Alright then.
lolI ref after surprisingly not being bugged
"So Juvia's down? My turn to knock this Aurorus over I guess."
Meanwhile, one of the Scientist had to take a leak, so she stepped out of the lab and went to the restroom through the bay corridor.
"Wait, what's that smoke column over there?"
"Wait, how did Laxus-? It's my turn already?!"
".. Did you guys just broke the fourth wall?"
And then a CRASH!! sounded from the wall behind everyone. Fearing that the wall has indeed collapased, everyone in the lab turned towards the source, only to find a scientist panting beside a thrown open door.
"Miss Van Houten, this is bad!! A forest fire is spotted about five hundred meters from here!"
"How did it spread so fast-?"
"I dunno!! I was out to the washroom, and then I thought I saw a smoke column, but then I blink and it's there! Just right there!"
"Start the evacuation people! Get all the necessary data and get out of here-"
"Hold on! I'm not letting this end our fight!"
"Little miss, please, now's not the time. We need to get to a safer place-"
"Oh no, don't give me that! You guys said we were here to test the Stones, right? The monk over there hadn't even started using his!"
"Perhaps Miss Lad is right. A field test is exactly what we'll need to prove that these items are safe for extreme environments. How about we adjourn the battle to the fire site?"
"... I see we have no choice. Very well, at least we'll be close enough to help put out the fire."
"Little miss, please, now's not the time. We need to get to a safer place-"
"Oh no, don't give me that! You guys said we were here to test the Stones, right? The monk over there hadn't even started using his!"
"Perhaps Miss Lad is right. A field test is exactly what we'll need to prove zhat these items are safe, even for extreme environments. How about we adjourn the battle to the fire site?"
"Cana, retreat, and go join the rest. Lucy-"
"I know. If we're going to stop this fire before it can do any more damage-"
"- We have to end this as soon as possible."
"Throw me over to the fire so I can Mud Shot?"
".... Thanks for helping."
"Anything to help you and your friends, milady."
"I'll uh, try not to make you land too hard."
"Not fast enough, there are Pokemon and people in danger-"
"Not. Fast. Enough!!"
<"Lucy, calm down.">
"Uh oh, I think it iz reacting too much to the Mega Stone!"
What happens after the battle said:Unknown to Elise, one of her business rival - or partner, as he would call himself - is observing the whole battle in disguise, believing that this "field test" is conducted by Trainers under her employment.
"Hmm, yes.... He would make a good choice."
"Sir, I must ask - why do you insist on doing this yourself? We could have just enlisted Detective Roger's acquaintances and be done with it-"
"No, Harvey. His agency may be good at gathering intel, but this is not just a simple database-trawling background check. And no one in his agency has the capabilities to face up against HaRP in a confrontation."
"But to enlist Mnemonikos' employed Trainers would mean-"
"Precisely. Either van Houten knows of this and approves in discreet, or she does not know of this and will be forced to take her stand. And knowing her, she'd rather maintain her independence than be bought out by HaRP, thus giving us an ally. Either way, we win. Have you found out about this monk?"
"Yessir. It appears that the monastery he lives in is not far from here, and they operate somewhat like Detective Rogers' agency."
"Good. Make sure our hands look clean of this."
