Vris: Did you stitch it back up like this?

Pyre: Yep, well, I tried, Reid helped me out the best he could, too, but I... didn’t intend for that to happen... but you can’t predict modified Pokemon’s powers...

Vris: Right, the whole Kryona thing, right?

Pyre: Yeeah... I guess Reid explained that to you?

Vris: A good chunk of it, yeah,including your story.

Pyre: O-Oh... r-riiight... I probably... didn’t need to recap then... h-hahah...

Vris: Relax, Reid told me that Rteddy... was being... Rteddy... I trust you.

Pyre: Phew-uh-I mean-yeah...! I don’t get how you guys handle all of... that.

Vris: Did we, though? I’m not sure, honestly...

Pyre: H-hahah... Fair enough... and uh, random question... d-do you sometimes get this feeling that... maybe... juuust... maybe... it’s... watching you...?

Vris: You too, huh...?

Pyre: That... can’t be a good thing... right?

Vris: It’s... not, but outside of being very, very creepy... they don’t... do anything... even Reid’s seen them-

Pyre: Riight, I remember... he had a huge breakdown after it.

Vris: Tch, makes sense... anyway, Reid can-or well-could sew?

Pyre: Yeah, apparently, but he says it’s hard to do really precise stuff with his right arm, oh and he got super good at building things too, made a bunch of communication devices out of some bracelets he had and stuff and was able to fix a bunch of things, you know?

Vris: Oh yeah, he was always good at making machines... but they weren’t always “good”...

Pyre: Rteddy?

Vris: Rteddy.

Pyre: Right, hah... well, I’ll let you get some re-

Vris: Wait, do you still have those sewing tools around?

Pyre: No, but I bet Camomile has something we could use, why?

Vris: Do you still have Reid’s bandanna? He told me he lost it when Faril and Sean attacked him.

Pyre: Yeah...! But, aren’t you tired?

Vris: Very, but this’ll only take a few minutes... I have some sewing skills too... heh! And Pyre-

Pyre: I’ll be right back...!

Qui: Not now, “Terrie”!

Terry: I-it didn’t work this time;;

Ian: W-what was pronouncing her name wrong even... supposed to... do...?

Cecil: Distract her, probably.

Chamomile: W-well, she’s going to upset my neighbors...

Gino: ...

Pyre: She’s already upset me...

Dicie: Don’t do anything rash...

Pyre: That’s a lot-

Dicie: Coming from me? Yes, I know... but please don’t, if what Terry said is true, they’re family.

Alan: Okay... f-from the top...

---------

Qui: ... So, all of that... oh gods... Alan-

Alan: I-I know...

Qui: These scars, your tail, too... not to mention those two Pokemon with you... if I wasn’t-

Alan: Hey, you have your own life, ‘cuz... I made bad choices, and I’m lucky I ran into everyone here.

Qui: There’s also the whole “your dad’s a mutant” thing... how could we have not noticed that about Uncle...?

Alan: A-ahah... no idea...

Qui: And where’s Bartholomew? I wanted to actually see how he’s changed...

Alan: W-what?! I just woke up a few minutes ago-Bartholomew’s HERE???

Terry: Y-yep... he’s on our side now, apparently the Strident Knights disbanded or something, too... but I have no idea where he wandered off to.

Qui: Huh... well... all of that aside, miss Chamomile... I apologize for my overreactions and yelling...

Chamomile: T-thank you... Hah... I think I’ll hold off on a nickname tonight. You’re a fiery one though, Qui, actually made me... nervous.

Alan: She might not have the same traits as me because her mom wasn’t taken by Team Machine, but Qui’s still scary when she’s angry.

Ian: T-tell me about it...

Alan: Hah-

Ian: N-no seriously...

Qui: Ian.... I’m not that bad when I’m angry... anyway, these “Mutants”... I should probably introduce myself properly... my name is Qui... it’s a pleasure to meet you all and thank you for everything you’ve done for my cousin.

Dicie/GIno: Mmhmm...

Pyre: Humph...

Qui: Um...

Alan: Congrats, you actually scared them into silence... didn’t know that was possible...

Qui: ... Ah... and Pyre?

Pyre: Yeah...?

Qui: I, well, I apologize for being so rough with Alan... it’s a family thing and he’s like the baby of our entire family... even though we’re cousins, I view him like a sibling. Plus, I do hope we can-when everything on your end calms down-we can maybe hang out? I’d love to get to know more about you-if... that’s OK?

Pyre: Huh...? Sure... I guess?

Alan: ... Hah... phew...

Ian: Hey... where’d Cecil go?

Chamomile: Do I lie about that? Really, Clarky-Cake? I’ve happily done it be-

Clark: Of course you’d pull out that nickname with new faces around-

Terry: When did-

Clark: NOT ANSWERING.

Chamomile: Well, they’re not new faces to me, just to counter that statement. Crysta’s told me all about them. Too bad the curious one isn’t here, Reid... I’d love to meet him, though I doubt he’d remember me-

Clark: Yeah, because the Pikachu he was given to make him isn’t the exact same-

Chamomile: Yes, but I’d still like to apologize to the little Nanab Pop... in one way or the other, plus, he’s a carnivore too, aaah, I’d love to chat with him about the types of flavors he’s-

Clark: Please stop.

Pyre: Um...

Chamomile: Oooh, you’re little Pyre right? A curious Sneasel... Hmm, not exactly, but you remind me of a Salac Berry, hmm... I haven’t had those since my battling days...

Clark: Earth. To. Chamomile.

Chamomile: Riight, right, I’ll stop, I still need to think up-

Clark: Focus on the concerned Sneasel over there, if you know everything you know-

Chamomile: Yep, yep, I do, breathe, I thought having your back ruined would’ve sobered you up a bit Clark-Cake... Anyway, Pyre...

Chamomile: Oh, no worries, my little Saffron Bun~

Bartholomew: What’s that...?

Chamomile: Oooh, maybe if you traveled the world after all is settled, you’d get to try it! Anyway, your question’s about my appearance, yes?

Bartholomew: Yeah...

Gino: Are you a mutant??

Terry: That’s rude to ask, Gino...

Clark: Agreed...

Chamomile: Not really, though, in a sense, I am a mutation, not in the same way you all are, more like Bartholomew there: genetically different because of my family bloodline. I’m a Botaren Meganium. To specify, that’s a form of Meganium from the archipelago nearby, many of the islands are full of their own “regional variants” like me, we’re all carnivores, but, I know who’s friend or food, no worries there~

Bartholomew: I... see... though, normally Meganium are a bit bigger than-

Chamomile: Oh, that’s because I was removed from my home when I was still young, and a Chikorita! Those who still live in their natural habitat... are much bigger than me, and hungrier too, I bet.

Bartholomew: Oh...

Terry: I-I see...

Gino: Why are you guys acting so awkward... you don’t eat meat??

Bartholomew: You do??

Pyre: Totally!

Terry: Well that makes sense for a Sneasel...

Clark: Eegh...

Chamomile: Well, I’m not sure what exactly you two eat, but I do have some lovely things stored up, all kinds of foods,-berries too for the light weights over there~

Bartholomew: H-hey...!

Chamomile: Follow me, I’m sure you’ve all been through a rough night and need some R&R, right? Everything’s going to be fine now, I’d leave things to Clark and Carla when it comes to that egg trouble too, they’re good souls~

Clark: Wait... but we don’t have any leads-

Terry: And how do you know about that??

Chamomile: Clark-Cake... you know as well as I do that someone around here sells various human items in the Under and other secluded places... Let’s see if they sell eggs too, yes? And I can only assume the Albino-looking Pikachu, Pinkan-looking Froakie and the the Riolu with the cane are looking for something similar? They’ve asked a lot of Pokemon in the area about eggs and those selling them... some weren’t too eager to answer and ignored them, but some know you Clark-Cake, go for it~

Clark: ... Leave that to me: Terry, Bartholomew, you’re with me!

Terry: What? Why me?? I’m hungry...

Clark: I’m not wandering around the Under alone, I can’t fight well, but you two can-

Terry: I suck at fighting!

Bartholomew: Maybe we can get something for the road...?

Terry: What-

Clark: Besides, you two need to talk, I bet.

Terry: What-

Bartholomew: That’s fine.

Terry: WHA-

Chamomile: No shouting with a patient sleeping, Choco-Nanab Pop~!

Terry: Choco-Nanab...? Yeah... I think I’ll go with you guys...

Clark: Perfect.

Pyre: I mean, we did agree to talk more after taking those recording things, right?

Alan: Yeah...?

Pyre: So, if you’re saying that’s a compliment... then you look nice too! Your fur color’s really-uhh.... pleasing on the... eyes???

Alan: Pfft...

Pyre: What? WHat’s so funny?? Did I compliment you wrong???

Alan: No, no, you’re fine-thank you!

Zenix: I won’t let him die, so long as you answer quickly, simply, there’s a settlement that should be capable of handling a wound to the side like that quite easily.

Pyre: ...

Zenix: What do you know of the Scrafty and Ralts that took Reid away?

Pyre: ...

Zenix: ... What-

Pyre: You died... right? Why hurt Alan so badly...? Why...? Why...?

Zenix: ...

Pyre: I guess... either you reincarnated as a ghost, which doesn’t make sense if you’re still hunting Reid... did Rteddy do this? Terry’s story fits... Rteddy’s followers were after you, weren’t they...?

Zenix: I see you’ve done your own-

Pyre: If you know so much, you’d know how much time Alan and I spend together when we’re able to, for the last few weeks since Kryona was saved... since we had to try and escape it-even before we started seriously talking, I... enjoyed his company... why? Why do this? Why are you here? Why didn’t you stay dead...?

Zenix: ...

Pyre: Do you know... Project Green...? Which of the four was the strongest of the Alphas? Don’t you remember...? Or did Rteddy wipe that memory away? Mind if I show you? You want answers, right? We can talk... let’s talk, please.

Zenix: ... I-

Pyre: OOooh, no I insist!

Gareth: A friend of Carla’s, if that helps.

Pyre: You... know... Carla...?

Gareth: That’s right, now... who is this Dusknoir and why is he after Reid?

Pyre: He’s... his name is... Zenix... he’s following Rteddy’s ideal of... I guess... watching Reid for them...

???: Zenix? And here I thought Zenix was a Scrafty... not that it matters right now.

Zenix: However... something seems familiar about you all...

Carla: Okay? If you’re going to stick around, why don’t I ask some questions: What exactly is Rteddy and why are you observing Reid and his actions? Why are you going out of your way to send his friends to some other world? What’s the point in that?

Zenix: ... Hmm...

Carla: Hey-

Bartholomew: Gone...? How? What happened??

Terry: Why should I... tell you...?

Bartholomew: At this point, I’ve quit the Knights... there’s a lot we’re going to need to talk about, if you didn’t hear from Alan-

Terry: I did.

Bartholomew: Then why don’t you-

Terry: Habits... anyway, someone took him and now we’re all scattered because of it and someone stealing an egg from us.

Bartholomew: Great...

Zenix: I gained some understanding here... hmm... well-

Zenix: Nor the others; I am merely to watch, and I have broken that strategy, believing I’d get answers... at least I remembered some things in the process. Allow me to disable my curses. Goodbye.

Carla: Hold on, wait-aagh...

Pyre: Carla?

Carla: ... Ah...

Gareth: Phew...

Gareth: That’s right, I’m a creation of Team Rockets-a natural born Eevee modified genetically to only be able to evolve into my base forms...

Pyre: Oh...

Carla: He sympathizes with you all, honestly... I can’t blame him either.

Pyre: Oh! Well... it’s nice to meet you, Gareth!

Gareth: Likewise, how do you feel?

Pyre: Better without that curse... but... um...

Carla: Huh? Aah...

Carla: Ah...

Gareth: Great, so, we only know of a Scrafty and Ralts that took Reid thanks to this Zenix character...

Carla: Well, I might have an idea of who they are...? I think, at least...

Gareth: Well, let’s focus on one thing at a time... Alan over there-

Pyre: R-right! Is he-

Clark: Seems that Zenix character damaged him pretty badly, but it wasn’t a deep wound, painful very likely, but that curse combination of his...

Terry: Is he going to be okay??

Clark: He’ll need a lot of rest, maybe...

Carla: Then, let’s head for the Under, I... guess...

Bartholomew: Are you sure about that? Shouldn’t we-

Gino: We have to find Reid.

Bartholomew: Right, why don’t we spli-

Clark: No more splitting up or going solo. The others from their group went there, so we’ll go there too, we’ll regroup, because it’s very obvious who likely has Reid right now...

Pyre: Who???

Clark: Lugia-

Terry: That’s a joke, right? What would a Legendary Pokemon want with Reid? Outside of King-

Clark: Shadow Pokemon, obviously.

Terry: ... ... Let’s... go to the Under and regroup.

Clark: I’m glad you’re still rational...!

Bartholomew: I’ll carry him, should we try teleporting there? Carla?

Carla: ... hmm...

Bartholomew: Carla!

Carla: Huh? Oh... yeah, maybe... I should be able to pull it off...

Bartholomew: You okay?

Clark: Carla?

Pyre: ...?

Gareth: ... Hmm...

Terry: Okay, guys, can we stop and get a move on??

Gino: Y-yeah... I’m really worried about Alan, he... lost a lot of blood, you know...!

Bartholomew: R-right...

Carla: I’ll be right there...! Just give me a moment to prepare... ... ...

Carla: Coming...!

...

Lugia’s... presence is... welcoming...? I... I don’t... like this... but... I-I need to go to the Under... yeah... that’s all... no wonder Clark was so suspicious of me... oh man... I need to focus...! Alan needs help... right!

Reid: No she didn’t. Don’t lie to the blind kid!

[askthepokemutants]

Clark: Just the two of you though??

Gareth: Exactly. If Lugia is on our side because of their connections with Mewtwo, we do not have to worry about any betrayals or any attacks... unless Lugia told their Proxies nothing, which is also possible...

Clark: And-

Carla: I’m going regardless of your arguments, Clark... I’m old enough to make that decision, you know that, right, technically I’m your boss if we’re still following Strident Knight rules here...

Clark: ...

Terry: This isn’t awkward at all...

Gino: Better to ignore it then...?

Terry: Smart move...

Bartholomew: Is this really the place to pull out ranks...?

Carla: No, but, I’m going to need Clark’s medicines.

Clark: What??

Carla: Come on... we’re losing time here...~

Clark: ... fine, whatever, I’m not letting you sneak off with my shadow locator though-if you don’t come back-I’m looking for you, got it?

Carla: Got it. Thanks, Clark.

Clark: Humph...

Gino: What kind of statements...?

Clark: Chamomile’s a carnivorous version of a species of Pokemon you might be familiar with...

Gino: Huh??

Terry: Carnivorous version... um... should we be-

Clark: She’s nice, just... I guess a bit eccentric, don’t be surprised if she nicknames you after foods-

Pyre: Huh???

Bartholomew: Let’s just get down there... I don’t think I want to know more...

Terry: Well, I still want to know what kind of Pokemon we’re dealing with here...!

Dicie: Since we’ve come here, Leo, Pyre and I haven’t been able to focus, Gino made a promise to keep watch, he failed at that, he’s lazy-useless...

Gino: I... I’m sorry...

Terry: I think you’re taking this too far, Dicie. It’s just as much my fault, since I was supposed to take over-

Dicie: Then you’re useless too; at that... you’re just as weak-if not weaker than Leo-

Terry: Excuse me?

Leo: Dicie... we’re not built for fighting, so what-

Dicie: Then what happened will happen again and again; everyone will die, because no one can defend themselves. Sometimes it feels like I’m the only one with any kind of power here-

Hikari: Dicie, you sound like Vou, before he decided to run away-and subsequently died... just like him, you’ve changed, both physically and in attitude... do you want to die too? Because that’s how you die around us.

Dicie: ...

Alan: What the hell, Hikari-

Hikari: Someone needed to say it-there’s too many problems building on top of each other right now-a third one is NOT needed, obviously.

Alan: Yeah, but-

Leo: Um, sorry to interrupt, but... I know my senses are a bit compromised, but... where’s Reid...?

Alan: Reid-

Hikari: He’s disappeared, and the only signs of him are a struggle and blood-lots of it-

Alan: Hikari, seriously-

Leo: What????

Terry: What the hell happened while we were sleeping!?

Hikari: I don’t know, I doubt it’s all connected either, but it’s still so sudden and strange... we need to think of a plan of action, right now, I-

Peroxide: Wait, don’t...

Hikari: I’m sure you’ve seen how well just the egg missing was received.

Peroxide: Yeah, I know... just listen.

Hikari: Am I seriously supposed to believe some random Pokemon defeated Vris? That’s-

Peroxide: Well, it happened... anyway, they sell things that humans often have easy access to in the Under and other places, at least, that’s what I’ve heard-

Hikari: Then, I’m going there. Whoever took it, obviously plans to give it to them-

Alan: Hold on Hikari-

Hikari: I’m not waiting, I’ve made up my mind already-

Pyre: Slow down-

Hikari: No-the last time we slowed down we lost Vou and that egg was all that was left of him-what happens if we slow down this time?

Pyre: I... well-

Alan: We can’t let you go alone-

Leo: I’ll go, I doubt I can help with Reid’s situation since there’s probably going to be fighting involved...

Dicie: I’ll go too.

Leo: ...

Alan: Um...

Hikari: That works fine for me, fighting isn’t necessarily a priority: Leo should be comfortable reading emotions if we get farther away from whatever it emitting this strange aura, and Dicie’s strong enough to handle herself-or someone else if it comes down to that.

Peroxide: Um-

Hikari: I know what I said, but she’d follow us anyway-better to avoid her getting into trouble with her Vou-like mindset.

Dicie: Humph....

Hikari: The rest of you try and find Reid... we’ll meet up at the Under-how’s that for a plan?

Alan: No, it doe-

Gino: Fine by me...

Alan: Wait, Gino, you can’t be serious...!

Gino: I... don’t want to be near Dicie...

Dicie: Fine by me.

Alan: You’re kidding me...

Terry: ... I guess I’ll go along with this plan... I’m no good anywhere else, apparently...

Alan: Terry...??

Pyre: Hikari... are you sure? I could-

Hikari: It’s fine, Pyre. Focus on finding Reid.

Pyre: ... A-alright... I... guess...

Alan: I don’t like any of this...

Hikari: Then you come up with a better plan: should we abandon Reid entirely? Or the egg? Tell me, Alan...?

Alan: ... Whatever, just go...!

Hikari: Fine.

Hikari: Oh right, you and Reid weren’t there, technically Alan and Terry are mutants by, I guess blood?

Leo: ...

Reid: ...

Both: Makes sense.

Alan: Oh, come on...!

Hikari: Anyway, a plan, it’s unlikely Vris is any stronger than she was eight years ago, I mean, Shadow Pokemon technically don’t grow stronger like other Pokemon do, hell, even pure mutants like myself or Leo for example can grow in what humans call ‘leveling up’... So, if it came to that, we could take her.

Alan: Yeah, no-

Hikari: And in the end, Alan knows Gravity, we use him-

Alan: NO-

Pyre/Terry: Uh...

Hikari: Yes-

Reid: I’ve fought with Vris in my prime, and even I don’t know how strong she really is. The Vris Hikari fought, the Vris I hung around with, probably held back more than she went “all out”. Also, Pyre and Alan know all too well that a Shadow Pokemon’s power isn’t JUST tied to their ‘level’...

All: ...

Hikari: So, not die.

Alan: Stop it!

Reid: All joking aside, Vou’s egg, and my Shadow Pokemon status would make her either freak out in a bad way, or have a panic attack, both technically bad. If that happens, might be best to just run away... also, pretty sure Shadow Moves don’t really hurt Shadow Pokemon, so maybe I could probably slow her down for you all.

Leo: ... Are you sure?

Reid: I mean... it’s what I’ve been told-

Leo: But, you said Vris killed Zang, wasn’t he a Shadow-

Reid: I know what I’m talking about, Leo-

Alan: Training?

Hikari: Probably a good idea.

Reid: Oh, NOW you’re on the same side??

[askthepokemutants]

Alan: One thing at a time, first, Terry: Yeah, it does. I don’t know what, but there’s way more to this situation.

Hikari: Not surprised... The Terrible Trio probably made a lot of enemies after Goldenrod, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a Legendary they pissed off somehow...

Alan: I’ve never found out if they did, so, I don’t know about that. Next, the Shadow Pokemon thing... I don’t even know what to say about that...

Terry: It’s sad if anything. Carla’s probably one of the only Knights I’d trust, her and Cassidy anyway.

Pyre: Does that mean she’ll end up here again?

Hikari: Maybe permanently: she’s unstable now.

Alan: Hmm... well, the Proxy thing, I’ll explain later, Gino.

Gino: ‘Kay!

Alan: Terry-

Terry: Right, the Bartholomew bit... so? Our dads were tied to Team Machine, so? I could care less about him-especially now knowing he was going to murder the god of death-not to mention this whole mutant thing-

Pyre: Right, Gamma Mutants-can’t believe that’s accurate...

Terry: Yeah... but, I guess-Alan, you alright? Your dad wasn’t that bad to you, right? And this whole half-mutant thing? I mean... I already look weird enough, so I’m fine knowing that, but you...

Alan: I’m... still processing it...

Hikari: We’ll give you time on that-I guess you’re technically one of us, now though? Hmm...

Alan: Are you seriously smiling right now?

Hikari: Maybe... anyway, we need to find Reid, we should probably leave before something else happens-we’ll process all of this as we go, yeah?

Leo: So, you think it’ll be fine?

Reid: Yeah, why not?

Carla: As a Strident Knight it is my duty to protect both humans and Pokemon, but humans can care for themselves better than Pokemon can!

Vris: Oooh, well, look at you-sounding more like a Terrible Trio member than a Knight.

Carla: ...

Vris: Like those humans you claim are so capable, so am I-now move! I have more important problems to deal with than this-

Carla: Then let me help-

Vris: Hell no!!

Carla: I... just want to help you-and others like you-it’s my goal to help Shadow Pokemon-

Vris: Bullshit!

Carla: Please-

Vris: Like you’re helping that Lapras?

Carla: You... you know about-

Vris: Do you think I’m slow?! Of course I know!

Carla: So... when Cassidy had that breakdown...

Vris: How long do you intend to use them?

Carla: What? No-

Dicie: Hmm-

Gino: Let them argue.

Dicie: Why?

Gino: Because Vris isn’t wrong... Team Machine was made up of humans and some-corrupted-Pokemon. They didn’t hesitate, nor discriminate, when they wiped out what was left... Dark saw it himself.

Dicie: ...

Vris: Stop acting like you understand what it means to be a Shadow Pokemon! You don’t know what it’s like!

Carla: I know and understand enough-

Vris: Stop it! Stop acting like you understand-you’re a normal Pokemon, probably grew up with a normal life-stop acting like you understand us!!

Carla: I do understand! And that’s because-

Vris: Because what?! Come on! Tell me your bold-faced lie!!

Carla: Because...

Vris: I’m waiting-

Vris: Wow, you’re a murderer.

Carla: H-huh-

Vris: How does it feel?

Carla: ...

Vris: Really, what kind of parent let’s their child get dragged into that? Even the Trio knew not to mess with Team Machine... your father was an idiot. Fellow Shadow Pokemon or not... he shouldn’t have put some stupid job above his child.

Carla: ... ...

Vris: All I ask is that you leave me alone... Can you do that?

Carla: ...

Vris: ...

Carla: If you continue down this road... the Strident Knights will come after you, and I’ll likely be powerless to stop them... the other leaders... they’re coming here soon for a meeting... and when that meeting happens... if I can’t convince them not to attack you as part of the head’s overall goal to eradicate a new, unknown threat... then... I-

Vris: Let them try...

Carla: Do you really think you can stop them...? Alone?

Vris: Humph...
