(Well this took a while to get to)

Baron turns around, and in a flash, his armor changes from a banana-themed armor to armor themed more after a melon - and said armor comes with a shield.

"Melon Arms! Tenka gomen!"

He uses the shield to block the attacks, and after the barrage is over, he drops the smoking, battered, and thoroughly damaged shield to the ground.

Baron looks at Valeena for a moment. She's clearly still a threat, but...

He sighs before readying for combat.

Gridon nods. "Alright...I can work with that. Okay, so-"

And then he's interrupted by a loud scream, followed by Bravo falling between the group.

"Ugh...that monster has quite a backhand..." Bravo mutters, before looking around him. "So, what's all the commotion about?"

"I - you'll find out soon enough, just ''get back in there and distract him a little longer so that I can explain my plan please!" ''Gridon gestures to Morphos, who is now looking at the group. "Also, when I give the word, restrain his arms."

"Hmmm...sounds easy enough! I'll leave you to your planning, Jonouchi!" And with that, Bravo runs off to resume fighting Morphos.

"Wow. I'm more advanced than a steam train. Clearly a compliment of the highest caliber." Steel deadpans.

Ms. Fortune blinks. "I...okay, I'm starting to see his point. There's clearly some gaps in our general knowledge - we all agree that we've never heard of Alola before, but you three know about this 'Hawaii' place, and we don't. We know about Parasites, and you don't. And apparently before him the most advanced thing you've seen is a steam train, which is like...really? But, point is, there's not really a good explanation for those gaps...alternate realities, maybe?"

"Oh, hey, that's one of the potential options on the list! Want to hear the rest of it?" Steel asks.

"No thanks." Ms. Fortune replies bluntly.

Francisca's face has lit up with glee - genuine glee, partially because she's finally going to get some info (possibly), and because her plan is working. So, right now, she's just putting her efforts into ignoring Grimlock so that she doesn't strangle him.

Meanwhile...

A man with black hair (with a noticeable white stripe going through it) and some sort of labcoat is putting the finishing touches on his latest creation. Not his most polished design - he didn't have a lot to work with - but for his purposes...

He attaches the device to his throat. He coughs, before speaking, a robotic voice replacing his natural one. "Testing, testing, one, two..."

...it'll work. This should bypass that little language barrier issue. And to think that all he had to do was mug some random kid off the street as Duke to snag what he thought was a phone.

Truly, Ryoma Sengoku is an incredible genius.
