"Da da daaa.... TERRASTALIZE!"

The vendors at the trading post outside the Wanted Board stared with open mouths as Yggy's Dewott glowed with the light of a billion, billion gems. It shone unnaturally out of her fur as she became faceted like a crystal vase, the shape swirling together to form a ginormous diamond between the otter's furry black ears. Wacky music played in the background. It was objectively absurd, but Yggy whooped and jumped for joy, pumping one fist in the air. "YEAH! That's awesome, Raine! Oh man, we're gonna look so cool at the raid in front of everyone."

<It's not as heavy as it looks,> said Raine, tipping her head back and forth experimentally. She showed no signs of feeling the gigantic weight obviously on her head - it was just a cosmetic change, not a physical one. <Don't you think Zapdos will... well, it'll catch his attention, won't it?>

"Yeah! Cool, huh? He won't be able to ignore us!" Yggy grinned, looking around. "Aw man, now I need to do something with your old seal though..." Previously, the Dewott had been equipped with a Noonlight Seal, but Yggy was over all that sooty and autumny stuff. Sparkly stuff was totally in!

<I'm a little worried,> Raine emphasized, falling into step with Yggy with her giant sparkly hat still throwing off gaudy rainbows. <I don't have any supereffective moves going into the battle. I'm not sure I'll be much help.>

"Aw, don't worry about that stuff! I'm the trainer, so I'll take care of you," Yggy said, giving the otter a big thumbs-up. "We don't have to do a lot of damage, we just have to look cool." Seeing Raine frown, she walked it back quickly. "I mean, it's all about working together, right? Everyone's gonna be trying their best, so it's not like we have to carry the whole raid! Haha." Her starter's rising fur laid down again as she seemed to relax.

She's not my starter.

...Right. She'd started the game with an Oshawott, but it wasn't Raine. That Oshawott had been named Watson. He'd been... gone for a long time now.

When am I going to go back to the Everworld and face Seta?

Soon, Yggy promised herself. After the raid.

Meanwhile, she typed out a message on Global Chat.
