Time blinks several times, showing various landscapes, and finally dumping you out in relatively familiar surroundings! The Route is restored to normal, the mountains are as you recognize them, and the street lights are of modern style. Nathan, your PTC is still glowing with silver light.

When Heart and everyone get the familiar feeling of another lurch he fear they would might go to another timeline, but then he reconized the road, the path, and the apperance of their surroundings. He gasp then say. "We back....?" Heart fall in their knees and yell to all to the four winds. "WE BACK! WOHOOO! BACK TO 2017 BABY!" Heart then begin to kiss the ground like returning home. "Oh ground of 2017, I miss you so much! Dont ever separate from me again old friend." Heart then hug the ground then he jump from the ground and hug everyone in the party. "We back everyone!" Say Heart hugging Shiva then aproaching Nathan. "No more lurchs in time!" Then he proceeds to hug Terra. "No more time travel sheganingas!" Then he jump in true bliss and happiness. "Hahaha! Its awesome to finally be in home! Holy mother of Arceus! We are back! We are back!" He then begin to dance like this.

After his dance perfomance he could see a few campsites. He decided to take a look there.

Your Pokeballs are blinking - but Nathan can see threads emanating to everyone's Pokemon. 

Each of you can choose whether to keep your current massive teams, or to send Pokemon to the PC of three years ago.

Yet again, Terra felt and experienced the sensation of being *LURCHED!* across the space-time continuem, and found himself standing in an almost uncannily familar looking Route 13. Before he had time to process why everything looked that way, Heart beat him to the punch with his excited proclamation, before startling him with a rather forward hug from the collector. Predictably, the steely brawler startled at the unexpected contact, backpedaling a bit and his expression one of marked discomfort and awkwardness as he looked at the man invading his personal space.

Thankfully, he was promptly freed from their embrace in short time as they continued their celebration, letting out a *Sigh* of relief and smiling to himself as he pondered their words. 

'We are back in own time? At last? Good, very good......hrmm?'

Of course, Shiva's own assessment both his and the pun lover's trains of thought, causing him to don a look of blinking dull surprise before shrugging it off, while they.... didn't take the news so well. Once the sagely monk recovered, he would have gone over to help them up, placing a hand on their shoulder in comfort afterwards as he looked at them re-assuredly.

"Be well, Heart. We may not be back in our own time, but we almost are. Will get back soon, I think, so don't.....be sad and worried, my friend."

For @Spiritmon 's shake, if they told them/the group he was going to search/excavate around that now ancient camping site, Terra would have offered to lend them Angie in exchange for one of their Pokemon, since she knows Dig and its well suited to such things. Anything to help out a good friend, yeah!

As for what he decided to do in the meantime before the next *LURCH!* (For he grown to expect one to happen every so often now), he first checked that everyone else was doing okay/not about to do something not okay, which they were/were not......for the most part. Spira going to investigate Sableyes and the crash site elicited a sharp frown and a shudder of fear from the mountainous man as he started at it, all the while unconsciously back away from the gem eyed fiend and looking this way and that for any avenues that would put him far away from it.

'No.......no, not one of them. *Shivers* Need to......get away from it. Avoid it, not think about it. Fast.'

Blessidly, an golden opportunity presented itself as he spotted what looked to be Medichan meditating on a high peak overlooking the Ancient Campsite, and wasted zero time in going over their with uncharacteristic haste. Normally he'd be all too keen to go meet/battle/capture a Pokemon native to his homelands, especially one of such reputable POWER, but now he had added urgency to speed him along the way as he tried to put as much distance between him and Sableyes as possible. All WITHOUT abandoning the group too, of course.

Terra wasn't a coward, but their are some things even he wants nothing to do with. At all.

Orders: Go up to meet with Medichan on the peak! Terra still has the Climbing Gear Nathan bought him in Cress and Lovely assistance to act as a living rope, so getting to the OG Psychic Fighter won't be a problem! Time to introduce the Sagely Monk to the Hugely Powerfully Pokemon!

As for the whole Blinking Pokeballs , he takes Nathan's advice and doesn't send any of his Pokemon on him back to the PC, as the more partners on him, the merrier, and he doesn't want to risk losing ANY of them through PC/Time Shenanigans!
