Chateau d'Avarice

-Changeling is buffeted by attacks, and its costume starts to show noticeable signs of wear. In frustration, its jaws light up with flame, and it rips away the webbing keeping it held in place.-

-With the webbing gone, Changeling rushes to retrieve its fluff, essentially combat-rolling into it. The Sand Tomb trails after it to keep it from completely escaping.-

Rose: We can't let it transform again!

Bluetongue Lizard: <Bah, I'm already doing what I can to stop it!>

Paula: Oh, fuck's sake, I've got this.

-Maui swings his fish hook by the chain, and throws it, hooking the Changeling and further ripping the fabric. However, it seems this isn't enough, as even within the hook, it finishes restitching itself into an armored Lopunny, which jumps up out of the hook's clutches and twirls into a fighting stance.-

Kaguya-hime!Changeling: <I won't lose to you!>

-Meanwhile, the sound of the ongoing fight upstairs gets a bit louder, or possibly closer.-

Saffron City (Evelyn)

Evelyn: 20 years ago? As in 20 years ago from today?

saffron city

Hazel: No, no. 20 years from January. I've been camping out in the wild area for most of this year.

Saffron City

Evelyn: From January? As in next month? So does that mean... you're from the... future?

saffron city

Hazel: No, January 2019. I'm no time traveller.

Saffron City

Evelyn: Oh. That makes much more sense... I didn't know where I was going with that...

Kako: <You rarely do.>

Mirai and Axon: <You're one to talk!>

-Kako facepalms-

Simon: -breaks down laughing-

Hatty: -smacks face into Evelyn's head- <Every day, in every way, I'm Surrounded by Idiots...>

saffron city

Sapphy: Ah, yes, it always seems to be that way...

Hazel: So, are you like, a brains and brawn type duo?

Saffy: Hey! I'm not stupid! I'm just not a reclusive genius like my sister!

Saffron City

Evelyn: So Sapphire is the reclusive genius of the duo? What does that make you, Saffron?

saffron city

Saffy: I'm the one who provides the motivation, and forces Sapphy to go outside and talk to people.

Sapphy: ...

Saffron City

Evelyn: So that would make Saffy and introvert, and you an extrovert. Am I getting this right?

saffron city, past

Sapphy: Most likely.

Saffy: Well duh!

Hazel: As for me, I'd consider myself an ambivert.

stormchaser, sometime

-Hazel wanders cautiously out of the ersatz closet.-

Hazel: Phew, I remembered. I wonder what to do now...

-She continues looking around.-

Viridian City, Hotel

About the moment he had muttered that, his party search request would yield a party of three, specifically a Meganium, a Tropius and an Amaura. The three were currently running around in the hub, seemingly having waited for a last member for their exploration.

Saffron City

Evelyn: Thank you. That makes a lot of sense.

-At that point, Evelyn receives a text from an unknown sender-

Evelyn: "World's under threat. All J-Team members to the Stormchaser now." WORLD'S UNDER THREAT?!

Chateau

Ariadne: -Antennae twitch- <Something's coming closer!>

Arachne: -Starts using thread like a harp-

Stormchaser, past

...Er, sorry to interrupt the heartfelt moment, but we need to act to face Izaya as soon as possible.

saffron city

Saffy: Wait, you guys are part of the j-team?!

Hazel: Well, I'm not. Are you?

Stormchaser

Hazel should spot a room where a very familiar voice is echoing around. He appears to be in conversation with someone.

Goober: Look, I prepared to wait how long it bloomin' takes. Just get me connected to Dolly. Over.

Agent on the other line: It's hard enough to stay in touch, not with this level of encryption. We can't make any promises that we'll keep in touch but stay tuned. We might get a message in through the Voice if they'd let us. Over.

Goober: Roger. Roger. Over.

The transmission stops, leaving behind a wake of otherworldly static.

Goober: Just my luck. A 2319 and we're stuck here until further notice. And of all the bloomin' times.

Ezra: We can't risk it. Stay close to Grip and her father. We should be able to wait it out until the next transmission from the Voice. I mean, it's not like we can do anything about it now. The J-Team itself is on high alert.

Saffron City

Evelyn: Neither am I... Heck, I didn't even know about the J-Team until recently...

Hatty: <But judging from the message... I'd say it's urgent...>

Evelyn: Likewise, Hatty...

-Evelyn tucks her phone away into her pocket-

Evelyn: Regardless... I say we go to the Stormchaser and find out what is going on. All in favor?

saffron city, past

Sapphy: Sorry, but we're not into all this fate of the world stuff.

Saffy: Come on, wouldn't it be great to play a part in saving the world? You could get famous!

Sapphy: I guess it's not our usual shtick, but alright.

Hazel: I was thinking of going there a bit later. I'll pass on saving the universe, but you guys can go if you want.

stormchaser

-Hazel hears a familiar voice.-

Hazel: What the- It couldn't be, could it?

-She goes into the room to investigate.-

Stormchaser

Hazel should encounter what appears to be two young men dressed in pilot outfits. Someone capable of reading auras would find something odd about the rotund black haired one.

The blond one looks pretty normal otherwise.

Blond pilot, without his prior Galarian accent: Oh, hello. What brings you here.

The blond pilot looks at Hazel. He seems to recognize something about her.

Blond pilot: You're not from around here, are you?

stormchaser

-Hazel adjusts her hat.-

Hazel: No, I'm not. Is it that obvious? I was just looking around the stormchaser to look for assistance with my predicament.

Stormchaser Raid Plan

Colton's Mindscape

"Kolemm is the son Aphrodite said he was looking for?" Smartass asked. "Arceus' unholy flank, how much did we miss?"

"How is that even possible?" Strategist asked.

"How did they even recognize him?" Realism followed up.

"Aw, shut up!" Talbain barked. "We shouldn't be mad at a reunion!"

Everyone eventually agreed.

Reality

Colton sighed, looking at the group hug with a look in his eyes that said he was experiencing it vicariously, albeit with some underlying confusion.

He continued staring as he stepped through the portal

Stormchaser

Blond Pilot: Well, it was just a lucky guess.

Blackhaired Pilot: Blondie here has mind-reading powers.

Blond Pilot: EZRA!

Ezra: Look, I don't need to read minds to recognize the situation here. That look on your face says it. You, just encountered someone from our timeline.

Stanford: Oh heck. I also know I can trust you.

He turns around and starts speaking in a Galarian accent.

Stanford: The name's Agent Goober. Welcome aboard. I'll let my other roommate know that we're expecting company.

Saffron City

Evelyn: I guess it's settled then.

-Evelyn looks over at Hazel-

Evelyn: Hazel...

-Evelyn tilts her head and smiles-

I'll see you around.

Chateau D'Avarice

-Nemean Lion Crunches again-

Julius: They're getting closer! We ought to do something!

Stormchaser Meeting

Rod: -to Tagg- Er, right. But first.

-The group turns to Multiman-

Dad... What are you doing here?

Dr. Multiman: I... Came to change. To fix things. I have to.

Laura: I believe you can dad!

Rod: ...As can I.

Aphrodite: -sighs- I see a bit of the old Ivo in you still, so I'm willing to lend you a hand. Just don't screw things up further.

Dr. Multimom: Glad someone got through that thick head of yours son.

Metal: <...If you truly want to help, I will fight alongside you. One last time.>

Dr. Multiman: ...Alright.

-By now almost everyone on the "hero" side I write for that needs to show up for the final battle is here-

Voyd: Oi! Listen to Tagg! Ultra Badlands was it?

-They open a portal-

Come on!

-They shift to Necrozma and float through. Everyone else follows-
