ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Snowpoint Temple

-Has also shown up-

Site 022A

-Dune slaps Garuda across the face.-

Dune: Garuda, you with me?

-Garuda stares into the ceiling, his third eye shaking on its stalk.-

Dune: Don't worry buddy, you're going back in.

-Dune puts Garuda back in his Pokeball.-

Dune: If he couldn't handle it, then there's no way in hell Rill, Cun, or Hildr would be able to handle themselves... Ah!

-Dune takes out an Ultra Ball.-

Dune: But I do have at least ONE Dark-Type on hand.

-He opens the Pokeball, and a towering pillar of spikes emerges.-

Dune: Alright, Ajax. YOU are gonna be my helper today.

-The Tyranitar blinks.-

Ajax: <I... me?>

Dune: Well, yeah. There's something in here that's psychic enough to send Garuda into a coma. I need you then, to help me.

Ajax: <I- er- well, I mean, alright, but... It's kinda cramped in here.>

Dune: True, but I'm sure we can manage. Let's go.

-Dune heads down the hallway towards what appears to be a stairwell. Ajax follows, careful not to bump into anything or slip on the ice coating the floor.-

Outside Snowpoint Temple

-The two turn to face the group that has gathered-

Sarah: Hey, guys.

Brandon: I'm afraid we have some bad news that may end up making things far more difficult here than we previously anticipated.

Sarah: That being that there's no sign of the Hoenn golems anywhere. Regirock, Regice, and Registeel have all gone missing, and they're the ones closest tied to this particular Regigigas. I can't help but fear the worst.

-As if on cue, something deep within the temple rumbles-

Brandon: We have chosen not to attempt to contact the Delta golems in Holon, for fear of something bad happening to them as well. Things are dangerous enough as they are.

Temple

Tex arrived a short while ago.

Ren: -to Brandon, but looking at the ruins after the rumbling sound- We might want to keep the banter to a minimum by the sound of it...

Kitsune: <And I prefer not going into something totally blind.>

Snowpoint

-Jason blinks-

-Then shivers-

Jason:Ugh...another Regigigas...

Maggie: "Well, that doesn't sound good..."

Snowpoint Temple

(No J-Team members written by me bothered to show up here, as it turns out.)

(Someone who has turned up, though, is a deeply curious Wilhelm. He's bundled in enough thick white winter gear, including a face-concealing scarf and enormous fur hat that leave only his purple eyes visible, that he's impossible to recognise by face alone, but Sarah may still pick up faint traces of his clouded empathic signature.)

Snowpoint Temple

along with Sergey Alyesha also had shown up by now.

Snowpoint Temple

-Brandon nods-

Brandon: Unfortunately, there's not much more we can do to avoid going in blind. Whatever we end up having to fight, we'll have to fight the moment we see it.

Sarah: I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

-Sarah is too occupied by the impending battle to worry about or even notice Wilhelm.-

Ahhh, sorry this is so late. I missed that post.

-Savannah quickly slams her laptop shut in surprise, then stares blankly for a second before realizing who's speaking to her.-

Savannah: O-oh, no, I don't th-think so. Z-Zoe, right? I think?

-She tries to hide her embarrassed smile by drinking her lemonade.-

-Ren notices Wilhelm, but since he nor his team have met him before, Ren simply turns to Brandon.-

Ren: -to, Brandon, indicating Wilhelm and possible normal civillans- Might I recommend have you assists and junior trainers keep the area clear of the general public? We don't want people to get hurt during this um... Operation.

Snowpoint Temple

-Team Umbra shows up, along with the Jerkbros-

Umbra: OK, what's going on here again?

Snowpoint Temple

As it turns out, Lucius's stroll did take him past the temple, and upon seeing familiar faces he approaches in time to catch a snippet of the conversation.

Lucius: Wait, what's this about a fight?

Lissa: ...Whatever's going on, charging blindly into it sounds like a dumb idea to me. I don't even have a single Pokemon anymore.

Snowpoint City Restaurant

Zoe nods bashfully.

Zoe: Uh, y-yeah, that's m-me.

She looks at Savannah's laptop.

Zoe: Oh man, did I interrupt whatever it was you were doing? I'm so s-sorry, I didn't mean to... I'll g-go if I'm distracting you...

-Ren turns to Lissa-

Ren: Do you have a particular type you have an affinity with? I can lend a couple members of my team to protect and help you.

Snowpoint Temple

Brandon: Unfortunately, I was hoping to be in there in case something has happened to the golems.

Sarah: I can stay out here and help keep guard, though.

-She turns to Team Umbra, Lucius, and Lissa-

Sarah: To sum things up, there's been glitch activity that nobody has dared attempt to venture into the temple to try and investigate, considering there's been rumbling that could very easily have seismic origins. Considering this is also a temple to Regigigas, we have a feeling the glitches have specifically corrupted it, and it may have also struck the Hoenn golems as well. Whatever's happening down there, we need to make sure we're fully prepared for it.

Snowpoint

Jason:I'm ready as ever.

-Jason gives Ren a sideways glance then returns his attention to Sarah and Brandon-

-There's also a squee nearby-

-And then running-

-Right into a smol-

Iggy:Bweh! D:

-It's a Heidi-

Heidi:Oof!

Snowpoint Temple

(The heavily bundled figure indicated by Ren tilts his head, a look of confusion in his barely visible eyes.)

Wilhelm: Did you just ask me to serve as a bodyguard for your little group?

(He quickly falls silent again, taking frantic mental notes at the news of Glitches possibly corrupting the Legendary Golems.)

Smnowpoint Temple

Lina: ...Rouge Glitch Regigigas, got it.

Snowpoint Temple

Lissa blinks at Sarah.

Lissa: ...I got maybe a fifth of that.

Lucius: Yeah, I'd recommend you stay out here as well. Come to think of it, I dunno if me stumbling into an unknown and likely dangerous situation with only three Pokemon is a good idea. Not that it's ever stopped me before.

Lissa turns to Ren.

Lissa: As long as they're not Psychic-types, I don't care.

-Ren turns to Wilhelm.-

Ren: I'm sorry if you misundertood, but I meant you should leave. As it is apparent you came here out of curiosity, it's obvious you are not with the Pyramid King or the group I'm with. As such I highly recomend you give the temple a wide berth for today and possibly the next few days.

-To Lisa- I believe I can accommodate that request.

-Ren sends out Zanna, Mufasa, and Maxilar.-

Ren: You three stay with Lucius's friend and do as she says.

-The Dragonite, Pyroar, and Feraligatr nod and move to Lisa's side.-

==Sinnoh Skies==

Zachary and his team are riding Bunby and flying through the air while Bunby performs many stunts.

Zachary: <Alright Bunby, be careful! We're only going to Acuity Lakefront to check it out!>

Bunby: <Don't worry about it, Zach! I'm a pro!>

Ghiaccio: <P-Pro or not, you're rrrreeeeaaallly scaring some of us! Slow DOWN, PLEASE!>

Ghiaccio holds very tightly to Bunby while Zachary attempts to calm her down, Bunby laughs until suddenly a flock of Staravia and Starly fly by and hit Ghiaccio, causing her to suddenly react by launching a Water Pulse forwards, which due to the wind flies back and hits Bunby's face, temporarily confusing her.

Bunby: <A-ACK! Bwagh! Whyyyyy!?>

Zachary: "Okay, don't worry, Bunby, we're doing fine, we're doing fine, just calm dooown..."

Bunby's confusion causes everything to look foggy and disorienting to her, eventually causing her to fly off-course and head towards the ground at a great speed.

Zachary: "Oh my god, you gotta be kidding me, AURUM SAVE US!"

Bunby: <No, no! Don't worry, I got this, I just uhh...I, ehm...Ehhhg...J-Just uhh...make a turn here?>

Bunby takes a sudden turn that allows them to just briefly avoid crashing with the ground as they fly over it.

Ghiaccio: <Yaaaay! We're not dead! We're not—>

Ghiaccio is interrupted when Bunby crashes into some trees...

==Snowpoint City==

....at the entrance of Snowpoint City, Zachary and Ghiaccio get up and find that they luckily don't have many injuries.

Zachary: "Okay, first thing's first, Ghiaccio you need to learn to control your attacks better"

Ghiaccio: <Sorry! I was scared, okay!? I launch attacks subconsciously when I panic!>

Zachary: "Secondly, how are you Bunby, y'all right?"

Bunby: <Well, I could certainly be worse for wear, ehehe...>

Zachary gets out a Super Potion and sprays it on Bunby, removing the pain and helping with the injuries.

Zachary: "And that's why I always carry a Super Potion with me, now remind me to put Ghiaccio inside of a PokéBall whenever we go out for a flight"

Bunby: <Will do, for both your safety and mine>

Ghiaccio: <I ALREADY SAID I'M SORRY, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?!>

Zachary: "Now, this iiiis...Snowpoint City? Ooo, this is the home to the ancient Snowpoint Temple, we could check it out, I heard it's quite neat"

Bunby: <Meh, sounds good enough I guess, doubt we'll find anything interesting though>

Zachary and his team head towards the Snowpoint Temple...

==Snowpoint Temple==

...And come across the group of people there, some familiar, many unknown.

Zachary: "Huh, there are looot of people here, is there gonna be a tour or something?"

Snowpoint Temple

Wilhelm: (somewhat irritably) Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realise simple curiosity was a crime nowadays.

(He shifts his gaze slightly to look at Zachary, who should see a pair of blazing magenta eyes staring at him from within a morass of white furs.)

==Snowpoint Temple==

Zachary: "O-Oh! Uh, hi there! I was, uh, just about to ask, why are there so many people here? Is there going to be some sort of tour or something? O-Oh wait, I already just asked that out loud, whoops?"

Bunby: <Zach seriously needs to improve his social skills>

Ghiaccio: <Pssst, is that a Pokémon>

Bunby: <Ghiaccio, I am 100% sure that is not a Pokémon>

Ghiaccio: <But what if it's an Abomasnow with magenta eyes?>

Bunby facepalms with her wings as she sighs, while Ghiaccio continues to give Wilhelm curious looks.

Savannah: Oh, n-no, it's fine. I j-just didn't know who you were at first and panicked when I heard you...
