ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Heh. I hate it when things go slowly. It makes me bored and I want to tear my hair out when I have nothing to do.

- Shrugs again -

Maybe I'm just better at finding ways to keep myself entertained than you are.

I don't mind the lulls to be honest, they're great for getting your bearings.

I don't know. I hate it when nothing is happening. I feel bored and I think too much about things and then my thoughts go places I don't want them to and I hate it. That's why I always want something to be happening, and when it happens I want it to end quickly and then have something else happen and I can't tell if this is destructive or not but I hate going slow so there.

So you need distractions to keep yourself from thinking dark thoughts?

-Articuno finishes packing and sits next to Moltres-

Me: What do you mean "Match"?

Susan: <The one by which the human becomes beast... Such that mine is by which the beast becomes human...>

Me: Wait, you mean Wolf or Anom was right?

Susan: <Yes...>

Well, I like to do things my own pace... Sometimes I feel like I have rush things in order to keep up with the rest of you guys, and sometimes that can make me a bit stressed and... uncomfortable. I usually manage to keep up, but...

I keep getting left behind when we go somewhere new. That's what bugs me. I need to keep up better.

No, not dark as in evil. I just want things to be happening because otherwise I get bored.

Ho-oh: Now then, I guess the best course of action would be to find where the Pokémon Pinchers' are operating from. Do any of you have any clue where that may be?

-Me and the beasts exchange awkward glances, none of us having any clue to where they may be.-

...No. We don't have any clue.

Ho-oh: ...I see. Well then, I guess we'll just have to keep our eyes and ears open. Oblivia isn't that big of a region, and with the amount of ground you and your friends have covered, finding them shouldn't be too hard.

Ho-oh: Now, we still have much to discuss, so we should really find somewhere more comfortable. But first...

-Ho-oh turns around, lowering himself in the process.-

Ho-oh: ...Why don't we find your friends and let them know that you've brought me here? I'm certain they'll have some valuable insight on this whole Pokémon Pinchers matter as well.

Oh, okay then...

-I walk over and climb onto the massive bird's back, taking a seat next to his head.-

Ho-oh: Are you on?

Yeah, I am. But what about the beasts?

Suicune: <Don't worry Luke. Our master has this one taken care of.>

What do you mean by that?

Ho-oh: Well, why don't you see for yourself?

-Ho-oh takes to the air, flapping his huge wings.-

Ho-oh: Now, where are your friends Luke?

They're at Mt. Sorbet apparently.

Ho-oh: I see.

-The legendary bird turns around to face in Mt. Sorbet's direction.-

Ho-oh: Are you all ready back there?

Suicune: <I'm ready Master.>

Entei: <READY TO GO MASTER!!!>

Raikou: <Ready when you are, nya!>

-Ho-oh smiles to himself.-

Ho-oh: Excellent. Now, AWAY!

-Ho-oh flies away towards the mountain, leaving a rainbow trail in his wake.-

Suicune: <Okay everyone, let's go!>

-The beasts cry loudly, then leap onto the Rainbow trail Ho-oh has left in his wake. Surprisingly, the rainbow is solid under their feet!-

Raikou: <Nya! Been a while since we've done this!>

Entei: <ENTEI AGREES! IT'S BEEN FAR TOO LONG!>

Suicune: <Hey guys! Race you!>

-Suicune dashes off at high speed along the trail after us.-

Raikou: <Hey, wait up!>

Entei: <ENTEI ISN'T GOING TO LOSE!>

-The remaining beasts run after her as Ho-oh carries me to Mt. Sorbet.-

Now all Raikou needs is a giant poptart floating alongside him obscuring most of his body.

-Sees Luke on Ho-oh in the distance-

Hey look! A rainbow bird is heading this way!

I meant dark as in depressing. I don't like being inside my mind for too long, for instance.

-Hears Fool-

What are talking ab- It's Ho-Oh!

... Did you hear what I just said, Jane?

At least he's not singing the Nyah song.

Ho-oh: Almost there! I'd wrap up warm if I were you Luke.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

-I zip my jacket up, then pull a scarf and some gloves out of my bag and put them on.-

That's better.

Ho-oh: Excellent. GET READY FOR LANDING EVERYONE!

Suicune: <Ready!>

Raikou: <Nya, ready!>

Entei: <ENTEI IS READY!>

-Ho-oh begins his decent.-

-Moltres looks out towards the horizon-

Moltres: <Oh great, Ho-oh's coming over.>

Articuno: <I knew we were taking too long to get Zapdos.>

Moltres: <Ho-oh's flying rather low though, looks like he might try landing on the slopes. That's a little dangerous...>

I get to meet Ho-oh? Yay!

Is it just me, or were you guys walking awfully close to the fourth wall on the last page?

Dinner.

- Looks over at Ho-oh for a moment -

(only sounding mildly surprised) ... Oh, it's Ho-oh.

- Turns my attention back to Jane -

Yeah... DS was leaning on the fourth wall a bit there. Good thing she didn't fall through that large hole that is still there in my section of the fourth wall after Anom's Volcarona nearly destroyed the whole fourth wall several pages back...

... I should probably have someone fix that soon.

I just buried a Creeper alive underground. Does this make me a bad person?

There's Luke! And Suicune, Entei and Raikou too!

edited 6th May '11 4:28:23 PM by PippingFool

No.

The fourth wall's been practically shattered.

@Fool: Maybe if you were like Cook-Cook.

Perhaps we should go see Zapdos after Ho-Oh lands.

-says nothing-

-Ho-oh comes down onto a clear spot near everyone else, The beasts all hopping off his Rainbo Trail and landing nearby. Once he's settled, Ho-oh bends down to let me off.-

Thank you Ho-oh.

Ho-oh: My pleasure.

-Ho-oh turns his attention to everyone else.-

Ho-oh: Hello Trainers. So nice to see you all again.

- Sighs, and looks away from Jane -

(thinking) Oh, what's the point?

- I look over at Ho-oh -

Hi there.
