Honestly, I've no idea, though I doubt it was us. Why would the UKR want you specifically dead?
The diplomat then looks over to R.O.B. Meanwhile some soldiers sit down and have a picnic.
We wish to take Earth under our wing. Make every government capitalist, give every person the same freedom, split the largest companies up, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. In exchange for Earth's cooperation, we'll willing to provide anything it needs. Money, protection, they name it, we'll try to provide. However, naturally there are those who, for one reason or another, reject this offer. That is why we're speaking to you. As some of Earth's defenders, we wish to avoid any conflict by striking a deal for it defenders to support us. Not with murdering those that deny us mind you, but simply spreading the good word. If there's a personal price, we may be able to pay that as well.

Pierce is picked up by unknown means and is thrown into the ground. Pierce, still juggling the balls, hastens his pace before the balls start to catch on fire.
Strike one!
One ball rockets upwards, slamming into Stache. As he's knocked around, another ball strikes him in the temple.
Strike two!
Stache plummets to the ground. Just as he looks to Pierce, a ball is thrown his way.
And strike three! You're ou-
Stache is nowhere to be seen.
HEY! What's the big idea! You ruined my punchline!
Pierce's arms lifts up, causing Pierce to look around. Suddenly Pierce begins to beat himself up.
Pierce! What are you doing!
Pierce laughs all the while, seemly getting the joke. As Walnut looks on in fear, he catches a metal object flashing corner to corner.
So that's it. Pierce! Cartwheel to your right!
Pierce does so, landing straight into Stache. As both fall down, Pierce pulls out a pie and slams it onto Stache. As much as Stache tries to pull it off using his PSI, he's unable to. Pierce then proceeds to irish box him.

Pop Star

Suddenly, a shadow looms over the UKR...

Freedom for every person, you say? How interesting... And vindicating, too, to see people actually willing to give this sort-of thing...
...It's unfortunate that I am inclined not to believe you. You say every person gains the same freedom, and yet I am almost certain you mean to say every human gains the same freedom. Don't pretend that you lot care for those who are not-so the same species as you.
...However. I believe myself to be a reasonable being... So I shall give you the chance to prove me wrong.

OOC: A side-note: The battle that happened between Shadow Mewtwo and Moronicle is something I decided to have concluded off-scene: That ending being, Moronicle left because he became bored. Shadow Mewtwo is angry about this, but decides to focus on his main agenda. (I at least hope Rotom agrees to this; Because otherwise we'd have to choose between killing one of them off, or never using either of these two again. And frankly, I kinda like the story idea I have for Shadow Mewtwo, and I kinda want to use it.)

As for how he got to Pop Star, figure that out on your own, because I have no idea.

Geo: Geo wonders why baby bot was in former best thing...? He holds the infant sized robot in his somehow capable hands... while it started to look at Geos torso strangely... Geo: Uh... why is infant bot looking a Geos torso funny?

As the diplomat stands up to speak, another soldier gets in front of him.
Look around you. Do you not see the flags?
In a strange turn of events, green flags can be seen flying everywhere.
What are you doing invading our private business anyways? With how different you look, I doubt your from around here anyways so-
The diplomat gets in front of the soldier.
Tell me, do you see humans frollocking around? This place is under the protection of the UKR, yet if you look hard enough, the majority of this world's inhabitants can't tell the difference.

Gensokyo - Ruined Western Mansion

Sanae cautiously opens the front door, and the group of five walk in one at a time.
Rho-volt Torch is the last to step foot in the mansion, but as soon as his foot touches the carpet... (Battle Theme) ♫ Mother 3 - MROB-6270M ♫
Without hesitation, Li'l Miss Marshmallow angrily slaps Torch, sending him flying across the room!!!

Angry Slap: (None/Damage) The user slaps the opponent hard, usually in the face. Can't be avoided.

iX: Jesus... Mother 3 enemies...? How low did they go...? He then sniped Lil miss marshmellow with a Spark Chaser...

Pop Star

Shadow Mewtwo looks over to Meta Knight.

Just a mere overreaction. I am simply here to converse... Because if I am not to be heard, then all of humanity will pay the price.

Shadow Mewtwo then looks back to the Diplomat.

...You know, ever since that "Moronicle" guy decided to bail on our fight, I have been... Intrigued. By you lot... The things you are after. What your LEADER is after.
...I have considered a number of things. Most of them consisted of complete human extermination for the sake of Nature's preservation... But now, I wonder if there is even a need for such.
...Humans- as well as Robots, and other civilization-related races and tribes alike- have been polluting, destroying, and damaging nature since nearly the dawn of time... From making homes from trees to removing them outright to build cities. ...Believe it or not, however, I am willing to look past this.
...But if there is one thing I despise about humanity... It's the concept of Pokemon Trainers. Enslaving us in their spherical capturing devices, and forcing us to battle, let them ride on our backs, and participate in their sports, musicals, and contests. And the thanks we are given in return for our undying loyalty? Continued containment in their little pocket-sized cages.

...Now. What I'm asking is not to take down the entire idea of Pokemon Training, believe it or not. I have come to understand that there are some Pokemon who tend to enjoy the company of their trainers. That much I can accept. Besides, even I cannot deny that I tend to enjoy a good fight every now-and-again... Of course, that may just be my nature.*
...What I want is for those Pokemon to be treated with a little more respect... And do do that, I want to replace the concept of "Poke Balls" with THESE.

Shadow Mewtwo sets on the table some kind of technologically stylistic necklace. A Pokeball decal is set in the middle of the necklace.

*Nature as in personality, not in terms of what it normally means for Pokemon.

Meta Knight walks up to the table R.O.B. and the Diplomat are standing (sitting? IDK) at.

Gensokyo - Ruined Western Mansion

Kanako unleashes a Spell Card!!
Divine Festival "Expanded Onbashira"
Li'l Miss Marshmallow is pelted by the seals, retaliating by spilling Hot Tea everywhere, with Sanae just barely protecting the group thanks to an Earth-God Summon: Shield!!

---

Divine Festival "Expanded Onbashira": (Crystal/Weapons, Nature/Water) A Spell Card where the user traps the opponent in an increasingly narrow stream of lasers, then fires a barrage of seal danmaku at them.
Hot Tea: (Water/Flame) The user splashes multiple targets with a cup of absurdly hot tea. Like, third-degree burn level hot.
Earth-God Summon: Shield: (Earth/Shield) Sanae summons Suwako, who raises a bubble shield around herself, able to absorb a set amount of damage before being destroyed.

‡Since gender doesn't exist (aside from with Nidoran) in Gen I of Pokémon, 'M is currently considered genderless.
§The level 'M (hexadecimal FF) learns Leech Seed at.

The diplomat looks at the device and scans it. Without moving his head, he begins to speak to Meta Knight.
We looked after this planet in your absence. Heroes got to go do hero stuff after all. And in terms of other parties trying to control Pop Star, they failed because they lacked the power to keep it and they also lacked the foresight to see that the ones they control almost matter. What's a king without subjects?
The diplomat looked over to Shadow Mewtwo.
What's the difference between this and a regular...Poker Ball you called it? They both appear to be capture devices, correct?

As Null lays down for the night, thoughts start to flood his vision. Along with plans and formulas, a strange picture slowly comes into focus.
......
There's no way out. There's no way out!
I'm never going to leave! This world will come undone and I won't be able to escape it.
I'm trapped in darkness...
Gamma...you knew what was to come. Why? Why did you leave me?
D.S.? simply continued to drift in this black void.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
*DRIP*
Suddenly a greyish drop of water falls in front of D.S.?. Startled, he drifts away and tries to run. However, curiosity overtakes him and he looks back to find a growing puddle in space.
What...what is this thing?
D.S.? looks up to see a mirror of pure shadow dripping the greyish fluid. As Null touches the mirror with a stick that he created, he looks down to see a eye staring right at him from within the puddle. Before he can react, a glob of liquid latches onto his arm.
ACK! Get off of-
Suddenly, the liquid springs back off of him. As Proto Man D.S? morphs his hand into a flamethrower, he realizes something...
Why...why do I feel better? I feel like I should be upset but...I don't?
Null looks back to the pond as the eye looks at him in an almost frightened way.
Hmm...perhaps this...thing's able to drain emotions...Maybe it could help quell my moments of panic while I think of a plan.

After Post 13

Grey Matter? That's the stuff that turned my entire group into moving corpses. You're accusing us of siding with that thing! The winged one you speak of can't be Grey Matter! I won't lie and say that I know all that much of the winged one, but it doesn't make any sense as to why it would attack our own men, hence why I refuse to believe it's the same thing!
Some of the soldiers look on in worry or anger while a rookie plays football with a Waddle Doo.

Bladesmatter simply watches from the window.

Bio Star Labs

As the soldier almost nears the corner, the main lights go out, resulting in the hallway to glow an eerie red. The rookie seems to trip on thin air and looks upwards. A single scream erupts before a pair hands descend from the ceiling and grab him, pulling him upwards.
Great. This is the only way to the safe rooms. Either we run or try to fight that thing.

Mystic Ruins

Amy is briefly surprised to hear Metal talking, but continues her investigation into his personal agenda nevertheless.

...Not willing to spill it, huh? Can you at least tell me where all the commotion you caused in Station Square fits into whatever you or that Eggman is up to?

It isn't a "capture" device, at least not in the same sense as a Poke Ball. Allow me to explain...
This particular object- though nameless at the moment- is the result of reverse engineering an ordinary Poke Ball... More specifically, the technology used to "capture"- or, rather, subdue- a wild Pokemon.
Once placed around a Wild Pokemon's neck, assuming the right conditions are met- which should match those of a Pokeball's capture rate-, it should have just about the same subduing effect that makes the transition from a Wild Pokemon to a Trainer's Pokemon.
In other words... If the Trainer can get it around the Pokemon's neck, that Pokemon has a chance to be tamed, similar to Pokeballs... Just with a lot more roaming space.
...Now, how this would work with Pokemon Storage Units and whatnot hasn't been figured out yet... But I'm sure there are plenty of smart scientists you could talk to to figure it out.

What else can be said? I'm a fighter, not an inventor. That device was created by someone else entirely, a human scientist of sorts that came to me through some kind of portal.
...Yeah, the Anti-Human Pokemon got this whole idea from a human scientist. Go figure. Be fortunate that it happened; If it didn't, I wouldn't be so open to this peaceful route.
In any case... If you find a way to mass-produce these and replace Pokeballs with them, I will restrain myself from mass-human genocide. A good deal, if you ask me.

R.O.B. briefly closes his eyes, then raises and lowers his torso as if taking a deep breath. He then leans forward.

..."Team Mecha"...? Can't say I'm familiar with them... But I'm sure Sonic will fill me in, once I find him...

If she can find him... Not to mention have Sonic hold still long enough for it to be explained.

...Fine. I don't have any reason to trust you, considering how you've kidnapped me in the past*, but I suppose you're off the hook... For now.

Amy proceeds to be on her way, leaving Metal Sonic alone.

The Pokemon duo turn to leave, but stops for a moment.

Team Prototype Central Station* Prototype teleports in front of three people.

Where were you? You were gone for quite some time.
I assure you, it's not important. At least, not at the moment.
Well, what the hell do we do now, then!?
Good question.

Prototype creates a holographic map that falls in the center.

Over all, there has been a rapidly dwindling number of citizens in a certain area...
Where?
A certain plaza filled with different fast foods. Those who enter a select few and leave seemingly go missing.
(But who?)
I have a theory. There is one restaurant that hasn't been afflicted by this decrease. McDonalds.
Wow. That sounds fun.
Look. Unethical or not, we can't afford with gamble with lives. We have to stop this ASAP.
Now then. It's time we take action.

Prototype teleports away. The other three follow suit

---

*So Copy X's "spy drones" have pretty much left me dubious about whether or not a similar retcon will happen in the future, so To clarify: For Team Prototype's Central Station, motion sensors will have intruder figures instantly be scanned no matter what shape or size, and will be locked out by a barrier that instantly recognizes their quantum makeup. All of which will also alert all members of Team Prototype. None of which that happens inside the Central Station can be seen by any method short of 4th Wall Awareness.

iX then somehow snuck in the old western mansion behind lil' miss marshmellow... iX: (Wonder if the residents here don't aprove of miss marshmellows appearence?) He then slowly pulled out a blade only known as... Heliotrope! iX: Lets see if thaf little jorney was worth it...
Heliotrope (Sword) A holy blade usually only wieldable by those of pure heart, or those seeking redemption... it rivals the power of the z-saber, and can compete with beam-type weapons like the X Rapier! Though it shares the same name as the technique it holds...
