Wyndon, past

Kamon: Another what?

Ice Cave (?)

Cat!Channah: -continues to hide- O_O

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Wyndon

Arachna-Guy 2.0: I met that guy once. He was a jerk. Probably listens to Simple Plan like an immature tool.

Awkward Beat. The futuristic guy in tights turns to the purple haired movie star.

Arachna-Guy 2.0: What, do you not have alternate versions of yourself running around doing things that go against all that you stand for?

Arachna-Guy 1.0: Apparently I have one of those but I never met them. All my alternate selves that I met seem like pretty swell people.

Elsewhere in Wyndon

Dave: <Sneezes>

Rotom!Jonathan: I'm sorry.

Wyndon, past

Kamon: I mean, I do enough of that on my own. -smiles- And apparently I do have alternate selves but didn't know that until today. -beat- Does that mean one of my alts has fought a Sharpednado? That would be cool.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Turffield, Pre-AFD

-Filming continues as Ian and Evelyn head to the bleachers.-

Me: This is it... the big moment... Kim's Turffield Gym Battle!

Turffield, April 1

Raru: <Good... now I want you to relax... calm your mind and look deep into my eyes...>

♪Show me the wisdom of the world... Tell me the secrets of the heart... and the sweet~ mysteries~ of love~...

AFD, Isbrand's Room

Isbrand: "Now!"

-She reaches into the portal, and her hand closes on something.-

Isbrand: "Fuck!"

-She pulls her hand out, and a blood-drenched sword clatters to the floor. Some of it is fresh, dripping from a cut on Isbrand's hand.-

Shaun: "That's it. All this trouble...just so you could get Shadowcleaver?"

Isbrand: "An alternate Shadowcleaver. Where Cereza kept it. Feel it, father. 600 years of Obscura poured into it."

-Isbrand wraps her hand in bandages.-

Kaiiseii: "Just seems...underwhelming."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Snowpoint, AFD

Jared: ONWARD!

-he charges into Snowpoint Temple. Jared follows-

Wyndon

-Alex turns to the group and smirks-

Alex: Sorry, I'm aro. Also could you all help me with something?

Motostoke Stadium

Woman: Ah, shifters. They shed.

Man: Should I let Paul know about this?

Haunter:   <Well->    -coughs- <Well we found who you were looking for. Could you help us?>

Contact Me!

Motostoke Stadium

"Oh, sure," Ammy offered. "Where might they be? Who are they?"

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Halis: "Hmm... maybe I can just do this?"

They hover inside and block off the enterance by covering it with icicles.

Halis: "So that was me, then. Kinda wish I could always do stuff like this, at least then I wouldn't have to reassure myself of my faeness, but oh well..."

After having done that, they follow along.

Halis: "I've only heard stuff about this place... I hope they're not mad for us entering. Not 'they' as in the other people who might be in here, but... oh, nevermind."

Wyndon, [Heathrow], March 31

Gimbal: Wow. You really suck at this.

Tommy: MOM!

Tommy tries to regain his composure. He was partly relieved at the revelation.

Tommy: Oh, we'd love to. We're free for the rest of today once we've checked in. By the way, my name's Tommy. Tommy Petersen. Petersen with three Es. My joltik's named Drake. The rotom in my phone is my mother, Stephania, though she goes by Gimbal. May I ask what yours is?

The Bog (?), past

Shadow!Tagg: -Getting up, more pissed than anything else- <I've had enough of this! Drown!>

-And sends out a Muddy Water our way, following it up with Lahar-

Crochet: -Has Arachne block with Protect, but is still covered in mud- <Wait, I have an idea!>

-I, on the other hand, get hit and am left sprawling on the floor of the bog, as Mokele Mbembe struggles to get out of the mud-

Shadow!Tagg: -Stomping on my chest, blade pointed at my heart- <In the end, we can't rely on anyone but ourselves and our Pokémon, they always let us down.>

-Coughing up muddy water-

Arceus... ...Perhaps you should've paid attention to the other beings on the field as well while you were pontificating?

Shadow!Tagg: <What?>

Crochet: -From behind- <Now Arachne!>

Arachne: -Uses Leaf Blade to slice the puppet strings-

Shadow!Tagg: -Arms hang down, seemingly useless at this point- <No!>

Like a puppet, gotta cut the strings.

Doc!

Doc: -Wraps them using Grass Knot-

Shadow!Tagg: -Struggles to move-

It's over, finish them Mokele Mbembe!

Mokele Mbembe: -Blasts Shadow!Tagg with a Freeze-Dry-

Shadow!Tagg: -Goes flying from the attack and collides into the cavern wall, sprawled out as the bog turns back into the ice cavern-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Ice Cave (?), past

Cat!Channah: -runs out of Shadow!Tagg's trajectory and hides under another rock, now terrified out of her mind-

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

The Bog (?), April Fools

Shadow!Tagg: -Turning back to a human form as he wallows in the mud in grief- It's not fair, they just keep on treating us like crap and using us, and we're just continuing to clean up after them for basically nothing in return at the cost of our own well being.

-To the currently sprawled out on the ground Shadow!Tagg-

You know, I've spent so long just hiding away and sealing off things over the years, including you, and I don't think it's worked out for me at all. So I think I'm done hiding away, time for me, no... us, to face the future. After all...

Shadow!Tagg: I am thou...

-Finishing the phrase-

And thou art I.

Shadow!Tagg: The time has not come for me to fully manifest yet, but the day that our contract is forged shall arrive eventually.

-Smiles-

I look forward to it.

-He then transforms in a flash of light into what appears to be an green and tan cracked Mudkip egg, which then gets absorbed into me-

Doc: <So, what now?>

-Everyone is then enveloped in light as the cavern and everything else also disappears into light-

Motostoke, past

-Appears, but Doc and Crochet appear to be nowhere to be seen-

Guess they must've gone back to wherever they were before.

-Sighs-

Sinombre: "If you think you can teach me better than the writings of a Name, I'd love to see your attempts."

The Black Beautifly

The Barman: Books can only take you so far, but I know that there is only one reason someone seeks what you wish.

-He fetches a new glass from the shelves and starts searching for bottles-

The Barman: It is selfish, but selfish desires are stock and trade of the house-that-isn't. You could search for knowledge, plumb ancient tombs and read books hoping that your luck leads you to glean the path before secret authority or your own mortal weakness strike you down. Or you can walk a trail already blazed and walk it in health and safety. It's the same destination.

-He starts mixing, his cocktail preparation bearing all the careful gravitas of alchemy-

The Barman: And of course, my path is not tread alone. A talkative tutor is so much better than a silent tome yes?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Budew Drop Inn

-Has spent the past couple days mostly looking at the ceiling, save for eating, drinking, and using the bathroom-

Magtail: -Angrily eating what appears to have once been a Caterpie- <Is he going to be like that forever?>

Cam: <Ssh!>

Yew: -Opens the door, or rather has the now Orbeetle Doppler open it for her- <Okay guys, I've acquired food through perfectly legal means.>

Doppler: -Sardonically- <According to my research, that means she didn't.>

Corvus: -Gets some of the food and tries feeding me like he probably would a Rookidee- <Okay Tagg, now open wide!>

-Pushing his beak away-

Hey, cut it out.

Big Savings: < young man / take the breadsticks and run >

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Budew Drop Inn

-To Channah-

I guess.

-Starts ravenously eating the food-

Hendrix: -Grabs a Berry out of Yew's wool to eat-

Budew Drop Inn

Channah: So... You wanna talk about anything? Besides me screaming my ass off that day?

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Budew Drop Inn

-To Channah, stopping the devouring for a moment-

I mean, I guess I've said all that stuff before to some extent, but having it turn into a giant Swampert wielding legendary artifacts was certainly something else. Like, I knew what would happen, but I don't think I was fully prepared.

Apart from that, I still don't want to sleep in the Stormchaser yet, my Shadow was right, that is how I've been feeling.

Channah: That's fine. Wherever you are is where I wanna be. Is there anything I can do?

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Budew Drop Inn

-To Channah-

Well, you're here, so there's that. Don't want to dump on you too much, otherwise I'm just repeating the cycle.

Wild Area

Crochet: -As the rest of Team Nova sleeps- <So I'm 9 today... and I've spent a longer time with everyone here than I have at my own colony back in Unova.>

-Sinombre turns a page. He finishes off his drink and turns the glass upside down.-

Sinombre: "Call me in exactly 60 hours. No more, no less."

-He writes his number on a coaster and gets up to leave.-

Sinombre: "I'm intrigued, but I must consider it. You will recieve your answer then."
