Elsewhere...

Peroxide: But what if Vris reeeeeally needs help?

???: I doubt that’ll happen.

Peroxide: I think you’re just salty over your leg still, hahahahahahsnrk.

???: Peroxide.

Peroxide: It’s true, though. But fine, Speara, UNLESS she needs help MAYBE I’ll keep my distance.

Speara: *sigh* Fine...

*Speara and Peroxide are available for asks, this might be a good time to get info on Vris she wouldn’t share herself!*

[askthepokemutants]

Faril: [Using Mewtwo’s Proxy and me as some sort of amplifier... ugh... the migraine I’m going to have is going to be horrendous...]

Lugia: [Oh Faril, you can sleep it off, and you never had to deal with this kind of issue before-]

Faril: [REID SLASHED MY DAMN EYE...!]

Reid: [I apologized for that already...!]

Gareth: [Maybe consider treatmen-]

Faril: [Screw off!]

Gareth: [Are all Shadow Pokemon like this...?]

Vris, Reid & Lugia: [Not always.]

Gareth: [Hmm... Anyway, everyone else is being taken care of on the other side of the building. As for the rest of this mess... this conversation was needed.]

Lugia: [Exactly!]

Camomile: It’s a “trick” I picked up from a particular variant of Leafeon on the islands nearby. Kind of works like Heal Pulse-

Cassidy: B-but it hurts... Heal Pulse never hurts like this...

Camomile: Never said I was good at it, “ice-pop”.

Yoshi: ... A-Ah...

Cassidy: Urgh...

Hikari: [... How.]

Lugia: [Well, you already know about Rteddy, and the whole Mew situation...]

Speara: [I believe we all know and understand Rteddy... unfortunately.]

Cecil: [Even I’ve heard of that thing! You can’t really hide the mass disappearances of Pokemon and Humans around the world over the last few years.]

Reid/Vris/Hikari: [WHAT?!]

Faril: [What have I gotten myself into...?]

Lugia: [Before we get off topic, Celebi’s Proxy just moments ago told me something curious-that’s why Cecil’s here~]

Cecil: [Huh....??]

Mewtwo: [Lugia implies that Celebi’s Proxy implies that something particular is about to happen that, until moments ago, something changed that allowed Celebi to perceive a future scenario? How far off am I?]

Lugia: [Close enough. And apparently that means Cecil’s relevant to something...]

Cecil: [Uh... o-okay...???]

Lugia: [Not any time soon apparently, but enough that you maaaaybe should know about the dangers of dealing with Mew-aka the Strident King-if they decide to act out randomly.]

Reid: [Why would this guy be targeted??]

Cecil: [E-exactly...!]

Lugia: [That much, I have nooo idea about, Celebi’s outright vanished, so...]

Mewtwo: [Great. Let’s assume anyone associated with the Terrible Trio are a target...] 

Speara: [So... all of us.]

Mewtwo: [Anyway, Entei mentioned this-]

Entei: [Correct, Mew, that foolhardy child, appears to have obtained the ability to access something rather powerful under the correct circumstances.]

Reid: [The weird, golden wings?]

Vris: [Great... so his ranting meant something?]

Entei: [Yes, simply put, Mew has obtained power that I haven’t seen since I was, well, “born”. It’s supposed to be the power of creation, so, the child could in a sense, will things into being very easily. At the moment, this appears to be utilized to either boost their strength or, which made even me flinch... Attempting to... “Cleanse Shadow Pokemon”]

Vris: [... Excuse me...?]

Raikou: [That... actually scared you, Entei...?]

Reid: [You say “Cleanse” instead of “Purify”... why...?]

Faril: [Probably because Celebi’s known to force some to purify. There’s a reason their Proxy’s nicknamed “The Shadow Killer”...]

Lugia: [Oooh yes... I’m very familiar with that unpleasant sensation...]

Mewtwo: [...]

[askthepokemutants]

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...!

Yoshi: Probably above us?

Arrow: On it!

Sean: Will you focus on watching Royo instead?? I think none of us want Vris pissed again!!

Arrow: Doing both, Sean!

Cassidy: Gugh... T-this just... H-had to happen... n-now...!

Yoshi: Cassidy-

Cassidy: I-I get that King’s... t-trouble somehow, but... t-there’s no way we’re ready to d-deal with him... r-right now...! A-and what was that pressure earlier??

Sean: ... Yeah...

Yoshi: When Team Machine and the Strident Knights fought, King got involved and held nothing back... that weird aura of his, that “pressure”? Goes right along with it...

Sean: So, like with Lugia-

Yoshi: Yeah...

Sean: Yoshi... WE NEEDED VRIS TO JUST CALM LUGIA DOWN!!

Yoshi: I-I know, chill...!! We just need to stall for time... There’s no way Lugia’s ignoring King’s appearance here... we just need to hold out until either he, Reid and Vris catch wind of this-

Cassidy: T-that’s asking a lot...

Yoshi: I know... but our first move should be to break that move he’s using... Tri-Attack is one of his most destructive attacks.

Cassidy: W-w-wHA-

Sean: Excuse me?? HOW???

King: [How can I gather the needed information? Threats aren’t going to work while they’re all together... do I really have to use force like the prior Mew suggested...? No... if I could get to that child... maybe-no... what would that accomplish... their wrath would just grow... Damn it... the only options seems to be fighting, to keep them here... and...]

Peroxide: [Why did I have to be the only flyer;;;]

King: Well, Cassidy, this whole “XD” situation seems to be... interesting. But let me tell you something... worth learning and never forgetting.

<Previous

[askthepokemutants]

King: Care to explain how or...?

Cassidy: ...

Arrow: You... claimed you knew everything-

King: I know of your little group, name, species, though I guess it is true there’s some additional abilities based on what occurred regarding Yoshi-however-

Arrow: Cassidy, if you’re still in control, go for it!! He’s stalling!!

King: Excuse me-

Cassidy: ...!

King: Unfortunately, I refuse to let you pull any more stunts.

King: So, I ask again, where are Reid and Vris?

All: ...

King: OK.

Arrow: ...

Peroxide: DON’T SAY ANYTHING!!!

Mew: Hmm?

Arrow: ... You know, you’re pretty scary, but Vris is faar worse than you...

Mew: Is that so?

Cassidy: ...

Arrow: By the way, do you know anything about XD Shadow Pokemon?

Mew: What?

Arrow: Yep, all yours Cassidy!

Mew: ??

Bartholomew: Wherever he is right now... I worry for whoever got him on edge like that...

------------

King: Yoshi. Cassidy-

Cassidy: B-b-b-but....

King: What are you so nervous about, Cassidy? You could fix everything by merely... subduing these threats... easy enough, right?

Yoshi: Hold on-

King: Vris’ allies, I believe? While your appearances don’t match the reports I obtained years back... I’d assume the ones here are: Peroxide, formerly a Vibrava.

Peroxide: ...Uh...

King: Arrow, a Buizel, though the scar is new.

Arrow: ...

King: Sean, a Scrafty, typically not directly associated with Reid or Vris, but often seen lingering nearby whenever they were in Orre.

Sean: W-what-how?!

King: Missing are Faril, a Ralts with an attitude, Zang, the apparent leader of the group-

Arrow/Sean/Peroxide: ...!

King: And of course, Reid and Vris, though...

Royo: ...!

King: Would this be the child seen with the Trio? Huh-

Yoshi/Sean/Arrow/Peroxide: STAY AWAY FROM HIM!

King: Oh, surprising-

Cassidy: H-He’s been through... e-enough!!

King: Cassi-

Cassidy: B-b-n-no-shut up!! Wh-why are you... h-here!!?

King: ... ... To speak with Reid and Vris. By any means necessary. And it seems you and Yoshi have chosen your sides.

Yoshi: Damn right we have! I’ve put up with it long enough...! You’re the reason my brother’s dead! So many Pokemon died on your watch, just like Nelda-you two are monsters!!

King: ...

Yoshi: Reid and Vris... so long as I’m here, you’ll never... ever get near them...!

King: ... Where was all this anger before? Shouldn’t it be directed at Reid? I mean, it was his creators who killed your brother after all-and Cherry’s situation-

Yoshi: Shut the hell-

King: Why should I? Yoshi, you’re just as guilty as I am, considering your friend.

Yoshi: ...! King!!!

Sean: Dude, don’t fall for something so cheap!

King: Now tell me where-

Cassidy: N-N-NO!!

King: ... I-

Peroxide: Hey, we don’t even know where Vris and Reid are! They left hours ago!

King: ... You expect me-a psychic-to believe that?

Peroxide: I-It’s worth a shot...?

Arrow: Sean, I have an idea.

Sean: Yeah, I can imagine...

King: ...

Yoshi: Whatever it is, leave this asshole to me!!

King: Yoshi... OK... then I guess we’ll go with force.

All: What-

King: I’ll get my answer... one Pokemon at a time...

Yoshi: !! MOVE!!!

[King’s decision...!]

Vris: We should probably stop them before things get worse... this is technically a volcano after all...

Carla: ... Do you think Reid is fighting Lugia?

Vris: If so, Reid’s an idiot... doesn’t matter how strong he might be now, Lugia’s no pushover. He could barely handle a Dragonite, what makes him think he could handle an actual Legend...

Carla: ... Well... wasn’t he made for that-

Vris: If you want to believe that, fine. Don’t fall too far behind...

Peroxide: ... I don’t know if she cares about saving him or not anymore...

Carla: Agreed... wait... did-did we tell her about Reid’s situation?

Peroxide: ...

Carla: ... Vris...! There’s something we have to tell you about Reid...!!

Peroxide: ... Oh god, that’s right...! Wait, Vris!!

Carla: She couldn’t have gotten that far ahead of us-

Peroxide: I know the way too, keep up...!

Carla: ... Ok...!

[Near The Under...]

???: ... Either way, we’re here to get supplies to continue exploring this nearby archipelago...

???: Right! But... wasn’t there supposed to be a lot more islands than the ones there? And isn’t the ocean kinda... dirty...?

?????: Apparently a massive light in the sky caused one of the islands to vanish, or so the locals say... and humans polluted the waters a bit... hopefully Bama can handle all that!

???: Hopefully, but first, this merchant-where did you hear about her again...? Something seems... shady about her...

?????: It’s Orre... everyone’s shady around here, we’ll be fine~

???: So you say...

Carla: It feels like a new Shadow Pokemon is appearing, but, something’s keeping them from fully transitioning...

Peroxide: That’s a good thing, right?

Carla: Yes, but how long can they keep that up?

Peroxide: ... Wait, who’s that...?

Carla: Huh?

[askthepokemutants]

Lugia: [Ruined your plans, Mewtwo... ahah... sorry~]

Carla: ... XD000...?

Vris: ...

Yoshi: A-aah;;;

Cassidy: And King... wanted us to fight her... I can only imagine Reid at his prime now, aaah;;

Faril: Now... we should go.

Sean/Arrow/Peroxide: Yes!

Reid: What? Where?

Faril: Follow the cave river... simple.

Reid: Wait, but what about Lugia?

Faril: What about Lugia?

Reid: ... Fair... but, Vris?

Vris: ...

Faril: Word of advice... if she gives you the death glare run, run fast...

Reid: Um... Faril...

Faril: Yep, I know.

Reid: Faril, wait!!

<Is it actually over??>

@ask-the-shadow-pokemon

[askthepokemutants]

Carla: I believe your name is Arrow, yes?

Arrow: Yes...

Carla: I’m a bit of an oddity... I can kind of soothe Shadow Pokemon with a bit of effort... sometimes... Yoshi and Cassidy can attest to that... it should work here too...

Arrow: Someone like you would’ve been... incredibly useful in the past...

Carla: It’s not... the best thing to use, it um... kind of absorbs a lot of shadow energy into me, and it kind of stays there-probably led to me becoming a Shadow Pokemon in the first place...

Peroxide: Wait, so what’ll happen to you if you do this?

Sean: Ow-exactly-we don’t need another ‘mon in a Mode right now-ow...

Arrow: Have you done this since becoming a Shadow Pokemon?

Carla: ... No.

Yoshi/Cassidy: Carla-

Carla: Relax, it’ll be fine... this is nothing compared to fighting a god’s proxy-

Sean: You fought a god’s Proxy!? Even us basic Proxies don’t go messing with the god’s-ow!

Royo: Let.. go!

Carla: Ok, I will explain later... I promise... but let’s help him first...

Reid: Are you kidding me?! If she could’ve done that-

Faril: How did you not know that??

Vris: I didn’t know that... I’ve run into her a few times, she never mentioned that...

Lugia: Well, she is the daughter of the legendary “Shadow Killer” after all-

Vris: What-

Faril: She’s related to that monster?!

Reid: Well, yeah, she’s not like Crysta though-

Vris: Why do you know her name...?

Reid: ... Um...

Faril: Explain. La-

Lugia: Because the benefactor and the sacrifice for Reid’s Pikachu body were her best pals! Isn’t that right, Cousin~?

Vris: Cousin-

Faril: LATER!

Lugia: Don’t forget about Yule, Faril~! I’m sure Reid can answer that-and maybe even Sister has a confession about him.

Vris: Excuse me?

Reid: Lugia...

Faril: You’re playing dirty, Lugia...

Lugia: I play to my opponent’s weaknesses... we’re all unstable here, and it’s fairly easy to read memories-you brought all the ammo I need-they don’t even notice my digging~

Reid: ... Just ignore him-

Lugia: Like you did, Reid? It was quite poor, actually.

Faril: Lugia-

Lugia: I have my reasons, Faril. This goes a bit beyond me... you’ve read Reid’s memories, you know, besides, as a Proxy of mines... you and Sean are just so poor... severing ties is such a hassle though... just do your job and... help me here? Hmm?

Faril: Hell no... not if it involves whatever this is becoming...

Lugia: Oh, Faril-

Vris: Just. Stop.

Lugia: Hmm?

Vris: Faril, can you do one more teleport?

Faril: ... I can try...?

Vris: Reid... watch closely...

Faril: Take this chance to calm down, Reid... and watch... you’re going to see what makes us so scared of Vris...

Reid: ... Huh...?

@ask-the-shadow-pokemon​​​

[askthepokemutants]

Peroxide: Waait, I’m going t-

Vris: No you’re not! Leave me alone-

Peroxide: You’re going after Lugia, right?

Vris: ...

Peroxide: You’re going to need all the help you can get, both to deal with Lugia and to deal with finding Royo, you know-

Vris: No I don’t!

Gareth: You plan to go in that condition? That’s unwise, isn’t it?

Vris: Shut it...

Peroxide: I... I’m going, even if I’m just following behind you!

Vris: N-

Carla: Same here. Reid’s closer to me and my family than you know, so... I’m going after Lugia too, besides, I know exactly where to find him...

Vris: You don’t sound confident...

Carla: It’s... close enough...

Gareth: Maybe being honest isn’t the best, Carla, I mean, your parents basically made sure you’d eventually become a Shadow Pokemon... wouldn’t that mean they manipulated you from-

Carla: My problems aren’t important here-

Vris: Sounds like they are, besides, you’re leaving the blind kid??

Leo: I can handle myself...

Peroxide: ...

Carla: ...

Gareth: Why are you looking at me...?

Gareth: You’re a rookie psychic, don’t try reading my ‘emotions’.

Leo: I’ll take that as a yes... I guess it’s safe to say the ‘tormented’ flock together well, don’t they?

Gareth: ... You’re far too smart for your own good...

Leo: Sometimes, I think the same thing. But, it helped me live in a frozen hell for most of my life...

Gareth: Kryona, correct? Carla told me and the other lead Knights that story from Reid’s perspective... I guess it’s good to know, we’re all on your side now.

Leo: Considering the uncertain situations we’re facing, is that a good thing?

Gareth: ... You’d make a great Proxy for Mewtwo if they ever look for a second one.

Leo: I’ll take that as a compliment...?

Gareth: Sure.

Alan: Okay, let’s just think along the lines of maybe Reid wandered off-since that was a problem and concern before.

Pyre: But, that lab’s in ruins...

Hikari: And that still doesn’t rule out Peroxide’s hunch... maybe we should go there and investigate the spot Pyre found? Even if there’s nothing there, we could at least get an idea of what happened, right?

Peroxide: Possibly, yeah!

Alan: Great then let’s go, while everyone else is still asleep.

Vris: There’s someone else in the area... it’s... worth a shot... before they get back...
