Fuscia

Alex: Vampire tree? Doesn't a comic or cartoon from around here have one of those? Anyway do you need it destroyed or something?

Angela

Iris: HON HON HO-

Coil: Shhhhh! Er, yeah, it's [ADDRESS], Angela, [ZIP CODE]

Hacks was explaining what he could of the arm to Dimitri and Byleth, Snakeye was doing better on that.

"Yeah that's not a hard area to reach, I'll get myself together and the Wing will be there in a few hours. See you soon," and with that he hung up.

"Seems we're entering Galar sooner than expected."

~Think we'll see... her?~

Silas turned paler than usual, the bagpipes could be heard playing in the background and memories of his first year out rumorhunting, his entrance into Galar and how quickly he left. He could hear her insults and screams.

"She might be better... it's been 7 years, she swore she'd be better than ever... Plus her dad is a pretty good guy. Interpol Special Response after all."

Hacks nodded, though the two felt very uncomfortable with the thought.

<Who are you talking about?> Byleth asked, confused to hell and back as to their cryptic comments.

Wild Area (Evelyn's Aventure)

Evelyn: How about the Kanto Region? I know this great place in Saffron City that I'm sure you might like! And I know you're going to ask about how we're going to get there...

-Evelyn looks up at the sky while walking-

Evelyn: And to be honest, I'm stumped.

-Evelyn walks right into a tree-

wild area

Hazel: Hey, are you alright?

-She walks over, but manages to trip on a pebble and fall into the tree.-

ersatz alliance

-...and fall out of a clothes rack. Her other pokemon follow behind.-

Hazel: Wait, what just happened?

Wild Area

Evelyn: -somewhat dizzy- Yeah, Hazel... I'm fine...

-Evelyn shakes her head to relieve the dizziness and notices that Hazel's not there-

Evelyn: H-Hazel? Hazel, where are you?

-Evelyn slips on the same pebble and falls backwards into the tree...-

Ersatz Alliance

-...and on Hazel, causing Hatty to fall off of Evelyn's head-

Evelyn: Hazel! There you are... Sorry about falling on you?

ersatz alliance

-Hazel picks herself up.-

Hazel: It's okay. I wonder where we are though...

Evo: Maybe it's some interdimentional thing or other, like the one you-

Hazel: Probably not. Now that you mention it, it does look a lot like the place mom used to talk about...

Ersatz Alliance (Evelyn's Adventure)

-Evelyn and Hatty pick themselves up and Hatty jumps back onto Evelyn's head-

Evelyn: It looks like a department store... but a department store with an en-tree way I've never seen before...

ersatz alliance

Hazel: It certainly sounds... Intreeguing...

Bridger: <Shouldn't we stop focusing on tree puns and figure out how to get out of here?>

Ersatz Alliance (Evelyn's Adventure)

Evelyn: Bridger's right. And not to sound like I'm going out on a limb here, but I think our first priority should be finding out where we are and what this place is called, first.

ersatz alliance

-A Phantump walks past, holding a bag of pokemon food and a can of soup.-

Hazel: Um, excuse me?

Danny: <Oh hey there Kat!>

Hazel: Who?

-The Phantump turns around.-

Danny: <Oh, sorry, you sounded like someone my sister knows.>

Bridger: <Of course, this is what happens when we all say tree puns.>

Ersatz Alliance

Evelyn: Oh, how cute!

-Evelyn levitates her Pokédex out of her pocket-

Evelyn's Pokédex: Phantump, the Stump Pokémon. A Grass and Ghost type. According to legend, medicine to cure any illness can be made by plucking the green leaves on its head, brewing them, and boiling down the liquid. It is also said in legends that Phantump are stumps possessed by the spirits of children who died while lost in the forest.

Evelyn: My name is Evelyn Sapphira Promeneau, but you can just call me "Evelyn". What's your name?

ersatz alliance

Danny: <My name is Daniel Beaufort, but everyone calls me Danny.>

Evo: <I think I used to know a Danny...>

Danny: <So, what brings you here?>

Ersatz Alliance (Evelyn's Adventure)

Evelyn: My friend Hazel and I were wondering where we are and how we can get to Saffron City from here?

ersatz alliance

Danny: <Sorry, I'm not sure about that one. Maybe just try random stuff? The ersatz alliance is pretty confusing.>

Hazel: Oh yeah, that was what it was called.

Evo: <Ah, I remember perfectly! Everyone follow me!>

-Evo strides confidently into a pile of clothes...-

-...and comes out a few seconds later covered in snow.-

Evo: <Maybe not.>

Ersatz Alliance

Evelyn: Thanks, Danny. Now...

-Evelyn looks over at a nearby clothing rack-

Evelyn: I think it might be this way.

Hatty: <I don't think this is a good idea, Evelyn.>

Evelyn: What makes you say that?

-Hatty jumps off of Evelyn's head as she goes through the clothing rack-

Evelyn: Hatty?

Sootopolis Gym

-Evelyn falls into the swimming pool-

Gym Trainer A: What was that?

Gym Trainer B: Probably another trainer... We get them a lot.

-Evelyn climbs out of the pool-

Evelyn: Easy there, Evelyn... You're not that kind of witch...

Ersatz Alliance

-Evelyn returns through the clothing rack, soaking wet-

Evelyn: Wrong clothing rack.

ersatz alliance

Hazel: Maybe this closet...

-Hazel goes into a closet.-

stormchaser

-Hazel comes out of a closet.-

Hazel: Nope. Where the heck even is this?

ersatz alliance

-Hazel comes back out of the closet.-

Hazel: Not this one. Just some airship or other.

Susan tossed Colton a simplified pDroid which had a list of things studied in zero g, such as plants, hydroponics, radiation, metallurgy, and so on. Turns out things reacted differently with a lack of gravity upon them.

The room was gigantic to enter, the bulb window displaying a webbed view of space around them, in the center there was a holographic cube denoting the arena's battlegrounds... despite the lack of ground to battle in.

The walls and windows were clearly reinforced, and a infinity zone generator could be seen at the center of the "floor" of the room, making sure that any moves used wouldn't damage the ring itself. It was quite the sight, Bishop smirked as best as he could.

"Welcome to the ring, how good are you all at operating within 3 dimensions of battle while accounting for recoil?"

Silas entered the labs, followed by Roxy, "Hey, what do you need?"

Standing there was, David, with Paul and Joseph.

"David? What the hell are you doing here?"

"Getting the last of the old stuff purged from my systems. Punch and Judy are here cause they got a fancy new toy for you."

Silas looked very worried, the two were brilliant certainly but they're idea of "Fancy" had ended up tossing him into another universe last time, "Oooookay..."

Punch smirked, "Oh don't worry, this time we're not bending time and space around us... plus you have to admit the micro-holes are useful for reducing lag in long range communication."

"Their use does not undo the fact that I got tossed into another dimension and that Zeke had to put a big old halt on any further teleportation experiments. We're space explorers after all, teleportation is a dangerous game."

"Still, just look at what we have," Judy said pulling up a design on the main screen of the lab.

It looked like a thruster, but with the emitter strips of the Grav generator from his ship, Silas blinked, and then grinned.

Ersatz Alliance (Evelyn)

Evelyn: Wait... Did you say... "airship"?

Space Hotel Persephone, Zero-G Battle Arena (Ian)

-Ian looks around in wonder at the arena, psyching himself up for his first friendly Pokémon Battle in Space-

Me: I've had a little experience, but that was during a raid on the Mobius Society's Multidimensional Mobile Base and it wasn't for too long. I can learn as I go.

ersatz alliance

Danny: <That's probably the stormchaser.>

Hazel: The Stormchaser? You mean the j-team's airship?

Persephone Lobby

Looking over the list on the p-droid - which he caught via illusory hand - a few subjects caught his interest, and he nodded understanding.

"Makes sense," he said, placing the pDroid on the desk before walking off as best he could to the arena.

He could spectate, at least.

Cassandra materialized, taking a step before her feet lost contact with the ground.

"I'll be fine," the Unovan dissuaded before continuing the walk, returning the Absol.

Ersatz Alliance

Evelyn: Can you take us to where you found it, Hazel?

ersatz alliance

Hazel: Sure, it was just through here.

-She wanders back through the closet, the rest of her mons follow.-

stormchaser

-Hazel and her mons arrive out of a closet.-

Ersatz Alliance

-Evelyn and Hatty follow Hazel through the closet-

Stormchaser

-Evelyn and Hatty leave the closet-

Evelyn: Wow... So this is the Stormchaser?

Logan: -perking back up- Excellent!

-Addie blinks in surprise at Alyssa's bit of...Monese??, and lights up-

Addie: <I think your words sound nice! Excellent pronunciation!> :>

-she sagely pats Alyssa's finger-

-that grin Logan can't seem to stifle returns, and they

Logan: -bright- There's more to discuss, of course, but we'd be happy to have you on board!

-digging a...business card? from their pocket?? and passing it via their free hand- Anytime you're ready, give me a call, and I can introduce you to my coworker. My friend.

-grin- My life's in her hands, and she handles a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff. She can help sort out the rest of the uncertainties.

Abilene: -baffled- What? Why would I destroy it?

-pacing- What I am—was—attempting to do is—capture, create—

-frustrated gesture- —a source of Aura. The spark that gives rise to Life.

-exhale, between her teeth, gesturing vaguely upwards (at the glow?)- This is all—taken. The well is gone. But if I haven't succeeded here, then perhaps I can study this, learn what it fails to seize. Why it won't grow one...

-the tree shudders (in the wind, it's just the wind), and Natu and Gastly alike screech away from its branches-

-and it settles, and there's a pause, and they resume kicking the shit out of each other for real estate in its boughs-

(-some Oddish, buried in the ground, pop their little heads out and scurry between Alex and Abilene's legs, headed elsewhere-)

-exasperated- —do you know how few are even think to nurture a Leech Seed to any real stage of—nevermind.

-sigh- Give me your name.

Rosa: -idly- <And why you don't sound like a living human.>

Viridian

-Alyssa beams-

Alyssa: I'm glad! I am... available mostly always, honestly, my job at PEFE is not actually a job, it's just helping my girlfriends with their job and also living with them, so any day you're not Busy, I can be free! Even if it turns out to be right now— uhh not that I want to rush you if you have a thing you need to be doing!!!

-You can feel the Trying Really Hard radiating off of her, along with the admiration of this really professional seeming person who is also a foot shorter than her-
