Mementos Battle
Once again, Ahemait parried and countered with an Iron Tail, a murderous glint in his eye as he recognized his adversary was making a desperate last stand.

-The confusing ray Boseman shot out hits Hanuman, dizzying him.-
-Hanuman, in his confusion, picks Boseman up as though he were a regular candle... or a piggy bank... or a... soda can? I dunno what Hanuman sees Boseman as...-

(Boseman smirks— and his eyes glow purple, realizing the timing is now perfect. Without another word he shoots forth a giant purple and red eye directly towards Hanuman. It hits. For double damage.)

-Hanuman stumbles backwards, still holding onto Boseman. He then shakes Boseman a little to... um... I'm not even sure what the plan is here... Hanuman then runs out of the tunnel and into the Striaton City park and pick up a stick, which he then brings back into the tunnel with him and writes out a word puzzle in the dirt. It goes as follows...-
Hanuman: <Think you can decipher this, Boseman?>

Boseman: <Well. This is interesting... let's see... "This... beach... am..." Is that a teabag? I think that's a teabag... "this... beach... am... tea." "This speech empty"?>
(And then it hits him.)
Boseman: <OH. I see what you're doing.>
(And without even a second thought, he shrinks again to a near-microscopic size.)

Oblivion Wing
I mean I expected space adventures to attract more than just me and the Silas-adjacent fam but I didn't really expect it to involve accidentally stowing away...
-Gale looks a little awkward and shrugs-
But hey, we're still like two or three people below the amount that I provisioned for so hearty ration sizes for the trip.
-She gives a glance at the sleeping human(?) and flinches at the visual glitching-
Uh-huh. I think I'll let someone beefier than me handle hoisting up your friend...
Orochi Plaza, Lobby
Swordlike Woman: Well if I didn't know any better, I think the hostages are up on the eleventh floor so... Up we go?
Kai's Apartment
Well, I do tend to take things seriously.
-Gale starts laying out her plans on the floor-
So for a while I've been tracking a few remnants of Pokefutures, especially the ones that seem to have gone legit beyond any ability to discern. Which hey, if some workers manage to reclaim goodness that's fine but there's a lot of unaccounted for assets left, like for instance...
-She gestures at a picture of a cargo pallet loaded with unmarked boxes-
Whole shipment of Technical Machines, prototype reusable ones from just before they updated the standard. Rumor has it there are some disks in there that haven't seen reprints in the new standard, moves that have never seen a TM printing and even a few in-development moves as yet unknown to the League. Or at least, that's how the rumors go.
Metropolis of Vanity
Okay, the ability is down and it's Something-Dragon, get in there with Ice and Fairy mo— hold on! Orpheus, Moonblast!
-The bard complies as Eris goes back in for more physical strikes and Mimic resumes its course of chewing on the problem until it dies-
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
No voice to cry suffering
Galar, Route 7
Hiro: -genuinely beaming, briefly- No imposition at all. I live for these moments, really.
Chips: <...it's true... . ...we leave the lid off...and see what shows up.>
Hiro: -examining it- It's a new recipe, I'm glad the aroma seems appealing...
-an open-ended statement, leaving taste to be accounted for-
Parfait: -laughing- <It's the old nickel saw, isn't it! It only needs to happen a couple times, and you're guessing at the rest. Better to be prepared than not.>
-she taps the side of her nose-
-Hiro patiently waits through Ever's corrections-
Hiro: -sincerely- Good to know. Always better to clarify. That is...noted.
-he seems to take them in, again-
Hiro: By the same dictum, I'm not certain I personally am so impressive overall. But I'll take the benefit of your perspective for what it is worth.
Parfait: <It places highly in a jury of our peers!>
Hiro: -unfolding his hands- And as for me, you could say information is my stock in trade.
Chips: -gnaw- <...soup...?>
Hiro: More of a stock in pot, really.
-again indicating the fire and its contents-
No mind to think. No will to break.
The Oblivion Wing in Space
Phineas: Oh, don't worry about that. Surely none of your provisions will go to waste just feeding him. Though if stretching out supplies is an issue, we can probably stretch them out by keeping him in longer periods of torpor.
Shutter can't manage to speak. He's still processing what's happening.
Orochi Tower Lobby, next to the underwriting room.
Lou nodded.
Lou: Alright, fellas, we're going to the Eleventh floor.
The rest of the cabbies and their corviknights made noises of vague agreement. Lou's corviknight and the others flew upwards, passengers on tow, toward the upper floor where the hostages were still held. Lou and his companions, however, hovered around the fifth floor.
Constable Drumsturdy: And what did I tell you.
Lou: Hey there. Anyone want a lift.
Constable Drumsturdy: Hail, heroes. The cavalry has arrived.
Motostoke Stadium
Hoops: Kec, use Sucker Punch! Kit, dodge!
Kit jumps upwards, and the Razor Leaf flies underneath him. At the same time, Kec's paw glows dark purple while the rest of his body quickly turns black, aside from his yellow stripe, and he launches himself forwards to strike at Rowen.
Hoops: Now, Kit, Snarl!
The fox pokemon does his best Snarl, though it comes out a little cute. Anyone that gets hit by it will have their Sp.Attack cut.
"Well we don't need to worry about food too much. Silas stocked up on rations, even took out the mechs to make more space," Roxy noted, "I think it's also because he's a little envious that I'm a better pilot in Horizon," she concluded with a smile.
Arthur upon Gale's comments walked over to Upton, and slung him over his shoulders and gripped onto Shutter, "Come on now we have to get moving."
Roxy nodded, "Follow us."
Silas looked at Shutter and Upton, "How did you guys even get on? We loaded up with rations for the mission, the fact that my ship has gravity should have tipped you off it wasn't a normal Asimov transport."
Roxy shrugged with a smile, "Ah well, they get to join us on an adventure now."
"Couldn't Ziltoid just watch over them?"
~Absolutely not! I am not watching over you lot, nor any stragglers!~
"Last I checked you need my help," Silas commented, "Why can't you watch over them?"
~I have no food for safe consumption meant for them, as well as no long term storage so unless they want to be kept in cryo. I did not account for them, you however have accounted for extras.~
Silas grumbled, PW!Ziltoid was right.
He sighed before turning back to Shutter, "Okay, ask away. If you're stuck with us, better make sure you're informed."
Alt Ziltoid's Ship
Shutter's brain was jolted from its stupor, long enough for the flood of questions to start pouring in. He pauses for a bit to get his thoughts together. Phineas, of course, was lucid the entire time.
Phineas: In our defense, we thought we were heading toward a gravity well and our guides said the transports were upgraded to reduce turbulence. We noted it to be quite brilliant.
Shutter: We made... one wrong turn in the loading bay and ended up getting locked in the supply hold. We couldn't get out and waited it out until we realized that the trip was taking longer than usual.
Phineas: So... parallel universe. Honestly, I'm not too surprised. I was from a universe parallel to theirs, as was my companion.
The phonelike rotomdex points toward the glitching human-shaped thing, who seems to be coming to.
Upton: <Incoherent babbling, but mentions something about being carried by [Clark Kent]>
Phineas: Herr Grant and his compatriots killed the versions of ourselves in our own home universe, then we helped him clean out the cosmic horrors in his house.
Shutter: You what?
Phineas: It's a long story. If you'd hang out with us more, you'd learn that reality bending escapades like this are not strange to us.
Shutter: You. I remember you. Since when did this Ziltoid fella get a mustache?
Phineas: What's a Ziltoid?
Shutter: Is this like the Mirror Universe in Star Trek?
Phineas: Does their queen eat people?
Shutter: Oh, Arceus tell me we didn't enter that parallel reality. Parallel realities I can accept. Those are real. They've tossed things our way since that nonsense with Multiman.
He turns to Silas.
Shutter: Grant, is it? Boy, I still find it weird that you share a surname with my girlfriend. What voyage are we talking about here?
Phineas: We are in capable hands, Herr Albright. I'm sure that Herr Grant and his companions shall see to our general safety. And I do hear your girlfriend loves space.
Shutter: Well, if she were here, we'd— no, I'd still be freaking out. She'd be having the time of her life.
Beat.
Shutter: I... I had a date.
He sits down.
Shutter: If it's alright with you, I'll save all further questions at the bridge.
While carried by Arthur, Upton gains some degree of brain control and starts observing.
Upton, still very delirious: It's like [Farscape] in here.Oh, alien dude. Hey, Awesomeguy, check it. Are we in a space adventure? That's rad.
Phineas: It might be prudent to carry him with us. Excess supplies will be needed to sustain him outside of torpor. And let me tell you this now, Zapdos do not respond favorably to abrupt changes in temperature. It appears instinctive; do not ask me.

(Boseman finds himself being thrown up into the air, and lands on the floor, taking a bit of damage in the process. Regardless, he eventually stands up and shakes it off, looking over at Hanuman.)
Boseman: <That was a mistake, I believe.>
(He hops over to the hole and shoots a Hex move through it.)

Kim: "Well, this is rather interesting. I believe just east of here is Route 7... which is where I'm looking for next."
Dave: <Bloody hell, this place is huge! Wot are we even doin' here?! We're not even at the eighth badge yet!>
Boseman: <She did say that east of here was Route 7.>
Paul: <Maybe she's trying to catch some more mons or somethin'. Allister is a Ghost-type Gym Leader; she might be lookin' for some kind of Dark-type, ya know?>
Dave: <MORE MONS?! Is she bloody serious?! She's got sixteen of us already, ya tink she needs more?!>
Dalt: <I would be okay with more! I love more! More Pokemon mean more friends, and I love having friends! Friends are the best thing in the world!>
Dave: <AH, WHATEVAH, YAH BLOODY FLUTE!>
Dalt: <I am not a flute. I am a Boltund. Silly Wooloo!>
(He happily licks Dave, who sighs.)
Dave: <At the very least, if there are trees on this route that I can tackle ta bits, I'll be glad.>
Paul: <Oh, yeah! You got stronger by tackling down trees, didn't you?>
Dave: <'COURSE I DID! And I'm gonna keep gettin' even stronger!>
Kim: (smirks) "Well, good news for you, Dave. There are a ton of trees on this route." (She pauses.) "By the way, where are Ian and Evelyn?"

Kim: "Alright... let's see, what Pokemon can I catch around here?"
Dalt: <Ooh! I know! I will find you some Pokemon to catch!>
(He starts sniffing the ground looking for any new Pokemon. Kim, meanwhile, looks over at Dalt and Dave for a few moments, before her phone suddenly dings. She looks down at it and sees the text from Hoops reading that they have already gotten their badge, before turning to face Ian.)
Kim: "Well. It seems as though Hoops is already ahead of us."

Common Zigzagoon, the Tiny Racoon Pokémon. Zigzagoon restlessly wanders everywhere at all times. This Pokémon does so because it is very curious. It becomes interested in anything that it happens to see. The hair on Zigzagoon's back is bristly. It rubs the hard back hair against trees to leave its territorial markings. This Pokémon may play dead to fool foes in battle.
Galarian Zigzagoon, the Tiny Racoon Pokémon. A Normal and Dark type.Thought to be the oldest form of Zigzagoon, it moves in zigzags and wreaks havoc upon its surroundings.
