messing with the files inside... It glances up, straight at the camera-
The White: The yandere? No I'm not her.

Shadow!Elizabeth: "Thͪoͦrͬ!"

-The two Norse Personas meet in a clash of blows, obscured in ice and lightning.-
-When the smoke clears, both Elizabeths stare at each other, gritting their teeth. They raise their gun and book, respectively.-
Shadow!Elizabeth: "Luͧcͨiͥfeͤrͬ!"
Elizabeth: "Seth!"
-Two bangs echo in Elizabeth's mind. The Fallen Angel - an Arceus-like Deoxys - and the God of Chaos - a black Druddigon - rush each other, an unstopable force against an immovable object. Neither side gains an advantage...until Seth swallows Lucifer whole, roaring triumphantly. Elizabeth's Shadow cries out in pain, actual fear in her eyes.-
-The battle's dragged on long enough. Elizabeth selects one last card from the Compendium and sets the tome down. Her Shadow presses the barrel of her gun to the side of her head, breathing heavily.-
-They stare at each other for a moment, before crushing the card and pulling the trigger.-

5th of April, 5:30PM, Entralink
-The keepers had tried to keep people off the island for a few days now. Everyone was pretty sure that something strange had happened here and while for more than a year the staff had to deal with questions of whether the tree was responsible for the rift in the sky, today they were trying to keep the island closed because something akin to divine intervention was on the scene-
-The Unown currently drifting about the isle and forest had arrived on special dispatch to investigate the surges of spatial, dimensional and temporal instability that had cropped up in the past few days. Now they were on the scene things were looking even more dire, in addition the letters investigating suspected Glitch activity due to a number of anomalies that looked to bear a Code Metaphor-
-Among them was a glyph bouncing slowly in the air next to the Entree, ringed by a set of half-melted candles the keepers placed just in case the object was cursed. The object was a folder, a light yellow manila folder just levitating in place. A few of the Unown gathered near it, examining the object before humming in tune... And returned the file to its true form: The dimension-displaced BAE Master, Daev Jons-
Daev Jons: S-stop play-...
-He looked around at the vastly different situation he was now in. With their job done the Unown backed off to search more of the island-
Copper Myr: ???
-Well, no longer alone. A small coppery metal creature scrambled out of a pile of brown fabric and made its way over to inspect the strange human sitting with his back against the tree. With hesitation the little thing reached out and poked his side, getting Daev's attention-
Daev Jons: ... You're one of... You're one of her things right?
-The little metal thing ponders, glances over at the pile of fabric it crawled out of and nodded-
Daev Jons: Where'd they all go?
-The Myr let off a wisp of green mana and tried to trace out the shape of a spade on the ground. This action finally caught the attention of one of the investigating Unown-
Unown A: Anomalous animated atronach. Action advice?
Unown T: Tempting... Trainer threaded, try Translation.
Unown A: Anomaly, actualize as... Aron?
-With a slight 'boof' of air, there wasn't a Myr there any more. Instead there was a small coppery Aron in its place-
Copper Aron: !!!
Daev Jons: Huh... I guess... You wanna come look with me little guy?''
Copper Aron: Ron!
Daev Jons: Guess that's a yes.
-He gets up, gingerly picks up the surprisingly-heavy Pokemon and started wandering towards the bridges off the island and into a big new world...-

Some cafe, April 2
In the private balcony of a cafe somewhere in Lumiose City, the civilian identities of the Arachna-squad (and Thomas) and their pokémon decide to chill, celebrating the apparent defeat of the Last Laugh's demon spirit form (with the help of ...something).
Tommy, dressed in anachronistic apparel: Okay fellas, I appreciate a celebratory coffee toast as much as the next guy. But let's address the donphan in the living room—
Beat.
Tommy: How are you four going home?
Thomas: You tell me. You live here, ninja me.
Tommy: I'm not a ninja. I'm a superhero.
Thomas: Pfft. Superheroes wear capes and domino masks. Yours is clearly a suit of eldritch magic or atomic technology.
Tommy: I— you know, I'll have to ask Mr. Grant if my suit is built with auric powers.
Thomas levitates a cup.
Thomas: Okay, auric powers were not the source of your incredible reflexes and unbelievable machamp-like strength? Because I'm pretty sure—
Tommy: Holy shit you're telepathic.
Thomas: Why wouldn't I be? We're aurics.
Tommy: Okay, focus people. How can we get you guys back to your home dimensions? Any thoughts? I mean who knows what this is gonna do to all of you.
Riley: Put a sock in it, Uncle T. I've seen my alternate self roaming around and he's perfectly fine. I mean, the robot parts make me feel a bit worried but other than that alternate me is still my good-looking self.
Future!Miley: Hey, you have a time-and-dimension-hopping alternate self? Why don't we call in a favour and get him to shuttle us back to our timelines?
Riley: Should we even try? He's a total dick. That porcelain doll face of handsomeness belies a heart of cold metal.
Future!Miley: Come on David, think. You know you better than anyone else.
Riley: But it's a totally different me.
Suddenly... yet another costumed hero appears out of a rift just above the balcony, falling gracefully down on a superhero pose. Again. The Tommy Petersens recognize the silhouette of that man. [Bohemian Rhapsody]'s trial plays in the background.
Tommy: Thunderbolts and lightning very, very frightening me.
Thomas: Is that our editor dressed in tights and a cape?
Hank Harvey in tights: Halt, citizens. Tell me which alternate universe did I fall into.
Tommy: Uh.
Hank Harvey in tights: Speak! Ectoplasmaguy, dark champion of justice, demands knowledge. Behold, my faithful partner in crime fighting, the Dark Vengeance.
Dark Vengeance, a Gengar: <'Sup guys.>
Hank Harvey: T.A. Petersen! What is he doing here?
Thomas and Anachroguy Tommy: Excuse me?
Hank Harvey/Ectoplasmaguy: Sorry. I forgot we're in an alternate universe. But my T.A. Petersen is a dick. Entitled prick who thinks he can be editor in chief because daddy dearest bought the Geographer Weekly. Seriously, it's between him and Multiman. But I got him gooood.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, a giant bit of graffiti emblazons a Team Mobius capital vehicle, saying "MULTIMAN SMELLS" in big, blocky writing. Workers are meanwhile painting more letters that say "GOOD" right below it.
