ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Dusk Factory

The Auric Avenger: Just making sure that you understand our rules of engagement. And I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're telling the truth about your motivations, despite your efforts to court media attention. You're doing a good job here, and I'm not one to look a gift Ponyta in the mouth.

-He glances around.-

The Auric Avenger: You seem to have this situation under control. Unless you want to pay my base of operations a quick visit, I reckon I'll leave you be for now.

Fall City

-Once the man with the robotic arm is about halfway down the alley, a pair of voices ring out from somewhere just out of sight.-

??? 1: Looks like we've got ourselves another trespasser.

??? A: See? I knew we were on guard duty for a reason! C'mon, this is our chance to earn our keep!

-Two figures clad in spacesuits which the mysterious figure will probably also deem to be rather "retro" step out from their hiding spots, Pokeballs in hand.-

"I still have to see how you work as well, for all I know you could be lying to me this entire time."

Shingeko then looks around and then it dawns on him

"Guh... I got distracted, there was a third Illusion member here." he puts his hand on his helmet and sighs.

"You only noticed that now!? She's probably back at the base already!" said member A.

Fall City

Ajax: <Greetings, Psy- Pent. Sorry, not quite used to that yet. Anyway, Dune is looking for you. Perhaps we should meet up with him?>

Deziree: Yeah, that might be a good idea.

-Elsewhere, a certain young woman pulls herself out of her stowaway location on a nearby shipping vessel.-

Oggie: <OOF! Mizz Phosphora, explen to uz again vy ve needed to shtowavay on a boat?>

Phosphora: GAH! Because I finally figured out the problem - HRK! - with my Time Remote.

Dimo: <GRK! And zat vould be?>

Phosphora: Only *THUMP* Ow - my mother can fix it! So I need to find her and see if I can convince her to fix *WHACK* it without her realizing who I am!

Maxim: <Dat's a leetle difficult - hyu modder izn't eazy to fool. GOT'S FEESH EEN TROUZERS, Oggie, move hyu foot!>

Thanks to Silent for spagging this with me!

Kalos League, Past, [[/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12971269370A74820100&page=15041#376014 continued from here.]]

-Silent watches Sol slowly pull herself through the hailstorm; he signals for her to attempt to move closer, the Espeon complies lightly treading towards the opponent Abomasnow, enduring the extra damage from the hail-

Silent: Well, there goes trying to attack that way. Now go out with Signal Beam, Sol, and get ready to switch strategy.

-Sol nods then siphons energy from the ambient, filters what's Bug-type and adds some power of her own, to fire a two-colored beam at Wendi.-

-Wendi takes the super effective attack, sliding backwards on the slick ground.-

Wendi: <Clever girl.>

Sol: <Awww…> — frowns at the still standing Abomasnow.

Ren: Blizzard once again!

Sol: -hisses- <…Awwww!>

-Listening to the command, Shahinne puffs her feathers and tries to hide behind the bulkiest thing she can find around… of which there is not much at the moment-

Keys: -his gold key gleaming- <Sorry, it’s scarf weather isn’t it?>

-Small toboggans and scarves appear on the mon watching nearby.-

Wendi: <But hasn't anyone told you to stay out of the grass?>

-Wendi once again, harnessing the power of the hail storm she created, expels a mighty blast of icy air from her (now much larger) lungs at Sol as the wind from the hail storm strengths and expands Wendi's attack.-

-Sol yelps and is quick to attempt a retreat, though there's not much to do against the cold air; she stands her ground for a moment before letting herself be pushed back by the blast-

Sol: <…This is a bit too much for me to handle.> — to Silent — <Are you ready?>

-Silent produces another Pokéball and readies it; meanwhile Sol tries to shake the gelid air off, only to be buffeted by the hailstorm, bringing her to her knees-

-Sol manages to stand up, Silent nods at her and she summons the last of her fighting (not Fighting!) power to cast a Light Screen of indefinite shape around her-

Sol -looks at the misty protective energy: <I guess I won't get to profit from it.>

Wendi: <You should rest now, you’ll catch your death out here.>

Ren: No salt rubbing please, Wendi.

-Sol growls, her wet fur _trying_ to stand on end, but she is not in a position to do more than look threatening before she is hit once more by the effects of the Hail, and she passes out-

Silent: …Oookay. Not a bad work. I see you are getting the hand of this new Mega evolution business, Ren.

Ren: -nodding his head in thanks to Silent- The worst part is maintaining a link once there is one.

Silent: I can relate to that. Still, this ball should keep rolling.

-and after recalling Sol, tosses out the Pokéball, which opens to reveal Dintel the Sandshrew-

Dintel: -notices Ren- <...Oh? oh ha-> — is forced to notice the Hail — <…Ugh!>

-The Sandshrew takes some minute damage and a lot of discomfort from the Hail; fortunately, Sol's support come into effect and it materializes in the shape of two tall energy snowplows, each held a small distance in front of Dintel’s arms-

Ren: I must admit, Sol is really good at sculpting her Light Screens. But Wendi has talents too… Seed Bomb!

Silent: I guess Sol would say thank you if she could. Still… -curses under his breath.-

Wendi: <Fire in the hull!>

-As Silent curses, Wendi open her mouth, which shines a floral yellow color. Multiple glowing yellow seed-shaped projectiles that explode on impact are launched from Wendi's mouth.-

Silent: Dintel! Get close as you can and pick her up with Strength!

-Dintel does not look very happy at having to face a Seed Bomb but darts forward, curling into a ball to try and preserve as much momentum as he can when some of the projectiles strike his body.-

Python: -frowns, to Keys- <…Can I get one *before* he attacks?>

Keys: <Sure thing!> -looks around- <Oh! Here’s some Pokepuffs from Silent!>

-Keys produces a fresh platter of pokepuffs from somewhere-

Keys: -to Dintel- <So who we rooting for now?> >:D

Shahinne: <Go Dintel!> ^.^

Python: -tastes a Poképuff- <Dintel. As alwayssss.> — pretends he hadn’t switched sides short ago.

Shahinne: -leers at the two- <…You're silly! I’ll tell Silent later!>

Keys: >:D

-Dintel takes large damage which Sol's plows don’t manage to divert; he yells in pain and has to brake a bit from the impacts, but still looks capable to fight once he uncurls-

Dintel: <I don’t like those things.> — and summons Strength into his muscles.

-Dintel's STRENGTH makes him capable of pushing boulders Abomasnows around!-

-Then he walks up to Wendi, picks her up with some effort…-

Dintel: <Go away~!>

-...and kicks her away-

-Wendi, who is clearly not made for mobility, can't move away from Dintel fast enough. So, with Dintel’s kick, Wendi goes flying.-

Wendi: -right before gravity starts to do her job- <... At least he didn't kick me in the face.>

-As Wendi crashes into ground - and fainting due to the impact- her body glows as she shrinks back into her normal form.-

-Python is just finishing swallowing a Poképuff when Wendi crashes, seems to think for a moment who to root for now; Shahinne notices and glares at him-

Ren: -recalling Wendi- A fitting come back for one of my oldest stars. Now, for our fourth and final performer for today...

-Ren takes out a Lake Ball-

...Noah, your on next!

-As the Politoed takes the field, the air get warmer and hail clouds from before start to shower the field with a heavy rain.-

Noah: -whistles Singing in the Rain.-

-Silent looks up to the rain forming-

Silent: …Weather, why not. We should get to work on that. -sighs-

Ren: Noah, use Surf!

Noah: -starting to turn- <Well, there's no use wasting this opportunity.>

-As Noah turns, a large wall of water forms from his feet, rising up before it crashes down on the field a below.-

-Dintel frowns at the wall of water, but is already expecting how Silent will have him react-

Silent: There's no use trying to avoid that move. Dintel, Hone Claws into a Slash.

-Dintel drags his claws across the ground and then pumps his muscles to try and leap above the Surf wave; however because of the chain he is not fast enough to do it before the water wall hits him, severely injuring him. Pushed back a fair distance, he gasps and leaps at Noah with one paw rising, claws sharpened-

Noah: -surprised (because let's face it, not a lot of peoplemon expect a Sandshrew to survive a Surf - but this is Dintel we're talking about, so that point is moot) - <Yeesh. This will sting a bit.>

-Noah is Slash'd for good damage, sliding backwards from the impact and the now muddy ground.-

Keys: <Ren is going to hate walking across that for healing.> ~3~

-Python seems to sneer at the course the battle has taken; meanwhile Shahinne looks saddened-

-Silent takes a look at Dintel, who while not tired looks very hurt to continue for much longer-

Silent: Hmmm… I guess we take our shots where can. Dintel, if you can still attack try a Rock Tomb.

-Dintel nods, tries to stay not too close from Noah just in case-

Ren: Noah, Hypnosis!

Noah: -his eyes flash in a hypnotic yet soothing fashion-

-Dintel is starting to dig some pieces of the ground up to hurl them, but as he checks his target he starts falling into the trance of the Hypnosis-

Noah: <Have a peaceful sleep…>

Dintel: -tilts head- <…But I’m not sleeee…> -yawns-

Noah: -soothingly- <Yes you are~>

Dintel: <Amnnnnnngrrrnrnrn….> -yawns more loudly, sits on the ground-

Noah: -begins singing to support his move-

-Dintel seems to enjoy the tune, and after tilting his body back and forth for a moment falls flat on his belly, too asleep to even curl into a ball-

Ren: -turning to Silent- Silent, would you agree to a ceasefire? Dintel is hurt and any of Noah's Water-type attacks, save Bubble, would be overkill.

Silent: -waves a hand- It's fine by me. I’m not keen on Dintel getting to sleep with his body wet, and he looks like he's enjoying the nap anyway.

Ren: Right, the rain. Kitsune?

Kitsune: <On it, Sweetie!>

-Kitsune flicks one of her tails at the rain clouds, causing them to disperse and the sun begin to shine brightly.-

-Silent quickly recalls Dintel, before the Sandshrew is woken up, though he seems to give it more thought after the fact-

Silent: Hmmm… perhaps for later… many of my Pokémon would enjoy the extra sun.

-Meanwhile, Python approaches a remaining Poképuff and swallows it whole-

Keys: -wearing some shades- <The sun was shining on the sea~>

-Ren tosses a Max Revive to Silent.-

Ren: For Sol.

Silent: -grabs it and nods at Ren- Thanks, Ren. But -points behind him- you do realize we're this close to the Pokécenter, right?

-Shahinne meanwhile flies around to catch some of the sunlight, then draws some circles around Kitsune-

Shahinne: <Eeeee~ Hello. How do you do that? Can I do that?>

Kitsune: -smiling- <Yes, I believe you can.>

Ren: -sweatdrops at Silent’s words- Eh-heheheh. Oh yeah. Sorry, I don't like letting Pokémon stay hurt too long after a friendly battle.

Silent: I can absolutely understand that. That was a very good battle, by the way.

Ren: Thank you, Silent. My team and I worked hard to get strong enough to challenge the league.

-Shahinne trills a pleasant note as she flies around more and lands besides Python-

-A booming voice is suddenly heard from some foliage.-

???: <But have you simpletons grown strong enough to challenge us, kupo?>

Ajax: <Very well - would you, ah, like some help, Pent? You appear to be having some difficulty walking with that leg brace.>

Deziree: Ee-yeah, it's been a problem for a while - I promised Psyche to make her an exo-leg so that she can walk normally on it, buuuuut... It's not anywhere near finished yet.

Fall City

The young man was busy admiring Fiorian architecture...

???: Oh my! Such delicate architecture, such fine masonry! No wonder why mother spoke so highly of this place~

...Until he hears the voices of the peons echoing through the alleyway.

??? -Doing a rather stumbly 180- GLUWAAGH! -Looking at the the two grunts- Eh heh heh... Erm... Bonjour good fellows? Are these crazy, mixed up folks wearing Galactic outfits? I thought that team bit the dust years ago! Um... Is there anything I can do for you?

The Unfezant and Talonflame huddle around their trainer.

Archimedes: <Why didn't you stop him!?>

Hipparchus: <Why didn't YOU stop him!?>

-Nodnod-

Catacombs

Well?

Catacombs

<Genesect: "Very well.">

Munn sighs with relief.

Catacombs

Good. Would you like to go now, then?

Catacombs

<Genesect: "No time like the present. Go. Before I change my mind.">

Fall City

Ajax: <Alright then - alli-oop!>

-He lifts Pent by her armpits and sets her on his shoulders, being careful not to hurt her on any of his back spikes.-

Ajax: <You are considerably lighter than I expected, though I shouldn't be surprised.>

Deziree: Can I ride too?

Ajax: <No.>

Deziree: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaw! D=

-Giggles -

Dusk Factory

The Auric Avenger: ...I take back my earlier comment about you having everything under control. I'll see if I can catch sight of her on my way out.

-He taps a button on his waist that sends a grappling hook shooting into a nearby wall, but pauses before rappelling away.-

The Auric Avenger: ...For what it's worth, if you want proof that I follow my own rules, then I'll be more than willing to provide it. My partner thinks you're some sort of spy, only doing this to gain our trust before ratting us out to one of our enemies, but I don't believe her. I reckon that together we'll be stronger than we could ever hope to be alone.

-And with that comment, he disappears, the grappling hook pulling him out of sight in seconds.-

Fall City

-The first Neo-Galactic Grunt approaching the man with the robotic arm sends out a Graveller.-

Neo-Galactic 1: Yeah, if you'd be so kind as to keel over and die for us, that'd be really appreciated.

Graveller: <I'm a fish.>

-The second grunt sends out a Dedenne.-

Neo-Galactic A: Ignore my partner's comment. You dying would mean an utter mountain of paperwork for us. But still, you're getting dangerously close to Neo-Galactic's base of operations in this city, and we can't just let that go unpunished.

Ajax: <Very well!>

-Ajax makes off toward the Pokemon Center, almost leaving Deziree in his dust.-

Deziree: Wait for me!

Catacombs

-nods, and blips-

Wheeee!

Pokemon Village

<Genesect: "Hmm. Interesting. I shall take that cave.">

The Genesect immediately flies over to the Unknown Dungeon and crawls inside.

"Well... mission complete, I guess."

Pokemon Village

Yeah, it is...

-smiles a bit-

Pokemon Village

"Everything alright, sugar?"

-Slowing down at a comfortable rate, Ajax arrives outside the Pokemon Center with a dust cloud trailing behind him. Deziree barely keeps up, her hair and clothes coated in dust.-

Deziree: *Cough, cough!*

Ajax: <Sorry!> ;)

Fall City

The man makes rather ungracious and unmanly high pitched whine.

???: -Nervous laugh- Um... Maybe we could sort this out like gentlemen rather than like thugs?

Hipparchus: <Smooth.>

Archimedes: <That's not going to provoke them in the slightest >v> >

???: ...If it's money you want, I am obscenely wealthy. Would you leave me alone if I paid you? ^_^;;

The man is slowly walking backwards as the two grunts approach him.

Fall Center

-Ajax steps inside.-

Ajax: <I like staying fit. I find it's a good type of meditation.>

-Dune, Garuda and Selene all look up at Pent, Ajax, and Deziree.-

Dune: There you guys are! Wait... Dezi?

-Deziree waves, playing with her short, brunette hair.-

Deziree: I may have had fun with the amulet~
