ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Teresa smiles and fades into the mist. "Bye~ ^_^"

Thorne Daycare, Monday

Aiki: "Uh, well, good it wasn't too much trouble."

Route 121

- A certain blonde ex-member of Team Magma is exiting the Safari Zone, a Minun sitting on her shoulder -

Sierra: The Safari Zone has changed a bit since we were last here, hasn't it, Minun?

Minun: (nods) <Well, it's certainly a lot less difficult to actually catch something in there.>

Sierra: (smiles and looks around) It's nice to be back in Hoenn, isn't it?

Minun: (nods) <Yeah, it's good to be back in my home region. It has changed in some ways, but it's mostly the same, as far as I can tell.>

Sierra: (giggles) Well, isn't it the same for us?

Minun: (smiles) <That's true. You've really grown as a trainer. Even Vaporeon has grown to treat you with more respect as his trainer.> (rolls eyes) <Now if only he'd stop messing with the rest of us...>

Sierra: (smiles) I'll try to get him to behave. (looks around) Now, I guess we should try to find Vyvyan? Wonder where he is...

Thorne Daycare-TS

Derik: "Well, since our informal orientation is on hold anyway, any questions?"

Thorne Daycare, Monday

Aiki: "Well, er, what's a basic day around here supposed to be like?
What should I be doing and how to I adjust that if something bad happens?
And you mentioned exercise time being soon?"

Sootopolis

-Jack is still on his face when hit with the Wing Attack-

Jack: <Well, it's a good thing I know that move.>

-his body glows and he recovers half of his health-

Sootopolis - past

Fletcha: <Alright, if I happen to notice anything I'll let you know.>

<...Uhh and do you mind telling me what this 'Sird' person looks like if you've seen him or her, so I know who to keep an eye out for?>

Sootopolis

Duke is sitting on a bench, drinking some water.

An al-Gala Hotel

(From somewhere to the west of this particular hotel comes a loud, sharp, and most importantly, horribly familiar noise:)

*KRAK-shreeeee*

Sootopolis, Duniree's Room

Deziree: One, ringy-ingy... two, ringy-ingy... three, ring- Oh, there you are, Edna!

Edna: <Hm yes what is it, darling? This is a private line, yes?>

Deziree: Well, yes.

Edna: <Oh, good. Do you need your shirts and bras refitted again, or are you calling about the tear in that dress you wore last Christmas? Because if so, don't worry, it's already patched and improved.>

-Deziree blinks and blushes slightly.-

Deziree: N-no, it's nothing about that. It's just that... well, you're the only female member on the team, so...

Edna: <Oooooooooh, girl talk. Don't worry, darling, I've got some free time. Had lots of free time since I evolved. Still need to evolve again, though.>

Deziree: Don't worry, I'll get on that as soon as I can.

Edna: <But enough about me, what's troubling you, darling?>

-Deziree leans back in her chair.-

Deziree: Well, you see...

-Deziree checks to make sure Dune didn't sneak back into the room. Thoroughly.-

Deziree: I just... well... you know the saying that "you can hear your biological clock ticking"?

-A gasp, partly of realization and partly of scandal, comes through the phone.-

Edna: <You don't mean...?>

-Deziree sighs.-

Deziree: Yeah. Yeah, I mean.

Edna: <Have you talked this over with Dune?>

Deziree: No, no... not yet... I mean, I've been human for, what, two year, going on three? It just seems... I dunno, a little rushed.

Edna: <Oh, trust me darling, those hormones of your don't care how old you think you are, only how old they think you are.>

Deziree: But... wait... don't you-

Edna: <Nope. Never been interested. Maybe, if I find somebody who can match my particular kind of genius, maybe, but ah, maybe I am one of a kind.>

Deziree: ... Oh. That... doesn't really help me, though.

Edna: <Darling, the two of you should talk it over. You really should. You've been together for, like you side, two years, going on three. Maybe it's time you two sat down and decided on a few important long-term details.>

Deziree: I... I suppose...

-A slightly-electronic guffaw comes through the speaker.-

Edna: <The great director! Fearless in science, yet as ginger as a technician nursing a burn when it comes to love!

Deziree: Edna...

Edna: <I kid, darling, I kid! Mostly. Seriously though, talk it out. Or you could break convention entirely and take the first step~>

Deziree: ... Wait, what are you impl-

Edna: <Ah, coffee is done! Tee tee eff en, darling!>

-*Cli-thunk!*-

-Deziree looks at her phone, somewhat confused.-

Thorne Daycare-TS

Derik: "It can change a bit, but typically we feed the client's pokemon around the morning, afternoon and evening and let them into the yard for as much exercise as they feel like. If things are kind of crowded or start getting rough we have to let them out in shifts, and the more nocturnal Mon get some extra time in the evenings. But you get the hang of it pretty quick.

Sootopolis- TS

Shinobi: <Sird is a purple haired woman in a Team Galactic uniform last I saw. Though I doubt she wears is all day long.. >
