ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Route 1, today

-To Ever-

Apparently, if you don't feel like getting someone's Ride Pager number.

Route 1

Ever: ...Got it. Weird.

Route 1

So are you planning to take on the Island Challenge?

Vullaby: <Yeah, sure is a long time. But I'm sure I'll find her. EVENTUALLY!>

Sholto: -to Alana- "Oh, huh. Wouldn't surprise me."

"Though... I'm curious, as far as I know, most of the people who got involved with that were members of the Phone People. Does that mean you're one of them?"

-Shaun and Lightning are walking around and can be intereacted with.-

-Maggie begins to come to when she is awakened by Sweetie-

Sweetie: <Maggie! My queen!>

Maggie: "Ngh... What happened..."

Sweetie: <I'm not certain... I was trying to sell honey to someone and then... I think they used Hypnosis on me.>

Maggie: "Mm... that must be what happened to me..."

"Did you recognize what kind of Pokemon did it?"

Sweetie: <Not completely, but they were pretty tall...>

-Maggie gets out her PokeGear and tries to turn it on-

Maggie: "Rm... Thought I charged this... Maybe something got at it while I was asleep."

"But, yeah, we should probably head back somewhere."

-Sweetie nods and they head for the Route 1 Pokemon Center-

-Shaun and Lightning may or may not run into a man dressed like a combination of breeder and roughneck, carrying an egg in some sort of container-

Shaun noticed a man carrying an egg through the city. A breeder? I've never seen an egg of that sort before.

Shaun: "Excuse me, sir. What kind of egg is that?"

Lanie: Maybe we could help!

Zeal: Do you have any idea where to start, at least?

-The breeder notices his attention being called and looks at the egg-

Breeder: "Uh, I think it's called a Crabrawler? They're kind of common around these parts, apparently."

Route 1

Ever: Is that like a league?

Shaun: "Let me guess, a Fighting-type crab Pokemon? I'm sure my old teacher would be interested in a Pokemon like that."

Alola, Boat from Akala to Mele-Mele [Day]

Phaz: -manipulating the inside of the Rotomdex- So why does everyone starts at Mele-Mele?

Volta: >"Mele-Mele was considered the isle to start in traditions."

>"It was chosen because of this."

Phaz: Okay... I guess Alola is really based on the traditions.

Volta: >Yes.

>For example, the original welcome sign is "Alola".

Phaz: That's a thing. It would be silly in Hoenn to welcome someone with "Hoenn!".

Volta: >It's because it's imprinted in the traditions.

>It's just not in your genes I guess.

>But yeah, that's silly.

Phaz: examining the electricity port We are okay on this then. What are the different Pokemons?

Volta: >Don't manipulate that thing please.

Phaz: scribbling on his new notebook Sorry, just checking the way you power up the thing. There's no battery in it...

Volta: >Well, duh.

>It's powered by me.

Phaz: Yeah, yeah, but you should not fight with this. So i can't use it when you're fighting.

Volta: >Oh okay.

>Maybe add a condensator?

>It'll let it work for a couple minutes without me.

>The current i generate is akin to a low voltage, so maybe use a video game console condensator.

Phaz: I'll do it on the land then. So... the Pokemons?

Volta: >Different species from the others.

>Also a lot of Kanto Pokemons.

>But they differ from what I know of them...

Phaz: In which way?

Volta: >They evolved to adapt to the environment.

>Prof Darwin's theories at it finest.

Phaz: Oh. Okay. That's... cool. They change in which ways?

Volta: >They got different types.

>For example, Rattatas over there also have a Dark type.

Phaz: Interesting...

Mele-Mele, Hau'li City, Port [Day]

Phaz: Well... It sure is a nice place.

Phaz and his mons are available for interaction.

Breeder: "Yeah, it's a... Fighting-type. But, er, is your teacher a fan of... those kind of Pokemon?"

-Elsewhere, Phaz might notice Soujin wandering around-

Shaun: "Those type? You mean Fighting-types? No more than other types of Pokemon. When I was his apprentice, he told me that he liked all Pokemon. I just thought he might be interested in a crab Pokemon. He did always have a soft spot for Pokemon associated with the beach and ocean. He actually bred a Sneasel with a Prinplup just for me. That's where my starter came from."

Breeder: "Ah, that'd make sense. I do have a few of those myself."

"But, yeah, that's kind of interesting. I didn't plan it that way at first, but my starter sorta came from the daycare I'm working at now."

Shaun: "Really? That's cool. So there's a daycare on Alola?"

edited 25th Feb '17 10:03:52 AM by SwiftSeraph

Breeder: "Well... I'd be surprised if there weren't, but I don't know for sure where it'd be. The daycare I work at is actually in Hoenn. I'm just here to deliver an egg to a client. Of course, I might come back sometime when I'm not working."

Shaun: "You came all the way here just to deliver an egg? That's admirable. I actually came here for the sense of adventure. I was going to go to Kanto, but Alola just seemed so much more exotic."

Breeder: "Ah, thanks."

"But, anyway, I guess I should introduce myself. You can call me Kaisei."

Hau'oli City — Yesterday

Scarlette: ...Unfortunately, no. We've got no idea.

Iki Town, Hala's House — Last Night

-A window slowly sliiiiiides open.-

-Punk, the Team Skull Grunt, peeks inside.-

-He kneels down, and carefully pushes a Drowzee up through the window and into the house.-

-The Drowzee fumbles somewhat as it lowers itself into the room, but makes it in just fine.-

-SNOOOOOOOOORE.-

-Punk and the Drowzee stiffen, noticing a Primeape sleeping in the corner of the room.-

-Punk resists the urge to swear under his breath.-

-He climbs in, very slowly, careful not to wake the Primeape up.-

-Once he's in, he looks around, then zeroes in on a set of Z-Rings and a pile of Fightinium Zs.-

-He slowly sneaks over to thSQUEAKY FLOORBOARD TIME NOW-

-Punk inhales sharply.-

-SNOOOOOOOOORE.-

-Holding his breath, he leans over to the shelf and snags a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal before breathing a sigh of relief.-

Primeape: <Zzzzzz-snrkwha?>

-The Primeape opens its eyes, and sees Punk.-

-Everyone goes absolutely still for several seconds.-

Punk: ...Drowzee, please use Hypnosis really quickly so I don't die?

-The Primeape squeals angrily and starts storming in Punk's direction before getting put back to sleep. Punk recalls his Drowzee and dives out the window while a distinct, heavy shuffling echoes from the other room.-

-By the time Hala sees the open window and the missing Z-Ring, Punk is already gone.-

-Lanie frowns.-

Lanie: Well that's irritating.

Shaun: "Nice to meet you Kaisei. I'm Shaun, and my Pikachu is named Lightning."

Lightning: <Oh, um, hello.>

edited 25th Feb '17 10:04:22 AM by SwiftSeraph

Try gold or cinnamon?

Kaisei: "Nice to meet you both."

"Oh, I might as well introduce one of my Pokemon as well..."

-He throws a ball and out comes a Charmeleon-

Kaisei: "This is Hazard."

Hazard: <Hey.>

Fixed. That's what I get for doing it from memory.

Lightning: <Hi>

Lightning stepped a little farther behind Shaun's legs, clinging to his pants.

Hazard: <You shy or something?>
