ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Gateon Port

-Clockwise cocks his head and taps his beak with one wing-

Clockwise: <Hm… Here! She was here! And then she left with the berry boy and they never came back!>

-Ken nods-

Ken: "Berry boy? I do not understand. Is he someone that you know?"

-Ken has his Detective face on-

Right! How do you get money?

-Gear smiles-

Gear: "You gotta hustle for it. You know, prize money and trainer fights."

Phenac City

Verax: -Shrugs- "Nah. Not to say I wouldn't mind some of them, but they're sort of you know, young. But hey" -He whistles- "Look at-"

Beat

-Looks at Alexiel- ".... Arceus dammit you really do pop out of nowhere don't you? The phantom theif of Cipher. So please tell me are you here to take something from me or what?"

Gateon Port, Warehouses

Dune: ... These guys are idiots.

-Dune looks down on the Crayola box of Cipher peons below from his rooftop.-

Redsix: Now, let's see... someone here is an imposter! Everyone, keep your eyes out!

Dune: Hm... --

Gateon Port

Clockwise: <Hm… yes! I know him! He is Trainer's Counterclockwise!>

Agate Pokémon Center

"I'm no heroine, Rawst, I never wanted to come here, to take part on any of this, to become a target... This is just too much for me."

Phenac City

"Oh, believe me, if I wanted to take something you wouldn't even notice it was gone." said Alexiel, as he's suddenly playing with Verax's gun on his hand "Kinda like this."

-Ken facepawed-

Ken:Well, I could see why.....Oh wait i am an Idoit. I will just use Oder Sleuth to track her scent.

Phenac City

Verax: "Huh?!" -Looks down and see's his gun is gone-

"ARCEUSDAMMIT."

Gateon Port

-Clockwise hoots happily-

Clockwise: <Yay! How does that work?>

Gateon Port, Warehouses

Redsix: One more time, from the top! One!

Bluesix: Two!

Browsix: Three!

Yellosix: Four!

Purpsix: Five!

Greesix: Six!

Dune: Seven!

...

Redsix: Wait, what?!

-Ken uses Odor Sleuth....and smells just bout all you could smell in a port, his eyes go wide-

Ken: "OW"

-Gear looks down-

Gear: "I don't think he likes the smell of the nearby trash and bar."

Gateon Port

-Clockwise jumps, hooting in alarm-

Clockwise: <What?! What's wrong, banana puppy?!>

Gateon Port, Warehouses

Redsix: Alright, this is getting frustrating! Who's the imposter!

Dune: I think it's the guy to your left!

Bluesix: What?! C'mon, Redsix, it's me! Bluesix! It can't be me!

Dune: He's lying! They're all lying!

Greesix: I knew it! You're all imposters, aren't you!?

Yellosix: Who are you calling imposter, imposter?! Go, Manetric!

Browsix: Go, Slaking! Earthquake away these imposters so that I can find my brothers again!

Gateon Port, nearby rooftop

Dune: Oh man this is so satisfying.

-Nearby, Rill and Champloo are busting up laughing as the six brothers devolve into a Big Ball of Violence.-

Ken: To much to smell...I couldn't get a good smell if i tried. I'm sorry bout that.

-Gear is looking around...something doesn't feel right. Something bout the warehouses in town, he wonders if he should go investigate-

Titan's Lab catwalk, last night

Carol: -she gasps as Crewe rushes towards her, getting knocked backwards several feet before falling onto her back- Wait!!

Poindexter: -floats upwards and out of the way, a Shadow Ball formed in his hands- Permission to attack?

Carol: No, don't, she's a friend.

River: I-I-I'm not so s-sure about t-that... -she shakes, but remains in a battle stance-

Agate Village

Rawst:It'll be alright, Sakura...I'm here, and you Pokemon are here. We'll keep you safe.

-Straw enters the Angels' house, and sits down at a table with Taylor's parents-

Mrs. Angel:Oh, hello Straw. Haven't seen you in quite a while.

Mr. Angel:Indeed. How've you been.

I've been better. Lots of things have happened to my friends and family over the past few days.

Mrs. Angel:Let me guess, was it Cipher?

-nods-

Mr. Angel:Figures. Sorry to hear that. Hope things work out.

I hope so too.

Mrs. Angel:So...given that you're here, I'm sure you've heard what happened to Taylor.

-nods-

Yeah...

Mr. Angel:We were devastated when we found out. But at least she died doing what she loved.

Can I ask a question?

Mrs. Angel:Sure.

Do you know how she died?

Mr. Angel:Well...the report was kinda hazy, but I remember that it was ruled that it was a murder at the hands of what appeared the be Cipher. They sent a letter to the Ranger station threatening further action against them. They used Taylor as an example. We couldn't even get her body recovered.

I see...They probably dumped it somewhere where it couldn't be found.

Mrs. Angel:We had a memorial statue made and put in the cemetery, if you'd like to go there.

I think I will. It's been nice seeing you all again.

-He waves goodbye, and heads for the cemetery-

Agate Pokémon Center

Sakura then starts crying and looks at Rawst

"But I don't want anyone else to be taken away, I don't them to snag Dylan or anyone else! What if they come after me while I'm sleeping? I get so worried..."

Phenac City

"In any case, I have a small job for you. Coincidentally enough it matches up with your list, convenient isn't it?" said Alexiel, fiddling with Verax's gun.

Gateon Port

-Clockwise droops-

Clockwise: <Oh… well, you tried, banana puppy…>

???, Titan's Lab, Catwalk, last night

-Crewe barrels into Carol, grabbing at her shirt collar and pressing the edges of her Obscura claws against her throat. She narrows her eyes, searching her face for something-

Who… are… you?

Phenac City

Verax: -Under his helmet his eyebrow is twitching- "A bit too convenient... And while I'd like to remind you I don't answer to you, telling you that while you have a gun isn't the best idea, so I'll just go along with this. What is the job?"

-Ken nods-

Ken: Have you seen anything else...my trainer is getting antsy for some reason. Something going on in town? He gets like that when he senses something is up.

-Gear is antsy, he looks around, he feels tension in the air-

Titan's Lab, catwalk, last night

Carol: -her breathing is heavy and she shuts her eyes closed- I-it's me, Carol! You know, we're...friends. ...Don't y-you remember? We travel together.

Poindexter: This is a simple hunch, but I do believe it would be better to attack than talk.

River: P-please, Carol, we can f-fight her off!

Gateon Port

-Dune is now walking down the streets after anonymously tipping off the police to the six brothers in the warehouse area.-

Dune: Well, that was easy. Now, let's see...

-He pulls out his P*DA and flips through the contacts.-

Dune: Here we are, there's Prof. Mesquite's e-mail. Just send him this to see if he's open for this weekend.

-Dune might pass by someone on the way back to the Center.-

Gateon Port

-Clockwise cocks his head again-

Clockwise: <Hm… nope! But we can go see!>

???, Titan's Lab, Catwalk, last night

-Crewe clenches her teeth and shoves Carol backwards-

Liar! I don't have friends. They're a distraction. A weak point.

-she lunges forward and grabs at her again-

I'll give you one last chance. Tell me who you are.
