I don't own either Pokemon or Worm.
Worm is the property of Wildbow.
Pokemon belongs to Game Freak and Nintendo.
None of this belongs to me, I'm just writing in this sandbox for my own amusement and the amusement of others.

So, this thread here is the result of a bored author being asked a hypothetical question, in a Discord, with a bunch of other people.
Shoutouts to @eonmoon for the original idea, and the rest of the Taylor Varga Discord for putting up with the insanity of our working discussion while we plotted this stuff.
Basically, this runs on a combination of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon rules, like turns and the idea of announcing moves before use, as well as talking, and the anime, so no move limit.
Now, confusion may commence!
Things may be adorable and/or funny, so please read with caution.
Now, a bunch of explainy bits for people who don't know what's going on below, all nested in these spoiler tags. Good luck, have fun.
Essentially, the Pokemon world works on weird physics. Luckily a lot of that isn't particularly relevant to this story, but I think it's best to explain.
There's more than 800 species of Pokemon, a number which keeps climbing. Each Pokemon has either one or two types, abilities- one or two, plus a 'hidden' ability- and movesets. In the games, a Pokemon can only know up to four moves, but that's a rule I'm not using. There's stats, Physical and Special; a Physical move uses Physical Attack and Physical Defense, while a Special move uses Special Attack and Defense. Speed determines turn order, or in this case movement speed, and HP is how many attacks a Pokemon can take before fainting.
In Mystery Dungeon, Pokemon explore these suddenly appearing Dungeons. The layout is different every time, and they get jobs to do things, like explore, rescue Pokemon, find or deliver items, and escort, to name a few.
For the sake of your sanity, you might want to look up a type matchup chart, just to help out, though I'm not using a lot of the stuff in there. We are, after all, elsewhere.

Shadow is a Vulpix, making her a pure Fire type, with the ability Flash Fire, which makes her immune to fire and gives her a small stat boost.
Eon is a Ninetales, the evolved form of Vulpix. He's also pure fire type with Flash Fire. Eon's special in that he's a shiny Ninetales, meaning that he has a different colour scheme to a normal one- grey fur instead of gold, with blue tail tips instead of orange.

The Wormverse is a mess. There's a bunch of superheroes and villains, called Parahumans, who get their powers in something called a Trigger Event. A person's Trigger is normally an extremely traumatic, one bad day, though they can be extended events that cause a person to collapse. This gives them powers, which then results in supers running about.
Every three months, one of three creatures, called Endbringers, attack and wreck a city, causing hundreds of deaths each attack. The approximate death rates for Capes- aka Parahumans- that fight back is one in four.
There's the PRT- Parahuman Response Team- that has a bunch of Capes and try to keep the peace. The Protectorate are over 18, the Wards are under it. The PRT are all normals who oversee the Protectorate and the Wards.
We're in Brockton Bay, which has a lot of Capes for the area, and not enough heroes to fight all the villains.
It's probably recommended that you go look stuff up if you get confused, I'm not too sure I've done it justice, but that should be all you need to start out reading.

Behemoth is the biggest, and the first to have shown up in 1992. He's radioactive, extremely tough, and has a kill field. He's a fairly slow dynakinetic, making him able to take attacks well.
The second to appear and second smallest, he's fast and a macro hydrokinetic- he can sense the water in people. His attacks are normally coastal, bring a lot of rain, and tend to lead to tsunamis. He can create a water echo, which acts as armour, and is ridiculously powerful. He sank both Kyushu and Newfoundland during his attacks.
The third, the smallest, and probably the scariest, she looks like a sepharim, and is a precognative- she see's the future, and tends to set up plots months or years in advance. People who spend too long near her 'song', a scream she uses to control people, become 'Ziz bombs', people who are normally used for her plots. Anywhere she goes where her attacks last long enough get quarantined.
Cape powers fall into twelve classifications, and can fit more than one.
Mover; superspeed, flight, teleportation, and other sorts of inhuman mobility.
Shaker; the ability to manipulate surroundings in some way.
Brute; more strength, more toughness, or both, as well as regeneration.
Breaker; the user gets a different state, normally one that changes how physics works on them.
Master; typical controller. Could be a people Master, a Master of some kind of animal, or could create projections as minions.
Tinker; creates Tinkertech, which is impossible to be understood by pretty much anyone else, and is normally beyond human capability.
Blaster; ranged attacks, like laser beams.
Thinker; improved mental functions. They might think quicker, have better senses, enhanced perception, precognition in various forms, and more.
Striker; requires touch or close contact.
Changer; changes the users body to another shape, material, or an organism that might not exist outside of the power.
Trump; powers relating to powers- copying, granting, altering or removing, mainly.
Stranger; stealth and deception, like invisibility or a perception filter, or a forget-me field.

Also, mild to heavy spoiler warnings for both Pokemon Mystery Dungeon; Blue Rescue Team, PMD; Explorers of Sky, and Worm, as is to be expected for this sort of stuff.

Chapter 1- Arrival
- Location
- England, Smugsville.
A hoop appeared in mid-air, purple mist rippling within. A small red and white fox jumped out, looking around with intrigue in its brown eyes, while a taller white fox followed it, looking mildly exasperated and amused in equal doses.
"This looks cool!" The little fox said, in a feminine voice. "Thanks, Hoopla!"
"Hoopa, Shadow." The elder one groaned. "Hoopa."
"Hoopla, Hoopa, it's the same thing. He doesn't mind." Shadow grinned as the ring-portal closed. The little purple scarf around her neck fluttered slightly along her back as she began running around in circles, desperate to sniff at everything. "This is really cool, though, Eon! Really cool!"
"You've said, Shadow." Eon sighed, twitching his tails. Little blue spots shimmered at the end as he began moving after her. "Now, what do you want to do?"
"Dunno." She said, crouching. Making a careful leap, she landed on top of a nearby dumpster, using it as a vantage point to look around. "Whadda you want?"
Eon sighed again. This'll be a long trip. With some careful movements of his own, the Ninetales ended up next to the young Vulpix, looking about them himself. "We should probably just look around this city we're in first."
"Alright!" Making another jump, she found herself caught in mid-air by a pink glow.
"Shadow." Eon sighed again. "Illusions, remember?"
"Oops." She blushed slightly. "Sorry." Waving his tails, the pair of vulpines rippled, replaced by a girl in a dress and leggings, and a boy with jeans and a t-shirt. With a frown, Shadow focused her own budding powers, making a hat and dropping it on her head. "Now c'mon! I wanna see what's going on here!"
"Just don't get lost, Shadow." The older fox said, as the younger ran off through an alleyway. "Silly kit…"
"Ooh!" Shadow perked up slightly. "I think there's something happening over there!"
"Where?" Eon looked sideways at her, glad she'd finally slowed down. It's like she's on a permanent sugar rush…
"Thataway, I think." She hummed, pointing with one hand in the vague direction of a slum. "I can feel it." Nodding, Eon guided the female towards another alley, and the illusion of two humans shattered.
"Stay still." He told her, waving his tails again. Light shimmered along both their furs for a moment, then the fox coughed. "Invisible now. Got it down a bit ago."
"Sweet!" The Vulpix grinned widely. "C'mon, I wanna go see what I'm feeling!" The smaller fox ran ahead, jumping lithely over bins in the way, while the larger evolved form made his way along more carefully and slowly, sometimes landing on the bins as he went over them.
The little fox's nose twitched, and Eon frowned. "Feels like fire."
"Yeah!" She agreed. "That's what I thought, but I wasn't too sure."
"'s fire." The Ninetales nodded. "Good job, pix."
"Thanks!" For a moment, she was happy to sit there and absorb the praise, then she frowned. "Should we go try and help? Someone might get hurt." Eon smiled at her.
"Be careful, Shadow." He told her. "Don't get hurt."
"M'kay!" She bounced quickly off and out of the alleyway, then froze and stared. "Whoa. Bugs."
"Hm?" Eon made his way over to her, peering over her head. "Hm. That's a lotta bugs."
"Should we burn them?" Shadow asked, twisting her head. "They're stinging at the fire dragon." She frowned further, her scarf rippling. "Is it a Charizard?"
"No." He replied. "Not a Charizard. They're not around here, remember." The Ninetales thought for a moment, then sniffed. "Think there's more people here."
"Oh!" Shadow perked up. "I'll go ask them what's happening!"
"Shadow-!" Eon called, feeling the invisibility break as she scrambled up a wall with her claws. "Oh, for…" He groaned.
"Bug girl's not doing too well." Alec commented. "Think we should help?"
"She is defending us, from what Tattletale said." Brian nodded. "Bitch, get your dogs-"
"Hi!"
"Ready?" He trailed off, all four of them whirling around to face the new arrival-
"What?" Lisa said.
"Hi?" The small red fox said again, a little more unsurely. She pawed at her purple scarf. "You can understand me, right? Hoopla said you would, but he's tricky."
"No, we understand you." Brian answered, apparently automatically, while the others gaped.
"Oh, good!" She grinned widely. "So, hi! Mind telling me what's going on down there?" Lisa blinked.
Calls herself a vulpix.
Vulpix out-of-context, unknown.
Came from elsewhere.
Hoopla out-of-context, unknown.
Hoopla likely a nickname; tone and inflection.
'Hoopla' brought her here.
Curious; saw fight below, wants to help.
Doesn't want to join in without knowing what's happening.
Vulpix-
Lisa winced as her power errored out on her.
"Bug girl down there picked a fight with Lung," Alec told her, waving towards the ground. "No idea why, and she's not doing too hot."
"Why not?" The Vulpix asked. "There's plenty of fire down there- oh, that was a pun, wasn't it?" Her tone suddenly showed understanding. "I see. My friend does a lot of those." The red fox pattered over to them, the Undersiders drawing back as she did, to look over the edge. "So, the Charizard down there's a bad guy?"
"Yes?" Brian tried, sounding confused.
Charizard is another creature like her.
She knows some, is familiar with it.
Charizard-
Again, Lisa's power cut out, and the Vulpix nodded.
"Alright, good." Taking the end of her scarf in her mouth, she pulled, undoing it, then throwing it towards Lisa in a little pink grip. The Thinker automatically caught it, and the vulpine creature crouched. "Hold onto that for me, please? It's kinda important to me." Absently, Lisa nodded, and she grinned, widely and fanged-ly, in response. "Nice." A jump later, and the female fox was on the ground between Lung and the new Cape, six tails billowing out behind her. "Hey, Charizard guy!"
The audacity of the shout, along with the surprise of a two-foot tall fox appearing from the rooftops and yelling at him, made Lung pause, incredulous, while the bug girl just froze. "Hi! Please stop being mean to Ms Bug Lady, for me? It's not very nice to try and set someone on fire, even if they'll get better after it." The innocence and childishness of the tone made Lisa gape.
Lung growled out something unintelligible, making the Vulpix cock her head. "Sorry, Mr Charizard guy, but I didn't understand that. Which is weird, since I should understand you even if most the human-people don't." A long, drawn-out sigh made Lisa look automatically to the side, completely out of both awe and confusion from the ongoing situation, and watch the three and a half feet tall white-grey fox join them at the edge of the roof.
"Pix, he's not a Charizard." The male called down, making them all look towards him. "You won't understand him anyway."
"Ooooh…" The Vulpix said slowly. "That makes sense. Alright. Hey, Ms Bug Lady?" She continued, turning to the new Cape. "Could you get away from here a bit, please? I don't want you to get hurt."
"Just a minute." Flexing his tails, the new arrival overrode whatever the insect controller was about to say, his eyes glowing the same light pink the scarf had. The same glow surrounded the Cape, lifting her slowly into the air. She squeaked, then went perfectly still as they all watched her float over to the rooftop, being placed gently next to them. "There we go."
"Who are you?" Lisa finally asked, breaking through her confused daze.
"Hm? Oh, sorry. Eon, and the little vixen is Shadow." He greeted them, offering her a paw like a dog would. The feeling of unreality returning, she shook it, and he grinned. "Sorry about her, she's enthusiastic." The dry tone made her chuckle, and the new Cape did the same, before wincing. "You ok?"
"Just a few burns." She shrugged slightly. "I'll be fine." Eon looked at her sceptically, then looked back at a crash from the group.
Shadow landed lightly a few feet from a thrown dumpster, and turned her head to look at it. "Um, I don't think that's allowed, Mr Dragon Guy. I don't think that's a move, anyway." She cocked her head again. "Then again, I think Hoopla-"
"Hoopa!" Eon shouted, in the tone of someone who didn't know why they were bothering.
Lisa knew it quite well, after dealing with Alec for over a year.
"-Said you human types work on weird battle rules." Shadow continued, completely ignoring her companion. "So I guess it's ok." Lung roared, breathing fire across the little fox. Some of the Undersiders gasped in shock, and the bugs around the area buzzed violently, until the red flames died down.
"Hey!" Shadow yelled. "That's a bit mean. Anyway, thanks for that. I guess I can forgive you for being rude if you're gonna boost me." She twitched. "Wonder if you have Flash Fire as well?" Lisa gaped, while Eon sighed again.
"Shadow, they don't have any of the same battle rules as we do." He told her. "No turns, no announcements, no Moves and no Abilities." While Lisa tried to figure out why she could hear capitals on some of those words, Shadow looked up.
"That's a Move, though." She pointed. "Or is it just something that looks like a Move?"
"It just looks like one, Shadow." Eon said. "And you don't need to do announcements here either."
"Really?" Lisa blinked, shaking her head to get rid of the growing headache- one that, for once, had very little to do with her powers.
I can't tell if it's the fire, or her eyes are actually sparkling…
"Really. We do it at home for courtesy." Eon shrugged, lying down in a ripple of white fur and long tails. "No need here."
"Awesome." The word rumbled across the area as Shadow turned back, crouching slightly as if she were about to lunge. "Alright, Mr Dragon Guy, let's go!"
"This looks cool!" The little fox said, in a feminine voice. "Thanks, Hoopla!"
"Hoopa, Shadow." The elder one groaned. "Hoopa."
"Hoopla, Hoopa, it's the same thing. He doesn't mind." Shadow grinned as the ring-portal closed. The little purple scarf around her neck fluttered slightly along her back as she began running around in circles, desperate to sniff at everything. "This is really cool, though, Eon! Really cool!"
"You've said, Shadow." Eon sighed, twitching his tails. Little blue spots shimmered at the end as he began moving after her. "Now, what do you want to do?"
"Dunno." She said, crouching. Making a careful leap, she landed on top of a nearby dumpster, using it as a vantage point to look around. "Whadda you want?"

Oh, hi there, joke I was expecting. I get the feeling that it'll be coming up here a lot, won't it. Ah well, it's topical.
not at all what i was expecting but frankly all the better for it so this is a pokemm.... yea yea just now read the url rather than the text in your sig (and after clicking on said link i skipped the disclaimer)
anyways when i first saw the link in your sig i was think perhaps a sonic/ben10/worm cross over (cause if i recall right shadow is a character in sonic, eon is a villan in ben10 and worm is worm)
but this is better than any idea i had that could come from those two added to worm ... so all that said i'm watching hoping for more!

Readers are confused because he is not rooting for the lizard in the fight.
Does this mean Lisa and Alec are going to be Team Rocket?

It's actually somewhat close to how Lisa' power canonically is written rather than being google fact machine.
Kudos for that. I mean, it's still not quite a match for canon, but you're in the top 5% of worm fic already.

Well, there goes the neighborhood. I almost feel bad for lung.
There is one thing that's bothering me.
Because, for example, even if her power directly analyses nearby phenomena(light, sound, texture, etc) without utilising Tattletale's senses and is immune to the translation effect - it shouldn't have anywhere near enough information to conclude that this is a Vulpix instead of Pixvul, Vulpixvul or any other combination - or that Vulpix isn't how the language of this creature is called, or that it wasn't designed that way for some reason by a biotinker who made her, or that it means something else altogether or doesn't mean anything.
Even if pokemon speak here via repeating parts of the name of their species and their speech is then somethow made directly understandable by humans via Hoopa/travel method/other shenanigans when the actual sounds remain pokemon speech - how can Tattletale's power come to a conclusion that "Vulpix" is a descriptor for this strange creature, that it comes from some mysterious elsewhere(what is this elsewhere?) and that it isn't a Case 53 or a biotinker creation(by this "Hoopla", maybe), but a Vulpix with capital "V"?

Thanks. I will say though, this is mildly amusing to me, since I never really read canon. Started, but at this point my brother's become a screening board to make sure things don't go too wrong.
Yeah, fair enough. I'll make some changes to that scene later, I think.
Please do, it should be pretty funny.
Actually, open season! Go ahead and tag in whenever, this is basically just snippets in no real order anyway after this point.

I'm... not very familiar with Pokemon except as a fanfic setting.
But this is funny enough that I'm watching anyway.

Chapter 2- Versus Lung

Shadow grinned, watching the larger form carefully. Despite being so much younger than Eon was, she'd still done a fair bit of her own hunting during Dungeon runs, whether it was just exploration or Rescue missions, or even the rare missions where they ended up fighting some kind of boss- like with Hoopla, she recalled with amusement, before shaking herself, no, focus!- so she was perfectly used to evaluating a target.
Right then. Big dragon, lots of times my size. Going to be difficult to fight head on, kinda like Dialga, but I'm smaller than him, so I can use that. Looks like a dragon, but he's on fire... wait, Eon said that they don't have the same rules here, so they probably don't have types either, right? She sniffed the air curiously. Then again, he's on fire. Pretty sure he's immune to fire, then. Darn, that's bad, I do a lot of fire stuff. Least I'm not a one-trick foxy, so let's try some other things, eh? A vague plan in mind, she tilted her head carefully to the side, making her eyes go wide, and started her attack.
"Mr Dragon Guy, why're you being so mean?" She said, pouting. "I mean, I haven't done anything to you, so why'd you want to fight?" The face of the angry dragon softened slightly, so she powered up her attack. "And Ms Bug Lady didn't mean to hurt you too bad. You must have startled her. Makes sense; dragons are super cool and scary, and a dragon on fire is, like, double the coolness! But it is kinda scary too, I guess, especially to someone who can still be hurt by fire. But you really didn't need to try hurting her really bad, though. That'd be mean, and she might've gotten really hurt." The dragon leaned down slightly, looking a lot calmer, and she started gently wagging her tails. "And I'm sorry if I've annoyed you at all, Mr Dragon Guy. I really didn't mean too, I promise! I just saw that Ms Bug Lady was in trouble, and I thought I should probably help her before someone got really hurt." The Cape grumbled something, so Shadow fired off a Captivate as well just to try and slow him down. "Are you alright now? Are we ok now? I'm sorry..."
Quietly, Shadow thought she could hear Eon chuckling in the background, and almost smirked. Still got it, ya old fox! Now, the final bit... Her fur rippled a little from a phantom breeze, and her eyes began to glow a gentle white.
"I mean, if we're ok, I guess you can stop being so mad now, right? You have somewhere else you can go to, yeah? So would you like to go there?" Looking her opponent in the eyes- huh, has he shrunk a bit? Weird- she focused her attack further. "Or I suppose you could just go to sleep now, and take a rest. No-one else is gonna cause trouble for you, and I'm not gonna get hurt if you do, so you can just take a rest. That makes sense, right?" She widened her eyes and waved her tails again, both Captivate and Tail Whip taking effect again. To muddle to waters a bit- heh, waters with a fire guy. Bit, what's the word, contra-dic-tory?- her eyes flickered again as she used Confuse Ray. He flinched slightly as the yellow dots hit him, his eyes going vague, and she used Hypnosis again. This time, the dragon wavered, the fire flickered as he swayed, then Shadow was forced to jump backwards as he fell forward, snoring before he impacted the ground. He bounced slightly, and she winced before realising the scales covering him had taken the impact so he didn't feel it. The fire around him began to disappear and he began shrinking slowly, making her nod. Turning as she heard a patter of claws on concrete, she grinned toothily at Eon, who was prowling his way slowly towards the two of them.
Stepping around the smaller fox, the white Ninetales inched forwards, sniffing at the dragonic prey. Nodding once towards her, Eon indicated away with his tail. Both of them padded away from the sleeping enemy, back towards the alley where they'd come in from, and Shadow raised an eyebrow to see the rest of the group from the rooftop leaning against various walls in differing states of shock and awe.
"Good job, little vixen." He nodded, seeming amused. "No damage at all, which is a plus." Shadow giggled.
"He wasn't that bad, once I knew what I was doing." She replied, keeping her voice calm and level so she didn't accidentally wake her former opponent. "Nowhere near as bad as Dialga was. And nothing like that little mishap with Wigglytuff." Eon flinched harshly, unconsciously flicking his tails in an uncomfortable manner.
"Pix, nothing is like that mishap with Wigglytuff. Not even Arceus himself showing up would be like it." He said grumpily. She giggled, making him glare at her a little before lightening up. "Still, why didn't you use Imprison? I know you know it."
"Because I remembered that you said there's different rules here, so I didn't know if Imprison would stop him using his fire like it should. They don't have Moves, after all." Shadow watched Eon raise an eyebrow, nodding approvingly.
"Very good."
"Hey, it's not just because of you we got that Hyper Rank, y'know." She grinned. "Actually, speaking of that, can I have my scarf back, please?" The blonde girl she'd given it to nodded absently, still staring at the sleeping dragon.
"I'm sorry, but what did you do?" She asked, as Eon helped her tie her scarf again and made sure the badge was properly on display. "My power's getting nothing out of this."
"Your power?"
"Cape, Parahuman, whichever." She added. "Superpowers. I make connections, but right now I'm getting… basically static, from Lung."
"Lung?" Shadow cocked her head.
"Capes have names for in costume, and it's considered a very bad thing to use someone's real name while they're in costume, or vice versa." The blonde explained. "They're called the Unwritten Rules, and they're something you might want to look up sometime."
"Huh. Interesting." Eon murmured, lowly enough so that Shadow barely heard him.
"I used some of my Moves on him." Shadow explained in return, looking backwards at the slumbering Cape. "Baby-Doll Eyes, which lowers Attack, Tail Whip to lower Defence, Captivate lowers Special Attack, then Confuse Ray and Hypnosis, which Confused him and put him to sleep."
"Why do I hear capitals there?"
"Because they're stats." Eon continued, sitting on his haunches and sweeping his tails around his legs. "Attack and Special Attack govern the outgoing effectiveness of Physical and Special Moves respectively- for example, something like a Tackle would be Physical, while Flamethrower is Special- and Defence and Special Defence deal with incoming attacks of the same type. If Shadow here was to Tackle me, then her Attack would go against my Defence, for instance, and the damage I took would depend on the outcomes of that."
"Interesting…" The blonde mused. "And 'Confused'?"
"Pretty much what it suggests." The white Ninetails said. "It causes an enemy to act strangely, misinterpreting orders and sometimes injuring themselves because they were distracted part way through an attack."
"I think I want to talk to the two of you again sometime." She decided, after a moment's pause. "This sounds incredibly interesting."
"I'd like that." Shadow smiled. "Oh! Actually, what's your names? You know mine, and Eon's, after all."
"I'm Tattletale," the girl replied, with a vulpine smile both fox Pokemon matched. "That's Grue, our leader, that's Regent, and the girl at the back is Bitch." They turned their heads sharply to look at her. "It's just what she prefers. The PRT tries to call her Hellhound, but her name's Bitch." Slowly, Eon nodded.
"And her?" He pressed, pointing at the bug user. Said Cape twitched, seeming embarrassed at being singled out.
"Ah, um, I don't have a name." She told him. "First night out." Shadow's eyebrow rose.
"Wow. Who thinks to fight a dragon on their first night? Even our first exploration was pretty low rank."
"Our first exploration was an E Rank, in a forest, pix." Eon deadpanned. "Of course it was easy for a pair of Fire types."
"Neh." She stuck her tongue out at her partner, who sighed. "Anyway, what about… Illumise?
"I-llu-me-say."
"I-llu-mys." Shadow retorted. "No distracting me. Or Masquerain? Or Vespiquen, or Vivillon? Maybe Genesect?"
"Pardon?" Tattletale and the girl chorused. Eon sighed.
"All of them were different 'mons we're familiar with." Waving one of his tails like a brush, the air rippled, and pictures of the different Pokemon Shadow had suggested appeared there. "All Bug types, though Genesect is what's called a Legendary. They're all really powerful."
"Ah- maybe not that, then." She winced.
"Vespiquen could be good for you, though." Eon gave, making the mentioned Pokemon float forward slightly. "Female only, and they direct a hive of Combee, the pre-evolved form." A pair of Combee appeared as well. "The left is Male, and the Females have that red mark to identify them."
"And no-one would mind?" Shadow snorted.
"We've got a Vespiquen on call as part of the team backup." She told her. "She'd probably take it as a complement that you chose to use her name as your own."
"I- thank you, then. I'll think about it." The possibly-newly-named Cape smiled behind her mask, and Eon nodded in return.
"No worries. Now, Shadow," the younger fox looked over at him as the illusions vanished. "Come on, it's time we got going. Still need to set up a base, after all."
"Yup yup!" She bounced, jumping on the spot. "Lead the way, leader! Bye, you guys! And girls!" Eon rolled his eyes, standing and turning in a sweeping movement. "Seeya again sometime!" Both of them padded off, turning into a nearby alleyway and stalking down it.
Flicking his tails, Eon set up the invisibility illusion again, looking at his teammate.
"What do you think?"
"They're odd." She replied promptly, trotting to keep up with him. "That Tattletale girl reminds me a bit of that annoying Alakazam we met ages ago."
"She did have a very smug air, yes." Eon nodded. "But I mean about them as a whole."
"I think the bug girl would be a really good Rescue team member." Shadow began. "She's got the right sort of air for it, and fighting a dragon takes a lot of guts."
"Rather like someone else I know." He smirked, looking slyly at his partner, who pouted.
"Look, not my fault the silly Druddigon was mad…" She grouched.
"I wasn't implying such a thing. Now, the other team?"
"I don't think they're a Rescue team, or really good guys at all. I don't think they're bad, not like those meanies in Team Meanies, but they aren't good guys either." Shadow decided, after a moment's pause. "Dunno why, though."
"Interesting." Eon frowned, then adjusted the illusion slightly as they went onto a main street. "We'll have to see if we can speak to that Tattletale girl again soon, then."
"Alright. Hey, can we try and find the bug girl too?" Shadow asked, enthusiastic. "I liked the feel of her."
"Ok, ok." He smiled slightly through his sigh. "After we have a base set up. Can't be a Rescue team without a base, after all."
"Nope!" Shadow ran after him with a grin. "Hey! Maybe when we're done, we can recruit the bug girl into the team! I mean, she'd have to be here and couldn't come with us… unless one of the really big Legendaries did something, but she could be in our team here! How cool would that be?"
Eon sighed heavily again as Shadow began another spiel, turning down a new street and passing a motorcycle roaring the other way.
Some things never change…
Lisa stared at the alleyway the two talking foxes had left through, and sighed heavily. If that sentence isn't a sign that my life's getting too weird, then I have no idea what is.
"Well." Brian tried behind her. "That was something."
"Yeah." The new Cape nodded. "I just got given advice on Cape business from two foxes from who knows where. Not what I was expecting on my first night."
"Believe me, we weren't expecting them either." Alec said lackadaisically. Rachel grunted, while Lisa pursed her lips.
"Come on, team, let's get out of here in case big 'n scaly over there wakes up once the little one's out of range." She put forward, starting towards the dogs. "Hey, Bugs, need a lift somewhere safe?"
"Um, sure, I guess." The Cape looked nervously at Lung. "Would you be able to drop me off at Winslow?"
"The shithole high school?" Alec said, looking around the group.
"We can do that." Lisa nodded. "Bitch, Grue, I'll borrow one of the dogs and take Bugs here where she needs to go."
"Alright." Brian nodded. Rachel glared at her for a moment, then grunted her agreement, swinging herself onto Brutus' back while Brian and Alec climbed onto Judas. Lisa made her way up onto Angelica, offering a hand to the other Cape to help her up, then whistled a command to the dog, having her jump up to the roof and towards the school in silence. Behind her, she heard the other two dogs jumping after her, following her lead in silence as the strangeness of the night finally settled in for all of them.
When Armsmaster found the scene several minutes later, all he found was a collection of thrown objects, a number of burn scars on the ground, and an unconscious, slowly shrinking Cape lying face down on the ground, snoring slightly.
Right then. Big dragon, lots of times my size. Going to be difficult to fight head on, kinda like Dialga, but I'm smaller than him, so I can use that. Looks like a dragon, but he's on fire... wait, Eon said that they don't have the same rules here, so they probably don't have types either, right? She sniffed the air curiously.

I would think pretty mad, he gets mastered right after having his crotch rotted off. on the other hand it will be more split up between Taylor and Shadow. though if she does join them then I guess it might just go to towering rage at the whole team.
Of course if she joins the Undersiders instead then the anger will have to be split between the teams. though the only reason I can see for her doing that is preferring interacting with kids her age instead of foxes.
On the Gripping hand though, he might be mostly angry at Shadow for mastering and controlling him, if to a limited degree.
And finally on someones else's hand, there could be, though unlikely, thoughts of "did i get punked by a Kitsune?"
By a six tailed one with an all up nine tailed one waiting in the wings in case something went wrong. I do wonder what those two would think of the less savory bits of kitsune lore if they found out about that stuff....
