Sloane Jackson & Azlan- Human & Azelf Gijinka
Slateport City, Hoenn
Affected RPers: @Neo Emolga

Sloane noticed how troubled everyone looked by the recent developments. She wouldn't deny she felt somewhat troubled as well, with the Trick Master’s influence constantly fighting for dominance inside her head. But she had to stay positive! It's what Dylan would want her to do. After all, Sloane was the optimistic of the couple.

“Azlan, is something the matter?” Sloane asked. Azlan cast a side glance before returning his gaze to the ground. Sloane took that as a yes. Was it possible something had happened to one or both of his siblings. Sloane noticed Azlan perk up and look over at one of the Bellossom with interest. She had seen them all conversing quite a bit lately but had no idea what they were saying, which irritated her. She wanted to be included but had no idea how to insert herself in.

“Wait, Bellossom what do you-” Azlan stopped when he realized Jonathan had already made up his mind. He took a deep breath and sighed. If this was what he wished, then so be it. Azlan saw no reason to stop him other than it might upset Sloane, but Azlan could take the heat for that if it came to that. Azlan watched as the Bellossom began to speak to the others. Suddenly the Trick Master’s voice came booming out, making Sloane jump. A look of confusion spread across her face when he referred to the Bellossom as Jonathan, until the realization hit her. She stared at Jonathan then jumped out at him.

“No! Jonathan, no, don’t leave me!” She tried to grab onto him but he was gone before he could get him. Sloane felt tears rush to her eyes. “Jonathan… no…” Azlan started to move beside her when a voice called out.

“Sloane!”

Dylan Thomas & Fox Oleander -Ghost Boy & Ghost Mermaid
Slateport City
Affected RPers: N/A

Dylan and Fox had seen the collapse of Slateport, causing them to double their efforts towards the city. They had to see if there were any survivors in the area. Moving much quicker than before, the two swished through the air, dodging the people and pokemon that were fleeing the wreckage. It was then that Fox spotted a group huddled nearby and the braid was unmistakable.

“Dylan! Dylan, look over there!” Dylan shifted his attention to the direction Fox was pointing. His eyes widened when he saw Sloane’s braid. He didn’t waste a second, shooting off towards her.

“Sloane!” Sloane looked up only to be tackled by Dylan in a hug. “You’re okay! Oh my Arceus, you have no idea how worried I was.” Sloane sniffed and hugged Dylan back tightly.

“Dylan,” she whimpered, “I missed you! You’re alive. You’re okay. Thank the heavens.” The two held each other close for a few minutes, whispering quietly when Sloane suddenly gasped and her eyes became unfocused. Dylan pulled back slightly then glanced down and swore.

“Damn it! Sloane, don’t do this! I just got you back! I’m not letting you go that easily!” Dylan reached around Sloane, pulling a knife from her back, then plunged it into his own chest. They both collapsed into the cotton candy snow, fingers barely touching as they bled out. Their bodies disintegrated, the ashes blowing away with the wind.

Madder Hatter-Human

Affected RPers: Neo Emolga

“Tsk, tsk. Young love is so temperamental,” Madder said to no one in particular as he retrieved his knife. Dylan and Sloane’s blood were still on the blade, trickling down to the hilt as Madder examined it. “Oh well, I wish them the best of fortune. May they end up together after their long due separation. Blah blah.” Madder glanced over to Azlan and the two bellossom. “Oh? And what have we here? You’re that hybrid from earlier, aren’t you? And more fresh meat, it seems. Good, I will enjoy carving out your corpses!”

Sloane Jackson and Dylan Thomas- Nidorina and Nidorino
Hoenn Safari Zone
Affected RPers: @Shenili

“Ngh… Dylan?” Sloane rubbed her eyes as she tried to sit up. She felt awkwardly shaped, like the body wasn’t meant to fit her. She glanced down at her hands and gasped. “This… this isn’t right!” Sloane looked around before spotting a Nidorino that was unconscious. She ran over to it and gently shook him. “Hey… wake up! Come on!” The Nidorino groaned and looked up.

“Sloane? Is that you?” he asked.

“Yeah! It’s me! Dylan?”

“In the flesh and blood.” Sloane sighed with relief then looked around. Exactly where were they?
