ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Psyche hugs tightly. ~I know, hon...~

Lithos pops out of the pokeball, immediately positioning himself between the man and Deziree.

<Run. Please.>

The man puts a hand on Lithos shoulder, still grinning.

"Now, Lithos, that's very rude of you. I'm being VERY civil."

He looks back up at Deziree.

"Sorry about that."

A sudden revelation and finger-point. "Hey, you're the guy that threw my water bottle on the ground! And it was kind of rude!" A hand over the mouth. ''Oh shit I said that out loud."

Summerland

Dune: What if she accidentally Slips every time she makes something that shouldn't work by the laws of physics as we know them?!

Deziree: Uh... huh.

Doofenshmirtz: <Just so you know, he hasn't stopped grinning since we saw him.>

Fine Fields

Ever: <Well, this is exciting.>

Fine Fields, forest

Mezzo: <Don't panic.>

-Mezzo steals the missile before it can hit Juliet... which causes her to step straight into the Dazzling Gleam-

Mezzo: <Owwww!>

-being hit by the blast also causes her to drop the missile, which crashes into the ground-

Summerland

Fortis: And I miss her and I'm so sad and miss Noelle is trying to cheer me up but all I can think about is Lanie and I want to play with her again but she's gone...

-Fortis hugs Psyche tightly and starts crying on her shoulder-

Fine Fields Forest

-Juliet flails-

<Sorry! Panicked!> D:

Huh, that would make a little sense.

-Shrugs-

"So, you're off your nut too, huh? How is that?" An odd question.

Fine Fields

Ever: <Mezzo, you okay?>

Psyche gives all of the hugs. ~I know how it feels to lose someone close to you...~

Summerland

Elise:Suuuure. But whatever, it's not like you have to accept it...and plus you're probably not going to be in Inkay form for a while, so it's okay.

-Elsewhere, a certain Archeops lands on the pier with Straw on board-

Summerland

Deziree: It's... kinda conflicting...

-Deziree is still having trouble making sense of this very surreal conversation.-

Dune: Oh, hey Tagg.

Summerland

Vierr: And I'm going to do my damn best to make sure I don't go squiddy ever again.

The man laughs aloud, leaning on his very nervous Aerodactyl.

"Well, it would be, wouldn't it? It's not like anyone finds insanity fun." Suddenly there are tears pouring down the man's face, though the smile never leaves.

Summerland

Elise:Well, good luck with that.

-Beat-

Elise:...You know, the beach is kinda boring at night.

Fine Fields, forest

Mezzo: <I'm okay, I think. What was that, though?>

Summerland

Fortis: -hugs tighter-

Noelle: You do? What was that like?

Dopants quickly scoots over to Deziree and whispers. "What is going on here? ._."

Fine Fields Forest

-Juliet calms-

<It's called a Dazzling Gleam. It's a...Fairy type move? I don't know how I did it, though.>

Fine Fields, forest

SleepyHead: <Uh, I think it was Dazzling Gleam, a Fairy-type move.>

Psyche gulps. ~I lost my mother when I was 6. She was amazing, always knew what to say to make me feel better when I was sad... I was distraught when she died. My dad was worse off, though. He ended up blaming me for what she was going through and abandoned me...~

Fine Fields Forest

-Ammon is still blinking due to the bright light-

<What do you mean you don't know how you did it?>

Summerland

-Doofenshmirtz responds to Dopants for Deziree.-

Doofenshmirtz: <I think they're communicating on a level we cannot comprehend.>

-Deziree's face twists in confusion before a hint of clarity shines through.-

Deziree: ... You're... like me... When did you break...?

Summerland

Vierr: We could always go and head into the jungle or something. That's sure to be interesting.

Summerland, near the two Sableye

Joseph: ...you know, I don't know what you are, but I'm pretty sure that my boyfriend could take you two.
