Mr. Fire: You will be giving all of your savings to my bank account, not to mention that I'm docking your insurance.
Another Dewford
...Please don't call me that again. Ever. And what the hell is a platypus?
Espio: <She wasn't like this the last time we met.>
-Pulls out a Lava Cookie-
Here, eat this. It'll make you more coherent.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Lugaid: "...Oh? Insurances as well? Darn, there goes my house by the desert..."
The Magma grunt sighs. At that time, Lugaid steps ahead and ponders something for a moment.
Lugaid: "May I ask what is this for, sir? We are pretty sure that Team Aqua was in cahoots with the Sinnoh weirdos and the nefarious plan of the scientist has been stopped!"
Fanfic Recs orwellianretcon'd: cutlocked for committee or for Google?
Where Anom is
- Volcarona continues flying towards Lilycove -
Volcarona: <So, my sources say that the others will be heading over to Sinnoh after this, although some might be heading to Johto/Kanto.>
Where Sierra is
Sierra: (notices Vyvyan) Vyvyan!
The Wanderer
Mr. Fire: So that more money can be made, of course.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
-I am in Lilycove, far from the Mightyena pack that had been recurring throughout Hoenn-
If we ever come back here, remind me to avoid the pack.

The Camerupt buffs something and steps aside, a bit tired. As is Lugaid.
Lugaid: "...More money? Why money?" pounds on his wheelchair. "We are fighting for the welfare of the Pokémon who live in these precious lands. And we are risking our necks at it. Sir."

Veilstone City.
The Delibird and Salamence miss their target of the Veilstone Gym... and bullet strait towards the Pokemon Center.
Gummy: <OH CONFOUND IT ALL! @_@>
As the Salamence crashes, the Delibird flutters her owner down to the ground.
Melody: <Yah should be more careful Gummy!>
Cuno: <That looked like it hurt...>
Elsewhere
Vyvyan: SI-
Vyvyan: <It keeps hapening...>
Vyvyan slinks to the ground.

Solana: -Haphazardly taking the cookie- A platipuz is something that goes "Vuvuvu"... Like a motrbyike or a vyuvuzeals *vyvquaza *vuvuzeala *hic*.
Solana: Urrgh...
Solana takes a good look at the bottle in her hand.
Solana: Man this stuff is strong...
Solana turns around and sees Tagg.
Solana: -Blushing friviolously- Umm... hi. Oh Arceus he saw me drunk! How embarassing!
Anja licks her paw in the background.

Where do I go?
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
Where Anom is
Volcarona: <I don't know, but if I had to guess, I think you'd prefer going to Sinnoh. Should we try to pick up Tentacruel before we eventually go there, or should come back for him later?>
Where Sierra is
Sierra: Whoa! (runs over to Vyvyan, kneeling down beside him) You okay? (pets him)

Grunt: "That logic sounds so broken to me..." — tries to walk away.
Lugaid -bats an eyebrow: "Honestly, sir? Any [investment] I'm not briefed about yet? Because with this awesome mobile base we bought to [REDACTED] it seems we are quite well put."

Mr. Water: Bzzt! Brrst! Ground-Fault! Ground... BOOM!
-the last word was not spoken, but exploded-
Rotom: <Brzt...>
<No! I am... exposed!>
Ryklys: So. We've been played...
If I stuff you in a washing machine, you will be Water-type, correct?
Rotom: <Um... I don't like where this is...>
Ryklys: Anne! Hypnosis!
Anne: <Sleeeeep~>
Rotom: <N-n-zzzz...>
Ryklys: And the catch is made... -throws an Aqua Ball at the Rotom, catching it-
Now, then... -turns to Aqua- you technically defeated our boss, Vaporeon... which brings us to an awkward position.
Bartholomew: -prepares to translate-

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Vyvyan props himself up off the ground.
Vyvyan: <I'm okay! I'm okay!>
Vyvyan then does a Double Take.
Vyvyan: <SIERRA! YOUR SAFE>
Vyvyan hugs Sierra.
Vyvyan: <The six of us! We were able to stop the Caldera! Rayquaza told me that he was glad for our help! Buggle and Depthcharge told me that Groudon and Kyogre told them the same kind of message.
...Then Rayquaza told me he was going off to a "Great Slumber", but I got the impression that he really meant "Short Nap". I think Legendaries like to exaggerate some things.
Anyway, I'm just happy to see you again!>
Another!Dewford.
Solana: Umm... yeah. -blushing- Sorry you had to see me like that... 5 o'clock isn't really the best time to contact me...
So... um... what brings you here?

Lilycove City: Team Aqua HQ - Boss' Quarters
Aqua: <Silly human~> *saunters over to the chair* <I have planned this takeover since I first heard of Team Aqua.>
Flashback
Aqua: <There's a team named after me? Are they a fanclub for me?
>
Harriet: <...Well, I guess they are a fanclub for Water Types, but not a very nice one.>
Chord: <Yeah, you don't want to get caught up in anything they're doing. Trust us on that one.>
Aqua: <Awww...why not?>
End Flashback
Aqua: *sits in the chair and rotates around to face the window* Upon hearing that Team Aqua, a former criminal organization had become an organization operating under legal means, I surmised that there must have been a splinter faction that still operated under its old MO. After all, it's hard to stomach change. So, I ensured that I would have a suitable bait to lure out the old members and crush them in one fell swoop~>
Flashback
Rex: Anyway, I guess I'll see you around, Kim. We'll be in touch.
Kim: *nods, stepping a bit closer and pulling him into a small hug* See you later, Rex.
Rex: *hugs back, somewhat awkwardly*
Aqua: *paws at his bag, loosening the bag of gems slightly*
End Flashback
Aqua: <Thanks to the various tutoring programs I received in my Ranger studies, I was able to calculate the location the bag would fall judging by the usual rate of speed by which Spathi traveled. From there, I intended to retrieve the bag myself. However, I was met with a fortunate blessing.>
Flashback
Don Zigzagoon: *has a bag dropped on his head* <Eeeee!> *shakes his head, looking inside of the bag* 
*seals it back up and looks around* <Returning lost items is the responsibility of a courteous citizen. :3> *heads for Lilycove*
End Flashback
Aqua: <Yes, the silly Pokemon known as Don Zigzagoon provided me with the means of transformation; something I used to great effect!> *paws at the window* <Knowing the J-Team would undoubtedly be drawn to my presence and show a desire to be seen as heroes, I allowed them to defeat me so that I would return to my smaller form.>
Flashback
Aqua: *notices Every* < Oh, hi! I remember you; you're grandpa's friend! :3 > *turns to Every* < Are you going to help me get smaller again? >
End Flashback
Aqua: <Yes, in my smaller form I was a much easier target. And, in order to ensure that the radical Aquas did not acquire that power, I sent the gems to the far corners of the world. It was an easy feat.> *turns back around to face Ryklys* <After all, I was well aware of the power of the gems seeing as I provided one of them in the first place.>
Flashback
Aqua: *slightly garbled* <I couldn't find the trenchcoat man. But I did find this!> *spits out the shiny object, revealing it to be yet another gem*
Rex: Oh, thanks Aqua.
End Flashback
Aqua: <At that time I was unaware of this group's existence, but what turned into a simple present for my grandfather ended up evolving into the final variable of my equation! Just according to keikaku. (Translator’s Note: Keikaku means plan.)> *licks her paw*
Monitor: *lowers from the ceiling, showing recent news footage of Mt. Pyre*
Aqua: <Deciding to sit back and watch things unfold, I let you all play your little games under the control of your secret leader: Charon. Of course, I had received word that he had gotten out of jail from a wooden Psyduck. A girl has to have an information network, you know, and what better network than the International Police? Sure enough, the J-Team involvement led to the ruin of your benefactor, leaving your groups without adequate leadership. And thus, I have arrived before you now!>
Monitor: *switches to a picture of the Team Aqua emblem*
Aqua: <You see, every move I have made in Hoenn has been precisely calculated for this moment: my glorious takeover of Team Aqua!> *purrs and wags her tail* <Now I am the leader of this group and you all must obey me!
Monitor: *switches to an image of Aqua in a pirate suit*
Aqua: <And our first order of business is...giving hugs to strangers! :3>
