Nori- "Let me finish the thought train I'm on and I'll come in. It's still dry under this awning though, and it doesn't looke like its doing more than drizzling."
Yue- She lets out a shy giggle, but then looks back to you.
"Aren't... you worried about what the lady told you?"

"Should I be? I mean, it's either a system error, or I don't exist and I'm obviously right here, so it can only be a system error." Yue says with a shrug.

She just nods, and if Yue was more perceptive, she'd maybe recognize the chill that ran down her spine after the words she spoke, but it just must be the autumn chill rain. Gotta be it.
"Hey, can I ask you something Yue? Is... is there a reason I feel really funny around you?"

"Yes, the forest guardian does seem the most likely option. Even if she doesn't remember us, she was quite useful the first time around. We can help her with her obelisk problem again... assuming it is not itself entangled with the anomaly..." Melissa muses over that for a few seconds, then shakes her head. "In any case! I don't believe there's any point to lingering here further. Unless... do you think they're holding the tournament again? Is there a second egg?"

"..." Now that was a good question. Though it would kinda feel a little like cheating to beat up people who were just starting out wouldn't it? Stella was an veteran pokémon trainer with several days of experience and half a badge; so yeah. On the other hand that flying ratata looked pretty cute ...

"Hmmmm...Oh! Maybe it's my Lugia side? That could be it. I've heard Legendaries can have weird and mysterious effects on the world around them." Yue says, casually dropping a bomb shell on Mara's lap like she was talking about the weather...Normal weather at least, the weather yesterday was downright bizarre...Or was that the weather in a few days? Hard to keep track.

Now Nori's a little sorry he didn't think to bring an umbrella... but they'd both know what that would imply and he's not quite sure they're there yet. He doesn't want to push things too hard, after she complained about this timeline's version of him hitting on her. "Sorry if I'm kinda pushy. So far you're the only person not in the group I'm traveling with who remembers anything. I just called my mom and it was pretty surreal."
He scratches the back of his neck. "It's weird, really - I have all my stuff and my Pokémon from before, but I'm pretty sure I'm in the body from this timeline. Apparently I got some sort of operation a few years back... and what's weirder is apparently Doc is the one who did it." He jerks his thumb over his shoulder back at Melissa, then grins. "So, sorry in advance if I dissolve into a swarm of nanobots or something like that."

Mara's eyes go wide.
"You... are one of Lugia's disciples?"

"Actually, I'm...Well, it'd probably be best to show you than try and explain it myself. Come on, follow me." Yue leads Mara out to a secluded area where even her Lugia form would be hidden before transforming. "Whatcha think? Pretty cool, right?"

Mara goes o.o at seeing her new friend turn into a legendary. She falls to her knees, and rubs her cheeks thanks to an increased funny feeling.
"Miss Lugia, why are you showing me this? And why are you calling yourself 'Yue' and down here in Pallet?"

"Because I like you, obviously! As for why I'm calling myself 'Yue', well I obviously can't go around calling myself 'Lugia' in human form, now can I? It rather defeats the purpose you see. And I'm here in Pallet beca/use, well...Ho-oh and I are in the middle of a bit of dispute...Oh! Do you think you can gather up some support for me? It'd really help if I had some more people to help me confront Ho-oh."

Gwen sat around with her new ratty, and it did seem it was time to get going soon. After...whatever just happened, and being in one spot was making her anxious. She also hadn't seen Yue in a minute, and also needed to see the beby. That is until Gwen saw Yue exit with some pink(?) chick. She narrowed her eyes, and clicked her tongue. "Oh. That's how it's gonna be, huh?" Yue was quick to get jelous over whatever Gwen used as a mount, but she was free to chat up strange looking women? "Hmph. It's time to go. If I need to win that gym challenge again, I need to be in Viridian." She tucks her Rattata into her inner jacket pocket, and rolls out the front door.

"I'm going to go check in about that tournament first. There are a number of slight deviations from the original timeline; that may include a different prize." Melissa is also vaguely curious as to how Professor Larch has changed - Nori didn't relay any details about that.

Stella gives the brief glimpse of Yue and then Gwen's expression a somewhat confused look. This seemed like some sort of drama, but she didn't quite have all the pieces to figure it out yet. Hmm. Oh well.
Seeing as science lady was also wandering off Stella hopped down from her chair to follow her. She was also curious about the new professor (and she didn't quite want to be left alone). She gave Nori and his girly friend a wave on the way out.

Nori - "I would prefer if you 'didn't' dissolve into anything. I know that if I let the memories all take over I won't recall why it's terrifying but... It's still terrifying right now."
She picks up her notes and slips through the window.
"And you are about the only one I'd trust to help me re-remember. No offense to... oh. They are all gone."
She looks around.
"Oook, looks like all your friends ditched ya."
Yue- Her eyes go wide again as she realizes she's being recruited by a god.
"I mean if you are showing me that, then it's only fair that I show you this."
Her pink skin starts to change to human pink-ish as she actually transforms into Gwen! Still with Mara's clothes but it's definitely her.
"I'm actually half-ditto, and if you want me to join you, maybe I can use my abilities to help?"
Gwen- You start heading out on route one toward Viridian... again. The drizzling seems to stop shortly after you leave. Now the question is, is she gonna make a b-line or do some more pokemon hunting?
Melissa/Stella- Our scientist and alien girl decide to head to the professor's office and both do indeed notice a change. Physically, she's the same. Same body type, hair color, etc. But her demeanor is very different. Her outfit, while before was a sign of someone who chose something nice but had a stressful life and couldn't upkeep it, it is now perfectly pressed, and revealing a lot more skin than before. Mostly her silky-smooth legs, which are kicked up on the table as she seems to be reading some notes when you both walk in. She looks up, and a big smile crosses her face.
"Well, if it isn't Doctor Macavity herself in my office!"
She gets up and offers a hand for shaking.
"Your reputation proceeds you, doctor. I'll admit it was odd to hear that you were coming down here to join the league? I mean I suppose anyone would maybe want a change of scenery after a situation like yours. I hope you didn't lose too much of your work in the lab fire?"

Stella slowly looked at the professor then the doctor and back again. Yes. This was strange. Back to the doctor. How would she respond? Smile and nod? That was the polite way she had been taught - a most useful trick.

Gwen was fine with the team she had assembled for now. All that mattered was getting back on track. With the rain stopped, she hopped on her Onix, and made her way to Viridian. The others would catch up soon enough, so Gwen would see what the gym situation was.

Yue changes back to human and starts inspecting...Gara? Mwen? Hmmm...Gwara! Yue starts looking over Gwara. "Wow! That's so cool! I can only transform between my Yue and Lugia forms! I'd love to have you aboard! I can use all the help I can get since I'm still not used to my new abilities..." Yue says, suddenly realizing something. "Oh riiiight, I forgot to mention that, didn't I? I'm actually the second generation Lugia...The first entrusted her powers to me just before she...just before she..." Yue tries to says, her eyes welling up with tears. "...Just before she died..."

She blushes as Yue ‘inspects’ her transformed body, but pauses in confusion when Yue brings up what happened.
“Wait, you aren’t Lugia? The real one is dead? That... that’s not possible. I get it, this must be a test!”
She brings out her phone and pulls up an article posted yesterday featuring a sighting of Lugia and Ho-oh and something seemingly upsetting them.
”See, people are still paying attention! Your still special...”

Melissa looks slightly bemused, but shakes the hand willingly enough. A lab fire rather than meddling do-gooders, is it? "Actually, that's why I'm here to see you," she improvises. "You see, I seem to have lost parts of my memory in a scientific accident. I was hoping that you, as a fellow scientist, might be able to help by relating what you know of my doubtlessly illustrious history."
