Throne Room
"Hello Mr. Doe we were just outside in town when we noticed this Gengar creature,". "I assume it belongs to you,". "Please make sure to keep a better eye on them."
John Doe stared at the Gengar the soldier from before brought in. He looked to his own shadow just to make sure. The shadow shrugged back at him.
"...Well, this one isn't mine, but good that you brought it here instead of leaving it alone in the wild," Doe said.
They look confused. Grinn, you're up.
Grinn the other Gengar emerged from John Doe's shadow. De hoped this didn't spook the other Outlanders there. Grinn hoped it did. "Yo," she said. "Haven't met a fellow ghost 'round here. You get separated from a trainer, or you from the wild?"
Safehouse
"Understood, milady."
Alvis stood up and walked to the kitchen to see the Outlanders waiting patiently for him. He briefly scanned them before speaking.
"Thank you for coming," he said. "I am Alvis, Mage General of Yuleia. I am here to bring you to the palace, where Queen Glinda wishes to hold an audience with the other Outlanders there to explain the situation, why you were brought to this world, our next actions, and how you may be able to return home, should you choose to. Please be on your best behavior."
Alvis bowed, then held his radio up. "Ready for transportation." A small amethyst gem hanging from his hip lit up. A large rift materialized in the middle of the room. Alvis stood to the side of it and gave an "after you" gesture.
St. Elne
The other side of the rift opened up to the hallway just outside of the throne room. Standing off slightly to the side, Glinda lowered her staff, ready to greet the Outlanders and her daughter with a smile. Four more guards flanked her, ready to draw weapons if anything happened. The guards to the throne room remained in their posts, more visibly nervous than the others about the new arrivals.

Palace
Sophie looks at the strange Shadow creature not with curiosity. Yet almost like she's trying to remember where she saw him.
"Psst loud mouth doesn't that Shadow creature seem familiar?" Sophie asked Bowser.
"Why would he be familiar not like theirs anything like that back where we are from," Bowser replied.
"I am sure of it Fawful had a strange shadow minion like that one,". "Let's keep an eye on it,". "It could be trouble,". "Besides my hands are already full making sure your a good boy," Sophie told Bowser.
"Pfft if you want I can get a couple of minions to do that,". "It's what they are best suited for,". "Hey Kamek keep an eye on the purple shadow,". Bowser ordered Kamek.
"Sigh of course your majesty,". "I could always call up the Boo squad to keep an eye on him," Kamek told Bowser.
"Whatever as long as it isn't me?" Bowser replied.
POV: Chlortles
(I assume Grinn will understand Chlortles speak being a fellow Gggggggggggeeeeeeennnnggggaaaaarrrr but everyone else will hear Poketalk)
Chlortles seems a little more at ease seeing a fellow Gengar.
"(I was outside in some field with me, Pixy, and Fen Fen. Oh right Pixy is a Pikachu Ph. D, and Fen Fen is a Delphox. Me, Pixy, and Fen Fen were with our trainers. Fawful is well bean humanoid like creature with a weird helmet and swirly glasses. Fen Fen's trainer is named Wario he looks like Mr. Mario but fatter and he wears Yellow.)," Chlortles explains to Grinn.
"(Wario and Fawful were fighting which was weird because apparently they are foes in their world. The Fawful and Wario I know were good friends. The three of us tried to keep them from fighting one another.) Chlortles told the other Gengar.
"(All of a sudden this huge tornado appeared. I tried grabbing my friends to hide them in the shadows. Yet it was too late we were engulfed inside the storm. I was hiding in Fawful's shadow when the winds separated us. Fen Fen and Pixy were sent towards some woods. Fawful and Wario were sent flying to who knows Gengar.)," Chlortles explained.
"(The tornado was strange it felt like it was alive. I saw it only briefly but it looked like a woman was in the center. Pixy was recording it so she would have a better view of it. By the way anyone good at fixing stuff. My translator was damaged by the storm. But my Mega stone and the key stone that goes with it are completely untouched.) Chlortles told his fellow Gengar.
Chlortles reached into his body to show Grinn and John Doe his broken translator, Gengarite, and Keystone.
"(By the way names Chlortles,". "What's your name?)" Chlorltles asked the other Gengar.
Sophie is suspiciously eyeing the Gengar speak towards the other purple shadow creature. Sophie seems very uneasy with the shadow creature.

Lana and the Other Outlanders
Lana makes her way from the group careful not to startle the guards around her. Lana casually makes her way over to her mom goes and gives her mom a big hug.
"I missed you,". "So are we ready to meet the others?". "I am ready when you are," Lana tells her mom" Lana said to her mom hugging her not tight but enough to be in her embrace.
Morgan and the other Outlanders are more nervous then anything. Apparently, other Outlanders were summoned here to the palace so they were kinda of excited to see what they were like. They seem ready to move ahead when given the okay.

Throne Room
"From what I can get," Grinn told John Doe, "His trainer is a 'bean humanoid like creature', and they were separated by a tornado that blew them all away."
Grant, who was just watching from the side up until this point, looked at the Gengar. His eyes lit up when he saw what the other Gengar was holding out.
"Is that a Gengarite?!" he exclaimed.
"And a keystone!" Gawain added in his head. "Haven't seen one of those in ages."
Grinn nodded in the affirmative for not non-Cosmic Drive'd lad's sake. Doe looked at the stone inquisitively. He hadn't actually seen one of those in person before.
"He's also claimin' to have a translator that was broken in the storm that threw him over here," Grinn continued.
Well this fellow became more interesting than expected.
"Hey, Gengar," Doe said.
"Their name's Chlortles," Grinn added. She then turned to the other Gengar. "I'm Grinn, by the way."
"Chlortles," Doe continued. "Does the name 'Team Nova' mean anything to you?"

Chlortles
Chlortles looked confused at what Team Nova was. Chlortles never encountered a Team Nova before maybe the closest thing was Team Rocket. Chlortles even when traveling to different worlds never heard of a team Nova.
Chlortles then notices Bowser and seems suspicious of him. The Bowser Chlortles knows about was a villain looking to turn heros into Black Laternes. The winged woman he never saw before.
"(Sorry can't say I ever heard of Team Nova. I been to many different worlds before too and haven't once heard of them. Is Nova related to Team Rocket? That's about the only Team I can remember)," Chlortles tells Grinn.
Sophie and Bowser
"I am certain that's one of Fawful's minions. He even has that weird stone and he used against us,". "He even talks in Gengars a lot to,". "It seems like he was talking to the other Outlander that just arrived," Sophie tells Bowser.
"Wish I could speak Gengar, don't know what to tell you," Bowser replied.
"Don't really want to make a scene especially since the queen should arrive soon," Sophie tells Bowser.
Bowser seems annoyed but is doing his best to hold his tongue.

Throne Room
"It doesn't," Grinn translated. "And apparently, this ain't his first world-traveling rodeo. Knows a Team Rocket, though."
Of all the things we share in parallel universes, Team Rocket of all things remains constant?
"Well hopefully, we won't have to worry about them here," John Doe replied. "I'm Joshua, but you can call my John Doe." He gestured to his younger friend. "This is Grant."
"And I'm Gawain, the third wheel!" Gawain stated inside Grant's head.
Pleeaaase keep yourself under wraps, Grant mentally pleaded.
"Oh I'll behave for now, but you better let me out now and again when it's time for combat. Need to give the ol' medieval-war-cry vocal cords a workout and smash heads like old times! Let me feel alive once in a while!"
I'll think about it.
"As far as I can tell, we're the only two Pokemon trainers here," Doe continued, oblivious to the other conversation. "Do you want to stay with us while you find your trainer?"
Hallway
Alvis didn't step through the portal himself until after the last Outlander stepped through. He bowed to Glinda while she smiled warmly and tightly hugged her daughter with her free hand. She nodded in acknowledgement to her words, then raised a gentle hand to address the Outlanders. "Please be at ease. I am Glinda Garland, Queen to this realm of Yuleia. Please, follow me to the throne room. I am sure you have many questions, and I will be sure to address them there."
Glinda turned and faced the door. The two guards posted saluted and opened the twin doors, one each.
Glinda was the first to step inside. All the other guards in uniform immediately turned to face her and bowed. Sterling, who was standing off to the side, held his hat to his chest before following suit; a distinctly non-western gesture on his part. Glinda had received prior notice that he had arrive to the palace. Alas, conversing with him would have to come later.
Glinda made her way to the throne along with Lana, Alvis, and the rest of her guards while the other Outlanders entered behind her.

Chlortles the Gggggeeeennnnnggggaaaarrrrrr
Chlortles is relieved to hear that he can hang around with Joshua and the other Pokemon. Chlortles celebrated the only way he knows how. Chlortles levitates in the air and spins around in place while saying Gengar happily.
Chlortles afterwards takes the keystone he has and hands it to Joshua.
"(Tell thank you to Joshua for the kind offer. Here take this Keystone as a sign of my gratitude. With this keystone it will allow me to Mega evolve. Are you familiar with Mega Evolution? I can go over it if your not.)," Chlortles tells to Grinn.
Sophie, Bowser, Mario, and Starlow
Sophie is really worried about the Gengar creature now. He might be trying to use the Outlander in some type of plot. Sophie is highly suspicious when Chlortles hands Joshua the weird stone he was holding. Also when he started celebrating the same way the Gengar she's familiar with celebrates.
Sophie at least wants to warn the Outlander about that Gengar or at least have a talk with him.
"Oh great he's here, why does he have to be here," Bowser grumbles when he noticed Mario.
"Oh hey Sophie is here that's good and oh great he's here," Starlow said when she saw Bowser and Sophie.
Starlow and Mario made their way towards Bowser and Sophie.
"Yollo Sophie it looks like you made it here in one piece,". "By the way where's Ann at?". "Did she get summoned here to?" Starlow asked.
Sophie reached into her pocket and pulled out a card of Ann.
"Yeah she kinda of made it here but well this is what she ended up like," Sophie tells Starlow.
Mario takes out the cards of Princess Peach and Rosalina and shows them to Sophie.
"Oh so they were also summoned here to but also as cards?" Sophie asked Mario.
"Yeah turns out the queen will explain shortly of what happened," Starlow told Sophie.
"Great just Koopa great of all the people I had to see why did it have to be your stupid face," Bowser grumbled when he saw Mario and Starlow.
"Sire remember we went over this," Kamek tells Bowser.
"Hello Mario," Kamek tells to Mario. Mario nods back in response to Kamek.
"Why is he in that ridiculous red and white outfit?". "Aww I get it I play the nice Koopa and then you fireball me in the back,". "Well you can't fireball me if I beat your face in first," Bowser told Mario.
"Sire now's not the time,". "Their has to be a reason why he's dressed in that,". "Chances are he didn't even know you were here til now," Kamek tells Bowser.
"Grumble grumble fine but I got my eyes on you," Bowser told Mario.
"Sigh apparently the cloths they brought for Mario were way to big,". "Mario used a Fire Flower so that the cloths would fit, you big dummy," Starlow told Bowser.
"See simple explanation," Kamek tells Bowser.
Bowser blows some smoke in his general direction annoyed at his response.
"By the way where were you guys?". "Apparently we got summoned at the same time but the only one to show up was this jerk,". "Didn't see you guys at all," Sophie asked Starlow.
"Oh we ended up in the middle of a fountain in town square,". "Me and this young girl and a wolf laguz ended up smack dab in a fountain,". "We were disoriented when a talking dog found us,". "The dog belonged to the princess of this kingdom named Lana,". "Their she is right by her mom," Starlow says to Sophie. Starlow then points out Princess Lana to Sophie.
"By the way did you guys have the talk with Bowser?" Starlow asked.
"Yes we both had the talk with Bowser, about the princess,". "We knows to be a well behaved turtle bits,". "Wouldn't want to have to tell you know who?" Sophie told Bowser.
"Yeah yeah I know,". "Geez you act like all I do is kidnap Princesses,". "Come on it happens a couple of times and people act like it's a thousand," Bowser grumbles.
"Well their was the time we first met Starlow and Zack,". "The time Bowser tried to have a forced marriage on the moon with Peach,". "The time Bowser got a space craft and dragged Peach into outer space,". "The time he kidnapped Peach inside her own castle,". "The time he ate Peach,". "The time he....," Sophie and Starlow were rattling off a bunch of times.
"Geez I already know not to try anything funny,". "Guards look way to competent anyways,". "Require too much of an effort anyways," Bowser grumbles.
Mario goes ahead and pats Bowser on the back of the shell.
"See at least somebody gets me," Bowser said.
Kamek just looked unsure on what to say about what he was seeing.
"By the way how were the people you came with?" Sophie asked.
"Oh they were nice enough,". "The one with the ears and the cat is named Catie,". "She is a wolf laguz and she was talking about her husband from where she came from,". "Catie is really friendly perhaps to friendly at times,". "The younger girl is named Morgan,". "She was in the middle of going on a date but was summoned here,". "By the way she's already been named as a personal retainer to the Princess," Starlow told Sophie.
"Wow personal retainer to the Princess already and they just met,". "That's quite the honor,". "She must have made quite the impression on the princess," Kamek replied.
"Yeah Sam said the same thing,". "But the princess was kind enough to bring us to the safe house,". "Plus she made sure we were comfortable and had anything we wanted,". "She seemed really pleasant to," Starlow said to Sophie.
"Hmph so what big deal,". "I got like tons of retainers," Bowser huffs.

(When you have a long post but one mis click and it disappears into nothingness >->)
Morgan, Catie, and Sam
(Since most of it was some back ground between Morgan and Catie. Crow wouldn't need to know any of the stuff here. Catie and Morgan for now will be talking off to the side. So it was going to be them talking about their background. I had a long post but it got deleted and I have to go to sleep soon because morning shift. So anything listed from now will be after Catie, Morgan, and Sam are done talking.)

Sam, Morgan, and Catie
(Just realized why not leave the above as placeholder text. Have this be where Catie and Morgan introduce themselves to June.)
"Well now that we are better acquainted lets go look for some new people," Catie tells Morgan.
Catie looks around the room and notices a long woman in what appears to be a battle wedding dress. Catie for some reason has a sense of Deja Vú when looking at her. Catie decided her and Morgan will go introduce themselves to her.
"Come on Morgie I found our next vict.... person to go talk to ," Catie told Morgan excitedly.
Morgan didn't get a chance to respond before Catie grabbed Morgan's arm. Morgan was dragged by Catie with Sam trying his best to keep up. Catie then goes to the lady (June) in a battle wedding dress.
"Oh oh oh I really love your battle dress thing,". "Are you an Outlander also?". "My name is Catie what's your name Ms.?" Catie asked eagerly.
Catie's tail becomes unwinded from around her waist. The tail is wagging back and worth like a very happy dog. Morgan and Sam are both trying to catch their breath.
"Hello Morgan name, Outlander came Princess," Morgan chokes out in between breathes

June starts at Catie's questions. "You... You're a laguz? And your tail... a dog? No, a... wolf? I've never met a wolf laguz before. Sorry. I'm June. I'm from Valeria. It's nice to see someone from my own... er... Are you from my world?" She glances over at the Pokemon and the cartoonish creatures.

Catie
"Yuliean no sorry I never heard of a place like that before," Catie sounds disappointed.
"But they have Wolf Laguzes like me where your from,". "Yay I am so happy to hear their are others like me in other worlds,". "Yay I thought I was the last of my kind,". Catie picks up June and hugs her before twirling with her.
"Oh oops sorry my husband Baron always has to warn me about,". "Respecting others personal space,". "Or something like that," Catie tells June.
"Anyways in my world me and my kids are the last Wolf Laguzes left in our world,". "Oh right I come from a land called Orichalcos,". "Well it was called Arstur before but ever since I joined Baron inside the Midnight Cathedral,". "Well time passed so quickly I kinda of lost track of stuff like names,". "Well that and having two children tend to take up a lot of your time," Catie says to June. "Have you ever had that feeling of Deja vú?". "Like you think you know someone butttttt can't quite put your finger on it?". "Anyways what can you tell me about yourself?" Catie asks June.
"Are you married?". "Do you have kids?". "Are you ticklish?". "What's your favorite time of day?". "These are very important questions if we are going to be really good friends," Catie rattles off without missing a beat.
Morgan
While Catie is talking to June, Morgan notices a teenage boy away from the crowd.
The teenager seems to be doing his best to avoid being noticed and just blend into the background.
Morgan makes her way to the nervous teen. "Hello finally nice to meet someone the same age as me?". "My name is Morgan what's your name?" Morgan asks him.

Throne Room
John Doe took the keystone he was offered, and examined it for a bit. It didn't feel as heavy in his hand as it looked.
Okay. Another Gengar. Hm...
"Hey, Grant," Doe said. "This Gengar's name is Chlortles. Do you want to watch over him for a while?"
"Me?" Grant replied. "You have move experience raising one. It even sounds like you would understand it better than I would."
"True," Doe said, "but I already have a Gengar of my own, plus a Ditto that can transform into her, so he would be redundant in terms of team synergy."
And I wouldn't be able to Cosmic Drive with him anyway.
"Also, I'm kind of worried that you don't have that much firepower compared to me. If I recall, you only have two Pokemon to your name, and a sword and shield, and while I'm sure you know how to use it, I'm not sure it would be enough to stand out."
"Well..." Grant muttered. "If you want, I guess you can do it, but Mega Evolution can only be done between a trainer and a Pokemon with a strong bond."
"So..." John Doe said. "Should I keep the keystone and..."
Doe trailed off. The twin doors to the throne room opened, a number of other individuals walked in. A few of them talked like they recognized some of the other Outlanders that were already there, so Doe concluded they were more Outlanders. And do his and Grant's disappointment, nobody else they recognized.
"I don't know who that lady in purple is, but she's got a nice rack."
Grant sighed. Can't you be serious for once?
"Maybe this is just my way of coping with stress. Ever consider that?"
"Let's continue this later," John Doe said to Grant and Chlortles.
Doe began walking over to join the new arrivals -- or at the very least loiter close enough to listen in -- when the lady with bird wings on her back pulled out a card with a familiar brightly colored border. Suddenly reminded, Doe turned around and held Grant by the shoulder to stop him, as he followed him.
"Grant", he said, lowering his voice. "When you arrived to this world, did you find some cards in your possession?"
"Cards?" Grant echoed.
John Doe nodded, reached into his pocket, then held up the first card he drew, which just so happened to be Yancy's. "I found these in my pocket when I came here. Yancy, Riley, and a few others I couldn't recognize."
Grant thought to himself, just now realizing that he hadn't had much time to check inventory until now. He dug into his belongings.
"C'mon Grant, maybe he'll trade us Yancy for something good."
Even if I wanted to do that, do you really think he would trade away his girlfriend like that?
"No, but at least I could feel better knowing there was an attempt!"
Alas, Grant's search came up short. "Doesn't seem like it," Grant said.
John Doe nodded slightly. "I see.... Well, either way, we need to know what they mean as soon as possible. I've got a feeling they're not just simple trading cards.
Grant nodded. His gaze fell when John Doe turned back around.
Still no sight of Meridia...

Malefio's Bone Ship
"What do you mean your ship is broken?"
Admin ran into the cockpit of the spaceship made of bones, owned by Malefio. Everything was shaking uncontrolably, as the shapeless individual shifted into the form of a Varia Suit with a V Shaped visor.
"I thought this ship flew thanks to magic. We just gave it it's magic back, how is it broken?"
Sitting on the pilot's seat, a hooded individual stood up, his hood falling down at the same time, revealing a skeletal face. He answered Admin.
"It might fly thanks to magic, but this is still a spaceship, there's electrical parts... And well, we have an electric creature aboard whom decided to test it's moves."
"Electric? You're saying Jolteon did this? Where is he?"
Hearing it's name, a yellow quadrupedal creature with spyky fur walked into the cockpit, running around Admin happily. Admin scratched his head, unsure if this situation was cute or troublesome. Malefio glared at the Pokemon accusingly, whom responded by looking at the ground, full of guilt. Admin looked at the skeleton.
"So... Do we just die now?"
"Well, magic has one advantage... We'll ignore gravity and crash into the closest planet... Which is..."
The three creatures looked through the windshield, surprise filling their faces. Admin spoke first.
"That's not a planet, that's a giant turtle... One with cosmic proportions at that."
The turtle easily spotted the skull-shaped object moving really fast towards it. Feeling threatened, it's head turned towards the fiery ball of bone, as light started to form around the beak of the shelled god.
"Tell me you have something against that, Malefio."
"I sense that this power is godly... I can't do anything about this..."
The ship was comsumed with light, but the ball of debris resulting from it somehow continued it's trajectory to crash into the world on the turtle's back. A huge crater formed into a plain unknown to the 3 newcomers, whom life somehow became linked together, without them knowing it yet... At the las second, the turtle had sensed that the three entities were needed in Oz and lowered the power of it's breath to keep them alive...
Alive, but unconscious... Admin, Malefio and Jolteon were left alone in the crater that formed from the event, amongst giant mechanical pieces and fossilized bones, unmoving until anyone would find them... Surely, with the noise such crash would cause, it wouldn't take too long...

Most days of Aria’s life tend to consist of her doing the same list of things. Wake up, hunt in the mountains surrounding her nest, eat, drink some water from the nearby springs, maybe do some singing to entertain herself, and back to sleep when night falls. Seeing a big, metal... something or other come crashing down out of the sky? Decidedly not on that list. Not one to pass up on an opportunity for something interesting (and because the impact scared the mountain goat she was about to ambush anyways), the curious harpy changed course and swooped down to the crash site to get a look around.
Upon landing and surveying the wreckage she found what looked to be a long dead human, a yellow thing too full of static electricity to be worth taking a bite out of, and... a metal person? That last one in particular seemed off somehow (besides the obvious), but she certainly wasn’t going to get any answers out of it likes this, so without any better options she sat by the metal figure and began to hum a soothing tune, hoping it would get them back on their feet faster.

Glinda and her guards stepped up the stairs onto the platform with the throne. Glinda stood at the center to address her audience, with Alvis and Lana standing by her side slightly behind her. Glinda's guards lined up on the sides of the elevated platform. The only person not situated in a manner befitting their station was Sterling, who stood off leaning against the wall, away from the group of Outlanders. "Your attention, please!" Glinda declared. She paused as the Outlanders stopped their conversations and looked over to her. "It heartens me to see so many of you have found their way here. This realm is called Yuleia. I am her queen, Glinda Garland." "Wait, she's a queen?!" Gawain exclaimed. She does look pretty regal, Grant responded. But for a queen, I expected... I dunno... more extravagant clothes?"Dammit Grant, kneel down and show some respect for once!"Grant wanted to point out the hypocrisy, but wanted to be able to pay attention to what she was saying more, so he kept quiet and ignored the voice in his head. "Some of you already know what I am about to explain, but there are a number of new faces present, and an explanation is much deserved, so I will begin again. I must welcome you to this world: the world of Oz." Glinda began reiterating the explanation she had given the previous day ( link), up to the point where she explained the condition of the summoner that brought them all here in the first place. "Our original intention was to offer you all the chance to return home at once, if you did not wish to stay. Regretfully, Cia, the summoner, had to perform a powerful magic spell to repel the abomination invasion, and had fallen into a deep slumber. The fortunate news, is that we have learned her condition can be stabilized, if one were to use the waters of a sacred spring to wake her. Unfortunately, the spring is located in territory occupied by the abominations and within the attention of an enemy empire." "Circumstances being as they are, I am afraid that I must ask for your assistance in claiming that territory if you want any chance of returning to your original homes. But... if I may dare to ask for more, then I must implore that you all consider remaining here to grant us further aid... to help us save this world and its people from annihilation." Glinda paused to take questions. Alvis decided to wait before bringing her attention to the strange cards some of the Outlanders had in their possession.
