ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Mauville Anomaly

(The "woman" places an overly rigid hand on Lance's shoulder, still smiling oddly.)

???: Now, now, there's no need for that! I merely wish to discuss your role in my future business prospects with you!

(Quanta raises an arm to do something to the "woman", only to suddenly recoil as if in shock and shrink back slightly.)

-Morgi scratches her head.-

Probably, yeah. So ghosts go to school?

Mauville Anomaly

Lance:My...role?

-Blink-

Mother...what's happening...?

Mauville Anomaly

Quanta: ~I don't know, honey. This thing has the most twisted psychic signature I've ever read... I don't think it's a being of this world...~

???: (in a much snappier, more fluid tone) You know what? I'm not even going to pretend she's wrong.

(Quanta blinks in horror at the entity's apparent ability to intercept her private mental communications.)

???: So now that you've gotten to business, let's be incredibly clear about this - I am not a being of this world, narrow-minded as your definition of "this world" is, and you...

(She jabs a bony finger in the direction of the machine.)

...are trespassing on my property.

Sleep time

Petalburg

-Notices Lane-

Hey Lane.

Grey Ruins

-The group of mons have now made it to the deepest portion of the Ruins-

Unfezant: <And here's where the path to Glitch City would have been.>

Audilith: <Four years guys, four years.>

Sirius the Stoutland♂: <Do you guys think we'll end up fighting another Glitch again?>

Musashi: <I certainly hope not.>

Petalburg

Lane:Oh, Tagg! I was looking for you. Sorry. Kinda got lost on the way here.

-He rubs his head sheepishly-

That's fine. So you still want that training, eh?

Petalburg

-Lane smirks-

Lane:Of course! That's half of why I'm here!

And the other?

Petalburg

Lane:Well...challenging Norman.

-He chuckles, scratching his nose.-

Alright, I'll just use Forecaster.

Forecaster: -Tilts body- <Are you sure this is a good idea?>

-Looking at Lane-

<He looks really green.>

Petalburg

-Lane sweatdrops-

Yay, vote of confidence...

Lane:Alright.

Alright, let's do this!

Forecaster: -Takes up a battle position-

Petalburg

Lane:Let's go!

-He throws out a Slugma.-

Forecaster, use Rain Dance!

Forecaster: -Chants as the sky turns dark-

Petalburg

Hm...Rain to dampen fire...and now Forecaster's Water type too...

Lane:Rock Slide!

-Marco sends a cascade of rocks toward Forecaster.-

Forecaster: -Doesn't really take much damage- <Ow!>

-Prepares to use Weather Ball-

Nope.

-Hydro Pump-

Nope.

Forecaster: <Oh fine.>

-Fires a Water Gun-

Petalburg

Marco:<...Meep!>

-Down to red.-

Lane:Ooooooh, this is gonna suck. Smog!

-And the fire slug belches up some poisonous gas.-

Forecaster: -To Marco- <You did better than I thought you would, I figured you'd be fainted with just one attack, especially with all this rain.>

-And spits out another Water Gun-

Petalburg

Marco:<Oh, tha-> -sploosh!- @_@

Crap...

-Lane recalls Marco and sends out Candlewax-

Candlewax:<Hah! This'll be cake.>

-Uses Wil-o-wisp-

Forecaster: -Gets burned- <You know, this is getting annoying.>

-Fires a likely crit strength Water Gun-

Petalburg

Lane:Energy Ba-

-Crit!-

Candlewax:<Owowowowowowow....>

Lane:>_< Alright...alright, ya got me... >_>

-Tossing Forecaster a Rawst Berry as the rain subsides-

Hey, if you can give my mons scratch damage, you have a decent chance of beating that Francis jerk. Remember, weather has decided the course of many a battle in history. Pokémon battles are no different.

Petalburg

Lane:Meaning moves like Sunny Day will be possible game changers for me?

Pretty much, you want to make sure Francis can't set up a Rain Dance or Drizzle on you, and if he does be prepared to use the environment against him.
