ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Stufful: <A-alright...>

-He gets out of the Bulldozer-

Stufful: <Uh... well... we were living there, minding our own business and all of a sudden said 'move, humans are going to use this for something... I don't remember what... Robots attacked us when we tried going back in, though, so... I tried stealing one of their machines, but I lost control and... I don't know...>

Shaun: "Eh, I'l find something. It's just for kicks, really. See ya around."

Clean Bandit: <See ya.>

-Shaun has stopped to look at a booth which contains figures of Sergey in his contest outift, Magnus, and the Aleysha statue from their contest.-

Outsifde the Royal Dome

Maria flutters after the Stufful when he climbs out of the bulldozer and lands on Alana's head.

"Okay I think I understand. It's probably some asshole developing the land or something... Hold on, robots?"

Stufful: <Yeah! They fought us off with psychic energy or something...>

Outside the Royal Dome

".. Psychic energy." Alana has that information processing look on her face again.

It's not like this is the most far fetched thing I've ever heard, but really..?

~It seems like he's telling the truth.. Or what he thinks is the truth, anyhow.~

!!!

Oh, it's just you. That always surprises me. Well, what do you think we should do then?

~ Ask him if he needs help? I don't know... I'm not a mind reader...~

You

You kind of are?? Isn't that what you're doing now?

~Mind reading and telepathy are slightly different things...~

... If you say so!

All the Stufful will probably notice is Alana's face scrunching up when she's mentally replying to Maria. She turns back to the Stufful when she's done.

"So uh, do you want us to help you out or something?"

Stufful: <Oh, yeah! I could use some help!>

J-Con 2017, past

Shizuo: -blinks- So they're more... Movers and shakers I think is the term?

J-Con, now

-Shizuo, Gudrunn, Locke, and especially Alli are looking around-

-Any of them may be interacted with.-

J-Con

Phaz is walking looking around at nothing but the stands.

He may run into Locke.

Sholto: "Oh, yeah, that's a good way to describe it."

Outisde the Royal Dome

"Okay then. Lead me there I guess?"

~ You should probably tell someone where you're going in case something happens first...~

Oh, yeah probably.

Alana sends a quick text to her sister. It's met with a "What? ... Okay, don't hurt yourself I guess.."

"Okay, ready to go."

Stufful: <A-alright, this way...>

-The Stufful leads Alana...

-...here, just outside what looks to be like land that's been made into some berry fields, with robots harvesting the berries-

-A young man who's a little shorter than you might expect from one approaching his 22nd birthday is wandering into town with a shiny ditto on his shoulder after having completed Ilima's trial at an indeterminate point in the past-

Blitz: "Lot quieter than when we first arrived, huh?"

Rocket: <Tends to happen when you're indecisive>

Royal Dome

-Ever is wandering, holding Cross and wearing Muninn over his head as a mask. Muninn seems deeply confused by the arrangement-

Ever: How do they keep finding us? And who funds these?

Muninn: <I recall donating once. It helped me keep track of the lot of you.>

Ever: ...Insidious.

Muninn: <Thank you.>

Cross: <Are you going to put me down?>

Ever: Nah. See, I'm pretty sure that if you do that, you're going to go pick a fight with somebody.

Cross: <...I might not.>

Ever: Let's not sully our friendship with lies.

Stand Owner: Hey! Are you looking for J-team fanart?

Ever: I don't believe in visual media, sorry.

Other Stand Owner: Do you want to read this fanfic?

Ever: If I want fanfic I'll ask an Umbreon.

Stand User: You are strangely dressed, and I can only assume we are meant to battle.

Ever: Wait, wha—

-Ever arcs over the convention and crashes to the ground somewhere else-

Ever: ...Why is the world like this?

Brooklet Hill

-The MASSIVE Totem Wishiwashi roars as Ludmilla throws out Anastasia.-

Anastasia: <Hm. Bring it.>

Ludmilla: Razor Leaf!

-A smaller Wishiwashi pops up out of the water as the Steenee throws a wall of spinning razors.-

Wishiwashi: <Fight yo-AAAH!>

-The Totem winces as the blades tear up his flanks, and the minor Wishiwashi drops back into the water.-

Totem Wishiwashi: <Begone!>

-The Totem seems to wiggle and undulate, and the sky darkens. Rain starts pelting down hard.-

Ludmilla: Again! Another Razor Leaf!

-Anastasia fires another wall of leafs, though this time the Totem is prepared. He fires a massive Water Gun in response, redirecting the worst of the razors and slamming into Anastasia with a shocking amount of force.-

Anastasia: <Oof.>

Ludmilla: You okay?

Anastasia: <Urk.>

-An Alomomola pops out of the water.-

Alomomola: <Hey, sailor~>

Totem Wishiwashi: <HEAL!>

Alomomola: <Yeah, yeah, give me a second, I just got here.>

-Ludmilla recalls Anastasia.-

Ludmilla: Go, Hermes!

-The Pikachu does a front flip midair and lands on the Wishiwashi's back.-

Totem Wishiwashi: <... Uh oh.>

Ludmilla: Electro Ball!

Totem Wishiwashi: <No no no no NO NO NO NONONONONO->

Hermes: <Hey, big guy, can you hit a fastball?!>

-The Pikachu leaps back into the air, electricity collecting on the end of his tail. He begins to spin, with the field of lightning getting brighter, and bigger, the faster and longer he goes. And he keeps going, and going, and going, as the Wishiwashi tries to move his massive bulk.-

Totem Wishiwashi: <NONONONONONONONO>

-...-

-...-

-...-

-The rain slows, and then stops.-

Hermes: <Did a spin too much?>

Totem Wishiwashi: <... ow...>

J-Con 2017

Locke: -to Phaz, holding something- Uh, hey?

J-Con

Phaz stops right before bumping into Locke.

Phaz: Oops, sorry. See that it's Locke Oh, hi there... How are you? Points to the unknown thing in Locke's hands And... what's this?

owo

J-Con 2017

-Locke pulls out two magnet-kissing plush dolls of Umbra ansd Lina-

Locke: Er, hey there. As for your question... Who are these supposed to be? They look uncomfortably like my parents.

-he clacks them together for emphasis-

J-Con

Phaz: I don't know, but that's pretty weird indeed. I would'nt even get my hands on plushies of my parents that are like this. -Beat- Do you know what the... Gee-Team is? Apparently it's a convention based on them, and I'm too scared to ask some groupie. Y'know, in case they'd shred me to shreds for not knowing the thing.

-Shaun and Tsunami are looking at a pamphlet.-

Shaun: "So this is different. Kinda like a Double Battle, except eveyone is fighting each other and it ends when one team has fainted."

Tsunami: <Good way to test your mettle. I'm curious.>

Shaun: "Yep! Think I'd go with you, Ace, and Rose. She still needs some training, and I've been thinking about different techniques. Most people are at the convention, though..."

Tsunami: <Hmmph. Serious combatants will still come.>

Shaun: "I suppose. It's strange, though. I've been to a couple cons back in Sinnoh, but it was always fiction - anime and games. This though...they're real people. Still, gotta admire their dedication. A lot of this homemade merch is actually high-quality."

-He pulls the figures he bought out of his bag.-

Shaun: "Wonder when I can give them this. I would have liked to see it in person."

Tsunami: <Not really my kind of thing. Ace and Ruby would have liked it."

-Shaun chuckles.-

Shaun: "Well, I did take them to contests a few times. Maybe they would like to participate in one, though."

-He gets to his feet.-

Shaun: "Let's go sign up."

-Anyone can interact with the pair while they sign up and wait for opponents.-

J-Con 2017

Locke: The J-Team? They're a bunch of Trainers that go around having crazy adventures. I'm a part of them, as were my parents who these dolls were apparently based off of.

-He eyes the Umbra doll up and down-

A trenchcoat and a fedora? I thought my dad had better fashion sense than that.

Brooklet Hill

-Ludmilla squats down next to Lana, who had been blasted onto her back. The latter is just staring up at the clearing sky.-

Lana: ... Wow.

-She swings herself up into a sitting position.-

Lana: That was something.

Ludmilla: Sorry about all of that.

Lana: Oh, no worries. When my Wishiwashi were getting scared of you, I thought you might have been a lot meaner than you turned out to be.

Ludmilla: I... get that a lot.

-Lana rubs the back of her head.-

Lana: Y'know what, I should have at least had you fight a few Wishiwashi before sending you against the big guy, even though you ended up doing fine.

-She pulls out a small blue gem.-

Lana: Here's your Waternium-Z. Here, let me get up so I can show you the pose...

J-Con

Phaz: So... Thoses guys who were fighting the Glitch in Jubilife City. It was them? Also thoses guys when the Glitch made me teleport to things like a Shadow Heatran or a thing where we were in historical clothes, or that time when we were Mons, or that time when there was peoples and mons crucified?!

J-Con 2017

Locke: ...I did not hear about this.
