@MechonRaptor @Sho Minazuki So, just to clarify so I don't overstep my boundaries, how much control do regular PCs have? Like, can I encounter a Pokemon or make an event by myself, or do I have to hinthint winkwink to a GM?

Mako affirmed their mutual struggles, though Sato couldn't help but frown as Mako brought up his ability to use Debilitate, which seemed exceptionally useful for one-on-one fighting. Sato lacked any such trickery in his arsenal. Anyone else could do what he does; magic and hitting things is in no short supply in the Investigation team. Though, the weight of his bow reminded him of one thing: he had more range than the others did. Besides the obvious arrow thing, a lot the others often simultaneously fought with their personas, combing their attacks. Chronos was more of a knight of his command, in a way, while he could focus on his own safety and maneuvers... Maybe he was over-thinking it wrong, though.
"You be safe yourself. Lack of experience is no excuse for carelessness." Sato said, only able to look Mako in the eyes because Mako himself was looking to the floor. Taking a breath, Sato grabbed Mako's wrist, surprising himself with such a bold move. "Nobody is going to die today, and especially not you..." Sato immediately turned heel and walked briskly away, glad he could remain composure until a cool exit. That was a total senpai move.
Sato walked back over to Rui, and in a quick moment everyone was ready to proceed into presumably the final area of the dungeon. The gaudy signs and lights suddenly faded behind them as they stepped onto the veranda, leaving a shadow of the team cast onto the stairs before them. A voice came from up them, though, so they had little other option to head up. As they climbed the stairs, Sato could only try not to notice the progressively worsening interior design. While the lighting was a bit duller, the decorations were only getting more obnoxious and lewd. He was trying to take the mission seriously and keep an eye out for traps or shadows, but the mysteriously changing images of girls naked (and related activities?) littered the walls. Not that Sato minded, but he didn't exactly not mind either...
Thankfully, once they got to the top, everything appeared normal again, and Sato mentally prepped himself for another edgy session. While it was never quick as bad as his own due to the lack of context and relevance, baring witness to all the built up troubles and emotions of a stranger was certainly something. Though, as Sato set foot into the final room, it appeared as though the victim was already in mid-conversation with her shadow. The blonde hair felt weirdly familiar, but that was hardly important; whoever this girl was, she was already visibly agitated and there was no way this was gonna end with a peaceful resolution.
Sato felt a weird nausea inside of himself as the shadow made a point of the shame of sexuality the girl had. He couldn't quite relate with the other father part in general, but he could sympathize with her regardless. Though, again, not that sympathy really mattered, because it was almost palpable when the girl finally snapped.
She brandished a katana on the shadow, and with the typical "You're not me!" uttered, the shadow started laughing. The form of it started contorting and warping in an unreal fashion, the features turning to black as it morphed into a stronger form. That moment of stillness hit, and suddenly a longsword swung out from the amorphous darkness. From the shadows emerged a shogun figure, cradling a woman in its free arm. The contrast between the demonic features and the almost saintly femininity was irking, to say the least. The girl's attack on the shadow, of course, was a complete an utter failure as her weapon literally didn't even touch it despite a direct blow.
The shadow swung its sword at her, but Rui quickly blocked it with Askr, signalling the start of the real fight. The entire team suddenly moved into combat position, the girl being dragged into safely at the same time. Sato almost felt cocky with their numbers against one shadow, but that feeling was quickly stopped when he noticed shadows emerging from the side walls, forming into a set of three knights. There was no gauging any of the shadows' strength, so Sato could only hope in his friends' abilities to cover anyone who needs it. Rui quickly belted out his orders to Sato and the others, their team being delegated to deal with the big bad itself. Akane and Rui of course took the front-line, while Kotori was to keep an eye on the entire squad. Sato, of course, was best suited for his task of slinging spells and maybe some magic arrows for good measure.
Everyone formed a circle with the girl in the middle. There were attacks coming from every direction, and Sato couldn't but steal glances at Mako as Chronos was summoning blasts of winds when the time was right. Despite his previous confidence he exuded about the whole no-causalities thing, this entire dungeon wasn't normal, and this shadow probably wasn't anything usual either. The best he could do was stay out of harms way for his and Kotori's sake, keep an eye out for surprises, and dish out all the spells he could as one of the only dedicated black mages of sort.

Alrighty, posted. Awkwardly literally dragging us onto Route 13, so I apologize if either of you wanted to make any stops beforehand.
Let's go Route 13! ヽ( `д´*)ノ
Let's go Route 13! ヽ( `д´*)ノ
Novis Shannon | @Beryllium PokeLab
"Thanks for lettin' me tag along," Novis said, "I bet Nier'll love the company more than me, though."
The two strangers seemed to be pretty chill with his intrusion into the group, so Novis promptly followed them out from the registration lines and over to the entrance of the lab once they were done. With all of that done, all that was left for the group was to decide where to go from Beryllium City, their options being routes to each cardinal direction. Novis had, of course, planned to head West to Devarda Town, but to get there they'd either have to trek around or go through the Zamak Ruins. The other two seemed pretty down for going in a mysterious place like that, so that was probably going to be a plan.
As Aiden pulled out his PokeDex's map, Novis walked over to him and rested his arm on Aiden's shoulder. Peering at the map, it indeed seemed as good a place to start as any, maybe even the best. Closest thing to Beryllium City. "We can get to Devarda Town through there," Novis said, tracing the routes with his finger. "If we're all doing League, we should leave Stellite City for last, so Ormolu City is probably the best bet after we beat the Gym in Devarda..."
"Ehh, we'll decide when we get there!" With that hastily almost-planned route, Novis suddenly bolted forward, his hand falling to Aiden's wrist and practically dragging the boy away. Nier let out a bark, directed at both the trainers and their Pokemon, as he chased close behind Novis. Stumbling out onto the street, it only took a few moments of figuring out where the sun was before he started off West, leaving little time for Aiden and Roxy to catch up. But, after running away a fair bit, Novis suddenly skidded to a stop and started walking backwards so he could talk to his two new companions better.
"I just realized, I never actually got your guys' names!" Novis laughed, running a hand through his dyed hair as they walked together to Route 13. "Got a bit too excited, I guess."

To get started on your journey, just make a post transitioning onto your routes.
@Deos Morran Do you wanna post next? Or should I?
Novis Shannon | @Healing Station
"Well yeah, I'm not 'new' either. I've raised Pokemon for years now." Novis said, drawing out the words as if anyone cared about his trainer resume. "I'm for the League, personally. Would've signed up back home but you know how it is, what with all the updates and crap."
As he was talking, Nov couldn't help but notice the Gible break out of its trainer's arms with a shark grin and a yell of some sorts. He tried to hold composure, but when it started crying out by his feet, all bets were off snd Nov practically threw his Growlithe at it. Nier, however, was much more interested in meeting the Gible. It was rare he ever got a chance to smell a dragon-type, after all. They seemed to like to eachother, for the most part, based on the friendly yaps and playful hops from Nier. Novis just watched from a decidedly safe distance, before the stranger suddenly remembered that he hadn't gotten his registration done yet, so Novis and the other girl followed behind him as they went to finish up registration. Nier tagged along close behind Novis but kept a close eye on the Gible.
As they were waiting in the thankfully now much shorter lines for registration, Novis continued the conversation. "I'm Novis, by the way. So, you're doing League and contests? Everyone I've talked to today said that. Kinda feel like I should try to, but I don't got much of a 'brand'..." He said, sliding his hands into his pockets. He could feel the weight of his backpack weighing on one shoulder, a sudden sentiment of what was to come after he left Berlyium City. Now that practically everyone in the building had registered for what they wanted, there was little else to do but what any individual wanted.
"Say..." Novis suddenly locked eyes with the stranger, giving a confident grin. "Which way you two heading after this? I'm heading West, but it'd be way smoother a trip with some buddies on the way, y'know?"

The spot to replace Bornlucky will be immediately taken by Sen in a few days from now if she doesn't chime in. Naturally, they can still participate as a player.
Wait, would I be taking over as a contest gm or a full gm if she doesn't show?
Which leads me to one last thing, who wants to be a Contest-related GM?
If need be, I'd be willing to help out with that since it's only for when a contest is going on. Hmu if you need me.
I will also note one thing. Player or GM, you are allowed to submit NPCs to meet along the journey, it will be the GM's responsibility to use them correctly too.
Okay real talk time, who here actually wants to see the four Sylveon Sisters?
West
(no one has yet to claim)
Me, Shadeflare, and Deos will go West.
If Shade and Sen don't disagree I'll happily go West to the Zamak Ruins.
If nobody else is going West, then I see no reason we shouldn't. Plus it'd be kinda neat there too I guess.
