ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Verdant Cavern

Scarlette: R-right, good to know.

Rose: So... should we do the first trial together, then separate for the rest?

-Scarlette blinks, then turns to Ilima-

Scarlette: Uh, does— can it actually work like that?

Route 2 1, Pokécenter - Past

Sergey: "I only saw an advertisment for it, seems its a device you can use to call some Pokémon to ride them if you have no license for your own."

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

Ilima: "Hm..."

-There is a glint in his eye-

"Be my guest. Do note that things might be a bit... different, though."

Hau'oli City, by the boat

Ever: Oh, I call him—

Muninn: -sticks a needle-y claw of shadow into Ever's hand-

Ever: Must. It's a corruption of the [Finnish] for memory, which seems fitting for a ghost, right?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Verdant Cavern

Scarlette: ...Suddenly I'm scared.

Rose: I'm sure it's nothing to be afraid of. Just a bigger challenge to account for both of us, right? We can do this.

Scarlette: Um... r-right, okay. We can do this!

-Rose smiles, and takes Scarlette by the hand and heads into the cave with her.-

-Scheherezade frowns.- "Huh."

Dunyazade: ~I presume you're looking for the J-team to help get them back?~

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

Hau'oli

Locke: Precisely. Preferably someone who knew them both pretty well.

Hau'oli Malasada Shop

Well, we do tend to stick together like glue.

Hau'oli, several hours later

-Notices Alli and Locke-

Wait a second...

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Hau'oli City

Alli: Hi Tagg! This is Locke!

Contact Me!

-Scheherezade nods.-

Scheherezade: "Well, that would make sense, I suppose."

-Dunyazade notices Tagg.-

Dunyazade: ~Oh, hi Tagg! ... It's Tagg, right?~

-She waves. Pharah scowls, as she usually does.-

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

Shaun: "That could be useful. I prefer to use Tsunami, though."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

-Ilima steps in as well and sends out a Smeargle-

Ilima: "Smeargle, would you do the honors?"

-Smeargle nods and takes a deep breath-

Smeargle: <WAKE UP!>

-Some Yungoos and Rattata begin to stir-

Ilima: "Your challenge is simple, beat three Yungoos or Rattata, then head to the back of the cavern to challenge the Totem Pokémon."

"You might want to try and check in their burrows."

Hau'oli Malasada Shop

Vierr: Yeah. And here I was, thinking I'd come here separate from everyone else.

-He gets his food and sits with Star and Tagg-

Vierr: So, you're part of the old guard, then?

Verdant Cavern

Scarlette: ...Uh. Huh.

Rose: Looks like we're splitting up, then. You check over there, I'll check this one?

Scarlette: Right, yeah.

-Gus follows Scarlette toward one burrow, while Rose prepares to send out one of her team members against another.-

-A Rattata leaps out to try and Tackle Gus while Rose gets a face full of Yungoos-

Malasada Shop, Past

Ssssssssssssort of? I think I joined early on, but I also don't exactly know how long the J-team had been a thing when I joined.

What about you?

I'm honestly not sure how many people have shuffled in and out since I last did something with these guys...

Hau'oli, Route 2 bound

-was totally with Vierr and Tagg this whole time-

Hm?

Route 1, Beachside, Ten Carat Hill Entrance

-Rocks. Big rocks. More importantly big rocks blocking the path to the only place to find the puppymon that Pent wanted to catch one of-

Hm...

-Pent paces back and forth in front of the rocks next to the entrance and grumbles at them slightly-

I wonder if...

-The Trial attendant on the other side of the rocks is giving quite the "Go on, just try to break these with Rock Smash, I dare ya" glare-

Gah. I'll be back later...

-The Trial attendant nods and goes back to their casual leaning about as Pent walks away-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Verdant Cavern

Rose: AAH!

-She flails and sends out Domino, who initially expects to be fighting something, y'know, on the ground. He notices Rose's predicament, however, and flies up to attempt to pry the Yungoos off of her face.-

-Meanwhile, Gus is tackled, but takes relatively minor damage due to resisting it. In retaliation, he bites the Rattata.-

Scarlette: Gus wait it's a Dark type that's not very effective hold on please

Malasada Shop

Vierr: Ah. I've been around... I think four years or so? Ish? Geez, I actually can't remember how long ago you guys came to Holon.

Hau'oli City — Now

-Vierr blinks, but waves to Locke and Alli-

Vierr: ...You guys seem... familiar? I think?

And this is the part where I realize I never actually had Alli meet Vierr I don't think

Route 1, Pokécenter - Past

Sergey took a sall sip of the cocoa

Sergey: "Same for me and Mistral, although it'd be useful for crossing lakes and the like for me as I do not own any Pokémon that could relieably carry me while swimming."

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

Lilac smiles. "Ah, memory. You know, one of the [Norse] gods used to have a pair of Honchcrow called Memory and Thought. I mean, it was in [Norse], and ironically, the [Norse] name eludes me at the moment. My family always told me to respect the crows, they brought whispers of the world back to the god. You whispering to your Mimikyu Reminded me of that story. Course, Must is clearly not a crow. Sure do wonder what you two are talking about though~ The minds of the Fae fascinate me~"

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Hau'oli City, Boat

Ever: I dunno, I don't think there's a whole lot going on in the mind of Must.

Muninn: <How dare you?>

Ever: He's sort of a small angry cupcake.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Hau'oli, past

-To Star-

We'd been a thing for about... three to four months when we first met in Almia?

-To Vierr-

It'll be four this summer.

Hau'oli, now

-To Locke and co's party-

He-Did you say Locke?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Hau'oli City

Alli: Yep!

Locke: -blinks- What about me?

Contact Me!

Shaun: "Yeah, I suppose it would be good for long trips so that my Mons can rest while I keep traveling."

The Cafe Owner returned with two Lumoise Galettes and two sacks of Indigo Poke Beans. "Here you go."

Shaun: "Thanks."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

-The Rattata is Bitten, not taking too much damage-

Rattata: <...You want to see a Bite?>

-They try and Bite down on Gus themselves-

-Meanwhile, the Yungoos is knocked off of Rose's face, but tries to disarm Domino with a Leer-

Sergey patiently waited, thinking a bit before continuing.

Sergey: "The Pokémon here are quite intersting, don't you think?"
