Aspen: "I have some new moves for you!"

Arrokuda: <Oh nice! Hopefully there good moves.>

Arrokuda learned Liquidation, Psychic Fangs, and Poison Jab!

Yup, a bit more aggressive than the Kantonian and Alolan Meowths, also pure Steel-type.

-Mimic is continuing their usual tactic of trying to eat everything. Anthem does what she can to help-

Stormed Chaser

Lydia: <No! You can't do that!>

-The stone puppy physically interposes herself between the Mimikyu and the device, taking a lot of damage in the process-

Monos: <I will take that.>

-The tree pokemon snatches up the device and takes a defensive posture-

Monos: <Though... How does it work?>

Φ: <Toss a ball in it then just like a regular capture!>

-Gygax takes the initiative to grab a random pokeball (Luxury) from Pent's bag and with a small jump dunk it into the Snag Machine-

~Ding!~

Gygax: <'Ey, catch!>

-He ribbons the ball out of the device and flings it to Jammer who catches it between it's magnets-

Jammer: <Magnetic rail firing.>

-And with a sound of electrical discharge, the ball is sent flying at Pride faster than a regular throw-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Dave points him to his shunter-powered car.

Dave: We thought you were a goner, sir. The Signaljammers took Captain Macraul hostage and forced him to defect. And with you gone, the defeat felt even more humiliating than usual. We may have gotten some intel data out of it but come on! I don't think losing a capital ship was worth that!

Evelyn: It's such a pleasure to meet you.

-Evelyn looks over at the sleeping Wooloo.-

Evelyn: Is that...?

-Evelyn goes to check her Pokédex using telekinesis. The picture shown on the 'Dex is of a normal Wooloo.-

Evelyn's Pokédex: Wooloo, the Sheep Pokémon. A Normal type. Its curly fleece is such an effective cushion that this Pokémon could fall off a cliff and stand right back up at the bottom, unharmed. If its fleece grows too long, Wooloo won't be able to move. Cloth made with the wool of this Pokémon is surprisingly strong.

Evelyn: This Wooloo's wool is black... Does that mean it's a Shiny Pokémon?

Arthur gave Olivia a nod, "I'll get in contact once it's ready."

Silas coughed and sputtered for air as he rubbed his neck as Knight was struck with the throat chop, Knight at least being quick enough to guard against the bubble beam with his shield.

"I'm not a Knight in shining armor Changeling. I'm a Black Knight, a foreboding omen, a sign of death."

Silas took a deep breath, "Okay, just gotta dig through my arsenal of moves."

"It's a lot of physical attacks, you're a physical kind of guy."

"You don't need to remind me, I already know because you're me."

"It's more entertaining this way."

Silas sighed and then recalled, "Okay. Let's do it this way."

Knight let out a low rumbling laugh as he resummoned his sword, the blade flickered now, coated with a dark ethereal aura that seemed to sap the life out of everything around it.

"You know the moveset of the Lucario is pretty broad-"

"I'm more a riolu-"

"You're using moves I know, I'm counting Lucario for now... so. I have some fun ones lined up... first up, Shadow Claw."

Knight swung right for Shadow Robinson with the shadowed blade.

Stormchaser, December 2019

-the wires don't seem to do a lot, but they're remarkably resilient-

-apparently, PEFE!Every shops at the same store of every Pokemon movie villain ever-

PEFE!Every: ...I suppose that's to be expected.

-she heads to her lab bench, and begins fiddling with various chemicals and bottles that appear to be...just, there-

PEFE!Every: Please, Carna. If you have any information that will help me here, I would love to hear it.

Outside the Pokemon Lab, yesterday

Brie: So that's your starter?

Ever: Yeah. His name's Oracle.

-they hold up their arm, which Oracle is crawling around on-

Oracle: <Greetings.>

Brie: Hi!

Oracle: <Does she understand me too?>

Ever: We all do. Except possibly Zebub.

Zebub: <Scorbunny's a good pick for you, Ever. You don't have very many Fire-types, and it fills an important typing niche.>

Oracle: <...Right.>

Brie: Hey, are you okay?

-she reaches out a hand to Oracle, who tilts his head in confusion, causing the tears running down his face to flow diagonally-

Oracle: <I'm fine.>

Brie: Ever, he's crying.

Oracle: <I have a condition. Don't anthropomorphize me.>

Brie: Uh, okay.

Wild Area, now

Ever: Well, this is...open.

Brie: You seem unimpressed.

Ever: I dunno. It's pretty, and all.

Oracle: -crawling onto Ever's head- <That Lucario looks pretty close.>

Ever: Relax, Brie's here.

Brie: You can bodyguard yourself.

Ever: Do it for the kids, Brie.

Brie: ...Ugh.

PEFE!Every: There is a greater variance of both species and stage than one would normally expect. Ordinarily, stronger Pokemon tend to cluster into certain locations. There are essays about this and how it affects societal development, but the phenomenon appears at least partially recessive here.

Brie: ...Well, okay then.

Ever: ...Right. Well, uh.

-they eye the Lucario, which is very close-

Ever: Scramble, go scare it off.

Scramble: <:/>

Ever: Oh, come on, you've got this. She's a Fighting-type.

Scramble: <:S>

Ever: You don't have to.

Scramble: <:V>

Brie: Still not talking, huh?

Ever: I don't think it's a feature they offer? I'm just happy I've gotten them to start emoting.

Scramble: <:O>

-behind them, the Dreepy Swarm swirls agitatedly-

Ever: Yes, I have snacks.

Oracle: <Is this Dreepy going to be my partner?>

Ever: You bet.

-Oracle peers closely. While Scramble doesn't acknowledge him, several of the Dreepy Swarm do, flitting around him curiously-

Oracle: <...Hm.>

Brie: Mmmf. I haven't caught anyone new in years Holy fuck when did I become able to refer to spans of my life in years?. (to PEFE!Every) Are you planning to expand your team?

PEFE!Every: It depends on the distribution of research articles regarding the new region. I can probably persuade Dr. Tagg to let me handle one or two.

Brie: You only catch Pokemon you're researching?

PEFE!Every: Yes. What do you do?

Brie: Generally, I catch them whenever I find out about a new mon that fits my team.

PEFE!Every: I don't really have a "fits".

Brie: And you don't evolve your mons either. What's with that?

PEFE!Every: It's usually a matter of practicality. Smaller Pokemon are often more help in the lab. Can you imagine me trying to get my work done with a Reuniclus hovering around me?

Brie: ...I guess that's fair.

Cytosol: <Besides, this way I get to hide in her coat.>

Brie: Hi, Cytosol! I didn't notice you there!

Cytosol: (smugly) <Exactly.>

Skyfire: <I miss when I could do that.>

Brie: After you set my coat on fire the first time, the novelty kind of wears off.

Skyfire: (sheepishly) <Yes.>

Cytosol: <The tail thing, is that a myth?>

Skyfire: <It's putting the cart before the horse. The flame goes out if I die, not the other way around.>

Brie: Can we not be morbid for five seconds?

PEFE!Every: Oh, look at that Corviknight.

Brie: ...Is it eating—

PEFE!Every: I think that was a Mudbray.

Brie: Poor thing.

Skyfire: <Such is life.>

Cytosol: <And also death!>

Brie: What did I just say...

Ever: Anyway, they advertised the Wild Area as this great Pokemon experience, right? "See Pokemon as never before!" Which I'm sure it is, if you're a kid just leaving home. But it's not like I can't just let my team out wherever I want to play with them.

Brie: I don't think it really has to be attractive to you specifically. It's about doing something for the first time, and knowing you could never have done it before because of limitations you'd never questioned before. Like traveling off-route, or climbing ledges.

Ever: Or transing your gender.

-PEFE!Every, who is currently watching a Blipbug scurry around at her feet, holds up a hand absently for a high-five-

Brie: Or kissing girls, yeah.

-she holds up her other hand-

Amanita: Or biking where you're not supposed to? I don't know I couldn't think of anything good

Ever: Where did you come from?

Amanita: I was setting up a camp!

Kazekage: <And I was fighting a Diggersby.>

Ever: ...Why's he out?

Brie: I happen to agree.

Amanita: Needed to change things up?

Ever: But with him?

Kazekage: <Coward.>

Ever: And proud of it!

Amanita: Relax, he only attacks me, and only when I let him out.

Ever: Yeah, that's super relaxing.

Amanita: I've seen Breeze throw you higher into the air than is survivable.

Ever: ...That's different.

Amanita: How?

Ever: Moving on.

Brie: Anyway, I think it's more, like...if you're hypothetically someone seeing it for the first time, the Wild Area's probably pretty eye-opening about the wonder and splendor of the world beyond the gates of your town.

Ever: I guess. But as I'm not a video game protagonist leaving their generically-bucolic small town for a great adventure, I will remain unimpressed.

Brie: You're a joyless cynic.

Ever: (bleakly) Arf.

PEFE!Every: Are you both going to leave me hanging?

-Brie and Ever look down to see PEFE!Every still holding out both hands-

-...-

-they high-five her-

Wedgehurst, Like Probably A While Ago

Daydre and Rowan are standing at the edge of town, watching the sun rise. Leftover flecks of glitter from the wedding trail off Daydre's person.

"I feel... Behind."

Rowan: -Yawning- <Hey, since when do you wake up this early?>

"I think it might be time for a montage."

Rowan: <Did you hear what I just said?>

"Oh, yeah. I didn't wake up, I've been awake for upwards of 30 hours."

Rowan: <Wait, w

Montage Time

Rowan: <B

Montage Time- Sonia's Lab, Further In The Past

Daydre leaves the premises with a sulky looking Scorbunny riding her shoulders. Sonia watches her leave with a smile and some mild concern. Rowan follows behind her with a similar expression.

Wild Area, In The Past

Daydre is alternately enjoying the scenery and making curry while the Scorbunny (now named Kazma) is busy bickering with a random Budew. And then an Onixpops out of the aether and it is time to run-

Motostoke, Registration, In The Past

"What do you mean I need a sponsor??"

Registration Worker: "Ma'am, did you read anything about this league before deciding to start it?"

Daydre holds up her finger, lowers it, and then leaves, defeated.

Motostoke, Registration- Exactly Five Minutes Later

Daydre returns, brandishing her phone, upon which is displayed the slightly obfuscated ruling on the league website that there are a limited amount of non-sponsored challengers allowed per year.

The Registration Worker claps with all the sarcasm they're allowed in their 9-to-5 customer service job.

Motostoke, The Past

Daydre leaves wearing a league uniform with the number 13 emblazoned on the back, and another fancy new key item wristband.

Rowan: <So why'd you choose 13?>

"Iunno. It's a cool number? Bad luck, it's the fake birthdate I use whenever websites ask for it."

Rowan: <Huh. I feel like invoking bad luck might be a bad idea?>

Daydre shrugs.

"Eh, it'll probably be fine. Kinda wish this uniform were a different color though, white stains super easy..."

Route 3, Closer To The Present

Rolycoly: <Please'm, the foreman'll have my arse if I don' deliver my quota!>

Daydre tilts her head, befuddled. Kazma grips her head harder to keep from slipping off his position on her shoulders.

"I didn't know people talked like that..? Also do child labor laws apply to Pokemon?"

Kazma: <...They don't, dunno what's up with this bugger. And ask someone else about that other one.>

Rolycoly: <Take me wit' you, please!>

Daydre, still confused, taps him with a Pokeball.

Galar Mine, Even Closer To The Present

Daydre and co. are taking a leisurely stroll through the mines. Daydre decides to call the Rolycoly Bartholomew, Bartholomew eats a rock, Kazma, against his better judgement, imitates him and starts choking, Daydre very quickly has to figure out how to perform the heimlich on a one foot tall rabbit creature. Fun times!

Turffield, Now

Rowan: <-ut>

<...>

<???>

"... And we're done!"

Rowan: <I'm scared to ask how you invoked that.>

"I didn't. Honestly was not expecting that to do anything."

Kazma: <Invoked what?>

Rowan: <The.. The montage?>

   Bartholomew:    <Izzat one of those foods only rich people eat?>

"Oh no, a montage is like a series of short scenes that are arranged to make it seem like time is passing."

Rowan stares at the ground, defeated. He's not entirely sure by what.

Viridian City, Hotel MMO Space:

"We've still got a ways to go, but this is where things actually get interesting!" Travis said with a hint of growing enthusiasm as the party would find themselves finally leaving the cavern tunnel and being teleported a short distance into what appeared to be a stone hallway with occasional hieroglyphics depicting various water pokemon found out in the ocean. Interestingly enough despite the Submerged Citadel being completely underwater, the interior was rather dry, with only the scent of salt and ambient noise of current flowing around the Citadel reminding everyone where they were. There was the occasional wall-mounted torch which helped serve to highlight where the party was supposed to go.

"Always wondered who kept the torches lit, probably the random enemies that live in this citadel...for some reason. Expect the usual mons you'd find exploring any sort of ruins," Travis then told the S3 before leading the way through.

-the Styler shield protects against a lot-

-lightning strikes, high-velocity impacts, even direct blasts from Pokémon themselves-

-being grasped in an extremity, however, and wrenching up and down—that's a bit deleterious to the underlying structures-

Logan: -gritting teeth into a grin- wHhy, J Evil

-and Logan's Stylerin' arm is ripped clean off but they take the pain and face the future with a fierce confidence to match-

Honestly, I didn't expect to get this far.

-projecting- Brainstorm with me.

(Break the cycle.)

-looking around- (Convince him to fight, this looks bad.)

(Set him free!)

(Whoever brought him here's gonna be a problem.)

(He doesn't wanna be chained down, do what you did for us.)''

Say something real.

Logan: -mind racing- —bring them to me. While they remain your problem, they could bring you back into their loop—by making them ours instead, the chaos—

-grin, breathless- —the chaos will shield you. So many more lovely variables, all confounding, all weighted in your favor—we spin together through the chaos, and so we keep each other free. Yes, blast their efforts, and bring them to us.

Addie: -picking up the thread with a grin, as Logan starts issuing directions- <We'll join you, Jevil. The very first time that we'll break these fetters together—>

-Jevil's eagerness is reflected in their own faces-

Logan: -taking a bow- I'm thrilled. Pokémon—

-grin- GO.

-and acting on instinct, Phoebe and Deim Agilely zip through the fray, looking for anyone suitably evil-Trainerly or commanding-

-she takes the small nest of tears that's accumulated around her, and starts concentrating at it-

-...-

Megan: -from the sidelines- ...for me, it kinda helps if you kinda...

-gesturing indefinably- ...get the juice flowing, in your mind...? Picture, like...the flow.

Fraidy: -frowny-psychic-face- <...rrrrrgh...>

Pippy: -continuing his orbit demonstration, patiently- <Relax. You've got time.> ^v^

-...-

-back to Vee- <In the meantime, can we talk about the enemy thing? I think I kinda get it, except also probably kinda not really.>

Vee: <Oh, y'know! Like, there's the banter, an' the knowin' each other thin', down t'like the rhythm of the fight, an' the monologues an' the one-uppy an' all the wantin' to impress...>

Pippy: <...honestly, it just sounds like making enemies makes you—> •v•

Vee: -oscillating- <Aaaaugh! Shut UP—!!>

-and she tackles him-

-his claws being full, he naturally throws his flippers up and keeps most of a grip-

Byleth: -chewing on a sausage-

-...emphasis most-

-one Sobble-tear sails through the air, arcing high overhead—-

Fraidy: -fraidy- <oh no oh no>

-and plummeting to splat in the middle of a small crowd-

Megan: -raising a finger- —

-and with the punch of a hundred onions the tear bursts into a finely chopped mist-

Megan: -retracts the finger-

-[crying noises]-

Megan: -digs for a jacket to hide under-

Pippy, Vee: .^. ._

-and that's where they're, inadvisably, open for interaction-

Merlin: -suddenly near Daydre- That montage was impressive!

H. G. Cross: Yeah... say, what are you two doing here? I know there's SOME things of interest in this timeline but the last two... backfired. And I don't remember anything of concern in this region.

Motostoke Town

Brie: You didn't need to fight that Lucario.

Ever: It was good practice. Pef should have helped.

PEFE!Every: Your belligerence is your own problem.

Ever: It's hardly belligerence! She wanted a fight, I gave her one.

Brie: I'm still mystified as to how you won.

Ever: Well, it would be embarrassing to lose to a wild mon, wouldn't it?

Oracle: <Still. Your directions were fairly unexpected.>

Ever: Eh, that's what happens when you train with me.

Brie: I can't help but notice we left Amanita behind.

Ever: She had the right idea. I'm sure I saw a ghost back there...

Brie: Are you going to disappear into the Wild Area and become a hermit?

Ever: In all probability.

Brie: I'll admit to not objecting.

Ever: Rude.

Brie: Hey, have we lost Pef?

PEFE!Every: -sticking her head out from behind a tree- I'm fine. There are too many people here.

Brie: Oh, yeah, I get that...

Ever: Hey, come on, we gotta go register.

Brie: Ever, do you think she's going to have trouble with the challenge if she's not comfortable around a crowded street?

Ever: I've factored it into my schemes.

PEFE!Every: What are you two whispering about—

-Sobble tear-

Ever: Pef, why do you have your goggles on—

-oh-

Ever: ...I have regrets. ;_;

Brie: I could have died and nobody would have known. ;_; So many times. ;_;

Ever: Aaaaaa. ;_;

Oracle: <I don't know what you're talking about. This is fine.>

PEFE!Every: Oh, hey, that's Megan.

-she waves-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
