ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Petalburg

(Mikki glares half-heartedly at Mako.)

Mikki: If this is your way of trying to apologise, it's not working.

Twitch: <So, uh, seriously. What's your name again? Only, my sister always helped me remember stuff like that...> ^_^;

Endless Explosions

-the group climbs over a short hill and finds themselves right in front of a particular Ledian, hovering near a pool of lava-

Bandanna Puff: <Hah, got you now!>

Taranza: <You again!?>

Bandanna Puff: <Return our king at once!>

Taranza: <I don't think so!>

-Taranza starts to fly away, but accidentally knocks Dedede's cage into a sleeping Politoed-

Politoed♂: <Who dares awaken the great Pyribbit?>

Taranza: <Uh...>

-Taranza points at Mezzo-

Taranza: <She did it!>

Mezzo: <Wait, what?>

Pyribbit: <Grr...>

-Taranza flies away; Mezzo tries to follow, but Pyribbit hops straight into her path-

Mezzo: <Okay, really? I don't need this right now. Out of my way.>

Pyribbit: <Who are you to order me around? I think I'll just burn you to cinders instead!>

Mezzo: -facepaw-

-while Mezzo is facepawing, Pyribbit spits a stream of flame at her-

Mezzo: <Yeowch!>

Petalburg

Vierr: ...Lycanthropy. Long story.

Virbank, past (About a couple minutes before the actual burial)

-Takes a breath before stepping in front of the gravesite-

Lucius, we didn't exactly get off on the right foot, and we didn't exactly end things on the right foot either. To this day I really wish I'd never killed all those Peons in Orre, because apart from the mental damage it did to me and my mons, if I hadn't done it you'd probably still be here.

-Clenching fist-

I mean, damn it you were only seventeen, at the cusp of adulthood only to have your life tragically cut short. And it's not fair, but life's never fair isn't it? Wasn't fair to me, and it certainly wasn't fair to you. I never truly gave up hope that we could reconcile, but it would appear that reconciliation won't be happening in this life.

-Turning towards Alice's grave-

I never got a chance to meet you, most of us didn't, but it's still a shame about what happened to you, caught in the crossfire of both our mistakes.

-Sighs-

And that's it, really.

-Steps back into the crowd-

After the burial

-As the others depart-

Aaron: <Are we going to go with them Tagg?>

No, I think I'd rather be alone for a bit.

Oldale Town, present

-To Crow-

Well most people tend to be incompetent with Dragon types so...

-Notices Meddler-

Could that be?

Endless Explosions

Crochet: <Whoa!>

Doc: <Is that Politoed a Delta?>

Oldale

-Crow does not know Meddler well. if at all, so he does not make note of her-

Crow: "Right, so any advice to be more competent?"

Endless Explosions

Gargoyle: <Politoed that breathes fire? Great...>

-He tries using a Whip Attack on it, while Ricin tries to roll into it-

-SleepyHead tries to hit it with a Zen Headbutt while Gumbomb tries hitting it with a Pound-

Endless Explosions

Ever: <Aww, hell.>

-Nitro begins generating ice knives and launching them at Pyribbit, while Ever uses Ancientpower-

Endless Explosions

Ammon: <Not sure what that means, but it least makes more sense than that Abomasnow earlier!>

-The Arcanine slams into the beast with Extreme Speed before bouncing away as Stark starts throwing rocks in a tomb-like manner-

Near Vierr

Robin: ...You're a weresquid?

...

-Doubles over laughing-

Rustboro

Jacob: -Has wandered here, with Regina, Sylva, and Voidstar out-

-Instead of being dressed in his usual suit and blue jacket, he's dressed in a red coat with a black suit under it, with white khakis somehow still meshing into the whole look, his Pokéball belt sided with two sheathes for the twin curved blades he has, his silver star pendant he got from Lyuri over a year ago dangling from his neck, a black hat hiding his face and his hands gloved as he looks over the city-

".... I almost missed this place." -He walks further into the city-

-Atop one of the apartment complexes, a large balding man in a purple suit with a comically large mustache looks down-

???: "... He's back?"

Petalburg

-Vierr grits his teeth-

Vierr: There's nothing funny about a weresquid. And I'm not one anymore anyway.

Petalburg

Morgi: I'm okay.

-to Darius- Hello there.

Rustboro

Blitz might get the following text

Meanwhile Jacob might run into a certain enthusiastic scientist, though she's not looking particularly enthusiastic today.

Near Vierr

-Robin gradually stops laughing-

Robin: S-Sorry... But good you got it cured.

Endless Explosions

-Pyribbit is directly hit by all of the attacks, and the combined force knocks him into the lava pool-

Mezzo: <That was easy.>

Fortis: <Yay!>

Noelle: <So where's our Sun Stone?>

-Sunny looks around the edge of the lava pool-

Sunny: <I don't see any Sun Stones here!>

-he is then interrupted by Pyribbit's head popping back out of the lava, then catching him with his long tongue-

Sunny: <Eep!>

-he then hops straight back out and spits Sunny at Noelle-

Noelle: <Eeeek!>

-Noelle hides under her bell, and Sunny clangs off harmlessly-

Sunny: <Watch out! He's powerful!>

Mezzo: <I think we already knew that, thanks.>

-the sunlight in the area seems to grow brighter-

Jacob: -Sees the scientist as he's walking along-

-Stops dead-

-Whips around-

"Hikari??"

Endless Explosions

Ever: <Just what we needed. More warmth.>

Nitro: <Eep! Sun!>

Ever: <...This is a LAVA world.>

Nitro: <It's different!>

-Nitro forms a tiny wind-up Froslass out of obscura, and sends it rushing at Pyribbit, while Ever curls up and rolls towards the Politoed-

Petalburg

Vierr: Yeah. That time wasn't fun. For more than just the weresquiddiness. In fact, that might have been the least unenjoyable part.

Route 101

Dune: Kinda quaint.

Deziree: Strangely warm!

Dune: That too.

-*SHIIIING~*-

Dune: ... Wait, what was that?

-Dune and Deziree turn towards the shine, and see an oddly colored Zigzagoon.-

Zigzagoon: ...

Dune: ...

Deziree: ...

Zigzagoon: ...

Dune: ... I don't have any Pokeballs on me.

Deziree: ... I don't either.

Zigzagoon: ...

Dune: ...

Deziree: ... I don't need one.

Zigzagoon: ...?

Dune: ...?

Deziree: ... *Step*

Zigzagoon: !

-The Zigzagoon tries to bolt. Deziree proceeds to bolt in turn.-

Petalburg

Maria:Nothing like Unova, that's for sure.

-Argo snuggles in Tori's arms.-

Darius:-snorts-<Who's the girl?>

Jason:Easy, man. This is Morgan, my cousin. Morgan, this is Darius.

Endless Explosions

-Shadow Ball! The strength depends if Maria is still fruit'd-

Hikari immediatelly turns around to see Jacob.

"Jacob!"

Petalburg

Morgi: Well, nice to meet you too. Oh, by the way, Jason, Mari wanted to ask Hikaru bout somethin'.

Endless Explosions

Doc: <Let's get 'em!>

Doc: <Take this!>

Oldale Town

Once again, what's the temperament of this Salamence?

Slateport

-The brown haired boy sets the phone down and sticks a Christmas card into it's envelope before sealing it-

Blitz: "There, just gotta make sure I get this taken care of tomorrow. Hope you don't mind ferrying me around a bit Down"

Down: <Honestly, I'm surprised how little ferrying I do lately. It's no problem>

Blitz: "Great! Alright Ammon, you ready to-"

-He turns around to see that his Arcanine and Aggron are both asleep, and completely unresponsive to his attempts to wake them-

"Well, so much for that plan..."

Endless Explosions

Ammon: <Well that's a dirty trick>

Stark: <Awwww, I was hoping that would do it...>

-They repeat their attacks-

Ammon: <It lives in a volcano and is apparently MADE of fire, it's probably just a warm bath to him!>

Rustboro

-Fortunately narrative convenience means we can skip the boring travel sequence and jump to the part where a Greninja and Natu have arrived here and begin heading for the hotel in search of someone they know-

A certain massive Pangoro with glasses is walking around. However, he is noticeably without he accompanying girl.
