ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Route 4

Grubbin: <Wait, you want me to join your team?>

Alli: Yep! See, there are some powerful Water-types we need you to beat up.

Grubbin: <Are they weebs?>

Alli: ...Yes.

Grubbin: <I'm in.>

-Alli places the Grubbin down and throws a Net Ball-

-Alli then sends the Grubbin back out and places him on her shoulder-

Botox: <Are we going to give him a name?>

Grubbin: <It better be good!>

Alli: Hmm... Soujin, what is this guy gonna be like when he evolves, aside from the electric thing?

Soujin: "Uh..."

-He searches for and eventually shows Alli a picture of a Vikavolt-

Route 4

-Alli stares mesmerized at the picture of Vikavolt-

Alli: It's that Pokemon Scott used! It's beautiful... It's like the beetle equivalent of a fighter jet that's somehow armed with a railgun...

-blinks, shakes her head, then starts thinking-

Railgun... Radiant Silvergun ... How about Silvagunner?

Grubbin: <Hmmm... Would be great, but that hard L's killing it.>

Alli -blinks- Uhh... Siivagunner?

Grubbin Siivagunner: <There we go! High quality.>

Botox: <I am not sure you and I have the same definition of quality.>

Soujin: "Yeah..."

Orlok: <I like it!>

Route 4

Siivagunner: <Alright then! Celebration rap!>

-Plays this on his miniature speakers:-

Soujin: "...I have no idea how to respond to this."

Orlok: <Well, it's better than the last one.>

Team Iron Auxiliary Base

-Orlandeau and Aulstyne sit across from one another as the display shows their compatriots.-

Orlandeau: We've had individual agents collecting nectar in far smaller quantities ever since the Melemele incident. It has put back our testing of the substance for some time, but we're making progress nonetheless.

Aulstyne: My goodness, Bartholomew, if only you'd shown some subtlety in the field, we'd be on schedule...

Orlandeau: If only you had your agents assigned to field work so that encounters with trainers, J-Team or otherwise, wouldn't erupt into Legendary intervention.

Aulstyne: My dear Doktor Orlandeau, I assure you, my agents are strictly for defensive purposes. And thus far, no one has attacked the base, so there's been no need for my elite agents.

-Orlandeau knew that Aulstyne was needling him, but damned if that condescending tone didn't irk him.-

Cid: Enough, you two.

-The two break the staring contest they'd unknowingly pulled themselves into. Raines snickers in his chair on the other side of the monitor.-

Cid: Orlandeau, what is your next objective?

Orlandeau: Presently, it is the isolation and elimination of a Tapu, if not all of them simultaneously.

Cid: And what of the Solgaleo and Lunala?

Orlandeau: ... We do not know enough of them to formulate a plan regarding them.

-Cid nods.-

Cid: ... A reasonable response. Do we know if the Tapu have regenerative properties?

-He turns to look at Previa, who jumps and fumbles with his papers. He coughs and orders his thoughts.-

Previa: Wh-what information we have following the Wormhole Incursion incident, the Tapu show a great deal of endurance to drawn-out fights with singular combatants. However, the aftereffects are not well documented due to the Tapu going back into hiding immediately after the incident. From the little combat data we do have, however, they have shown no real exceptional regenerative capabilities aside from the moves that carry such properties innately.

-Cid nods, thinking for a moment.-

Raines: So all you gotta do is trap 'em, find a way to give a false signal to the others to show an all-clear - I mean, considering the barely show up on their own islands, I doubt they leave them to check on each other often - and then...

-He stops and thinks. And thinks. And thinks.-

Raines: Hey, going back a step, how are we supposed to kill them?

-Orlandeau, for the first time in this meeting, gives a smile that would make a snake cringe.-

Orlandeau: I do believe I have an answer to that...

-He taps a button on his watch, and a chemical formula shows up on the display. Previa falls out of his chair. Raines goes pale. Aulstyne stays silent. Cid's eyebrows raise.-

-Shaun has finally arrived here after going back to Heahea due to the UB incident.-

-There is silence.-

Ruins Of Abundance, past

Ilya: <...Hello?>

-The sound of a bell rings out.-

Ruins Of Abundance

Ilya: <...Tapu Bulu, are you there?>

-The sound of a bell ringing can be heard again. A voice echoes out.-

Tapu Bulu: <Yep! You need something from me?>

Ruins Of Abundance, past

Ilya: <Yeah, I need to give you a warning. One also for your fellow Tapu as well as all of Alola.>

Tapu Bulu: <Oh?>

-The bell rings again as Tapu Bulu appears.-

<Well, this sounds serious.>

Soujin: "Well, Water-types are weak to Electricity and Grass..."

Orlok: <They're strong against Fire, though.>

Ruins of Abundance, past

Ilya: <We found activity by some shady organization in Melemele Meadow, and they reacted very strongly to the presence of Legendaries. It's best if everyone keeps an eye out.>

Route 4

Alli: Well, Siivagunner could use Electric moves... Anyone else able to learn Electric and Grass moves?

Tapu Bulu: <Hrm. That's it, then? I don't have to do anything, yeah?>

Orlok: <I know Absorb!>

Soujin: "Uh... maybe try TMs? A fair number of Pokemon can learn something like Thunderbolt."
