Upon hearing Pent's response he goes a little wide-eyed.

He clears his throat. "Yes, well. Thank you Pent. Nice trick you have there."

He bids Pent farewell then turns to leave.

"Yeah, I guess it is nice. Let's go enjoy the rest of the faire..."

He seems distant.

He fired a slightly electrified web at her, strength comparable to a taser.

Castelia, Ren's Apartment

-Ren is currently frying eggs for himself and Cambria as she eats a bowl of Sitrus berries.-

Ren: How do want your eggs? Over hard? Sunny side up? I can make yours Benedi—

-Cambria's complexion suddenly pales and she runs out of the kitchen. Ren has an inkling of what is going when he hears some retching sounds in the distance.-

Ren: Ohhhhh dear.

-A flushing sound is heard and a minute later Cambria staggers back into the kitchen.-

Cambria: Ugghhhhhh what is wrong with me?

Ren: I think this what is known as "morning sickness".

Cambria: What is that? And why do I think I will already hate the answer?

Ren: It means that you are about half-way through your first trimester. In other words, I believe it's time to see a doctor.

Cambria: ... ... ... I hate human biology sometimes.

Ren: Yep. I think just about every human has thought or said that exact same sentence at least once in their lives.

Stephanie: Okay, lemme get this straight. You and your dad are hiding Tobi from some hunter as a favor for Tommy Petersen because the corporation that, erm, made him wants him and his weirdly colored buddies back. That does explain why you have Tobi with you, and holy shit you're a cop.

Thierry: That's the gist of it, yes. And, you're saying that we entered a weird interdimensional eldritch department store that sells quirky items made by the mews that need to be acquired by some sort of challenge, and one of those items is an armband that can transmute humans and pokémon into each other forms at will. And your father buys clothes here because he is a lycanthrope and tears his clothes.

Stephanie: Yep.

Thierry: And here I thought he was a nudist.

Stephanie: We get that a lot and we kinda just roll with it.

Thierry: This wouldn't be the last weird thing I've heard, nor is it the first. People have had strange reports of missing stores that all seem to have the same thing. And now you've solved that case for me... and I don't think I could ever close it.

Stephanie: Yeah, it happens. Usually you'd have to be J-Team level weird for it to happen to you, but my dad worked in Pokefutures—you know, in the 2000s before they discovered that they were an evil MegaCorp. That's actually where he got it. Oh, I can't believe I'm leaking all this information to you.

Tobi: <It's okay, you can trust him.>

Stephanie: Thanks, Tobes. And now, onto business. I figured out how to hide him.

Thierry: Okay, you're not thinking—

Stephanie, holding an armband: This one looks the least likely to go out of style. I should know that getting the right style is important, lest your pokémon look really tacky. My ancestors were ghost types; getting their armbands usually transformed them back into their old selves but wearing impossibly tacky retro outfits. Also, daddy and I tend to do our fair share of challenges every time we need to go shopping here, so do be prepared for it.

Thierry: Wha— of course. Of course this place doesn't accept money.

Stephanie carefully places the armband over the spinarak—who at once turns into this 17-year-old young male wearing everyday teenager clothes... and more than a slight passing resemblance to his trainer... or a younger version of that guy from the Pleasantville movies.

Thierry was dumbstruck. What just happened here? Tobi also had that unmistakable expression of "what the fuck" written on his now human face.

Stormchaser, post-postraid

Byleth: -all alone, draws to a halt in an empty hall-

-and something crawls from her eye socket-

-something wreathed in the shadow of ages past elsewhere, phantom fractal phenomena filling its face, folding inward and onward and onceward past the place where infinity goes to be born-

-something shattered and sealed and slumbering, shooting shivers spineward simply standing, strangely sidereal-

-someone, a pulsing shade of what once will have been, retaining a presence that carries with it, always, the shape of a throne hewn from the first stones to cool out of a sun's accretion disc, clanging like the coffin lid in a holy tomb-

-one would need to be utterly mad to entertain even the thought of tangling one's optic nerve within such a being-

Cubone!Byleth: -blink- <Sothis.>

Sothis: -glancing about- <My, this is a mess you've found ourselves in.>

<You look adorable, by the way.>

Cubone!Byleth: -gesture- <Can you send us back?>

Sothis: <...hrm.>

<My power has never waned this far, even in my long sleep. And yet I remain, awake and alive.>

-singsong- <The air tastes of metal and sparks. Numbers and letters unknown, all dancing out of time.>

-shrug- <Not to say I couldn't manage something, but I haven't met the gods here. What if they're inhospitable?>

-frown- <I'd so hate to sit through an awkward tea service.>

-Byleth pages through their dialogue trees for an appropriate response-

Cubone!Byleth: <Fuck.>

Sothis: -gasp- <Language!>

<What would your students say if they heard you setting such a poor example? Once-mercenary or no, you are my unchosen vessel, and you will comport yourself accordingly.>

Cubone!Byleth: -long-suffering, pointed silence-

-which, as it ever has, goes companionably unacknowledged by the entity in front of her-

Cubone!Byleth: <What if this ends everything?>

Sothis: -solemn- <...if Fodlan destroys itself in our enforced absence, heads will roll.>

Cubone!Byleth: -...nod-

-there's another, rather more desolate silence that stretches out in the dark-

Sothis: -flick of a "hand"- <Nevertheless!>

<Don't you have work to do? Teaching your class how to survive, as ever. It's a strange new world!>

-frown- <Chop chop! Me's a-wasting!>

Cubone!Byleth: -blink- <I need to set up a learning schedule before everyone gathers again.>

Sothis: -beaming- <Precisely!>

Cubone!Byleth: -sideward glance- <Learn about the various people of this world. They seem so diverse, but we did see humans elsewhere.>

-paw to chin- <What is this place? What are its rulers, its people like? Why do we have these forms? What can we accomplish, with them?>

-Byleth nods once again, resolute, taking a few steps down the hall, head brimming over with more and more questions to answer for everyone-

Cubone!Byleth: -pausing- <...Sothis.>

<Thank you.>

Sothis: -warmly- <But of course! You'd be simply hopeless without me.>

Cubone!Byleth: -smile-

-Beat-

Cubone!Byleth: <You should find something to wear.>

Mimikyu!Sothis: <Yes, the quantum is a bit nippy, is it not?>

Cubone!Byleth: -shrug-

-with that, Sothis crawls back into Byleth's skull, and Byleth begins looking for somewhere to fish for dinner-

Stormchaser, Daydre and Gabe (Dabe)

Logan: -nod, to Daydre- And we'll have to trust you on that.

Well, here's my contact information, in case anything goes wrong.

-and they hand Gabe a business card with the Ranger logo on it-

-after a bit of consideration, they offer it to Daydre as well-

Megan: According to my research—

-muttering- —for an essay I wrote in fifth grade—

Pippy: -constructing something ethereal, murmuring- <I'm cutting that.>

Megan: -holding back a laugh, badly- —th-the origin of the Hidden Moves is...hidden, but theories go that they were first produced nonprofit by a rogue outpost collaboratory branch of Silph Co. and distributed to select individuals along an established League route.

-twirling, holding the Dex like a microphone in her hands- In any case, the techniques enshrined in the Hidden Machines were taken from top-top-percentage template mons, experts in their fields. Immensely versatile, even better specialized, unparalleled efficiency—with a little digging, typically. They built them to last, because they invested so much in what went into them. It was a labor of love.

Vee: <psssst>

Megan: -blink-

Vee: <you're editorializing>

<this is a science log>

Megan: -going red- Uh. Yeah.

-rubbing the back of her neck- Um...science.

-turn- Three of these fit in a similar category of "inhospitable-environ transport moves"—Dig, Fly, and Dive.

-turn- Well, technically, Dig was never a Hidden Move, and thus may not possess all the same properties, but if you look at it—studies show it's pretty similar.

-shrug, to an invisible audience- But an odd quirk included in a fold of the technical template is the ability to use these moves even when there isn't any dirt, deep water, or sky available.

It's weird and unintuitive enough that most people don't notice, and it's not especially reliable, and it doesn't allow you to phase through walls so much as...

-carefully- ...it sticks you in a temporary, closely-bounded pocket of the relevant element, with a gate back to stuff that exists about where you entered. With a bit of effort, apparently the entrance can be shifted along the entry surface, a little ways.

It's weirdly energy-intensive for moves of this type, and doesn't usually accomplish much more than a bit of respite in a tight spot.

But it leads into the purpose of this experiment.

-With the tent clear of customers for the moment, Pent tried to clear his mind and meditate-

Hm... Where am I getting this all today?

-His eyes snapped open briefly as he heard a laugh, his own? His thoughts were too messy to get a clear read on whether he just laughed-

I wonder if I have... Hm...

-Real magic..? He perhaps more than anyone in this world knew not to rule anything out. He found himself idly drawing stars with his finger on the cloth of the work surface-

-He'd have to test this sometime... After all, October was approaching...-

Renfaire, 100-Man

Hm! Brave choice dear Knight. Let's see if it pays off.

-These Obscuraformed pokemon were a little weak, as to be expected of one sixth of Pent's safe allowance of aura usage. Let's handle their actions each in turn:-

-Faced with Byleth, the Lycanroc using a sword in the old Ransei fashion lunged in with teeth bared and still trying to deliver Crunches and Bites-

-The Ursaring was a little more solid than the other two, but in exchange it moved with swaying, imprecise lumbers that assisted it's deliverance of a Feint Attack-

-And the Noctowl, almost ethereal as it's construct body rippled in the wind, dived down with claws ready, looking to Thief away something it can use...-

Stormchaser Arena

Well, I guess... Sure, I'm up for doubles.

-Pent slung his bag off his back and began rummaging in it for pokeballs. Seems he doesn't keep them on his belt...-

Sam blinked at Dale and just turned around and left, hitting a intercom to talk to the manager, leaving Dale and Jak alone.

"Excellent work," Obelisk noted

Aw, no use of fancy illusions. Seems your being smart today, said the Pen.

"Our allies have entered the building. They'll be headed to Floor 21 and Floor 22 to investigate. Accessing feeds now, are you ready you two? We're entering into the crunch zone."

With everyone on board, Jackal hit the button and let the elevator go up, "Hayon what do you see?"

~People, mons, spread out across the building... I see Nightingale and Gaia up near the top.~

Jackal nodded and adjusted the case on his back, "We're ready if we need to call them in."

~I don't se... wait, someone just vanished.~

"Vanished?"

~Cut off, their aura just went poof. There's a jammer somewhere in this building hiding them.~

Jackal grunted, "Makes sense. Okay we're splitting up into teams, we'll converge on the location once it's found. Fox is with me and Suiko. Avenger you'll take Phantom, Vulpecula, and Taipain. Aura sight and mons are our advantage here. And if anyone needs to knock out a guard or a worker for any reason, make sure to hide them somewhere safe."

The elevator stopped, "We're here."

Renfaire - Colosseum

Byleth ducked under the Lycanroc and attempted to stab it in its center.

Wayne flew high and avoided the Feint attack as best it could.

And Hacks charged a aura sphere and tossed it right at the face of the Noctowl.

At the mention of needing to incapacitate people, Lamb held her forefinger out, a flare upon it. With a little work it adopted the dimness of a Confuse Ray, and it soon began to orbit her wrist, ready to be used whenever.

She hid behind the door, unsure if she'd be less than conspicuous, but she eyed the second described group, a little nervous about being around Jackal.

Not even looking at the 'balls he grabbed, Colton threw two forward.

One disappeared the moment it left his fingers, Minerva subsequently appearing and hiding behind his leg. Colton nodded, as did Pyukumuku, who had appeared. Thinking for a brief moment, he threw an Ultra Ball, from which a Metagross touched down, staring down Pent.

Pyukumuku held a hand up when Magnavox looked at her, telling him that Colton would say what to do when.

Minerva, feeling a little more nervous, stayed behind Colton's leg and adopted a Purrloin's form.
