Mewtwo: [Care to explain what I might experience?]
Reid: [Well... his attacks hit extremely hard... not sure how else to describe it...]
Vris: [He also healed completely from Reid’s unique variations of Shadow Moves...]
Speara: [That’s... new...]
Entei: [And with the ability to “Clease” Shadow Pokemon with the same aggressive force as Celebi, could be pretty deadly if used with far too much force... in theory at least, hrm...]
Hikari: [This “Strident King” sounds more like the big villain of some Human’s fanatical stories, the ones they make into books... feels like Dark was underselling them somehow...]
Cecil: [Right? I’m glad I’m not alone here...]
Entei: [And if this is the kind of force we’re dealing with and they’re on some bizarre warpath... it’s best to answer this “question” being asked of you two.]
Vris: [I still have no idea what that’s all about...]
Reid: [Yeah... my memories of the past aren’t really... focused at the moment...]
Entei: [Then allow me to focus them, since we’d like to avoid a Mew with the power of creation going wild: It, presumably, has something to do with one of your many fights with Team Machine...]
Reid: [Do YOU know what he wants?]
Entei: [Unfortunately, this is a... guess... If Celebi were here, I’d imagine they’d tell you to figure it out on your own... so I will do the same.]
Vris: [... Uh-huh...]
Entei: [I will say no more... unless you wish to challenge me-]
Lugia: [Stop that you old fool!]
Entei: [Humph.]
Gareth: [... Despite everything I’ve heard about Rteddy... for some reason I’d rather deal with that over King right now...]
Mewtwo: [Thanks for your encouragement.]
Raikou: [Sorry to interrupt this train of thought, but, what happened to Koko?]
Reid: [And what or who is that..?]
Vris: [That weird-looking thing that tried to fight with Rteddy?]
Raikou: [It’s wise to say that in terms of raw power, the Tapu have us beat to some degree.]
Reid: [Rteddy was able to push them back...]
Entei: [There are four Tapu, and their power comes from their homeland, when at full strength, from my understanding, they can become massive, humanoid, beings the size of titans.]
Vris: [And why didn’t they do that...?]
Mewtwo: [I assume we’d like the lingering bit of green in Orre to survive the wrath of a regional “deity”...]
Faril: [So... these Tapu things could lay waste to everything?]
Lugia: [Apparently?]
Mewtwo: [Make them angry enough, sure. An entire town in Alola was left in ruins because their faith faltered in one of the Tapu... or so I was told. They also fight with beings from another dimension entirely that... probably would make Rteddy look... tame... or so I’m told...]
Vris: [Then... let’s leave them to deal with Rteddy...]
Reid: [A-agreed...]
Mewtwo: [Hmm... anyway, I don’t think I can ignore the Mew in the sky here any longer... plus I doubt your ‘kid’ is able to understand why every single adult just stopped talking all of a sudden. Good luck.]
Lugia: [I’ll be in touch~]
Faril: [Like hell you wil-] Damn it!
Vris: ... Ugh.
Royo: ???
Reid: Okay-
Hikari: I have an egg to worry about... not even going to try and process this in detail right now.
Speara: Would anything we learned even be of use? No one’s willing to directly deal with Rteddy, the Strident King seems to have grown stronger and I feel like we’re still missing something.
Faril: Hmm... [Care to fill them in on the “end of the world” bit?]
Reid: Riight... [No.]
Cecil: Sounds like the Strident King is just... bad? Hah... I’ll focus on treasure hunting and rescuing eggs...? Yeah... I don’t think Ian and Qui’ll even believe this...! Plus... yeah, not touching the weird magic doll monster... no way.
Vris: That “hint” Entei gave is.. useless... if we can’t figure it out and he shows up again... then what?? If we shouldn’t fight him-then what???
Raikou: Talk? There’s something important that Mew wants from you, you know this.
Hikari: Since when has talking ever worked for any of us?
Speara: ... Hmm...
Vris: Feh...
Faril: Suddenly my face hurts...
Reid: H-Hahah...
Cecil: Hmmhmmm~
Raikou: No comment?
Cecil: No, just happy to be here. Besides, these problems seem... insurmountable right now, but I’m sure there’s a solution to everything, hmm~?
Hikari: ... If there is, I’m too tired to figure it out.
Vris: I can agree there...
Reid: ... Yeah...
Raikou: You should check on your injuries anyway, and take the chance to understand the “Mew’s question” situation... do either of you know where to start?
Reid & Vris: No...
Hikari: Damn it all...
Speara: Ah...
Cecil: They’ve had a lot of run-ins with Team Machine... just from the stories I’ve heard... h-hahah...
Speara: Remembering which specific event King’s possibly asking about isn’t going to be... easy...
Vris: Oh no... really? Thanks queen obvious...
Speara: Humph...
Vris: Humph....
Reid: Let’s... not fight here... please?
Faril: That’s rich, coming from you, Reid...
Reid: If this is about your eye again, I said I’m sorry-
Faril: Sorry doesn’t grow a new eye!!
Cecil: ... D-do I want to-
Hikari: Reid and Vris have a history of maiming people...
Cecil: Aaah... fair enough~
Hikari: You think that’s “cool”... don’t you...?
Cecil: ... ... ... No-
Hikari: Uuugh...
Raikou: I believe I will take my leave... being here is making me very uncomfortable... a past life isn’t too... pleased to be here...
Hikari: They’re all distracted... so, take care wherever you’re going... safe to assume you Legends won’t interfere much more, right?
Raikou: Considering we’ve likely turned humanity against most of us... we may become closer than you think... however... I’m not too eager to deal with this... “Rteddy” creature...
Rteddy: It seems we’ve underestimated the Legends as well...
Zenix: There’s a strange, yet powerful, darkness overwhelming the region as we speak, I do not think I can follow after them anymore...
Rteddy: They’ve hidden themselves behind the weight of a legend... many legends... including the Tapu... and likely Celebi as well... fair enough. I was here to regroup with you and the others anyway.
Zenix: Regroup?
Rteddy: Some of our team have made rash decisions... even I have... let’s go...
???: I believe that should work out, I do feel that old Raichu is also a concerning factor...
Zenix: If it’s the additional mutant group you’re searching for, I do have an idea of where they are. Not to mention a fair number of us have been there, if I am needed here.
Osric: Hmm...
Zenix: ... It may be off topic, but I do feel we’ve... met before... yes?
Osric: ... Possibly. Why?
Zenix: Just... a strange nagging memory...
???: We’ll go with this strategy. But we need to make sure we do this correctly, stir things up enough.
Ripped Rteddy: Considering they have their immediate area.
???: Then, you, my facially damaged self, Zenix and Osric will escort our guests to that location, it fulfills my end of our deal and allows us to get closer...
Osric: Understood, Master.
Zenix: Acknowledged.
???: We’ll make our moves in time, it’s likely best to hold off acting immediately while their guards are still up.
Zenix: I highly doubt their attention will be solely focused on us. It’s unlikely Vris and Reid’s stunt against that Mew being was ignored by the neighboring population.
???: Then we’ll act in the morning, while everyone’s likely trying to understand and analyze the damage to their land, yes!
King: It’s insignificant damage in the short-term, but will build up over time... do they intend to force me to retreat?
...
I can’t tell where they are thanks to this bizarre wind, and now this “rain” is clouding my senses even more... I’ll need to be cautious... if someone as weak as Yoshi could deal with them evenly years ago... what am I nervous about?
Vris: Reid... what is this? This isn’t Shadow Sky...
Carla: It’s definitely not Shadow Sky...
Reid: Something Dire did a long time ago... also kind of reminds me of when Lugia initiated their fight with me... I’m just... “mimicking” it... shrouds the area in shadow auras... so his ability to track us or our attacks is likely nullified a bit now... anyway, before he comes back, Faril, Yoshi? Can I ask you guys to-
Faril: I’m not fighting THAT...!
Reid: Wasn’t asking that, could you make sure everyone’s okay? And hide them in the mountain cave, please?
Faril: ... Why...? [He’s way too calm right now...]
Reid: Because, Vris... want to make this “Shadow Storm” into a “Shadow Typhoon”...?
Faril: ...
Carla: ...
Yoshi: ... Um-
Vris: ... Hell yes...
Yoshi: ... I-I’ll get Sean... or try to...
Faril: ... Right... behind you, Yoshi...
Carla: ...
Reid: Right, Carla... want to help out? We could use the help so long as you’re not going to-
Carla: Of course. So long as we don’t kill him, you both know what’ll happen if he dies right...?
Yoshi: He claims to know everything about you all, not just Reid or Vris...
Faril & Carla: ... What?
King: We are NOT going down this nonsense route again! You’re not “chatting” your way out of this, Yoshi!!
Yoshi: ... He knows about Royo too-
King: Yosh-
Vris: WHAT?!
King: Damn it Yoshi!!
Carla: You’re kidding me... you went through my notes on my discussions with Cassidy... didn’t you?
King: You hid important information, thus I felt it was imperative to learn it, granted, I did that years ago, so it’s fairly pointless to get upset about the past-
Carla: You invaded Cassidy’s privacy! Those discussions were akin to a therapist session you... you...!
King: What? Go on.
Carla: ... Daagh...!!
King: Humph...
Vris: I don’t care who he is or what he did... I’ll GUT HIM if he hurt Royo!!
King: I did nothing to that child!! But I would be a fool to just ignore his existence!!
Vris: Grrr....!!
King: If ANY of you want to walk away from this you’ll answer my questi...ons... what...?
