-Meanwhile, another text goes through to another conversation.-

-Vierr just stares at the dramatic introduction of Bwever-

-After a solid fifty seconds, he falls to his knees.-

-And just. Cries.-

Vierr: -through tears- What the fuck why is this happening what did I do to deserve this

Elizabeth: "Yeah but thing is we aren't supposed to tell anyone"

-She just yeets Oberon into her purse as hard as possible. There's a fluffy sound of impact.-

Lyra: "He landed on the bed!"

Elizabeth: "Godsdamnit."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Oh, another parody Rabbid. Okay that's cool, friend or foe?

-Well after an ultimately shallow and fruitless venture to Ersatz, Pent has arrived here-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Reversal Mountain, Bwever Zone

Bwever: <...>

-they take out a massive speaker, planting it behind them, and press one of the buttons-

Speaker: Get a hold of yourself, man!

-Bwever lets out an angry squeak, and leaps over to Vierr, slapping him, before leaping back to their perch-

Bwever: (firmly) <Bwah bwaah, bwahh. Bwah bwwah bwah, bwah bwaaah bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah.>

-they don't seem to realize that they are utterly unintelligible-

Bwever: (sagely) <Bwah, bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah.>

-they flip over the first picture on the easel, showing a Loudred, wearing a distinctive gray cap over one of her ears-

-and a crown over the other-

Bwever: (blandly) <Bwah bwah.>

Speaker: Ppppphhhhbt!

-they rip off the sheet with the Loudred, hurling it aside contemptuously-

Bwever: <Bwah bwah bwah bwah Bwamanita bwah Bwie.>

Speaker: Dun dun dun!!!!

Bwever: <Bwah bwah—>

-they gesture at the next slide, which has three images, each of a Rabbid with a familiar green jacket, and a cannon that looks like a Charizard's head-

-in the leftmost image, which Bwever gestures at first, everyone is standing still-

-curiously, they do seem to have accounted for the presence of everyone currently in the party-

-in very nicely drawn detail, too-

Bwever: (nervously) <Bwah!>

-the middle image, however, has everyone being shot at-

-and the rightmost has everyone in rapid motion, not being shot at-

Bwever: <Bwah?>

Speaker: Are ya ready, kids?

-Bwever tosses Bwie's slide aside to reveal a very tall Loudred, who appears to be a more vibrant purple than average and carries a hammer shaped like a Crobat-

Bwever: <Bwaaaah!>

-the two images are of someone close to Bwamanita getting whacked with a hammer-

-and someone far away, with Bwamanita flailing helplessly-

Bwever: (seriously) <Bwah? Bwah.>

-and they toss this slide aside as well-

Bwever: <Bwah bwah bwah bwah! Bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah, Bwever!>

Speaker: Ppphhhhhhbtt!

Bwever: <!>

-they smack the Speaker-

Speaker: Dun dun dunnnnn!

Bwever: <?!>

-they seem like they'll be occupied with that for the time being-

-there's a door behind them-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Ersatz alliance, dressing room.

Silversmith: "Wait WAIT WAIT!"

Slam. The door was closed. Silversmith looked at his wrist: no watch.

Silversmith: If this were any less tense I would make some sort of joke about Celebi and time limits.

He stared at the scarf, hanging on the hook. The scarf stared back, menacingly. Silversmith shuddered. Time seemed to slow down to allow Silversmith to make his decision.

Silversmith: On the one hand—

Time immediately regained it's pressuring speed as Silversmith's ultra ball shook.

Silversmith: "Now is literally the worst time."

He held it shut, and noticed his other pokeballs. He imagined what his pokemon would say.

Imagination!Armando: <Told ya.>

Imagination!Cortez and Aqua, simultaneously: <You can do it!>

Imagination!Shield Sheafson: <Yes! Bring me back the—>

Silversmith imagined withdrawing Shield.

Imagination!Silver Bullet: <...>

Silversmith: What would Silver Bullet say? I almost never talk to— FOCUS! Damn it damn it damn it...

He took a step towards the scarf, then a step back.

Silversmith: ''Would I advance my knight to C3 and then back to B1? No! I shall only move forward!"

He moved to the back of the room.

Silversmith: ''Yes! I shall NOW only move forward!"

He stood still. He began thinking at a mile a minute, recollecting past scenes. That fateful day when Cortez dragged him into Ersatz for the first time... The curb stomp speech Ian gave shortly after, and his heel realization... The time he thought he was were-moned... The nightmare ridden sleepless nights...

Flashback!Silversmith Senior: "Seems he's right."

Flashback!Armando: <You don't have the guts.>

Silversmith: ...You were right. I don't! I can't!

Flashback!Silversmith: "But I can! Just watch! I'll show you, dad! When I get back, I'm coming through the walls!"

Silversmith: ...Fuck you, me.

Flashback!Silversmith: "I vow to bring back honor to the Silversmith name!"

Flashback!Silversmith Senior: "You can't keep living like this!"

Silversmith: "...I gave my word. I gave my word, I gave my word, I gave—"

Silversmith continued chanting and took slow, small steps towards the scarf.

Silversmith: "I gave—Crap, I'm probably out of time!"

He stopped.

Silversmith: "Damn it! I was so close!"

Silversmith gave the scarf a good, long look. That was a mistake. In the wake of Celebi and his constant thinking he had forgotten all about his nervousness. Sitting still and staring re-infused all the fear of before. His hands grew clammy, he shuddered, and he very nearly stepped back.

Silversmith: "You know what, universe? I'm done with this crap. I'm done having nightmares, I'm done with coffee, I'm done making vows I can't keep, I'm done with everything here! I am going to put this scarf on, get out of here, and forget this ever happened!"

He aggressively approached the hanging scarf and reached out his hand. His hand stopped of it's own accord. Try as he might, he could not pick it up. He pushed. His own hand pushed back.

Silversmith: Is this that crazy disorder where you hand attacks you?

It wasn't. When he withdrew his hand from the scarf, it worked perfectly normal again. Silversmith hatched a plot to outsmart himself. Before he knew what he was doing, he grabbed the scarf with all the speed he could muster. There. It was in his hands. It felt soft. Silversmith didn't know what he expected. Hellfire? Spikes? Instant disintegration? Regardless, he had only to wrap it round himself.

Flashback!Silversmith: "If I'm not human, what am I?"

Silversmith shook. He recalled a fact he had picked up: it is nearly impossible to walk off a cliff. Your body won't let you. To get off, you must jump. He sweated more, and nearly dropped the scarf. He gathered round all the resolve he could muster, and threw the scarf in the air.

Silversmith: "Arceus have mercy on my—"

Silversmith floated out of the room, looking terrified.

-In a rare display of an emotion beyond rage and gay, Isbrand puts a hand on Vierr's shoulder.-

Isbrand: "Just...just let it go, man. It's not worth it."

-Isbrabbid is catatonic at the moment.-

   Shade   : <Come on, quit waitin' around! I got pain to inflict!>

-Isbrand is regretting every decision she's made in the last two days.-

-Vierr is smacked, and just sorta ragdolls over onto the ground.-

Vierr: ...Just leave me like this. This is where I belong now.

-Vierrabbid frowns at his human doppelganger, nudging him with his foot.-

Vierrabbid: <Bwah.>

Vierr: Noooo.

Rin: "You know, what I assume was a long exposition speech would have been remarkably more useful had it been intelligible!"

Her face briefly goes anime levels of angery◊.

Archer: <I think I got that there's going to be a fight soon. Probably on the other side of that door.>

Ruby: <Bwah.>

Ruby starts walking towards the door.

Silversmith flung the scarf off. It was much easier to distinguish from the tassel this time, as it was grey. He breathed quickly and picked it up.

Silversmith: "Oh, thank Arceus. And you. Thank you both. And you, protector of forests. Thanks all around. I hope not to be a burden or bother ever again."

He placed the required money on the counter. It was nearly all he had, but he wasn't exactly in a position to bargain. Or care.

Ersatz Alliance

Shadow applauded Silversmith.

Shadow: Nice job, pal! You did it! -waves the scarf he's holding out of excitement-

Even Mischief cheered before burying her face in Shadow's chest.

Heheheh

Reversal Mountain, Past

I... I think I get what the Ever parody was trying to tell us? At least for the second and third of what I assume are upcoming enemies?

-He shrugs and starts heading for the door-

Move around to avoid the green Rabbid's attacks and stay away from the purple one's hammer.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

-Elizabeth pauses for a moment. But no, she trusts Julius implicitly. She can tell him anything.-

Elizabeth: "Right, so you know what manaketes are, right? Kind of like that but...no, it's really not, nevermind."

"Basically the power to summon demons and manifestations of your repressed emotions. The usual fun, light-hearted fare."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

-the moment everyone's through the door, it slams shut behind them, leaving them in darkness-

-and then the lights start going on-

-while there is lava surrounding the battlefield, it appears to not in fact be lava, but Kool-Aid, with massive quantities of waterproofed LED bulbs floating in it-

-...-

-that said, the Rabbids Bwever warned about are there, standing on platforms well above the group-

-but they aren't alone. Level with the group are a Ziggy, Hopper, Buckler, and Supporter, each with a little Dunsparce hat-

Bwefery: <Bwah. Bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah, bwah bwah bwah— >

Bwie: (pleasantly, but firmly) <Bwah? Bwah bwah.>

Silversmith: "Thanks Shadow. This doesn't mean you can sneak up on me now. Celebi, I will never bring up your name in a flippant remark again."

Silversmith reached for his head to tip a hat, but found none. He considered requesting to purchase one, but noticed his empty money pocket and decided to keep silent. Instead, he bowed, grabbed the doggie box and walked away from the line, finding a chair to sit in and decompress. He decided to watch Shadow from the distance and see what his challenge was. Going home could wait. Going home meant putting on the scarf again. His stomach rumbled. Ok, so going home could wait a little bit.

Shadow nods at Silversmith, then approaches the counter and places the scarf down on it, along with Mischief.

Shadow: Hello, yeah, I'd like to do a challenge for a transformation scarf. I've got this scarf picked out already, so... If you'd tell me the challenge, I'd happily ace it!

Mischief looked back nervously. Shadow was prone to overconfidence, much like Maverick. Although he at least had a brain, unlike the dull-witted Absol.

ersatz alliance, a few weeks ago

-Eva is passing through, focused on her phone instead of where shes heading. This leads her to trip over her own feet and drop her phone into a clothes basket. A few minutes later she emerges from the clothes basket, with a phone that will never work again.-

Eva: Noooo!

stormchaser, now

-Eva is opening a box. Inside, there is a shiny new phone.-

Eva: Phew. My life can get back on track now! I guess maybe the weird haunted look is why the price was so cheap?

-She starts setting up the new phone and installing old apps. Suddenly, the screen lights up with an orange face as the phone almost seemed to jump.-

Eva's phone: Download complete!

-Eva drops the phone in surprise.-

Eva: Aack! Get out of my phone!

Eva's phone: <Fine...>

-A rotom floats out of her new phone.-

Rotom: <Aah... I've in there for so long. It's nice to see some people.>

Eva: But why were you posessing a phone?

Rotom: <I love posessing stuff. Also, I wanted to be like one of those phone assistant type things. I could be sooo helpful! But I just scared everyone...>

Eva: I don't think phones are particularly designed for rotom... But I'd be fine if you lived in my phone.

-Eva pulls out a pokeball.-

Rotom: <Nice! Call me Siri!>

Eva: Ok siri!

-She throws the pokeball and Siri hops in happily.-

Gotcha! Siri was caught!
