ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Sea of Kyogre, Buoy #1

-the smell is clearly not blood-

-a human would compare it to rotten eggs-

-it seems to be coming from the ocean floor-

Dragonscorched Fishery

-Selene and Earwen look at each other.-

Selene: Uh, Penti? Are we missing something here?

Earwen: ~I think I might have a vague idea what's going on...~

Slateport

"A good ninja should be prepared for anything, right?"

Gekkobi adds his own signature with a little Frogadier head. Glances to Teishi for a moment, then adds a little Greninja 'hand print' in for the squad before handing the paper to Alyssa-

"It's no problem!"

Slateport

Lane:Hm...what to do today...

Hugo:<If you didn't sleep so late, you'd find something.>

-He may be encountered.-

Slateport

"There you go, Alyssa. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day." said Shingeko, only to soon freeze as he realized what he just said "I can't believe I blew it at the last second..."

-Pent calms his breathing and steps back up to Frankie-

Why did you come back?

Frankie: Come back? I never left.

So you've been here since..?

Frankie: Since the dragons attacked a year ago, yes.

... That's impossible. Or at least there's something going here that I can't figure out.

Frankie: Why?

Because the dragons attacked ten years ago. And you haven't aged ten years.

Slateport

-She cheerfully takes the paper-

Alyssa: Thank you so much—

-Beat-

Alyssa: ...You... know me...?

-Beat-

Alyssa: Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh you know me eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

-She squeals in happiness... which is soon followed by her swoon-fainting again.-

Maurice: <Called it.>

Dragonscorched Fishery

Earwen: Yep, knew it.

Selene: Wait... are we in some... time distortion?

Earwen: You'd be surprised how often islands just seem to get... "lost". My theory is that Dialga and Palkia aren't good at keeping maps.

???

-here, we have a conga line; a rather joyous occasion, all things considered. Joseph heads the front of the line, giggling wildly, hiccuping slightly-

-Munn is behind him, chuckling and whispering behind him into his ear-

-then, Samantha: a begrudging smirk across her face as she moves forward, looking about-

-Kirsten is next, moving perfectly in beat to the percussion-heavy music playing-

-Alys is next, hands positioned on her shoulder so that Kirsten can't move out of line-

-and finally, tugging on the hem of Alys' skirt, is Mimmy, smiling gaily-

-one by one, they dance merrily into a meat mincer-

Joe and Munn's Room

-Joseph opens his eye, blearily-

-still not entirely awake, he turns his head to and fro to see if Tinny's out of her ball. She isn't-

-he sighs, takes his blanket and cuddles up with it, and tries to fall back asleep-

Slateport, last night

Honchcorvus: <Yeah.>

<Anyway, what've you been up to since coming back?>

Sea of Kyogre, 1. Aqua Buoy

-Chum shows a bit of disgust at the scent-

Chum: <...Well, there's a chance whatever it is is linked to the high temperature.>

-He starts swimming toward the bottom-

Slateport

Shingeko quickly catches Alyssa as she faints once again "I don't think I ever saw Alyssa get this happy before. I'm glad I could make her like that but I don't think she understand that she's not exactly light..."

-Pent nods-

Yeah, time's wibbly, that's gotta be it.

-He ponders something-

How would a dragon attack trigger a...

-Frankie's just standing there, sorta confused. Pent looks up and spots the shirt-

You got that 2 years before the dragon attack, right?

Frankie: Uh... Yeah? How'd you... What's going on?

I knew because... Because I'm... Bunboy... >_>

Frankie: -Blinks a little- Huh, you got tall kiddo.

Yes, because I spent 10 years growing up while you've been here one. According to what I know, you should of gotten that shirt in 2000.

Frankie: That the year? You know we don't really count the year here.

Exactly, that's what I'm pondering. Why would a shirt from 2000 have an advert for an obscure band from three decades prior?

Slateport

-Gekkobi chuckles-

"Uh, heh... Guess there really can be too much of a good thing"

{I guess They know eachother out of costume then...?}

-Lane might be poked by a certain red-haired and jacketed 'girl'-

Near Cons, past

Odin: Oh?

Slateport

-Once the brief moment of whiting out passes, all the excitement leaves Alyssa more or less asleep.-

Maurice: <...Welp. She's out for the night.>

Last Night

Lucius: Oh, you know, just sorta... catching up. Kinda only got a few glimpses of the living world while I was holed up in limbo.

Sea of Kyogre, 1. Aqua Buoy

-the source of the smell, and, apparently, the heat, is a small vent in the seafloor emitting heated, sulfrous water-

-the buory's sensor package is down by the anchor, and thus the vent-

Odd-Colored Corsola: -is basking by the vent-

<Yum..... suuuuulfer....>

Slateport

Lane:Hm?

-turns toward the "girl"-

Oh...hey Juni.

Hugo:<Ah, hello, Ms. Juniper.>

Slateport

"<We could bring her back home.>" said Sensei

"<Yeah, leaving such a sweet girl uncounscious in the streets is of rather bad taste.>" said Shadow.

"I guess I ended up making her too happy. Three times in a row." said Shingeko, sighing.

Neo-Flare, TS

Constantin: You are the only scientist I have at the moment. and while your work is good, if... unique. I was wondering if you would like any more scientists under your belt to assist in your work.

Dragonscorched Fishery

Earwen: Because time has gone weird. Just like the distortion areas in the Ranger regions.

Selene: Wait, how do you-

Earwen: I've been around for a while.

-Selene scratches her nose.-

Selene: Wait, so... Um, okay, let me figure this out...

Slateport

"Guess we'll be more careful next time"

-Gekkobi pats Shingeko's back and turns to Maurice-

"Sorry about this, would you mind showing the squad what room to take her to?"

Juniper: "Hello Lanie, Hugo. How are you tonight~?"

So how long has this been going on?

-Pent doesn't expect anyone to answer, so he just steps back to the entrance-

... That... That might explain things.

-Pent rummages in his pockets for a scrap of paper he'd been scribbling on at some earlier point-

I need to find some documents, hopefully a family tree...

Slateport

Maurice: <Sure. Right this way.>

-He hops off toward the hotel-

Slateport, yesterday

Honchcrow: <Ah.>

<Did you get your team back or are they still with your sister?>

Sea of Kyogre, 1. Aqua Buoy

-Chum blinks-

Slateport

Lane:I'm doing alright.

Hugo:<As am I!>

-Beat-

Lane:You aren't stalking me, are you?
