ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Hou'oli City

No, it's quite important they remain secret for now...

Mall

Ever: Well, mine used to be this Latios who followed me around and tried to murder me. But I killed him first, and now he's a ghost and he's adorable. Tada.

-he waves to Tagg-

Meanwhile

-Muninn's eyes (the Latios ones, somehow) flick back and forth-

Muninn: <About thirty trainers. Mostly with Hydreigon and a handful of Gardevoir.>

Jenna: That's... something. I'd say I'm surprised but I can't be anymore, not after that whole mess.

Hau'oli Mall-

-Waves at Ever-

Muddy: <Tagg... is that an actual-

Yes, and I'm not sure how they got it. Maybe they're some greater spirit in disguise or something.

-Notices Jenna glaring and decides it's probably best not to get closer-

And now I'm reminded that what happened in Orre was about three years ago.

Ann: Bro, why's that girl glaring at you?

It's a long story, and one I'm not discussing in public, even with the Orren state government holding my leash.

Helios: -Sniffs- <What's that smell?>

Tyto: <It's really bad!>

Pici: <Yeah...>

Muddy: <Must be if even the birds can smell it.>

Mall

-Huginn's own eyes shift between her brother and Ever-

Huginn: <Hmmm... How's it been since? For me, mostly wandering these wretched islands, everything else too repulsed to come close.>

Mall

Ever: I know, right?

Meanwhile

Muninn: <Much the same, really. Fell back into the world somewhere in Sinnoh, wandered around a little, managed to stow away on a ship bound here for a...change of pace.>

Mall

Huginn: <Really? Are you sure it doesn't have something to do with that human boy over there?>

Jenna: ...Yeah. You better not try to blow up my stand or anything.

Mall

Ever: I've had bad experiences with stands.

Meanwhile

Muninn: <...What on earth are you talking about? What human boy? I don't know what a human is.>

Hajime: "Fair enough."

Tauros: <Now I admit I'm curious. You wouldn't believe the stuff those of us working on Ride Pagers have heard when no one thinks anyone else is listening.>

-Ricin comes into view-

Ricin: <Uh, hey, everyone. Would say it's been a while, but I don't think most of you know me.>

-One of the things that Ever couldn't believe was real may or may not be a hyperrealistic painting of a Pyroar-

Mall

Huginn: <You know what they are! The gangly apes who aren't even Pokemon infesting even this very structure. Look, you don't have to cover anything up to me, I was hopinfg to work with you for old time's sake.>

Mall

-Ever tilts his head-

What Pokemon is that?

Meanwhile

Muninn: <...Okay, okay, fine, the blue human stabbed me to death. It was embarrassing and now I'm dead and let's not talk about that anymore.>

-he flicks the Latios head out of the way, and his real eyes narrow-

<What is it you had in mind?>

-Sholto looks as Will leaves-

Sholto: <And that's why I'm careful around Psychics.>

Lisa: <Hm? I think you'd be more excited. A Trainer who's a Pokemon that isn't already one of your friends.>

Sholto: <If he wanted to be a trainer and that person wanted to be a Mudkip there are better ways to sort it out than that.>

Lisa: <I would agree, just giving you a hard time.>

-A kid with a large head and outrageous hairstyle appears next to Ever as a disco ball drops from the ceiling-

Kid: "The answer to that question and the painting can be yours if you provide the correct answer to this question: Please can I Ride The Lightning Tonight?"

Shopkeep: "Hey, kid, I thought I told you to get out of here!"

-The kid looks at Ever, then the shopkeep, then books it, taking the disco ball with him-

Shopkeep: "Sorry, he's been trying to scam people to try and ride this sketchy rollercoaster that just came to town."

"...But, if he did convince you to get the painting..."

This would be longer, but I'm falling asleep, so...

Mall

Huginn: <...Consider it done. Anyway->

-Water Gun-

-Slash-

-Water Gun-

-Ultra Ball-

Alli: Got one! I didn't think you could find Mimikyu here!

-turns to Muninn-

Already got mine, so I'll leave you be!

-heads off with Gerald-

Mall

Ever: -sighs- I Hate

Narrow: <I'm trying to figure out how I can physically feel the lack of punctuation, but I can.>

Meanwhile

Muninn: <...I Hate>

Jenna: I hate a lot of things, a lot of which are connected to your team and that guy who is literally right behind you. So excuse me if I don't have too much sympathy.

Muddy: <Oh, hey Ricin.>

Botuli: -To Ricin- <You look like a Muk... but different.>

-Ricin is a bit surprised at seeing Botuli-

Ricin: <Same with you and Grimer.>

-To Botuli-

This is what you guys look like outside of Alola.

Botuli: <Oh....>

-To Ricin, pointing to her "teeth"-

<Why don't you have these?>

Ann: -To Jenna- Are you running a move tutor business?

Ricin: <Huh, that explains things...>

<I guess I'm used to being the same thing all the way through. What are those made out of, anyway?>

Jenna: Yeah. I teach Fire moves specifically. There are supposed to be two other people here for Grass and Water, but they didn't show today.

Botuli: -To Ricin- <One time a Rattata ate one that fell out, and then they died. They tasted delicious.>

Ann: Shame, I don't think any of my mons can learn Fire type moves.

Well, at least Jenna's not a Sins of the Father type, or in this case, brother.

Jenna: That's a shame. By the way, is that Tag guy your brother? Because he's a jerk.

-...-

Jenna: You probably know that already, but I figured it was worth repeating.

Ricin: <Huh, didn't know they could fall out. Then again, apparently teeth do that too...>

<By the way... you wanna see something cool?>

Ann: Well, Tagg and I used to fight a lot as kids, but not anym-Wait... can you teach Hirunda Heat Wave?

Botuli: -To Ricin- <Sure.>
