Ultra Plant

-Alex recalls Junkrat and sends out Zenyatta-

Zenyatta: <Breathe deeply, for it shall be your last.>

-Earthquake-

Siobhan, and by extention, Gogmazios have followed Tagg to the comms room.

Siobhan: "What's wrong, Doctor?"

AU Fiore

Colton attempted to continue to look inconspicuous, hiding his backpack and Sun Stone in an illusion.

-Mezzo watches the Pidgeot guard fly away-

Mezzo: Shame. I was looking forward to cracking her head.

Pianis: Be nice.

Mezzo: Shut up.

Ultra Plant Base

Me: A disturbance? Like what, Des?

Ultra Base

"Yes, like a bad feeling. There are certain dark auras about. They must have shut off the aura jammers. But why?"

Lita chimed in. "Are you sure that's not all that [Tex-Mex] you've been eating?"

"Listen here, in this house we love and respect spicy food."

Lita put her hands on her hips. "What house, you're a vagrant?"

"It was a figure of speech."

She chuckled. "Supposed to be my father and still can't figure out speech, huh?"

"Lita that is not what I said and you know it. Anyways, get ready cuz things are about to go down. Treating me liked chopped liver..."

"The expression is chop liver, actually." Lita replied with a wink.

"Asdfghj."

Ultra Base

Me: I would agree with your daughter that too much spicy food can be a bad thing...

-suddenly, one of the hairs on my head sticks up-

Me: ...but I'm sensing a similar disturbance...

-Shaun snorts at Drake's first comment and gives him a one-over.-

Shaun: "Well, the fashion sense is one constant."

-He flexes his right hand and grabs a Poké Ball with his left hand.-

-AU!Shaun spies on the group from nearby, Luka watching with his Aura Sight.-

Luka: <Orders?>

AU!Shaun: "...fuck it, let's go."

-Eva has been following the group.-

AU Fiore

-As have Cady and Kat.-

Ultra Plant Base

-Daev stands there, Aron in his hands, as he watches a few members of the group sense something he couldn't-

Daev: So uh... I guess people are gonna get their weapons out or something? Anyone wanna carry this thing while I grab like a pan or something?

AU Sekra

Drake: Hm? Last I saw my other self was so dreary. Does he still have that ratty old hat?

AU!Sekra

Shaun: "He has a wizard hat. But it's pretty new."

AU Sekra

Drake: ... Okay sorry but why?

AU!Sekra

Shaun: "Is now a bad time to mention the time he dressed up as 2B?"

"Shit do you even know who 2B is?"

Arthur shrugs and puts his helmet on, it clicks in place with a hiss, as he lets out Cayde and Clutch, "Ranger keep a eye on these two."

<Roger that.>

<Hey Clutch I get but why me?> Cayde asks indignant.

At Jean just knocking, Arthur lets out a laugh, "Reminds me of when I fought the Cathedral... I did just knock on the front door."

Ultra Base

Me: Looks like we're about to fight some Mobius goons... Think we can take 'em, Des?

Ultra Plant Base

Channah: -to Daev- Uh, can your Aron not walk on their own? I'd keep em out if I were you, be more useful than yourself.

Basil: -sniffs in Aron's direction-

-The comm room grows dark, shadows dancing across the walls. A nervous Mobius member who has wisely decided to not fight the J-Team squeaks and scrambles out of the room.-

???: <You're not supposed to be here, you know.>

-The shadows smile. The small silhouette of a Pikachu puppet ambles along the hallway, headed toward Tagg and his crew.-

Pride: <And yet, you are! And it's bad enough that the doctor's orders were to let us out.>

-The faintest Aura Sense could easily identify Pride as a Shadow Pokemon. However, there is one more interesting quality, that only Tagg would be able to identify with his experience.-

-He is a Mind of Crystal.-

-Near Pefery, there's a terrifyingly familiar stomping.-

???:    <YOU'RE HERE. AGAIN.>   

-Robinson herself has gone to face the general J-Team.-

Dr. Robinson: I don't suppose you'd care to tell me how you found us, would you?

-Kiara is pacing in the Smoky Quartz project labs, hesitating over a button.-

-A voice laughs from beyond a containment room.-

???: {Now, what's the hesitation for, little bird? Aren't you going to let me out?}

Kiara: It's— it's too drastic, isn't it? We can drive them off with the others.

???: {Ah, but it would be so much fun, so fun! Is that not why we are all here? All a game, a game, and I'm a new character, just waiting to be introduced! Won't you please introduce me, little bird?}

Kiara: Please stop calling me that...

-She hesitates over the button.-

???: {Just a little press, and then the fun can truly begin!}

Sporange: <Hey, uh, boss? We've got—>

-he's promptly recalled-

PEFE!Every: Wh-why are you here? How are you here?

-she looks around for a way out, but there doesn't seem to be one except for charging straight into the J-team-

-and she'd be abandoning Stivanna-

-which, for some idiotic reason, she can't bring herself to do-

PEFE!Every: P-p-please...

Desmond eyed the shadowy form in front of him.

"Shadow Pokemon?" R. Mika readies herself.

Lita keeps a hand on her sword as Waspinator moves forward.

<You best not mess with Waspinator!>

A Shadow? I didn't think Mobius would sink that low, which makes me wonder if this is some sort of extracurricular activity for the commander.

So there's more of you, huh?

This one's creepier than than the Totem.

Botuli: <You'll find our resolve matches yours!>

Tyto: -Nocks an Obscura cloaked arrow-

-As the group approaches the base, some Mobius Grunts can be seen loitering outside, but have not spotted the group yet-

AU!Tagg: Okay, let's get them out of the picture quickly before they can raise the alarm.

Lance would release Moose and Fritz.

Fritz: <I'M FRE->

Lance: Sshhh.

He directed Fritz' attention to the Grunts.

Fritz: <Oh, right.>

-Of note is that while there are a fair few humans among the Mobius grunts, most of them are Pokemon-

-And about half are Unova native (as of BW 2) and half are Dragon-types-

Cady: Let me know if you need a distraction. I have certain abilities that mame me quite good at that.

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

Now, Daydre doesn't actually know how they knew where the base was. But the opportunity to be a little shit for justifiable reasons is rare.
