ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Looks over at Jane-

Should we wake her up?

-hums in her sleep-

-Decides to lightly shake Jane-

Jane?

- I recall my team, with the exception of Goggles who is still outside, with Latias keeping him company -

mmrmrm? -Jane groggily wakes up- Oh, mornin...

Good morning Jane.

-Has one of his rare smiles on his face-

We're heading over to Mt. Sorbet.

Oh! Oh, okay. -stands up-

-Starts walking out of the ruins-

- Follows Tagg -

-Steps onto Sophian Road and continues walking east-

DS, could I ask you a question?

-follows the others-

So, how far away is Mount Sorbet anyway?

- Looks over at Tagg -

Huh? Oh, sure. What is it?

I'm not entirely sure Jane.

-Turns back to DS-

How do I fix my trust issues? I figured that since you and I have had similar problems where that's concerned you might have some insight.

Hmm... I'm not sure... I guess I just had to take a chance and try to trust you guys...

- Thinks for a moment, before continuing -

Being part of a team, knowing that I can help my friends... It feels good. By helping my friends, showing them they can trust me, I'm hoping they would do the same for me, show me I can trust them...

- Looks down for a moment -

Of course... I know that some people can easily take advantage of someone with a kind heart.

- Looking back at Tagg -

But... I don't think you guys are like that. Somehow I just know I can trust you guys...

- Smiles -

... Well, I wish there was more I could do to help you figure these things out...

Entei: <DID EVERYONE ENJOY ENTEI'S COOKING?!>

Well, I certainly did.

-I look at the rest of my team (And Reshiram), all of them currently wearing satisfied expressions.-

What about you guys?

Lake: <That was some of the best food I've ever eaten!>

Phantom: <Well...It's a lot better then anything I've had before.>

Woolly: <I liked it! It was yummy!>

Unite: -Is lying on his back, looking a bit bloated- <I'm so full! I don't think I can fly anymore...>

Flare: <Yeah...It was good.>

Treeo: <That was awesome! You're a really good cook Entei!>

Reshiram: <I agree! Have you ever though of becoming a chef?>

Entei: <ENTEI HAS CONSIDERED IT. MAYBE SOMEDAY. ENTEI BUSY RIGHT NOW THOUGH!>

It's a shame everyone else is busy. I bet your food would have gone down rather well with them. Especially Goggles.

Suicune: <Poor thing. I can't imagine what he must be going through right now.>

Unite: <Suicune, I don't think you can imagine what he's going through when he's in any sort of mood. Seriously, I don't think he even lives on the same planet as us.>

Lake: <Hey now, I'm sure that's not strictly true...>

Entei: <ENTEI HAS AN IDEA! WHEN EVERYONE DEFEATS THE POKÉMON PINCHERS, ENTEI SHALL HAVE A DINNER PARTY!!!>

Whoa there, are you sure about that? The last party we went too didn't exactly go so well.

Reshiram: -Nods- <I can vouch for Luke on that.>

Phantom: <What are they talking about?>

Unite: <Don't ask. You won't like it.>

I wish I could quit feeling like this DS. I thought I was over this for Arceus' sake.

-Sighs-

I...just don't want my issues coming to a head again like they did when Anom and Wolf were keeping their situation secret from us. They're normally fairly bottled up.

... I too have been pretty good at keeping my emotions under control. But... I think my insecurities first started coming to surface around the time that Rebecca ran away with Virizion and... Things just sort of... Having to deal with so many people, so much tension... It was all too much for me to handle.

- Sighs -

At least by opening up to you guys... Not having to deal with things alone... It has given me more strength to deal with these things. Sure, if there is enough tension, it will get to me eventually...

... I feel that I must try to stay strong in tough situations, not to hide my emotions, but so I can help my friends. Because... I can't really help them otherwise and... Well, because part of me doesn't want you guys to think I'm too... fragile.

-has been listening, and is thinking back to Opelucid, when DS started opening up to the group- Well Tagg, I could kiss you if you think it would help. I'd have to get that medallion from Pentigan first, but-

-Didn't quite hear Wolf-

Fragile? I don't think you're fragile. You contain a great inner strength DS.

Hang on...If all the legendaries were invited to that party, why weren't you guys there?

Suicune: <Well, we tried to come...>

Entei: <BUT SOMEMON,> -Glares at Raikou- <,DIDN'T READ THE INVITATION CORRECTLY!!!>

Raikou: -Sweatdrops- <Nyaaa. You see...>

Entei: <ENTEI DOES NOT SEE ANY OF THE OTHER LEGENDARIES HERE!!!>

Suicune: <That's strange...I know they would be making sure to keep things hidden to prevent anyone stumbling across it, but surely us beasts would have seen some sign of things by now?>

Raikou: <Nya, I'm sure it's supposed to be here!> -Pulls out invitation- <It says right here "Route U12!">

Suicune: <...U12?!>

Raikou: <I know! I think it's a mistake.>

-Entei hits Raikou on the head.-

Raikou: <OW! What was that for, nya?!>

Entei: <RAIKOU IS AN IDIOT! IT'S NOT A MISTAKE, WE'RE ON THE WRONG ROUTE 12!!! THE "U" MEANS UNOVA, AND WE'RE IN KANTO!!!>

Raikou: <...Oh.>

Suicune: -Facepalms- <Erk! Such a stupid mistake...>

You really think so, Tagg?

- Is trying not to laugh at Wolf's comment so that I'd ruin the mood -

(thinking) Sure Wolf, why not? This situation has probably had so many Mind Screw moments for Anom already, another one probably wouldn't do any more damage! Except that Anom might find himself questioning your sanity...

-Vanilluxe tells me what Wolf just said-

Haha, very funny.

Yes, I do. Besides, I'm a horrible liar anyway.

- Smiles -

Thanks Tagg.

(thinking) Now, if only I could get Jane to see that as well...

-has been watching Anakin fly around, holding Qui-Gon. Noticing the others, I wave at Anakin and run over to them. Anakin lands beside us and takes Qui-Gon-

Hey, guys. Where are we going?

Just thought I'd offer.
