Kim: "Simple. I have heard of a phenomenon known as Dynamax... and I have heard the Gym Leaders use it. Ergo, I feel as though I would be at a major disadvantage if I did not use it myself."

Ozzy: <Wait... Dynamax? The phenomenon which causes Pokemon to enlarge from the power of Dynamax energy?>

Kim: "Indeed."

Turffield

Me: You know... In order to Dynamax, I think you need something called a Wishing Star and a band to affix it to...

PEFE Office, Alto Mare

In the midst of the chaos, the tour guide and her charge and their pokémon overhear the gloating of a rather sinister-looking rotom. Orbiting around him was an apparatus clearly taken from a claw machine, a smartphone, and a weird locket of some sort.

Below him were incapacitated PEFE security personnel and their pokémon—mostly growlithes and boltunds and a rather obvious dunsparce—all stupefied in some sort of trance.

Rotom: Hiding everything I needed in your shipments was all too easy. My brilliance is so amazing, I even stupefy myself. Haha! You all thought I was going to sink this facility to the bottom of the [Adriatic] and fell for that simple trick, hook, line, and sinker. But enough gloating. I've told you too much already!

Tour Guide: Um, excuse me. What the fuck?

Rotom: Uh huh, no. I am not about to repeat myself.

The area around the rotom seemed to fizzle out as though pixelated.

Tour Guide: Is everything just naturally glitchy today or is something funny going on?

Phineas: Okay, I recognize that speech pattern. You're—

Rotom: Ah, my reputation precedes me. Of course you would know me, as I know you.

Upton: I definitely recognize that ego.

Phineas: Hey.

Rotom: Yes, it is I, Dr. Phineas Braun, recently departed. I came to this world a few months ago after falling through a warp, and—

Phineas 1.0: Yeah, yeah. You're basically me. Seriously, evil plan. Spit it out.

Phineas 2.0: Ohoho, not so fast there. You may be me, but we couldn't be any different.

Phineas 1.0: That's self-evident. But your evil plan?

Phineas 2.0: I just said I don't want to explain it anymore. You should've arrived here sooner!

Upton: Holy shit.

Tour Guide: Did he say his name was Braun? Are you related?

Upton: If I told you that he's an evil alternate universe's version of my father, would you believe me?

Phineas 1.0: Not the words I would use.

Upton: Hurtful.

Phineas 2.0: Also, I'll be needing the Adonis Project for the next phase of my plan. I don't have Zapdos DNA but Zapdos' cells suspended in a chimaeric human matrix would do just nicely.

Phineas 1.0: Okay, I've had enough of this.

The rotom from Upton's phone attempts to electroball at his counterpart, only to have it be absorbed by the tour guide's brainwashed Lucario. The other pokémon rise up, seemingly intent on following the rotom's orders. The locket glows pink.

Phineas and Upton: Uh, HOW?

Phineas 2.0: I heard that PEFE keeps a share of anomalous items, such as the so-called spiral stone. It’s not in this facility, but a few April-time anomalies are stored here, and they work just as well. Wouldn't you like to find out what it does, though?

PEFE Offices in Alto Mare

A brainwashed Upton, now wearing a strange glowing pink locket, leaves the building. The people upstairs carry on with their business none the wiser to what happened below.

Phineas 2.0: Go to the junkyard just outside the city. We have business to attend to at Galar. Come, Adonis; Apotheosis awaits.

Upton complied.

Unbeknownst to them, another rotom, flying a beaten-up drone, flies in the opposite direction

Kim: "Is that so? Well, then... where can I find one of these 'Wishing Stars'? And one of these 'bands', for the record?"

There is a crackle in the air, a observant wooloo looks up and can only say, <Oh no not again...>

A door opens, a crack in reality, a hole forms in the air as it crackles with static, through it steps a figure in soft blue armor, with a concealing helmet and a flowing cape. Next to the man is a Lucario wearing what looks to be some form of helmet and strange armored outfit, also with a cape.

The figure looks about the area, "Strange... this isn't the way back out."

~Readings are coming up, air is breathable.~

"Hm."

The figure pats one of his side pockets and pulls out a odd device with a antenna on it, it beeps softly as the light blinks red.

"Seems one of the Bounties is here anyways. Best grab em while we still can."

~Right Silas.~

"Come on Hacks, we got a job to do."

Turffield

Me: Well, most of the J-Teamers who were at the Final Battle with the Mobius Society...

Evelyn: Myself included.

Me: Ended up meeting with a Legendary Pokémon called Eternatus and got to receive Wishing Stars from the Gigantic Pokémon...

-Ian and Evelyn turn out their pockets and reveal the Wishing Stars they collected, with Ian holding on to two Wishing Stars.-

Turffield:

Kim: "Hm. Interesting. I assume those are your Wishing Stars." (beat) "Was Rever one of them?"

Motostoke, today

-As Channah comes out presumably-

You and your mons did great out there.

Turffield

Me: He was.

Turffield

Kim: "Excellent." (She suddenly smirks.) "Hold on for one moment... I have an idea."

(She takes out her phone and goes to her text messages, before typing in the following:)

(Kim frowns, and sinks slightly.)

Textspace

Turffield

Me: Kim? Doshita no?^* What's wrong?

Turffield

Kim: (somewhat disappointed) "He's not coming. He just texted me and said that he and Hikari were done with battles for a few weeks— both in terms of watching and in terms of participating."

Turffield

Me: Well... That's a bummer. But at least you have two people willing to watch your battle.

Turffield

Kim: (brightens a bit) "I do." (then, slightly disappointed) "I still wish it was more, though. But, I suppose for now you two will have to do."

Turffield

Me: As for the Wishing Star, I've gotcha covered. Catch.

-Ian throws one of his Wishing Stars to Kim.-

Turffield

(Kim does so, before looking down at the Wishing Star in her hand.)

Kim: "Intriguing." (She smiles.) "Thank you, Ian."

Elton: (excitedly) <YES!> (He jumps up into the air happily.) <I'm gonna be HUGE!>

Kim: "Not quite, Elton. I still have to get a Dynamax Band before that can happen." (She pauses to think for a few moments.) "Rever said I need to ask someone who can harness its power... can you think of anyone like that?"

Ozzy: <Eternatus, perhaps?>

Kim: "Yes... but finding a Legendary is very rare."

Turffield

Me: You may say I'm a fool, but I think we should probably ask the Wishing Star itself...

Turffield

(Upon hearing this prospect, Kim raises her eyebrows, intrigued.)

Kim: "Oh?"

Elton: <ASK THE WISHING STAR?! A-are you serious?!>

Ozzy: <It does make a certain amount of sense, however. After all, the Wishing Stars are directly tied to Eternatus, who knows more than anyone how to harness the power of Dynamax.>

(beat)

Ozzy: <I would also like to ask about this... "Rever" person that Kim just mentioned.>

Kim: "Are you familiar with Colton Kendall Rever?"

Ozzy: <...Oh. The writer of the Prax Obscura, Second Edition? Yes, I am somewhat familiar with him. I used the Prax Obscura to teach myself Power Trip, as a matter of fact.>

Kim: "...you didn't already know it before?"

Ozzy: <Alas, no.>

A Cabin In The Glimwood

-Gale sleeps peacefully through midnight. This place is safe-

Yangverse, Slateport, March 31st, Night

-Swinging through the Convenient Warehouse District, who's that we see? Why it's Slateport's very own spider-man! And he's hot on the pursuit of a well-known member of the criminal element; the dastardly Cloudkill!-

Oi, come back here feather face!

Cloudkill the Poison DeltAltaria: <Hah! Ain't it past your bedtime kid?>

-Our arachnid-like hero dodges the deadly toxin attacks hurled back at him while keeping up his trademark banter!-

And aren't birds like you supposed to be roosting this time of day? Besides you-

-Which is when something outright astonishing happens folks; the spectacular spider-man vanishes as the clock strikes midnight!-

OU, Wyndon, April 1st, Midnight

-A man in a very peculiar red outfit just kind of appears out of thin air, the sudden translocation snapping his tether and sending him into freefall for a few moments before he can panic-sling a fresh web. Coming to a stop he looks around and lowers down to the ground-

A Spiderman: ... Okay so this is some whacked-out weirdness going on here.

-He checks that no-one is around before taking off his mask, revealing a very familiar face (albeit with unusually brown hair)-

Pentigan?: Okay Petey, what's the play...
