ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Lumiose City, North Boulevard

Mezzo: -facepalm-

Felis: -facepaw-

Mezzo: Uh huh, sure. You're going to get rid of me... with a Psychic type. Felis, Fake Out.

-Felis dashes up to Ramiel and gives it a light tap on the gem-

Illusion HQ

No, no... even some of the more unnerving people haven't been... hostile.

Lumiose City, North Boulevard

All: He'll take care of you...fine!

Ramiel: -is tapped, taking some damage, just sits there and waits-

Lumiose City, North Boulevard

Felis: <Really, now. I'm so impressed.>

Mezzo: Sucker Punch!

-Felis tenses up, then leaps at Ramiel-

Illusion HQ

Darien: Oh, well that's good. I'd hate to see a newbie shaking like a Snorunt like poor Alyssa.

-He pats Crewe on the shoulder.-

Darien: If you have any questions, even if I'm off the grid for whatever reason, just spread the word around the IT guys and I'll get it.

Somewhere in Kalos

-a brunet male is sitting on a bench next to a woman with frizzy red hair. A Banette is floating about the man's head curiously-

Terri: No, no, no. We need a transfer. We'll have to go ask Echo or something.

Terry: Can...can you do that?

Terri: -exasperated sigh- Fine. Who do you want to be a Member for?

Terry: ...Mathilde, maybe?

Terri: Couldn't hurt, I guess. She'll be too busy looking at herself in the mirror or whatever to give us that much. Still, Alys is around her from time to time...

Terry: Orllof, then?

Terri: That old idiot? Please.

Terry: What about Shard-ACK!

-he finds himself grabbed by the collar. Terri says, trying very hard to remain calm:-

We. Are not. Working. For Shard. Is that understood?

-Terry nods, and she lets go-

Lumiose City, North Boulevard

All: You'll need more than a type advantage...for Ramiel! Hydro Pump...

Ramiel: -tiny jets of water pop from its points as Felis strikes. It's sent to low health, and retaliates with a whirling spray of water-

Coumarine City

Jacob: "No problem."

"... Now then, on to Lumiose! I suppose." -Snaps-

Regina: <Ooooooh that would explain it.> -Hears something-

<... Well it seems I have to go now. Good bye! It was nice meeting you.> -Blips off-

Jacob: -Tapping his foot-

Regina: -Is now here- <Oh we're leaving, hold on...> -Focuses and-

-All of Jacob's mons appear-

-And are recalled-

Jacob: "Fantastic. Now, on to Lumiose."

Regina: <Oh, wonderful, a place we know.> -And blips herself and Jacob away-

Illusion HQ

-Crewe chuckles-

I'm not that easy to scare.

-she smiles-

Thanks, Darien.

Coumarine City

Deziree: Alright, see you!

Ajax: <Very well, I'll see you later, I suppose.>

Illusion HQ

Darien: Oh, not a problem. I'm a fixer! I fix issues of all sorts - Digital issues, mechanical issues, personal issues... It's probably why Orllof took me in. I'm good at making things run smoothly.

Courmarine Hotel

At present, Rex is asleep, tired from the various issues encountered on this little quest. Kim, meanwhile, has returned from being transferred to Sinnoh once more and is snuggling Ulysses happily in celebration of returning to the group.

Coumarine, not a TS

(Mikki, Alex, and all associated Pokemon are at a table in a coffee shop, presumably accompanied by Cleo.)

Dogs: What about Voynich, eh? :P

Lumiose City, North Boulevard

-Felis is pushed backward by the water jets, and hisses at Ramiel-

Mezzo: Hm... try a Snarl!

Felis: <You just didn't want to make this easy, did you? You could have just left well enough alone, but no, you show up here because your idiot trainer cares about some ancestral pact! Well, fine! See how much I care, when it's clear you were never able to accomplish anything in the first place!>

Illusion HQ

Well, from what you've said about him, that seems like the kind of guy he'd like working for him. I think Shard took me in just because of my Obscura.

Lumiose City, Northern Boulevard

Ramiel: <...>

-its gem goes dark, and it falls over backwards-

All: -recalls it- Fine! Well, now that I know you're a Dark-typer, I...I know what to do!

-and sends out Slick-

Slick: <Evening.> -holds up a hand, and it starts to rain-

Illusion HQ

Darien: Well, at least you have something to talk about during your coffee break, right?

-He chuckles at his own joke.-

Darien: But seriously, good for you! I hope you go far while you're here.

Lumiose City, North Boulevard

-Mezzo pulls out her umbrella-

Mezzo: You must be a Water user then. Felis, Taunt!

Felis: <Oh, no! It's the most horrible thing in the world! How could I ever survive! Yeah, nice trick. Now let's see if you can do something actually useful.>

-despite Felis' remark, he twitches his tail as the raindrops hit him-

Illusion HQ

-Crewe makes a face at the mention of coffee-

Ugh, you sound like Herbert. I will never understand the appeal of coffee. That stuff's disgusting.

-she smiles again-

Thanks, Darien. So do I.

Lumiose City, North Boulevard

Slick: <Of course I can.>

All: Slick...Scald!

Slick: -sprays a jet of water from his mouth, heating it to boiling with a laser from his antenna-

Coumarine Hotel

Ulysses is currently snuggled up in Kim's arms, purring happily.

Meanwhile, Melody is looking out to sea, sighing and bouncing a yo-yo

Coumarine, Totally a TS

They are indeed at a Cafe, the one down by the docks that Cleo seems to fancy.

Cleo: So, anything you guys wanna talk about while we're here? I would try to start up a conversation, but I follow maman''s suggestion of sticking to two subjects as conversation starters: the weather and my health. Neither of which lead to riveting conversations.

Lumiose City, North Boulevard

-Felis yowls as he's struck by the boiling water and faints-

Felis: <You got lucky...>

Mezzo: Hm... Come on out, Sunny!

Sunny: <Oh, hi!>

Mezzo: Use Sunny Day!

-Sunny calls up an orb of sunlight that pushes away the rain clouds-

Illusion HQ

Darien: Oh, I know it - I don't have the patience for coffee. I prefer soda.

-He frowns for a moment before tapping the side of his visor twice.-

Darien: Sorry, one moment...

-He takes out a touchpad and taps a few things in, his face steadily going from a frown to a smile.-

Darien: Aaaaaaand...

-He makes three flamboyant types.-

Darien: Done!

-He puts the pad away.-

Darien: Sorry about that, someone tried fitting a square peg in a round hole, so to speak.

Illusion HQ

At least soda doesn't taste disgusting.

-she waits quietly as he types, raising an eyebrow-

Oh?

Illusion HQ

Darien: Someone tried fitting the wrong kind of file into an e-mail, and it caused a pileup. My Porygon-Z got things cleared up, though, so no harm done.

Couramine Hotel

Kim gives Ulysses' ribbons a gentle rubbing as well as his head before turning to Melody.

Kim: Would you like to take a walk, Ms. Melody?
