Celeste’s heart rate picked up. Without a disaster sense, how was he ever supposed to feel safe? What if something was going to happen to him? He could never rest easy knowing something could be about to happen, and he was just oblivious. How was he supposed to let his guard down knowing it wasn’t there to alert him?

“Please... tell me you’re just being hypothetical, right? Someone, punch me. I want to test it.”

"What are we supposed to do now? Are we going straight to this... Sushi, or do we have to take care of Owen's memory loss first?" Cynthian asked with folded flowers.

I really don't think we have to worry about this Decidu-guy, Diyem. Litwick thought-spoke. I'm sure he'd be fun to go to the movies with. Oh, and before I forget, why did you let Owen go by himself? He's not even a Charizard! Like you!

Starr's eyes lit up. "God you have no idea how badly I've wanted to punch something ever since we got here." She glanced down at her paws and sighed. "I don't think it'd be the same in this body though."

Zane put his claws up in surrender. Shy little guy. “Hey, it’s all right,” he said as soothingly as he could. “We’re here to help. If you need anything, just ask.”

Concern dulled his attempted comforting smile. You sure this is the right charmander? Zane thought at the voice. Owen seemed a bit more spry than this.

Now with his arm practically buried in the tree, Necrozma eyed Truffle more intently. If Stoogeyem didn't like Truffle, then perhaps the decidueye would be a good person to keep tabs on. Later, of course. When there wasn't a large group bickering with one another.

“Please... tell me you’re just being hypothetical, right? Someone, punch me. I want to test it.”

"Okay!" Curio aimed her fist at the Absol, planning to pull back at the last second before her paw met his snoot.

So the Magikarp had some sort of power-sapping effect? That might explain Jaro's present inability to use moves...

"Like, how far away does the power-weakening effect extend? Are we within its range even over here?" Jaro asked Truffle. Then, hearing Diyem's voice in his head - that was still really weird - he quietly turned away for a moment. "Uh, Diyem? I don't know if you can hear me, but if you can, exactly how long will it take for you to finish 'channeling strength into us?'" Jaro muttered. "Are we talking minutes, hours, days, moons?"

"Why, I'm quite sure violence is unnecessary. Surely there's another cure to be found for your malady here, no? For instance..." Lauchs suddenly lashed out with his leek, though he was careful to strike lightly enough that it wouldn't hurt more than a half-hearted punch. "Oho! Surprise attack!"

As the fist approached his face, he but felt nothing from his horn. He began to panic, but when Curio stopped without hitting him, he realized the fake blow wouldn’t have triggered the sense anyways. His hope began to recover.

The blow from the leek landed on him without him noticing, shattering his hopes that his disaster sense was still there. He yelped in sheer surprise and jumped back.

He wanted to curl up in a ball and whimper like pup, but it wouldn’t be a good thing to do in front of these strangers. How was he supposed to feel safe without a disaster sense? Everyone else seemed to manage it somehow, but he just... couldn’t wrap his head around it.

“I... I’m not okay. This is not okay.”

"So... you're the leader of a team then that's trying to stop that Magikarp as well?"

"No, I am not the leader. Our leader is on another continent right now, busy taking care of and quelling a related crisis. It seems that those ones can be damaged by us--but this one cannot, which is... worrying."

"Like, how far away does the power-weakening effect extend? Are we within its range even over here?"

"It seems to only be localized," Truffle said. "Unfortunately, it's still enough that it nullifies anything that matters..."

"Uh, Diyem? I don't know if you can hear me, but if you can, exactly how long will it take for you to finish 'channeling strength into us?'" Jaro muttered. "Are we talking minutes, hours, days, moons?"

I do not know. I have never done something quite like this before. But your bodies are... different. Perhaps in exchange for having great power, you run out of it very quickly... Perhaps you simply don't have the energy for certain techniques yet. I will try to focus on giving you that energy...

Suddenly, to their right, the building in the shape of a Chansey suddenly trembled and rose into the air--the reason, there was a Blissey underneath it, holding it up with her tiny arms and her head. There was a determined look in her eye and her presence radiated with unseen power.

She jogged, with the entire building above her, down the road and past the team, and toward the crossroads to the east of town.

"Ah! Of course." Truffle nodded. "We are also evacuating the town due to the imminent disaster, should Magikarp get too close."

Zane looked on the incoming punch with wistful envy. How desperate he was to compile all his rage into a pressure packed package and send it into another living being. Yet, as fate would have it, he had missed his chance at the only joy life had to offer him.

Lauchs quacked with surprise as his blow landed. Whatever jubilation he might have received from the healthy smacking was shattered to pieces when he saw the crestfallen look on the absol's face. Were he in his ordinary, fully-grown body, he might have deigned to give the poor fellow a conciliatory pat.

"Worry not, my friend," he said. "It's not so bad. You're just like the rest of us now, eh? And we all get on well enough. You've got a team to support you, don't forget that!" He gave an emphatic thumbs-up, hoping his gratuitous strike wouldn't be the straw to break the camerupt's back, as it were.

Brisa fumbled with her tongue for a second before replying, "yeah, sure. Please. Uh, that would be my pleasure."

"Right on," Curio said with a wink, ignoring the Absol incident, as well as the Chansey that just lifted an entire building like they were a Machamp. Oh well. Juuuuuust another Tuesday for her.

Starr winced. Even though she'd only just seconds ago been wishing for the chance to take the Absol up on that punching offer, she still couldn't help feeling kinda bad for him. Especially with how pathetic he looked now... It was like that punch had shattered his entire world.

"Hey, uh... you gonna be okay?"

"DID A BLISSEY JUST LIFT THAT ENTIRE BUILDING LIKE IT WAS NOTHING?!" Cynthian screamed, mouth agape.
"I feel like that shouldn't be the most surprising thing today. I'm still not over jagged McGrimdark over there turning that tree into a pin cushion. What is he? And why does it feel like he sucks the fun out of things literally rather than just figuratively?" Litwick pondered these questions aloud, wishing she had her notebook to scribble these notes into.

"I see... and do you guys know where that Magikarp-"

Cabot stopped talking as he noticed the Blissey in the background carrying an entire building with her, looking dumbstruck as she walked out of town.

"Ah, don't worry. That's just Sunny," explained Truffle to Cynthian. "She handles the local daycare. Apparently making the building portable is part of her plans to keep the kids safe... Interesting. Though, where she draws that strength from is beyond me..." Truffle brought a wing under his beak, contemplative. "The power is almost otherworldly. Ah, well! I suppose speaking of evacuations, we should probably finish that soon... But you. You will be fighting the Magikarp soon, won't you?"
