ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Shaun: "I figured. Let me place the order. I'd invite you in, but I don't think you would fit Sphere. No offense."

-He sets Jessica down and heads back inside. Jessica sits down, her three tails wagging eagerly.-

Jessica: <Just a regular party out here, huh?>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Sphere: <None taken.>

Gogie: <Yup!>

Between Route 7 and Route 8:

Nice, a new one. That one looks like like either Grass or Bug-type. Although it could be Fairy. Anyway, it's the perfect chance to try out my new one.

Filros: I'll go for a Salazzle, then.

   Salamandra:    <Bring it.>

Filros: Salamandra, keep your distance and start with a Sludge Bomb.

In the meantime, I take out my pokedex and check it.

-Iskandar takes the sludge bomb to the chest, shaking himself.-

Iskandar: <Back, you foul, dark, reptilian miscreant!>

-He sets himself into a guarded stance, charging the blades along his arms with green energy.-

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

Between Route 7 and Route 8:

   Salamandra:    <Never, but feel free to try and make me.>

So, they want to play from the distance. As if I had any problem with that. Let's see who's better at it.
Filros: Use Smog to cloud their vision, then move around.

She seems a bit let down by that. Probably would have liked more to keep hitting them, or going straight for Toxic. Still, she complies.

Brooklet Hill

Takumi is hit by the Ice Beam!

It's Super Effective!

Takumi: <Bleh! Take this!>

He used Pluck!

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't gold

-Iskandar keeps his eyes locked on Salamandra, a focused glint in his eyes.-

Iskandar: <I am Iskandar, warrior of light! Be purged by the wrath of the sun!>

-And with that, he attempt to slash into Salamandra with the Solar Blade he had been charging.-

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

Between Route 7 and Route 8:

   Salamandra:    <That's how I like it.>

She stops, while the blade of pierces for an istant the cloud of smoke, hitting and her. She falls with a hand on the ground, smiling.

   Salamandra:    <But I was made to feast upon the likes of you.>

We will have to work on that.

Filros: Keep moving around them, Sludge Bomb again. And this time, please, dodge.

Maggie: "Hm... Salamandra looks interesting. Wonder if she's like the kind of Pokemon we'll have to face in the Fire Trial?"

Chum: <Well, I'd be more prepared for dealing with her than that Solar Blade, at least.>

Royal Avenue Pokemon Center

Detective: I have you now, Professor Mindsploder! You and your telepathic head exploders won't escape JUSTICE!

Professor Mindsploder: Really? Tell me detective, how do you plan on prosecuting...

-Dramatic chair turn!-

Professor Mindsploder: A BABY!

*DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUN*

-Ludmilla turns off the TV.-

Ludmilla: That was dumb.

Doomsday: <So much for bed rest.>

Ludmilla: Let's go train.

Doomsday: <Yeah, sure.>

-Ace seems to be considering something, but says nothing. Tsunami and Jessica, however, can make an educated guess.-

Jessica: <Hey Gogie, how do you and Sphere know each other?>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Sphere: -to Jessica- <Oh, he was fishing in Lilycove, caught me, been on his team since. Haven't had much better to do.>

Gogie: -to Ace- <Something up?>

Ace: <Well, I wasn't sure if Sphere knew, but since she does, how are you able to switch forms?>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Gogie: <Uh... Well, my trainer's a weremon, but when he changes, he transforms those close enough to him until sundown or sunup, as applicable.>

<His girlfriend ended up finding some armbands that make sunlight not affect you, though. Which is how I can stay human at night sometimes. I usually just take it off when I want to change back.>

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

Ace: <So when he transforms, he causes other lycanthropes near him to also transform? And then the sunrise and sunset cause you to go back to your original form?>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Gogie: <Pretty much. Though, they don't have to be lycanthropes. Works on any Pokemon or human, really.>

Ace: <That's...interesting. So your trainer is here on the island as well?>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Gogie: <Uh, probably. Dunno when he said he'd be done with wedding planning.>

Ruby: <You said he had a girlfriend? Are they getting married?>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Gogie: <Yeah, wedding's planned for October. They're scoping out a potential place for it now.>

Ruby: <Oh! Give them my congratulations.>

-Tsunami appears to have been considering something, and she now looks at Ace.-

Tsunami: <If an armband could stop someone from transforming, could one likewise transform someone?>

Ace: <Perhaps. Have you heard of anything like that, Gogie?>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Gogie: -to Ruby- <Will do!>

-to Ace- <Oh, yeah, those exist. Some of the people on the J-Team have them.>

Gogie: <Sounds like you're still thinking about the 'being human' thing?>

<And, yeah. They're a team we're a part of that came here.>

Ace: <Admittedly, yes. I find the concept interesting, and I can see a lot of pros to it.>
