No mind to think. No will to break.
Lengthy post, but open to interaction either for someone to play Milo or if anyone wants to jump in and interact with Fuka & Suzie. As noted earlier on the dicussion thread
, I'm going for something at least for Will, but we can do whatever for Fuka & Suzie. If Fuka & Suzie get the interaction, I may handle the Will/Milo fight as a background event instead.
Turffield Stadium Check-In
Will: My name is Will Lau- (Will shakes his head) Will Rubens. Number zero-four-four."
Will gives his name and number to the stadium attendant checking in Challengers. He listens to the description of the Gym Mission and, after reaffirming his intent to proceed, is told to go change into his uniform. On the way towards the dressing room, he's stopped by a woman's voice.
"Feeling nervous yet, kiddo?"
Will jumps at the sound and turns to see a woman in a wheelchair with brown hair, just shy of shoulder length, and bright green eyes. In the woman's lap is an Unown that looks vaguely like the letter W. The wheelchair is being pushed by a Garchomp. She gives him a cheeky grin.
"I'll take that as a 'yes'."
Will: Mum!
The woman in the wheelchair giggles.
"It's so cute how you say that."
Will blushes at the comment. The Garchomp steps over and pats his head with a claw. His face gets redder.
Will: You came...
"I promised you I would, didn't I?"
Will: You also said it would be a blatant play on my desire to not disappoint you.
"It's also that, yes." (The woman smiles and speaks in a teasing tone) "Were you doubting I'd show?"
Will looks away. The smile fades from her face.
"Will, I promised to come see your battles. I'm here to watch your battles. I know you're not looking forward to this, but you'll have fun, I'm sure of it."
Will: Hm.
The woman gives him a Look
"Still planning to keep to the rules we set?"
Will nods. The woman's smile returns
"Should make things nice and tough for you, then, shouldn't it?"
Will smiles at the thought.
"There you go! Now go get changed, herd those Wooloo or whatever, and show everyone what you can do with the odds stacked against you!"
Will: Yeah, I will! I'll do you proud, Mum.
"Yes you will. Win or lose! Fuka and us (she gestures to the Pokemon with her) will be rooting for you all the way. Now get going! Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!"
Will, looking more cheerful, turns and leaves for the dressing room.
As she watches Will leave, the smile slowly fades from Suzie Rubens's face.
Suzie: Bear with it, kiddo. This will be good for you in the long run.
Sinnoh, the Rubens home, Past
Will is in the living room, sitting across from Suzie, his Jigglypuff Puri in his lap. He looks unusually distressed.
Will: The Galar Gym Challenge?! But why?
Suzie: A few reasons. First, I think it'll be good for you. You've got a few issues to resolve back home, I think something like this, like doing the Gym Challenge on your own terms, can help with doing that.
Will (muttering): My own terms would be not to do it at all.
Suzie: Which brings me to reason number two.
Will jumps as he realizes Suzie heard that. Suzie only grins at him before becoming serious again.
Suzie: You love Pokemon Battles. They are to you what scaly fire breathers are to Fuka. You want to fight the strongest opponents, yet you don't want to do the one thing guaranteed to get you to those strongest opponents. Why is that?
Will: It's... I mean. (Will Huff's) Nobody ever gets it.
Suzie: I'm willing to try. There's obviously something here, get it out of your system so we can talk it out.
Will is silent for several long moments. When he speaks next his voice has all the petulance one would expect from a ten year-old.
Will: Gym Battles are so boring!
Suzie sits there, a surprised look on her face, but nods for the boy to continue.
Will: It's, it's like they're strong, yeah, but they're Gym Leaders! (Will abruptly stands, Puri rolls off in time to land on the sofa rather than the floor) The whole reason they're there is to be a test. To get other trainers to prove their stuff. they're supposed to be beaten!
Suzie: And what fun is there in a fight you know you can win?
Will stares at Suzie for a moment. Some of the melancholy fades from his expression.
Will: Yes! It doesn't matter how strong or weak they are, they're supposed to be beatable! If they weren't no one would go to the Pokemon League! (He walks to Suzie, almost tearful) You really get it?
Suzie: Yep. I do. (she gives him a grin and puts a finger on his temple) You're a child.
Will's excitement drops immediately. He looks ready to shout.
Suzie: I don't mean that as a bad thing. It's just true. Teaching your Pokemon new moves and tricks, testing then against trainers who may or may not wipe the floor with you. You live for that! You're wondering "why do I have to do all this boring stuff too?" Does that sound close?
Will shuffles his feet.
Will: I... I mean... kinda... I'm not against doing the work!
Suzie: No, you're just against doing the boring parts. (Suzie sighs, but the grin doesn't leave her face) There's something you need to know.
Will (sits back down): What's that?
Suzie: There's always boring parts. Always have been, always shall be.
Will looks skeptical.
Suzie: Don't believe me? Then I'll let you in on a little secret. Between me and Fuka, you've heard stories about what I got up to before. Hidden chambers in the Ruins of Alph, sky battles atop Nidori, and so on and so forth.
Will nods
Suzie: Do you know how many of those adventures were preceded by hours, days, even weeks in libraries, or investigating dig sites or crime scenes in meticulous detail, of cramming my head so full of dead languages I can say the word "zombie" in at least four them?
Will shakes his head.
Suzie: All of them. Every. Single. One. Adventure doesn't just drop into your lap just because you want it.
Will: What about that trip to the Lake of Rage Fuka told me about?
Suzie (waves her hand dismissively): That was a family vacation, that doesn't count. But even if every single one of them exaggerating, way more often than not I had to study, study, study to even know where to go, know what to look for, know who to beat. That, for me, was boring as anything. My old report cards are the stuff of teacher nightmares. I did it, dull though it was, because it needed doing if I was going to achieve my real goal. That's something you need to understand, doing a Gym Challenge is the best way to do it, and doing I think doing Galar's Gym Challenge will drill it into your head like nothing else will.
''Will considers this. He sits back on the sofa and Puri climbs into
Will: How did you keep the boring stuff from stopping you?
Suzie: There's ways to help with that. My issue was with studying, but it was studying in the name of what I really wanted so that helped. After I met Charlie he'd offer over me incentives (stops, then continues very quickly) that you and Fuka are too young to hear about. Ever.
Will: Incentives like wh-
Suzie: For you we need to make the Gym Battles something you don't mind doing, and I already know how.
Will: You do?
Suzie: That's right. Your issue is that Gym Battles are dull because there's not really a "lose" condition, in your mind. So what we do is simple: we make one. No, wait, we make several.
Will looks at her confused
Suzie: Like say, oh, no Dynamaxing your Pokemon, or you have to use Pokemon with a type disadvantage. (Suzie grins) There's no rule saying you can't stack the deck against yourself now, is there?
Will grins with her as the implications hit him.
Suzie: But! If, when, you do lose, you need to remove one of those restrictions for the rematch and fight more seriously. Deal?
Suzie holds out her hand. After several moments' consideration Will holds it his and they shake on it.
Turffield Stadium
Fuka: "Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory"? Really?
Fuka is pushing the wheelchair now, going down a ramp in the stands, as Sami the Garchomp and Waka the Unown carry snacks
Suzie: You know even better than I do that it'll motivate him more than "Go and win, rah rah rah!"
Fuka: Yeah, you're right. Do you think he'll even be able to win?
Suzie: From what I hear the third Gym is when challengers start hitting a wall. I imagine if he can stay motivated he'll be able to push his way through until then. Even if he doesn't, he should start fighting more seriously once he starts actually losing; once he has to put in the kind of work he enjoys.
Fuka: You know, you're starting to get good at this 'being a mom' thing.
Suzie: Coming from you, that's high praise. (both laugh) But really it's not much more than he's a lot like me, and I know myself pretty well... (Suzie looks down at herself and frowns) Got a pretty good reason for some introspection.
Fuka frowns on noticing the change in her mother's tone. Fuka starts to push the wheelchair ahead at full speed, stopping only when the form of a Garchomp suddenly speeds ahead of them and glares at Fuka.
Sami: <No running around, not in a crowded place!>
Fuka looks down as the Pokemon chastises her. So does Suzie.
Fuka & Suzie: Yes, ma'am.

Empathic Kid Hero-in-training
Turffield Stadium, Pre-AFD
-Recording continues as Milo prepares to Dynamax his Eldegoss.-
Me: Here it comes...
Evelyn: Dynamax...
♪Show me the wisdom of the world... Tell me the secrets of the heart... and the sweet~ mysteries~ of love~...
Silas observes the people walking about, pondering, before asking, "What the hell is Performa?"
Bishop shrugged.
At the sight of the Void shadows, Arthur pauses, the voice of Vega appears in his helmet, "Tactical analysis places these as Pokemon. Respond as appropriately."
Arthur nodded and tossed out another pokeball, grunting to Clutch who rolled his eyes and took position.
Out of the Pokeball appeared a Haxorus, it was... odd in that its eyes almost seemed to emit a red glow, the colour scheme of it was also bone white and green instead of the usual colours.
Marauder rumbled and looked at the shadow mons, <I see I have been summoned to deal with false versions, how... appropriate,> he said, his voice almost seeming to have a ethereal quality to it.
Hayden was quick to respond to anyone suggesting, "I am a tactician, not a fighter. I direct the Slayer, he does not direct me."
Marauder shot a dragon pulse while Clutch delivered a hyperbeam.
Silas stared at Kamon, unsure of what to say to him, and his seeming ignorance at the situation.
~So, what's the plan?~ Hacks asked.
"You are to provision yourselves, and go into the old ruins, explore and find what you can, before we face the Necromancer!" Henderson explained.
Roxy looked at Silas, "Trouble just seems to follow you huh?"
"I'll make do," Silas said, flexing his mechanical hand a bit, letting the servos whirr.
~I'm coming down there then,~ Hacks responded.
"What does the first expedition look like?" Silas asked.
"Short, no need for a camp, yet," Henderson explained.
Missing No Real
Spying a fellow Trainer at the gym reception, Clara cheerily pointed towards him, dragging Mama over with her.
<Mum! Mum, look! A human Trainer! I’m gonna go talk to him! Come with me!>
“Hey, human! I’m Clara! It’s so exciting to meet another Trainer in Galar, especially after we’ve come all the way over from Unova!”
Clara jittered with impossible levels of enthusiasm, as if Victini themself had possessed her.

He gave his gun a little twirl.

Flying Colors
Distortion World
-An aura scan on the Void Shadows reveals that they seem to be somewhat mindless, glitch-infused Obscuric life forms. Where exactly they fall on the dark side of the Aura Spectrum is a bit unclear; the Hyper Beam seems to connect just fine, and in general there doesn't seem to be any particular type-effectiveness to them.-
-As for the environment, the ambient Obscuric haze through the air starts to choke up any non-Ghosts that breathe it in, at least for the brief moment that it can. It's not long enough to be a significant problem, though, because Addie's Flash cuts through the haze, and apparently relights the lanterns again.-
-Anyway, the Hyper Beam manages to blast cleanly through one of the Void Shadows, dissolving it. The rest of the various attacks, though, don't quite finish them off, and they warble in aggravation. Each surviving one divides — initially a group of three, cut down to two, and then split into four — before finally retaliating. Two of them radiate waves of crackling energy that hit everyone. One launches a tendril at Clutch that drains his vitality. The final one flickers, before taking the form of a shadowy imitation of Duolis, which slashes at Addie with its own Shadow Claw.-
Nazena: Shiver, you take this one.
-The Doublade previously addressed as Sunder unsheathes, but anyone paying particular attention will notice that the blade that previously crackled with static before is now the one hanging back, making way for the other. Shiver's red blade glows faintly, before icing over, frost fern patterns lacing it, and it makes a series of stabs at one of the Void Shadows responsible for the wave attack.-
Silas motions for the party to follow him, as he ducks into the shadows and begins to follow the shadow in red.
Clutch grumbles a bit as he feels his vitality being sapped, Arthur lets out a grunt, and Marauder dashes over to attack the Void Shadow getting at Clutch, and uses Dragon Claw to attempt to swipe away the Tendrils.
Silas looked to Gale, and to Des, before turning back to Kamon. "Got a weapon or some way to defend yourself?"
Hacks turned to Des, ~As soon as we got a party.~
"Parties of four, parties of four, no less, no more..." Henderson mumbled, "Tight corridors down below, but need extra protection. Old bakery still sells foodstuffs..."
Roxy looked about, "And looks like this place needs fixing. You got electricity?"
Henderson nodded, "Was thinking of getting wifi installed."
Wyndon Junkyard, April 1
Upton picks up a small bag containing a bunch of balls.
Upton: Oh, there you guys are. Good thing you're safe. We'll be eating fancy tonight. Hope you have your appetites ready.
He turns to the Rotom.
Phineas: It has been quite a day.
Upton: See, I told you we should've released Moloch right away. Baal would not let you hear the end of this.
Phineas: You will tell him nothing, Adonis. And you know how much collateral damage that guzzlord could cause. In a sensitive facility and tourist site, no less!
Upton: I owe a shrimpy kid and his dead parent a big dinner, let me have this!
Phineas looks around.
Phineas: A lot of Pokefutures-grade scrap is in this pile. Hmmmm.
Wedgehurst outskirts
Upton: So, boss man told us that the haunted house should be around here. Seems odd an article choice for April. The Paranormal and Occult Lore of Modern Galar seems Halloweenish, don't you think?
Phineas: I guess Hank Harvey hates the Occult in every universe
Upton: Fascinating.
Upton walks up to a nearby cabbie.
Upton: Excuse me, good sir. Could you take us to the Paige property?
The cabbie paused in fear and froze. He mustered up some courage to speak.
Cabbie: Listen lad, ya got a death wish if you're looking to tangle with the dark forces in the Demon's Hamlet.
Upton: Right... demon mansion. Wouldn't be the weirdest thing that happened to me in this country. How close can you get us there?
Cabbie: Dannae if ye are brave o' foolish, but I can point to where you should go. I warn ye. If ye can't hitch a rapidash, ye are better off goin' on foot. Not gonna risk me bird for this.
Upton: Sounds serious. Could you tell me and my rotom everything you know about it?
Cabbie: Aye, lad.
The Cabbie then proceeds to spin a yarn about a prophesy told to the hamlet's laird, about dark forces that would be turned loose at the appointed time. He spoke of evils so horrifying that the human mind cannot fathom. And that he should bring supplies.

Rockstar: <Nae ye don't. An a thought ye left thit at home.>
Kamon: -enthusiastic- But I do know how to shoot, I've trained in firearms for a few roles. Oh, and swordfighting, archery, competitive screaming, MMA, parkour... Though I'm completely pants at that last one. There's a whole behind-the-scenes video of me just falling on my arse.

Alright. So it's us three and the actor for the first little foray into the unknown. Sounds simple enough...
You're So Vain, You Probably Think This City's About You
Anthem: <Well that red one is important. Just dunno whether in a 'find this' or 'avoid this' way...>
-Shift bwoops into the Palace and swiftly assumes the form of a younger version of Director-
Shift: Did we ever decide on my codename? It's been a few months and last time wasn't exactly... Conducive to creative naming.
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
Trans Terminus Homo
Viridian City, MMO Space
The three still around around the Clawitzer wildly, dodging all Water Gun attacks - though given their movemenet pattern, Travis probably would question if that was intentional or dodging or just them running around wildly. In any case, while Amaura didn't have the type advantage of the others, he as well did his best to help. Seenig their attacks had worked, both Tropius and Meganium used Razor Leaf again while Amaura now used Thunderbolt, hence giving him a type advantage as well

Halis: <Disregarding my personal problems for a moment, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's both avoidance and finding the red one that's important, to be honest...>
Halis looks over at Shift, a bit perplexed by their own sudden changes as well.
Halis: <I mean, if you're getting a fancy nickname, so am I. I don't get brought into a weird alternate universe thing or whatever this is without getting something back out of it, and codenames sound fun enough to take my mind off my situation...>
They then recall what they were griping about not even a few minutes ago.
Halis: <Aw, why'd I have to remind myself, I'd actually forgotten for a bit... Uh, anyway, how about Blooper?>
It's hard to tell if they're being serious and their naming ideas are just that terrible or if they're joking around, though their tone of voice and expression seem to point to the former given that they're still worried.

-given that there's no real way to dodge a wave, Logan holds her close as hers recharges and lets their own Styler shield take the brunt of it-
-and noting the light's effect, flicks on the heavy-duty signal flare in their Styler, pointing it at the Shadow holding Clutch-

Turrfield, overlooking the geoglyph
A twenty-somthing brunet photographer in plaid is taking pictures of the geoglyph. He is accompanied by a joltik, kabuto, and what appears to be a floating phone that's possessed by a rotom.
On the other side is another person with poofy brown hair, wearing a navy blue jacket and a T-shirt with some obscure cybersecurity joke . His eyes are glued to a tablet PC and he appears to be followed by a Vikavolt with a strap and radio device attached to it.
Scary Paige Manor
A wild Upton appeared. He appears to be carrying a large backpack full of what appears to be full tins of food. His shoulders appear oddly glitchy.
Upton, completely out of left field: Hello there. May I speak to the master of the property? My name is Upton Braun, Geographic Society field correspondent.
They should also notice a distressed rotom occupying a robotic drone that accompanied the new arrival.

"Bartholomew no good, no good, not ready for the dark..." Henderson mumbled.
~Are you okay?~ Hacks asked.
"I'll be fine, just the touch of what lies below..."
Silas sighed, "We can head out on our expedition ASAP, grab what supplies and get yourself dressed, Kamon you're coming with us, as for the new person here."
Silas turned to face Upton directly, "Who the hell are you?"

Upton: I already told you, sir. I'm with the Geographic Society. I'm here to interview the property owner on the alleged occult lore that developed around this place for an article and—
Yes, he's glitching a lot more this time.
Upton: I know what you're thinking and let me assure you that what you're seeing is an optical illusion caused by light refracting on the fabric of my fleece vest. It does that sometimes.
The rotom drone beings to mouth off something in [German].
Phineas, in [German]: <That glitching is getting worse. Wear the harness.>
Upton, in [German]: <I told you. I'm wearing that thing only when you've had it painted. You know that logo triggers me.>
Phineas: <Yeah, you and I both. I couldn't find any nonreactive paint.>
Upton: <You said this stuff was inert!>
Phineas: <Yeah, but anything other than non-toxic paint can be bad for you. Sorry for caring about your health. You're good at making excuses, now wear it.>
Upton: Schleiße. Excuse us.
Upton takes out a harness made from various odd metallic parts and wears it. A keen observer would notice something peculiar from its parts... and notice a central crosspiece with a familiar logo.
Upton: We had this custom harness crafted with odd parts we got from a scrapyard. I tried getting rid of the logo but the hardware stores were out of nontoxic paint. It should be useful in preventing further distracting visuals from forming.
Beat.
Upton: Just so we're clear, I have nothing to do with this company or the monsters who ran it.

Des just stared at Upton.
"...Right."
He turned to Henderson.
"Is there a kitchen in this place? Got any food you could spare?"

Halis turns to address Flamel, clearly distressed from this revelation.
Halis: <I-I swear I didn't change anything! Any time I changed, it was because of my scarves, or because of it being some weird alternate reality shenanigans... I mean, I guess all this falls under the latter category, but still.>
They wave their arm out to gesture to their surroundings, taking note of it as they do so.
Halis: <...What's all this about 'Performa' anyway? It sounds like one of those as-seen-on-TV type things, honestly.>
