ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Still Somewhere in Holon

Des is relaxing in a deck chair on a balcony. He's currently catching up on what his friends have been doing through the Fourth Wall.

"Man I'm glad I'm far away from all the teen angst."

He looks out and sees a flock of Pidgey shoot Thunderbolts at a swarm of metal Beedrill.

"Holon, you are somethin' else..."

He opens up Chatterand makes a post.

"Ha, Social networkin'..."

Opelucid City

Edge: <Does she really need you? What have you done besides being cutsy and kind and being supportive in thought only? What have you actually done to help significantly?>

-Laughs- <And anyways, is it really natural? She's the only family you have left by your own hand. Even if you don't consciously think about it, it's always there.> -Taps the side of his head with his index finger-

<And you don't want anyone getting hurt?! HAH! You've got mopy McFailurepants with an inferiority complex big enough to collapse in on itself and make a black hole, who keeps getting hurt because he shoves his head into the ground whenever he's challeneged.>

<You've got scar face who can't even tolerate it when someone makes a sideways comment about how he almost killed you and blows up when people threaten his 'superiority'.>

<You've got Zeal, and I don't even know what's wrong with this whackjob. Is he a troll? A depressed boy wanting to avoid the past? A homicidal manic? Dear Arceus psychologists would name a MONTH after him! You weren't even there to help him when he nearly commmitted suicide!>

<THEN you have Lyuri who couldn't even keep her own Pokemon in line, and is now stressed out about this weird interspecies thing she's got going on. And that's not even half of you! And you've done nothing! You try to help but you end up being useless! How do you expect to keep people from being hurt when all you do is wear your stupid false smile and mess up?>

Dogs: If you want Joseph and/or some of his team to take part in the Eversion homage, they could have gotten sucked in with the rest and now be on the purple platform structure. Otherwise, he's probably still in Humilau.

Or both? And am I in Pokeform in the Dream World?

Humans turn into Pokemon in the Dream World, yeah. But what do you mean by "Or both?"

Am I in the real and Dream World?

One or the other.

Route 22

-Straw spots a trio of Lunatone forming a face-

Misery:<What.>

Lunatone Face:<BEGONE PREDATOR!>

...That's not threatening. Just weird.

Lunatone Eye 1:<Told you so.>

Lunatone Mouth:<Shut it.>

-They leave-

Misery:<So, what else is there here besides weirdo moon rocks?>

-shrugs-

I've never been up here.

Aurora:<Seems a bit hilly here.>

-Caliburn perches on a high point-

Caliburn:<It looks like it connects to Giant Chasm.>

Huh.

Got it. Also, my Pokeform is different from what it was on April Fool's Day.

-a Riolu is on the purple platform with the others-

-Scarlett and Nightshade are with him-

Humilau

Diesel: <I dunno...talk more? Smile more? Don't make cryptic and vaguely threatening statements?>

Dream World, purple platform structure

-Mezzo notices Joseph, Scarlett, and Nightshade-

<Where did you come from?>

I am as confused as you are.

Humilau

Glöckchen: <Hm...>

<I'll try smiling.>

-Glöckchen stretches her mouth as wide as she can and gives a toothy smile, the rest of her expression changing as little as possible-

Dream World, purple platform structure

<Did you get sucked in through the rift?>

-meanwhile, the sky has once again darkened, and the platforms have turned to blue-

Humilau

Diesel: <...Never mind. Please don't ever smile again.>

Blue Platform Structure

-Slashkreyd notes the sky has become darker-

Slashkreyd: <Hope rain isn't coming.>

Humilau

Glöckchen: <Alright.>

-She rings her bell and returns her expression to normal-

Dream World, blue platform structure

Electro: <Rain? No worries, I can handle that!>

Leaflet: <Uh, sis, he said he didn't want rain. And I kind of agree.>

Vaporeon: <Blue. Really? Why blue of all colors?>

Opelucid

"I... I... That's... That's not true! It's not..." said Sakura, at this time even her was able to decide whether he was right or wrong, she stumbled a bit and leaned against a nearby wall, looking as if she was about to cry, she then picked a Pokéball from her bag and called Hercules out "No... I'm not going to let you put me down like this, you just enjoy tormeting people don't you?" she asked, now glaring at Edge again, but still seemed like she was about to cry.

"<It's that guy again? Then it's time for some punishment?>" asked Hercules, looking ready and with a confident smile.

"Even if some, if not most times I can't help people with their problems, at least I'm trying instead of just harming them further like you do! Hercules, Megahorn!" said Sakura, now with a much more fierce expression.

Hercules then rushed at Edge, trying to strike him with his horn.

Butterscotch? Why are you a Vaporeon?

Dream World, blue platform structure

Vaporeon: <Because I am.>

...no, you're a Zoroark.

Scarlett: I get the feeling that having two Grass-types with you isn't the best.

Dream World, blue platform structure

Rain: -does not ensue-

Diglett: -definitely ensue. Strangely, they're now wearing red suits that cover everything but their face-

<...You do know you guys look absurd, right?>

Diglett #1: <Diglettland for the Diglett!>

<What.>

Humilau

Diesel: <Okay...try to ring your bell happily.>

Who the bloody hell are these?

-Scarlett and Nightshade ready themselves-

Opelucid City

Edge: -Grabs Hercules by the middle of his horn as he's charging- <A valliant effort, I'll admit. But if you can't help them, why try? Hope you get lucky and it's one of the few times you can do something? What about the times when you cause the problem? And kudos to you, Sakura. Good job calling me out on how I don't try to help people. Because I've made it obvious that I'm a helpful person.>

-Lifts up Hercules- <And you. If I was in a worse mood you could have died just then. I don't think you didn't know this. How does it feel, knowing your trainer may have just thrown you to certain death for no other reason than I'm saying mean things? Your life is worth that little. A jar of honey. An attack here. An order there. And what do you get for it?> -Without waiting for a response he slams Hercules into the ground, and hurls him at a wall-

-Turns back to Sakura- <Oh yes, remind me again. Why did you try attacking me? With a bug? When you've seen how well I can handle myself. Oh wait that's right you're not geared towards battle. That's why.>

Dream World, blue platform structure

Forte: <Hey, Leaflet, Marine! Do something about these guys!>

Leaflet: <Okay...>

-Leaflet hurls out a barrage of Razor Leaves-

Shadow: <You realize that Marine isn't here, right?>

Forte: <Huh? He's right there!> -points a paw at the Vaporeon-

Vaporeon: <...Are you colorblind or something?>

<Forte, that's Butterscotch. Marine isn't yellow.>

Forte: <...I knew that.>

-Scarlett and Nightshade join the effort as well, launching Petal Dances and Energy Balls at the Digletts-
