ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Hears a scream-

What was that?

-Decides to go investigate-

Augh, this is terrible!

Rebecca: <I'll say. You've only got five pokemon on hand!>

And what does that have to do with anything!?

Rebecca: <You're going to need six for that Silver Conference thing, don't you think?

Yeah well, that's a ways away.

-Follows the noise-

Jane?

Huh!? Who said that? -grabs a large stick-

Rebecca: <Probably just your imagination. Or maybe it's that guy right behind you.>

THERE'SAMANBEHINDMEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -swings and hits Tagg with the large stick she picked up-

Huh? Oh... Uh, sorry Tagg... We've got to stop running into each other like this

Rebecca: <Idiot.>

-follows Tagg, Obi-Wan racing ahead to investigate-

-Gets hit hard and recoils, but remains standing-

Let's hope that next time it's not something like a mace or spear.

I'd never hold a mace if that makes you feel any better. Sorry... Do you need any help?

-runs up and stops, looking very confused. Obi-Wan backs up away from Jane-

Uh, what happened?

No...

-Clutches the spot where he was struck-

...I'm fine. I think it's time I took these bandages off.

- Wolf-in-Anom and I stay behind as Tagg and Crewe run off to find Jane -

... And now it's just us again.

- Sighs -

But we can't just stay here, right? We should go catch up to the others?

Bandages!? Oh man, did I seriously hurt you that much that you needed bandages!?

Rebecca: -rolls her eyes-

No, these...

-Shows his hands-

...were from when I was beating my fists against the ruin walls.

Right. -kisses her cheek, stands, and follows Tagg and Crewe-

I may have been asleep, but I'm not sure. Staying awake for a day straight does funny things to you.

Woolly: <So, why are we here?>

Because Suicune told me everyone else was here. So I thought I'd come look.

Woolly: <Okay. Um, there aren't really any ghosts in here, are there?>

Only ghost Pokémon, and we've dealt with them before. Remember Morty back in Ecruteak City?

Woolly: <Oh yeah. He wasn't that much trouble.>

My point exactly. Besides, they'll probably stay away from us as long as you keep that tail of yours lit up.

Woolly: <Yeah! As long as I keep shining, no ghosts will touch us!>

That's it Woolly! Now...Where is everyone?

-I open a door randomly.-

Guys, are you in here?

-Loads of Ghastly in the room all turn to look at me, licking their lips menacingly.-

...Sorry, wrong room.

-I quickly close the door.-

... Tagg, you were punching walls enough times to need bandages? Really?

Oh wow. Why... Why would you do that to yourself? I'm sorry, it's just... really hard for me to imagine anyone would willingly hurt themselves to the point of injury.

I...got a bit carried away. I normally wouldn't hurt myself that badly.

What happened that made you get carried away?

... If you don't mind talking about it, that is.

Woolly: <Hey, why aren't the beasts here with you?>

Because Raikou and Entei are scared of ghosts.

Woolly: <Wow, really?>

-I open the door down to the basement.-

Yep. So they didn't want to come, and Suicune didn't want to leave them alone by themselves, so she stayed behind with them. Hmm, why are there Bayleaf down there?

-I close the door again and continue onwards.-

Woolly: <Okay. Oh! We need to check the bookcases!>

...Why?

Woolly: <Because there's ALWAYS a hidden room behind a bookcase in a haunted house! You just have to pull the right book, and there's your secret room! Look, I'll show you.>

-The Ampharos rushes over to a bookcase and pulls a random book off the shelf.-

Woolly: <TA-DA!>

-Nothing happens.-

Woolly: <...Okay, maybe if I try a different book.>

-Woolly pulls out another book. Still nothing.-

Woolly...

Woolly: <No, one of these HAS to be it!>

-I sigh as Woolly begins pulling all the books out of the bookcase as she tries to find a switch.-

Didn't I explain this already? The stress is getting to me.

- While I follow Wolf-in-Anom, I think to myself -

Being able to spend time with him without making the others suspicious, that is also a good reason for me to want to find that Manaphy soon...

- We catch up to the others -

Oh, hi there, Jane!

Oh, I must have been spaced out. Or like, watching a movie or something.

Figures.

I'm sorry to hear about that, Tagg.

- Glancing over at Tagg for a moment -

Hmm... Maybe Wolf and I should've just stayed in the other room...

- Clears throat -

So, do we have any plans for today?
