Tommy, stuttering voice: Pokefutures?! And did you just call me "whistleblower"?

Jon was right all along.

Brel, floating in: I never doubted Halliburton for a second. These malevolent minions have managed to have their slimy tentacles around [Europe] for some time now. And it is humorous to think that the first Pokefutures crimelord out in the open happens to have tentacles. Kind of like Dr. Octillery, but as a woman, really.

Tommy:Weren't you supposed to be with them?

Brel: Someone has to guard you, Thomas. What? You're not some superhero who can take on two supervillains.

Tommy: Okay, that actually hurt.

Brel: Who do you think you are? [MacGyver]? Leave this load of shit to Arachna-Guy or the Aurabolts.

Tommy: Do tell.

Somewhere on Akala island

-Saffy and Sapphy are lounging on giant rubber rings in a swimming pool.-

Sapphy: Ahh, I've needed a good vacation for ages.

Saffy: Yeah, that last heist was a blast!

Sapphy: It's always nice when things don't get interrupted.

Saffy: I guess having a hypno squid helps a lot!

Saffy: Luckily for you he's in his pokeball. If he wasn't you'd be calamari right now.

-As the doors open up, the maid lets out the slightest echoey squeak of surprise before Paula grabs her by the mask, yanks it off, and kicks her through the doorway.-

Paula: Let's go!

-She rushes in as the maid's form bursts into a spray of darkness, changing from a humanoid form to one reminiscent of a jet-black Noctowl. Rose prepares to close the door as soon as everyone else is in.-

Maid(?) Night Owl: <How rude!>

The Eerie Depths of Macraul Manor

An undersized wimp of a combusken is sitting on a perch in Gaspard's bedroom. It is thinking to itself how fortunate it was that the torchic line was diurnal.

Their sleep, however, was interrupted by the sound of an umbreon entering through a doggy door and leaves a note near the perch.

Darwin: <Sir, your cousins appear to have invited the J-Team over.>

Gaspard, groggy: <What of it?>

Darwin: <This appears to be rather peculiar a revenge scheme. Openly inviting the J-Team to the property belonging to a family they've come into conflict with.>

Gaspard jumps down and reads the note.

Gaspard: <I wouldn't call these wretches "heroes," though. Do any of you think it would be funny if I dressed up as a J-Teamer for the event?>

Some of the other umbreon in the room, who were there this whole time, did whatever equivalent they could of shrugging. Darwin spoke up.

Darwin: <Your mother will not like that at all.>

Gaspard: <You're probably correct. No one ever understands my brand of humour.>

The flyer is retrieved. The names are recognized. The burn is recalled.

The decision is reached.

The invitation is not rejected.

Stormchaser, Room 713, 30 minutes later

Fabric, foam and paper is strewn about the room, some Pokemon turned human working on cutting up the materials needed for their costumes, which they had decided on.

A gray-haired girl had a gleam in her eyes, eyeing the karaoke machine in the corner.

Two redheads browsed images on a laptop.

Chateau d'Avarice

Rage and Love removed his blindfold, panting heavily as Mercury appeared and howled in an attempt to get a little fire in the party's belly before raining down a Stone Edge.

Colton's right hand leaves his pocket, revealing Xatu who drags the backpack with him, also raising a Reflect. The open backpack releases Rei, who claps a Fake Out, Sylveon, who raises a Light Screen, and Magnavox, who simply shares in Colton's panic.

Outside the Chateau

-Mona's eyebrow twitches as he senses the security level spike again.-

Mona: What in the name of Yveltal's most cursed dirty laundry are they doing in there?!

Director: "Yveltal's most cursed dirty laundry"?

-Ignoring Director, Mona summons Zorro and attempts to contact as many of the Stealth and Recon team as possible-

Mona: -through the link- What are you doing in there!? The security level is way too high for stealth.

Cipher Chateau

Sorry, a little busy Mona! In combat right now, Paula pulled one of the maids.

-The book in Rakash's hands becomes a flurry of pages for a moment before settling on an image of Night Owl-

Okay guys this is...

-He stares at the bestiary page some more-

This is the Northern Shadow, an... Huh... Okay this is interesting I need to read this more but just know it's powerful, ancient and might be a Glitch we never encountered.

-Lily Thane's smile only grows wider as her phone sparks and shuts off-

Lily: Always carry an emergency whistle, just in case someone grabs your phone.

-Faster than anyone really expected of a woman of her age, Lily Thane pulls a small orange plastic whistle from her handbag and blows it sharply-

Lily: J-Team in the base, J-Team in the base!

-The cobalt Magnemite by her side unleashes an undirected blast of electricity to cover Lily Thane's escape from the situation-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Halsei: <...Now I don't even feel bad about having done that. If anything, I should have added more power to it.>

They seem moreso annoyed by this than anything, but opt to try and Protect against the attack.

Halsei: <At least now I get to show off some new tricks I've been picking up.>

Luca: "Did we ever figure out if your clothes work with Evo?"

Lydia: <If it doesn't you owe me two new outfits.>

Lita rolls under the electricity as C falls into the wall.

Lita: "So much for stealth..."

Hoping her comrades slowly Lily Thane down, she rushes forward and tries to iaijutsu Lily with the back of her blade.

C stands himself back up and gathers a pitiful amount of obscura in his hand. He fires the equivalent of a "Dandouken"; a very small, weak, slow moving projectile, at the retreating Lily.

Paula: Come on, the security was ticking up anyway, and I'm not the one who turned "it's halloween, we're being festive" into "there's a surprise party that nobody knows about"!

Rose: Just shut up and fight.

-She pulls her mask off, and Bluetongue manifests.-

Paula: Fine, fine. Let's get this dead.

-She takes off her own sunglasses. Unlike before with Maui, she closes her hand around them, as if closing a book.-

-And then an actual book with incomprehensible writing opens in her hand, surrounded by a swarm of Unown in every script known and unknown to humanity.-

Paula: Necronomicon, let's do some trial and error.

Rose: Are you fucking kidding me?

-She snaps, and a lattice of electricity dances around the Unown cloud before launching a Hidden Power pulse at the now-identified Northern Shadow.-

-It, the Ice Beam, the Scratch, the Water Gun, and the Stone Edge all manage to make contact, although none seem to sting any more than usual.-

-However...-

Rose: Alright, then. Give it an Assurance.

Bluetongue Lizard: I'll smack 'em right out of the sky!

-With a wave of the palm, a clawlike construct slaps right where the Stone Edge made contact, and the Northern Shadow reels. It hits the ground, but picks itself back up.-

Northern Shadow: <Rrgh, you'll pay for that!>

-The Northern Shadow beats its wings, sending a series of Sonic Booms at the party.-

Mobius Mobile Base, Conference Room, VS Izaya, La? And Merlin?

Me: Easy there, Piku-chan! That's not the Merlin we knew... He looks like he's been Necrozmatized and is under Izaya's control!

-he crackles with lightning-

<Today, the lightning's gonna ride you!>

Ever: ...I'm going to veto that.

-and then extends that lightning into La's Psycho Cut, transforming the psychic wave into electricity-

-which is diverted away from the group, and up into Pleth, along with Piku-chan's Thunderbolt-

Pleth: <...Oh, good.>

-and the seeds on her back shine, as her tail rapidly regrows-

Pleth's Sp. Attack rose sharply!

Ever: If anyone has any spare electricity, I would appreciate it.

Pleth: <By which they mean I will.>

Ever: Well, yes. Pleth, keep Merlin down, and keep yourself functional.

-Pleth nods, and shines with light, as spectral vines burst from her back towards Merlin-
