Oh wait, I stayed up late enough that this totally doesn't look like a timeskip. NVM, I'll continue. :P
Shalour
Alex: You are, though! The entire Fennekin line is beyond adorable~
(Svavel's eyebrow goes down.)
Svavel: <The feeling's mutual. You certainly look like you could hold your own.>
(Skugga, who by the way is femalehow the hell do you determine the gender of a ball of gas anyway I don't get it, grins and starts rotating wildly.)
Skugga: <Aww, thanks! You're really nice!>
(Tungvikt struggles.)
Tungvikt: <GAH! MIGHTY WRESTLER IS GOING TO GET COOTIES!>
(He breaks free from Cleo's grasp and flies off... right into the side of a wall. He just sort of hangs there from his beak like a luchador-themed clothes hook, unable to comprehend his predicament due to the force of his impact.)
(Crowley is here too, I hasten to add. And as soon as a certain Honedge detects Pakhet's presence, he suddenly snaps out of his rotating stupor and hovers there, perfectly vertical.)
Nevinson: <BAA BAA BLACK MAREEP, HAVE YOU ANY WOOL. NO, I DON'T. I'M A FRICKING SWORD. SD>

-Dune sighs as he heads toward the gym, unaware that a ninja was about to attack.-
Juri: <Hello, there, little fly.>
-Dune spins as the Medicham saunters out of the shadows of a nearby alley. His eyes go wide as Juri's right eye shines purple.-
Juri: <It's been a while.>
Dune: Spider.
-Juri laughs.-
Juri: <You remember me! Well, it doesn't look like your slingshot friend and her rat-with-wings are going to be saving you today.>
-She drops into a fighting stance as Dune reaches for his belt.-
Juri: <I'll take care of her later - for now... I'm going to make you pay.>
Shalour City
-Has decided to do a bit more training today-
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.Shalour City
Dune: Go, Candace!
-Dune throws the Ultra Ball, sending out the green Golbat.-
Dune: Acrobatics!
-Candace, not mincing words, dives at Juri, smacking and bopping her. The Medicham takes a few hits, but doesn't seem to show any pain.-
Juri: <Hah!>
-The Medicham backflips, a blade of psychic energy launching into Candace's face. She drops to the ground.-
Dune: Candace, return!
Juri: <Aw, come on! Is that the best you can do?!>
Dune: Go, Eos!
-Dune sends out the Mawile, who recoils in fear at the purple glow from Juri's left eye.-
Juri: <Aw, you're cute.>
Eos: <EEP!>
Dune: Come on, Eos - we're doing it!
-Juri blinks.-
Juri: <Doing what?>
Shalour
-Straw didn't sleep very well last night, and is now trying to fight off sleep by training Hades-
-Shalour City -Ren and co. walks out of the Gym - Ren's cane is an all wood one.-
Ren: I keep forgetting that Fighting types have access to Rock attacks like that.
-Ren sighs at how quickly Monochrome, Frightful, and Maxilar lost.-
Rio: <At least she didn't make a big deal about skipping the skating part.>
Shalour
-Dune lifts the sleeve of his left arm. Juri's eyes shoot wide at the sight of the Mega Bracer.-
Juri: <Where the hell did you get one of those?!>
Dune: Alright, Eos! It's morphin' time! (Ugh, that was terrible...)
Juri: <NOOOO!>
-Juri lunges at Eos with a High Jump Kick as he's enveloped in a pink aura of energy. Rather than the energy bursting, Eos launches out of the sphere, Dark Obscura erupting as rockets from his twin horns as he intercepts Juri in mid air. The Medicham is launched into the air as Mega Eos digs his fist into her gut.-
Mega Eos: <I shall overtake you as the Dawn overtakes the night!>

Arika's Mindsccape, after this
-Chrome pulls his hand back from the screen-
Human!Chrome: Wow...
-Ren sighs-
What's wrong?
Ren: When the Pendant and I merged... it wasn't complete. Wwe were different. Hence how it got a full new life while I was suppressed and could only experience it in part.
-She hangs her head-
I'm just an aspect now. A figment. Probably for the better, it kept Arika innocent...
Human!Chrome: ...
I'll find a way to make you whole. I promise.
Ren: ...Thank you.
-Chrome nods and fades out-

-Eos and Juri slow as the Dark Obscura fades. The Medicham hauls back and hooks Eos in the face with a Fire Punch, causing the two to spin away from each other, the two now falling. Juri rights herself using her Psychic expertise, and kicks at Eos with another Jump Kick.-
Juri: <I will NOT let some insect like you beat me!>
-Eos is kick in the gut as he wraps his hands around leg.-
Mega Eos: <Be...>
-The Mawile spins, flinging Juri straight down into the ground, following while glowing a pinkish aura.-
Mega Eos: <Silent!>
- A flash can be seen as Juri impacts the ground. Eos impacts... the ground. Juri is nowhere to be seen, the afterimage of what might have been a Magmortar seared into Dune's eyes.-
Mega Eos: <She... got away.>
-Eos calms, his form returning to a regular Mawile. He flops on his back, exhausted.-
Eos: <That... was... intense.>
Snalour, probably a couple days ago
-Chrome opens his eyes. So does Arika-
Arika: What did you find?
Chrome: -explains-
Arika: ...
She said she's incomplete... Maybe...
...
I- I'm not sure...
Chrome: <Think about it a little. You'll come up with something.>
-Puts his armband on and hugs. She hugs back-
Contact Me!-Reading the paper-
Looks like Unova's not the only part of the world suffering from a harsh winter, back home's screwed up too.

Pakhet: <Aww thanks little miss~ And hello there Nevinson>
Pakhet winks in a bag of cookies.
Pakhet: <Who wants a cookie?>
Montu: <I can defiantly hold my own there, matey. In fact, I often spent my spare time as a young'un wrestling with the local Hawluchas on the Menhir Trail>
Cleo giggles at Tungvikt and plucks him out of the wall, placing him on the ground.
Cleo: You got a funny one here~
Meanwhile, Pippi (who is also still here) walks over to Crowley's side and asks him a few questions.
Pippi: So, do those strange outfits of yours give you inspiration or something or do you just like wearing them?
Elsewhere, Fool is walking down the street and is conversing with a tall, young man with blonde hair in a tailcoat suit. The man is followed on his side by a Braviary and a Rotom-W while Fool is flanked by Visqueuse. It seems from the rather happy expressions on both of their faces that they are enjoying each others company.

I'm having to learn to pay the priceShalour
Nevinson: <YES. I WOULD APPRECIATE A COOKIE. SD>
(He floats over to the cookie bag... and accidentally slashes it open.)
Nevinson: <OH NO. I AM A MAREEP WITH NO MOUTH. I AM GOING TO STARVE TO DEATH. SAD BAA. DS>
(The falling cookies are snatched up by a combination of ribbons and vines. Rembrandt and Spalje chow down on their free meal.)
Svavel: <Ah. See, we... sort of have one of them in our presence, aaaand...>
(Tungvikt runs over to Montu after being detached from the wall!)
Tungvikt: <YOU! I KNOW YOU! YOU ARE TINY BLAZIKEN WHO FIGHTS WITH US MIGHTY WRESTLERS! WELL, I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU; I AM NOW CHAMPION OF ROUTE 10 HAWLUCHA!> (throws back his head and bellows) <DALOKOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSSS!>
Svavel: <No comment required, methinks.>
Crowley: (to Pippi) I consider clothing an art form. I'm also a firm believer in breaking convention for artistic effect. It's only logical, therefore, that I should blur the line between getting dressed in the morning and painting a masterpiece.
Dali: <Sorry. Don't speak pretentious. Please repeat.>
(Thankfully, Crowley can't understand the Ninjask resting on his shoulder.)

-Herbert is out and about with Bishop by his side, looking up at the Tower of Mastery.-
Herbert: ...You know, aside from the big-ass tower, there's really not much to this place. Dunno why they call it a city, honestly. You reckon we should go and visit at some point?
Bishop: <If you wish. Remind me why you keep asking me for sightseeing advice, again?>
Shalour City
-Deziree is wandering about, a certain icy Donphan at her side and Petilil on her shoulder.-
Deziree: Thanks for protecting me Hildr, but... You really ARE just a bit too close.
Hildr: <What makes you say that?>
Deziree: You're giving me hypothermia.
Hildr: <Oh! Woops!>
Anja: <Heeheehee! Auntie Hildr, you're funny!>
-Hildr backs off of Deziree's legs. Deziree looks over and waves at Ammy.-
Deziree: Oh, hey Ammy! Long time no see!
Route 12
Valorie starts slightly as Sparkers releases himself, smiling forgivingly after a brief moment.
"...Morning, Sparkers." she replied in a rather gentle tone. "It hasn't really been too good for me. All my pokemon need obedience training—Well, most of them. Charizard is... Haxorus eats other pokemon, Flygon won't stop whipping up sandstorms and Rex doesn't have any respect for me or my commands. I don't know what I'm going to do about half of these things." she admitted rather lamely.
Geosenge Town
Jessica looked around, gesturing to the local pokemon center. "I reckon' they've a restroom n' there where y'can get a bit of privacy." she offered casually. "Then if'n yer ready to move out we can. I betcha if we keep lookin' we're bound to find somethin' that counts as hero trainin'." she mused out loud.
I dropped out of school to become a pokemon master, but then they pulled me right back in to get my doctorate!Shalour City
Sakura and Teishi are somewhere in the city
"Okay, now that I taught you Hidden Power, I want to see if you're going to change into a unusual type." said Sakura, looking curious
"<'Kay! Where do I fire, though?>" asked Teishi
Sakura then points at a random tree. Teishi nods and then fires a Hidden Power, his body becoming metalic as he does so.
"... Oh my." said Sakura, then poking Teishi and seeing that yes, he's completely metallic now "... You're like a ninja robot frog."
"... That's awesome." said Sakura, looking amazed.
Teishi simply snickers in response.

-Herbert notices Samantha nearby and looks over at her.-
Herbert: Oh, hey again, Samantha. Pretty tall, isn't it? Makes you wonder if anyone's ever tried installing a diving board at the top or something.
-Meanwhile, Bishop gives the Scyther a cheerful smile and a wave.-
Bishop: <Good afternoon, Mort. How are you today?>
Near Deziree
Human!Ammy: Hi, Deziree!
-A Sun Vivilion floats by her-
Mephisto: <Greetings.>
Contact Me!Shalour
-Samantha nods-
I would. Seems interesting.
-she turns her head-
Incidentally, I suppose you could call me "Sam" if you want. If you feel daring, maybe "Sammy". "Sammi" is right out, though. There is a difference between Sammy and Sammi.
Mort: <Hello, Bishop-sempai!>
