There was a small crisis at the market that I helped solve and long story short...

[She pans the camera around to a small pile of boxes behind her that are FULL of apples.]

There's no way we can eat all of these before they go bad, but they insisted I take them as thanks. Does anyone want some apples?

[The Warp Band flickers to life, showing what is at first a somewhat wobbly image of a rather large and fancy bedchamber - an ornate rug on the floor, a large hand-carved wooden bureau, and a canopy bed. As the camera stabilizes, however, it becomes quickly apparent that there is someone in the bed. It's hard to tell exactly who at first, as all that's visible is a large shifting mess of blankets, but soon enough there's a loud squeaky sneeze that reveals the mystery figure as Lenna. She lets out a few heavy breaths and a groan, throwing half of the covers off of her but clinging to the rest of them at the same time. She's clad in a modest silk nightgown, her hair a mess around her horns as one of her legs dangles out and over the side of the bed, a single fluffy Flareon slipper falling to the floor as her toes curl from the air hitting her bare foot. The bed itself is flanked by a Gallade and a Lucario, stony-faced as ever as they watch over their trainer, who pulls herself up into a sitting position with a sniffle and a groan.]

Ohhhhhhh... my head...

[In response, the unseen cameraman lets out the telltale cry of a very concerned Dragonite, causing Lenna to blink blearily in its direction before her eyes go wide.]

A-Alexander, turn that off...! I can't be seen like this!

[Flushing even more than she was before from what is an obvious illness, Lenna pulls the covers as far up over her as they will go, drawing her legs up under the blankets and huddling there in embarrassment. She tries to wave her hand frantically at the camera, but it ends up flopping down in front of her - she's just too tired. Defeated, she lets out a short sigh.]

Ah... I-I'm sorry, everyone. Alexander must have been worried. But I'll be fi... i... ah... c-choo!

[With that, and a frustrated groan, she flops back against her pillows. Clearly she could use a bit of help, but is too proud to ask for it. It's always the ones who spend all their time helping others who have the hardest time accepting it themselves.]

[Video, backdated to earlier in the week]

[Something like this is sent individually to everyone at Union Divine Theater and everyone she's had more than two threads with at some point or another.]

Hey! I've been thinking about it and I wanted to cook dinner for some of my friends this week, maybe show off some of the family cooking skills and try making some Calderan and Refuge food. Wanna come?

[Action, Wednesday dinner time, open to invitees]

((If in doubt assume you were invited.))

[It has been decided. Rise is going for it. She's going. To cook.]

[More specifically, after an encouraging discussion about Calderan spices back during the Day of Fire, Rise's blown most of her spare cash on accumulating a wide variety of interesting spices and foodstuffs from around Union and Union's new friends, and she's set about making a big dinner for all her friends, singing cheerfully as she prepares a variety of egg, vegetable, rice, and (of course) tofu dishes.]

[Normally, Toyo would be rallying her Pokémon in a valiant attempt to prevent her from ruining perfectly good food, but before she could gather the troops, Rise had already begun the process of dumping huge amounts of cayenne, paprika, Spelon berry, chili, curry spices, Cheri berry, horseradish, and whatever Sichuan peppers are called in this universe onto everything she's cooking, and the smell alone keeps her spice-hating team away. Defeated, Toyo falls back to order food to arrive later, when the place will be filled with starving and possibly injured guests.]

[At dinner time, guests and fellow theater employees would find a large spread of rather nice-looking dishes laid out for them by a cheerful Rise and also very quickly cease to have any sinus problems whatsoever.]

Hey hey, welcome guys! Have a seat and dig in! I don't know about you, but I'm starving.

[Today? Your warp band opens up to a feed of a young girl who's fiddling furiously with the controls. A Carbink hovers beside it, sparkling and shining cheerfully. There's not really much going on, but she blinks when it comes to life.]

Oh! It works! Um...hi!

[A wave, and then she pokes the camera with a finger.]

This thing is confusing...

[More fiddling...]

Is everything here just more complicated than it needs to be? I-

[And then whoops, it cuts off.]

Action 1

[In the Residential district there's the distinctive patter of tiny feet and a screeching, child-yelp. The screaming continues and grows louder as a small girl runs by with a Carbink in her arms...pursued by a pair of angry Spearow.]

Stop following me! Go awaaaaay!!

Action 2

[In the library, someone is definitely not being quiet. A little girl's voice echoes down the long rows of books, exclamations of wonder and delight. She's never been allowed in a real library before, and the fact that she's able to touch books that don't belong to the Tohsaka's personal collection is like a Birthday and Winter Festival present rolled together. Rin climbs up and just grabs several big books at random, tottering over to a table and setting them down with a thud. And if someone doesn't stop her, she's going to get a few more...]

Action 3

[Finally, it's getting on towards nighttime and a sleepy Rin is trudging her way home. She'd eluded guardians all day, but even she had to admit that it was time for bed. Only...she doesn't exactly know where that is yet. She'd scampered off in daylight and now it's too dark for her to get her bearings. Is it this fountain or that fountain where you turn left? Was there a Noctowl statue sitting on the roof when she'd come by at noon?

It's troubling enough that she starts by going over to tug the nearest stranger's pant leg.]

Um. Excuse me...can you help me find my way home?

With war almost upon us, we must all do our best to become the absolute strongest that we can. Unfortunately, I have not been able to train as much as I would like, on account of my strength makes it difficult to spar with someone without the risk of serious injury if I don't carefully hold back.

It never seemed terribly pressing when we were more or less at peace, but now I need to ask. Are there any of you who want to train with me who are tougher than an ordinary human?

[Action]

A few days before the operation to save Sanctuary began, Morgiana has done a crash course to help get herself back in shape. She wasn't ever exactly OUT of shape, but her months spent in Union have left her slightly less hard bitten and deadly than she had been as a servitor. All that friendship and understanding and regular meals really takes the edge off of a warrior.

And so, after making her offer/challenge to the warp band network, she spent her afternoon in a small dirt field not far beyond the walls that she frequently used for training in relative privacy, waiting for would be opponents. While she waited, she practiced punches, aided by the massive stone weights strapped around her wrists. Gultas, her Pangoro friend and ally, stood by her and matched her motions. Though the pokemon was easily two or three times the size of the fanalis, he was probably the weaker of the two.

[It isn't often that Lenna leaves Union for extended periods of time, but this week she's off on a training trip to the Tropical Island just south of the city. It's been a few weeks since her second evolution, and she's been anxious to see what her new abilities can do - especially since she seems to have spontaneously developed a secondary typing as Dragon. Some of her powers still involve the Water type, though, so she's dressed in a swimsuit as she walks along the beach in preparation for her training. Anyone on the island might see her in one of a few situations.]

1. [Trying out the familiar first, Lenna swims out into the water a short way, kicking out with her legs and floating on her back for a few moments as she concentrates. There's a bluish glow from her body, and within moments a huge tidal wave kicks up under her, lifting her up and out of the water. She does her best to balance on top of the wave using her mastery over the Water type, but it doesn't work so well the first few times and she ends up either falling into the water and washing ashore, or losing her balance and faceplanting into the sand. After a few attempts, though, she manages to stand up on top of the wave, riding it in and hopping off onto the sand once it's finished rolling in.]

2. [Next, she's going to work on her new Dragon type abilities. And for that, she's going to need a sparring partner. Summoning Kelger the Lucario from her Warp Band, Lenna strikes a rarely seen fighting pose, her fingernails lengthening into full-on draconic claws as she rushes forward to unleash a series of incredibly strong attacks. The seasoned warrior Fighting type does his best to block her where he can without hurting her in return, and the attacks that do land are dampened by his secondary Steel typing. Any lingering damage to either of them left at the end is taken care of with a quick Heal Pulse. This is recognizable to anyone familiar with the Dragon type as an Outrage attack, but curiously, Lenna has somehow managed to avoid the confusion effect that normally hits after the attack ends.]

3. [After the training is over, it's time to relax a little. Lenna has found a nice spot under one of the palm trees to lay out a towel and relax for a while, stretching out in the sun and enjoying the feel of the warmth on her skin. She's got her Pokemon out to play and relax a little too - Kelger the Lucario, Alexander the Dragonite, Bartz the Jumpluff, Needle the Yanmega, and Krile the Skitty can all be found frolicking about in various areas nearby as Lenna relaxes. She's counting on some nice quiet time alone, especially since she's dressed in what she would still think of as something a little embarrassing, but of course life rarely works out that way.]

Hello everyone, Lux here with a bit of official Seeker business. I was hoping if a few people would be willing to help me out. I promise that I won't take up too much of your time.

The Seekers are looking to collect first-hand accounts of what those that went underground during the... time travel-vision-whatever that might have been--the earthquakes, in order to hopefully learn more about the experience, as well as possible connections to the past before the time of the Savior.

These interview can be conducted in a number of different ways. If you feel comfortable, someone from the Seekers--either myself or someone else--will meet with you in person, in a place of your choice. If you don't feel comfortable meeting in person, we can arrange other methods to communicate, either through the warp bands, letters, or some other means.

You do not have to feel obligated to speak to one of us, let me be clear. However, we do hope that enough people are willing to recall what they saw while down there. You have the option of staying anonymous if you so choose, but getting first-hand accounts of what you saw or felt during this time are important in understanding the past, as well as what the Gods' intentions were in the past, or are now.

Thank you everyone for hearing me out. I hope to hear from some of you soon!

[Today, Rise is broadcasting from the Union Divine Theater's famously destructible but very pretty courtyard. She was originally trying to meditate out here, as she figures befits a Psychic-type, but she got restless after about a half an hour and decided she should do something proactive instead. Especially since, in the few calm minutes she managed, a thought occurred to her.]

Hey, everybody, Rise here. I wanted to give you a couple of updates now that stuff has calmed down since our little adventure with the gods.

The first is that the Union Divine Theater's going to be putting on a play in honor of the Moon Gods. They're moon gods, right? Would Dream Gods be more accurate? The couple from Soulfasting, anyway.

[Ahem.]

Anyway, we put up advertisements for it, but I wanted to remind everyone that auditions are open to the public and will start this Sunday, so come by the Theater if you'd like to be part of it!

Now, the second thing is...a lot of us learned a lot from that experience last month, right? About the past and the gods? Well, there's a lot of unexplored ruins around that might tell us even more about what we were meant to learn then, and with some help from more experienced delvers, I thought I'd organize my own expedition to one of them. I'm looking for about four more people there (well, three if Asemu Asuno knows what's good for him) to go and find out more about the past, the war, and maybe even the Gods.

Anyone interested?

my_father_is_a_tycoon

[Lenna has been conspicuously absent from the Warp Band network and scarce in general ever since coming back from the trip to the past. While it was a harrowing experience that gave her a lot to think about and genuinely frightened her a little, her sudden week-long disappearance from Union society actually has nothing at all to do with that. Instead, when she returned and examined the Dragon Plate she received from Cresselia, it awoke a dormant power within her. The ancestral power of the Tycoon family. The power of Dragons.]

Ah... hello, everyone.

[As the feed flares to life, the change in Lenna's appearance is immediately apparent. Her normally straight pink hair is slightly longer, wavy, and a bit untamed, but more than that - she now has two blue dragon-like ears on the sides of her head. As she fidgets and turns from side to side in front of the camera, it's also briefly apparent that there are two small wings on her back, reminiscent of those of a Dragonite.]

I'm sorry I haven't contacted anyone since we all returned from investigating the earthquake, but I've gone through some... changes recently, and I had to do some alterations on my clothing first.

[She seems happy, but also somewhat embarrassed, clearly not quite used to it all just yet.]

At any rate... I know we've all been through a lot recently, but I feel the gods must have shown us what they did for a reason. I can only hope they're proud of the progress we've made as a people. We certainly must be doing something right, as it seems they've given us their blessing once again. Let's all continue to live by the example of the Savior, and show the same kindness to both Pokemon and each other.

[For the last three weeks, Estelle Bright hasn't been seen much. Sure, she's answered by the communicators in her Warp Band, sometimes. But she was out on a mission.]

[It maybe hasn't gone so well, because she appears abruptly; she's covered in mud. A few tufts of grass stick out from her hair, and she's more mud and dirt than Calderan Enlightened at the moment. She tries to wipe some of it off her face.]

[It doesn't work.]

Public service announcement, people! The wetlands are more like the MUDLANDS. Thanks and goodnight!

[An exasperated sigh later:] I need like fifty million showers.

[Rei's Warp Band pops on today to show an exasperated looking priestess stalking away from the living quarters of Hikawa Shrine. It's a positively lethal look she's got going on, as if anything trying to stop her would probably wind up spontaneously combusting. And the reason for it becomes quite clear a moment later as a small green hand shifts the camera back to the house.

A Kanghaskhan stalks out, both her arms and her baby's laden with packs. Big, bulging backpacks and small shoulder ones stuffed to the gills. The big Pokemon lumbers after Rei, bellowing out irritable sounds that to Poke-Speakers will sound oddly like 'You can't just go off without your extra blankets! And don't you forget your hair-care stuff! And make sure to remember to bring enough clean clothes for a whole week, since you're not taking me so I can wash it for you!'

The camera pans back to Rei as she reaches the stairs to the shrine, where she's stopped to glare at the overly mothering Pokemon.]

Juno! I don't need all that! I can't carry half of it, and I've been traveling a lot longer than I've known you!

[More bellowing, this time indignant. Of course you do! And she knows that, but now that you've got her, she'll definitely have to mother you because Grandpapa Hino sure can't! Just...

And that? Sparks something in Rei. She stamps her foot and practically snarls, snatching one of the backpacks in exasperation.]

Fine! But you're not my moth- [The words die in her throat as she catches sight of the flashing Warp Band.] CERES!

[The Warp Band drops to the ground...]

Treecko! Tree!

[And scampering off across the courtyard goes the offending Pokemon, cackling to herself as Rei goes to grab the band.]

Sorry about that. Someone is going to get a lesson on Warp Band etiquette when I get back. [She glares back behind her at the retreating lizard.] If anyone needs me, I'll be on the southern island for the rest of the week. There won't be any fortune telling at Hikawa Shrine this week, unless my grandfather is feeling up to it.

[She grimaces at the thought...]

Though...only if you really need one.

Action: The Tropical Island

[Rei's pretty much down on the island all week with a small group of her Pokemon and Ami. It was something they'd planned, and something she really needed. The Enhanced had been a mess, and Rei was quickly finding herself overwhelmed with all the goings on around Union lately. And while Juno was nice, but she was stressful. And Ceres...that damn lizard...was so frustrating.

Yes, relaxation was definitely in order. And who better to do it with than someone else who also needed that rest and relaxation?

She'll welcome people coming to say hi, too. She just really, really needed a vacation...]

[Lenna appears on the Warp Band with a soft smile on her face, adjusting the placement a bit before walking back to sit in a rather fancy-looking chair. A painting of who some might recognize as her father, Councilman Alexander Highwind Tycoon, hangs on the wall behind it. Lenna herself is dressed in a pink formal dress, her hair done up in curls. Apparently this is going to be a formal announcement as well, from the looks of things.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Lenna, first daughter of the Tycoon family. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank my fellow Unionites for all the help they gave in service to the city as well as in aid of Team Evolution and the recently rescued Enhanced. I believe we have all embodied the spirit of the Savior in this endeavor, staying true to the ideals of hope, courage, devotion, and passion that she herself represented. I hope that we can all continue to come together as a community to help these people receive the care that they need to live in the same peace and comfort that we have come to enjoy.

[She bows her head for a moment in a gesture of thanks, closing her eyes as if in prayer before looking back into the camera.]

In this same spirit, I have a personal announcement to make as well. As many of you know, the Tycoon family and especially my father have been involved with charitable works around the city for many generations. With my father currently absent from the city on personal business, and as I am of age, I will be assuming the headship of the Tycoon family from this moment forward. While I may not have my father's experience or personal connections as part of the Council, this will enable me to do more and give more for the people of this city, just as he himself would were he here to do so. I would request that anyone with outstanding business with my father to please feel free to bring it to me in his stead. Going forward, I pledge to do my very best for Union and all its people, as well as any and all who come here seeking a better life.

[Lenna pauses to take a deep breath. That was a long time in coming, and not the easiest thing to say, but she does look satisfied with it.]

Thank you all for your time.

[ It's very obviously Lux, but she sounds a little off. Exhausted maybe? ]

It's nothing serious, but could I get a few people to do some favors for me this week? Make some deliveries to the Seekers headquarters, pick up a few things around the business district, nothing major. I'll be happy to pay you. Last week really did a number on me...

Thank you in advance.

bravenewmods

With the revelation of the presence of the Enhanced, Union was able to quickly mobilize. As the strange conditions continued to worsen, the Trainers of Union once again set out to bring order to the chaos.

This time however, they do not walk entirely alone. A small, dedicated team remains behind in Union, sorting through the dossiers and information that Crystal and Rory have collected. Connected to those in the field via Warp Band network, hopefully they can identify the Enhanced and find a way to calm them before a tragedy occurs.

[OOC: There will be a thread for each active team based on the sign-ups. Any areas that did not have any sign-ups will not be present and will be addressed later. As per our usual standards, moderators and NPC helpers will progress the log at least once every 24 hours. The Union log will work somewhat differently from the battle logs in that the participants will be collecting information concerning the Enhanced; when enough information has been accumulated, they will be asked to tag into the battle threads to provide guidance and support to those out in the field.

Characters participating in the Union log will function as support staff for this event. They will have their own log interacting with Rory and Crystal and as characters in other logs encounter the Enhanced, they can use the observations made to try to find out more about the Enhanced in the field and help the people in the field determine an appropriate situation. Because of this, players in the Union thread may threadjack any ongoing log to relay information as needed.

The outcome of this event will depend very much on player decisions and the ability of the characters to respond to the threats at hand, so we would highly encourage you all to tag as regularly as possible. Thanks!]

[ Not even remotely private. She actually wants this to be seen by their guests. ]

Has anyone ventured out into the afflicted areas yet? What have you been able to find? I've been considering going out myself, despite the warnings from the Rangers and the "good timing" of our guests from Team Evolution.

I can't help but think that the two are related--the strange goings on and TeVo's sudden appearance--but I can't put my finger on how. Could they be causing it? They aren't drawing attention to what's going on, so on one hand I can believe it, but on the other... They did help us in Caldera. They're being way too quiet, I can't figure it out.

Anyway, I'm thinking about going out to the Forest Shrine in the next day or so, to take some samples of the affected plant life. I shouldn't be gone for more than a day or two. Is there anyone interested in going? I say this too because-- [ Mm, she's not sure it's that dangerous, but... ] If I'm not back in a few days, I might need some assistance.

[Action]

[Asemu had been in the process of answering a distress call coming from the Inner Wildwoods. Unfortunately, he himself had gotten into a sticky situation.

As anyone who might be nearby can see, he's surrounded by a huge swarm of the various Pokémon that can be found in the forest. He, as well as his own Pokémon, are fighting valiantly for themselves, but there are simply too many enemies. Even with his beam sabers and his rifle, Asemu can only do so much.

But then, a Shadow Ball flies out and hits his rifle, destroying it. Asemu draws his second beam saber and crosses blades with the Haunter that fired it, only for a second Haunter to grab him from behind.]

What?!

[The Haunter he'd been attacking grabs Asemu's beam sabers -- which extinguish as soon as they leave his hands -- and slams them into each other, breaking them into pieces. And try as he might, Asemu can't escape the Haunter's clutches.]

No...no! I'm NOT meeting my end here!

[Music.]

At that moment, Asemu begins to glow. A familiar feeling overcomes him.

Evolution.

Suddenly, a pair of fiery wings erupt from Asemu's shoulders. They shoot through the Haunter holding him, causing it to recoil and shriek in pain. The other Haunter tries to descend upon Asemu, but he throws a hand out and fires a beam from nothing but his palm. The Haunter takes the hit full-on and immediately pulls back.

The glow fades, and Asemu stands there, wings of fire dissipating and still holding his hand out. A Ninjask immediately gets in his face, but Asemu fires another beam -- no. This one isn't leaving his hand. It's more like a beam saber. The other hand makes another beam saber blade, and Asemu immediately enters into extremely fast close combat with the Ninjask. Ultimately, Asemu proves superior, then when the rest of the swarm comes down on him, he re-forms the wings of fire and lets beams shoot from his hands as fast as he can manage.

The scene dies down quickly. All of the Pokémon that had been attacking Asemu and his team have fainted. Asemu stands in the middle, breathing heavily.]

[Video, later]

[It's Asemu, but he looks a little different. His hair is a little longer, especially in the front and the back, and he looks a little more mature (though not quite the late 20s he is in this picture). He also appears to be somewhere in the Wildwoods.]

I never thought I'd actually do it. If anyone reached the third tier in my family, it should have been Dad. But...here I am. It saved my life, too.

I feel a lot more confident now with how to deal with the problems going on now, too. I don't need tools to use my powers any more, and I can solo a bunch of enemies at once. I just did, actually.

I'll be checking out the rolling plains when I get the chance. If there really are swarms of bugs flying around, I'm probably the best bet we have for taking care of them.

Video:

[When Rei addresses the network this evening, there's some obvious differences in her appearance than the last time she'd used the Warp Band. The first, perhaps most obvious, is the glowing sigil on her forehead and the burning orbs in the air around her. The second is the way the light catches her eyes, and the sheer intensity of them. They'd always been bright, but there's something new there, a not-quite fire dancing behind them. Her voice is light, almost amused, but also touched with a bit of worry. She's tired of this.]

So I've been having nightmares the past few nights. Bad ones about falling and drowning and worse. I thought I'd try and get away from them tiring myself out with some training, but that hasn't seemed to have helped. How do you deal with them?

[It's a call for help and advice in general, and at the same time she's hoping that it'll bring certain others to contact her too. They'd know who they were. If they don't think, the other Senshi can expect a private text message sent to them the next morning, simply asking if they have time to talk.]

[VIDEO]

Hello everyone! I hope you had a good new year. Hopefully this year will bring more good things to us and our neighbors. Last year was certainly exciting, and I get the feeling that this year will prove even more so.

On that, I have something of an announcement. I've been working on a project for quite some time now, and while I haven't been able to talk about it at length before, I'm finally allowed to speak a bit on it. I'm actually fairly excited.

Back in the summer, the Seekers chapters in Union and Caldera began doing research into a piece of technology known as a Pokédex. In old times, it acted as a portable compendium for pokémon, able to identity different species and dispense information on the fly. We were able to uncover some schematics and parts from the Old City, and since then have been working night and day to see if we could replicate this device in some way, shape or form.

Until recently, we were stumped. We could compile the information and place it into a database, but we couldn't figure out how to make it portable. However, after speaking with the elders at Refuge, we were able to uncover quite a few interesting parts. With these, we believe we'll be able to make something usable soon!

This is a call to any interested engineering types and delvers. We need a bit of help for the final push, to help figure out how to combine the database with the warp band's interface, and to either go through or retrieve more parts. We are also in need of those willing to help gather and compile information about various species of pokémon for the project.

While I'm certainly not the only one working on this, if you are interested, please let me know so that I can direct you to where you need to go. Thank you everyone and have a great new year!

[VOICE | PRIVATE]

[The message is the same, but is sent separately to Lenna and Natalia.]

Hey, when are you available next? I wanted to talk about a few things.

[ACTION]

[To say that she was thoroughly and completely over her head was a bit of an understatement.

Walking around the business district, Lux focused on the more fashionable shops and boutiques. This was more Camille's domain, but the blond mentioned wanting to take care of things by herself; it was probably a bit mistake. She didn't know the first thing about being fashionable, outside of a few very basic rules that her Dragonite taught her. Even then, those were very skewed, and more often than not Camille had a taste for the dramatic.

Sure, every girl envisioned what her dream wedding might look like, and Lux was no different--even with her previous circumstances. But the individual pieces were never solid in her mind, and sending her out to find what she wanted was overwhelming to say the least. She could see a small benefit in letting her family plan the whole thing.

Staring through the shop window at some extravagant dress that likely weighed more than she did, she let out a long sigh. This was harder than she thought.]

I think I need a break...

Happy New Year, Union.

[Rise sits in her bedroom at the theater, smiling pleasantly into her Warp Band and waiting for the tea in front of her to cool off enough to drink. In the background, her Gardevoir can be seen taking a brush to a rather put-out looking young Espeon.]

It's been almost a year since that earthquake and the time when we discovered other living humans, and I really...

[She holds a hand up to her head.]

Ooh, sorry. I didn't even celebrate much last night. Anyway, I--owwww...

[She pauses and clutches her head again. In the background, her Pokémon both shoot her a startled look, then duck and cover under the bed. There's a sudden noise and then static from the Warp Band.]

[Action, Union Divine Theater]

[There's a sudden flash of bright light and a sort of musical blast that comes from Rise's room, knocking her door off its hinges and shattering her windows. It doesn't do much damage beyond that, though any Psychic-types in the area are probably going to have a ringing headache for several minutes from the feedback.]

[Video, a few minutes later.]

[The feed turns back on after a few minutes. The bedroom in the background looks disheveled, like someone's desk and linen closet exploded, but the person smiling rather punch-drunk into the camera and the two Pokémon rubbing their heads in the background all appear to be fine. In fact, Rise suddenly looks a good deal more mature, although part of that might just be that the psychic blast destroyed her girly hairdo.]

Heeeey, Haruka, I finally caused as much property damage as you!

[She feels around on her head, generally looking for signs of her appearance changing.]

Wait, all that and all I get is more hair again?
