"...Not worth arguing with someone who isn't around to listen. We gotta stay focused, just like before."
He is trying his best to appear uninjured.
Vee used Laser Focus!
He carefully watches how space bends to Palkia's whims, and the way new objects warped into reality like nothing before. He needs to think of something that will help him evade getting hurt at any cost.
Maybe he'll find something he could focus on and use, just as he did with Roar of Time in a battle prior.

“…You’re right. It was naive of me not to see the writing on the wall. But I wanna live. I wanna live!” He pumps, pointing at Palkia. “And I want that to mean something! Get ‘im, guys! And get that mastermind back here so we can go home!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eq-qUy-a-A Before you, two different Palkias stand before you and the security of the world. Each of them are still taller than the entire party, disregarding that one is a colossal being, moving entire planets under sheer force of will.
Primal Palkia releases another roar, however this time, something very different happens. Like light splashing against a prism, Primal Palkia's appearance distorts and wavers, his image blurring your vision and senses. Three distinct shapes fill your view.
<span class="mu-r">They all move in perfect, feral synchronicity, eyeing each of you down...</span>
<span class="mu-b">There seems to be three different lights.</span>
<span class="mu-g">you cant help but wonder which is real?</span>
The colossal Palkia shifts, wrapping his star-spanning reach around one of the planets, a planet looks really normal, actually. Too normal. It's impossibly normal. The lively, if admittedly plain, grassy surface is gouged by the mountainous claws digging in for grip. It's almost looking like he's ready to hurl the entire thing at the group!
>>5731323 You dip into the unfamiliar void, no longer feeling safe in the comfort of the ghastly shadows of the beyond. This is different. Older. A deep red gaze is watching you carefully, as if stalking you like a predator, waiting for the next step and move.
>>5731357 >>5731348 With his focus sharpened, it's a bit of a surprise as Vee can feel a beautiful melody uplifting his spirits, a warm sensation repairing his broken form. He's been healed to full!
Battle begin...!

Castform briefly looks through the X-Ray Specs and can see that something looks... strange with the green one.
Spiritomb cannot find anything in the seemingly infinite wasteland. It's just empty.
Tintoretto chants.
Maroon dashes across the wasteland, bounding and sprinting with everything that he has to crash into the prism lord. He feels his head crash into a wall of pure light, right before an immediate retaliation. Blue and Red act independently, swinging their arms with the power to rend the void.
>Red Primal Palkia used Spacial Rend! Maroon took 744 damage! >Blue Primal Palkia used Spacial Rend! Maroon took 340 damage! Charles' flash of light crashes against the Green Palkia, who shudders and recoils, crying in pain. Both Red and Blue clutch their heads as the prism effect ends, vanishing.
>Primal Palkia has sustained significant damage and has returned to normal! You can see Primal Palkia's form looks less... real. Part of him burns with emptiness of un-reality, dancing like the embers of a dying fire.
Titan Palkia tenses up before shifting into an arcing throw. A burning hot film of Grass-type energy forms around the planetary baseball as it hurtles down toward you. His eyes flash a brilliant red and the planet shifts. Instead of impacting you, the planet skims its atmosphere against the space you occupy.
Those of you who have not taken cover, you feel the searing, unfiltered pain of an entire planet raze across your soul. You're thrown across the glowing wasteland, scattered and dazed.
>You take 1,000 damage! If you are resistant, you take 700 damage. >>5731372 >>5731375 >>5731381 Citrine, Poli, and Astor make the decision to hide. They dive for cover under a shielded portion of the glowing earth. From within the safety of their bastion, they hear the roaring winds as two massive entities come within a hair's breadth of collision, inflicting severe gravitational chaos. It'll take you a moment to shake off the fear and to escape the shielded formation.
>>5731379 >>5731391 Bind sticks the spike into the glowing earth, hanging on for everything that he has. Clinging desperately, he feels like a napkin in a lightning storm. Vee also holds on as best as he can, trying not to be blown away. He's also a napkin in the wind, but smaller.
>They both take 400 damage. >>5731378 The Titan's eyes briefly glance down at the miniscule form of Sableye. Somewhere, there seems to be some hesitation before its gaze hardens. One massive claw begins reaching out into the void between, looking to grasp the gemlin and crush him like a grape.

>>5731405 >>5731421 Everyone has been revived and healed to full! Having already used Sacred Ash to revive himself and everyone, along with being beaten down by the onslaught of a space-god, Maroon is still reeling. He attempts to act, but weakly flops over.

A crack of thunder and a bolt of lightning hits follows shortly after, electricity running down the form of Primal Palkia. His body twitches and jitters, muscles moving erratically. Charles spits out a splash of acid, the caustic substance running down the weakened side of the other dragon. There's a hiss of pain, but not a second to recover as Bind rides the Psychedelic wave vibe manifestation. His ride abruptly ends as it crashes against the shore of Palkia's. The Lopunny clings to the scales, trying not to fall down.
Stern moves in, but the pain of having a planet pass like a meteor has dazzled his mind. He misses the attack!
>>5731422 >>5731423 >>5731429 Despite having terrible line-of-sight of the Eevee, Poli manages to lob the gem perfectly out, landing next to its intended recipient. He then continues to sit in the hole.
A glittery aura field intertwines itself with the light of the land, turning it a shade of pink. You feel safer, somehow... At the same time, it pulses and crashes against Primal Palkia's legs.
>>5731414 Titan Palkia claw's twitch and shudder. It rumbles in confusion, the very weight of its voice threatening to undo the threads of the void realm Sable finds himself in. Finally, it acts and cleaves its entire tail through the un-reality, ripping it open. Phantom Force is having trouble staying connected here, he's going to have to exit soon or risk something wrong happening!
Primal Palkia lets out an electrified roar. His body pauses and seizes up from the shock. It doesn't look like the attacks have had as great of an effect then when he had split into three...

>>5731455 From where he is, Astor is having trouble seeing much of anything. Titan Palkia is grabbing something, but what? What does it mean for him and his group?
>>5731467 Spiritomb does not do anything.
>>5731456 >>5731468 >>5731478 There's nothing to see from Primal Palkia at the moment. He's damaged and hurt. You can imagine that whenever he splits himself into different colors, it might be some kind of defense against the planetary forces at work, but he becomes exceptionally vulnerable...
Maroon rushes around and begins digging his claws into the dragon's hide, scaling the back of the giant. Without the help of Extreme Speed, Primal Palkia has a better sense of where Maroon can be!
The Infestation cannot physically reach Titan Palkia, who seems to be occupying a higher plane. Instead, the Infestation strikes Primal Palkia, rooting him temporarily.
>>5731461 >>5731466 Sable finds that climbing the Titan, despite the incredible difference in size, it's a slippery surface to move around on! Walking on the shoulders of giants is no easy task.
>Escape on the collapsing Phantom stream to safety! >Come on... keep climbing! Meanwhile, Kaku is attempting to scale the massive creature on the horizon. The more and more he runs, he quickly realizes... how is he supposed to reach the Titan? The distance is physically impossible to approach. There doesn't seem to be a beginning or an end to this place, every step forward only makes the horizon feel further.
>Kaku gains an advantage on rushing Primal Palkia, however, who is distracted. >>5731462 >>5731464 >>5731465 >>5731469 Charles is temporarily blinded by space radiation, his senses overloaded. He reels back. For his next action, there will be a -1 penalty. Bind seems too amazed to properly understand the information he's observing. It's a strange planet...?
Meanwhile, Stern and Poli can see the Titan is moving another world, one that looks to be held together by a planet spanning ethereal web. The ghostly webs move like creeping spiders as Palkia's claws wrap around it.
>>5731492 A fortress of the glowing earth explodes forth, near Primal Palkia. It's sturdy enough to survive the blast of crashing orbits and open enough to respond quickly.
>>5731452 Rearing back, Primal Palkia roars once again, shaking the surrounding space to its very atoms. Once again, he shatters into three different distinct colors. Those climbing onto Palkia can feel their minds and bodies split apart.
<span class="mu-r"> They all growl with a frenzied look, eyes darting between the different foes. </span>
<span class="mu-b"> a sense of danger, somehow they're all real </span>
<span class="mu-g"> But one of them is so much more alive than the others. </span>
At the same time, the colossal Palkia shifts, looking ready to redirect another planet at the group, toying with the very rules of reality to erase everyone from it.

It's packed tight, but everyone can fit. While it didn't exist a minute prior to this, you have good feeling that it can weather the storm of an entire planet at least once. Any more than that, you can't quite guarantee. But where you are now, you're safe.
Meanwhile, Citrine summons up a barrier to hopefully stand stronger through the gravitational danger.
Those in the bastion, you can attempt to attack. However, due to the openings and the anomalous interference from an entire planet, you have a -6 (Wide Guard reduces from -10) to accuracy. Rolling negatively will endanger yourself. However, you can still try to hurt him!

With Primal Palkia's back turned, he strikes the dragon with a heavy punch and a resounding slap once again.

And speaking of the Titan, it forces the planet forward, racing across the dark of space on an altered orbit. The webs light with soulfire, bathing the sky in an eerie, ghoulish glow. The burning surface nears your own.

It's short-lived as a giant soulfire web flattens the Arcanine and pins him down under its trapping weight.
>A mountain's worth of web-mass falls on him, crushing him for 700 damage. The Hurricane causes Palkia to throw his claws down to stab into the earth to stabilize himself, as more of his solid form is destroyed, followed shortly by the arcane blast from Poli's strange spellbook, the space dragon is looking less and less tied to this reality. Almost like he'll fade. Right up next is Spiritomb's attack, and everyone can see it shuddering against the reality-defying form of Primal Palkia. The burning feral anger seems to still be mostly focused, however.
Kaku, still outside and subjected to the fury of the soulfire can feel his soul burning under the scrutiny of an entire planet. However, he doesn't allow his will and strength to falter. Crushing the gem in his grasp and absorbing its full power, he throws himself at Primal Palkia. The dancing stars and blinding illumination of faerie power tears right through the faltering scales of the Lord of Space. He ends with a cool pose, with starlight steaming off his hair. The passing planet is still going to kill him, though.
>A mountain's worth of web-mass falls on him, crushing him for 700 damage. The Stone Edge carves away at his leg, causing it to become an immaterial shape of space gas and dust.
Every second that passes, Primal Palkia is looking worse. He falls to a still-solid knee, with one half-lidded eye burning a hole through your soul.
>>5731569 >>5731552 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAChq41MUHU There's a burning light fighting against the darkness and reach of the void, calling out for help across the world. All the planetoids sing their praises, as Vee can feel multiple presences answering the call for help. Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic, Ice, Dark, and Fairy have come to aid Vee in the darkest moment. With the fading light...
...several Eeveelutions appear, although they come out looking misshapen and jagged. Vee can still feel himself getting stronger in all regards, though. But he feels a crushing sense of unluckiness that deals true damage to his psyche. Oh, well, at least it did look really cool for a minute.
Guildmaster
>>5731551 It seems Primal Palkia isn't all too mentally there to communicate. The only emotion it radiates is one for survival and scathing, frothing fury.
The planet leaves your orbit, scattering sticky soul webs all around the infinite field.
Digging in further, Primal Palkia unleashes a pained, warbling cry across the cosmos. Titan Palkia's eyes widen before it begins moving in a strange way. It raises one arm higher, higher, until it cannot go any further than that. With one brilliant, burning stroke of spacial energy, a truly galactic curving slash of energy speeds across the overplane and through the areas between reality. It's one last attack to finally strike all of you down!

Vee used Spacial Rend!
He shouts Eevee-ly, swiping his paw out before him and reaching up at the Titan far in front of him. Vee might not hold the same command over space as the God of Space, but he's got a Legendary Move to cross off his list, just like with Roar of Time.
He aims to remove the space between him, his Vee-teammates, and Palkia, hoping to land near Sable to help out.

The second Dark Pulse splashes against Primal Palkia, who flinches and shakes in place, unable to move much more.
Castform strikes the shoulder gems, cracking their surface with the attack. A massive burst of spacial energy fills the area as the field begins to destabilize from the ruptured gem. Primal Palkia cries and lashes out in pain. Another Hurricane from Astor picks up the residual soulfire, burning around the void-like wisps emanating from Primal Palkia's wounds, intensifying the damage.
Stern taps his head, making sure it's still intact for this... and he runs to smash into Primal Palkia once again... only to miss entirely!
There's a loud roaring of a different kind from under the pile of soul webs, right as they're spaghettified and dragged into oblivion. The summoned Black Hole launches away, tailing the Spacial Rend launched by Vee. The intensified gravity fills the sky with strange cosmic phenomenon, further amplified by the debris being hurled up by Bind unintentionally. A superheated aurora forms overhead as intense power fights against each other, grinding and spitting out energy hotter than a building supernova.
>>5731619 Maroon heals away his wounds.
>>5731620 Sableye takes a deep breath and launches himself across the divide to Titan Palkia's chin. He can see the hand slowly moving to swat him away, but his momentum and size outpaces the approaching danger as he kicks Palkia in the chin! It sounds like a gong except resonating throughout his entire tiny body. Sent spinning away, he's going to crash-land back on the infinite field.
It's getting hard to see anything as a Black Hole and two Spacial Rends collide... with a dragon-type accretion disk beginning to slice across the stars above.
A momentary, unnatural silence robs you of your hearing as a cosmic explosion spreads across the sky. No one can hear anything as you watch what amounts to a galaxy being birthed.

Xerneas doesn’t let you answer. “Congratulations on defeating that withering mind. I’d had hoped he would waste more time, but… tch. You can never truly trust anyone beneath you to get what you want done. Especially that of a feral. But Palkia served his purpose.”
He stops by a tree with branches attempting to scratch the sky, ancient and towering. Xerneas turns to stare at all of you, unbothered by your presence. It doesn't quite seem to look as if his stare is at anyone in particular.

Having gracefully descended from the canopy of the massive tree and into the pond in front of you, the Tsareena's blade skirt lifted and unfurled like a deadly sharp fan, displaying several Duoblade pairs ready and poised to strike. Her form and stance elicit the same feeling, albeit layered in an aura of regality. She introduces herself with a practiced bow, before the Tsareena's gaze narrows.
The rippling water becomes still as the falling leaves dance in the light breeze of the grove. The Empress finally speaks.
"To come to such things, Lost Hope... I must ask that you arrest yourselves and cease." With the tone in her voice, it sounds like it should've been a command rather than the request she had spoken.

>>5734756 The "spell" hits the Empress with relative accuracy, coating and suffusing into her petal body, causing parts of it to wilt faster.
Through the flames, you can see the vague outline of Xerneas patrolling the arena, watching the fight. The Tree of Life's canopy seems to be expanding with each strike, although you're not sure if that's some sort of trick of the eye.
Empress visually looks worse than when the fight began, although she's not one to show just how the damage is affecting her. Without even skipping a beat, she zeroes in on Citrine. "I can see your preference for being a shield for your friends. Admirable. Let us test that, Citrine."

>>5734793 Charles begins digging away at the roots of the Tree, revealing just how dense and thick the entire network is. It's the most alive he's ever seen a tree move, with its anchoring roots growing, snaking, and worming further into the dirt. It's kind of hypnotic in a way... As he continues to unearth, he feels a sinking realization hit him. The Empress isn't here to finish the job. It's to buy time for the Tree of Life...!

>>5734797 Poli's strange spells strike the bark of the tree, splashing their mysterious and eldritch payload against each pore of the living wood. It begins to sizzle and bubble.

The Empress rolls her shoulders back as she saunters to the center of the pond. Finding herself relatively in the center, she directs the unobstructed Doublades to target Charles.

Looking at Xerneas, he smiles smuggly. "Didja get all that? Huh?!" Immediately, he takes the sword's hilt back into his mouth and swings it into the Tree of Life, uncertain of what it might do, but helping out anyway.
Perhaps an overload of energy might do something bad to him, or the sword, or Xerneas, or even the Empress. It has to be going somewhere, right? And the sword seems to love sapping the life out of things.

>>5734825 Maroon immediately boils away the water still stuck in his coat as he ignites hot enough to melt metal on touch, flinging himself recklessly at the Tsareena. His sudden attack sends them both reeling back into the pond, splashing with steam and struggle.

Just like Sableye, Spiritomb is struggling to see past the obscuring and deceitful nature of the fairy fog that permeates the area outside the designated arena. Most likely a purposeful design by the deer, no doubt.
Although... Xerneas is definitely influencing something. It must be the tree...?
>>5734835 The Blast Seed hits the ground next to the Empress, and it looks ready to explode, only for it to die down and remain inert. A pulsing wave blasts out from Xerneas, nullifying it.
>>5734841 This shout immediately causes those in the fog to see Xerneas moving rapidly, almost like he's actually going to act against Charles directly.
>>5734845 His neutral attack causes the tree to shudder.
>>5734850 The spike lands way lower than it should have, due to the Gravity, and Bind doesn't have enough room to swing properly. The spike does damage the bark of the Tree. However, Bind does look very silly as he jumps and faceplants, fully having expected to be swinging like a superhero.

>>5737037 Xerneas shouts as the attack engulfs him, attempting to wave away the darkness surrounding his mind and body. Shaking his antler menacingly as a fight response, it soon dawns upon him that this is merely the product of a mental attack upon his freshly weakened psyche. As the fear bleeds into unrestrained fury, he stomps forward and pins Sableye down by the chest.
The gemlin stares down the wrathful gaze of the Lifebringer, his pristine look marred by the combat. "If you so insist upon being dealt with personally, so be it." The embedded gems on his antlers flash pink, and a condensed circle wraps around Sableye. Once, and then twice.

Xerneas hisses out in pain as he drops, watching the Eevee scamper away to revive Citrine.
Vee experiences 250 of his life (points) drain away.

>>5737052 The strange magical charge contained within the wand suffuses into the bark of the Tree, rippling its surface with an arcane wave.

>>5737056 Charles revives Maroon!
>>5737057 >>5737070 Citrine shatters the already ruined clearing. Mud and trampled grass goes flying as jagged spikes emerge like a clawing, closing hand upon the Empress, just in time for the revived Maroon to rush in. The reckless nature and attack of the Arcanine has him barreling straight through the Stone Edges, lacerating and cutting into his fur as he becomes a crashing sun. The Empress only has mere seconds to bring up her Aegislash as the two forces clash for supremacy. The intense heat begins to turn the Aegislash a glowing orange, with the Tsareena's skin drying up right behind it.
>Maroon takes 392 damage from the Stone Edge! With one final rasping breath and all the power still in her, the Empress grabs Maroon by the scruff of his neck. With a heave, she throws the Aegislash at Astor and Maroon at the spatial barrier.

>>5737042 Xerneas temporarily departing to annihilate Sableye has opened up an opportunity to escape.
The Empress clutches her wounds, whispering something unintelligible. Taking one final breath, she collapses, her wounds too much to bear. The Aegislash faints, but its trajectory is still primed to slice into Astor.

As the Strings are strung, he can feel dance to a different beat. The gigantic blade embeds itself in his body and a shock of pain lances throughout him.

Within the confines of Infinity, Vee gazes upon all that ever was and all that will be. The energy was everywhere all at once, and he's daring to bring both radical ends of the spectrum together.

At the heart of two different worlds, with the weight of both resting upon your shoulders, everything feels so slow. Poli can feel the Awakening in his bones. Maroon can feel the roots squeezing the breath from his lungs. Sableye remains fainted. Stern burns away at the roots. Astor tugs at the blade left within. Kaku and his hair is entangled in the restrictive thorns. Citrine struggles against the tools of his captor. Konstantin doesn't stop fighting. Spiritomb chants. Charles sings one last song.

You find yourselves laying on a wide, hard yet smooth jet-black surface. Outward is a yet blacker expanse, an empty void as far as your minds can interpret. The other features you can make out are a triangular, green wall behind you and a larger-than-life black face staring back you. it's titanic, every bit as imposing as that projected Palkia! There's no malice in its gaze, however. More calming is the sight of Sneasel, leaning on its chin.

>>5737279 >>5737274 "Prepare yourselves." It's as monotone a delivery as the rest of his speech, with the slightest hint of cheer. Neon-green lights snake their way out from his core to cather at the tips of his curled tails, before they fire a beam of draconic energy. They burn the shape of a 'Z' into the void ahead, before exploding and engulfing everyone present once again. Your vision returns to the sight of all of Grass Continent below you, bathed in the orange glow of sunset. The air, despite Zygarde's motion is peaceful and undisturbing.

---As you could tell by the ID, I play the reckless wildfire on legs and the huge teddy bear with claws. Since this is the last thread of this campaign I'd like to saw a few things before it all ends. It's been nearly two years since I first spotted the second thread while scrolling through /qst/ looking for something to pass the time. There's been quests with multiple players before, but nothing like this. . . so out of interest I decided to join the server and check out what's what. And now, nearly two years later, we've gotten this far. A lot farther than most quests ever do, and what you see in the archives is just scratching the surface. There's been countless side quests on the server and little interactions, too many to list. . . I don't regret clicking on that thread, on that link, and making all the friends and memories I have. So from the bottom of my heat, thank you. I can't wait to see what adventures we have next.

You all deserve that at least." He tells Astor frankly, his expression soft. "After all we've been through, proper goodbyes are the least I can give, right?"
Astor
>>5737433 "Yeah..."
Astor is saddened by it but also understands
"... i hope you have a safe passage back and that you live a fullfilling life, but mind to stay an extra day or two? So we can celebrate yet another victory"

But a good way to send himself off, no?

>>5737764 https://youtu.be/LkqgupffSsY >Sable, a man responsible for ending the world as well as saving it, returned to Sable City. >Waiting for him there was his new family. >Despite his eagerness to rest, he always made time to visit the Guild Headquarters, and frequently went on adventures with the group until the time came for them all to retire. >He always looked fondly over his time with the guild, but all good things eventually end. He was pleased that this particular end was a happy one. Team Divers Vee, Sylveon
>>5737764 Vee has a lot to do, as always. His ambition is as large as his drive to enjoy life with himself and his friends. Whatever happens in the future isn't easily-said, but he was never and will never be one to overlook the present in favor of the future.
He wants to become the greatest outlaw in the world.
He wants to use every move known to Pokémonkind.
He wants to have fun with his friends, forever.
And he wants to find ever more things he wants to do.
He is and always will be a beacon of boundless energy.
So who cares about the future? It's not like his story will ever end. Not on his watch. He's just too sneaky for you to know his next move before he's already taken it.
https://youtu.be/tj4YmCH67k4 >There is a letter written in a mixture of printrune and English. It's messy and barely-legible, but it was made with effort. >It bears a 'Debby's Dashing Delibird Deliveries' logo on it. 'Hey, so, I suck at writing, so this is really annoying for me, but I guess you're right. Practice makes perfect or something.'
'I've still got to head to Treasure Town and buy more supplies like you asked me to... two weeks ago. But something came up, and I'm still lying low until the heat dies off. Maybe you could ask Citrine to do it? Or Charles. Or both! I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help, just like me, but they aren't wanted in town, so they can actually buy stuff.'
'Anyway, I have to go. I promised to hang out with Sable today, tomorrow I've got a job from Rae to do with Brock, and I wanted to ask Bind about helping me rearrange my room. He seems like the type to know how to build a good pillow fort. Oh, and I've got to meet Surtr and Poli for some more magic training, talk to Castform since wants to do stuff, ask Maroon about where he got those Empowerment Seeds, and maybe ask Kaku if he knows anything about training Fairy-Types. It'd be neat to get to know him more.'
'Also I think I just heard something outside my treehouse. They might be onto me. Going to check that out after this.'
'I know it's only partially-written in printrune, but... Does this count as a completed assignment, Professor Pika?'

>>5737764 Cava would continue his adventures across the continents, aiding random 'mons in a hundred different ways, big or small. A few dozen years or so after the great battle with Xerneas, he simply vanished. Whether he died in combat or simply found a door to another world remains to be seen.
Stern: Dine and Diver
Quoted By:
>>5737764 Stern would remain in this world for a few years to come, mostly relaxing and trying out dishes around the world and riding boats. Eventually though, he had become homesick for Hoenn, and gave a heartfelt farewell to his friends to return home.

>>5737764 Not a few days after Konstantin finished saying his goodbyes, heartfelt and genuine, after apologizing to whoever he felt he'd wronged...
He was gone. He'd left a few things behind, mostly a few seeds and berries, but things like Wroughtquill's armor and the Whispering Glass Greatblade were gone with him. He'd also left a note, written down with one last goodbye, and a wish for everyone to stay safe.
...
...
....
Somewhere, where the sun shines, an ordinary little suburban neighborhood has a house, with whitewashed walls and a faded blue roof.
There comes a knock on the door, and a woman still in mourning opens.
"I'm home, mama." A voice says, hoarse with overwhelming emotion, tears running hot down smiling cheeks. "I'm home!"
Theodore: Builder Bear
Quoted By:
It's a quiet life for Theodore after the guild saved the world. Adventuring isn't exactly his field after all- that's engineering, and the only place left in the world that needs engineers is Isla Aether.
Maroon: Big Dogs
Quoted By:
Things never slow down for Maroon, it's not in his nature to. Instead, the grand adventures out in the world are just trade in for grand adventures back at home. Whether that be helping his friends with their own personal projects, keeping the town he help build safe and happy, or starting a family of his own- everyone who's ever met the reckless mutt can't say he wasn't memorable.

>>5737764 Here in this world, empty of pretermined places and roles for every being to fill, Bind has made a place for himself; there’s nothing to go back to. Lost Hope would function for the rest of its lifespan as a sort of hotel for wayward ex-humans, flung across time and space more as haphazardly as litter than heroes. Bind, the Guildmaster would go on to make a living of bringing the best out of every list wanderer, criminal, or drifter to enter his home.

>>5737399 Charles is a simple man.
Or mon.
After the Guild's latest victory, a battle that the future of the world rested upon,
He went back home, and watered the garden.
He could never bear to leave. Too many friends, too many happy memories!
He did start up a flower shop however.
The many varieties of flora he brought back home from their travels brought in quite a few customers!
So many he had to start going off on his own to get more flowers!
He'll meet many new faces on his journeys.
Some old ones too.
Even a familiar pachirisu.
Despite the appearance of leading a simple life, he still went on adventures with the Guild.
He's got a lot of years left in this, his second life.
And not a moment will be wasted!
Poli - Sauceror Supreme
Quoted By:
Poli had always preferred his magical callings, despite his aptitude. Rather than continue work as an explorer, Poli would move on to found a school "by wizards, for wizards, made from wizards (huh?)." Despite the eccentric combined headmaster & janitor, it would go on to pioneer advances in the local understanding of Orbs and Wands and eventually produce a number of great scholars.

They found happiness in each other, and they will always be together

>>5737423 >>5737764 As the world ever-changes around them, including the ex-humans they have an in with at the Lost Hope Guild, Spiritomb remains in stasis... Still sealed within their Odd Keystone... Still hunted by the Federation and all who seek their bounty... Still running The Epitaph and other moneymaking schemes to make whatever lives they eventually reincarnate into better...
Assured that change of their own draws ever closer from the failure of Xerneas' plans of stasis, Spiritomb looks to their own future- finding the Hero that sealed them away.

Olly
Quoted By:
>>5737764 Ultimately unaware of the actions of the Lost Hope Guild in their conflict against the Federation, Olly, the man displaced both in worlds and time unlike the others kept wandering the world. His newfound faith allowed him to finally truly accept his fate, and move on to live a better life than he had in the 1800s backwater village he was born to.
A chance encounter with a Skitty during a snowy day on the Misty Continent brought a new change into his life. The pragmatic stranger appealed to the self proclaimed squirrel, and he chose to travel with her for a long time to come.
Brock
Quoted By:
>>5737764 Brock distanced himself from the guild for a while after their attack on the Federation HQ, slinking away into the shadows during the chaos. The Slaking thought his work was done, and he had made the best effort he could to pay for keeping his Federation affiliation hidden from his bros.
He would soon return to Treasure Town to work with Rae and any other local businesses that needed a pair of hands. Building a rapport with the locals quickly, he eventually moved to make friends in the criminal underworld as well.
In the end, whenever asked for his motives, Brock would laugh and answer "I just wanted to make more bros, bro!"
Citrine
Quoted By:
>>5737764 Citrine, for all his claims about hoping things will be quiet, isn't the type to retire early. He settles down, sure, as he's planned for a long time, but when adventuring work is all you know, it's hard not to keep doing it when the opportunity presents itself.
Which, from his point of view, is basically anything, from a relaxing hike to helping fight off outlaws with the guild. The beauty of it, to him, is that it never stops being something he enjoys. A dream job, an easy one, if tiring sometimes.
That makes relaxing afterward easy, too. It's a little strange, for things to be this simple. But he's pretty sure he's earned it. Everyone has.
Mistral
Quoted By:
Even if the chaos settled, there was still too much to see. There was that paradoxical and metaphorical fire. Adventure and exploration called. But to do so alone?
Dr. Pika
Quoted By:
>>5737764 >>5738067 Pika looked over the old assignment paper with a smile on her face. This past year had been quite hectic for the guild, and even though her place had always been to hold the fort down and tend to the wounded after each mission, she felt accomplished.
Leaning back on her chair, she looked around her office at the various trinkets and books she'd collected and studied. Her own notes on medicines based on available berries and seeds took up an entire shelf. She was well on her way to start a separate clinic in Treasure Town, and with the guild's daycare filled with eager young minds, she was confident her work would continue through the generation. She had a star pupil to entrust it onto, after all. The thought brought a smile to her face, as did the big red C+ on the corner of the paper. Vee always had something going on that distracted him from his homework. The paper dropped into a box with the rest of the semester's archived work. Citrine would be around shortly to pick it up and take it to storage, and after that they would head to town for some shopping. The X-eye seeds were running low, and she still had a batch of Full Heals to make this week.
In the end, life continued on for the doctor. A peaceful life of her choosing, one that would echo down history if she had her way. The mother of modern medicine had a nice ring to it.
