ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Stormchaser

Dune: I just got back from an alternate reality where the world was be threatened by televisions and Deziree and I had to pilot diesel driven mecha to save it while also finding out that something is going through dimensions and making people into mad scientists.

Jubilife, earlier

Scheherezade: Well, that took longer than anticipated, considering.

Dunyazade: Indeed. I would have expected having to go to four separate stores to find simple printer ink.

Scheherezade: Yeah. Hopefully the place isn't wrecked.

Dunyazade: -closes eyes- Shahryar says it's not.

Scheherezade: Well, that's good...

Jubilife, presently

-Scheherezade's apartment.-

Scheherezade: Well, that concludes adding pins and labels to the map.

-On the wall is a large map of Sinnoh, and a smaller map of the world. The map of Sinnoh has a number of things printed on it, stuck into the wall with pins. Most of them seem to indicate ruins, but a few also indicate things where strange events have happened.-

Dunyazade: Hm.

Shahryar: I see no pattern

Scheherezade: We were looking for a pattern?

Shahryar: Not really. But I have nothing else to do with my fantastical amount of brain power, so I did. No statistically significant patterns emerged.

Scheherezade: Well that's a relief, sort of.

Oreburgh

Sholto: "Uh, it's Sholto."

Jubilife, two nights prior

Ghostus: <Well, we haven't, thankfully.>

Sholto: <Some team members of mine did. They apparently were turned into Dunsparce.>

Lisa: <Which is why I hope we keep it that way.>

Oreburgh City:

Raeburn: ...Each day has more and more insanity added to it. Still, thanks Sholto. Maybe we can talk tomorrow, see ya. *Flees to the Pokémon Center*

Ismene: <Oh boy. He still needs to learn more things of the world. As Raeburn said, I'll leave in no time. Good night, Mr. Sholto> *Goes after Raeburn*

Ryuu: <Catch you later dude!> *Follows Ismene*

-Ged just makes a happy face and leaves to the Pokémon Center-

Near Fist-O-Mist

-Record Scratch as Nico adopts a shocked expression◊-

Nico: So you... Aren't all douchey and over-obsessed with taking back your title?

Approx. 4 Kilometers from Snowpoint City limits

-The metal walls let out a groan as the warmth of the sun is sapped by the January cold.-

Salvager: Brrrrr... maybe I should have waited until June before trying to salvage the old seed vault...

-The slavager stops as he notices something. The groaning wasn't going away.-

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

-In fact, it was getting louder.-

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

-It was so loud. Loud as ^{a glacier} The death that creeps upon you as you sleep.-

Salvager: W-what the blazes is that?!

-The hallway seems to lengthen and constrict. The shadows ^{grow long} They will drag you down to join them in their icy torment.-

-The salvager locks up before he finally forces his legs to move. He runs from the decommissioned vault, and doesn't look back.-

Near Dunesy

Joseph: Gosh! Sounds interesting~

Nice image choice :P

Oreburgh

Sholto: "Uh, see you, then."

-He heads off-

Glitz Pit, last night

Fist o' Mist: <Ha, you thought I was going to be like I was last time about it? Overly jerkish and obsessed with the title to the point I'd cheat to get it?>

-He points dramatically at Nico-

<No! This time I'll only be obsessed to a healthy degree and exactly as jerkish as I need to be!>

Stormchaser

Dune: Yeah... Deziree's been trying to deal with the thought of something making people like her since we got back. What'd we miss? It's really cold, I've had to turn the heat up in our quarters.

Jubilife - two nights ago

Jem: ._.

Fletcha: "Uhh, that's good for you guys at least, I guess..."

-beat-

"Is anyone helping them try to change back?"

I felt one of Lulu's wonderful Oh, Crap! faces would be appropriate for the situation. o3o

Nico: ...

~OK, no frigging clue how to respond to that.~

Grodus: ~May I remind you it was your idea to engage him antagonistically?~

Nico: Nggh... Hang on...

...And... what would that entail?

Stormchaser

Joseph: Weeeeeeell-

Wait, how long were you out?

Stormchaser

Dune: Heck, I dunno... a week and a half, two weeks ago?

:P

Jubilife, two days prior

Ghostus: <Well, oddly enough, apparently they're the ones who can easily get themselves out of their scenario.>

Lisa: <They're apparently not alone, at least.>

Glitz Pit, last night

Fist o' Mist: <Keep training to get it, don't give up, and give the crowd what they want to see:>

<The FIIIIIIIIST!>

Nico: ...

-Genuinely grins-

Hey, you HAVE learned something! That's awesome! In that case go get 'em!

-he extends his fist-

Though... Does giving 'em The Fist extend to brofists?

Glitz Pit, last night

Fist o' Mist: <Of course it does!>

-He puts out one of his fists-

Near Fist-O-Mist

-Nico gives Fist-O-Mist a brofist with both his fists...-

-Then concentrates and generates two crude fistlike Psychic constructs to brofist the other two-

Glitz Pit, last night

-The other fists do so as well-

Fist o' Mist: <Well, I've got a match soon, so I gotta go.>

<Get a seat if you want.>

-He starts to head off-

Glitz Pit

-Nico smiles as he goes-

Nico: Heh... Maybe you'll learn your lesson someday, Grodus.

Grodus: <Are you telling me my desire to sweep all aside and revive the Alakagross for the greater good is as petty as that thug's crude arrogance and lust for glory?>

Nico: Pretty much. Also, you know the rule.

-To a nearby group of mons-

Hey! Wanna see my sweet ride's bumper sticker? :D

Grodus: ...

>X<;

Hotland, way in the past because dammit I wanna finish mah plot

-Iggy, after hanging with Undyne, walks up and into the large building labeled Lab.-

-It's way dark inside, save for the glowing screen on a monitor that had...Iggy on it?-

Iggy:Wha...?

-She waves, Monitor!Iggy waved back-

._.

-She continues forward-

Hotland Lab

-A sliding door opens up and a short, squat, reptilian Pokémon wrapped in a lab coat waddles out. She spots Iggy and freezes in surprise. Her mind seems to lag for a moment.-

Alphys: ...

Alphys' Lab

-Iggy freezes as well-

Iggy:Uhm...

-She waves-

H-Hi there?

Alphys' Lab

-The Helioptile blinks.-

-Someone was talking.-

-To her.-

Alphys: <Oh.>

-Beat-

Alphys: <Arceus. I didn't expect you to be here so soon!>

-The little Pokemon, now identifiable as a Helioptile, starts fidgeting as sparks from her ears light up the room.-

Alphys: <I haven't showered, I'm barely dressed, my lab's a mess, and...>

-She calms down after a moment.-

Alphys: <Ummm...>

-Beat-

Alphys: <Hi!>

Alphy's Lab

Iggy:Is this yer house? It's real big.

-Beat-

Oh! I'm Ignia but'chu can call me Iggy!

-Beat-

...why am I on the screen?

-She and the monitor Iggy headtilt-

Alphys' Lab

-It quickly becomes obvious that Alphys is sweating. Who knew lizards could sweat?-

Alphys: <U-um, wuh-eeeeeell, you see, uh, I've kinda been... watching you. Since you left the ruins. With my cameras.>

-Alphys gives a massively sheepish grin.-

Alphys: <I have a lot of cameras. Starting with the exit to the Ruins. I mean, I was originally gonna try and stop you, but...>

-She gives a nervous chuckle.-

Alphys: <Y-y'know, watching someone on a screen kinda makes you root for them, right?>

-A spark arcs between her ears as she realizes something.-

Alphys: <I haven't even introduced myself! I'm Dr. Alphys, Asgore's royal scientist. And this is my lab. But you probably already knew that. That it's a lab. And you probably deduced that it was mine. And that I live here. And I'm rambling.
