[The feed begins with a series of snapshots. It starts with images of a war-torn battlefield lined with giant crystals, Team Aqua and Magma grunts and hordes of Pokémon and trainers alike.]

This world isn't safe.

[The images shift. New snapshots appear of Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon, taken from a safe distance above, but distinct in that they are indeed giant, glowing monsters.]

What happened last week is proof of that. You may all be content to enjoy a carefree lifestyle, but if it weren't for divine intervention, life as we know it would have ended with a whimper.

Together, we were able to hold off Team Aqua and Magma's forces, but the battle doesn't end there. If you could make a difference in the protection of this world, would you do it?

[The message ends there. About a half hour later, another text appears on the network, this time from a non-anonymous source.]

So, I think we all learned something valuable from that mess down at Tohjo: Don't summon giant lizards and whales to start the apocalypse. God doesn't like it.

There's a lot I could say. It was a busy few days, but if you look past all the legendaries, the explosions, and those cornball teams, there are two things that stick out to me: the weird power up some of our Pokémon got and the Pokémon god himself.

[Case in point? Here's an image of a Mega Sharpedo getting punched in the nose by a Mega Charizard X.]

So, what do you guys think that power was? Did any of you get a straight answer from Arceus? And how about that fairy type?

By the way, looking for a status report from all remaining members. With so many of us gone, we're gonna have to shuffle the squads. That's also why I sent out a recruitment message.

Yes. Absolutely. I love humanity, and I want it to thrive.

I'm still here, and my house is always open to any of our members. Consider this my report. ...And also, a bonus.

[The bonus is probably the picture of Mega Banette that he sends as an attachment.]

...Did you take a good look at the TM that was in your gift bag?

ANON TEXT

[...you know she will be the most obvious anon but maybe she should at least try]

i think you're speaking my language, mysterious anon!! i would TOTALLY be up for protecting the world!

[preybeforemeals]

[Now this...this is interesting.]

I've seen enough of this world to suspect there's another threat we should be aware of in Goldenrod City. Am I wrong?

[Text, responding to anon]

[theotherother]

[Kaine doesn't have the slightest clue how to anonymous, so he's not even trying.]

Let's say I want to help. Then what?

[His first thought is basically some sort of Pokemon Avengers, but there's no way that's right.]

[fauxtographs]

Signing in!

[And thank goodness for text - far less stressful than having to make sure she isn't overheard!]

How are you holding up after that big battle, Riku? I'm quite alright, myself. I don't think I've fought so many people at once in a long time!

text;

[wing_attack]

Yes. I would and I will. I've been a part of fighting insane odds before. Why stop just because I'm in a new world?

[And then a bit later, responding to the non-anon text.]

I didn't get a straight answer, but I didn't really ask. I just got that Arceus likes Pokepuffs.

[grapeeater]

I don't think I'm the right person to try to protect a world when I can't even protect anyone in my own.

I'm still here, Riku. Thanks for the help back there, by the way.

As for Arceus, I did get the opportunity to talk to him but he didn't really tell me anything important. I asked if he was the reason why we were brought to this world but he refused to answer. Didn't think it would be a good idea to press further.

[paopuprincess]

[Looks like someone is recruiting. Does Riku need his number two?]

Try being a little more dramatic, I don't think you scared them enough.

You know I ain't going anywhere. Let me know if you need any help out there.

Atsuro here, still around as long as this world, PokeGod or whatever wants me. I can provide any support, either in battle or technological, if you need it.

Seems like I got lucked out and didn't experience whatever you guys saw. So I've been stuck dealing with the quakes and the aftermaths.

But it's pretty interesting to see two confirmation: Pokemon god (as in of all creation, or a certain domain?) and the fairy type, which means accounting for it in type advantages/disadvantages.

Twilight checking in, Commander. Nice recruitment message, by the way.

I don't know how much help I would be defending the world, but I can't just stand back and do nothing, either. Not if the world is potentially in danger.

I'd like to live a normal life. Wouldn't it be nice if I could just live here, traveling and enjoying all this world to offer? Maybe I could come to terms with some things I'm still struggling with.

But... I, however against my will, got the chance to save my home from something horrible before I arrived here. I didn't know what I was really doing, however, and by the time I understood... everything from how to use it to what was really happening...

Everything was gone.

I don't want anything like what happened to my home to happen here. So I guess in response to your question... I would. I don't exactly want to, but that's part of what it means to live. Sometimes you do things you don't want to do, but that you need to do.

Is this a set up for something, or are you just aiming to make us all think?

I'm still around. Hell of a battle, wasn't it?

[You can almost hear him grinning right now. FIGHTS. c:]

Arceus... that's the giant llama, right? I didn't get much out of it when I talked to it, but uhhh, I did have a Pokemon that went through one of those weird transformations. Don't ask me what the hell happened there. I thought somebody'd dropped a freaking bomb on him when I saw him light up like that.

[And on that note, here, have an attached picture of Mega Altaria, taken at the insistence of the Altaria himself. That sure is a whole lot of fluff.]
