ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Neo-Illusion HQ

-Alys is sorting through papers on her desk when she freezes-

Alys: ...odd. A sensation of impending doom.

-she shrugs and goes back to work-

-The Larvitar pauses for a bit, unsure what to say in response to Ferris, then looks at Helian-

Larvitar: <Can I go now?>

Mt. Coronet - Past

Sergey: "Of course... I... ugh... *Gulp* I'll come with you... I can't let you walk through here with that injured leg."

He gulped

Sergey: "Please... don't do anything rash..."

Sorry again, I hope the internet is better now :)

Helian: -Blinks, as if not remembering something- <... Whoa when did you get there? Who are you? Why are you talking to meeee??!?>

Ferris: -Scoots back a little further-

Solaceon Ruins

Inside the caves, a girl and her Clefable are sat in front of a collection of plans and blueprints, though the girl appears to be more preoccupied with doodling a picture of Shingeko. She is wearing a Swoobat costume made up of a blue dress, black shoulder-length gloves, a bluish-white wig with fake ears poking out of it, and a heart-shaped pink mask. A radio next to her is playing, and she is singing along gleefully.

Batastrophe: There's something about you driving me mad
There's something about you I've got to have
There's something about you
There's something about yooooooou~

A second costumed figure comes up behind her, wearing Heliolisk-themed attire consisting of a baggy yellow jumpsuit with black and orange highlights, an orange ruff collar, and a face-concealing black helmet.

Helion: Okay, I can understand running off to Sinnoh to chase your celeb crush. It's putting on our old costumes and squatting in a dark, creepy cave that I don't get.

Batastrophe turns to face her companion.

Batastrophe: It's 'cause I'm boooooored. We haven't done anything in months. Things were way more exciting when Earthwyrm was still around.

Helion: It's not my fault that he went and got himself grounded.

A mansion, somewhere in Kalos

Well-dressed Woman: Benedict, be a good boy and eat your greens.

Earthwyrm: My name's not Benedict! I am EARTHWYRM, SCOURGE OF THE SURFACE-DWELLERS!

Well-dressed Man: You'll be scourge of the kitchen floor in a moment if you don't do as your mother says.

Solaceon Ruins

Helion: Now we have no boss, and more importantly, nobody to bankroll the kind of crazy schemes he used to come up with.

Batastrophe: Then we steal stuff! We're supervillains! It'd be weird if we didn't steal stuff. I even have a heist in mind~

Helion: So that's what this is about. Call me crazy, but I think we have more important things to worry about right now. To start with, we still haven't sorted out your little weremon problem.

Batastrophe: I'm kinda getting used to it, actually. Sure, it was weird at first, but being a Greninja by night has some cool perks. For example, I can lick my elbows now~

Helion: ...Please don't demonstrate.

Batastrophe: Spoilsport. C'mon, at least take a look at what I've got planned. Pretty please?

She makes puppy-dog eyes at Helion.

Helion: Fine.

She looks over Batastrophe's shoulder at her plans.

Helion: ...Tell me you're not serious.

Batastrophe: I'm always serious~ Where else are we going to find so many rich idiots all in one place?

Helion: Those rich idiots are all going to have Pokemon on hand.

Batastrophe: That's a problem for you to sort out, then. You're the one with the big brain beneath that silly helmet of yours~

She playfully bops Helion on the side of the head.

Batastrophe: So, you ready to get back into the supervillain business?

Helion: ...I suppose so. It's not like it's a competetive field, after all.

Batastrophe: Yay~! We're officially back in business! Batastrophe and Helion, partners in crime! Lemme just finish my Shingeko shipfic and then we can get to work on evil schemes~

She runs off, leaving Helion alone with her Heliolisk, who shakes his head.

Heliolisk: <One day you're going to have to learn how to say no to that girl.>

Helion: Don't you start.

-The Larvitar blinks and decides to just go elsewhere, possibly near Etran and Eggshell-

Cycling Road

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" -A Jacob rapidly descends the road, passing by Tagg- "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...."

-Watches Jacob go by-

You've gotta be kidding me here.

Cycling Road

KAHTHUNK

-Jacob is now buried in the ground at the feet of the cycling road- "Ooow...."

-There's a dull flash of light as Regina appears, waving, embarrassed to Tagg, hauling Jacob up and dragging him off, storing the metallic uniboard away, along with the magnaboots-

Hearthome

Etran: Alright, Eggshell, Dark Pulse!

-Eggshell fires a dark pulse, and may accidentally hit a larvitar walking by.-

-The Larvitar is struck by the Dark Pulse-

Larvitar: <Agh!>

-He turns angrily to Eggshell-

Larvitar: <Hey! What was that for?>

Hearthome

-Etran sees what his Eggshell had hit-

Etran: S-sorry, little guy. We were training moves. Are you okay?

Eggshell:-Angrily to the larvitar-< Why'd you get in the way of my attack! That's the real question!?>

-The Larvitar gives a slight nod-

Larvitar: <...Yeah, I'm fine.>

-to Eggshell- <Maybe you should work on your aim.>

Hearthome

-Etran checks his Pokedex for information on Larvitars-

Etran: This says Larvitar aren't native to the area. Did you get seperated from your trainer?

Eggshell:<Considering Etran is finally letting me face a gym leader, I'd say my aim is fine!>

Larvitar: <If you say so...>

-to Etran- <Eh, you could say that.>

Hearthome

-Etran cannot understand the Larvitar-

Etran: Um, can you nod or something?

-The Larvitar gives a so-so gesture-

[REDACTED]

I never thought I'd ever have to build another one of these machines again. Cipher worked me so hard on the last one that I thought myself put off the whole affair.

I suppose that must have been naivete on my part. Odd. I had thought myself beyond that.

I suppose not.

And now, here I am, hiding in the mountains of Sinnoh. Hardly the worst place I've been - Orre's climate was horrendous on anything rubber, and the smell of the ozone from the air purifiers to keep the dust out still hasn't gotten out of my clothes. The cold, at least, allows for one to forgo the use of rubber.

But all of that and more would be better than having to deal with this... thing... again.

The first time I had ever built a Shadow Manipulator, I was forced to use cheap, salvaged parts from Cipher's old Shadow Factory.

Huh... Not sure whether to feel pride or pity that it was just as useful if not more than their old mass-produced models built in half the time.

Call me Tony Stark, I suppose. Certainly surprised the kidnappers who snagged me from Canalave.

Heh. Snagged.

Still haven't figured out how the machine... made... Bison, though.

He always was one to push himself. Probably wanted to prove one of those kidnappers wrong when they said that he wouldn't be a threat.

No telling, I suppose.

After that, the job application literally wrote itself. Too bad I got stuck with bigger over-ambitious disasters of criminals than I dealt with in Galactic.

No doubt they were relieved that one of my stipulations was not having my full team on my at any time if I didn't want to be stabbed in my bed.

Jackasses.

... Huh. The Machine's almost done. I suppose the testing phase is ready to be scheduled.

=Mt. Coronet, Past=

Zachary: "...Thanks, I know it was selfish of me to do something stupidly rash like that since I could've put you and your friend in danger, but I felt like it was the only option, but if you're really uncomfortable with the thought of going back, just give me some directions, it's alright really..."

Zachary, with the help of Aurum, manages to climb up the stairs

Zachary: "Oof, that took some effort''

Aurum: ~You have no right to say that when I carried you most of the way through~

Zachary: "Hey, I helped with my one good leg! Anyways, Sergey, what's the way to Eterna?"

-Tex offers a shoulder-

Tex: "We'll get you upstairs, then I'll break out the first aid kit."

oops, looks like I got Ninja'd

Hearthome

Etran: Alright then? Do you need help finding your trainer?

Eggshell: <If you want, I can hit him every time he doesn't understand.>

-The Larvitar shakes his head-

Larvitar: <I can find him fine if need be.>

Mt. Coronet - Past

Sergey still was hesitating, torn between his fear of Darkness and wish to help - in the end, he resigned

Sergey: "Look... I'll give you the directions after we're done fixing up your leg... but I'd really like to see you get to a Pokécenter, I'll probably take the way above ground to get back, I'm not the best climber... but at least I'm not afraid of heights, so that's a plus."

He sighed

Sergey: "Its up to you... tell me honestly, do you think you'll be able to make it trough the cave without help?"

Duniree's Room

Outside the MTT Resort, way long ago

-Iggy is still awestruck, but may be noticed by a certain someone-

Hearthome

Etran: Oh, okay. If you need any help, I'll be here.

Eggshell:<There he goes again, offering help to strange Pokemon. "I'll help you find your trainer, Larvitar," I'll help you find your pearl, Spoink," " Oh, you want to become stronger? Come with me, baby Vullaby." Who would fall for that?>
