ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Pianis is on the phone with his sibling yet again-

Forte: So a really big snowstorm just blew through and we had to help shovel the drive... Icicle liked that, but I don't think he gets how shoveling works.

Pianis: I'm not surprised.

Forte: What about you guys? Have you been out shoveling?

Pianis: Uh, no?

Forte: Wait, really?

Pianis: It's Snowpoint City, the City of Snow. No one ever shovels here because it snows year-round and if you're coming by vehicle it had better be by boat or snowmobile. It just feels pointless. I'm not even sure if we even have roads.

Yukikaze: <Makes the city look nice too.>

Pianis: Candice used to collect snow for making the big snowballs in her gym. I'm not sure if she still does that.

Forte: Uh, okay, whatever.

Pianis: Anyway, when are you gonna get done with that gym challenge?

Forte: Uh... eventually. Probably.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Jesus guys sorry I take so long to do this but I'm just so firmly convinced nobody cares about it

Escher House, Glitched Sunyshore

(With the possibilities in the living room exhausted and the stairs off-limits, Volkner heads for the only place not yet checked - the closed door to the kitchen.)

Tastes better on the way back down.

Escher House

-Joseph follows, as well as Munn-

Joseph: What are we even looking for?

Another green world.

Sunyshore Escher House

Daydre turns to Joe.

".. Uh.. I'm not sure actually. A way to get rid of the glitch fog?"

off the shits

Sunyshore, Glitch Fog, Escher House

Sergey followed Volkner, as did Mireille.

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

In my case, it's a mix of having been out of it when things started and unsure how to/if I should get into things

Sinnoh, somewhere

-Sholto, Maggie, Hajime, and others are around, doing nothing of consequence-

-Ashen follows, crossbow drawn and ready.-

-Siobhan and Zhi Shen Lung follow as well.-

-Balthazar, Dunyazade, Argent, and Archimedes hang back as a rear guard.-

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Fortis: Okay! Let's go!

-Minty slams straight into the kitchen door-

Minty: <Take that, fiend!>

Hearthome

-Mitch and co might be around Sholto-

Must Eat All Life Forms!

Hearthome

-A Honchkrow and Talonflame are talking amongst each other-

Talonflame: <I still can't believe you don't find this weather unbearable.>

Honchkrow: <I mean... it's a bit nippy, but I'm kinda fond of colder weather in general.>

<Besides, shouldn't you be fine? You generate your own heat anyway.>

Talonflame: <That doesn't mean it's not still cold...>

<You certain you can't only take this weather because of my warmth?>

-The Honchkrow snickers a bit, then notices Mitch and co-

Honchkrow: <Oh, hey, random peoplemons.>

-He waves a wing in greeting-

<Hi, random peoplemons!>

Talonflame: <...Must you?>

Escher House, Glitched Sunyshore

(Minty's hit is enough to bust a hole in the door, but not knock it down or let him through. This is fortunate, for if he'd successfully burst through he would have been impaled by what looks to be a floating wall of every dangerous implement in the entire house - steak knives, forks, heated curling tongs, a spinning blender...)

Volkner: ...well.

(beat)

I'm saying that a lot right now, aren't I?

Tastes better on the way back down.

-Heph notices the Honchkrow waving-

Heph: <It seems we have company.>

-Vulcan and Ismo turn-

Vulcan: <So it seems, they seem like a friendly sort.>

-Ismo notices the Honchkrow, and hides behind Heph-

Because real life has been a pain and I'm still having trouble catching up on this thing... have a condensed post

<HUZZAH!>

-The source of the intruder alert is promptly squashed by an Aggron dropping through the ceiling just as Tori turned to see what it was-

Stark: <Ah-ha! There you are!>

Tori: "Ah, Stark??"

Stark: <Yup! Did you know that Mimiga we caught wasn't really Iggy?>

Tori: "Well... Yeah? Not that you asked"

Stark: <Heheh, thought so! Well the doctor was pretty upset about that. Gave Maria a thrashing over it too>

-The Aggron shrugs-

<Ah well, the master can't be disobeyed, that's how it goes... And I got sent here to make sure you didn't turn into trouble>

-He grins-

<So I hope you're ready this time!>

.............

-Well, the short version is yes and no-

-After a brief but action-y battle between an Aggron throwing rocks (that mysteriously the few she failed to dodge only knocked her about and broke apart with a white shimmer) and jumping around the room verses a blonde girl with a zappy gun, Tori emerged victorious. On her way out the door she discovered that the mon that sounded the intruder alert was a magnemite that was lodged in the floor after Stark landed on it.-

-After explaining to the Magnemite about the person trapped in the shed, it sent Tori to scavenge the materials for a bomb: Coal (retrieved from Santa the Mimiga's fireplace stash), Jellyfish juice (again), and gum base... Which conveniently enough the person in the shed had a key for where the gum base was kept-

-But as soon as Tori could get into the storage room, "Maria" appeared again, and after a very brief chat that was interrupted by Stark showing up again to warn Maria to take Tori seriously, Maria temporarily turned Stark into a very large Politoad to fight Tori again-

-With that all out of the way, Tori was finally able to get the bomb made, blow the shed door off it's hinges, and confirm the person inside was her brother Blitz!-

-Well, not exactly, he didn't recognize her at all and seemed to think Ignia was his sister. But before much chatting could happen another older man in red glasses and a lab coat refereed to as Professor Booster teleported into the room. Shortly thereafter, the three of them made their way back towards the Mimiga village... But not without Blitz managing to crash a hover scooter-

Fortis: Oh my gosh!

Minty: <Do be careful, my lady. Our foes bring all manner of vicious blades upon us!>

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Hearthome

Talonflame: <Relatively speaking, I suppose.>

-The Honchkrow notices Ismo hide behind Vulcan-

Honchkrow: <Uh, something wrong?>

Vulcan: <He's had a rough bit of his life ruined by Murkrows, so he's a little timid to say the least.>

Honchkrow: <...Oh. Well, that's understandable, then.>

-to Ismo- <No worries if you're nervous around me, just want to be clear I have no intentions of ruining any part of your life.>

Escher House

-Joseph squeaks out at the sight of it, before smiling up at Munn-

Joseph: Good thing you don't use your sword as much, huh?

-his boyfriend cocks his head at Joseph-

Joseph: I mean...it's a sharp thing, and those are sharp things, and I dunno if it would...ah, nevermind.

Another green world.

Vulcan: <Yeah, he's just really shy. By the way, I don't see your trainer. Do you guys not have one?>

Heph: <Still as impulsive as ever it seems>

Talonflame: <Not in practice, at least.>

Honchkrow: <Mine lets me have pretty free reign, but I give him updates, so we're generally good.>

-If Blitz is indeed present, the Honchkrow and Talonflame decide not to remark on his presence unless she remarks on theirs-

Honchkrow: <Oh? What sort of stuff do you do with the forge?>

-Blitz attempts to distract from her potentially odd behavior by finding some subject of discussion to distract Mitch with-

-Fortunately or not, that meant she noticed the birdmon talking with his mon-

F!Blitz: "Ah, Sholto. Fancy running into you here"

-She sets Pipit down with a chuckle-

-Sholto then hears Blitz respond and responds in turn, deciding sounding like a human would raise fewer questions-

Sholto: "Uh, hey, Sh- Blitz."
