Gallade simply nods, salutes to Angela, then Teleports Nathan and himself to Cress!  For expediency's sake, he also picks up Spira soon afterwards, already knowing Terra wasn't going to be showing up.  Spira probably arrives at the scene a little after Nathan does, though, as Nathan's booking it along with Calam (who immediately bursts out of his Ultra Ball once they've Teleported) to the street where Oscar and Kenis' houses used to be as soon as they arrive in Cress (not even making a stop at the Pokemon Center to drop Charizard and Grid off for healing, notably)...Gallade will run alongside Spira all the way to the scene, though! ...partially because Spira wouldn't know where everyone else is headed without someone to guide him there.

Spira is fuming at his inability to get to the scene as fast as he wishes, his gut instinct is screaming that something horrible is about to happen. At this point, I'm assuming Gallade comes by. "Give me a sec to get my party set up, I have a really bad feeling about the destruction in Cress." Spira then runs into the Pokemon Center to adjust his team, then runs back out.

party for Cress disaster

• Toya, holding Charcoal
  
• Noire, holding Spell Tag
  
• Scyther, holding Oran Berry
  
• Beedrill, holding Lum Berry
  
• Hida, holding Magmarizer
  
• D-Lotad, no item 4 now
  

With that, he's ready for Gallade to teleport him to Cress!

Gallade gives Spira a polite nod and waits, though he's impatiently tapping his foot while waiting.  He wants to get there as quickly as possible as well.

As soon as Spira's ready, Gallade Teleports with Spira to the western end of Cress City.  He points in the direction that the destruction is in, then starts heading that way himself.  As stated previously, Gallade will accompany Spira all the way to the scene and not leave him behind. Once they get there, he'll speed to Nathan's side as quickly as he can, though!

Heart smile. "Thank you! Although we still need to work a lot. There still a few combinations we want to try with such amazing ability. I already a time handle his disobedience. I think I capable of handle a bigger dragon. If we luck, we might find a Whisconite in the future. I heard Tandor discover a Mega Stone to Whiscott. Shame a Haxorusnite doesn't exist, but hey a guy can dream right?"

"Our Egg doing okay. Always making the pyre to keep him warm. I have the sacred plants with me, but still need make the pyre of today. Could you help me?"

Hehe, now it's Shiva's and Cottonee's turn to chuckle a bit, mostly due to remembering how playfully 'bad' Koa has behaved when they have met Heart for the first time.When looking at the green dragon now, theare's definitely growth visible not only because of his evolution into a Fraxure! "Yes, I can feel that Koa has a good portion of respect for you. That's certainly something given that he's a Dragon Type. Haxorus are a step higher than that even, you.... you d-don't want to meet a wild one, eeeeeee..." She shivers a bit, but feels confident that Heart will be able to handle it in some way.

The opening of a unique MegaStone for the species of WHIMSICOTT - Now THESE are news for Shiva!! She looks at the PUNisher with the same dafaque-face when Angela opened up that Spira has snatched a Chansey before she did. Cottonee displays a sweet smile and cupped hands with her leaves as if to say 'Gimme that stone please!~' "For reeeal??! I didn't know that! Tandor has some weird and curious things over there, it seems." She smiles however in thanks for the info. "Well, first a sunstone, then a megastone... Maybe if Fortuna's benelovent I'll stumble over one here in Chreshire, haha." If Cottonee's desiring for such a special thing for her, Shiva has a hard time to say no.

Shiva will certainly help Heart with the sacred pyre tonight, and she'll invite Delphox to watch this ritual as well. I've forgotten what the roll for the pyre was though, sorry for that! EDIT: If Shiva's Stats are used it's 6*Insight + 3 Knowledge + 4 Crafts = 13d6, don't have a helping hand in the party at the moment. Before turning in for the night though, Alola Vulpix is given into a Nurse Joy's care until next morning, Shiva wishes the white fox a good and restful night. (Cottonee will heal up via good sleep.)

"Keni? I know him. You're heading that way now? Should I come with?"

She has dropped her habitual mocking tone and is taking this very seriously. "I could go talk to the Rangers and catch up with you."

One of the Corporals recognizes your vague physical similarity to Oscar. He shakes his head and makes the other officers let you approach the crime scene.

"Sorry, kid. No sign of Oscar, if that's who you're looking for. But hey, that might be a good sign, with how destructive this collapse was. A few household Pokemon were killed in the collapse."

Heart and Shiva would probably show up shortly after.

"...coming along might be a good idea, yeah.  Definitely talk to the Rangers first so they don't have to worry about a potential missing person, though.  See ya there, I guess."

--------------------

Nathan gets a little huffy as the officer calls him 'kid'.  He holds up his newly earned Staurolite badge.  "...5 gym badges, including Angela's.  I am not a 'kid', sir."  When Nathan sees Heart and Shiva, he rapidly makes his way over to them.  Calam's still remaining vigilant and close to Nathan.  This situation is raising all sorts of red flags for him...

Nathan immediately bombards Heart with questions, once again a little frantically.  "Heart, what the heck happened?  Any sign of my uncle or Keni? Any idea why this happened?" (@Spiritmon)

You and Geo creep around at night, looking for the sparkle of shiny Pokemon or rare species.

Then there's a popping noise, and the moonlit land sprouts noxious blooms! Five Vileplume surround the two of you, threatening with a variety of smelly status effects.

Angela shows up after about five minutes, teleporting on a Wigglytuff and striding over. She doesn't bother to introduce herself to Heart and she just nods professionally to Shiva.

(....Well, the Dice are certainly giving me the challenge I desire, though I'm not sure if they are being nice about that or not. Oh well, time to play out the Encounter!)

Though he wasn't exactly familiar with the species, Terra was experience enough to know a noxious  Grass types when he sees and smells one, nor does he have to possess Intelligence on Nathan's level to figure out that being surrounded by five was very troubling indeed. His eyes narrowed and his expression went stony as he eyed the 'fragrant' flowers, before he motioned to Geo to his side and spoke in a calm, quiet tone.

"Stay put and safe. Will handle these Grass Types."

He then plucked two Pokeballs from his belt, and in one smooth motion summoning Mikey and Pixie to the vanguard, relaying his orders the second they fully materialized!

"Mikey, bash Grass types with Facade. Pixie, spook them all with Growl, use Iron Defense, and bite all with Super Fang. Protect each other from nasty Moves and Status effect too. Rough them up, but not too much."

Orders: Okay, here's the strategy for this battle -

* Have Michael simply use Facade 4 Times on each Vileplume. He'll be first focusing on a full HP Vileplume to try and get it to - 2 Pain, before moving on to the next freshest target.
* Pixie will Growl at all the ordoriffic opponents (which will result in a - 2 STR Decrease for them all with Intimidate factoring in), then focus on Super Fanging all the Vilplume, using three the first Round. She'll targets the ones at Full HP, move on to the next one with full HP, and repeat until none with max HP are left, at which point she'll start using Faint Attack. 
* If the Vilplume use Sleep Power on Pixie, Mikey will attempt to intercept it, since he's immune to it/being put to Sleep, and if the Vilplume try to use a non-Spread Poison Move or Moonblast, Pixie will Cover her mushroom bro the best she can.
* Terra will attempt to Capture all the Vilplume he can, starting with the ones with - 2 Pain. If Pixie falls asleep, he'll cure her Sleep with a Chesto Berry. He's also holding a Chesto Berry himself, in case they try to pull any fast ones on him!
*Obviously, Terra's partners will Hold Back if their next blow would Faint a target.

That should about do it, so its time to pick some flowers!

Moves

Michael: 4 Actions - Facade X4 (*11D6 Base Damage)
Pixie: 4 Actions - Growl (- 1 STR), Super Fang X3 (- 1 Accuracy, Halve HP of Target)
Conditonal Order: Switch over to Faint Attack once all targets do not have Max HP
Dice Pool: 11D6 (Brawl), 9D6 (Perform [Growl])

Spira, despite being in a hurry, he's the second to last one to the scene. "*huff* *huff* Sorry, it's... been awhile... since I had to run like that." After catching his breath, Spira lets Toya out of his pokeball to see if there is anything that he can pick up on.

If the officers attempt to stop Spira and Gallade from getting closer to the scene, Gallade simply points to themselves, then at Nathan, Heart, Shiva ad Angela to try and indicate that they're with that group.

And if that's still not enough indication, the fact that Nathan immediately notices Gallade's nearby and waves both him and Spira over without hesitation might be enough.

And with that, everyone who can be at the scene is present!  Nathan doesn't ask where Terra is.  If Gallade only brought Spira, then Nathan 100% understands that there must be good reason for that, partially due to the deep bond he has with his best friend.

Gallade, much like Calam, is looking around warily. He doesn't like the look of all this destruction...it's giving him some baaaaad vibes...
