ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Jack flails inarticulately.

<"You know! The demon butler! With all the silver ware!">

-Lady flails in turn-

<I don't know any bloomin' butlers!>

<"GRAHR!">

<GAH!>

-she pauses-

<Anyway. Hecate for a girl, Sebastian for a boy, then?>

<"Yes! That would be perfect.">

Sasa Sanctuary

Ammy: -hearing Tagg- Oh!

-Draws the stars in, summoning a white Milotic with orange markings-

Milotic: <Um, hi... I'm Nuregami, god of... Waterspout...>

Ammy: < Rarity?>

Nuregami: <Just draw a line from water to move it... Or make it spout... Or make rain... It has a lot of uses... Use it well...>

-Turns into a glowing symbol and enters Ammy-

Ammy: <Awesome!> -tries it on a bamboo-shoot lever, opening a door- <Let's go through there!>

-Heads through the door-

Dragnor

-Lina exits Kaius' fortress with Chrome-

Lina: -growls- What the hell do you want?

Sasa Sanctuary

-Herbert follows Ammy through the door.-

Herbert: Great. Now we can shower on the move. Should be useful if any more Eeveelutions decide that they want to take an exploding dump on my head.

<"...">

Jack flails inarticulately.

Lady: <Best not to think about it.>

-floats off, beckons Jack to follow-

Greenleaf

-The guard suddenly stands up much straighter-

Guard: Er, uh, yes. Right this way.

-He leads Umi to Shiryoku's chamber, where he is making an effort to get a rust-red stain out of the carpet-

Guard: Sir, this is Umi Kage, Warlord of Fontaine.

Shiryoku: -looks up- Oh, hello.

Dragnor

-A different guard enters Kaius's chambers-

Other Guard: Kaius, sir! The Warlord of Nixtorm wants to see you immediately! He's got an army with him!

Kaius: ...Okay, what's going on?

Other Guard: I just told you, sir!

Kaius: ... -facepalm- I know you did. That was a rhetorical question.

Other Guard: I'm sorry for answering, sir!

-They go outside-

Kaius: Okay, what is the meaning of this?

Outside WindClan territory

Eskay: Clans of catmons have been making things hard for travelers.

-The cats — a regular Luxio and a dark brown Zangoose — whip around toward Gino, growling-

Luxio: <Fellow kitties?>

Zangoose: <That Salamence smells of Purrloin...>

Luxio: <...I could tell. I have a nose. What are you doing here, kittyp— er, dragon? And, um, Twolegs?>

Eskay: We're trying to get through to Holon City, is all.

Zangoose: <...That Twoleg understands us!>

Luxio: <I'm not deaf either, Gravelclaw!>

Zangoose Gravelclaw: <...Sorry, Lightmane.

Luxio Lightmane: <Rrgh... Anyway... We'll have to take you to Redstar. He'll decide what to do with you tresspassers.>

Eskay: ...Tresspassers? We've been avoiding—

Lightmane: -snarls- <You've bumbled into ''ThunderClan territory!>

Eskay: Ah. Well, if that's what has to happen, then... take us to your leader.

Lightmane: <...Never do that again.>

Eskay: Sorry.

-They go to the ThunderClan camp.-

Holon City

-Straw is awkwardly walking around with the Humanitar, who is wearing the armband again, and his mons(and Chloro)-

...

Humanitar:...Still not talking, eh? Well, it's better than having you run away everytime you see me.

...Uh, why are you still following me?

Humanitar:Well, you're gonna have to get over that fear somehow.

Aurora:<Well, feel free to hang around.>

Who let you make the decisions?

Aurora:<The Espeon who doesn't have a crippling fear of Tyranitar. :/>

Blah.

Hax:<So, Tyranitar girl, you got a name?>

Humanitar:Name's Yang. Steel/ Dark Tyranitar.

Hax:<Well aren't you some special snowflake.>

Yang:Watch it, Haxorus, I'm not afraid to fight you.

Hax:<Hmph.>

Greenleaf

-To the Guard

Umi:Thank you. You can run along now. Shiryoku and I have important Warlord business to discuss.

Dragnor

Yusei: Warlord Kaius. I come with an ultimatum. You will abdicate the throne of Dragnor to me and peacefully leave the kingdom, or you will face me on the field of battle and be crushed. The choice is yours.

VR Sim

-Dune dusts himself off, which is completely unnecessary as the sim is cleaned twice daily.-

Serac: Alright. Now, before we start the next one, quick question: how good of a fighter are you?

-Dune hesitates before looking up toward where he assumes the control room is.-

Dune: ... I generally leave that to my team, but I could probably hold my own in a fistfight. Why?

-A digital skeleton, humanoid in shape, appears in front of him as the course he just completed disappears. The skeleton then receives a rough, polygonal skin.-

Serac: Good. This'll also give us a chance to test the impact and physics sensors. Punch this thing as hard as you can.

-Dune walks up to the Polygonite and punches it in the shoulder. It felt like punching a brick wall, and Dune curses as his hand blazes with pain.-

Dune: If you wanted that to hurt, you succeeded!

Serac: ... Oops. Hold on.

-The Polygonite's "skin" wobbles a bit before settling back to its regular shape.-

Serac: Now try.

-Dune (using his other hand) lightly punches figure again. It's much softer this time, about as tough as a side of beef.-

Ergon City

-Mezzo happens to spot a cloud of birds nearby, and runs to it-

Fortis: Hi, Piano!

Hi. Have you seen Sunny or Forte's team?

Jack: <Those Eevees? I saw 'em. They were heading off to the forest or something.>

Oh, good. Wait, what forest?

Jack: <What do you think I am, lady, a compass?>

Fortis: -hugs Jack- It's okay! I bet all the Eevees are off having fun!

Yeah, and the last time they went off by themselves we had to rescue them from a legendary's wrath.

Fortis: Oh my gosh!

Aurora, outside the castle, ~600 years ago

-Agitato is sitting outside the castle door, waiting for it to open-

Agitato: Now I know they'll let me in.

Kerro: <Your whole plan is just to sit here and wait?>

-Joseph wanders over to Mezzo and Fortis-

What's going on, now?

-Ren and wince at the Dune's first punch.-

Ren: Ouch.

-After Dune's second punch-

Maxilar: <Can that thing make food too?>

- Lillith is still following Wolf and the others -

On the boat

(thinking) If only I could contact my friends, but... I don't know where in Holon they are, and I'm not entirely sure where I am either. As far as I can tell, we're out of reach of those waves that disturb the pokeballs...

- Sighs -

Wolf must be really worried about me... He and Lillith are probably out there looking for me... I wonder if they've managed to inform any of the others of what happened?

Durant: (glances up at me) <Feeling frustrated? I guess that is understandable. Since the boss is forcing you to do work for him, you must be feeling upset because you can't get your own work done?>

- I look down at the Durant -

...?

Durant: <I sort of felt the same way when the boss first caught me, as I was busy patrolling the area around our nests, and I thought "Hey, can't you see I'm at work? I don't have time for such nonsense!" But luckily some other Durant took over my post after I was captured, so I guess it worked out. Still, I liked my old job better. My master barely gives me anything to do, and it's so frustrating.>

... If you say so.

Durant: <So, tell me. What kind of work were you doing before you got "recruited" for my master's mission?>

Um... I guess I was working on some writing projects of mine, as I aspire to be a writer someday, but for the most part I was just trying to relax after all the stuff that happened in Unova.

Durant: (tilts head, staring at me in confusion as if I had just started speaking another language) <"Re-lax"?>

... You know, take a break from work and just do whatever you want without having to do so?

Durant: <So, relaxing means... not working?> (blinks) <Why would you want to do that? Not working doesn't get work done!>

Well, sometimes one just needs to take some time away from work, and have a little fun.

Durant: (tilts head) <"Fun"? What's with all these strange words?> (shakes head) <Ugh, I'm getting distracted. I am still on "keeping-an-eye-on-you" duty, so I should try to keep my focus!>

... Whatever makes you feel good about yourself.

Outside the Sim

Saturn: <It could, but we haven't gotten either smell or taste down, and it would disappear the moment you took a bite out of it.>

Inside the VR Sim

Serac: Now, get yourself ready for this one. I want you to punch the thing in the face as hard as you can while keeping your feet.

Dune: If you say so.

-Dune bounces on his feet a little, takes a deep breath, raises his fists to his face... then throws a straight punch into the Polygonite's face.-

Serac: Alright... let's see... wow, about 200 kilos of force. That's almost as much as a martial artist. Alright, I think that enough for today. Come on back up.

-isn't totally sure what's going on, so makes sure that Lillith and DS's Pokemon are still with us, and follows Eskay-

Ergon City

(to Jack) Was there a Chimecho with them?

Maxilar: <Aww... I could have had the biggest sirloin in the world.>

Ren: -chuckles- Yeah, but I'd still have to feed you. Oh, and Saturn, when can I pick up my order? It never gave a date on the terminal.

-Waits for Dune-

Ergon City

Jack: <Yep.>

Fortis: Oh my gosh! You mean your cute little flying thing is missing too?

Yeah, I think so. So at least we know they're in a forest now.

That's a shame.

...so, how do we find them?

-Morrigan motions to Cerberus-
