ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Flashback

Cragspur-Illusio Border

Dear Arceus, was Celzvet ever the dense one when it came to these things. This is after about 2 months of minor border skirmishes, in which I routinely sent him OFF OF MY LAWN.

Today, however, my proud warriors were tired of Celzvet's shit. Hanshiro with his Kadabra, scouted ahead, while Honami and Minako waited behind with their Solrock and Lunatone. Seishiro and Toshimichi charged in, Medicham and Bronzong in tow.

Ever Grande

Edge: <OH! Nice to meet you.>

Jacob: "Anyways?"

Cragspur-Illusio Border

Who are you calling dense!? I had... sighhh... Anyways.

So, my guys saw her guys charging, and did the logical thing.

Kengji: -Flails- "WE'RE UNDER ATTAAAACK-"

-And is promptly smacked by Benkei- "... Right. Okay! For Cragspur!" -He rose his kanabō and charges Toshimichi, his Steelix lashing out and burrowing underground-

-Benkei meanwhile, readied his naginata, and thrust out at Seishiro, his Golem causing a minor tremor, the shockwaves directed at the group-

Kryeiah: "I've got the rear!" -Hoists her warhammer off her back, as her Tyranitar starts scanning the area-

-Tohru readied his yari as his Golbat flew up to see if it could spot anyone else-

-Dave drew his katana and hopped on his Lairon to scout out ahead of Kryieah-

So this is how this all st-

Jacob: "Wait wait wait, you had a soldier named Dave?"

WHAT YOU NAMEIST AGAINST DAVES OR SOMETHING SIT BACK DOWN AND LET US TELL THE DAMN STORY

Sootopolis

Selene: <Yaaaaay! Come on up here, then!>

-Selene picks up Maria with Telekinesis and pulls her in through the window.-

Selene: <I'm getting good at that!>

Powell: <Well, then, c'mon - you'll get home and help defend it at the same time.>

Dave does sound like an odd name for a Ranseian...

Sootopolis

STAALKER:<Understood!>

-Saaaaaalute!-

Maria:Wheeeeeee~

-Maria is pulled up-

-And the Whale phases himself into the room, unceremoniously-

Ren: Well if another human other than me is going on this trip, I guess there's only one thing to do...

-Ren digs on his bags and Pulls out a Tablet and a mostly empty box of rather futuristic microphone/ earpiece headsets◊ in a variety of colors.-

-Ren holds the box out to Maria.-

Ren: We're going deep into Holon. Most technology - including Poke Balls - will not work there due to the magnetic storms in the region. However some tech was specifically made to function there - Like my tablet and these transceivers. Pick the one you want that way you can remain in contact with me even without a psychic-type.

-Erik Teleports STAALKER back outside the window-

Erik: <It's already crowded enough in here without you!>

Sootopolis Center

Selene: <Alriiiiiight! I'll go pick up Pent later, when I can find him!>

Satele: <Which means I'll probably be the one to do it.>

Vega: <Time to go?>

Lumen: <By the SUN there are a lot of people in here!>

Sootopolis

Maria:Thanks! ^-^

-The whale is ported out-

STAALKER: >:|

Flashback

Illusio-Cragspur Border

Focus, as always, was key.

-Toshimichi, riding on Bronzong, avoids the tremor and lashes back at Benkei with Flash Cannon, anchoring the pair by lodging his staff into the ground.-

The element of surprise was very important, so while the main group was distracting the warriors on the battlefield, my reserves were keeping the scouting parties from seeing them.

-Hanshiro, noticing the Golbat, nods to his Kadabra to bring it down with Confusion.-

Luckily, as the ones initiating the skirmish, we had the type advantage. And since they were on MY LAWN, we knew the terrain better too.

-Seishiro and Medicham used the floating stones to propel themselves around the Tyranitar and onto the Lairon.-

Seshiro: "Oh no, you don't."

-The shot of an Arquebus, echoes. It hits the back of Dave's knee stopping him in his tracks, while the Medicham comes down hard on the Lairon with Hi Jump Kick-

Mega!Copperfield: <I'm with the pink one. Are we all here?>

Ren: -sighs as he stashes the transceivers back in his bag.- Right. Let's go.

-Ren shows Copperfield the map.-

Mega!Copperfield: <And now, for my next trick, I shall this entire group DISAPPEAR!>

~Hellebore, Henbane, Aconite, Glowworm fire, Firefly light!~

-Then, with a "BLIP", the group... And STAALKER - vanish...-

Holon, Near Rally Point Lima

Ren: Someone use Flash as the Pidg—

Mega!Copperfield: <Powell.>

Ren: Huh?

Mega!Copperfield: <The Pigey's name is Powell.>

Ren: -sighs- Someone please just signal her Highness....

Holon, Near Rally Point Lima

Selene: <I can do that~!>

-Selene uses Flash three times. There's a pause, and two flashes return.-

Powell: <Well, at least the Lamppost brothers are paying enough attention at least. Alright, they're expecting us!>

-Powell starts hopping that direction.-

-The mountains of Holon are a bit different compared to the rest of Holon. Mostly because all of the trees are coniferous rather than deciduous.-

-Also, any Pokeballs in use are probably breaking open right now.-

Holon

Maria:Wow...

-Suddenly, Argo, Gilda, Sapphire, and Quartz pop out of their brought Pokeballs-

Eep!

Argo:Baa?

Sapphire:<Odd.>

Gilda:<Huh?>

Quartz:<Hm.>

-Gamma, Conifer, Keys, Shantotto, Zanna, Noah, Wendi, Atlas, Carlotta, Vanamonde, Röntgen, Zorro, Bahamut, and Vincent all burst out of their Poke Balls.

-Röntgen visibly shudders when he sees the skies.-

Ren: Crap. Of course Röntgen is going to be upset about being here again.

-Out loud- Let's move out!

-Ren climbs on Röntgen's back-

Ren: I'm trusting your knowledge of the terrain Röntgen. Let's go.

Röntgen: <R-r-right.>

-Röntgen dashes off with Ren team close behind.-

Holon Mountains

-Powell hops up to two rather conspicuous looking lampposts.-

Inconspicuous Lamppost #1: <What's the password?>

Powell: <Chains of Prometheus.>

Inconspicuous Lamppost #2: <That's the password. Get goin'.>

Inconspicuous Lamppost #1: <Oi, I asked what the password was, I tell 'em to get goin'!>

Powell: <Oh, shut it you two, and get back to guarding!>

-The two lampposts go quiet again.-

Powell: <C'mon, let's get inside.>

Hildr: <Oh, yes, this is exactly how I remember things going last time.>

Holon, Point Lima

M Aria:Oh my.

STAALKER:<Well, aren't the two of you quirky!>

Ren: -to Rio and Pierre- Please tell me Her Highness has more competent soldiers than those two.

Pierre: <She does.>

Rio: <But those two are really probably the least bright of the bunch.>

Zorro: <Literally, or figuratively?>

-Ren's group looks at Zorro.-

Zorro: <They're Electric/ Steel Delta species! It was a legitimate question!>

Rally Point Lima, a.k.a. A Dank Cave^* And not in the good way

-Princess Devilotte is currently standing over a table, arguing with a pair of Bisharp. The acoustics of the cave make it so nobody can really make out what's going on, even if the body language may insinuate that the Princess is currently calling both of the commanding Bisharp idiots and the Bisharp are calling each other idiots, while Captain's eye rolling might suggest that everyone in this argument is currently an idiot.-

Illusio-Cragspur Border

You know what Tagg it might have been. You wanna take it up with his mother? Because I have no idea why.

Anyways.

I'd like to paint this in a more awesome light befitting my soldiers but yeah we were kinda fucked.

-The Golbat is struck and is grounded instantly-

That type advantage, their surprise elemental and quick moving, they brought us down really quick.

-The Lairon goes down and Dave crumples over grabbing his leg-

Kryieah: -As soon as the Medicham comes down on the Lairon, she takes a mighty swing at it with her hammer-

-Her Tyranitar rears back and bathes area around Seishiro in a swathe of flame-

-Benkei's Golem jumps in front of him and staggers back from the Flash Cannon, and responds with another Bulldoze, meanwhile, Benkei tries to jab at Toshimichi while he's atop the Bronzong-

-Meanwhile, the Steelix erupts from the earth behind the ensemble, trying to collapse Toshimichi into a tunnel and then firing a Flash Cannon at Seishiro-

See. Here's the issue. Dave just happened to be one of my close friends. And he was kinda bleeding out.

Ever Grande City

Jacob: "... Well that can't be good."

A Dank Cave, without boxes of scraps

STAALKER:<A meeting of idiots?>

Maria:Woah...

-She's actually really dumbstruck-

Ren: -sighs at the "meeting"- Rio, if you would?

-Rio nods and steps forward.-

Rio: <While I hate to interrupt what is obviously a strategic meeting of great importance, Your Royal Highness, Princess Devilotte de Deathsatan IX, and her trusted advisers, we have come to answer you're plea for help.>

-Ren and his team bow politely with Pierre and his Parents at the fore.-

Pierre: <Hello again Devilotte. Although I wish it was under better circumstances.>

Sootopolis Field

Geist can't avoid this, and get's hit, looking back to Max for instruction.

"Infestation!"

This make Geist's eyes go wide, then he smirks and throws open his arms, drops his jaw open...and a swarm of tiny, biting bugs fly out and surround Kitty.

Ever Grande Story Time

Rowan: <What are we doing here again?>

"Ooh, story time!"

<*sigh*>

They both listen in.

Sootopolis Field Past

Kitty breaks and jumps at Geist, a ball of shadow forming in front of her. She tries to jab it in, the Infestation hitting her and taking down a quarter of her health, but she doesn't seem to care.

Rally Point Lima

-Devilotte turns around, keeping a stern look on her face... until she sees Pierre.-

Devilotte: <Pierre~!> <3

-Devilotte flies over and hugs the male Gardevoir. The two Bisharp commanders stand dumbstruck while Captain rubs the back of his head.-

Hildr: <Hey, Devilotte!>

Devilotte: <And Hildr! It's so good you all made it! Okay, now, before I get any further - do your Clefable and Ralts friends there know Teleport?>

-Selene salutes while Satele rolls her eyes and generally acts anti-institutional.-

Hildr: <Yep!>

Devilotte: <Good - we have dire need of scouts in the plains, and nobody to send that way.>

Selene: <Yay! We're already being helpful!>

Satele: <Can't we get, I dunno, a map or something first?>

-Captain pulls the two aside for a quick briefing. Also, after a bit more goading, a map.-

Devilotte: <Now, where was I? Oh, right! Welcome to Rally Point Lima, one of the few places out of reach of Ravana the Usurper and his forces.>

Ralley Point Lima

-STAALKER salutes once again-

STAALKER:<M'Lady! Is there anything I can do to assist!>

Maria:-blinkblink-

-Pierre is hugged by Devilotte and returns it.-

Pierre: <Princess, are there any injured? My mother, Christine, is quite proficient in healing and support moves.>

Christine: -curtsies- <Hello, Your Highness.>

Erik: <I'll help with the scouting.>

-Erik may try to follow Captain to be briefed.-

Ren: -bowing his Head- Your Highness, you said the Upsurper was called "Ravana", correct? He wouldn't happen to be a four-armed Delta Scyther, would he?
