Holon City

-Kirk gives Rei a surprised look.-

Kirk: <Wait, what? Taking care of her? No, she just bounced over here and started splashing water all over me. And I get the feeling that that's something she does to everyone.>

Holon City

Sylva: -Smiles and nuzzles her head against Seth- <Practicing! Water Pulse! Not good at aiming... working on it! Saw mister fuzzygrumps hitting rocks in the air so Sylva thought he could help!>

-Giggles at Kirk talking about being splashed-

Joulant Town

Edge: <LEAVE ME ALOOOONE!> -Picks up the pace of his hopping-

Holon City

"<... Mr.Fuzzygrumps?>" said Seth, snickering quite a bit.

"<What a... Pffft... Cute little nickname.>" said Rei, then giggling for a bit "<I don't think a Lucario can teach you any moves though.>" she said to Sylva, having stopped giggling.

Sei-An City

Ammy: <I'm not sure either, you guys.>

- The group reaches Rao and presents the Prayer Slips to her-

Rao: What have you- My Prayer Slips! You found them? In this huge city? -jiggle-

Ammy: Yep!

-The Smeargle is observing the group intently now-

Rao: Thank you! Now I can ward off evil beings! Your ability to sniff things out really is a divine power! Amaterasu, could you use that power to help us?

Issun: <What's that? You're saying we're [the answer to your prayers?>

-Ammy biffs him-

Rao: I'm saying you're our only hope. Ryoshima Coast is in turmoil, and all because of the forces of darkness.

Issun: <[Forces of darkness?]>

Rao: Yes! Even the monsters pale in comparison to them, and they're all over Ryoshima Coast. With Lady Himiko confined to her castle, it's up to me. I would normally dispel the evil, but the forces are too great. I need your help!

Issun: <So we'd be helping that [suspicious] Lady Himiko after all? Hmm...>

Rao: I know some call her a coward for shutting herself away. But she's praying for our protection. But she can't calm the Water Dragon or purify the city... Not without the special object that enhances her divine power.

Ammy: <Object?>

Rao: Off the coast is a sunken ship. It was transporting a great treasure for Queen Himiko but the Water Dragon attacked it. The Fox Rods the queen had finally located vanished with it... If we had the Fox Rods now, we could drive off the evil beings! Amaterasu and companions... Join me on the sunken ship so we can find them!

Issun: -gulp- <[Sunken ship?] Well, we'd love to, but if [Ammy] says no...>

Ammy: <Sure!> ^_^

Issun: <HUH?!>

Rao: Amaterasu and friends, you are true savior! Meet me there when the moon shines in the night sky!

- Ammy nods and sets off-

Umbra's Castle

-Umbra and Duolis are in the throne room-

Holon City

-Lina nods and restrains the Clefable-

Joulant Town

The Mighty Caterpie: <   Caterpie spares no man, monster or child! All creatures shall bow down to the Mighty Caterpie!   >

Holon City

-Kirk glowers.-

Kirk: <I'm sure that the kid's got some embarrassing nicknames for you as well, "Daddy".>

Sei-An City

-Herbert follows behind, shrugging.-

Herbert: I have to say, exploring a shipwreck sounds positively relaxing considering the life-threatening situations we've been in thus far.

Spectra - Around 600 years ago

-Lucanus is patrolling the castle, whilst Libitina is trying to scare various guards by phasing through the walls. Since these are Spectran guards, she is having little success.-

Spectra Castle Throne Room

Magoichi walks into the room, meeting the gaze of the man heading the Spectran forces.

Magoichi: "Commanding warlord of Spectra...as much of a pleasure it appears to be to speak with you, I suspect that your intents past the alliance with Avia are hardly noble. Thus far, I've noticed plenty of questionable people and even more sketchy movements around and within the capital city. Explain yourself! Your words and actions past this point risk the cooperation of our kingdom."

Holon City

Phobos: <Th-thank you...>

-Emperor returns, carrying what appears to be a wine barrel, and singing horrifically off-key- <I USED TO BE AN AXOLOTL, I DID WHAT AXOLOTLZZZZZZ—> -collapses-

Phobos: -shudders- <Um...do you know what's going on, Lina?>

Joulant Town

Edge: <I WILL KNEEL TO NONE! And not just because I no longer have legs!> -Screeches to a halt and turns to face the oncoming flood of Caterpie-

<COME AT ME, BUG!>

Holon City

Sylva: -Tilts head- <Nickname...? Sylva thought it was his real one...>

Sei-An

I get the feeling this'll hardly be relaxing.

And I still have a bad feeling about this.

Joulant Town

The Mighty Caterpie: <   The time has come! YOUR END IS NIGH, WORM!   >

-He leaps off of the mound, and lands a few inches short of Edge.-

The Mighty Caterpie: <   YOU SHALL PERI—   >

-He's cut off by the massive mound of less-mighty Caterpie rolling on top of him and Edge-

Holon City

"<Not really. She just calls me "Daddy" or by my actual name.>" said Seth, still snickering a bit "<Anyway, his name is "Kirk", Sylva.>"

"<Oh please, you're looking at us like that just because of something silly like this? It's not like we're here just to make fun of you.>" said Rei, approaching Kirk a bit "<Though... You do look kinda cute when you're trying to be intimidating.>" she said, with a small smile

Spectra, 600 years ago

-Amhlaidh is shadowing Umbra, doing his actual job for once-

Holon City

-Kirk continues to glower, though the redness in his cheeks is clearly no longer solely the product of humiliation.-

Kirk: <Somehow I don't believe that. And seriously, why do people insist on calling me "cute"? Phione are "cute". I'm not.>

Holon City

"<Oh really? Denying just makes you cuter.>" teased Rei, flickering Kirk in the forehead "<By the way, you don't need to be such a tough guy all the time, showing your sweet side isn't going to kill you, you know? It's tiring to talk to a guy who wants to act tough all the time.>"

"<Now she's going to give him romantic advice?>" Seth thought.

Holon City, currently, this universe, near Umbra

-Monos is here-

Monos: Gods that was disorientating...

-Wait, what?-

Spectra, 600 years ago

-Monos is packing up a fair amount of his tools and materials-

Monos: Well, here it is. Time to go ply my trade elsewhere, somewhere where culture isn't forcibly stagnated through bread and war...

-He hoists his packed items onto his back, along with a large shield with a rather large seam down the middle-

Monos: But first, I think I should at least tell my daughter where I'm going...

-He heads out towards the palace-

-Uh... That doesn't explain the whole "Monos is here" thing, does it?-

Spectra, 590 years and a week or so ago

-Monos has just finished recording the stone disk Pent finds and listens to numerous years later-

Monos: Well... I suppose that's it then...

???: Was it really necessary to brush off your son-in-law like that?

Monos: I do admit it was a little... Harsh... But what's done is done, I can't really take it back and I don't have a spare blank in storage to use.

???: He's sorta right, Bardstones are rare.

???: Well, what if he could deliver his apology in person?

Monos: Hm? I don't see how that's possible.

???: You'll see~!

~Blip!~

-And Monos and the green voice are gone-

???: Uh... Guys? Where'd you go?

Holon City, currently, AU, where Umbra would be in the OT

-Monos was here a few minutes ago-

Monos: This doesn't look like the future, more like the middle of nowhere...

???: Oh, silly me, got caught in the wrong part of the timeline split.

~Blip!~

Holon City, currently, this universe

-And Monos is here now-

-And now you know why-

-And knowing is half the battle-

Holon City

-Kirk steps back a few paces, now quite clearly blushing through his fur.-

Kirk: <Erm... what gave you the idea that I'm like this all the time? Maybe I'm not. Who said I was acting in the first place, anyway?>

Sei-An City

-On the way out, Ammy notices a new weapon in a shop - a glaive named Seven Strike-

Ammy: <Ooh, new sword!>

-She buys it and equips it-

Umbra's Castle

Umbra: My dear Magoichi, what you see are essentials for ruling this kingdom! Nothing to be afraid of.

Duolis: -Notices Monos- Oh! Father! -hugs- What brings you here?

Holon City

Lina: I don't know...

Yomi: <We should tell the others!>

Holon City, near Monos

Umbra: -blinks- Dad? ._.

Driftveil - PEFE Branch Office - Likely Sometime in the Past By Now

-A certain male trainer is attempting once more to negotiate with a Weavile once more to convince her that her presence is needed elsewhere-

<(Ex-)Goon!Weavile: "*sigh* What now? You couldn't even think of a decent reason for me to head back last time!">

<Audrey: "Well... You like to fight, right?">

<(Ex-)Goon!Weavile: "So? I've been doing it here just fine!">

"Think about it... Haven't the times when you've been happiest fighting been the ones when you've felt like you've been fighting for something? When what you were doing had a purpose and gave others a reason to be proud of you?

... I mean, that is why you joined Scolipede and Liepard, right? This is your chance to fight for something"

<(Ex-)Goon!Weavile: "Meh. Not really. They just had tough enemies.">

"... Oh. Well, you'll have no shortage of those. There's an entire world full of dragons out there to fight." -_-;

<Teala: "Tracer, should you really be encouraging her like that?"> ._.;

<Baigan: "Yeah! Mommy says she's mean!">

<Nadia: "Um... Yeah... I was under the impression that it was bad to egg on sociopaths..."> -_-;

<(Ex-)Goon!Weavile: "... Alright, I'm in.">

"Uhm... Well... As many volumes as that speaks about your character... Thanks?" >.<

<(Ex-)Goon!Krokorok: "Cute, and why are the rest of us supposed to want to head back?">

<Vlad: "Erm... Well... Don't you all have homes and friends that you miss?">

<(Ex-)Goon!Luxray: "You expect us to be able to show our faces back there?"> :/

"Look... I realize that this is kind of an intimidating prospect for a lot of you-"

<(Ex-)Goon!Vibrava: "'Kind of'?">

"Okay, maybe it's a very intimidating process for some of you. But even from a purely selfish angle... This is more or less the best opportunity you all are going to have to be able to go home with your heads held up high for a very long time."

<(Ex-)Goon!Machoke: "... How's that?">

<Shaun: "When everyone's busy worrying about dragons, do you think that they're really going to focus so much on what you used to do if you're helping to protect them?">

<Thog: "Times of crisis do make for strange bedfellows, after all...">

"So that is my offer... For a chance to be able to be known as more than grunts on the losing side of a war... It'll be dangerous, and we don't know if it'll work...

But even if it doesn't... Won't it be worth it for the freedom it brings?"

<(Ex-)Goon!Grotle: "Come on guys... Please...?">

-Reluctantly-

<(Ex-)Goon!Zoroark: "... Look... It's not that we don't want to help...">

<(Ex-)Goon!Zweilous (Right): "It's just that we've been out of practice for over a year!">

<(Ex-)Goon!Krokorok: "Yeah, I mean getting remembered well kinda makes up for a bad paycheck... I guess... But I'd like to at least be alive to enjoy it!">

"Well then... Will you let us help you prepare a bit, then?"

<(Ex-)Goon!Zoroark: "... Fine, I guess we're in, too.">

Holon City

Sylva: <Ooooh~ Hiya Kirk! Heehee!>

-Snuggles with Seth- <Mommy was super happy last night... Sylva thought you'd like knowing that~>

Joulant Town

Edge: -Is squirming in the mound of Caterpie- <COME HERE YOU FAT SQUISHY BUG AND LET ME PUNCH YOUR FACE!> -Trying to find the Mighty Caterpie-

Holon City

"<Eh, I know your type. Besides, you're blushing, that makes it easy to guess, cute boy>" said Rei, giggling.

"<I wonder what that Bisharp is going to think of this.>" thought Seth, then looking back at Sylva "<She was? I wonder why...>" he said, even though he already knew.

Holon City

Monos: Ah, there you are. I have transcended the fifth dimension to speak with you.

Umbra's castle

Monos: -Hugs back- I came to say that I'm going on a trip. I just don't think I'm getting as much business here as I need so I'm going to travel around plying my wares.

Holon City

Phobos: (to Yomi) <O-okay...just don't take too long, I'm scared to be alone with this Clefairy...>

Amanita: Ow...my head...

-Emperor hiccups-

Kirk: <Erm... I have a girlfriend, you know.>

-He glances around, as if hoping not to spot Eowyn coming round the corner.-

Spectra Throne Room

Magoichi takes a quick glance back towards Monos, but swiftly returns his attention to Umbra.

Magoichi: "Essentials, you call it? As one who oft travels across the region, this example of what you present as essentials are far from common. Your actions are unfitting of the position you hold! I shall not let you endanger my friend's kingdom so easily."
