"Theres our queue!" He and Mika dive in.
Outside
Des and Mika are now here. He retrieves the Z-crystal from Mika's mouth.
"So, this is the bauble you were talking about. Neat."

-Pent finishes his act of graffiti and hops in the portal near him-
-Once he's gone, all that's left on this wall is a message in dark-teal ink:-

Just... Wizard hat or something. I'm working on a weird aesthetic and it hasn't been well-received so far but I'm trying to make it work.
-He shrugs-
It's hard to describe...

Reynard: I'm happy that you're happy. Do keep us informed of anything you'd like to request. My assistant and I thank you for accommodating us.
Reynard bows out and proceeds to move out of the room, signaling Silversmith to follow.

Mr. Bitey: <Oh! Oh! We have wizard hats over there!> Mr. Bitey points.
He then finishes reorganizing his papers.
Mr. Bitey: <Okay, where were we!>
The Primarina promptly delivered the prince to the kingdom's docks. As he watched to make sure that the prince didn't like, die before someone found him the Primarina found himself falling in love with the prince. Not desiring to be caught by humans, however, the Primarina eventually pried himself away from the shore once help arrived.
Back in his home, though, the Primarina couldn't help but find his thoughts continually returning to the prince. He knew romance between them was not to be, for they were from two different worlds. The prince would never be able to understand his words, barring some kind of magic translator, or possibly an armband that turned one of them into the other's species. But that was ridiculous, such items could not possibly exist.
Ahem.
But I digress, the Primarina knew he couldn't solve his problems through any normal methods. So like the well-adjusted individual he was he immediately turned to black magic. The Primarina sought out the Sea Witch, a Dhelmise experienced in the arts of spellcraft and other witch activities. Like advanced calculus.
Primarina: <SEA WITCH TURN ME INTO A PERSON>
Sea Witch: <You can't just ask me that, I need something in return.>
Primarina: <Take whatever you want, foul witch->
Sea Witch: <Okay first off, rude.>
Primarina: <Oh, sorry. Got a little carried away there. So yeah, I'll give you whatever in exchange for a spell to turn me human.>
The sea witch continued on to explain that she would make him the potion, on several conditions. The Primarina must make the prince kiss him within a month, and he could not speak at all during that time period. And if he failed in this endeavor, the Sea Witch would transform the Primarina into some kind of unlovable terrifying human-Primarina hybrid.
Primarina: <Hey wait doesn't taking away my voice remove the whole point of why I came h->
Sea Witch: <Shshshshshsh SH. Look buddy. I can't get cable or wifi underwater so this kinda shit is my only entertainment. Getting to watch you guys fumble around like dumbasses is the purest form of enjoyment I can get, and you get the rest of your life to talk to this guy if you succeed so win-win right?>
Primarina: <I.. guess that's fair. Well, I agree to your terms.>
<Also, what's wifi?>
Sea Witch: <Eh, you'll understand in a couple hundred years.>
Primarina: <Couple hundred yea-?!>
In a whirl of bubbles the Primarina was whisked away to the surface. His body bent and twisted, reforming and reshaping until he arrived on the coast as a suspiciously Primarina-like human.
Primarina? Oh my gods it actually worked.
Why can't I- oh, right, yeah that.
Random Lady: "AAAAAAAH"
... A suspiciously Primarina-like naked human.
Mr. Bitey pauses for a second to rest his throat.

Silversmith nodded and followed. He recalled the multitude of messages he’d received and decided to check his phone. He read Ian’s message and realized he’d left the bag in the bathroom in his haste. With many muttered “Excuse me”s, he took a detour to grab the bag. He messaged Ian confirmation of the bag’s security and reunited with Reynard, happy to have the heist nearly over with.Textspace

Me: Well, Piku-chan... We did it...
Piku-chan: <You got that right, buddy!>
Me:Now, to secure our victory, we have to jump through the portal!
Piku-chan: <And we better do it fast! We don't want the Dark Pulse Lady and Hubby McGigantor to catch up to us!>

-...-
Forte: It's cool, but like, one issue I have is so many of the zones and stuff are copied from previous games, and like it's so densely packed with references that you need a degree in Sonicology to find them all.
-...-
Forte: Do I have a degree? No, but if I did I'd get one in Eeveeology.
-...-
Forte: Have you heard about the Sonic movie? Yeah, it doesn't look that interesting. I know everyone's talking about how Sonic's new appearance looks dumb but they do that with every visual redesign.
-...-
Forte: Well, see, my parents had some things to say about the soundtrack in the trailer. They both play violins in the Castelia Harmonic Orchestra, and sometimes they do scores for Pokéstar Studios movies.
-...-
Forte: What I think? It's fine, it's a cheesy 90s song for a cheesy 90s character.
-...-
Forte: Yes, I say that as a fan. I mean, Sonic is just... 90s personified.

Forte: You drew a picture of me and the team? Lemme see.
-Forte pulls up the image◊ on the screen-
Forte: Whoa, that's awesome!
A commission by RexDraco!

Forte: Have I ever thought of live streaming Pokémon training? Uh, I dunno. That sounds like way more work than streaming Sonic. I'd have to get like an actual camera and stuff.

"Well it was no-" and he and Mika were knocked back by the explosion.

-The explosion flung Pent and his mind was turned by the suddenness of it all-
Are we betrayed?
-A fleck of thought went to retrieving his sword from his bag, any would do and so it was that accursed Horseman's blade that answered the call to his hand-
Need to maintain secrecy.
-He tried to construct a suitable face covering to protect his identity as the smoke hung in the air...-

Des stops and sighs.
"Ian...that's what you sign up for when you join the J-Team. You'll put yourself at risk and there are some days you just won't win. Most young people in the J-Team were only there coincidentally, just as the team was forming and gaining notoriety. You on the other hand have a choice. Is this the path you want to walk down?"
