ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Ren: -idly cleaning his glasses- The scary part is that the father actually did better than the mother...

-to Flanagan- So how much did you make of this unsuspecting group?

Lex's Quarters

Lex: Well, since you're stuck here for a while. Consider thi, wanna play a video game? I mean I got that... well it's not so much _new_ for me, but that recently released for you Brigoo game?

-To the others-

Sucks to be you guys, this is why I don't gamble.

Mossdeep, near Tagg.

Salvador is busy both watching the battle within his Arbok's coils and taking down notes for possible funeral preparations.

Psyche giggles. ~To be fair, I knew the odds were slim, I just like to gamble. And I love to watch people who deserve it get the shit kicked out of them. o3o~

Lex's Room

Brie: ...Huh? It just came out. What do you mean?

Did you get a special deal wherever you're from?

Mossdeep

Fennekin: <So, tell me about yourself.>

Ever: Well, I used to lead a normal life. Then I put on a magic wristband that turned me into a Dunsparce. Now I can talk to Pokemon. And let me tell you, it isn't what it's cracked up to be.

Fennekin: <That's nice. Now that we're such good friends, do you mind feeding me?>

Ever: If I do, will you leave me alone?

Fennekin: <No, I'll just associate you with food and come back.>

Ever: Then no.

Fennekin: -bites Ever's leg-

Ever: Your teeth, while cute, are not actually that painful.

Fennekin: <It's the curse of my kind.>

Ever: Aren't you supposed to be psychic? Can't you just...you know, magic me into giving you food or whatever?

Fennekin: <I failed Compulsions 101 back in Fennekindergarten.>

Ever: Hmm. Shame.

Mossdeep

Flanagan: <I'd say... enough.>

-Meanwhile...-

Chris: Go, Blastoise and Ludicolo!

-The two new opponents take the field...-

Dune: Petal Dance.

-... For all of ten seconds.-

Anja: <LET'S DO THIS!>

*PETAL DANCE~*

-The Blastoise is sent straight into the sky. The Ludicolo, desperately fighting the beat with his own sick groove, barely holds on long enough to get an Aura Sphere to the beak, sending him stumbling.-

Dune: You know how this is going to end.

Chris: ...

-Chris recalls his Ludicolo. He looks around for his Blastoise as it crashes about a block into town.-

Unfortunate Merchant: MY CABBAGES!

-Chris steams and smolders, leveling a glare at his son, when someone taps him on the shoulder.-

???: Excuse me.

-He turns his head, only to be greeted by the nastiest left hook of his life.-

Deziree: That's my boyfriend you're harassing.

Psyche grins. ~I could not have been happier with that turn of events. o3o~

Ren: -after watch Dezi deck Chris- This part is a bit different though... *chuckles*

-to Psyche, with a joking tone- Even if you still lost two grand?

-To Psyche-

Can't argue with that.

-Suddenly Deziree-

And I definitely can't argue with this.

Psyche grins. ~I'd pay 20 grand to watch an asshole get decked, any day of the week. Especially if he's being a shitty father.~

Mossdeep

Salvador: -Jokingly to both Tagg and Psyche- It's a good thing you have a mortician slash funeral director on hand, non?

Lex's Quarters

Lex: Oh yeah, I bailed on you early before I can finish. But where I'm from, this game has been out for... some 20~+ years. It's quite retro.

Ren: Well, I'm going to go help in what way I can.

-Ren walks towards Dune, pulling out several large bills and hasitly jotting a not as he walks.-

Ren: Dune! Congrats on your win. I've got your money for our contract.

-Ren hands Dune the money and the note which reads, "Just play along and I really DO owe some money for that contract..."-

Psyche grins at Salvador. ~Oh yes, if Dezi hadn't gotten to him first, we mighta needed your services. o3o~

Mossdeep

Diane: WHOOOO! You go, girl!

Sarah: Totally worth it.

-A few Wingull try to steal popcorn from them-

Eskay: Hey!

-Eskay promptly shoos away with an Obscura-cloaked purple sword, waving it around threateningly but harmlessly.-

Eskay: Run back to your masters! Tell them we're not afraid of your kind!

-Sarah and Skye just sorta stare at Eskay blankly.-

Shade comes out from hiding behind Psyche.

"Remind me to never ever piss off Dune of the Dunedain. I don't wanna mess with the waifu."

Mossdeep

Dune: Oh, well thank you, Ren.

-Chris looks around, gobsmacked in a literally and metaphorical sense. He shoots a glance at Deziree, then Dune, then Ren, then Deziree again, then Dune, then oh god there's a Lucario in your face and he doesn't look happy.-

Champloo: ~You're gonna walk away, or I'm going to make blue mountain oysters tonight.~

-Chris stumbles backwards before powerwalking off with as much composure as he can muster.-

...

-After he's gone, Deziree runs to Dune and pulls him into a hug.-

Deziree: You idiot, why didn't you message me that your dad had shown up?

Dune: I knew I could handle him.

Deziree: That's not what I mean and you know it, you big dummy...

-Flanagan's stand has apparently disappeared with the Politoed's Drizzle. On the ground are pitifully small bags of money with names placed on them, except Lumen, whose back is quite large, and Psyche, who has a bag labeled "consolation prize" - a bag of artisan Kalosian chocolate.-

Psyche's eyes light up. ~I get to see an asshole decked AND I GET CHOCOLATE? HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY TO ME~!~ She scoops up the chocolates and starts floating away~

Lex's Quarters

Brie: ...20 years? How'd they even make it?

Mossdeep

Fennekin: <So aside from my next week's meals, what Pokemon do you have?>

Ever: Well, you've met Salamence. -sends her out-

Fennekin: <Hey, snack.>

Salamence: <Hi, pipsqueak.>

Ever: Her boyfriend, Spathi—

Spathi: <Ever, why are you being followed around by a Fennekin?>

Ever: I can only conclude that I was cursed as a child. Anyway, there's her best friend, Marmalade—

Marmalade: <Wait, what?>

Salamence: <Uh, yeah, that isn't true. Jab's my best friend.>

Ever: I'm making a point here!

Fennekin: <My ears are bigger than my head. And I'm psychic.>

Ever: -loudly- Pleth, who probably gets along with Salamence? I dunno, do you?

Salamence: <We have never spoken. And I also trapped her in our timeline.>

Ever: ...Well, make friends.

Pleth: <...What's up with you?>

Salamence: <....I dunno.>

Pleth: <What's going on?>

Salamence: <Fennekin wants to eat me.>

Pleth: <Did you tell them you're taken?>

Salamence: <...Ew.>

Ever: And finally, Must.

Must: -blinks at the Fennekin-

Fennekin: -blinks at Must-

Must: -low rumble-

Fennekin: <...I'll come back later.>

-flees-

-Twitches-

All that...chocolate...

Lex's Quarters

Lex: When I said "I'm not from here" I meant that, specifically, I'm not from this time period. Well, I'm also not from here - as in the Hoenn region - I'm currently just working here, I'm from Lumoise originally, but that distracts from the real meat on the bones. I think is the right saying?

Shade pokes Psyche.

"Wanna share?"

Shade immediately runs away.

Mossdeep

Percy: <Aww man, where's my money?>

Daydre looks mildly annoyed that she's not getting her money back.

Mossdeep

-A note is attached to Daydre and Percy's bags.-

Mossdeep

"What?! I wasn't even the one that bet!"

Percy: <Eh. Oh well. >
