Mistral has been assaulted by Sirocco the Vulpix, a doppelganger conjured from the scant rejected shadows of his personality. She had aimed to take his life and memories in hopes of becoming a complete entity! Now that her assassination has been twarted, she and her team has since fled into into the drafty Windswept Weald. Too busy collecting time gears to apprehend the outlaw among their ranks, the Sol Guild has left the task of bringing the attacker to justice to Lost Hope...

Maroon is furious. Fire pours out from his jaws like burning drool as low growl rumbles in his chest and the air around him distorts from the heat.

It's brisk out here! It takes a conscious effort just to plant your feet in place, and the lightest of youu manage to slide around in the wind a fair bit, anyway... Sable and Citrine can see just as well as anywhere else, but for everyone else, it's getting hard to keep your eyes open in the gusts...

Charles's newfound build and reach allows him to pluck Scav straight out of the air, and achor himself to the ground with slime. Most of the rest of you manage to find trees to cling to while Sable digs underground, but Poli and Citrine are starting to fall back in the wind...
All of you notice a web across the ground ahead a few feral Gligar and and Whimsicott are using to get around unimpeded. You could do it too, but a sticky web could leave you vulnerable, and you'd have to find another way to get through the wind otherwise...

A bit too much surface area it seems. You can't step well enough to move anywhere you want...

Everyone else manages to dig in and move along just fine. About halfway through the web however, Astor and Bind cling to a string connected to a dense bush. A clicking sound can be heard from it as they put their weight on on the string, and immediately the bush erupts into flames! There must have been one of Sirocco's bombs planted within. The howling winds spread it to the entire web surrounding Bind and Astor in seconds! It's a fair bit too sticky to just get off...

They fly off into the distance, but this was just calibration and the wind takes the boxes back to their purchasers.
"Ah, a hole in 108. Our favorite high score."

Maroon, a burning bright comet, flies right off the cliff and into the valley, roaring forth. But it seems that he's not aerodynamically correct enough to get that far! He's caught up in the impossibly strong winds, tumbling in the warm air.

>>5262634
Sable tosses up some summoned gems, glowing bright. He attempts to pinpoint his strike and attack back...

>>5262635
Castform summons a dark group of furious, shattering clouds above the fleeing party. Willing the power of electricity, he attempts to smite them...

>>5262641
Escavalier's Flash Cannon fires off as his lances come to a pinpoint! There's a flash and a bang! The arc of light weakens as it reaches the group, but it'll certainly hit...

>>5262642
Astor opens his beak and feels the ultimate power rolling right out of it! The column of energy bursts forth, streaking through the sky like a malevolent missile! That one will have to hit, for sure...

>>5262643
With the ice in his veins and the power of the chill within, it's suddenly without as it exits his mouth with an accurate shot! It'll freeze them over, certainly...

Lord Kingdra attempts to freeze up the Milotic! Will it drop the group? Nope. It doesn't seem it's intense enough to go that far...

>>5262646
His lazily fired Power Gems lazily shoot at Team Penultimate!

There's a hexagonal wall of blue light behind Sirocco that absorbs all the moves! It seems she anticipated getting shot as they fled!

With everyone airborne... it'll be flying combat in Windswept Weald's thermal valley!

Soaked and battered by the unrelenting assault, Sirocco twists around enough in Doctor Doppler's grasp. She grabs something from her bag and lobs it out. The small wooden container hisses before exploding! It blinds all of LHG!
>Sirocco used Flash Bomb! You can't crit for the next turn!

"I bet you won't fucking like that! Fuck you!"

Milo unleashes a beam of water from her mouth, directing another Hydro Pump right back at the group... and right at Maroon!

Doctor Doppler, despite faltering in the air, uses Psychic to throw Charles away from the group, sending the gooey dragon at Ymir! "Behold! The genius manifest! I will use my brain to send you careening! Muahahaha!"

Doctor Doppler, their escape leaf compromised, quickly pulls out his special patented sealing solution (Rillaboom Repair, a mix of various tree saps and Sticky Web). He attempts to pat out the fire caused by Maroon and frantically applies the glue. "My genius will save us from falling into thermals! My sticking genius! Muahahahaha!" He pats the flames bouncing on him. "The fire is only a sign of success! Or was it failure...?"

Sirocco uncorks another grenade and tosses it into the middle of the group. "I hope you like punching the shit out of each other...!" she roars.
>X-Eye Bomb! Everyone has become substitutes! Who's who!? For the next turn, rolling a 7 or lower causes you to attack a teammate! This can be countered, however, moves or abilities that negate it can cancel this out.

Doppler is struck by the burning flames and slicing beak of both dog and bird and, with a hand places it to his head. Reaching into his mad scientist satchel, he strikes a flare and causes some smoke to cough up. "My genius... it shone much too bright! I have been shot down for the crime of my intelligence!"

He starts to spin out of control, careening to the valley. Or well, he would, instead he falls onto a cushion of air and just floats around, knocked out. "...Sirocco, you must finish the experiments..."

"You're not dying, dumbass!" she shouts back, voice hoarse. Sirocco is bleeding and nearly out of it. One more hit and she's out! "I... I'll fucking finish this!"

As it floats between both groups... the weapon shines with such power! All sounds are silenced for a couple of seconds as a miniature green sun forms in the middle! Then...

A loud cacophony of noise returns to join the real explosion.

It rocks the winds with its oppressive shockwave and your sense of smell is overloaded by dill and vinegar as you're sent blasting off!

Bind loses track of his surroundings as he falls. He's out of ideas...

Sirocco is knocked out, half-stuck in the tree. Doctor Doppler has fallen nearby, stuck facing up as he rests on the back of his dotted shell.

Milo slithers out, battered and beat. She's currently in no state to put up a fight. Weakly, she raises her tail fan as a flag and waves it around. "I... as the leader and on behalf of my team, I surrender." She sighs. "I know when we're... beat. It is disheartening it had to come to this..."

Bind closes his eyes and mentally prepares as much as one can for a fall from the ridge of a canyon.
The crash is definitely the painful thing he's ever felt, but it's...bearable! After a few moments of uncertain terror, he's pretty sure he's uninjured enough to get up, even? He chances a peek around...

>>5263260
>Bind sees Sable! But something's off with him.
Bind, are you okay?
>Sable has golden teeth and red eyes! He's also spikier and has a hole in his chest where his ruby is supposed to be.
I caught you, but we fell from such a height...
>Sable is looking all over Bind for injuries

Bruises, near everywhere. But it's sure a lot better than how a dry impact would've looked. Not even a dislocation!
"What?! You had to have tsken the bulk of that crash! You should be looking at yourself!... And look at yourself!" He marvels at the unscratched Ruby on the ground.

"Incroyable..."

>>5263273
Ah, just a little ankle pain. Okay, a lot of ankle pain, but that doesn't matter. What do you mean look at myself? Did the wind mess up my hair or- wait, I don't have hair. What's up, what's different about me?

"I don't suppose -this- looks or feels at all familiar?"
He holds up the gem. A faint reflection of Sable can be seen within.

"Wait, waitwhyisthissomuchheavie-ACK"
He drops it. Despite falling into some dense grass, it makes an audible thud.

>Sable lifts up his ruby and leans it on him
Oof... Seems like I've gained some weight. I don't think I'm gonna be running around with this thing.

wait a second...

The guild has Team Penultimate's items confiscated and their teammates in bonds, and quietly rushes them out of the dungeon before any loops can rejuvenate Dr Doppler or Milo. She's the only one of the three still conscious on their way back to town...

"Not to excuse our behavior, but you'll have to understand. My peers, no, my partners have daunting challenges ahead of them, and their backgrounds were not conducive to their success. These unfortunate two need nurturing and direction for their intellect and potential! That cannot happen from prison! For what it's worth, I am sorry we had to fight you for our freedom."

Location: Outside of Windswept Weald's perimeter

Milo looks back at the dungeon as they exit it, escorted by the LHG team. She has her two teammates riding on her back as she slithers along. "I still apologize profusely for all of this. What I did as a Leader was wrong... but I believed it to be in the best interest of Sirocco." She gestures her head at Doppler. "The Doctor, however, could... care less. He has always been free-spirited."

The weather is still warm from the dungeon permeation. You have some time before you arrive back at Treasure Town.

"Sure"
Astor lies

>Charles is here!

“You are the leader Milo? I had assumed Sirocco was in charge. If I may ask, how did you all meet?”

>>5264745
"No promises, but I'll try and keep things nice, or keep things ice if they get out of hand."

>>5264778
"I remember coming across this half-starved thing, angry at the world. So I helped her up and eventually pitied her to provide a place to stay. Eventually, I offered her the option of joining my team." She looks back, thoughtful. "I guess I have a habit of wanting to help."

Milo sighs. "I knew she had ghost-types in her chest for a long time but I... never expected it to be something like this. I'm not sure what I can say."

>>5264789
"You should really teach her to stop swearing so frequently, by the way. She sounds childish."

>>5264789
“You care a lot for your team don’t you?”

“May I ask something of you?”

As the guild approaches Treasure Town, They find Team Paladins heading in the same direction from the opposite way. Aether the Pancham has a turquoise gleam about him.

Sol crosses arms and scoffs. "Ah, it's you all. And you have Sirocco, too! A successful mission for both of us. Err, how do you all know her? Why is she assaulting you?!"

>>5264799
"She tried to kill Mistral after tricking us into letting her into the guild."

>>5264799
"Sirocco tried to kill a guildmate? Did... Did we not tell you? Or do you mean something else? And uh..."
*Cava turns to his guildmates. "Should we tell 'em?"

>>5264804
>>5264799
"Or did we already tell 'em about alternate stuff?"

>>5264804
>>5264806
"I'm aware there was an assault. I knew she was twitchy, but clearly there is a dark side to her we were unaware of. I would like to hear what you know of her."

>>5264792
"I have tried. The Doctor has also tried." Her eyes dart to the side. "I would like to say we were wildly unsuccessful. A strong head and an even stronger will. I decided to focus on other things. Getting her adjusted to polite society, for one. It's a work-in-progress."

>>5264794
"Is that not what a Leader must do? I strive to accomplish that much." Milo hears the last part. "Yes? What might that be?"

>>5264819
>Rolling to convince?
“You care for your team like family. I wish to do the same for mine. A while back, I was told I could learn a move called Life Dew. A move that I could use to heal my friends. My family. Keep them safe. I cannot learn the move normally. I need a…piece of a Pokémon that can learn it. I was told Milotics can do so. Could I ask, for a prism scale? Or any of your scales?”

"I'll just tell 'em. What could possibly go wrong? Okay, so there's this dude, calls himself 'The Father', or whatever. He's a funky lookin' Alakazam apparently. So he doesn't like us. Like a lot. So a lot of the Lost Hope Guild lost some, all, or none of their memories in the transition here, and this 'Father' took those memories, and shoved 'em in empty vessels. He... Brainwashed? Convinced? Manipulated them into kinda hating us and wanting to kill their counterparts, and to take our place or get back home or whatever, depends on the alternate. Thankfully, not ALL of them wanna kill us, like Kira or Leafa, but Sirocco here... Well, Mistral had all his memories, so Sirocco had none. And so, she tried to kill Mistral for the blatant unfairness, or something? Tried to take Mistral's place? Memories? I'm not the most sure."

"An attempted killing is a much more serious charge than anything magnezone typically has to deal with. If you tell me you believe she is still dangerous or can't be handled civilly, we may have to isolate her and her team... or worse." Sol looks more than a little troubled at the prospect; not expecting Sol's teammates to have abetted Sirocco.
