(Sometime after this post)

Lush Prairie

Algira flies around, looking for some recognizable mon. With which she means a mon individual she can recognize. Of which there are none. Because multiverse and all.

Algira: <....Hmph!> -- flashes some confusion -- <...What's taking Silent so long? We should go to a city or... something!>

She takes a couple of looks behind her, where Maekrite can be seen talking to a certain Nidoran.

Algira: <Come on, it can not be that hard to find the others, right? I mean, I could just pick a random mon and ask them their name. Like, let's see, that random Lapras...>

Algira flies down and starts circling the Lapras, sending some patterns to indicate that she is only exploring and can not nom something that big as a Lapras. Oh and also that she is friendly - that's very important news.

(After this)

Algira flashes a bit of frustration but i quick to overcome it.

Algira: <Oh I guess we can all be lost together then. So we should be looking for a Treasure Town? Hmmm…> -- thinks for a moment -- <I think I should know that name…> -- points to the others -- <So, I could introduce you to the others? We have food...>

Maekrite -lifts Silentran♂ up and checks his back spikes: <...You are OK. Now what is going on?>

Silentran♂: <...You are licking me all over...> -- starts shaking himself up.

Maekrite leaves the Nidorino on the ground and goes for the bag nearby, brings it closer.

Maekrite: <Come on... Silent?> --shows the bag-- <You know this stuff, right? Look, hang on...> -- digs for a potion or something.

(After this)

Maekrite turns to the newcomer, examines him for a moment. Can't shake the feeling he should perhaps know him from somewhere.

Maekrite: <Hello there, I'm er....> -- thinks for a moment, decides what the hraka -- <Maekrite. And this here is...>

There Maekrite's mind drew a blank as he stared down at the little Nidoran who apparently didn't know he was Silent. The critter had climbed to the bag and was now trying to pry the food bag open, which at least meant his sense of smell was working - unfortunately, his new species's extreme persistence was too.

The Nidoran looked up at the Nidorino with big eyes, having heard something about a name, he tilted his head in expectation.

Maekrite -sighs: <...Loirmethant♦, that's his name. We are foreigners...> -- turns to the Lapras -- <I take it that the Masquerain let you come... are you looking to reach a settlement too?>

Suddenly there's a click sound and the Nidoran, surprised, jumps from the bag and goes to hide behind the Nidorino, from there he growls at the bag. Maekrite turns his head and sees the food box now open.

Maekrite: <...Hey, one thing you can still help with...> -- narrows his eyes at the Nidoran.

Silentran♂ -ears flatten at the serious stare: <...Food in there...>

Maekrite tilts his head, in that moment an alarm triggers in his mind that he is doing something rrrrrrrrong. Not knowing exactly what he is doing, he pats the Nidoran♂ on the head. That seems to calm both of them down.

Maekrite -to Lapras: <...I guess I can invite you something to eat, because after that we have to sleep...>

Lush Prairie

Algira flashes a sort of smile to the Lapras, then notices a Trapinch and goes talk to it.

Algira -dances around: <H-hello there! I'm [Algira]... Uh, what is a Trapinch doing here? Have you seen a [Volcarona] by any chance?>

Meanwhile Maekrite is talking to Lapras and having some food.

Maekrite: <Uh, we come from...> -- looks around for a moment -- <The east, totally the east!> -- points in a random direction that is most likely not the east.

????, ????

In the middle of the peaceful night ... A portal opens in a random place near a lake.

Ichtacya -emerges from the portal: <...Oooooof~>

Sol: <....Eeeeeee~>

The two Pokémon fall ungracefully to the ground and start aching and complaining about how this is not how the trip was supposed to go about.

Sol: <...Ugh. OK, for the record, Silent, we need to ask Tagg for a better transportation...>

Nothing answers. All that can be heard is crickets, non-demonic spiders, a random crow mon flying above and the water from the lake.

Sol: <...S-silent?> -- gets up and looks around.

Ichtacya: <...Where is everymon? Shahinne???>

The two Pokémon clean themselves up and start inspecting their surroundings. Some sounds can be heard coming from the lake, most probably night creatures living their night lives.

Ichtacya sees something in the distance.

Ichtacya: <...Hey, Sol! There's a [house] near the lake! Perhaps we can go take a look!>

Sol tries to psychically examine her surroundings but she finds something interfering with her powers. She shrugs it off for the moment and wanders around.

Sol: <...It's quite far but yeah, I guess we can go check...>

The two Pokémon walk away, leering at their surroundings.

(From here)

Algira -hovers upside down: <...I'm now more confused than before :⌇> -- remembers something -- <Hey, Spectrum, do you happen to know where a place called [Treasure Town] is?>

(After this)

Somewhere on the road - PMD-A

Algira: <...Wigglytuff Guild? ...Exploration team?>

Maekrite listened carefully and tried to not let go much of anything. He remembered he was in a mon-only world now and much of what little he knew of it was what came from Tagg's tale back at the Gold Conference. And his focus was somewhere else now anyway.

He looked down to check that the Nidoran was still walking with him. The Nidoran had picked the Lapras's humming, which at least had improved his mood and made him lose some of his initial distrust towards the rest of the team.

Airspace Somwhere - PMD-A

After circling the airspace for a good while, Roc only had one conclusion to reach.

Roc: <Let's go this way, Shahinne...> -- points in a random direction -- <There's a settlement that way.>

Shahinne -has fun flying around and practising some maneuvers: <...Where are the others?>

Roc: <I don't know yet...> -- eyes his surroundings for a last time -- <I think we'll need help to find them.>

The two birds head south flying at a calm pace.

(After this)

En route to Treasure Town

Maekrite: <Wait did I say Silent? I meant Silence! Silence, little Nido!> -- tries to pick Silent up.

Silentran♂: <...Got it!>

The Nidoran is dragged outside of the bag clung to what is obviously a Pokégear. Despite Maekrite's efforts, the young kit manages to turn the device on and activate the radio. Which obviously produces static.

Maekrite: <....>

Silentran♂: <I'm smart! :3> -- sits besides the Pokégear proudly.

Maekrite sighs, there's not much sense in maintaining the charade anylonger.

Algira -to Spectrum while flying up: <...North? What's in the other directions? Do you know if we are too far?>

Maekrite: <Uh...> -- turns to Lapras -- <Yeah, we come from the human world. And thanks for the information...> -- flattens ears -- <This Nidoran here is Silent but something happened to him.>

Silentran♂ meanwhile starts poking the buttons on the Pokégear, which does not do much more than produce more static.

Algira -flashes some patterns: <Hey, Spectrum, have you ever heard of a "J-Team" before?>

(After the events being commented here)

PMD-A Airspace

Roc sees a group of mons apparently standing on the cloud, frowns and then calls up to his chick, who is making a huge effort to keep climbing the winds after her father. Shahinne flaps frantically to gain more lift until a full minute later she catches up.

Roc: <You are doing fine, Shahinne... Now, let's see what is going on up here. Glide after me.>

Roc notices a Gollurk and a Dragonite and flies ahead wings fully spread and a very serious face as an Intimidating warning against any mon who tries to cause problems to him or Shahinne.

( After this)

A very tired Shahinne falls to the ground and decides to rest there for a moment.

Shahinne: <...zZz~...>

Roc haves his crest at Stratus's random freakout, yawns.

Roc: <Don't worry, Woolly is fine; and Treeo and Comet will surely be OK on their own.>  -- turns to Igneous -- <Yo~ I'm Roc, this is Shahinne... she's still young, see.>

After a brief introduction to Ignous and the rest of the group Roc hops around for a moment and goes settle by Shahinne's side.

Roc: <Uh, we came with Silent, about one day ago. But when the portal opened and we crossed through, pretty much all of us were sent to different places.> -- narrows his eyes at Lake -- <I'm not worried for Maekrite, nor for Silent if they are together, but the annoying cat and dog might be quite hard to find.>

Roc notices something weird and after quick aside glances, stares oddly for a moment to Lake's bag. He says nothing though.

(After this and this)

Up in the Sky~

Roc blinks, seems to think for a moment, looks like he would facepalm if he cared that much.

Roc: <...Team Gelato? Let's see...> --lands a very cold stare at Stratus -- <where would that name have come from?> -- the stare goes away after a moment -- <So, that means we could hire somemon to find Silent and the others... if we make some money first.>

He looks down, decides that Shahinne is still too young to start working for hire.

Treasure Town

Algira -to Spectrum: <You are [right]! And this is so awesome! Though...> -- looks around, only seeing random mons -- <this will make things kinda hard.>

Silentran♂ looks around hesitantly, then Leers at a random Rattata passing thru.

Maekrite -paws Silentran♂: <...We better look for a place to spend the night...> -- to Spectrum -- <Thanks for your help, by the way. Sorry if I had forgotten thanking you up until now...>

(After this post and others)

Shahinne does not look very happy when she sees Gilgamesh. Instead, she keeps staring at him and hops around trying to reach her dad, who has just given an extra Intimidate glare to Lake. Then he looks at the shard from various angles.

Roc: <...So a shard... From its particular size and the roughness of the edges, I'd say the whatever thing that composed the whole held an enormous amount of power and was broken pretty much accidentally, not much later than our groups started arriving around, actually.> -- starts ruffling feathers then goes grab Shahinne -- <Oh and it was a bit dusty yet no particular markings indicating any attempts to clean it... I'd say in a well aired place but not visited by mons very much or at all.>

Shahinne walks up to her dad to ask about the "rock thing" (Gilgamesh) when suddenly notices the carcass. And she goes ._. more.

Shahinne: <...D-d-dad?>

Roc: <Shhhh, shhh... Shahinne look at me.> -- stares down and waves his crest, calling Shahinne's attention -- <What happened, sweatie?>

Shahinne: <...Rock-type thing!> -- points at Gikgamesh.

Roc hugs Shahinne then cleans her up a little and assures her, like six times, that Gilgamesh is friendly. He adds Gilgamesh is with Mata Nui, and asks Shahinne to focus on something else, like the [shard].

Shahinne looks up at the shard with interest. Perhaps too much interest.

Treasure Town

Algira notices Coulomb and goes dance around him.

Algira: <... Whoa that was fast! Coulomb!!!!!!> -- gives him a soft "peck" -- <I'm glad to see you here! Our trip had a couple of accidents...> -- buzzes annoyed.

Sky, PMD-A

Roc nudges Shahinne, tells her to be nice to the friendly mons who have said hi. A reluctant Shahinne gives a sort of warning chirp, then walks up to Gilgamesh. She looks back at her dad then at Gilgamesh again.

Shahinne: <O-oh hai... I'm Shahinne...>

Roc puffs his chest then tuurns to the other mons.

Roc: <Oh so youve been at PEFE... hope you liked the place... you mean that those shards can move mons across universes then? That's a lot of power...if Sol was here she'd say we have to be Genre Savvy about them...> -- turns to Lake, shakes his head -- <Sorry Lake, if I was "good", I'd know how to reassemble that thing. Hopefully the others can figure something out.>

Meanwhile Shahinne starts losing her fear to Gilgamesh. She also fortunately has forgotten about the Pelipper.

Treasure Town

Algira -to Coulomb: <You'd have to ask Maekrite about it, I wouldn't know what to say. It might take a while though... come in! I'll introduce you to Lapras too!>

Algira dances aroudn guiding Coulomb to the rest of the group.
