ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Keys: -waves a handkerchief in a "Fair thee well" gesture from the floor in front of Jacob.-

Hotel Room

"It's not that embarrassing, Jacob. I'm your girlfriend."

Eterna Pokemon Center

Jacob: -He pauses, considering this- "... Technically fiance. You know, considering all this, I'm surprised we haven't done anything like this before. Most relationships are a lot more physical. I'm apparently just insecure about romantic affection in gen-"

-And he pauses, realizing in the time he's taken to consider all this, getting distracted by the Klefki on the ground, he's let go of the door frame-

"GAHK"

-And he's hauled into the bathroom-

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

CU, Pagoda F3

Dune: Hopefully.

-He and Galvani look at each other. Galvani gives the magnet equivalent of a thumbs up.-

-Keys hops away humming Splish Splash.-

Harthoam Jim

Ever: So. Lights?

???, But It's Obviously That Same Indeterminate Person: Why would I do that?

Ever: ...Well, I don't know about you, but I don't really see in the dark.

Indeterminate Person: Sounds like a serious disadvantage, Ever.

Ever: You know my name?

Indeterminate Person: Is that your name?

-Ever faceghosts-

Ever: Okay, can we get to the battling?

Indeterminate Person: Very well! Banette, you're first!

-there's a clicking noise, and a loud thump. Ever turns his head towards it-

IP: Shadow Claw!

-the clicking noise continues, growing louder-

Ever: Okay...

Mismagius: -chuckles-

Ever: Huh?

-as the noise grows louder, a second noise can be heard behind it; the whirring of a blade through the air-

Ever: Oh boy.

-he sidesteps, but misjudges the angle of the knife, and it slices down his arm-

Ever: Augh!

-the "Banette" hits the other side of the Jim with a clunk, and topples over-

Ever: ...So. Abandoned any pretense of not trying to kill me?

IP: We of the Jim bear no responsibility for...anything. Ever.

Ever: There you go with my name again.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Bathroom

"So, you're not gonna take a bath while dressed, right?" she asked

Eterna Pokemon Center

-Jacob folds his arms and huffs defiantly-

"I just might. I'm not taking off my clothes."

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Bathroom

"Okay."

Hikari then proceeds to basically throw Jacob into the bath

Eterna Pokemon Center

-Jacob is thrown into the bath and sputters and splashes-

"GAH"

-He flails-

"Okay okay fine I mean I don't want the mud to stain..."

-And in a movement far too fast possible for a typically elaborately dressed man, his, now muddy AND soaked clothes plop on the ground-

"... Okay I'm bathing, do you mind leaving?"

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Hotel Room

Jacob might just notice that Hikari is at the beginning of undressing herself by taking off her coat

"... Hm?"

Eterna Pokemon Center

Jacob: "............"

-He just blushes and looks away- "You know what? I can't escape this. I'm just gonna go with it."

Pagoda F3

-As they all make their way to the recently opened room, Titania and her Pixies are waiting, they circle around a pedestal in the middle of the room, then zip up towards the ceiling, vanishing entirely from the current floor in a flash of light-

Verax: "Okay, so that's the time manipulation gem. Think it might close that gap next to the other closed door?"

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

CU, Pagoda F3

Dune: That's the logical conclusion. Unless it opens up a door to a whole new pathway the second we claim it.

Galvani: <Really, it could go either way.>

CU-Pagoda 3F

Ren: I'm not saying anything. I want to enjoy being wrong for bit longer.

Harthoam Jim

IP: Golurk, your turn. Use Dynamic Punch.

-there's a heavy noise, like a large object being wheeled into place-

Ever: ...Oh no.

-a short hiss-

-and then a boom. Ever dives aside as something whistles by him, shattering the remains of the Banette and crashing into the other wall-

IP: It does tend to have low accuracy...well, get ready for another.

Ever: You really are nuts.

IP: Yep!

Ever: Hey, Mismagius. I don't suppose you're willing to use Night Shade, are you?

Mismagius: <Nope.>

Ever: How about if I squeeze you?

Mismagius: <Wait, don't—>

Mismagius used Night Shade!

-there's a shriek of obscura, and an explosion from the far end of the room-

IP: Good job defeating Golurk! Now for my final Pokemon...

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Pagoda F3

Verax: "Well, let's try."

-He snatches up the gem and exits the room-

-As soon as its in his hand, a field a flowers and grass sprout out in about a two meter circle around him, lined with various swords and bladed weapons-

"... Well that's odd."

-As they continue down, they turn into the hallway directly next to the one the Reaper is presumably behind, with a large clearly forced gash in the ground, separating the hallway in half-

-As they near the gash, the time field passes over it, and it's replaced with perfectly solid ground-

"... Sweet! Now someone else go check what's on the other side, I wanna leave the bridge open in case there's something over there."

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Hotel Room

Hikari giggled "Come on, Jacob, it's not that bad"

Eterna Pokemon Center

-Jacob has his head down with his bangs hiding his eyes-

"... I know. I just... I've never done this before? I was always a private person. Even when I needed to bathe outdoors for whatever reason, I was always given privacy. So this... I just... It's... different."

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Hotel Room

After everything is done Hikari gets in the tub

"Don't worry Jacob, I'll make an effort to not give you any privacy." she joked

-Ren looks around the corner then pales.-

Ren: RUN!

-Ren makes a mad dash down the east hall.-

Eterna

Jacob: "... I love you so much, you know that right?"

"Well... you know... this... isn't so bad... now that I'm actually inside."

"... Okay well... time it do this?"

Achievement unlocked: Scrub-a-dub-dub

Someone's getting clean, whether they want it or not.

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

CU, Pagoda F3

-Dune and Galvani look at each other.-

Dune: ...

Galvani: <...>

Dune: ...

Galvani: <...>

Dune: ... FINE!

-Dune goes over to peak.-

Harthoam Jim

IP: Chandelure, finish this battle! Inferno!

-there's a splashing sound-

Ever: Ugh, my feet are all wet now...wait.

-he sniffs the air, and his eyes widen (uselessly)-

Ever: Mismagius, up!

Mismagius: <And why would I do that?>

Ever: Ugh, fine.

-and he leaps onto the Mismagius's back as the IP sets the floor on fire-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Eterna Gym, past

Glitch!Gardenia:' -Shudders from the blows as the main body sinks into the flower, an errant energy blast blowing a hole in the ceiling, before Gardenia and her team are unceremoniously spat out, unconscious-

Good work guys.

Darner: <Tagg, look!>

-Looks up to see the pollen and extra foliage get sucked into a large glitchy mass which flies up into the sky before dissapating, the sky returning to normal-

-Sighs-

So we've won this time, but the war is hardly over.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Eterna

Hajime: "Um... how about charades?"

Eterna Gym, past

-Maggie notices the pollen settling around the group-

Maggie: Good thing everyone's using wind-based attacks... Maybe it'll help keep the pollen away from us...

"Keep at it, everyone!"

Zeppelin: <Right!>

-He used another Gust-

Sack: <If you say so...>

-He uses another Air Slash-

Habakkuk: <I refuse to!>

-He uses another Blizzard-

-And then they notice the glitch fading-

Maggie: "Whew, guess that's that..."

Zeppelin: <Ha, Gardenia has successfully been saved!>

-And with that statement made, he begins to glow-

-He grows larger, his arms form into smaller strip-things and he grows two more as well-

-When the light fades, he is a Drifblim-

Drifblim!Zeppelin: <Haha! Evolution isn't bad either.>

Maggie: "...Wonder what was up with that glitchy mass the pollen went into, though..."

Habakkuk: <Probbaly very important.>

Sack: <Yeah, who cares, I'm just going to rest now...>

-He flutters back to the backpack and falls asleep-
