This fic is almost a completely crack snippet collection, created due to a hypothetical question posed in a Discord I'm in, while I was very bored and chatting to some other people in there, who were mildly bored and thought this would be funny, so here we are! Enjoy yourselves, folks.

A Shadow, an Eon, and a Worm 1.

Arrival.

A hoop appeared in mid-air, purple mist rippling within. A small red and white fox jumped out, looking around with intrigue in its brown eyes, while a taller white fox followed it, looking mildly exasperated and amused in equal doses.

"This looks cool!" The little fox said, in a feminine voice. "Thanks, Hoopla!"

"Hoopa, Shadow." The elder one groaned. "Hoopa."

"Hoopla, Hoopa, it's the same thing. He doesn't mind." Shadow grinned as the ring-portal closed. The little purple scarf around her neck fluttered slightly along her back as she began running around in circles, desperate to sniff at everything. "This is really cool, though, Eon! Really cool!"

"You've said, Shadow." Eon sighed, twitching his tails. Little blue spots shimmered at the end as he began moving after her. "Now, what do you want to do?"

"Dunno." She said, crouching. Making a careful leap, she landed on top of a nearby dumpster, using it as a vantage point to look around. "Whadda you want?"

Eon sighed again. This'll be a long trip. With some careful movements of his own, the Ninetales ended up next to the young Vulpix, looking about them himself. "We should probably just look around this city we're in first."

"Alright!" Making another jump, she found herself caught in mid-air by a pink glow.

"Shadow." Eon sighed again. "Illusions, remember?"

"Oops." She blushed slightly. "Sorry." Waving his tails, the pair of vulpines rippled, replaced by a girl in a dress and leggings, and a boy with jeans and a t-shirt. With a frown, Shadow focused her own budding powers, making a hat and dropping it on her head. "Now c'mon! I wanna see what's going on here!"

"Just don't get lost, Shadow." The older fox said, as the younger ran off through an alleyway. "Silly kit…"

"Ooh!" Shadow perked up slightly. "I think there's something happening over there!"

"Where?" Eon looked sideways at her, glad she'd finally slowed down. It's like she's on a permanent sugar rush…

"Thataway, I think." She hummed, pointing with one hand in the vague direction of a slum. "I can feel it." Nodding, Eon guided the female towards another alley, and the illusion of two humans shattered.

"Stay still." He told her, waving his tails again. Light shimmered along both their furs for a moment, then the fox coughed. "Invisible now. Got it down a bit ago."

"Sweet!" The Vulpix grinned widely. "C'mon, I wanna go see what I'm feeling!" The smaller fox ran ahead, jumping lithely over bins in the way, while the larger evolved form made his way along more carefully and slowly, sometimes landing on the bins as he went over them.

The little fox's nose twitched, and Eon frowned. "Feels like fire."

"Yeah!" She agreed. "That's what I thought, but I wasn't too sure."

"'s fire." The Ninetales nodded. "Good job, pix."

"Thanks!" For a moment, she was happy to sit there and absorb the praise, then she frowned. "Should we go try and help? Someone might get hurt." Eon smiled at her.

"Be careful, Shadow." He told her. "Don't get hurt."

"M'kay!" She bounced quickly off and out of the alleyway, then froze and stared. "Whoa. Bugs."

"Hm?" Eon made his way over to her, peering over her head. "Hm. That's a lotta bugs."

"Should we burn them?" Shadow asked, twisting her head. "They're stinging at the fire dragon." She frowned further, her scarf rippling. "Is it a Charizard?"

"No." He replied. "Not a Charizard. They're not around here, remember." The Ninetales thought for a moment, then sniffed. "Think there's more people here."

"Oh!" Shadow perked up. "I'll go ask them what's happening!"

"Shadow-!" Eon called, feeling the invisibility break as she scrambled up a wall with her claws. "Oh, for…" He groaned.

"Bug girl's not doing too well." Alec commented. "Think we should help?"

"She is defending us, from what Tattletale said." Brian nodded. "Bitch, get your dogs-"

"Hi!"

"Ready?" He trailed off, all four of them whirling around to face the new arrival-

"What?" Lisa said.

"Hi?" The small red fox said again, a little more unsurely. She pawed at her purple scarf. "You can understand me, right? Hoopla said you would, but he's tricky."

"No, we understand you." Brian answered, apparently automatically, while the others gaped.

"Oh, good!" She grinned widely. "So, hi! Mind telling me what's going on down there?" Lisa blinked.

Is a Vulpix.

Came from elsewhere.

Hoopla out-of-context, unknown.

Hoopla likely a nickname; tone and inflection.

'Hoopla' brought her here.

Curious; saw fight below, wants to help.

Doesn't want to join in without knowing what's happening.

Vulpix-

Lisa winced as her power errored out on her.

"Bug girl down there picked a fight with Lung," Alec told her, waving towards the ground. "No idea why, and she's not doing too hot."

"Why not?" The Vulpix asked. "There's plenty of fire down there- oh, that was a pun, wasn't it?" Her tone suddenly showed understanding. "I see. My friend does a lot of those." The red fox pattered over to them, the Undersiders drawing back as she did, to look over the edge. "So, the Charizard down there's a bad guy?"

"Yes?" Brian tried, sounding confused.

Charizard is another creature like her.

She knows some, is familiar with it.

Charizard-

Again, Lisa's power cut out, and the Vulpix nodded.

"Alright, good." Taking the end of her scarf in her mouth, she pulled, undoing it, then throwing it towards Lisa in a little pink grip. The Thinker automatically caught it, and the vulpine creature crouched. "Hold onto that for me, please? It's kinda important to me." Absently, Lisa nodded, and she grinned, widely and fanged-ly, in response. "Nice." A jump later, and the female fox was on the ground between Lung and the new Cape, six tails billowing out behind her. "Hey, Charizard guy!"

The audacity of the shout, along with the surprise of a two-foot tall fox appearing from the rooftops and yelling at him, made Lung pause, incredulous, while the bug girl just froze. "Hi! Please stop being mean to Ms Bug Lady, for me? It's not very nice to try and set someone on fire, even if they'll get better after it." The innocence and childishness of the tone made Lisa gape.

Lung growled out something unintelligible, making the Vulpix cock her head. "Sorry, Mr Charizard guy, but I didn't understand that. Which is weird, since I should understand you even if most the human-people don't." A long, drawn-out sigh made Lisa look automatically to the side, completely out of both awe and confusion from the ongoing situation, and watch the three and a half feet tall white-grey fox join them at the edge of the roof.

"Pix, he's not a Charizard." The male called down, making them all look towards him. "You won't understand him anyway."

"Ooooh…" The Vulpix said slowly. "That makes sense. Alright. Hey, Ms Bug Lady?" She continued, turning to the new Cape. "Could you get away from here a bit, please? I don't want you to get hurt."

"Just a minute." Flexing his tails, the new arrival overrode whatever the insect controller was about to say, his eyes glowing the same light pink the scarf had. The same glow surrounded the Cape, lifting her slowly into the air. She squeaked, then went perfectly still as they all watched her float over to the rooftop, being placed gently next to them. "There we go."

"Who are you?" Lisa finally asked, breaking through her confused daze.

"Hm? Oh, sorry. Eon, and the little vixen is Shadow." He greeted them, offering her a paw like a dog would. The feeling of unreality returning, she shook it, and he grinned. "Sorry about her, she's enthusiastic." The dry tone made her chuckle, and the new Cape did the same, before wincing. "You ok?"

"Just a few burns." She shrugged slightly. "I'll be fine." Eon looked at her sceptically, then looked back at a crash from the group.

Shadow landed lightly a few feet from a thrown dumpster, and turned her head to look at it. "Um, I don't think that's allowed, Mr Dragon Guy. I don't think that's a move, anyway." She cocked her head again. "Then again, I think Hoopla-"

"Hoopa!" Eon shouted, in the tone of someone who didn't know why they were bothering.

Lisa knew it quite well, after dealing with Alec for over a year.

"-Said you human types work on weird battle rules." Shadow continued, completely ignoring her companion. "So I guess it's ok." Lung roared, breathing fire across the little fox. Some of the Undersiders gasped in shock, and the bugs around the area buzzed violently, until the red flames died down.

"Hey!" Shadow yelled. "That's a bit mean. Anyway, thanks for that. I guess I can forgive you for being rude if you're gonna boost me." She twitched. "Wonder if you have Flash Fire as well?" Lisa gaped, while Eon sighed again.

"Shadow, they don't have any of the same battle rules as we do." He told her. "No turns, no announcements, no Moves and no Abilities." While Lisa tried to figure out why she could here capitals on some of those words, Shadow looked up.

"That's a Move, though." She pointed. "Or is it just something that looks like a Move?"

"It just looks like one, Shadow." Eon said. "And you don't need to do announcements here either."

"Really?" Lisa blinked, shaking her head to get rid of the growing headache- one that, for once, had very little to do with her powers.

I can't tell if it's the fire, or her eyes are actually sparkling…

"Really. We do it at home for courtesy." Eon shrugged, lying down in a ripple of white fur and long tails. "No need here."

"Awesome." The word rumbled across the area as Shadow turned back, crouching slightly as if she were about to lunge. "Alright, Mr Dragon Guy, let's go!"

So, yeah. This is going to be sporadic, but it's the first step into finding my motivation for writing Pokemon again. Everything kinda got put on hold because of school, then a couple of new fandoms- Worm among them- kinda kidnapped me and held my inspiration for ransom, so I was writing other stuff. Did some Worm omakes, and I'll be back to working on Pokemon again soon.

Anyway, to explain, Eon is based off of someone else in the Discord, who kinda provided a lot of the inspiration, Shadow's my sort-of insert fox, and they came from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, with some anime rules mixed in. No move limit, they speak English, got to Earth Bet via Hoopa Shadow made friends with by accident, and will now proceed to run about and do stupid things to the Worm-verse. Yay!

Have a good time, all!
