-In the hallway-

<Audrey: "Oh... Um... Sorry... Whoever you are...">

<Milo: "... Are you alright?">

<Gene: "Yeah, if you're hurt, we could try and get some help... Not sure how that's going to work if we can't touch you, but...">

-Starting to get frustrated-

<Basket!Charizard: "   Fine then, we can play rough if you so desire...   ">

-Breathes a plume of flame at Ori, aiming to fry his gadgets-

Aqua: *is soaked by the rain* <   Yay, rain! ...Wait...this feels weird...   > *looks uncomfortable* <   Why does the water hurt?   >

Minty: *also getting wet* <   Eep! Too much water!   > *retreats*

Aqua: *retreats from Star, looking disturbed about the fact that water harms her now*

Uhh...

Crescent:<Sure!>

Aurora:<Crescent! No!>

Zero:-Transforms into a Charizard- <Okay, new perfect disguise!>

Mandarin Island South

-I have brought Ichtacya and Maekrite back, and we decide to go sleep before solving all pending issues tomorrow.-

-Algira, however, can't get herself to sleep-

Algira — <Oh Hel*hic*ios~ ... I miss you... I w*hic*onder if you are*hic* fine...>

Coast north of Hamlin Island

-Future me is setting up Copahue for a flight to New Island, with my mons commenting the time shenaniganned (in more than one sense) battle against the Deltas-

Ichtacya — <I still wonder if it is OK for us to go... should have been the former us, or whatever that works...>

Algira -flutters around- — <...Can w*hic*e get there, li*hic*ke, fast? I mis*hic*s Helios!!! And I feel he n*hic*eeds me~>

Rex: Oh no! *crawls in after Tagg, putting the grate back in place* Whew...that was close.

Kim: *crawling forward* What do we do now?

Rex: *also crawling* I don't know...

~~~

Aqua: *tries to mentally call Lake* < Mr. Gator?>

-Seeing Zero seemingly become a Charizard-

<Charizard!Zoltan: "   Yaay! You're one of us!   ">

-To Crescent-

<Charizard!Shaun: "   Glad to hear that.   ">

-Pokes Crescent-

-Inside the vents-

Helios...

Muddy: <We need to keep moving, staying here will help no one.>

Charizard!Doc: <   I'm Doc. Come closer, I have something to tell you all.   >

Charizard!Helios: -Comes into the ballroom after using a Sunny Day to get rid of the rain- <   I only want two things from you, some honey, AND MEMBERSHIP IN THE COLLECTIVE!!!   >

- Looking around at the rain inside the hallroom -

... Well done, Silvermist. Even if my hair and my costume are all wet now... and the rain drops are getting onto my glasses.

Silvermist: <You're welcome.>

Odette: <Guardé!> (adjusts her tiara) <Snap out of it!> (begins walking over, only to be stopped by Mira)

Mira: <Odette, calm down.>

Odette: <But mother...>

- Sees Helios come in -

Uh-oh...

Odette: <Aww... The rain went away...>

Silvermist: (starts using Rain Dance again)

Ribbons: <You want honey?> (telekinetically pulls a jar of honey out of my backpack) <Here you go!> (removes the lid and throws it at Helios)

Zero:<Ye-I mean    Yep!   >

Charizard!Crescent:<Ooh! I'm turning into    A Charizard!   

Valkon:<OH NO IT'S SPREADING THROUGH THE AIR!!>

-Valkon runs around in a panic-

Lake: <Oh, so you're what's making everyone act so strangely, then?>

???: <   YES! NOW, I TIRE OF THIS BANTER! GO! INFECT THOSE OTHER POKÉMON YOU WERE WITH! BRING THEM INTO THE COLLECTIVE!   >

Lake: <No, I don't think so.>

???: <   DELUDED FOOL. AS IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE ANY CHOICE IN THIS MATTER.   >

-Lake unconsciously begins to hover into the air.-

Lake: <What?! NO! I won't let you do this!>

???: <   YOU CANNOT RESIST! YOU ARE MERELY ONE MIND AGAINST MANY!   >

Lake: <NO! STOP THIS! RIGHT NOW!>

???: <   AND YET YOU CONTINUE TO RESIST. YOUR DEFIANCE IS AN ADMIRABLE TRAIT. BUT A TRAIT THAT WILL SOON CEASE TO BE, ONCE EVERYTHING IS CONSUMED.   >

Lake: <NO! ARGH!> -Telepathically.- SOMEMON! HELP! -Hears Aqua.- ...Hello?

Casval, now soaked from the rain, simply watches the situation unfold, with the occasional bite out of a Lava cookie.

"This is the most entertainment I've had in a while..."

"I dunno, some of them don't seem to enjoy it."

-In the hallway-

<Audrey: "... You know, you could try that trick on someone who's not an empath!">

<Milo: "Still... He might be hurt or something...">

<Gene: "... So who's going up to him, then?">

<Audrey: "It should either be me or Milo. We know Protect in case if he does what I think he's going to do...">

<Gene: "Alright, let's play a game then... Pick Fire, Water, or Grass.">

<Milo: "... Okay, that is not fair!">

<Audrey: "Not my problem that you're easy to predict!">

<Gene: "... Let's try this again... Pick a number between one and 10.">

<Milo: "5.">

<Audrey: "5- Darn it... 4.">

<Gene: "You're up, Audrey.">

<Audrey: "(*sigh*)">

-Draws near to Doc-

<Audrey: "So what was it that you wanted to tell me?">

.....Screw this! I'm not being turned into a Pokemon AGAIN! Especially if it involves some freaky Hive Mind!

-Gamer's ability Run Away allowed him to Run Away from all the Charizards! He his under the castle's dining room table!

-Meanwhile.....

Porygon Z: <Oh NO! THEY GOT ME!>

-With a melodramatic scream, he morphs into a Charizard.

Charizard! Porygon Z: <   [-Uh. Hahaha. Now to screw with the other's heads.-   ]>

-He begins flying around, attempting to touch anyone in sight.

Charizard! Porygon Z: <   WE ACCEPT YOU, WE ACCEPT YOU, ONE OF US! ONE OF US   !>

-He bumps into a random flock of Pidgey while chasing everyone, infecting` them as well.

-Begins walking around, looking for non-infected people to save-

Sweet mother of Arceus, what is happening here?

Aqua: < Well, umm...I was being a good mon and getting people to add to the collective, but someone sprayed me with some water and it hurt.> *sniffle* < I'm sad now.>

Charizard!Helios: -Gets clonked in the head by the honey jar- <   Ow, that hurt Ribbons!   >

-Gets distracted eating the honey, but not enough to not use another Sunny Day-

<   Why do you love the rain, the sun IS MUCH BETTER. Here, I'LL SHOW YOU!!!   

-Fires a Solarbeam at Silvermist-

Charizard!Doc: -To Audrey- <Just this.>

-Hits Audrey with a close range Attract before sweeping her with his tail-

New Island

-After some hours of flight (because the last future scene was itself time-delayed), Future!Copahue and Future!me arrive to the island. I release some of my Future!Pokémon, who are dressing for the occasion.-

-Algira flies around, keeping a light-blue pattern lit on her wings at all times. This couples with a reflective tincture and a cotton halo around her head gives her a distinctive image-

Navi!Algira — <Hey! Listen! Can we get inside soon? I don't want to miss more of Helios the party![▾]>

-Dintel is wearing a lot of yellow cotton around himself-

Mareep!Dintel — <I want to see the others already!> — equips two yellow-striped black cones on his ears — <They're going to love this!>

Copahue — <Do we have time for me to dress?>

— Sure thing, Copahue.

-I start producing some black and white makeup for Copahue-

- Silvermist is hit, but her held Rindo Berry weakens the blow somewhat -

Silvermist: <Ow!>

Ribbons: (smirks) <More honey?> (telekinetically takes out a few more jars of honey and empties their contents on the floor near Helios in an attempt to keep him distracted)

Silvermist: (uses Rain Dance again)

Odette: (looks at the Charizards, trying to figure out which one is Guardé)

Lake: 'Well, we're fire types, now aren't we? I'm guessing that water would hurt us pretty badly.

-Lake unwillingly catches up with the infected Guardé and Chord.-

Chord: <   Darn. They seem to have escaped.   >

Guardé: <   No matter. We shall soon find them and bring them into the fold.   > -To Lake.- <   I assume we can count on your for our help, brother?   >

Lake: <   No...NO! I wo-LET THE HUNT BEGIN!   >

Chord: <   Excellent. Stay with us.   >

-The two fly off, Lake having no choice but to follow.-

???: <   WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO RESIST? WITH ALL AS ONE, THERE WILL BE NO MORE FEAR, NO MORE HATRED, NO MORE SORROW. WOULDN'T THAT BE A WONDERFUL?   >

Lake: <But...If the world was like that, then there would be no joy! No passion! No...love.>

???: <   HMPH. SUCH USELESS EMOTIONS. WE SHALL HAVE NO NEED FOR ANY OF THEM WHEN ALL IS ONE.   >

Lake: <Well, that's not going to happen! I'll stop you! Somehow!>

???: <   AND JUST WHAT WERE YOU PLANNING TO DO NOW THAT YOUR BODY IS NO LONGER YOUR OWN? AS FASCINATING AS IT IS TO WATCH YOU STRUGGLE, IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR ALL OF USE IF YOU JUST GAVE UP NOW. THERE IS NOT POINT TRYING TO RESIST.   >

Calm!Lake: <I was wrong. This guy is worse than you.>

Feral!Lake: <...I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or not.>

Aurora:<Crescent, why did you get infected?>

Charizard!Crescent:<   JOIN US!   > -lunges at Aurora-

Aurora:-dodges- <Eek! No way!>

-Crescent lands on Magellan and Chloro, who were not aware of their surroundings-

Charizard!Magellan:<   What is this? I'm a Charizard now!   >

Charizard!Chloro:<   Weird...   >

-Meanwhile, Solstice and Twilight are in their rooms, oblivious to what's going on-

Solstice:<I feel like I 'm missing something here.>

-Is awake, but dressed in a full suit of armor I found mounted in a hallway-

Crewe is still hanging out outside the party, playing on her iPod.

Anakin and Skywalker are seriously considering the wisdom of going out alone with Dana after she's had several pieces of candy.

Aqua: *mental link is interrupted by evil voices in Luke's head* <   ...I don't wanna be a fire type.    > *flies away sadly, trying to block out the demands to infect*

~~~

Eventually, Rex and Co. reach another room.

Rex: Phew...okay, I don't think anyone is here.

Yeah, here looks safe.

-Notices some Lava Cookies-

And it has snacks.

Charizard!Helios: -Starts eating the honey- <   YUM!   >

Charizard!Crochet: -Nearby- You're supposed to be infecting them, not taking their food. I'll have to handle this myself.

-Busts through the wall right behind DS and her mons and attempts to grab one of them-

-Is walking around, wearing a Cheshire Purrloin costume and wondering whe the hell everyone is-

By the way, I'm just gonna say Meddler reached a HUGE plot twist in the book she was reading, and sent Benny and Qui-Gon away so she could read on. Sadly, Benny and Qui-Gon hadn't gotten the chance to tell her about Crewe and Jab before she sent them away, so she STILL doesn't know.
