-Carna approaches PEFE!Every, snarling.-

Carna:    <ROBINSON. SHE TRACKED ME DOWN, AND CAME TO COLLECT.>   

-Her eyes dart from glaring into Pef's eyes, to the Mobius attire she's wearing.-

Carna:    <WHOSE SIDE, EXACTLY, ARE YOU WORKING FOR? EVIDENTLY, YOU DON'T SEEM PARTICULARLY LOYAL.>   

-Robinson's face twitches slightly. She mentally tallies the number of people in the room.-

Dr. Robinson: ...Very well, I did not need a direct answer anyway. And do you really think discrediting me is a particularly applicable threat?

-Her hand twitches near a Poke Ball by her side.-

-The Mimikyu is struck by the Night Daze, and his puppet head flops limply to the side.-

-And then the Thunderbolt strikes, and the shadows along the walls spasm. And laugh.-

Pride: <Well, now, that's just rude! We didn't even get to have a conversation!>

-The shadows laugh harder, cackling, bellowing, in a disorienting cacophony for everyone in the room.-

-Incidentally, the sound of the flying Mobius intern coming in does manage to find its way onto one of the various comm devices in the area, at least one of the ones that hasn't been destroyed yet.-

-The Smoky Quartz room is now unoccupied, except for Kiara pacing and panicking.-

Mimikyu: <You want to talk about being rude, and here you are starting a conversation with me without even bothering to remove your hat. What nonsense.>

Fortis: This is creepy...

Pianis: It's just one Pokémon. I think they've got it under control.

Ultra Plant Base, Carna Zone

-PEFE!Every flinches back from Carna-

Doctor Robinson...those two know each other? How...

PEFE!Every: No, I promise, I'm loyal to Mobius, when have I done anything to suggest otherwise? I— I helped Doctor Robinson with her projects, I helped guard the airship, I...

-she trails off, realizing this maybe this isn't the best tack to take with Carna-

Need to get out of here. Without leaving Stivanna behind. Can Caretaker fight her?

-PEFE!Every does her best to surreptitiously reach for a ball, hoping that any movement will just be written off as her general quavering-

Vermilion City, rooftop

-Ever and Brie are sitting approximately two feet apart, flinging playing cards at each other-

Ever: Ha! Got it!

Brie: Okay, that's a point for you, which makes it 17 to 4, my favor.

-...yeah, they've collected a fair few paper cuts each-

Ever: Hey, you ever feel like something important is happening and you're missing it?

Brie: Are you just saying that 'cause you're losing?

Ever: I'm not just saying it because I'm losing.

-Eva looks up at the airship.-

Eva: Woah... This is so awesome.

-Merah, meanwhile has taken up a more defensive stance.-

Stormchaser

   Hellfire   : <You two have fun with that, I'm going to go see if Fluff is on the ship.>

-He pads off. Shade tilts her head at Cait then slams her own body into the door.-

Isbrand: -muffled- "Shade what the FUCK>

Ultra Plant Base

-Piku-chan and I cover our ears as the Shadow Panic strikes-

Me: AA Aaaahh! What even IS that noise?!

Piku-chan: <I-I don't know... I think it might be one of their attacks!>

Me: Piku-chan! Try to shut them up with another Thunderbolt!

-Piku-chan unleashes another Thunderbolt on all the Shadow Pokémon in an attempt to quiet them!-

-However, every thunderbolt Piku-chan unleashed hit the shadows and missed Pride completely-

Me: HUH?!

Piku-chan: <I tried, Ian... but I couldn't hit them!>

Me: It's okay, Piku-chan...

Stormchaser, Outside Isbrand's Cabin

-Cait shakes her head at Shade's attempt to batter down the door.-

Cait: <Ach, that's nae how you do it! Better hope those two are done, 'cause I'm abouta->

Lissa: Alright, alright, fine! Gods, it's like opening the door for a Purrloin with this lot...

-She throws open the door, now clad in a (relatively) more conservative baggy t-shirt and pair of sweatpants, before turning back to Isbrand.-

Lissa: ...How do you do it? The whole "being a trainer" thing, I mean?

Ultra Plant

Alex: -shrugs- I dunno, it seemed the most applicable at the time. But the ass-kicking part still applies.

AU Fiore

-The mons are taken down pretty quickly-

-The humans yelp and run inside-

Jean: After them!

-Rushes inside-

AU Fiore

Kat: You heard 'em! Let's go!

-She runs inside.-

Cady: Okay...

-She follows.-

Ultra Plant Base

-Hearing the comms-

What was that?

Tyto: -Gets confused and accidently flies into one of the walls- <Oof!>

Botuli: -Is similarly confused, but manages to get off a Torment-

AU!Sekra Range

AU!Tagg: -Follows with his mons-

Ultra Plant Base

Channah: Yikes.

Basil: -cocks his head curiously at the Copper Aron before getting hit with the Shadow Panic and starts chasing his tail-

Channah: -holds out 2 pokeballs, returning Basil before he bites himself and sending out Big Savings almost simultaneously-

Big Savings: < 2spooky4me > -spits a Poison Sting at Pride-

Stormchaser

Isbrand: "It's like having kids except when they annoy you you can legally stuff them into Poké Balls."

-Isbrand snorts.-

Isbrand: "Well, Shade's like that. It's really more like having a bunch of friends that you keep fed in exchange for them fighting for you."

Ultra Plant

Naga: "Do not try it, Robinson. You're outnumbered. And with a fraction of my power I could crush your monsters."

-A lie, of course. He barely has any power after his rebirth. But maybe the threat will be enough.-

AU - Sekra Range

"On it!"

Stormchaser, Isbrand's Cabin

Lissa: Right...
You don't have friends. You have masters and enemies. That's all.
-She gives Isbrand a weak smirk.-

Lissa: ...Should probably try to learn what that's like first before I start building a team, huh?
You won't. You'll never learn. You're there to be controlled.

The Walking Mountain, Crust

Diggersby: <Birds, beasts, and swords, all in sets of three! The building blocks of our very being were made by magical flying cats, that come in strawberry and blueberry flavors! Time is controlled by a dragon, and space by a limbed eel! THE WORLD WAS DREAMED UP BY A HORSE DOING PAPERWORK!>

Big Dom: <we never mentioned any of those...>

Dune: <Just... just let him wear himself out, Dom.>

-The trio wander into a large cavern with a pool of water sitting in the center, underneath a long, toothy stalactite, as water drips down into what appears to be the communal watering hole. Diggersby, Drilbur, and Diglett wander around, trading odds and ends for foraged food or water containers.-

Diggersby: <This be Crust! Welcome to the Water Tooth! We all stick around here since there's water, and none o' the police units come down here! I gots'ta tell everyone about the wondrous things you've told me! A lava spider, a giant steam engine, a time-traveling shrub, and a GIANT STAR DRAGON!>

Dune: *Sigh* <Okay, yeah, sure, Mcgucket.>

Diggersby: <Y'know, that ain't a half-bad name! People just call me "crazy", but that ain't a name!>

-Dune wishes he could massage his head with his Excadrill claws.-

Dune: <Okay, look, where can we find someone to take us the next level up?>

Mcgucket: <Iunno!>

-He starts cackling like a madman while all of the nearby digging Pokemon give a collective sigh.-

Dune: <... I'm gonna hurt him.>

Big Dom: <it appears we may not need to.>

-A Golett, an oddball in the burrowing Pokemon crowd, makes its way towards the pair.-

Golett: <Are you communists?>

-Dune and Big Dom both blink.-

Stormchaser

-Isbrand offer a small smile and wraps her arms around Lissa.-

Isbrand: "I will be delighted to help you, if you'll let me."

Ultra Plant

-Daev ducks and cowers at the incredibly awful sound and once it passes he's still there-

Daev: Okay, so you're not a nice little... Whatever you are.

Copper Aron: <Disruptive noise noted. Correcting.>

-The Aron Tackles in-

AU Sekra Base

Drake: Good work on the grunts, but I can handle it from here.

-He pops a smile and heads into the base, looking like a picture of confidence-

Stormchaser Deck, Post-Battle

-Pent survived. Additionally, his team did too-
These pipes they flow together
-He got some good shots off, forced this maniac that thinks its his daughter to retreat-
These pipes they flow forever and ever.
-Now he's just kinda... Staring off the balcony of the Stormchaser because he's a tad injured and very tired-

Mobius Intern: What the f—

-clangs and scuffles filter through the speakers for some time, heedless of the poor helpless amoral-scientific monster-horror-movie moods they may or may not be killing-

-the brief, heavy fade into static, however, could only contribute to such an atmosphere-

-and then there's a ding!-

Mobius Grunt: ...okay, it seems like it'd be better if I stepped out. I'll...walk to base.

The engine seems to be giving out anyways, so...

???: "What?"

Mobius Intern: Emily out!

-and Emily, apparently, ejects with a heavy whoomp that cuts communications-

-irrelevant happenings-

AU!Fiore

Colton shapeshifted into Talbain via his Sun Stone as he chased his enemies into the base, picking up stones semi-geokinetically along the way.

-Carna leers at Pef, eyes noticeably drawn to her hand moving toward a Poke Ball.-

Carna:    <...>   

-She steps closer, looking Pef directly in the eyes.-

Carna:    <I AM NOT FOND OF ROBINSON. ON A SURFACE LEVEL, SHE IS A SERIAL SYCOPHANT, EARNING HER WAY TO POWER SOLELY SO SHE CAN DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS WITH WHATEVER RESOURCES SHE WANTS, AND HER INTERESTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN IMMORAL EXPERIMENTATION. I AM A PRODUCT OF THAT EXPERIMENTATION.>   

-A small puff of smoke comes out of her snout.-

Carna:    <YOU DON'T THINK SHE CARES THAT YOU NEARLY DIED IN HER OLD LAB, DO YOU?>   

-The Tackle, being Normal-type, does nothing except amuse Pride. The Torment and Poison Sting, however, do annoy him slightly.-

Pride: <Don't insult me.>

-The dancing shadows on the walls extend into spikes that stab at everyone.-

Robinson: ...I won't... gah! Fine, then, destroy this facility, for all I care!

???: {Uee hee hee, now that's quitter's talk!}

-The sound of tinny circus music plays through the speakers as a Blacephalon just... appears in the area.-

Blacephalon: {A surrender is no fun, no fun! You set a marvelous fun free, and now this marvelous fun must make himself known! It is me, the joker, the jester, the jack, the Jevil!}

Ultra Plant Base

Me: Hey, Fortis! You want me to go on ahead? I'll try to get a better scope of this place and get back to you with what I find... I'll leave one of my 'mons with you to help you fight this...

-I check my Pokédex-

Pokédex: Mimikyu, The Disguise Pokémon. A Ghost and Fairy type. It wears a ragged head cover to look like a Pikachu, but little is known about this Pokémon. It's said that a scholar who once tried to look inside was overwhelmed by terror, went home and    died painfully that very night.   

Me: Taihenda...

-I shake the fear off me-

Me: Anyways... I'll go on ahead if you want me to, but I'll leave one of my Pokémon here to help you fight this Shadow Mimikyu... What Pokémon do you want me to leave with you?

-Butterscotch is hit! His disguise falls apart-

Butterscotch: <Now look, you're supposed to save that until the second date.>

Mezzo: Get in there and fight!

Butterscotch: <After that indignity? What do you think I am, an Umbreon?>

-he flails his arms widely, smacking himself in the face with a claw-

-Mezzo responds with a similar emotion-

Pianis: I think she's got this under control... I think. Actually, you might want to leave something that's strong against Fairy types.

Vermilion, Rooftop

Ever: So, the raids, huh?

Brie: Ugh, don't remind me.

Ever: You're not going, and that's final.

Brie: -sighs-

-...-

Brie: You know, Pef's probably there on one side or another.

Ever: I'm sure she's doing something weaselly or another.

Brie: She's our cousin, you know.

Ever: It's what I would do.

Ultra Plant

PEFE!Every: ...O-oh.

-she just stares-

...Oh. I...oh, gods. What have I done?

-PEFE!Every gulps, and does her best to continue-

PEFE!Every: I'm so sorry. I thought...there was...

-she takes a sharp breath-

...No. I'm sorry.

-she slides to her knees-

Please. I know I haven't given you any reason to listen to me, but please don't hurt them.

Ultra Plant Base

Me: The only Pokémon I know that has a move strong against Fairy Types is Piku-chan...

Piku-chan: <It's okay, pal... Just get back here as soon as you can... I'll be fine.>

Me: Th-thanks buddy...

-I turn my hat around-

Me: Piku-chan! I choose you!

-Piku-chan jumps into the fray-

Me: I'll be back! I promise!

-I run down the corridor-

Ultra Plant

-Alex whistles at Jevil-

Alex: Cheeky fellow aren't you?

AU Fiore

-Inside the facility are various humans, dragons, and Unova mons-

-Most are panicking but a fair amount toss attacks the raiders' way-

Ultra Plant Base

-Detects-

Tyto: -Gets grazed by the Wave, and then tries to pin the shadows in place with some well-aimed Spirit Shackles-

Botuli: -Protects before firing a Gunk Shot at Pride-

AU!Sekra Range Base

AU!Tagg: -Ducking under a Hyper Beam, as his mons return fire- Keep moving forward, we need to neutralize this base as quickly as possible!
