ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Petalburg City — Last Night

-Sarah shakes her head-

Sarah: It really wasn't. I started out with one huge mistake that cost me the entire match, and even then...

-She sighs-

Sarah: I can handle losses, but still. That was just... brutal.

-Petalburg City— Last Night-

Well, don't dwell on it. That will just make it worse. Come on, let's go get those chicken wings, and I can help you come up with a better game plan for your next battle. Sound good?

Petalburg — You know what, let's just say Petalburg lost 24 hours of temporal existence and this is now taking place today.

Sarah: Right...

-Her stomach rumbles. Sarah tints slightly.-

Sarah: ...I'm kinda hungry anyway.

Twilight Trail

-Maggie blinks-

Maggie: ...Darn you statements that are worded in a way to make you look bad but you can't really refute...

-she hears Candace-

...And you for making it worse.

-She thinks a bit, then says something-

<...Okay, to be honest, we need that star to keep something bad from happening to a friend of mine and I think he told you and probably a bunch of other people that to get you on his side.>

-Petalburg-

Great! Let's go!

-Leads Sarah through Petalburg to a restaurant called Bouffalant Wild Wings-

Twilight Town

Sunflora: <So you are going to beat me up!>

-A group of normal Sunflora find the shiny one in the fog.-

Sunflora 1: <Is something wrong, Amazy Dayzee?>

Amazy Dayzee: <Yes, Crazee! These creeps are, like, trying to beat me up!>

Sunflora Crazee Dayzee: <Whoa, that's not cool. Bug off, creeps!>

-All the Sunflora suddenly start whistling.-

The horde of Sunflora used Grass Whistle!

Petalburg City

-Sarah stumbles after Rebecca-

Sarah: Geez, it's been forever since I've been to one of these.

Goombella: <Wait, wh->

Candace: <...>

-They both collapse onto the ground.-

Twilight Trail

Maggie: <...Hey, I never said thaaat...>

-She falls asleep-

-Sweetie and Slightly fall asleep as well-

Banquo: <...If you're done freaking out over nothing, can we be on our way?>

Banquo's Insomnia kept him awake!

-Petalburg City-

Gamer used to drag me here whenever we were visiting dad. It was his favorite restaurant, and it eventually won me over with its awesomeness.

Twilight Town

Amazy Dayzee: <Aah! He's, like, still up!>

-They panic, use a flurry of Leaf Storms, and promptly flee.-

Petalburg

Sarah: I don't blame you. Or him, for that matter.

Lavaridge Town

-A young man is walking through the city, a Lapras by his side-

Siren: <I just don't get humans.>

Pianis: What do you mean?

Siren: <Look at all this. Pokémon are supposed to adapt to their environment. But you... you make the environment change for you instead. Why? Why do you build so much stuff?>

Pianis: Well, many reasons. It gives us a comfortable place to live, and keeps us safe from the weather. And besides, it's not like Pokémon don't build their own dwellings.

Siren: <Okay, sure, but not like this... And it's not just the places you change. What about that whole ball capturing thing? How is taking a Pokémon and forcing it to be your servant okay?>

Pianis: It's not like that. Well, not entirely.

Yukikaze: <I like to think of it more as a partnership. We both work with each other and we accomplish more than either of us could alone. If it wasn't for him, I'd probably still be at that ice cream stand in Unova.>

Siren: <What about the ball thing though? How is that fair?>

Pianis: The ball is an ease-of-transport thing, mainly. If we didn't have them, well, with all the Ice types that follow me I'd be a walking snowstorm.

Yukikaze: <You say that like it's a bad thing.>

Siren: <So you're the only one who makes any decisions?>

Pianis: What?

Siren: <Since you hold power over everymon else in your group with those little prison balls.>

Pianis: You're starting to sound like a Team Plasma grunt.

Siren: <A what?>

Pianis: Never mind.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Twilight Trail

-Banquo is struck by the Leaf Storm flurry-

Banquo: <...Seriously?...>

-He then faints, his book shield-ish thing coming down-

-The person Shade is talking to is, in actuality, the Gym Guy-

Gym Guy: "Uh, I'm actually not a trainer here."

"Or Flannery for that matter."

-blink- "My mistake, do you know where she is? Or how to find her?"

Decisions were made regrets were had.

Twilight Trail

-After a short while, when members of the group start waking up, they'll notice that the fog is starting to get even thicker. The lights in town are barely noticeable, and little else is.-

Twilight Trail

-As Maggie and co wake up, they notice precisely that-

Maggie: <...This is getting irritating.>

Sweetie: <You shall not keep us from our goal, dense fog!>

Lavaridge Gym

Gym Guy: "Just go through the series of trapdoors and geysers and you should find her."

Lavaridge Gym

"Oh, ok, thanks."

Shade proceeds through the long labyrinth of traps and gysers.

"Thank goodness. I can't belive I got through that in one piece. Ok, now where the heck is she???"

This ok Honch?]

Lavaridge

"Yes, indeed I am. I would like to challenge you for a Gym badge. Now, what are the rules and regulations that I must adhere to?"

-Maggie may notice Nico is nowhere to be found-

Contact Me!

Lavaridge Gym

"Agreed."

Shade thinks hard about his first Pokemon, mostly because it will determine how the battle progresses.

"Go, Rex!"

Rex comes onto the battlefield, stomps a crater into the floor, and roars a large kingly Tyrannosaurus Rex roar.

<Are you ready for this?>

-Morgi is here.-
