ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Cobalt Chaser, Gym

Star is practicing hand to.. wing, I guess, combat on a practice dummy.

" Hm. It's weird doing this on the ground.."

Malie City

-Cun Annwn and Rio look at the Pokemon lined up before them.-

Rio: <Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.>

Cun Annwn: <Oh, don't be like that! Let's give them a chance.>

-Standing before the duo, in order from left to right:

Azurill: <O-oh my goodness... so... so many people here...> T^T

Shroomish: <Hrmph.>

Happiny: <There is good, there is good, there is untapped good! Like inside, the worst of us is good!>

Pancham: <Omigosh you're that Stoutland! That's so cool!>

Ralts: <...>

-Cun blinks.-

Cun Annwn: <A Ralts? I didn't know they lived in Alola.>

Rio: <They don't.>

-Nearby, a certain Shiny Ralts laughs.-

Satele: <That's my sister! She's YOUR problem now! Cya, sis!>

-blip-

Cun Annwn: <... "Our problem"?>

-Rio shrugs.-

-Beat-

Ralts: <Bye, sis!>

Cun Annwn: *blink*

Nevermind

Cobalt Chaser, Target Range

Alyesha made a Hand Behind Head motion, for now turning away from the targets and sitting on the ground with crossed legs

Alyesha: "Eheh, yeah... in the world we come from... well... we're humans - most of us anyway... but I guess you don't know how a human looks like, do you?" ;^_^

-Lyra looks up.-

Lyra: "Actually, only half of us are humans. Star, Trainwreck, and I are pure Mons, and Mia's...a hybrid. She looks the same here as back home. I suppose she's like you."

-She places a hand on her chin thoughtfully.-

Lyra: "Though Trainwreck and I are humanoid, I suppose."

Malie City

Cun Annwn: <Okay, so - let's go around the group. Why is everyone here today?>

-Rio crosses her wings and leans back.-

Azurill: <I-I-I... I'm sorry, I'm not good at talking in a group... I-I-I-I'm here t-t-to h-help...>

-Cun nods sagely while Rio rolls her eyes.-

Shroomish: <I got lots of aggression. Everyone kicked me out.>

-Cun nods, a bit more slowly.-

Happiny: <Dear kindly Judge, your honor, my parents treat me rough~>

-Cun stops nodding.-

Pancham: <You're the coolest guy in the world! You save my family, and I want to help!>

-Cun tries to hide his tail wagging, and fails miserably.-

Cun Annwn: <Eh, hehehe...>

-Rio sighs.-

Ralts: <Aw, the Stoutland's gonna get embarrassed! His tail's gonna wag~>

-Everyone turns to look at the strange psychic fairy.-

Rio: <Uh, that already happened.>

-Cun tilts his head as a pair of yellow streaks fall out of the sky to land right on top of him.-

Cun Annwn: <OOF!>

-A two pairs of yellow ears pop out of the fur, one tipped with blue and one tipped with red.-

Minun: <Sorry!>

Plusle: <Our bad!>

-A Pelliper flies off, having delivered it's cargo.-

Ralts: <Watch out! A couple of Pokemon are going to fall on you!>

Cun Annwn: <... Oh. So that's what Satele meant.>

Training Deck

-Dave and Mia are just watching-

Abandoned Thrify Megamart

-Mysteriously, Acerola is nowhere to be found-

-There is a conveyor belt moving by itself though...-

Ula'ula Meadow

-Locke is here-

edited 30th Jul '17 7:06:28 PM by Umbramatic

-Shaun, accompanied by two vulpines on his shoulders, is looking for Locke.-

For real this time.

Shaun: "Huh. I've suddenly been overwhelmed by a feeling of déjà vu."

Jessica: <Have you been in this place before?>

Jamie: <Is that a joke?>

-Shaun cups his hands around his mouth.-

Shaun: "Yo Locke, you here?"

Ula Ula Meadow

-Locke waves-

-He has Kurow with him-

-Shaun walks over.-

Shaun: "Hey man. Whatchya doing here?"

no that's not a Phineas&Ferb reference

Ula Ula Meadow

Locke: Lookng for the Lake of the Moone. Or Sunme. Either way.

Kurow: <If it's anything like the Shrines mabye we can use it to get to Locke's 'rents! And the other dudes.>

Cobalt Chaser

Alyesha: "Ah, sorry for assuming." ;^_^

She scratched her head

Alyesha: "Speaking off, do you think we will stay like this when we get back? Or all morph to humans or normal Pokémon? Or just to whatever we were when we came?"

Shaun: "Well, great minds think alike. I was planning on heading there and wanted to see if you wanted to come along for those same reasons."

Lyra: "Since we changed coming here, I imagine we'd change going back. Though this body is admittedly nice."

"Still got this massive tail though."

Ula Ula Meadow

-Locke nods-

Locke: Sounds good!

-Jessica and Jamie hop down as Shaun reaches into his backpack and withdraws a thick atlas.-

Shaun: "The lake should be...this way. Let's be off!"

-He reshoulders his pack and heads off witb his Vulpixes at his heels and Locke presumably at his side.-

Ula Ula Meadow

-Locke indeed follows, as does Kurow-

-They eventually arrive.-

Shaun: "Huh. This place has a very ruin-y feel to it."

Jessca: <See any Garchomps or Golbats?>

Jamie: <Huh?>

Shaun: "Right, you weren't there. I'll tell you later."

Have a spagpost written with Zeal!

-Sholto is going about his business when his ball begins vibrating-

Sholto: <Oh! Uh…>

-He retreats under a desk and goes into his ball-

Sholto: <Oh, hey! What's up?>

Zeal: Hey! Um… It's been a while? How are you?

Sholto: <Oh, pretty alright. Been getting used to things here, Tsubasa's probably going to be starting school soon.>

Zeal: Oh, cool!

-He pauses.-

Wait, remind me where "here" is, again? I've forgotten.

Sholto: <Oh, uh, Capim Town. We were originally just going to be here to plan the wedding, but then we ended up needing to get a house and decided we might as well stay here because we didn't know where else we'd live except maybe somewhere in Lavender.>

Zeal: Riiiight. I've never been to another universe! As far as I can remember, anyway.

Sholto: <Oh, well, hopefully you get the chance with our wedding and such in a few months!>

Zeal: Hopefully! Ooh, would I get to be a Tirtouga again? Are there any good places to swim?

Sholto: <Oh, yeah, you would be. And there are pools set up around here for water Pokemon to live in. We've got a kinda nice community of them despite living in tree stumps, really.>

Zeal: Tree stumps. With pools. I have never experienced swimming in a place like that.

Sholto: <Well, looking forward to you getting the chance!>

<Ah, anyway, did you want to catch up or something else too?>

Zeal: Oh, right, yeah.

-He relays what happened at the warehouse and the story Gui told him.-

Sholto: <Oh… wow… that sounded like a thing…>

<And aw… friendships falling apart is indeed sad… But, what's this about. Did Pizzicato get kidnapped by this person or something?>

Zeal: Actually…

Sholto: <...Actually?>

Zeal: Gui's guess just doesn't make sense to me. If the person in the mask was a partner of the poacher/bounty hunter/trafficker/whatever from back then…

Well, for one, how would she know Gui's name? Two, how would she have tracked Gui down to us and how would she know what her human disguise is like? Three, why would she have a big enough grudge from that single incident years ago, where the two didn't even really meet, to be putting all her energy into tracking her down now? Four, why wouldn't she have shown herself back then, anyway? Done more to help her partner?

She can't be related to that hunter guy, y'know? So the question becomes who else could she be? It'd have to be someone who knows Gui's name and disguise and has a real history with her. And, well, on top of everything, the masked woman was a psychic… I feel like there's a good chance she's Pizzicato herself.

-After it looks like Zeal is done ranting, Sholto mutters something-

Sholto: <I… wow.>

<I… that might make some amount of sense, as twisted as it might be.>

<But, I guess then the question would be why. Why would she, after experiencing that, want to inflict it on someone else, particularly her old friend? Could she resent her that much?...>

Zeal: I don't have any idea. I don't know what's happened between them. And I don't want to bring up the possibility with Gui because I'm scared it'll make her do something rash.

Sholto: <Hrm, maybe you could ask her for more info? Or I could try seeing if I can find out anything about Pizzicato myself?>

<At any rate, I guess if we're trying to avoid someone doing something rash, if you end up trying to plan anything, tell me so you don't rush into something potentially dangerous?>

Zeal: I'd say yes, but you know me… We'll see. I will if I remember you saying this.

Sholto: <Hmmm… Alright, fair.>

<Though, admittedly, you saying that made me wonder what would happen if Zach came back for whatever reason and tried doing something rash then.>

Zeal: I wouldn't know. It's been years now. Plus it's not like I can remember anything from when he took over.

Sholto: <Fair enough. I guess all I remember is stuff I heard about how he fell off a building or something for a trust exercise with Jacob and something with suddenly attempting to shoot one of the officers working with Jacob's thing.>

Zeal: Um… yeah. Stuff like that definitely happened. But I don't know the details beyond what I was told.

Sholto: <Yeah, same. I don't think I ever actually met Zach or Red-E- ...Wait, there was that time in Humilau Gym. But ah well, at any rate, when I get a chance to I'll see what I can find out about Pizzicato. Say if you find anything out or something else comes up?>

Zeal: Will do. Good luck with the wedding and everything!

Sholto: <Thanks! Talk to you later!>

-He hangs up and gets out of his ball-

Sholto: <Whew… hopefully me being gone a while won't cause too much of a thing.>

<Well, I've gone for random periods of time for helping Gogie and they haven't minded too much, so…>

<Will just need to think of a good time to do so…>

Lake of the Sunne and Moone

-Locke shudders-

Kurow: <Something wrong, Locke?>

Locke: This place makes me feel weird...

-Both may hear familiar humming up ahead.-

Cobalt Chaser, Target Range

'Alyesha: "Huh... well I suppose so, heh I have to admit though, being a Kabuto feels nice, I do wonder though what Matvey would think" XD

Shaun: "That sound...hear it?"

-He pauses and listens intently.-

Lake of the Sunne and Moone

Locke: Wait a minute... I know who that is!

-he rushes deeper into the temple on the lake-

Shaun: "Hey, wait up!"

-He runs after Locke.-

-A man in a black sleeveless coat and a cap walks around the crater. He soon opens a strange device on his wrist to communicate with a strange man in a white lab coat on the screen.-

Man in black coat: The site of emergence is huge, that's for sure.

Man in white coat: The wormhole energy reading is off the chart too! Be careful, some of the radiation may rub on you.

Man in black coat: Well then, that means more UB for me.

Man in white coat: And more trouble for us, it's not a good outcome. Now, is there anything else other than a crater there?

Man in black coat: No, just a giant crater that not even the ocean can fil-

-The man in black coat stops talking and looks at a black shining shard inside the crater-

Man in black coat: There's something in the crater, I'm gonna go see what it is.

Man in white coat: Krieg, wait!

-Krieg grabs a Luxury ball from his belt and sends out a Midnight Lyncanroc-

Krieg: Lyn, Rock climb!

Lyn:<Feh, you're not gonna stand on my back, are you?>

-Lyn's claws turn white and extend as he starts to slide down the mountain. Krieg jumps on to his back as they safely make it to the bottom of the crater. Lyn growls in pain.-

Lyn:<Man! I hoped you wouldn't do that! By the way, did you gain weight?>

-Krieg kneels down and picks up the black shiny shard into a container. Upon closer inspection, it resembled a scale.... or a tooth. Krieg grabs another Luxury ball from his belt and sends out a pink Crobat-

Krieg: Cro. Go to the Aether foundation, and give them this.

Cro:<As you wish....>

-Cro snatches the container from Krieg's hand and flies away. Krieg opens up the device again.-

Krieg: I found something, probably a fragment of the Ultra Beast. I'm sending Cro to the Aether Paradise with the fragment.

Man in white coat: Krieg, listen to me! I told you time and time again to take caution when handling anything related to the U Bs! You can't just jump in and expect to be fine all the time! These U Bs are dangerous, we don't even know what they are fully capable of, much less a fragment of them!

Krieg: It's fine, I know what I'm doing. Besides, you paid me to investigate, not to be one of your grunts. So, what do you want me to do now?

-The man in white coat sighs like a parent disappointed in their kid-

Man in white coat: For now, we want you to get some more information about the UB that appeared there.

Krieg: Got it. I'll inform you if I find anything interesting.

-Krieg closes the device and looks at Lyn-

Krieg: Come on, Lyn. One more Rock climb.

-Lyn looks at Krieg with a disbelieving look.-

Lyn:<It's only been 5 days since I met you, and I can already tell you that you are the devil.>

-Lyn lets out a growl before withstanding Krieg on his back and climbs back up the crater.-

-Rose narrows her eyes, looking around, then looks through her phone camera at the conveyor belt and snaps a picture-
