The Consultant: "Do you have any idea where Rakash is?! O-or where the enemy is?"

Kim: "Well, I enjoyed the BOB game so much that I figured we'd play an impromptu version here. With the rest of my Pokemon, of course."

Ballonlea Stadium, VS Bede

Evelyn: We'll take the first move, Bede! Axon, use Calm Mind!

Me: Yuki, use Shadow Ball!

-Axon nods before assuming lotus position and closing his eyes, calming himself for the ensuing battle. Yuki summons an orb of spiritual energy and launches it at Bede's Galarian Rapidash.-

Bede: Rapidash, use Psycho Cut to stop that Shadow Ball! Mawile, drop Axon's guard with Crunch!

-Bede's Rapidash's horn glows with immense psychic energy before swinging it at the Shadow Ball, slicing it clean in two. Mawile readies her iron jaws and charges at Axon, ready to bite down on him.-

Evelyn: I'm onto you, Mawile! Axon, Teleport and follow up with Laser Focus!

-Axon opens his left eye, which shimmers with a faint light, before disappearing suddenly to avoid the sting of Mawile's daggerlike fangs.-

Mawile: <What?!>

-Axon then reappears behind Mawile and focuses on them and a thin red beam of light forms between Axon and Bede's Mawile, cementing the accuracy of his next attack.-

Me: Yuki, use Ice Beam!

-Yuki fires a blue beam of subzero energy at Bede's Rapidash.-

Evelyn: Shall we get started?

Kim: "Indeed."

(With that said, Kim promptly sends out Orwell, Joel, Dave, Dalt, Peechee, Gallag, Gilmour, Jagger, and Strummer— all of whom look suitably delighted about the prospect of playing Bond or Break. She turns to face them.)

Kim: "Alright, get yourselves into the trees. We have a game to play."

(They eagerly do so, and hide in the trees until they are completely hidden from view. Sinatra, meanwhile, turns to face Kim.)

Sinatra: <This is good and all, but there's still one big question... how the heck is this whole "voice distortion" thingy going to work?>

Kim: "Hm... that is a good question indeed." (She turns to face Ian and Evelyn.) "Do you two have any ideas?"

Or growing up in regions where I could count the amount of other Black people I saw who I wasn't related to on one hand. You doing okay?

Ballonlea Stadium, VS Bede

-The beam of subzero energy strikes Bede's Rapidash.-

Bede: Rapidash! Use Smart Strike! Mawile, use Crunch!

Evelyn and I: You've got 'em where we want 'em! Use Shadow Ball!

-Bede's Galarian Rapidash's horn shines with a metallic sheen as she charges headlong at Yuki, who fires an orb of spiritual energy at the Unique Horn Pokémon. Mawile opens her steely jaws to try and clamp down on Axon, only to have a Shadow Ball shove into the mouth, which snaps shut before it catches Axon. Both Shadow Balls explode, knocking Bede's Rapidash backwards and Mawile forwards into a faceplant.-

Galar, Somewhere in the mountains

Somewhere, Alyesha was doing stretches alongside Krasnaya, the former currently wearing a bright prange helmet alongside a dark-blue jacket (with integrated repel and, more visible to onlookers, about 20 pockets, most of said pockets being filled) alongside some similarily coloured cargo pants and a pair of bright orange gloves and thick boots. Lastly, she was currently carrying a rather large backpack, the getup being quite clearly intended for a rather long climbing tour.

Hammerlocke Banquet, Gale

Mmmmmm I guess... I'm quite the powerhouse though. I was holding back in the museum.

But whatever. My power level aside, looks like you've settled in fine so that's good. Anything else you wanna talk about or..?

-A Navigator has arrived-

-By which I mean Rakash. He's here in his usual scraggly formalwear and rabbit mask-

Alright folks. Looks like a bunch of us had the same idea of checking out the client haven't we?

-He pops a little smile-

Shall we?

Galar Mountains, Post-Banquet

Something about mountains makes Pal feel happy and being honest with yourself Pal being happy makes you happy too. Of course, getting out and climbing things was also part of the fun of exploring and thus this was a pretty dang good time for you, who I shall clarify is Emer. You're heading along the mountainous area when you spot a fellow traveler and their Pokemon doing stretches and decide to approach to say hi.

"Hi!" you say, exactly as promised. You smile broadly though you try to not draw attention to the nature of your teeth.

"Aside from the apology, no. But, thank you for listening." Katsuragi gave a courteous bow and stepped away, returning to where the trio of trainers Absent controlled sat.

Well, one of them wasn't sitting there, more invested in being a bit of jokester alongside the dragon he competed against just before.

He pointed at the stage and an illusory double of himself locked eyes with the heckler and flipped him off. "Here's your Free Bird!"

He chuckled and sighed as the fake Colton faded into black smoke. "Just messin' with ya; well-fought match earlier!"

Upon noticing Emer coming over, Alyesha stopped doing stretches, instead waving slightly while smiling.

Alyesha: "Oh hi there~"

She exclaimed, so far not really noticing the pecurilarity of Emer's teeth

Alyesha: "You wanting to climb as well?"

Alyesha asked.

Meanwhile Krasnaya was running over to Emer, looking up to them through her skull helmet curiously.

Hammerlocke Banquet

"Hm. I'm s'posed to have family in other places too, but I've never actually heard from them at all. Only reason I know they exist is my mom mentioning them a couple times. But I figure if there's been no contact then I don't need to bother changing that."

She shrugs.

"But yeah, exploring. I've been all over this region now at this point, so it'd be neat to see somewhere new."

Mementos

The mask hides some of it but Daze definitely just winced a little there.

"Damn man, I'm sorry that had to happen to you. That just sounds.. really shitty. I'm fine. (Though I have to say hearing regular aggression after a lifetime of mostly microaggressions was.. interesting) She seemed more focused on you, though, so I'm more worried about you."

Hammerlocke Banquet, On Stage

-Ian hears Luperian's light-hearted heckling and chuckles.-

Me: Very funny, you two. Now... before my friends and I start out performance, there's something I've been meaning to say for a while now...

-Ian clears his throat before he starts speaking.-

Me: My name is Ian Pollyanna Salberg. I am a member of a band called "New Dawn's Dreamers". Last year, as you probably already know, Meloetta had announced this Battle of the Bands as a means of allowing people to band together, make music and enjoy themselves, and that she sent eight golden tickets to eight separate bands, four of which are J-Team affiliated. My friend, Kimberly Bond, picked up one of these tickets and invited me and some of my friends to join a band for this. I thought this would be a great opportunity to get to play music and make new friends, so I pretty much Jumped at the Call. However, you probably already know what happened to Hard Candy, Apocaklipz and the Church Choir and that they bowed out of the battle of the bands. That news was as shocking to me as it probably was to any of you who heard about it. When I came up with the name "New Dawn's Dreamers", in my mind, I made a promise to those bands... A promise that I and my friends would play for those who couldn't participate with all our hearts, and that we'd give them closure for the incidents by catching those responsible red-handed...

-Ian bows his head in shame.-

Me: In recent months, I feel as though I haven't been living up to that promise... That I had been letting them, my friends, Meloetta and myself down...

-Ian looks back to the audience.-

Me: But I'm not. As long as I have my friends beside me... as long as music travels on the air... I won't ever give up!

-Ian determinedly points his index finger to the sky.-

Me: If music be the food of love, play on!

-He then brings his hand down and sighs comfortably.-

Me: And now... I think it's time we make good on our promise... HIT IT!

Ballonlea Stadium, VS Bede

Bede: Impressive! Now, Mawile! Get up on Rapidash's back!

-Bede's Mawile recovers from the explosion of Axon's Shadow Ball. I'd make a joke about the aftertaste, but the big jaws on the back of Mawile's head can't taste anything. Mawile then jumps up onto the reeling Galarian Rapidash's back and gets ready for their next attack.-

Bede: All right! Now, Mawile, use Iron Head! And Rapidash, use Drill Run!

-Bede's Mawile prepares her other mouth, which glows with a metallic sheen as she holds on to the Galarian Rapidash, who then goes into a full gallop^* "Gallop" is Rapidash's Japanese name. and charges at Axon and Yuki before leaping into the air and spinning her body in a rapid spree of barrel rolls with her horn pointed at her opponents and uses the momentum of the gallop to carry herself and Mawile on a collision course towards Axon and Yuki.-

Me: Yuki, quick! Use Ice Beam!

Evelyn: Axon, use Shadow Ball!

-Yuki fires a blue beam of subzero energy at the dual Pokémon combo drill attack thingy while Axon launches a ball of shadowy energy at the same target. The Ice Beam freezes the combination attack solid but does not stop it from spinning and the now-frozen Pokémon drill collides with Yuki and Axon as the Shadow Ball explodes.-

The Wild Area

Evelyn: I'll check my books.

-Evelyn opens her spellbook and flips through the pages in search of what Kaylan is asking for.-

???: <Hello? HELLO?! I NEED A LITTLE HELP OVER HERE!>

Walter: <What was that...?>

Cuddles: <It sounds like somebody's in trouble! We should go and help them!>

(And then he hears a gasp from his PokeBall— Jules.)

Jules: (from inside his PokeBall) <Romea!>

(They suddenly emerge, extremely concerned.)

Jules: <Hang on, Romea! I'm coming!>

Cuddles: <Romea?!>

Braker: "Are you sure it's her?"

Jules: <I know it's her, Braker! I could hear her voice coming from a mile away! Now let's get ourselves goin'! We have a friend to save~!>

SOME OTHER PART OF THE WILD AREA

(Romea is dangling over the edge of a cliff in the Wild Area, and while she looks to be in trouble— the rocks are breaking— she has a determined expression on her face nonetheless, and is struggling to hang on. Eventually, Walter, Cuddles, Jules, and Braker arrive near her— and they happen to notice.)

Jules: <Oh dear. This isn't good.>

Walter: <It does not appear to be.>

Cuddles: <W-what if she dies?! W-we can't let that happen!>

Braker: "Indeed, we can not."

(He looks up, and suddenly notices a tree branch, before turning to Jules.)

Braker: "Jules? I want you to wrap yourself around that tree and swing yourself towards her if she falls."

Jules: <You got it!>

(They do exactly that, staying out of sight. Braker, meanwhile, turns to face his other Pokemon.)

Braker: "As for us... we'll go try and save her."

(Walter and Cuddles nod, and the three of them go over to Romea, who is still struggling. As soon as she sees them, she growls.)

Romea: <What are you three dweebs doing here?!>

Cuddles: <We heard your cries for help and want to try and save you~!>

Romea: <Save... me? Hah! I don't think...> (she starts slipping further) <I really need... any saving...>

Cuddles: <Well, you look like you do. You asked for help.> (He shoots out an electrical strand.) <Here! Grab on to this!>

(Romea blinks for a few moments, then extends out her claw in a desperate yet determined attempt to grab on to the strand of electricity. As she does so, however, the cliff starts to break off, causing Cuddles— and in the tree, Jules'— eyes to go wide.)

Cuddles: <Romea!>

Romea: (really struggling now) <Ugh...! It's fine, you idiot... I can handle—>

(And then the rock breaks, and Romea starts falling down towards the ocean.)

Romea: (falling) <THIIIIIIIIS...!>

Jules: (from the tree) <Romea! I'm comin'!>

(And with that said, they wrap themselves around the tree and swing towards Romea, before extending out their entire body into a straight line and grabbing Romea gently in their fangs, with only their tail tip remaining on the land.)

Jules: <Gotcha!>

(Romea pauses for a few moments, then looks up and sees Jules grabbing on to her. Cuddles, meanwhile, shoots an electric strand out from his pedipalps before pulling the two of them back onto dry land. Jules eventually lets go of Romea, and Walter and Braker run towards her.)

Braker: "Are you alright?!"

Walter: <Thank goodness you're okay. You could have been killed...>

Romea: (slightly shocked) <You guys... saved my life?>

Cuddles: <Of course we did! Why wouldn't we?>

(She turns to face Jules, who grins with delight and licks her.)

Jules: <Thank goodness! I'm so happy you're alright!>

Romea: (looks over at Walter, Braker, and Cuddles) <Huh. You guys aren't half-bad, actually.>

Cuddles: <YAY~! Thank you!>

Jules: <Yeah~!>

Romea: (immediately moving out of the way) <YOU!> (She growls.) <H-how DARE you save my life! We're supposed to be ENEMIES! Hate me! Fear me! Why did you rescue me?!>

Jules: <Because it's the right thing to do, silly! You're my friend!>

Romea: <I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND! WHY WOULD I EVER BE YOUR FRIEND?!>

Jules: <If you're not my friend, why did you come all this way to Galar with me?>

Romea: (getting defensive) <Because— well— I— n-never mind!> (she scoffs and turns away) <Look, just because your friends helped save my life, I'll join you and your dumb team.>

Cuddles: <You will?! YAY~!>

(He immediately runs over to hug her, and Romea smirks for a few moments before turning back to face Jules, with a growl.)

Romea: <But don't think this means I'll consider you my friend. You are not my friend, and you never will be. We are mortal enemies; you got that?!>

Jules: (cheerfully) <Mmmm-hm!>

(Romea sighs, and facepalms, before eventually turning back to face Braker.)

Romea: (somewhat begrudgingly) "Alright. I guess you can go ahead and catch me."

Braker: (taking out a PokeBall) "I'm already ahead of you."

(And he throws it. Romea is sucked inside in an instant, and the ball falls down to the floor, shaking three times before... you get the idea. Braker smiles and picks it up, before taking out his Pokedex and scanning it. Information soon comes up:)

The Pen gave a thumbs up and conjured a perception screen for Gale to look through, see what it was seeing as it followed after the Medicham.

The Medicham stepped over the balcony and looked down below, Arthur talking with the Gigalith Princess who seemed rather impressed... not by the fact that there was a large man in green armor, more by his build and how he did not seem to resemble any mon she had seen before.

The Medicham pulled out something, it was a odd tool, and when they pressed a button it glowed and began to hum.

"Got it," Bishop said, "And I got the info for our client, his excellency."

He zipped the info, "We'll review this on the Wing proper. But I think I found something important, a planet named Polity, it may hold secrets of the Rebellion we don't know."

He looked to Phineas, "Shall we inform our friends outside it is time to get moving?"

Upon Rakash and the Lycanroc fellow, Jackal waved, "Excellent. Navigator is here."

Then Daze and Kingfish, Jackal stepped over, "Good to have you on board. So, I suppose we look for the Client's palace and perform our investigation there?" he asked.

"You said something about experience with facing potential enemy personas users before," he continued, "Do you have any advice for facing them?"

Federation Station, The Party

Between wanting to keep the soup from sloshing and the second screen of perception, there was a lot of simmering stress under the surface-

"Yeah! Just sorta saw the cliffs and was like 'you see that mountain? you can climb it' and... Yep!

You carefully lower yourself a bit to hold a more respectful eye level with the skull-bearer and give another smile.

"Your little buddy's nice. Is that a momma skull they've got or something else? Wait hold on, Cubone's foreign aren't they— well unless you count the isles... Where are you from?"

Fed Station, Deck 31

The helioptile gestured to his retinue. He seems pleased. He nodded patiently at the cooperative guards.

Machoke Majordomo: <His Excellency is pleased with your cooperation, my friends. You have served the Federation well. You have the gratitude of the Peoplemons of Great Heliopotalia. Dismissed.>

And with that, they returned the inspected files and bowed with a flourish.

The Defiant Wing

The Wing receives a transmission from Basiliscia. The image shows a machoke in flamboyant clothing beside a helioptile in a princely outfit.

The Real Count Abarata: <My friends from another world. On behalf of our people, especially of the lives you have saved, you have our everlasting gratitude. I'm still genuinely shocked that we were able to find you. We were desperate to get in contact for a Federation-sanctioned body double for several weeks now..>

The Real Majordomo: <Aye, sire. I found it fortunate that the Federation officials assigned us to an actual helioptile who looks just like you. >

Shutter: <Think nothing of it, Your Excellency.>

Majordomo: <Indeed. How did you manage to pull it off?>

Me: Yuki-sama! Daijobudesuka?^* Yuki! Are you okay?

Yuki: <Hai. Daijobu. Omotta hodo itaku wa arimasendeshita.>^* Yes. I am okay. It didn't hurt as much as I thought.

Yuki: Keikoku de arigatōgozaimasu.^* Thanks for the warning!

Bede: Now, Mawile! Use Play Rough!

Evelyn: Axon, use Psychic!

Me: Yuki, use Ice Beam!

-Mawile throws themselves at Yuki and Axon, however Axon's eyes glow a preternatural gold as he unleashes powerful waves of psychic energy on the Mawile, suspending it in midair. Yuki fires another subzero energy beam at Mawile. Axon then slams Mawile into the ground, knocking her unconscious.-

The pen rubbed Its non-existent chin as it pondered, Maybe... just maybe. It'd take a bit of juice to do so and prevent it from ruining that delightful meal you made.
