Whenever Steven eventually returned to his room, he would find a note of his own waiting for him on the nightstand, evidently hand delivered. The note was written in swift but neat handwriting. Something about the phrasing almost suggested more than just battle strategies? Either way it was...

More violence, more chaos. Was this Festival cursed somehow? Amaras thoughts were racing. On top of dealing with missing trainers there was... Whatever else was going on. Beneath her professional and reserved demeanor there was a well guarded sense of frazzledness from everything happening...

Everything has happened so swiftly, and yet seemingly no time at all Nurse Joy arrived, along with both Officers Jenny and Victor. Between the three of them and the assembled pokemon, injured trainers were tended to at the cove, and then brought to the infirmary. Wes in particular was tended...

... But there's little to see that is out of the ordinary.... Manaphy returned from doing what it could to help those injured. They didn't understand how or why people used this chance to hurt each other... "Of course.." they said, their voice pained. And in a moment everyone who hadn't...

"Usually distance or if I'm am attempting to call a heart that's just... Too great a distance away. Ah! For example, I can't use my power when I'm in my own realm, I have to enter this one. Manaphy chuckled, though there was a note of regret to their tone. "I am not all powerful. If an expert...

"Certainly, allow me to provide clarity," Manaphy said cheerfully to Lucy. They turned their attention away from the frenetic happenings on the beach, although they appeared to be keeping an eye on it all nonetheless. "The first question is quite simple. As a watcher of the sea, I can detect...

Manaphy liked this little one's enthusiasm. "An excellent attitude." "Very well, brave one. Let us begin." They eyed the strange being called Odile briefly, and Enora. "Fear not. If I am unable to connect their hearts, no harm will come to Odette." With that Manaphy closed their eyes. The...

"I am sorry, child. I cannot bring you home, I cannot traverse the boundary between worlds. But when you leave this world, you could accompany Wallace, if you desired." They certainly sensed some kind of desire, whether it be curiosity or something else that had drawn them here. Some of the...

Manaphy chuckled lightly. "I think that is a question you must ask Gen. It is not impossible to return to a new home, but that is not my place. Ultimately, it is his choice." Manaphy's eyes gleamed with amusement. "Certainly!" they chirped. They floated over towards Hazel and wrapped an...

"Peace, child of the water," Manaphy replied calmly. They were used to awe and reverance, but this poor human almost appeared ready to pass out. They turned back to Gladion. "Yes... I have sensed that there is great unease. Unfortunately I am not certain I can offer assistance. My power and...

Amidst all the chatter and introductions, a small blueish shape could be seen in the ocean. At first, it almost seemed like a trick of the light. A small patch of lighter blue admist the rolling blues and greens of the ocean. But close observation would reveal it was actually moving, zigzagging...

After much poking and prodding, and initially finding nothing, something turns up. Faint scuffs of footprints, possibly made by fancy shoes. And then, a little further ahead in a narrow tunnel, a scrap of a suitjacket that seems to have been torn off after getting caught on a rough bit of rock...

With enough skimming of the history books, one thing will begin to become clear. This world's timeline seems to be ahead of what many trainers are used to. Team Rocket is little more than a chapter in the past. The other evil teams were disbanded or dissolved, primarily by the work of the...

"That'd be great," Toby said. He took out his phone and quickly swapped numbers before handing it back. "Contests are an excellent way to draw on the power of the bond between trainer and pokemon. Did you know that wild pokemon find it much harder to harness their aura in the way contest...

The caverns are full of intriguing scents. Traces of Steven and Aggron, Hayes and his Nosepass, and layered over that, the scent of Xavian. Fresh, definitely from early this morning and afternoon. Clearly he was here for some time, presumably searching for the missing trainers. Further...

"Perhaps whoever is doing this is only just getting started," she said quietly, as if just considering the thought. There was genuine fear in her words. "If this is about competition for some reason, perhaps stronger trainers are next? But even then, surely whoever did this would realize that...

Everything in the training grounds appeared to be in place. Which was to say it was chaotic. Marks on the walls from attacks, disturbed earth and battered training dummies. But there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary to see.

"What makes you so sure you can trust your Ninetales?" Jenny replied. There was no malice or scorn in her tone, just a simple statement. "I've worked with Victor for years and trust him the same way I'm sure you would trust any of your partners. And his Arcanine doesn't know Teleport," she...

"I'm honestly not sure," mused Hydreigon finally. If there was anoher dragon, I certainly couldn't pick up any signs of it." She shook her heads sadly. "Apologies I could not be of more assistance." At Victoria's next words, she perked up. "Oh yes! The synchronization, the bond between human...

Slowly, all the trainers were gathered together once more in the main hall. Gone was the cheery, chaotic energy of the banquet. Most trainers appeared scared, somber or angry. Hushed whispers rippled through the grounds, and some of the trainers made a point of avoiding everyone else, as if they...
