Subject: What do you mean, "if they have the time"?

I mean, it isn't as though vacations don't exist, but they're usually only awarded after something traumatizing(moreso than usual, anyway) happens to the agent team in question, or if the Flowers want the Agents out of their trichomes for whatever reason. Would the three of them just leave HQ during downtime and head to the Pokémon continuum? Because there are rules against trans-continuum travel that restrict legal use of same mostly to PPC business(missions, scouting, collecting stuff for the Cafeteria, etcetera) or disposal of problems, unless returning to a native continuum regularly is necessary for an Agent to not die or something. Or were you talking about a slightly different scenario?

Also, the Homestuck cherub is going to be not only in your agent team, but also within the Pokémon continuum? That... doesn't really fit. I have no idea how the magical girl operates, since I don't know the Mew Mew continuum, so she might be able to suppress her abilities or something of the sort, but the cherub would not only be obviously non-human, since the disguises can only alter physical appearance and do not change attitudes or behavior, but would have no real reason to go on a Pokémon journey. Cherubs are solitary creatures by nature, most of the time, and usually only interact with others when they need to mate or in desperate cases like Calliope's. Interacting with the other agents would probably be just about all one could handle without getting tetchy and withdrawn, and having a horde of animals bursting from small spheres in one's belt and interacting with your cherub agent would probably freak him out. Pokémon trainers go on their journeys to fulfill specific goals, many of them involving growing closer to one's Pokémon and allowing those Pokémon to grow stronger. A cherub would not treat it like that, which would in a decent-case scenario leave him constantly uncomfortable but unwilling to say anything, in a worse-than-that-case scenario increase his apparent non-humanness to the others in the continuum as well as turning the whole Pokémon-training business into an absolute chore, and in a worst-case scenario, lead to him snapping, fleeing from the established dwelling places of sapient beings, and needing to be brought in by the DIA to prevent contamination of the continuum when the Ironic Overpower inevitably cracks its knuckles and short-circuits the cherub's D.O.R.K.S., dispelling the disguise or altering it to something non-native.

So, yeah, all in all, it wouldn't be the best of ideas to involve him in this.
