Team Snagem HQ (Mt. Silver)

"To make a long and overly flamboyant message short, Countess Pump says the gateway you closed is in flux currently. She doesn't think it will open up on its own any time soon but she is worried that if anyone wanted to they could easily open it back up right now. She has some of her 'minions', as she calls them, keeping an eye on it but just thought she should give us, and you in particular, a heads up just in case anything does happen. Again, she stresses that it should be fine as long as it's left alone. And that's the short version of her message. That woman is clearly royalty, what with how much she likes to talk and include unnecessary adjectives." GRAY explained to Odd.

Odd really froze this time. "That portal shouldn't be able to reopen at all. I barely escaped from the Otherworld when I sealed it." He said to himself. Something was off here. It had to be. "Let Sub know I'm going to check up on the Lost Hotel and I should be back soon." He told the AI as he dried his hands. Heading off to his room, he grabbed a full team of his Pokemon and called for Claydol to Teleport him off to Kalos as quickly as possible. Whatever happened to planning?

Albeit slightly delayed, a message would come to everyone's SNAGs, explaining the growths that had been observed recently.

Things seemed to be quiet following Odd's departure. The members within the HQ appeared to simply go about their business as usual, unaware of what might've been going on elsewhere. For others, what was going on outside of the HQ were both very different and very much real. For someone like Amaranth, it was just plain confusing. She was wondering why things had been so quiet, only to suddenly see a message come to her SNAG.

"Track a SNAG... help? Huh?"

Everyone else's SNAGs would see a message arrive as well, showing the same thing across its screen:

"Track my SNAG. I'm in trouble. Help!"

Unsure of how many were ambling around in the HQ, Amaranth tried to set up the tracking features of her own SNAG, wondering if she was the only recipient. And, if so, why her?

Meanwhile...

Requiem of Whyspers

The empty air of the abandoned Thrifty Megamart in Alola rippled silently, a strange sort of presence disrupting the normal flow of things. None of the wild Pokemon or the strange young men and women in the building noticed it right away, leaving the disturbance to continue growing. Eventually, however, someone did notice. Not the rippling of the empty space but the young man lying on the ground, battered and bruised, in front of it. “What da heck?”

It wasn’t long before the young man was dragged away by two of the larger ones, still unconscious. A little while later, a message would come through the SNAGs of all active Snagems.

The message would show it had come from the team’s resident Dyslexic. Whatever was going on, it had been desperate enough that he’d been forced to try and spell out a message instead of having GRAY relay a information for him.

[Arkelos]

"Alright boys and girls, it looks like a we have someone that needs our help. Let's get to the common area to see if anyone else has gotten the same message. I wonder what happened. We'll find out soon enough. Race yall to the main area. MARK! GET SET!..... GO GO GO!"

The group of Canines all charged down the hallway in some friendly competition. "Right, let's not repeat out last race. Doesnt seem like hardly anyone noticed the mess, but let's not this time." Everyone barked in agreement, Abra made the statement, "Yes sir." The group got hypes at the race continued.

A few moments later, everyone arrived in the common room. "Great job, if i saw everyone correctly, Rockruff came in first, Growlithe and Houndour tied for second, Poochyena in third, Furfrou placed..." Arkelos turned around to see Furfrou gracefully walking up behind. "...Ah there you are. Your fur is getting long. I think it's time for a bath, trim, and groom." Furfrou jumped up in a shocked manner. and started to hide. "I won't be doing it this time, i promise you'll get professional assistance this time." After making comment, Furfrou came out of hiding. "Okay that's everyone. Now yall rest while i figure out what's going on." Arkelos walked over to GRAY. "Requesting additional information on recent Snag Message please."

Silver would be woken up by his SNAG making noises at him. More specifically, the text-to-speech function reading out the message from Odd. The Houndoom hybrid would lift himself off his bed, rubbing at his scarred eyes. Normally, the hybrid wouldn't have bothered with whatever message had been received until he was more awake, but, the fact that it had read out the message immediately instead of simply beeping a couple times to let him know the message existed meant this must be pretty important. The hybrid would follow his usual path to the lobby of HQ, hearing the voices of some of his teammates.

"Oh, you're awake Silver. I wasn't sure if I should come get you," Lynnette would say, glad that she wasn't required to wake the sleepy, and most likely hungover hybrid. Silver would snort in response, clearly not totally awake yet. "I just hope this is important," the hybrid would say, his ears perking up slightly to listen for anything the others might be saying about the situation.  

[Darksol88]

For those that managed to get their SNAG to track the message, they'd find that it was indeed coming from somewhere in Alola, around Ula'ula Island. Even odder, it looked to be coming from a supermarket of some sort, though given the team's penchant for oddities, perhaps this wasn't quite as unusual as the first glance might feel.

Amaranth would at least get the idea to try and get there, though she'd stop before leaving the HQ after remembering how Alola wasn't exactly keen on people using their own Pokemon to get around. Instead, the SNAGs would ring with a collective sigh from GRAY before having Claydol appear and be ready to teleport everyone over.  

[Darksol88]

Oddly enough, despite the others currently being out and about, a message would come to their SNAGs to be seen at the earliest convenience to give what growth had been seen prior to their departure.

"What's that sound?" Odd asked as he walked through HQ. He still sounded a bit upset over recent events, himself. The only person besides himself that knew about what had happened to him so far was Lykas and he wasn't being much help. Instead of trying to help him find Dull, LYkas was telling him that what had happened was his own fault for not asking for help and trying to fight him on his own.

In spite of that and his irritation with it, Odd was still more concerned with the others than the bruises all over his body and his aching face. Was he even sure his nose really wasn't broken? He made a mental note to go see Doc about later. The whole time he was thinking about his problems, he was trying to find the sound he kept hearing until he finally traced it to the bedrooms.

Keiko might hear a soft knock at her door, provided she wasn't being too loud. "Are you alright?"

Odd stepped back when he heard footsteps inside, though he'd been moments from walking away entirely when he heard them. "..." He listened to Keiko's sniffling and shook his head at her, denying her any sort of belief. "You're a terrible liar, you know." He pointed out, leaning on his shoulder against the door frame and setting his own concerns aside for now. "Need someone to talk to?" He voice and his face both noticeably softened, though the Channeler's face still looked a bit crooked despite that.
