ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Hau'oli City Ferry Port

-Holding the Flynium-Z as I wait for the ferry-

Maybe I should try seeing if someone put up a video on Youtube or something...

Helios: -To Muddy- <Do you feel as if we might be missing something?>

Muddy: <Eh, I'm sure the others can handle it, whatever it is.>

Route 2

Ann: -Is practicing with her guitar when she notices a disturbance- ...We should probably go check that out, sounded like it was coming from the Meadow.

Genmei: <Yes, a fight!>

-The Hariyama then suddenly grabs Ann and runs straight in the direction of Melemele Meadow-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Natalie, likewise, starts to fall asleep.-

-Natalie pokes her head in, having heard the messages, seeing the combat scene.-

Natalie: "Oh, that's us. Hi people!"

-Nyssa hops off of her head.-

Natalie: "Nyssa, do a thing."

-Nyssa does, indeed, do a thing.-

-Specifically, she Dark Pulses The Tick.-

Iki Town

-Jason and La arrive at Hala-

Hala: Ha! I assume you're here for your Trial?

La: I'll leave you two be; I sense something's up in Melemele Meadow.

-he heads off-

Melemele Meadow

Alonya: -smiles at Natalie- Natalie! I was just talking about you! Thanks for helping with this little problem.

-The Tick staggers as the Dark Pulse hits them in the back-

Genmei: -Still holding Ann, she comes out of seemingly nowhere and attacks the nearest enemy with an Arm Thrust-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Akala Shores

-Ever takes no particular notice of Shizuo, but Muninn does, narrowing his eyes-

Ever: Hey! Pay attention!

Muninn: <One moment. Do you see that human?>

Ever: Yes?

Muninn: <He's powerful. I can smell it on him.>

Ever: ...Oh. Uh, okay?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Iki Town

Jason:Oh, alright. Thanks!

-Cough-

-to Hala-Yeah, that's right.

-Natalie nods.-

Natalie: "No problem."

-Nyssa Dark Pulses the Tick again, because he's big and dangerous.-

Natalie: "So, what's going on?"

Melemele Meadow

(Altair is buffeted by the Play Rough, but hangs on regardless.)

Altair: <Heh... you think one Fairy move is enough to stop me?>

(Slamming his arm-appendages together, he conjures up a spherical mass of draconic energy and goo which he flings at Harbringer.)

(Isbrand, meanwhile, is distracted by Nyssa.)

Isbrand: <Egads! A fellow vulpine has been turned to the side of these dastardly ruffians!>

Isbrand used Ice Beam on Nyssa!

Tastes better on the way back down.

-The Gifter throws another Present containing a Weak Explosion at the Grimer-

-Meanwhile, two more peoplemons arrive-

SleepyHead: <...Wait, what's that Bug Pokemon? It seems... weird...>

Foudre: <I dunno, but it's on our side so I'm not complaining.>

-She rushes at Nyssa with a Thunder Fang-

Melemele Meadow

Alonya: As I understood it, that kid -points to Ludmilla- interurupted a research operation and then it turned into... this.

-The Tick stumbles, then whips around for a last-ditch Power Up Punch-

-Harbringer hefts up a rock with her horn and flings it in the way of the Dragon Pulse-

Harbinger: <It's cute how you think you're better than me.>

-she jabs Atair in the gut with a Megahorn-

Iki Town

Hala: Here we go then!

-sends out his Mankey-

Akala Shore

-Shizuo raises an eyebrow-

Shizuo: Were you just talking to your Mimikyu?

Verdant Cavern, Yesterday

-The Rockruff relaxes her guard a little-

Rockruff: <Noooo, my game is howling and then biting the problem but I can't bite you effectively so I'm gonna pounceify!>

-And true to word, she Howls before Tackling her foe-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Melemele Meadow

Mister Taylor: HAH! The whole party's here. Well, except for Prokleti. She's still kowtowing to Doctor Goosestep back at base.

-The grunts, and Taylor himself, stop when the sound of rolling thunder crosses the meadow, even in the middle of this bright and sunny day.-

*brrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm*

Mister Taylor: ... Everyone, fall back, we need to get out of here.

-He lifts a hand up and throws a Great Ball.-

Mister Taylor: Crusher!

-A Snorlax standing at almost eight meters tall shakes the ground on impact.-

Mister Taylor: Make us an opening! Grunts, WE! ARE! LEAVING!

Vs! Elite Grunt Mister Taylor!

Akala Shores

Ever: Yeah, why do you ask?

Pleth: <Weren't we supposed to keep that secret?>

Ever: I kind of stopped bothering.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Melemele Meadow

Alonya: Harbringer! Keep holding them off!

-She literally melts into Crusher's massive shadow and starts flinging Shadow Balls at the opposing party from it-

-As the thunder starts rumbling the air tempature starts rapidly cooling and reheating at intervals and the sun shines brighter-

Akala Shores

Shizuo: ...How do you do it?

Shadow: <Now that's intriguing...>

Celeste: <What is?>

Shadow: <Electric moves shouldn't have worked on him. I suspect something else is going on.>

-Celeste tilts her head-

-the Sandshrew opens his eyes-

Sandshrew♂: <Fools... you think you've won but you can't even begin to—>

-and is promptly sucked into a Pokéball-

Pianis: Honestly, I should've just done that in the first place.

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

Akala Shore

Ever: I got turned into a Pokemon using magic and now I can understand them.

Muninn: <Ask him what he can do.>

Ever: Seems like his business.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Melemele Meadow

(Altair briefly grunts as the Megahorn hits him with the force of a truck, then collapses and lays still.)

Isbrand: <No! MY SQUIRE!!!>

(Now thoroughly enraged, the Vulpix launches a torrent of surprisingly powerful Ice Beams in the vague direction of Alonya and Harbringer.)

(From the entrance to the meadow comes a new voice.)

???: <Ah, excellent. I always like it when the target's impossible to miss.>

(Within an instant, Crusher may find himself with a Blaziken's foot piledriving right into his face.)

Svavel used High Jump Kick!

(There at the edge of the meadow is Alex, looking thoroughly confused.)

Tastes better on the way back down.

Tangerine: Hey, that Sandshrew was fighting my team

-Fuego is edged down to the low yellow, but still takes less damage than expected from the attack-

Fuego: <Ok... ok... I don't need a break... pant... pant...>

-mustering his energy for another strike, his bone club flares up again, with a blue flame this time...-

Fuego used Shadow Bone!

-but as he makes contact with the Dust Florges...-

...huh?

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

You guys kinda forgot about the Hariyama.

Hau'oli City Ferry

-Looking at a map of Alola-

Well, we've got two choices. Either we go straight to Akala, or we go ahead to the Aether Paradise to get that info on Ultra Beasts.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Iki Town

Jason:Alright! Let's get this going, Ceres!

-Sends out the Cutiefly-

Ceres:'<Oh, uh...hi....>

-Whips up a Fairy Wind-

-The Rattata is hurt a bit more by the boosted Tackle, but still hangs on-

Rattata: <Well, sorry to rain on your parade, but I'm the better Biter around here.>

-They go in for another Bite-

-Maggie might be near Tagg-

Maggie: "Hm... I'm kinda curious about those Ultra Beasts myself..."

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every

-Nyssa is hit in the side by the ice beam, which does surprisingly little damage, considering Zorua.-

Nyssa: <Who even talks like that anymore?>

-She retaliates against Isbrand with a Payback.-

Natalie: "Wonderful."

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

Tagg:How's this?

Melemele Meadow

-Just as Harbringer is about to celebrate her victory an Ice Beam from Isabrand knocks her straight into the path of Genmei's Force Palm, K Oing her-

-An arm holding a Pokeball apparates out of Crusher's shadow and recalls her before dissapearing again as the Shadow Balls resume-

-While weak, The Tick hits Crusher with a Dynamicpunch-

Iki Town

-The Mankey coughs at the Fairy Wind before sighing and going for a Rock Slide-

Akala Shores

Shizuo: ...Okay then.

-sends out Mikey and a Hakamo-o-

Can you understand Mikey and Kurosawa here?

Mikey: -waves- <What's up, my dudes?>

Kurosawa: -scaly eyebrow raise at Custard- <How'd you wind up here?>

-Crusher the Snorlax is bombarded by attack after attack, and is in fact knocked out.-

-However, he is now falling forward.-

-Right onto all of his attackers.-

-With over a ton's worth of body weight.-

-Thankfully for both the Team Iron associates and the victims of Crusher's collapse, a *blip* pops up behind them as a Xatu and a baggy-eyed, lavender haired young woman shows up.-

Miss Prokleti: M-Mister Tayler! Tapu-

Mister Tayler: Yes, Prokleti, I know, just get us out of here!

-She nods, her Xatu lets out a caw very similar to a biting laugh, and the whole Team Iron crew disappears.-

-Those crushed by Crusher's collapse are now no longer crushed.-

Cu Sith: <Oooooooooooowiiiiiiiiiiiiie...> T^T

-A bolt of lightning strikes the ground, and a yellow-and-black creature now scans the area.-

Verdant Cavern

Rockruff: <Hey, OW! That's a good Bite but I'm better though!>

-She hufflebarks and Howls before charging in with a Bite-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
