/Duck/: >On it.
-Throughout the bunker the mysterious musak cuts out to be replaced by slightly less tinny announcement-
/PA/: Can all members of the Silas expedition please make your way to the armory? I repeat, all members of the Silas expedition please make your way to the armory for briefing, gearing and subsequent departure. Thank you
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

You're shivering. Are you afraid?
Forte: Aaaaaaaaaa why isn't it working!
Shadow: <I don't know.>
Forte: Well how am I supposed to stream if we can't get the camera running?
Shadow: <I don't know that either.>
-Forte hangs their head in despair-
Forte: Ugh, that's it. I bet they're revoking my sponsorship right now.
Eevee Kid: Why?
Forte: Because the site is the one that was sponsoring my gym challenge. That's it, run over, sponsorship cancelled, there's probably a member of site staff on the way to murder me right now.
Shadow: <You're panicking.>
Eevee Kid: I'll sponsor you!
Forte: I'd like to, but uh, it doesn't really work that way.
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Me: <An announcement that all Silas Expedition members need to go to the Armory for... Something. I don't know what.>
Flying Colors
Stormchaser — Rosepoint
-For a moment, Rose tries to come up with a response to "hair's very... red" before just letting it pass.-
Rose: Yeah, uh. Drinks are appreciated. Definitely gonna need it.
-As Lucius enters, Scarlette waves.-
Scarlette: Hey, Luce.
Stormchaser — Echopoint
Echo: I will be fine. There is nothing significantly logically consequential about this, no matter the discomfort it's causing. Robinson took a cheap shot before she escaped, but the damage is minimal compared to the big picture.

Stormchaser, December
-To Echo-
...I don't need my emotion reading powers to tell me that you're trying to deflect.
Hulbury, today
-Hanging around the entrance to the mine-
Guess it's time to finally move forward. Like, I could just take the train, but that's just boring.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Channah: Another mine? - sighs- Fine, whatever.

"Slash 'em!"
Cotton raked his sword-like claws against Charizard's stomach.
Domino, meanwhile carefully drew back the arrow and aimed it up at an angle.
Motostoke
Des is around.
"Hulbury was neat and all, but I'm not quite ready for the gym."
Miz: <I think I'm close to evolving.>
"Let's hope!"
They may be approached.

-As usual there's a Gale around. At the moment she's scrolling through something on her phone that she's squinting at-
Okay. So I think I'm gonna need a transcript or to see this on a bigger screen cause these scans are messy...
-The slightly awkward middle-stage evo bird on her shoulder looks around, keeping an eye for threats-
Acolyte: <Mmmmm. It's that person again. The one that keeps turning up near you.>
-Gale glances up from her phone and gives Des a wave once she spots him-

At least it's a watery mine to cut the monotony.
-Nearby is what appears to be a Poké Ball partially embedded in the dirt-

Anyways Here's Darude Sandstorm
Motostoke
"Hey you. Fancy seeing you here. How's your cooking coming?"
He sends up Baltimore who perches nearby Acolyte.
Baltimore: <Well met!>

Motostoke
It is going wonderful. Actually researching my next dish, rifling through some old cookbooks.
-She briefly flashes her phone-
Acolyte: <Hello.>
And of course the next stop on my Gym Challenge is here in Motostoke so I'm preparing for that too.

Leon: Charizard... that Hunter is planning something with his bow and arrow... Throw him and his Pokémon off-balance with Air Slash!
Leon's Charizard: <You got it!>
-Leon's Charizard beats his mighty wings, speeding up with each wingbeat, until the wings glow blue and unleash a blade of air at Cotton, hoping to knock Hunter Domino off-kilter.-

Ishtar: -starts taking notes-
Julius: Gigantimaxing? Is that like Dynamaxing?
Turffeild, Savings
Iris: Told you.

-The Sandyghast sighs and turns into a human wearing Pallosand-themed clothes. Said human is, surprise surprise, Odin-
Odin: Okay, so, years ago, I modded Porygon software and put a digital copy of my mind into it and now the result is doing the cyberassault on the J-Team out of twisted loyalty to a produce company. I technically have a virus that can kill it but I can't track down a way to apply it and for personal reasons I kind of don't want to.
Flamel: <Which is where MY idea comes in!>

-The Rolycoly is still bumping into Archer's leg-
Archer: Dude.
Rolycoly: <You're in my way! I wanna go fast! I wanna fight!>
Archer: Fiiiine. Benoit?
Benoit: <Gladly.>
-Spits a Water gun at the Rolycoly-
Rolycoly: <Ack! Wet! I can still stop->
-is hit with a ball-

"Well, typically a good way to get taller is to get stronger, and a good way to do that is through combat," he said before he was enveloped in a bright light.

-A Wimpod scurries by and touches the "Poké Ball", which then reveals its teeth as the bear trap-esque Galarian Stunfisk flexes its body like a bear trap to catch it, before rapidly burying itself deeper underground-
Cam: <Let's be careful, shall we?>

-As if that attack hadn't even happened-
The local Stunfisk have upped their trolling game I see. They're Ground/Steel here as opposed to the Ground/Electric of Unova and other places.

-As some East Sea Shellos take a nap on the water-
They say that Kabu The guy we're battling next. is basically the filter of the League, so once we're past him the number of people left will dwindle. Well, it might be more this year because so many J-Teamers are doing it, but the pattern will likely remain true.

Turffield Stadium And The Magic Of In-Universe Time
Daydre finally makes her way out onto the pitch, still a little out of breath. Milo comes in from the other side of the stadium and the two meet in the center.
Milo: "My gym's the first one people face, so we get a lot of challengers. That's why I try to keep the gym mission challenging, but.. Hey wait, actually, do you need a moment? You seem kind of out of it?"
Daydre: "No... I'm good.... Just.. not used to running for more than... a few seconds at a time..."
Milo: ".. Alright, if you're sure! Let's have a good battle yeah?"
Daydre just gives him a thumbs up as the two separate off towards opposite sides of the field.
The two send out their starting mons- Gossifleur for Milo, Bartholomew for Daydre.
Bartholomew: <Awright, time to- Hey, are you feelin' okay?>
Daydre: "Why do people keeping asking me that? I don't look that bad do I?"
Bartholomew: <Iunno you look fine I guess->
Milo: "Razor Leaf!"
Bartholomew: <OOP>
Bartholomew is nicked by the Leaves but manages to speed around the bulk of them, his body dropping coal to shed weight. Milo's Gossifleur continues shooting leaves, but Bartholomew's increased speed allows him to (mostly) avoid them. He returns fire with rocks of his own, but they don't seem to do much more than scratch damage.
Milo: "Hm, seems we've stalled a bit huh? Well, time to change up my strategy!"
Daydre: Oh yeah, this is also an entertainment thing. Guess he has to keep things int-
Milo's Gossifleur suddenly starts emitting an intoxicatingly sweet Scent. Bartholomew stops zooming around, distracted by it.
Bartholomew: <Hm? Wha's that->
... And is punted across the field like a ball by a Razor Leaf, appropriate for the stadium they're in.
Daydre: ... Oh that's not good

Stormchaser - Rosepoint
-Lucius waves back at Scarlette, noticeably glad that there's someone in the room he can actually look at.-
Lucius: Heya, Scar. Long time no see.
-He takes a seat, pulls a can of something out of his bag, and takes a long swig.-
Lucius: So, uh... how do we want to start this off?
Trans rights are human rights. JK Rowling preaches hate. If you sit at a table with five bigots and say nothing, there are now six bigots.

Pippy: -pats some region of himself-
Megan: -headtilt- ...wait, what was that? I didn't catch…
Thespi: -nodnod- <Antihero. Bold choice.>
Pollen: <Uh.>
-she "squints", as though if she focuses just right she could see flowers in the mess of metal and plasma everyone else's looking at-
Vee: <Eh, I thin' they might jus'—>
-and then the Dynamax happens-
Pippy: -not even a squeak-
Vee: -wide-eyed-
Megan: ...
...
...so...
-looking up at the ceiling- the thing the pretty skeleton dragon thing did, is...here, as well?
Pippy: -at length- <As...part of the Gym challenge.>
Vee: -fizzing intensely- <I am so excited, y'all've got no idea—>
-Megan winces all through the arboreal assault-
Pippy: -giggling, high-pitched- <I think I've got some—>
-and the stadium erupts-
-the light blots out the rest of the image-
-the noise overwhelms the distant sound of the crowd, thundering through the window shortly after its display on the screen-
-and the silence that follows thereafter is deafening-
Vee: -tremble- <That was so fucking awesome.>
Megan: -faintly- ...I need another lollipop. Oh, frick.
Vee: -giggle- <Language, Meg.>
No mind to think. No will to break.
