ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Pyrite Town

Herbert: Hey.

-He then realises that Maggie wasn't talking to him and looks down at his feet. Bishop steps forward to address Maggie.-

Bishop: <Just a couple of things I wanted to go over. Crow wanted me to inform individuals who expressed concern over the morality of his actions - such as yourself - that he has destroyed his Snag Machine. Also, you are friends with Tagg, are you not? Have you seen him around recently?>

-Falchion, meanwhile, throws a glance at the Prinplup.-

Falchion: <Not the talkative type, are you?>

Maggie: -to Bishop- "I... actually haven't seen Tagg since the day after the raid when he vowed to kill Tokarev and any other Cipher member stupid enough to get in his way."

Prinplup: -to Falchion- <...Not especially.>

Jason nodded slowly.

"Well, it could be theoretically possible, but when you enhance an image, you expand the pixel size to show the enlargement. The same is true for a hologram. In order to create a realistic image we'd need a huge file size, not to mention an EXTREMELY powerful holo emitter. And that would be just to get their attention. ARM may be powerful once its finished, but its definately not military grade. At least not yet. There are several months of work left to get even close to that goal, and by then it may be too late. I guess it could work if the entire J-Team can work as one well-oiled unit, but its size and the difficulty of the task may make it unlikely. It is a very interesting idea though, one that should be banked." Jason sighed, before a certain point piqued his interest.

"You had an idea of what to project? What is it?"

"Right...No, that'd be impractical. But we've got to think of something. Something extravagant; some kind of monumental disaster that would present some type of opportunity for Cipher. But how? What?"

Pyrite Town

-Bishop blinks at Maggie.-

Bishop: <...Ah. I see. Well, thank you for clarifying the situation, at least...>

Falchion: <Figured. The creepy ones never do talk much. Except for that Lucario, who just wouldn't shut up no matter what.>

Pyrite Town

Maggie: "Why'd you want to know?"

Prinplup: <...Creepy?>

Pyrite Town

-Bishop shifts his weight uncomfortably.-

Bishop: <...I was asked to tell him something, though considering your last statement I am now considering abstaining from doing so.>

-Falchion shrugs.-

Falchion: <Shadow Pokemon generally are.>

Pyrite Town

Maggie: "Do you think it's the kind of thing he'll find out on his own?"

Prinplup: <...Ah....>

Pyrite Town

-Bishop shifts uncomfortably again.-

Bishop: <...Quite possibly, yes.>

Pyrite Town

Maggie: "Given I was holding off on telling him about Every and he ended up finding out before I told him, I'd say it would be better to tell him than not."

Pyrite Town

Bishop: <I will bear that in mind, then...>

-He sighs.-

Bishop: <Well, I suppose that is all I wanted to bring up. Thank you for your advice, then.>

Pyrite Town

-A certain Magnezone is now wandering around with a certain Tyranitar.-

Ajax: <Are you sure it's okay to have him around?>

Galvani: <Don't worry, this one's a good guy!>

Mini-Optimus Prime: Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.

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

Pyrite Town

Maggie: -to Bishop- "Good luck with that, then."

-Maggie and the Prinplup may be passed and noticed by Galvajax-

Pyrite Town

-Galvani puts the miniature Autobot away as Ajax notices Maggie and the Prinplup.-

Ajax: <Oh, hello there!>

Galvani: <Hi.>

Pyrite Town

Prinplup: <...Hello?>

Maggie: "Hey."

"I... think I've seen you around, but don't think I've met you before."

"Something attention grabbing and dynamic. Something that wouldnt affect the environment even if it was actually real."

Pyrite Town

Ajax: <Oh, yes, I believe I've seen you around as well. My name is Ajax, and this is Galvani.>

Galvani: <Yo.>

Ajax: <Our trainer, Dune, is in town. We helped bottleneck the back elevator out of the Under.>

Galvani: <Which isn't too hard with a Tyranitar, Golurk, Swampert, and Donphan.>

Ajax: <Well, yes, our team composition made our objective a bit easier to accomplish than usual.>

Pyrite Town

Maggie: "Huh."

"Well, sounds like some good came out of that elevator squish, then. Hope we don't have to deal with anything like that again, though."

"Anyway, I'm Maggie."

Pyrite Town

Ajax: <A pleasure to meet you, Maggie. We're... currently waiting for Dune to finish with a call.>

Galvani: <He's calling his sister, who works over at Phenac Municipal.>

-Meanwhile-

Dune: C'mon, pick up...

*Click!*

???: Yello?

Dune: Hi, Rachel...

???Rachel: OMIGODOMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD HI DEREK!

-Dune holds the phone away from his ear for a moment.-

Dune: Yes, um, hi. So, uh, I heard about things in Phenac...

Rachel: I know right?! Stupid volcano had to stop working! I demand a refund!

-Dune fights back a sigh as he pinches the bridge of his nose.-

"If I had the proper tools, I could do some chemical engineering that would fit our needs with the proper use of theatrics; but the chemicals I need are a little hard to come by. Maybe checking out those old Cipher labs could turn something up?"

Phenac City

- Lillith and I are checking up on things here, and are currently talking to Darien. Susanna is there too, clinging to Darien with a forced smile on her face while he and Lillith talk -

Pyrite Town

Maggie: "Huh. Didn't know we had more people from here on the team."

Pyrite Town

Ajax: <Oh, yes. Dune's from Phenac, specifically.>

Galvani: <As am I! That's where my cluster was, last I checked.>

-Meanwhile-

Dune: So... how goes the "alternative energy" ideas?

Rachel: Well, we've got absolutely no solar panels that'll last us more than one sandstorm, our wind farm is still under scrutiny by the Rangers due to "threatening the local Flying Pokemon population", which is malarkey since we don't HAVE a Flying Pokemon population aside Trainer-owned mons, and we don't usually keep stockpiles of coal or oil around.

Dune: I assume you're looking to use Pokemon until another solution is thought up?

Rachel: Right in one. My personal favorite is having a room full of Hitmonlee pedaling stationary bicycles.

Dune: ... Huh?

Rachel: Hey, don't knock it. They're the only reason we're having brownouts and not full-on blackouts.

Pyrite Town

Maggie: "Huh. So, what's it like to be back, then?"

"Or at least being back once you get to Phenac?"

Pyrite Town

Ajax: <I've never actually been here before. This is the first time Dune has come back in around four years.>

Galvani: <Trust me, it was WAAAAY dirtier than this. Duking's been doing some awesome stuff! Like the Pokemon Center! That wasn't there last I saw.>

-Meanwhile-

Dune: So, uh, Rach, can I ask you for a favor?

Rachel: ... You don't want me to tell Mom or Dad that you called?

Dune: *Sigh* Yeah, pretty much.

Rachel: Alright. But you know they'll find out eventually. They always find out eventually.

Dune: Yeah... I know. Talk to you later.

Rachel: Bye, Budder!
