Route 13/Lumiose Badlands
Ever: -leaning against a rock and enjoying the weather- ...This is nice.
Cuseinga: -flying around in the wind- <This is better than nice! This is awesome!>
Ephemera: -has been playing in the dust, occasionally scaring Gible or Trapinch-
Letter: -rooted in the ground to avoid blowing away-
Gattaca: -has recalled herself to avoid getting her fur dusty-
Skoll: -pressed up against Ever, seeming confused-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Lumiose Badlands
Mezzo: The wind doesn't really remind me of home... well, okay, maybe Route 4.
-the wind lifts Fortis and Strahl up into the air-
Fortis: Eeep!
Minty: <I'll save you, my lady!>
-Minty does a swooping dive to catch Strahl, but ends up going straight through him-
Strahl: <Why...>
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.Lumiose Badlands
Ever: Oh, I liked Route 4. The desert was always so relaxing.
Ephemera: -giggles at Fortis and blows dust at them-
Meanwhile
-Cuseinga lands in a patch of dirt-
???: <Aha!>
???: <Brunch!>
???: <Oh no, it's breakfast.>
???: <Nonsense, it's midmorning. This is brunch.>
???: <It could be lunch. What time is it, even?>
???: <It's very hazy.>
-Cuseinga looks up at the source of the voices...-
-to find a single Trapinch that appears to be talking to itself-
Trapinch: <In any case, we have a meal now.> <Oh yes!> <Positively lovely.>
Cuseinga: -blink-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Lumiose Badlands
Mezzo: I never really thought so. I just got a bunch of sand in my eyes. And the Desert Resort was even worse.
-Minty dives through Strahl and grabs Fortis, but this causes Strahl to float away further-
Fortis: Oh no! We have to catch him!
Minty: <At once, my lady!> -flies toward Strahl-
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.Lumiose Badlands
Ever: Oh, well then. -hugs- Guess I know where not to take you if we go on a date back in Unova.
Ephemera: -Abra-
Meanwhile
-Cuseinga attempts to leave the patch of dirt, but the sides are slippery and he falls back in-
Trapinch: <Don't be silly, there's no escape!> <Now just hold still, and we'll bake you for a bit...> <I think we should make a quiche out of this one, don't you?> <Oh yes, a quiche would be lovely right now.>
Cuseinga: <Hey! I don't know what you're talking about but I'm a Helioptile, not a Keesh! So you don't get to eat me!> -shocks the Trapinch, to no effect-
Trapinch: -waddles off, and returns with a Sun Stone- <Just hold still!> <This won't hurt for long, I promise.>

-Mezzo hugs back-
Mezzo: Yeah, if we went on a date it'd be to somewhere like... I don't know, Marvelous Bridge maybe. Or maybe we could go for a ride on the Royal Unova...
-Minty flies toward Strahl, who suddenly vanishes into thin air!-
Minty: <What in the world?>
Fortis: Oh my gosh!
-he then reappears behind them, and Fortis catches him by the rudder as he floats by-
Fortis: I got you!
Strahl: <Finally...>
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Coumarine City
-Eskay's grin widens-
Eskay: Tell him I said "welcome back".
