ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Gateon Port, Hospital

-Herbert gives the closest thing he can to a shrug at Umbra, whilst Bishop blinks at Sickle again.-

Herbert: I just figured you'd have heard about them by reputation by now. After all, they're quite possibly one of the worst enemies we've ever had to face.

Bishop: <...Sure. Let's go with that.>

Gateon Port

Jacob: -Nods- "And I'll help. Finding whoever took Cynthia will probably also help lead me to Regina... but if it doesn't I can still help you out."

-To Odin- "Yeah. A trend that I think is going to discontinue. Very soon."

-Kitsune listens to Rosa's explanation-

Kitsune: <Oh... Uh... I honestly don't know how to respond to that. Though considering the circumstances, I can believe every word. But I hope you were able to find a partner in spite of all the things that happened.>

Phenac City

Susanna: (to the others) Excuse me? Are you defending this man-stealing demon?

Lillith: "Demon"? That's a new one...

Hey, you have no right to talk to Lillith this way.

Susanna: Oh, really? (to Lillith) Can you honestly say you're not interested in Darien at all?

Lillith: (blushing slightly) Well, I-

Susanna: (before Lillith can even finish her sentence) See? She's evil!

Lillith: (Face Palm)

... That doesn't prove anything! (thinking) I wonder if I could get away with pushing that girl into the fountain over there?

Gateon Port, last night

Albert: "There are more ways to control Pokemon other than Shadowing them, you know. And from what I've heard, making them Shadows would make things easier for you."

-Gogie dives out of the way of most of the Fire Blast, but ends up singed slightly-

Gogie: <He doesn't have them. I don't know where they are but he doesn't have them.>

Albert: "Stop stalling. Take Down."

-Gogie gives a bit of a growl, but charges at Morrigan-

Yes, her happening to like your boyfriend totally means she's evil. I bet Harry has a better grasp on logic.

Gateon Port

Carol: -to Odin- Yeah. Hence why we need to stop them. -to Jacob- I bet the peon went to the Cipher HQ, so I can also bet at least some of our mons are there, too, wherever that is. We have a good chance of finding Regina and Cynthia if we can find their place of operations!

Gateon Port

Jacob: "We need to record our break in then show it to Pokéstars and have them make a spy film out of it."

Gateon Hospital

The door then opens and Sakura peeks inside

"Hello? Am I interrupting something?" she said.

Phenac City

Lillith: (snickers)

Susanna: Well, if she's not out to steal Darien, then why does she keep coming here? And why does she keep talking to him?

Lillith: ... Didn't I already answer those questions? You seriously need to pay more attention.

Susanna: Oh, shut up, you bitch! Darien is mine!

Sasorina: (glares at Susanna) <Don't you have anything better to do than yell at my trainer?>

Susanna: (noticing Sasorina) Oh, and I see you still have that ugly bug of yours. (looks over at the rest of Lillith's team) And look, you've gathered almost an entire team of ugly Pokémon! (smirks) You know, if you think keeping them around will make you look better by comparison, it's not going to work.

Sasorina: <... Lillith, I'll hold her, and then you can punch her.>

Lillith: (to Sasorina) As tempting as that is, I am smart enough to know that resorting to physical violence will only make us worse than she is. (to Susanna) Listen, insult me all you want, but leave my Pokémon out if it! I bet any of them could easily beat your one Pokémon in a battle!

Susanna: (taking out a Luxury Ball) Ha, I don't think so. (sends out a Milotic) Nerina here is both beautiful and strong.

Nerina: (looks around) <Who are all these people?>

-Morrigan is hit, and is sent skidding back-

-she snarls, but her face turns gentler-

<I never accused you of anything, Gogie. I'm sorry about this.>

-Morrigan takes a deep breath before sending hellishly hot flames at Gogie with an Overheat-

-Joseph's eyes widen-

NEVER!

Okay, I was wrong. You can't be Crow. Where is he?

Gateon Port

Carol: -she laughs- Heck yeah!! -pauses- Though I suppose we'll have to first see if it's even possible to break in, and we don't even know where we're going...

Cipher hideout, ???

Peon 1: -carrying Cynthia, who has been given a new round of sedatives- I found this little thing running around last night. He'll do, right?

Peon A: Sure, I guess. A bit small, though. Let's get rolling.

Hospital

Umbra: I knew they existed, but not how nasty they really were.

Human!Ammy: Hi Sakura!

Gateon Port

Rosa: <Oh, don't worry. I found Lina.>

Elsewhere

Odin: -blinks- Pokestar would be interesting.

Phenac

Arika: -beats her fist into her palm- I for one am not above resorting to violence.

Samba: <Oh! A battle! That'll stir up some festive fighting spirit!>

Gateon Port

Jacob: "Well once we find where it is we can break in. Or at least you can. If nothing else I can be very distracting sometimes."

-Sighs- "Well, call me if anything comes up. I'll be... heading towards Phenac now. See ya Carol." -Walks off-

I could probably flatten her in a battle in five seconds, but it's really not worth the energy that could be better spent on Cipher.

-To Arika-

Though I am sorely tempted.

Forecaster: <It's like Courtney if she were human.>

Tropius: <Nah, she doesn't have that laugh of hers.>

Gateon Port, Hospital

-Herbert cocks an eyebrow at Umbra.-

Herbert: ...Right.

-He then notices Sakura, and gives a friendly if somewhat tense smile.-

Herbert: Oh, hey again, Sakura. Everything okay? You need something?

Kitsune: <Lina? You mean the lady who likes to wear red? I heard she's a good person. A bit scary when angry, but a good person.>

Gateon Hospital

Sakura then comes in, looking extremely tired.

"Well, I'm fine." she said, yawning "Mostly at least... Have you been getting better?"

Gateon Port, Hospital

-Herbert gives Sakura a half-shrug.-

Herbert: Depends on what you mean by "better". If you mean physically, then I'm pretty sure my injuries are healing... even though I still can't move properly and am aching all over. On the emotional front, I've been visited by two Cipher officers in just as many days... so actually, I guess the answer to that question is "no" regardless of what you mean by it.

Gateon Port

Carol: Bye, Jacob. -waves-

Cipher Hideout, ???

Peon 1: -she walks down a hallway and into some sort of robotics lab, placing the unconscious Cynthia on a table. Various mechanical arms, like ones you'd see in a factory, lower from the ceiling- This better not start a fire like last time.

Peon A: I bet it won't. And if we do, er, mess up again, he's already got flames coming from his butt anyways. Shall I start?

Peon 1: Yep, all clear.

Phenac City

Nerina: <I get the feeling these people aren't here to admire my beauty...> (notices Lillith) <Ah! This girl again?> (sighs) <Seriously, Susanna? You sent me out of my Luxury Ball out here where my scales will get dirty just for another one of your un-ladylike tantrums?>

Susanna: (steps back) Don't you dare! I'll call the police on all of you!

Why don't you just leave already!?

Susanna: (turns around) Hmph, fine. (to Nerina) Come on, Nerina. Let's get out of here. (turns back around, glaring at Lillith) And stay away from Darien! (walks away)

Nerina: (sighs) <It's so embarrasing to be seen with her when she gets like this...> (follows Susanna)

Lillith: Phew... Glad that's over.

... I think I'll take this oppurtunity to ask the question I'm all of you are probably wondering. (clears throat) What the heck does Darien see in that girl!?

Lillith: (shrugs) Apparently they were friends when they were younger. I can only assume she wasn't as crazy back then, and that she probably doesn't act like that when I'm not around or when Darien isn't around to see.

Gateon Port, last night

Albert: -chuckles- "Why would I tell you that? I already told you all that I need to."

"Well, I guess I could tell you he tried infiltrating Cipher and it didn't go so well for him."

-Gogie is struck by the Overheat and knocked out-

Albert: "Well, I suppose that's the end of that for now."

-He recalls Gogie-

"Farewell."

-He dashes off-

-Joseph recalls Morrigan, looking quite troubled before shrugging-

Oh, well!~

-he bounces off, humming-

-Watching Susanna and Nerina head off-

I feel bad for her mons to have a trainer like that.

-To Lillith-

I'd hope so, because if he's anything like her I don't know what to say to you.

Muddy: <If Hydreigon were here she'd probably ask if she could eat her, and then give the scraps to her hatchlings.>

Hospital

-Umbra pats Sakura-

Gateon Port

Rosa: <Oh, when she's mad she's terrifying. But mostly she's nice!>

Elsewhere

-Odin follows Jacob-

Phenac

-Once Susanna leaves, Arika returns to her normal self-

Arika: -to Tagg- I know, right?

-to Lillith- Darien's not like that, right?

Samba: <This is just not right.>
