"...Right. Thanks, I guess." Dave'd been by the infirmary to check on her back in Treasure Town after hearing she'd exploded (he'd ranted about Radiance to the nurses), but he hadn't stuck around. He wasn't sure if she even knew. He pushed himself to his feet and out of the bed. "Did I miss...

"...Yeah, I think I'll manage." It was kind of bizarre looking at her, honestly; even without being next to him, she was obviously like twice his size, all in one burst. With a sting in his gut he thought of Jean, how he'd just opened the door to her suddenly taller, misproportioned. But Brisa...

Dave returned to consciousness slowly, from a vague confused haze of nonsense that eventually schlorped away like water down a drain. He blinked open crusty eyelids with more effort than it should have taken. He was in a room. In a... hospital? It smelled kind of like a hospital. He shifted...

Wrote for half an hour.

Shadow Dave.

Dave crawled to his feet with a heave of effort. His entire body hurt. The Shadow hovered over him, shuddering, eyes closed. "...It was my fault they even went to the church. I told them where--" Dave froze. "What the fuck are you talking about?!" he snarled. "Who the fuck do you think you...

The tendrils of shadow twirling around Dave's body grew and twisted as he abandoned his attempt to protect Brisa. The coldness in his chest rose, and he had only the wherewithal to realize in a panicked moment that something was very wrong before it drowned him. Nobody was paying all that much...

Dave's attempt to shield Brisa shattered easily against Starr's body. The Mewtwo picked the Shinx up by the neck instead. No, no, he could-- --he could barely stay upright with exhaustion. The faint sparks of Radiance on his fur crackled vaguely as he gritted his teeth and then fizzled out...

The cold sensation in Dave's chest was heavy and unpleasant. The dragon was down but he couldn't seem to feel particularly like they'd won. His legs shook. Maple was fighting Joule. Good riddance. Would be nice if they both just killed each other. It didn't look like that was happening...

Assurance x2.

For turn six, Dave will use Shadow Charge, then Assurance x2 on the Blacklight Dragon.

"Eh, they'll get over it," Dave said, shrugging. Probably. For the purposes of now. "Thanks for the chat. You're a good kid." She was offering him a paw. Did Pokémon do handshakes? How did this even work, when no magic utensils were involved? He hesitantly extended his own. One way or another...

Dave nodded warily. This was the second person in a couple of days that he'd apparently convinced to get pet rocks by telling them they didn't have to have pet rocks. The power of reverse psychology? "Okay. The God Squad seem to have a stockpile. Should be able to stop by there later. You'll...

"Well, if I ever meet him I'm giving him a fucking earful." Dave took a sip of his beer, thinking. If Brisa's reservations about psychic powers were based in this shit, no wonder she wasn't thrilled about the notion of psychic rocks. "You sure you want a shade? Like I said, they're not doing...

By default for this turn, Dave will use Howl on Curio, Brisa and Starr, then Howl on Curio, Brisa and Celeste, then Double Dip an Oran Berry and an Elixir. If the strategists conclude something else would be a better idea while I'm asleep, they may override this.

That moment when you’ve been assuming for half a conversation that this girl’s dad threatened to kill her and erased her memories of her gay relationship because it was gay, only for it to turn out actually her world doesn’t even have homophobia, vs. that moment when the guy you’re talking to...

Dave slumped onto the table. Christ. Okay. Sure, magical Wild West Pokémon land was a happy place with no homophobia. Why the fuck wouldn't it be. "Yeah. Unfortunately. Good call, honestly. I wouldn't want to visit either." Dave nodded reluctantly along with her. Okay. That made some kind of...

Dave jumped at the crash of glass against the wall. "Hey, whoa, let's maybe not get kicked out of the bar?" He looked evasively around; everyone was staring at them. Goddamn it. He sank back into his chair and took a deep breath. Brisa seemed... pretty convinced it was an accident her dad had...

For turn 4, Dave will Double Dip an Elixir and a Cautious Seed, then Shadow Charge and Assurance on Giratina. He will then Run Away to the back row again.

Dave's heart hammered. The terrain was collapsing. Dialga was manipulating time, Palkia somehow bending space, putting them further away. This brief window, now, was maybe the only time they had to act, to try to turn the tide. But even then, how the fuck were they going to beat multiple...
