ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Holon City

"Well, we had similar problems too, my parents died about five years ago." said Sakura, lowering her head a bit.

Holon City

-Amanita blinks-

Holon City

Ivy: <...Oh...>

-She hugs Sakura, her human illusion flickering a bit-

Holon City

Sakura then brights up a little "Thanks, I've already moved on, but sometimes when I talk about it I feel a bit disheartened." she said, hugging back "Thanks for the sympathy though."

Holon City

Ivy: -smiles- <It's no problem, really.>

Holon City

"All right, I think I'll be going now, should get some stuff ready for when we leave. It was a pleasure to talk with you, Ms.Ivy!"

Sakura then waves and walks off.

Holon City

Maggie: "Wouldn't surprise me..."

Titanium: <So, are we going to be dealing with these guys soon or something, then?>

Ignis

Ryuku: Yep. After all, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Ryuku pats the Rayquaza on the head. A golden eye flashes open.

Psyche glomples Eskay~ "Hai~"

Ignis

Agitato: If you say so, sir.

-Agitato doesn't notice the Rayquaza's eyes opening, but Kerro does-

Kerro: <Uh, guys, we should get out of here, like now!>

Ignis

The Rayquaza starts moving its head up

Ryuku: Errrr....

The Rayquaza roars

Scout: FALL BACK! FALL BACK!

Ryuku: Woah!

The Rayquaza flies off into the Sky. But stops when he flies a bit too far from the Ignis crowd

Scout : Err

Rayquaza grumbles

Holon City — Just before Psyche glomps Eskay

Ivy: <It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Sakura.>

-She waves, then turns around. Seeing Eskay and Alli in the distance, she drops the human illusion.-

Alli: -coming up- Kay told me there was someone I should meet? :3

Ivy: <...Just like your brother, you've grown up so well...>

-She smiles, and pulls up the illusion again-

Ivy: <...I'm back, sweetie.>

-Alli stares wide-eyed for a few seconds, before hugging Ivy tightly with tears in her eyes-

Alli: ...If it's really you... I missed you so much...

Ivy: <It's been way too long... I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you for such a long time...>

-They hug silently for about thirty seconds, before Alli finally lets go-

Ivy: <...You two really have grown up so well. You... wouldn't mind taking care of yourselves a bit longer, would you?>

Eskay: ...If you're saying you're going to be off doing your own thing...

-He pauses, then smiles-

Eskay: ...I completely understand, actually. You have six years of the world to catch up with.

Ivy: <Yeah. Now that you've gotten used to independence, I can't suddenly be everywhere with you, after all.>

Alli: You'll... still be around, won't you?

Ivy: -smiles- <Of course. I'm going to stay with your group for a few more days, and even when I leave, you'll see me again from time to time. Don't worry.>

Eskay: ...I suppose you're taking Pallad with you?

Ivy: <Well... he seems to have been a great guardian for you two over the past year...>

Eskay: -smiles- That he has. But I don't want to rely on him. And no matter how close he was with us, he was always your partner. That shouldn't change now that you're a ghost.

Ivy: <...Thank you. Perhaps as I go around, I'll find the rest of my old team. I'm sure they'll be happy to know I'm around.>

Eskay: Perhaps. You've still got to re-teach yourself human English.

Ivy: -laughs a bit- <Pallad can help me with that. He helped me learn one language, he can help me re-learn another.>

-She looks around-

Ivy: <...I guess I'll go find him and tell him, then.>

Eskay: -smiles- All right.

Alli: -wipes a tear from her eye- Bye again, mom...

-She leaves... just before Eskay is glomped by Psyche-

Eskay: Oof! Hey, Psyche. I missed you.

Psyche blinks. "Who was that? She's pretty~ Looks kinda familiar, though. Can't put my finger on it."

Ah, sorry, edited.

Okay, problem solved. :P

Holon City

Eskay: ...You know how Styx and Revan are reincarnated from a dead person or mon? She was too. That... was my mom.

Ignis

Kerro: <Ack! What do we do now?>

Agitato: Well, sir, should we try to catch it?

Kerro: <Are you crazy?>

Ignis

The Rayquaza dives down at the squad. Ryuku clings for dear life.

Ryuku: Ack! THAT IS THE PLAN! AH!

The Rayquaza swiftly swoops upwards.

Psyche blinks. "What."

Ignis

Agitato: Kerro! Attack it!

Kerro: <How am I supposed to do that when it's flying around like that?>

Ignis

Ryuku has all four limbs wrapped around the dragon.

Ignis

Agitato: Here, I have an idea!

-Agitato suddenly picks up Kerro and throws him at Rayquaza!-

Kerro: <Waaah! What did you do that for?>

-Kerro lands on the Rayquaza and clings to it with his claws-

Agitato: Now attack it!

Kerro: <Why me...>

-Kerro attempts to attack by biting into it-

Ignis

The Rayquaza makes a displeased grunt before thrashing about in midair trying to throw off Ryuku & Kerro.

Ryuku: Waaah!

Ryuku's grip slips a bit.

Ryuku: GAH! HEY, MEN, YOU MIND HELPING OUT?

The soldiers ready their Pokemon, but are hesitant to fire in case they accidentally hit Ryuku.

Ryuku: WHAT AR YOU WAITING FOR? FIRE!

Foot Soldier: We don't want to hit you, sir!

Ryuku: WOA!

Ryuku clings himself to the Rayquaza.

PEFE HQ - About a Week Ago

-A certain Zoroark is presently showing off an illusion of some bubbles floating in the air, with a luminous sheen from the lights above-

<Reynard: "And see, that's how you do iridescence.">

-A bit daunted by the sight-

<Cecil: "Uh... Wow... That's... Erm... Lemme try...?">

-And makes an attempt to mimic his father's effect... If with dull and not properly scattering light-

<Reynard: "No, no- Focus more on scattering. Less on the actual color.">

<Cecil: "Um... Alri- ... Eh?">

-And pauses, looking around-

<Reynard: "... Hmm? What's up?">

<Cecil: "I thought I heard someone coming-">

-The door is thrown open by a rather-frustrated looking trainer-

"   REYN-!   "

-Who gets a bucket full of water on his head for his trouble-

<Cecil: "Tracer?! I thought you were in Unova!"> O_o;

<Reynard: "Hey! We're in the middle of something here!">

"   ...   "

-Unimpressed-

<Reynard: "... Oh come on, what's that look supposed to mean? I left a warning!">

<Cecil: "Wait, you did?">

-Happening to pass by-

<Milo: "... Well... It's kinda Torchic scratch-y, but...">

-And shows a now soaked crude sign with misshapen script-

<Reynard: "So chill out already!">

"   YOU IMPERSONATED ME IN ANOTHER REGION! I HAVE A GIRL ASKING ME WHERE HER POKEMON IS!   "

-Blinking, looking at Reynard-

<Cecil: "... Wait... Dad? What is he talking about?">

<Reynard: "... Uh... There is a perfectly reasonable explanation for- See ya!">

-And attempts to bolt for an emergency exit-

<Reynard: "ACK!">

-Only to be caught by his hair tie by a younger counterpart-

<Cecil: "Dad... Come on..."> -_-;

<Reynard: "Hey! You're supposed to stick up for your old man!"> >.<

"   WELL?!   "

-Flinching a bit at the loud, crabby-sounding voice-

<Reynard: "A-Ack! Easy! Easy! It was just to do a favor for Hatchet! She wanted to spend some time alone with a friend she made last fall!"> O_O;

"... Wait a minute... Hatchet...?

... Where is she, then?"

A Ferry At Sea Headed for Holon - A Couple of Days Ago - After Schrodinger's Team Shakeup

"... That oversized can opener had better have an explanation for this..." >_<

<Cecil: "Well hey, at least we're not missing anything important...">

-Staring out to sea, hearing Cecil's statement-

<Audrey: *twitch* "   ...   ">

<Cecil: "Um... Right?"> ._.;

In Front of Goldenrod Department Store

-A massive line of people are waiting in a line snaking around the block... Under some splashy promotional banners depicting fierce-looking creatures from Creature Tracker 4-

Pedestrian: "Darn... I knew I should have picked up a download card... This is nuts!" ._.;

Cosplay Pedestrian: "Eh, it's a chance to clear a couple more quests."

-Looking up from a session-

3DS Pedestrian: "I'm just waiting to be able to use that Bug Staff. Think they balanced it better than Great Swords?"

-Watching a waiting pedestrian hack the tail off of a virtual beast with an axe-

<Uncomfortable Looking!Gabite: "I will never for the life of me understand how humans get so excited about these murder simulators."> ._.

-Swinging around a staff fashioned to resemble those handled by the game's helper mascots-

<Cosplay!Meowth: "You kidding? It's all in the thrill of the hunt! Picking the right strategy to take down impossibly tough foes!">

<Waiting!Dewott: "And it's a chance to finally play a new game in the series.">

-And points at a trainer using an oblong, monoscreen device... With a bit of an older release-

-Raising a brow incredulously-

<Waiting!Quilava: "... Freedom 2nd Ultra? People still play that relic?">

<Cosplay!Meowth: "Freedom 3rd only fixed everything that was wrong about it.">

<Waiting!Dewott: "... Not everyone's trainer lives in this region, you know."> >.<

<Waiting!Quilava: "Eh? But then why didn't your trainer get 3 Ultra? It has underwater hunts. And it was actually-">

<Waiting!Dewott: "Look, I don't prod into how *your* trainer lives his life, okay?"> >.<

Back on the Ferry

<Audrey: >.< >

"Calm down! Capumon's only a month away, we'll be sure to-!" o_o;

-And the boat is rocked by a sudden wave-

"Whoa!"

<Milo: "Uh... Tracer?">

-And sees that a certain trainer's phone is falling from the rails-

"ACK!"

-And latches on, hastily nabbing it-

"Aha! Gotcha you slippery little-"

-While his bag is open... And a certain portable PC falls out...

... And towards the sea-

"..." ._.

-... Wait a minute... 'Wumph'?-

-And the sight of a Skarmory snatching a computer bag from just above the water can be seen-

<Skarmory: "Aha! A platform! It'll be perfect for the new nest!">

<Milo: "Oh what.">

-Which flies off beyond the horizon-

"... It can be replaced?" >.<

Coulombia - On Some Docks - Now-ish

-A rather unimpressed-looking female trainer is fuming with a certain male trainer-

Carol: "Where have you been? You said that you were going to be here over an hour ago!" >:(

"My apologies... We kinda got disoriented and lost our main source of directions..." >.<

Carol: "Try me." >:|

"Er... A Skarmory stole my Leppa at sea?" >.<

Carol: "..." >:|

<Fern: "... What.">

<Amelia: "... I'm not terribly amused by your disingenious assertions about my species, you know.">

<9-Volt: "... That's seriously the best excuse he could manage?"> :|

<Teala: "Oh how I wish it were an excuse..."> >.<

"I'm aware that it sounds implausible, yes... But... I believe that I have a Fraxure to help you find?"

<Fern: "... Where would we even start?">

<Milo: "... Given the can opener of doom among the two... Maybe the local police stations?">

<All: "..."> >:|

Carol: "... Eh? Did your Floatzel say something? Everyone's looking funny at him..."

"... Erm... Probably? Anyways, maybe we should see if anyone's reported Fraxure sightings to the local police? I mean... That's a start...

Right?"

Ignis

Agitato: Come on, Kerro! You can do it!

Kerro: -clinging to Rayquaza- <I really wish I was a Glaceon or something right now.>

-Kerro attempts to bite it again-

Ignis

The Rayqauza shoot upward

Ryuku: UUUAH!

Ryuku clings onto Rayquaza's headfind

Ryuku: Please... I promise to feed you can take you on nice flights...

DS' villa

Sasorina: <Lillith understandably decided I needed some teammates, but the Pokémon at the Pokéspots weren't all that appealing to her. So, she decided to ask her uncle for advice.>

Gateon Port - Around 6 or 5 years ago

- Lillith, Gligar!Sasorina and Lillith's uncle are walking around as Lillith explains things -

Younger!Lillith: ... And that is why I was hoping you could give me some advice on how I can make Sasorina even stronger, and maybe even help me find her a teammate.

Lillith's uncle: Hmm... I see. Well, I can't promise anything, but I'll certainly keep an eye out for you.

Younger!Lillith: (smiles) Thanks!

Liliith's uncle: (hears his phone ring) Hmm? (checks the cell phone, smiles) Ah, it's my fiancé.

Younger!Lillith: Ooh, you're finally getting married?

Lillith's uncle: (chuckles) Well, yeah. We've been seeing each other for a while, and she no longer gets my name wrong. So, I figured that was a sign that we were ready for this.

Younger!Lillith: (grins) That's so awesome! Oh, I am invited to the wedding, right? Will there be a giant cake? And the bride will wear a beautiful dress, and it'll be all romantic and stuff... (blushes) Oh, I also want to get married someday!

Lillith's uncle: Well, of course you're invited, but I'm a bit unsure about whether it'd be a good idea to invite my sister, since from what I understand, she's been having her alcohol problem...

Younger!Lillith: (doesn't seem to hear him) Oh, I hope someday I can find that special someone, and live happily ever after... (looking a bit concerned) Will anyone want me, though...?

Lillith's uncle: (pats Lillith on the shoulder) I'm sure you'll find someone when you're older.

Younger!Lillith: You think so?

Lillith's uncle: (nods) Of course. You're a nice and clever girl, and from what I can tell, you're growing to be quite a beautiful girl as well.

Younger!Lillith: ... I am? (walks up to look at her reflection in a store window nearby) Huh... I guess you're right. (admires her reflection for a few moments) Hmm... It's certainly a good start, but I bet I can make myself even prettier. Let's see, maybe I can experiment with different types of make-up, or some new clothes? Ooh, and what should I do with my hair?

DS' villa - present

Sasorina: <That was the point when Lillith realized that she was in fact turning out to be growing up into quite the beauty, and she wanted to see how she could make the most of it. At least she didn't start actively hunting for boyfriends until a few years later.>

HotStuff: <... Her uncle proposed to his girlfriend because she was no longer getting his name wrong...?>

Sasorina: (shrugs) <Well, yeah. She's a really nice woman, but horrible with remembering names.>

Gateon Port - Sometime after the last flashback

- Lillith is being introduced to her uncle's fiancé -

Lillith's uncle's fiancé: (shaking Lillith's hand) Lillian, it is so nice to finally meet you! Your uncle has told me so much about you!

Younger!Lillith: (sweatdrops) It is nice to meet you too, although my name is Lillith, not Lillian.

Lillith's uncle: (to Lillith) Don't worry, she'll get it right eventually.

DS' villa - present

Sasorina: <... It's been a few years since then, and she's still obliviously calling her "Lillian".>

HotStuff: <... Wow.>
