Action

[Whitney woke up slowly. Did she oversleep? Maybe she spent too much time training for the upcoming PokeAthlon that she signed up for yesterday? That always made her extra tired. Except...This wasn't her bed...She shot up and looked around, knocking the box into her lap. She wasn't at home at all! Or inside...She looked down at the box in her lap. What was that? A present? Opening it, she skimmed the contents, not really paying attention to the brochure. She immediately put on the pendant, and looked at the key and cash. She put everything back in the box, but the communication device, and put the box in her pocket. It looked like a weird pokegear to be honest. She got out of her pod, and checked that she had her pokemon with her. She sighed in relief when she felt her pokeballs. She listened to the hologram sort of. She probably couldn't tell you what was said if she asked. Her mind was racing though. Where was she? How did she get here? What would happen to her gym? She tuned back in to hear the end of what was said.]

Wait! Don't go! I didn't catch what you said!

[She could feel herself tear up. She let herself just start bawling loudly at the edge of the bay for awhile.]

Video

[A pink haired girl with puffy eyes showed up on the screen.]

Sniff...I-I uhm don't know what to do...I think I'm l-lost? But can I be lost if I uhm don't know where I'm supposed to be? [She wiped at her eyes.] Can someone help me please?

Hello, everyone! I hope you have a marvelous month catching and befriending as many Pokemon you can encounter. In case anyone doesn't know me yet, my name is Augustine Sycamore and I'm the Pokemon Professor of the Kalos region. Along with most of the knowledge on these creatures, my research focuses on Mega Evolution, a phenomenon that allows some Pokemon to evolve one step further beyond their limits.

[Just then, his Garchomp, Greninja, and his latest additions, Delphox, and Lucario entered the scene as most of them cried happily while the latter two waved at the camera.]

As for these creatures, Pokemon are powerful and supernatural creatures that originally came from my world. There are different kinds of Pokemon and while some keep them as pets, most of us including Pokemon trainers used them for a Pokemon battle for entertainment and to help them bond with their Pokemon even more.

Now I can tell that not everyone here is new to these creatures or just want to know how you can take care of a certain Pokemon species.

That's why I'm here today. Though while I can't answer some of the questions regarding some Pokemon from the Alola region, I can help you out on the basics of Pokemon training and caretaking. Just contact me through this video and I'll do everything to answer them as much as I can.

Now, I hope you can continue working hard on your Pokemon training! Au Revoir!

[The video kicks on to an open field. Probably a ranch. Who knows and who cares? Certainly not this Pokemon Professor.]

Alola, everybody! Professor Kukui here with a fantastic idea, yeah!

With the appearance of Pokemon, and with everyone learning why they are our best buds, I would like to issue a challenge.

Come see me at anytime you would like, and I will put your moves to the test! That's right, I want to see how you work together with your Pokemon in a friendly battle!

I'm open now for any questions, comments or concerns. Later!

[With a outward wave of his hands with traditional Alolan fashion, he ends the video to get busy.]

[When the charm quest for Attleton was announced, Memo was left puzzled. Her poor memory combined with a demon's morality leads her to believe the texted order. She is to commit crimes for the next week. This will lead to her wish being granted.

And so, Memo sets to work.]

[OTA | Video | Attleton Action]

[The shot opens to a view beyond Memo's shoulder. She has already begun setting her monsters loose, and they are visible in the background: Large, shadowy beings that look almost human, except that their limbs are too long and their eyes are sunken orbs of white. They are selecting civilians from a crowd, inspecting them, then throwing them back violently. It's clear that they are searching for something.]

No pendent bearers yet... How dull. The people here are not very interesting.

[Though accidentally, the video shows Memo's face. She probably doesn't realize that she has sent a video at all: She's only intending to record this, in place of her memory.]

Perhaps I will need to kill some of the boring ones in order to garner their attention... or break a window. 

[Private WildCards]

[Feel free to HMU for Memo to target your characters specifically! You can reach me on Plurk: taiyakinonaku ]

Who: Professors Kukui and Sycamore
What: Experiments on cowboy fashion sense.
Where: In a undisclosed location that is not Kukui's usual basement like in Alola.
When: Backdated to around early to mid event

[It's not every day that two Pokemon Professors got to collaborate on anything scientific. Even less often they did so to investigate the portal anomalies. Kukui went into this wondering if this is related to the ultra wormholes from home, only to be both disappointed and relieved.

During the tiring and emotionally draining search, the professors found and brought home a peculiar hat. All of his Pokemon could see it, but treated it as if it couldn't be interacted with. Incineroar in particular was holding the hat, but acted like it wasn't really there, thus seemed confused about what to do with it, despite knowing what hats are for.]

This is really throwing me for a big ol' U-Turn, cousin. Incineroar doesn't seem to know what to do with it. Here... [Kukui takes The hat from the Pokemon to pass it to his Kalosian colleague.] How does Garchomp act with it?

[Guess who has another video post for you all? However this time, you can only see his eyes up close to the camera.]

Hello everyone. I hope you managed to avoid the Easter eggs for the past few days so far. Unfortunately...

[He then backs away from the camera, revealing that Sycamore's curly hair has somehow changed from black to white.]

It seems that I can't seem to get away from them for so long. At least my dreadful singing has worn off. I hope my hair will do the same for the next few hours.

[Sycamore clears his throat as he moves on to the next topic in hand.]

Anyways, it seems that these Easter eggs are more than just ways to give us temporary random effects.

[He then grabs his camera and shifted it's focus to a seemingly normal dog... that seems to wash the professor's dishes as his Garchomp watches in disbelief.]

As you can see, this dog actually came from an egg I found near Garden Park Apartment. I didn't pick the egg up, but it suddenly hatched out this creature right in front of me. Which I landed on another egg and ended up with my current appearance.

[The scene suddenly shifted back to Augustine as soon he said that last sentence, which he sheepishly scratches the back of his head.]

While these animals do hatch from these kinds of eggs, I can't say they are actually Pokemon. Besides, I doubt that this little guy might be a Lillipup or a Growlithe. Not only that, I did see some residents who seemed to have parrots that shouted out gossip and rumors and a goldfish that grows whenever someone feeds them. Regardless, I may try to learn more about these egg creatures, so feel free to notify me if you owned one of them.

Until then, I might wear a hat until my hair reverts back to normal.

[He then looks up to see his white bang right in front of his face before he turned the camera off.]

Lunch time - Genessia - Fayren Archway - Event - Thoughout the Day
[Allen had been on the job for the past few hours, patrolling in the areas he had been assigned and on the odd occasion or two making sure he walked past the archway to Fayren. So far nothing of real interest, just children messing around now and again, being in places they should be or just drawing graffiti on the walls of a shop, which Allen had been quick to get them to stop even if that was really the police job more than his.

On his patrol however, he found what appeared to be eggs laying around. He had no idea where they came from or who left them, but the young man looked around.]

Anyone leave an... egg... around. [It felt stupid just saying it out loud, but it seemed like no one seemed at all interested in the egg itself. So he came to the conclusion that it was no ones, which made it sitting there very suspicious. In his head, he knew that honestly, he should report it to let Satou tell him what to do. But at the same time, he was worried about what it might do if something were to happen while he did that.

So moving over, he reached out to pick up the egg and suddenly he finds himself surrounded in a puff of red smoke, causing him to cough for a moment. Whoever was close by will see the boy and soon see the effect the egg caused.]

[OOC: People can see any one of the effects below. Just comment with which one:

A) Bunny ears
B) Only answering in truths
C) Singing (Most likely bad singing)
D) Rain cloud
E) Narrator]

[The feed kicks on to a tanned man still making some last minute adjustments on before he grins, satisfied with the position.]

Alola! The name's Kukui, good to meet you all. So this is no joke? We passed through a possible Ultra Wormhole into another world? That would make for some crazy stories to tell, yeah!

So, a bit about myself. I'm a Pokémon Professor studying the moves of Pokémon and how they're influenced by the bonds formed between man and mon. It's good to see that Pokémon are here as well, which means I can continue my research, woo!

Also, if anyone sees a super smart and beautiful woman by the name of Burnet, tell her give me a call, or let me know, yeah?

[Gotta make sure his wifey is safe and sound, after all.]

That's it for now. Hope I make a good First Impression with you all. See ya later!

[Before Class]

Today's the day! Professor Sycamore announced the class a few weeks ago through the network and right now in Attleton University's lecture hall, he prepared everything for his first Pokemon class of the year. If anyone arrives early, they will see him set up not only his Pokedex and some slides on the table but also some Poke Balls that contain his Pokemon including his very own Garchomp as well some healing and Pokemon care items that he saved up from the last Pokemon phenomenon.

In any case, he has a feeling that some interested people are going to attend today's class.

[After Class]

The Pokemon Introduction Class has been dismissed! Talk about a really interesting class (or bad depending on your viewpoint)! Sycamore's Garchomp and Furfrou will wave goodbye to the attendants while the Pokemon Professor is packing up before he can go home. If you like to ask some more questions about Pokemon or some tips on taking care of your Pokemon, now's the time to ask.

[OOC: If anyone wants to tag during the class, I already put up a top-level comment below! So go crazy and enjoy the class! Also, feel free to jump in other characters' toplevels if you want to mingle with your classmates before or after class!]

[As the video starts, you can see the Pokemon Professor himself in his lab coat standing in front of the camera.]

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I used the network.

I'm here to tell you that I'm planning to put up a class on the introduction on Pokemon at the Attleton University next week on Monday, March 11.

We've been getting some new residents lately and I think it would be a good time to give you basic details on what these creatures are.

If you have any questions, just contact me through the network.

[EDIT: As the mods reminded me, the class will be delayed to March 18 due to the initial date conflicting to the Nightmare event (which I won't be participating with my characters). Any mention of the date will be retconned to that said date.]

[Well, this is strange. The first thing you see isn't to seem to be the Pokemon Professor himself, but a yellow eye peeking through the camera. When it zooms out, it reveals Sycamore's Garchomp staring at the camera, who seems to be shivering. Not only that, you could see a shredded towel on her mouth and a large blanket covering her backside as well her fin. She seems to shiver as she continues to stare, even sneezing after a few seconds.

Eventually, Professor Sycamore's hand appears as he rubs Garchomp's muzzle as she growls in relief.]

Garchomp, calm down. It's alright, I already activated the heater, so just stay put, okay?

[Eventually, the camera begins to shift directions as it now shows Sycamore himself as he stares at the camera.]

Oh my... I didn't expect you activated the camera. I know you're curious about my phone, but please try not to touch it without my permission.

[Unfortunately for the professor, he is unaware that it was recording the whole thing live.]

Umm... This is peculiar...

[He then backs away from the camera, revealing two antlers attached to his forehead.]

As you can see, they suddenly grew out from my head a few minutes ago. I have no idea how this happens, but my guess is that another phenomenon has happened.

As for my Garchomp's reaction...

[He moves the camera slightly to reveal his Mach Pokemon, who is somehow fainted with her jaws dropped.]

Let's just say she didn't take it very well...

(OOC: For reference, his Deer Animal Folk form is based on a white-tailed deer.)

WHO: Ash Ketchum, OTA
WHERE: Genessia City and Everglade City
WHEN: June 6-June 12
WHAT: Action all over!
WARNINGS: None yet!

( Let'z go!! Do a Reversal! Absolutely never giving up! )

[As the video starts, you can see a young boy in a blue polo shirt, denim pants, and red sneakers as his Garchomp standing next to him.]

I just heard about the eggs are not only spread in Genessia, but also in other cities as well. And before you can ask questions, it’s me, Professor Sycamore and from what you can tell, I am also affected by the eggs. Though it managed to let me retain my memories and knowledge when I was an adult.

However, I am curious. Did anyone got those eggs and have the same effects like me?

WHO: Professor Sycamore and YOU!
WHERE: Genessia City and Nova City
WHEN: April 1 - 8
WHAT: Easter/April Fools Event
WARNINGS: Nothing so far. But will change if something happens.

[Action] Shrink Down [Garden Park]

[Usually, you can see Professor Sycamore often pass through the Garden Park after his work at GSRF. But for some reason, you see a Garchomp carrying a young boy to the apartment. For some reason, he is wearing clothes that seemed too big for him to wear. What's even more strange is that he has the same black wavy hairstyle that a certain Pokemon Professor has.

Once he was at the entrance of the apartment, the boy looks at his own body as if he is both confused and shocked at what happened to him recently.]

[Text/Action] Help? [Closed to Ash Ketchum]

[Eventually, Sycamore managed to adopt this strange changes. Thankfully, his mind was saved from this regression so he is able to retain his mature mindset as well his well-known Pokemon knowledge. However, there is one problem. He doesn't know when will these strange effects wear off, but because of his small body, he has to find new clothes to wear for now.

Because of this, he needs to have some temporary clothing to go out. And with a familiar face now in Genessia, he knows who he just wants to text.]

Ash, sorry to disturb you, but can you meet me at my apartment in Garden Parks? I would explain why, but it would be better if you see it for yourself.

[With that, he waits patiently in his apartment, waiting for a reply or Ash's arrival.]

[Action] Youthful Experience [Around Genessia and Nova City]

[Eventually, after finding some clothes that fit his now small body, he is able to go outside without a problem. However, because of his current predicament, he can't return to work like this. Because of this, he has to call in sick until these Easter egg phenomena are resolved.

But it isn't all bad for the now pint-sized Professor. In fact, it seemed to be a welcoming change for him as he spends most of his time playing with his Pokemon as well enjoying some establishments that the young residents enjoy such as the arcades and several parks.]

Action

When Lilie woke from the Pod, she was making darn sure she had her things with her. Pokeball times 2? Check. That's a new one on her. Magic phone? Missing. Oh right, she gave that up before heading home. Ultra Guardian outfit? That's here...

Nodding to herself, she released Shiron from her Pokeball and stooped down to address her. "Looks like we're in another world, Shiron."

"Coo!" Exclaimed Shiron as Lilie smiled, tilting her head as the pair watched the information hologram. "So it's not like Willows then," she said, taking stock of her items. Lilie checked for the amount of money and then smiled. "I'm so glad I have a winter jacket. Let's go exploring, Shiron!"

Her Vulpix following her, Lilie started heading into town to explore, fairly unafraid of what was out there. This wasn't her first rodeo after all.


Video

Lilie had figured out the ins and outs and decided to make a post. There was a lot more scary people here than last time, but at least it seemed to be under control as she keyed in her video.

"Good afternoon everyone, my name's Lilie. I'm a student of the Pokemon School of Melemele Island and I would like to say hello. This isn't the first time I've been drawn into another world, but I would like to offer my assistance with Pokemon. I'm very knowledgeable about them, and can be of benefit to the recent additions to your family.

I suppose I should put out a call to Ash Ketchum and Rotom-Dex on the network as well, since I've noticed his name come up in the list since we're friends back home. Ash, if you could give me a call, there's something I'd like to discuss with you about timelines.

All right that appears to be it. Have a good day everyone.

[The feed comes on to the image of a young girl, who certainly looks much better now, having almost completely recovered from her illness. She was a radiant little beauty with something to share.]

...I suppose, in a way, it is an early birthday gift? I happened upon this beautiful stone the other day. It appeared to be clear and looking into it was like looking into the night sky.

Does anyone know what kind of stone it is? I have here if it helps to see it...

[Anastasia was about to reach for it, she had kept it by her vanity mirror, but she stopped.]

It... It's gone...? Where could it...

[She gets up and leaves her bedroom and out to the living room where she found it. Her Popplio had it and it was bouncing and balancing the Dusk Stone on its nose, with Misdreavus floating around in amusement.]

Poppy! That's not a toy!

[Anastasia's sudden appearance startled Popplio, bouncing the Dusk Stone out of its control and plummeting to the ground. Fearing it could break, Misdreavus catches it in its mouth, making a vocalisation like, "Ta-da~"]

Phew... Good girl, Phantasma. Now, bring it to mo--

[The Dusk Stone began to glow brightly, so bright that it engulfed Misdreavus. Anastasia couldn't handle such bright light that she covered her eyes and looked away. The phone could see everything, as well as anyone watching her broadcast.

The little ghost Pokémon lost its distinctive shape, becoming a glowing ball of light. In mere seconds, the glowing ball of light began to take a new shape, larger and and profound, then the light faded.

In Misdreavus's place was a entirely new Pokémon that she hasn't seen before.

Anastasia looked back once her light blindness went away and saw what happened to Phantasma, then looked back to the camera.]

...Happy birthday to me...? What just happened?
