ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Somewhere

-A bird of ambiguous species lands on Daydre's head and chirps-

Springs

Kieran: Well, uh...

Sarah: We're... sorta... both Eskay?

Kieran: Mew split us apart and now we're twins instead of one person. I'm going by Kieran now.

Vierr: ...I'm...

-He only now just realizes exactly how little he's wearing. Specifically, that he's wearing nothing.-

Vierr: ...

-All of a sudden, he's very, very red. He sinks into the water in an effort to conceal himself.-

-Diane, Alyssa, and Skye have conveniently moved to a different part of the spring.

Somewhere

Daydre blinks.

"Who're you?"

Hot Springs

Jessica:You don't play fair though.

-She gives Bel a peck on the nose-

Because yer too cute to say no to. >=3

Hot Springs

Straw barely reacts to the new knowledge

"The fact that Eskay being now Sarah and Kieran would confuse the average person. But to me that sounds perfectly normal, especially with Mew involved. Either way, I suppose that's worked out pretty well for you two, global crises notwithstanding?"

Elise sweatdrops.

"...You didn't know that? Well, at least naked you fits in here. Things would probably have ended badly if you ended up anywhere else."

Somewhere

Ambiguous Bird: <Unimportant! I am just here to deliver messages from...>

-It waves its wings around mystically-

Ambiguous Bird: <Beyooooooond.>

-It folds its wings back up-

Ambiguous Bird: <Basically, Red can't reach her phone because she's already in the spring, but you're free to go anyway. Can't miss the group, they're all in Lavaridge and you're bound to recognize someone.>

Springs

Sarah: So far, yeah. It was actually a major relief, considering the gender identity struggles that led up to it.

Kieran: Kinda weird the first few days, though.

Vierr: Hey, last I remember, I was asleep, then suddenly I was here coughing up water. Everything in between is blank.

-He slumps-

Vierr: ...But... yeah. Here's a good place. And I get to see you again, for the first time in friggin' forever.

Hot Springs

"I can imagine. Being split like that is kind of a sudden transition."

Elise laughs nervously.

"Yeah...sorry about that. Things happen. But hey, I'm here now...although admittedly I pictured things differently when we met up again. Mostly that we'd be...y'know, wearing clothes. But again, hot spring."

She looks over at Straw and the Amarin twins in her peripheral vision.

"...It's a good thing Straw's not completely naked. Otherwise things would be a lot more awkward for me right now."

Near Crowley

Fuuma: Ah, alright...

Seishirou: -snerks- Damn right.

Spring

Blue: Oh, uh, uh, this is Red. Red Duane. She's an old friend from Orre.

Red: Nice ta meetcha, cowboy. Heh heh heh.

Spring

"I see your friend is in high spirits. Would you be up for a challenge?"

Somewhere

"Huh... Thanks, I guess? Though something in the back of my mind tells me I shouldn't trust random strange mons..."

She shrugs, and sends out The Punisher.

A few minutes later, Lavaridge

Daydre changes and heads into the springs.

Springs

Sarah: Yeah.

Kieran: We're not accidentally speaking in unison anymore, at least.

Sarah: Yeah, that was creepy as hell.

-Sarah waves to Daydre as she shows up-

Sarah: Hey, Day!

Vierr: Yeah. At least it's not the worst way of meeting each other again. At least you're the only one who's, erm, noticed.

-He glances over at Diane-

Vierr: ...Except probably her.

Spring

Red takes a swig from the flask and then points dramatically at Des.

Red: YESH!

Blue: Uh, wait. What kind. Because I'm pretty sure battling Pokemon under the influence is illegal.

Springs

"Well I was talkin about a drinkin challenge, but it seems I already have an advantage on you. Guess you're not as good at holdin you liquor as I thought you were."

He gives her a smug smirk.

Hot Spring

-Daydre might recognize Tori from one of the odd shared dreams going around the J-team. She's still sitting next to the very shy Savahna-

-Either way, Jacob would get a bump as Tori turns to look at one of the various shinanigans going on and failed to notice him-

Hotsprings

"Hi Sarah... Person who looks exactly like Sarah..?"

"Oh wait, he must be her brother... Agh..."

Daydre does.

Huh... I think I've seen her before...

Spring

Red: Heh heh. HA! Oh you are on boyo.

Blue: -facepalming- This is a very bad idea, man. Like, terrible.

Springs

Des arises from the spring, thankfully wearing a speedo. He sits down at a table with some shot glasses and a gourd of sake.

"Since you have a headstart, for the first 10 rounds I will drink two."

Hot Springs

Straw waves to Daydre, though he only vaguely remembers meeting her.

"To be fair, it is a hot spring. There's bound to be more than a couple people wearing nothing. So we're pretty much normal for around here."

A voice calls out to Elise.

"Well if it isn't Elise. Fancy meeting you here."

A certain pale blonde girl comes over, a towel wrapped around her. Elise waves to her awkwardly.

"...Hi Claire. Didn't know you were here."

Claire puts the towel aside and gets into the hot spring near the two, wearing swimwear and her sunglasses...at night. She turns to Vierr.

"So, who's this?"

Hotsprings

Jacob: "..."

-Sighs and rolls his shoulders again as he thinks a little more-

...I have no idea what I'm doing here.

-He's bumped into and jolts to awareness- "Hello there."

Springs

Kieran: Kieran. Sarah's twin brother. Long story. I, uh... guess you met her while I was off losing my sanity?

Sarah: Yeah. This is Daydre.

-Vierr raises an eyebrow at Claire-

Vierr: Name's Vierr. I'm Elise's boyfriend. Who are you?

Spring

Red rises and then sits, a towel wrapped around her.

Blue looks on with trepidation.

Elsewhere in the spring, a certain white-flamed Infernape is enjoying himself.

Augus: Grahahaha! This is the life.

He takes a sip of sake then puts his cup back down on the floating shelf next to him.

Spring

Tori: "Oh, sorry-"

-She scoots back a little, and pauses-

"...Hey, weren't you the guy that hosted the Christmas party with all the ghosts last year?"

Spring

Pours her a shot and himself two.

"My name is Des. It is a pleasure to meet you Red."

He holds up his two shots.

Hotspring

Jacob: -Eyes still skyward- "Yep. Tori, right? Lane's friend? Didn't talk to you much. Pleasure to meet you."

Spring

Red: Same to you, cowboy. I must warn you, I have been found to have an irrational tolerance for alcohol. Like, with actual science.

She raises her glass.

Red: Let's go.
