Shield growled at Brisa, looking back at the forest. "I'm more together than I've been for a while, Luxray. I know what I have to do now, and I know where to go. Sword's right there." His paw clenched. "Once the team is ready to go, I'll be right with you."

"The little shithead is around here somewhere," Soda muttered, scanning the shoreline. "Illusions made some of those Shadows go everywhere. Didn't wanna deal with that, so Escape Orb." Soda brushed off some invisible grime off his fur and then headed for the portal. "I'm going. Job's done. Grab...

"Is destroying the Worldcore gonna free her?" Soda asked, looking skeptical. "It won't free her," Shield said. "It will kill her... and possibly stabilize the world. Arceus might be able to restore things afterward, since his power is there. But... Sword..." He furrowed his brow. "I was talking...

All the chaos and Shield was still able to keep it together, if only because Brisa had snapped him out of his initial stupor. He looked at Sword, or the Swords, and shook his head defiantly. "So, you're in the Worldcore? Fine--then I'll save you! You hear me, Sword?! I'm... not going to stand by...

Soda dodged out of most of them with ease, only getting nicked by a few. The illusions were quick to focus on Saltriv. "Goddammit," Soda shouted. "Idiot's a liability! Who brought the Bayleef here?!" He fished around for an Escape Orb, taking aim, before smashing it just in front of Saltriv--a...

There was no source, only a lingering presence, possibly from spending an extended amount of time with a source nearby--no doubt because of the Blacklight. "Guys, keep it together! They aren't real! It's not--SHIT!" Soda dove out of the way when a Judgement attack had fallen from the air...

Cola had appeared and tried to tilt Arceus aside, but it didn't work. Instead, Arceus and Empoleon both scowled at Cola, who was now batting his eyes at Empoleon just as Nate had envisioned, but to much less effect. Despite the failure, however, Soda had still snapped out of it and glared at...

"Happy memories about Sword... right... right..." Shield wondered if that would be enough. He had been thinking so much about trying to save her and how she had currently been acting. Maybe thinking about the past... could that awaken anything? "Sword," he said softly. "Do you remember the...

"You're damn right it's not real," Soda said with a growl, looking between the team. "Ngh. We'd have strength in numbers against whatever threat there might be, but you guys are letting your inner demons run amok! Collect yourselves or we're turning around!" "It's not like they can help it,"...

At around the same time, Nate and Dave both detected something coming from further east, and then a little north. Tracks of battle from a Mewtwo... or perhaps two of them. The faintest remnant of Blacklight energy. Yes. They were here. And they were here for a while, further in. Something...

"You don't even deserve to be in my head after what you did," Soda said with a low snarl. The foreign deity stared him down further. There was no telling if it was saying something for only Soda to hear, or if Soda was using his very illusions to shut it up, or if it really was saying nothing...

"Don't lose it," Soda said to Shiron. "They aren't real. This is all in your head. Your parents, your whatever, they're all far and away from Cibus, got it? The Dungeon is just feeding off of your thoughts." "Like that?" Shield asked, gesturing forward with a more braced stance. "Can it also...

The Blacklight trail had faded almost entirely. There wasn't much hope in getting anything back there until, perhaps, they went further inside. Shield led the way and Soda followed behind, not quite hiding his snarl at the forest just ahead of them. When they passed through, the ominous feeling...

"I dunno why I got signed up to come to this damn place again," Soda muttered. "What was it? Experience? That I'd been through it the first time? This is bullshit." "Could have been worse," Shield said, arms crossed. "I don't want to know what the Worldcore would have in store for us. That's...

The crazed look in Soda's eyes had melted into confusion and befuddlement. The Piplup had gone quiet, staring, leering at Nate, whispering things that perhaps only Soda could hear. But Nate's voice was the loudest among them. Giovanni jumped away, deflecting the blow, but then stared at his...

Soda looked at it, then at Giovanni, then back at the detector. "It's... picking something up." Giovanni's eyes widened a little, like he was taunting them. "I'm not real?" he asked, that voice far too real for Starr's liking. It didn't sound like a Mewtwo, not even slightly. That was the...

Soda spun around again, the wood twisting and turning. There was no sense of direction anymore; the very ground felt like it would give away if it felt like it. This was more twisted than the reverse realm; the sky itself was gaining little streams of bright colors that swirled around like mixed...

"I make illusions, I dunno about detecting them. I guess takes one to know one, but this doesn't feel like an illusion. This feels more like some kind of... Dungeon distortion. And a bad one." He narrowed his eyes. "Stuff like this you don't expect unless it's from a massive epicenter of...

"Gtfo," Maple repeated. "It means--" "I think it translated properly," Maple said, nodding. "...Regardless, that's just it. I believe the plan is to get at least some powers so the device can register it." "Chip also asked to log down the exact time it happens. So, do that, if you can," Soda...

"Of course." Maple pulled out her badge and started typing into it, glancing at the others. "Do you think Soda will be enough for escape? I suppose as a scout, he would be best... Perhaps I can also bring Truffle." It took some time, but eventually Maple was able to summon Soda and Truffle to...
