ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

<"Hmmm. I wonder...">

She shrugs again.

<"Well, we sorta have a mechanic. Not very good with 'physical systems,' whatever that means. Says he's better with software.">

Holon City

Umbra: That he is.

Lumos: <Yes, and...?>

Orre - South of Agate

Jacob: -Watches the Ultra ball being thrown at her, completely frozen-

Regina: <.............> -Begins falling over backwards as the Ultra Ball strikes her, and she's absorbed into it-

Jacob: "N-no... what..."

"That shouldn't work... she's mine...."

"Eleven years and you... you..."

"...... You."

"To the gates of hell, you I shall drag."

"Until we see Giratina's flag..."

"But the final steps must be your own..."

"For YOU are going in alone..."

".... TITAN." -Rushes at Titan, forgetting the Infernape that's somewhere around the area-

-The Ultra Ball returns to Titan-

AU!Orre, Elco Base

Volta: <Makes sense. Everyone expects an engineer or mechanic to be good at everything, but really there are as many engineering specializations as there are types of medicine, if not more so.>

-General Guy hops back into the room, with Derek, Justy, and various other mons behind them.-

<"Right then. Guy, we're taking smarty here with us.">

She grabs Volta and starts dragging him towards the door.

Verethragna merely shrugs.

Orre, South of Agate

-Omega jumps forward to defend Titan, but he simply throws up his hand and blasts Jacob backwards with an Aura Sphere.-

Titan: That concludes my demonstration. Hopefully I have made my point. I would advise that you inform your companions of what transpired here, unless you wish for them to receive similar demonstrations.

-He clips Regina's new Ultra Ball to his belt and disappears into the forest, Omega loping behind him.-

AU!Orre, Eclo Base

-General Guy at first isn't sure how to respond, before Derek taps his shoulder and nods.-

Guy: <Uh... alright, but if we need to get another com tower up and running, we'll need him back for a bit.>

Volta: <Do I have a say in this?>

Derek: <Just go with it.>

Volta: <... If you say so.>

Guy: <Anyway, we're ready to depart when you are.>

Orre - South of Agate

Jacob: -Is blasted back by the Aura Sphere, and lands quite painfully on his back-

-He doesn't bother getting up-

-What's the use in getting up? Go somewhere? Where would he go? And why? It'd all be pointless, he would reason-

-So he lays on the ground as his vision clouds up, blurs, then ripples as he cries-

Orre - Pyrite Town - Ten/Eleven years or so ago

Younger!Lillith: (running) Heehee! Come on, Sassi! Try to catch me!

Gligar!Sasorina: (following Lillith) <I'm trying, but the wind isn't exactly co-operating...> (the wind suddenly picks up a bit) <Whoa!>

- The wind knocks Gligar!Sasorina and causes her to fall on top of Lillith -

Younger!Lillith: (giggles) Okay, you caught me!

Gligar!Sasorina: (blushes) <Heh, I guess I did...>

Younger!Lillith: (getting up) All right, I guess it's my turn now?

- Lillith's mother smiles as she watches the two play, a few moments later, Lillith's father returns home, presumably from work. Lillith's mother notices that he seems to have a somewhat concerned look on his face -

Lillith's mother: Hey, darling. What's with that look on your face? Tough day at work?

Lillith's father: Well... Sort of... I'd rather not talk about it, if that's okay.

Lillith's mother: Okay, if you say so.

Younger!Lillith: (grabbing onto Gligar!Sasorina) Ha! I got you!

Gligar!Sasorina: <Ah, no fair! The wind slowed me down!>

Lillith's father: (chuckles) Having fun, you two?

Younger!Lillith: (smiles and nods at her father) Yes, daddy!

Gligar!Sasorina: (nods)

Lillith's father: (smiles) That's good.

Present, DS' villa

Sasorina: (sighs) <It didn't seem like those happy days would ever end, but then... just a few weeks later, Lillith's dad was suddenly arrested.>

HotStuff: <What!? Why?>

Sasorina: (shakes head) <Lillith and I have been wondering the same thing for years...>

<"Let's go!">

She gets about 50 ft before turning around.

<"Which way is this place, again?">

AU!Orre, Eclo Base

-Derek sighs as he pulls out a map◊.-

Derek: <That oasis, just south of the old Shadow Pokemon research lab? That's where we're going. We're keeping a fair distance from the old S.S. Libra ruins, however, since Cipher has a fairly sizable presence there.>

<"...">

<"...">

She stares at the S.S. Libra.

<"That place's next.">

She then looks up.

<"Right then! Ooooonwards!">

She resumes marching.

AU!Orre, Eclo Base

-General Guy shrugs before giving to signal to follow. He does, however, detour to the south farther than he would have to stay out of Cipher's presence at the ship ruins.-

Derek: <Weather's clear, we should be able to make it before sundown.>

Theta smiles broadly.

<"Oh excellent. I do love the desert at night.">

She summons a knife made of ice.

<"A bit... closer to my element.">

AU!Orre, Oasis Outpost, One March later

-The sun is going down, swathing the desert in brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows. General Guy is looking towards the outpost, the sun against his back. The outpost consists of a surprisingly sturdy looking metal fence with a large central building flanked by two smaller buildings inside. The fence wraps all the way around the oasis itself.-

Guy: <We should be able to get in, knock a few of them on the head, then get out before they radio in that they're being attacked. Everybody ready?>

Derek: <Diggers are ready.>

Jacky: <Forward assault, ready!>

Aerial Commander: -Unfortunately, does not exist as of yet.-

Guy: <Alright. What's you're plan, Miss Bismarck?>

<"Plan? PLAN? PLAN?!?">

She spins towards the base.

<"The plan is we kick their asses, and take their stuff!">

<"Verethragna, did we bring the heavy stuff?">

The Gallade nods, then motions a Conkeldurr forward.

He's carrying a large object, wrapped in canvas.

<"BEHOLD!">

Theta whips the canvas off, to reveal a mortar.

<"Eh? EHHH? Weren't expecting that, now, were ya?">

Just wanted to draw attention to that. Bye~

-he wanders off-

AU!Orre, Eclo Wastes

Derek: <Is that... a Cragspurian Shelltosser? Cause that certainly looks like one.>

Guy: <Eh, we do need to get through the fence. But please, don't hit the main building inside. We would really like to at least get something edible out of this.>

<"Keh, what's the point of havin' the good stuff if ya don't use it! In any case, you folks can keep it. We have plenty more.">

<"Now then. CHAAAAARGE!">

The Conkeldurr fires the mortar, destroying the fence.

<"AHAHAHAHA!">

Theta and Co. rush the compound, roaring.

AU!Orre, Oasis Outpost

-General Guy shrugs, and orders his troops forward as well. Once inside... Nothing. There's a dead quiet about the compound. Besides the still-smoking hole in the ground where the fence used to be, there is no apparent sign of conflict.-

Derek: <Wait... did Cipher get here before us?>

Jacky: <Gosh, I hope not.>

Justy: <Nah, Cipher would at least have ruffed the place up.>

<"...">

<"...">

<"Right then, you lot can have the food, we're keepin' the tech and weapons!">

AU!Orre, Oasis Outpost

Guy: <Erm, right.>

-Derek wanders into one of the side buildings. The metal door swings open, apparently unlocked. After a moment, he pops his head back out.-

Derek: <General! You'll want to see this!>

Holon City

-Umbra and Lumos blink, then look for others-

Una: -eyes brightening at Sol's question- <I know both actually. Did you have an idea?>

Ren: -worried about answering Shahinne's question, decides on the literal truth- I don't know much about Shadow Pokemon myself, so I can't answer your question Shahinne.

-Ren looks at Rey and Silent talking, then turning to Harriet-

Ren: If it's not to much trouble, I need to give these to Silent.

-Ren Holds up the envelopes addressed to the PEFE Members-

-Mean while, Rey, after dismissing his Shadow Claw, looks directly at Silent-

Rey: <I assume you know what you're doing, but be careful anyway. Hold out your hands please.>

-Rey tilts his head down and after a moment his big horn start to slowly drip his poison from its tip. The poison is a shiny, deep purple in color-
