ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Fortree - Past

Jacob: "Ah no no no I mean I do, but I don't need that."

-Points to his nose- "I just have a bloody nose. It's allergy season so I have bad sinus drainage. The result is all my blood running back down my throat and me coughing it up."

Fortree - past

Fletcha: "Ohhhh I see..."

"With the whole coughing up blood I assumed it was a lot worse than just bad allergies and a bloody nose."

"Now I feel a bit silly." -he chuckles-

Aqua Resort

-a young man with mousy-brown hair sits on a bench, looking at many different pedestrians go by. He's not exactly people watching, though-

Terry: I don't know what I'm doing here, where am I supposed to go, oh jeez, oh gosh...

-he takes numerous deep breaths to calm himself, none of which seem to do much good. His Togekiss pats his shoulder-

Gabriel: <Look, you just need to pull yourself together for a little bit. You want a job, don't you? A legal one?>

Terry: Yeah...I don't know why he wanted me here of all places, though. There are too many people here! What's wrong with an office? Offices are tidy and mostly quiet and...

-Gabriel is doing his best to remain patient-

Gabriel: <He doesn't have an office. Um...>

-he thinks-

<Try and listen and see if you can find him. Noise is a lot less scary if you concentrate on just one aspect.>

-Terry nods-

Terry: Oh...OK...

-he gulps and listens to the conversations of people passing by-

-two older men pass by, one lagging behind slightly due to needing a cane-

Old Man 1: Oh, hold up, please? I just need a minute...

Old Man A: Alright...I guess everyone can't be as sprightly as me in my old age!

Old Man 1: Lydia nags you to use your cane all the time, and don't try to deny it, George.

-after them, a tall black-haired woman is catching up on the phone with an old acquaintance-

Woman: My brothers? Well, Viktor's married, so don't get your hopes up. Evgeni's free, if you want him, though!

-she laughs loudly, before being cut off-

No, we don't talk about Mikhail...

-and after her, a married couple, sounding concerned-

Man: Shouldn't we have done something about that homeless girl? I mean, she was just talking to herself like that...she needed help, didn't she?

Woman: Well, if it came to that all those Gardevoirs could help her.

-Terry goes incredibly pale at that and suddenly stands up-

Gabriel: <Sit down.>

Terry: ...OK...

-shaking, he sits back down-

Fortree - Past

Jacob: "Nah it's fine, most people would assume something is really really wrong. Granted I should have been more worried. The last time I was coughing up blood I was being wrecked by a hemotoxic-neurotoxic cocktail. But I could feel this coming down my throat not up it."

"..."

"And that sounded far more disgusting than I imagined."

Lilycove Pokémon Center

-Jacob is in his room watching TV-

Regina: <Jacob shouldn't you go outside? It's wonderful weather->

Jacob: "I'M LEARNING"

Regina: <But you can't mimic what they do in anime that's not how reality works!>

Jacob: "WATCH ME"

Salcura: <He's in one of his weird moods, huh?>

Neso: <Yup!>

Lilycove Pokemon Center

Diane: To be fair, he does manage to mimic that stuff fairly frequently anyway.

-Where did she come from-

-Why is she hanging upside down from a bar on the ceiling-

-Why is there a bar on the ceiling-

-Who installed that there-

-That shouldn't be there-

-She shouldn't be there-

-What gives-

Jacob: "GAH!!" -Flips backwards-

"When did-"

"How did-"

"How long-"

"Why did-"

"Diane you-"

"Why?!"

Regina: -Huffs and looks up at her- <Not really? He can throw his swords and they can come back to him. When is he going to need that? I mean he has all of us.>

Jacob: -Resumes watching TV-

Lilycove

Diane: About five minutes ago, through the window, looking at the time it's been exactly five minutes and thirty-four seconds, I was bored, yes me, it seemed fun.

-She hops down, landing perfectly on her feet, looking over at Regina-

Diane: Who says he needs to? Doesn't mean he can't. Besides, have you seen his Dynamic Entries? If he can do that as gracefully as he does, a little learned swordplay should be nothing.

Lilycove Pokémon Center

Jacob: "Ah! Makes sense."

"... Though how did you manage to get the pole in here?"

Regina: -Sweat Drop- <Ummm.... Yeah I don't think that supports that argument too well...>

Fortree - past

-Fletcha blinks, not so much at how disgusting the description was, but more of what caused it-

Fletcha: "Huh, sounds like you've had some pretty interesting adventures."

"...Anyways, uhh, my name is Fletcha, nice to meet you." -he smiles-

Lilycove

Diane: Hey, they say practice makes perfect for a reason. Speaking of which, that battle really needs to be finished.

-Hey, whoa, no! Bad! No breaking the fourth wall!-

Diane: Whaaaatever.

-Ugh, fine. Back to narrator mode.-

-Ahem.-

-She raises an eyebrow at Jacob-

Diane: You mean you didn't notice it when you rented the room out?

Fortree Gym — Past

-Are you happy now, Diane?-

Diane: Yep!

-Grr.-

Diane: Rawr~

-Aaaaaaaaaaanyway, the Togekiss is paralyzed.-

-Bzzzap.-

-Yeah.-

-It flails and falls down, unable to attack.-

Jacob: "She has a point."

Regina: <You can't be a magical swordsman!>

Jacob: "You said I could be anything!"

Regina: <Jacob!>

Jacob: "But yeah we really should finish that."

Regina: <No reason to accidentally destroy the world with narrative contradictions.>

Fortree Gym - Past

-Back here!-

Jacob: -Narrows his eyes-

Okay. I can win this, this time. I just need to stick to the plan and hope I get lucky. Maybe I won't even need to use it.

"Calm Mind, Thunderbolt!"

Regina: -Quietly hums to herself as she centers her focus and energy and hammers the Togekiss with lightning-

Fortree - Past

Jacob: "Interesting is a good word. Very non-indicative but sufficient. Anyways! Fletcha? Jacob. Pleasure to meet you." -Nods-

Fortree - past

Fletcha: "Likewise to you too Jacob." -smiles and nods as well-

"Sooooo...um, are you at trainer too?"

Fortree, Duniree's Temporary Secret Base

Dune: Alright, Dezi - got everything loaded up?

Deziree: All my stuff's taken care of.

Dune: Awesome. Alright, let's close up shop.

Fortree, Some Time Later

-Dune and Deziree are just about to head east out of town, only stopped by the fact that Deziree is on the phone.-

Deziree: Yes, level five precautions. No less... No, we don't know how, that's why we were called...

-Dune is busying himself with a rousing game of I Spy.-

Rill: <Somethiiiiiing... Gr->

Dune: A tree.

Rill: ... <Something bro->

Dune: A tree trunk.

Rill: ... <This game is a lot less fun in a forest.>

Lilycove Center

Diane: Eskay can be a magical swordsman, so why can't Jake?

Fortree Gym — Past

-More bzzzap.-

Togekiss: <Owowowowow~>

-It shakes off the paralysis, and spits a Shadow Ball at Regina-

Lilycove

(A white-haired bishie dressed primarily in pink has somehow managed to haul a baby grand piano out into the streets. He's currently fooling around with the keys to check whether it's in tune.)

Lilycove Beach

(Meanwhile, Belinda is quite possibly here.)

Lilycove, because why not.

-Jason has made his way here.-

Jason:Oh, huh. There's a department store here!

Grim:<No, Jay.>

Jason:Why not? We have money to burn!

Grim:<We'll leave with none!>

Jason:Caaaalm yerself, birdbrain.

Lilycove

-are we all in Lilycove now?~-

Joseph: Ooooh, fancy that! A piano on the street! Was it discarded or something?

Lilycove

(Jason may notice his girlfriend down at the beach, waving frantically to try and grab his attention.)

(Alternatively, he may hear a piano starting to play melodies at roughly the same distance in the opposite direction.)

Lilycove

-Grim drags Jason away from the store...and girlfriend!-

Jason:=D

-Runs over!-

Hey Bel~!

Lilycove

(The pianist stops playing upon noticing Joseph, having determined that his piano is in tune anyway.)

Richey: Heya, Joe! Just so you know, this here is my baby grand~

Lilycove Beach

Belinda: Hey, Jason! What's up? :D

Lilycove

-Joseph blinks-

Joseph: Then why is it out here?

Lilycove Beach

-Huuuug~-

Jason:Ah, not much. You?

Lilycove

Richey: So I can host an open air concert, duh! You can be my audience!

Lilycove Beach

Belinda (gestures to the entire surrounding area) Beaches are up. I love beaches. :3

Regina: <Because he's not magical!>

Regina: -Is hit, and loses about a fifth of her HP-

Jacob: "And again!!"

Regina: -Nods, and again calms and centers her energy before unleashing that energy as lightning to fry the bird thing-

Jacob: -Nods- "Professional battler. Fought in tournaments for five years, now I'm trying to become the champion of the region."
