56th Transformation [FOURTH WALL]
[A: Cycling Road]
[Envy hasn't been having a bad time of it, all things considered. He's been teleporting around, but honestly he's almost used to that by now, and he's got his powers back! That's always a plus. Usually when incredibly inconvenient shit happens, it's right off the bat. Right?]
[Not right. Not right at all. It's late afternoon, around the fourth or fifth time Envy's winked out of existence and appeared somewhere else. This time, he doesn't recognize where he is. He's on some kind of wide, flat, steep as hell road surrounded by ocean. And he gets exactly five seconds to look around before he hears the sound of his oncoming doom. Doom sounds a whole lot like a whole lot of wheels on pavement. Apparently, today sounded like a good day for half the cyclists in existence to have a marathon race down Cycling Road.]
[If Envy didn't have his superpowers, he would have had a not fun time getting run over. But since he does have them, he's able to leap twenty feet in the air like the world's most startled cat, and thank goodness there's a big metal support arch there for him to grab onto and haul himself on top of.]
[The cyclists just keep on coming, not in quite such a wave as the minutes pass, but there are still way too many for him to jump down or try to get off the main path. Yeah, he'll be staying up here for a little while. And the longer he does, the more he's deciding on how best to knock over the most bicycles in one go.]
[B: Anywhere]
[Envy can be found just about anywhere, but since this is one of the few times a year he gets to use his powers, he might not look like himself. If anyone watches him walk down the street or route for long enough, they'll probably see him glow bright white and suddenly look like a totally different person mid-stride. He's also up for some gratuitous property destruction any time for any reason at all.]
[There's also some things following him, which he's very deliberately ignoring. They look like…floating tree stumps? There's a few of them, peeking up behind trash bins and lampposts, staying mostly out of sight.]

[Fortunately, Zoroark manes are designed for carrying smaller Pokemon around in them in times of danger, so even when Henry lets go it shouldn't be too hard to stay on.]
[The Cubone looks up when Henry stops batting it, and...the silly face seems to be working! It at least surprised the baby enough that it stops outright wailing. There are still tears and sniffles, but it's staring intently at Henry now.]

[He folds his ears down over his face.]
Where did-ahh! Where did Henry go? There he is! Please be impressed, I'm not a wizard!

[And that's about when Envy finally spots somewhere they might be able to hide for two seconds. He's found a corner of the tower, where there's a big cluster of gravestones set just far enough from the wall that there's space for them. He skids into it and crouches down, glancing all around for any ghosts that might have seen where they went. The Cubone takes the opportunity to scramble up into his mane completely. Envy scowls over his shoulder at it.]
What does it even want?
no subject
If I...remember right. One of the ghosts here is its, uh, mother. It's a baby. It must be looking for her...
