ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Tapu Village

Kaisei: <Oh, uh... head in that way.>

-He indicates the Center-

Sholto: -to Robin- "Oh, they wanted to be Pokémon, so I made one of them a weremon and changed the other for a night."

And so they went to the center.

The Joy running the place was a little too tired to care about 3 Pokemon dashing for the PC for no reason, but the disks in the Lucario's hand betrayed something.

<Let's try Swords Dance first.> Lucario decided. So he popped TM 75 into the PC, set the remaining disks next to his trainer, and left Colton to his devices for the next few minutes.

Krieg: We need to go asap. Also, do you accurately understand what pokemons say?

-Lyn comes back, frantic-

Lyn: <Asshole, Jelly-shit found about 37m, 45 degrees to the right!>

-Lyn uses hand gestures to beckon Krieg and Leeya and points to the direction of Nihilego>

Lyn: <Come quick, it ain't looking good!>

-Lyn notices Sunny and Butterscotch-

Lyn: <Who the hell are you people?>

Tapu Village

Keithbin: Wait, who's the weremon?

Gible!Archer: -has crawled on Keith!Robin's shoulder- <Me! By the way Kaisei my mon the Rage and Double Edge T Ms worked fine!>

Mona: -looking through the Pokecenter window- <He's using the T Ms via computer? I mean, it works, especially for more visual learners, but it's... grossly inefficient compared to "apply TM to forehead"?>

-Gudrunn inspects one of the T Ms herself curiously-

Haina Desert

Leeya: Hi Lyn!

-to Kreig- Yeah, I can understand Pokemon.

Krieg: Well we can go into details later. Right now, follow Lyn!

-Krieg runs to Lyn as Lyn shows the way-

<I figure he wouldn't think that applying the TM to his forehead would work.> Lucario explained, filtering his speech through Aura for translation.

<To put it simply, his forehead has taken a lot of abuse over the years. It wouldn't get past a literally thick skull.

<And yes, he does learn visually. And by doing.>

Sunny: <I'm here to save Piano!>

Butterscotch: <I'm... just this guy, you know. Anyway, let's go.>

-they run off in the direction of Lyn-

Tapu Village

Sholto: <I'm pretty kinesthetic, so I get the doing end, yeah.>

<Double points to him literally taking it to the forehead and nothing happening after,> Sylveon chimed. <Quadruple for the type disadvantage.>

Tapu Village

Mona: <Literal thick skull problem, got it. And ouch.>

Haina Desert

-Leeya and Argon head after Lyn-

-Krieg and the crew reaches the Nihilego and Mezzo-

Krieg: Wait, that's the girl I asked about the recent UB incident! Oh no... is it trying to do what I think it's trying to do?

-Krieg opens his comm-

Krieg: We found the Nihilego. You may want to look at this.....

Man in White: Show me....

-Krieg press a button. The expression on tue Man in White is genuine fear and shock.-

Man in White: Is that-

Krieg: It's trying to assimilate. Just like Lusamine

Man in White: Shit.... This ain't good, not good at all!

Krieg: I only know that assimilation with Nihilego is another word for shit gone south. You never explained to me why.

Man in White: .... I'll only tell you since it's urgent: Prolonged assimilation with a Nihilego will lead to corruption amd poisoning. And if assimilated long enough, the host will die from poisoning. There is a reason why we classified it as a Parasite. Get it off her quick!

Lyn:<Right, now my job's done. I ain't going near that thing.>

Krieg: Lyn, Brick Break now!

Lyn:<Wait a minute you little shit that's not what you promised me>

-the Nihilego is hit and pushed back some, but still clings to Mezzo's body-

Nihilego: ≈☣▼√♦♠§

-Mezzo opens her eyes in response-

Mezzo: Troublesome pest. I don't recall inviting you here. As you can see, ☣♪☼•é and I are busy at the moment, so we don't need the likes of you around.

Butterscotch: <Seriously, how do you do the sounds?>

-she throws out a Pokeball, and a Malamar appears-

Mezzo: Get them.

Xel'lotath: <As you wish. We welcome your descent into madness.>

-the Nihilego absorbs Mezzo into itself, and it radiates a wave of energy-

Xel'lotath: <Unexpected. No matter.>

-she charges at Lyn with a full-force rush-

Haina Desert

Leeya: Fascinating! Argon, Thunderbolt the Malimar!

-Argon meeps at the fused Mezzo and does so-

-Krieg sends out Cro-

Krieg: Cro, Leech Life the Malamar. Suck it dry!

Cro:Ugh, fine....

-Cro's fangs turn green, before flying towards Malamar in a wild fashion, and attempts to strike. Meanwhile, Krieg approaches Nihilego carefully.-

Krieg:Ahem. how did I do it... ♦♠§∅€¥¤æ¤¶?ë!

-as the glow fades, the merging is complete; Mezzo is now completely submerged within the Nihilego, which has now grown much larger to accommodate her, and grown several more tentacles-

♀☣→→♠: How rude. Darling, would you deal with him?

☣♪☼•é: ♂☣☣▓é☣

-the Mezzo/Nihilego fusion slaps Krieg across the face with the nearest tentacle-

-Xel'lotath is zapped by a Thunderbolt, then bitten by leeching fangs; she just barely manages to avoid being knocked out due to her boosted defense-

Xel'lotath: <That actually hurt me... But we will not let it stop us.>

-she responds by throwing three blades of Psychic energy at Cro-

Haina Desert

Leeya: Even more fascinating! Argon, finish off the Malimar, I'll get in close!

-Argon fires a Signal Beam while Leeya gets up close, activates a cannon on her armor's fiorearm, and fires an energy pulse at the fusion-

edited 4th Aug '17 5:53:51 PM by Umbramatic

Krieg: Cro, Double Team!

Cro: <Shit!>

-8 images of Cro forms. however as the Psychic blades hit, only 6 Cro remains-

Krieg: Shits going south re~al quick. Old buddy, I think it's time to show who's scarier, a jelly fish, or a living shadow!

-Krieg throws down a Luxury ball. Instead of light, darkness emerges. The darkness turns to shadows, then forms into a figure.-

Gen: <I don't know who you are, or why you made Krieg send me out. What I do know is that I have experience in a certain aspect you don't. Experience in FUCKING THE LIKES OF YOU OVER MORE THAN YOU EXPECT!>

-Xel'lotath is hit by the Signal Beam and collapses into the sand-

-Mezzo is then knocked around by the cannon blast, but stays in the jellyfish's clutches-

-as Gen is sent out, Mezzo laughs maniacally-

♀☣→→♠: Oh, this is rich. That's your idea of intimidation? A Ghost type?

Xel'lotath: <It was worth it... to hear the melodic sound of insane laughter.>

-Xel'lotath is recalled, and Mezzo sends out a Houndoom and Hydreigon in her place-

♀☣→→♠: Ladies, would you show our guest here what we do to Ghost types?

Charybdis: <It would be my pleasure.> -mashes her hand-heads together-

Cerberus: <Ooo, fire!>

-Charybdis sends a Dark Pulse straight at Gen, while Cerberus launches a Fire Blast toward Argon-

edited 4th Aug '17 6:27:40 PM by Mezzopiano

-Before Krieg can say anything, Gen blends into the shadow and effortlessly dodges the attack-

Krieg: If it's one Pokemon that can read my mind as clear as day, it's Gen.

-From behind Hydreigon and Houndoom and envelopes itself in itself in rainbow light before emitting rays at the respective Dark-type pokemons

Krieg: You see, simple minded people always believe dark type will wreck Gen. Well. It's that assumption do they fail to realize that for the last 14 years Gen was eating Dark type Pokemon for breakfast! And with Gen being a master in special attacks, it was your mistake to assume Gen would go down that easily!

-both Dark mons are hit by the Dazzling Gleam; Cerberus shakes it off, while Charybdis takes the full brunt of the attack-

-however, it seems to only make her angrier-

☣♪☼•é: ♫∞éé

♀☣→→♠: Make them pay!

Charybdis: <You think your little lights will defeat me? ME? I'LL SHOW YOU YOUR PLACE, WORM!>

-she charges up a ball of Draconic energy between all three heads-

Charybdis: <DIE!>

-then releases it to the heavens, where it becomes a storm of meteors falling toward Gen-

 Haina Desert 

-From the back-

Sorry we're late!

Muddy: -Attacks Cerberus from the side with Brick Break-

Helios: -Attacks Charybdis from above with a Bug Buzz-

Ali: -From the sidelines- <Can we even fight these guys?>

Pici: <It does seem like we've been doing a lot of sitting on the side while Helios and Muddy do everything as of late...>

Legion: -Eyes glowing- <Yeah, well, I'm tired of it!>

-As she obtains her School form, the Wishiwashi then sends an Ice Beam at Charybdis-

Pici: -Watching Legion- <Ali?>

Ali: <Yeah, I'm coming!>

-Both mons attempt Brick Breaks of their own on Cerberus-

Tyto: <Don't count a mighty hunter like me out!>

Nature Power!

Tyto: -Sends energy from the earth into Cerberus-

Tapu Village — This Morning

Rose: Great. Just great! I fucked it up. I can't tell her I used to be a criminal after that! "I'm in love with you." "Oh by the way I mindraped a volcano god and committed numerous other acts of terror in a previous life." I can't do that!

Nora: <I mean, that is kinda the worst possible way you could word it.>

Rose: That was for emphasis. No matter how I say it, I'm gonna ruin things with her!

Nora: <Uh-huh. Well, you can always try again when she's not still in the "giddy lovestruck" phase. Besides, you've got a girlfriend now, that's a plus, right?>

Rose: I... I guess?

Nora: <Rose Middle-Name Jaide, what in the world do you mean, you guess? You weren't lying to her, were you? I'm appalled!>

Rose: I don't know, I panicked! I needed an excuse to not say the Cipher thing, that was the first thing that came to mind, I don't even know if I'm not straight but I do definitely like her in some way but I don't know what way—

-She stops-

Rose: Dear god, this is going to be complicated when I inevitably talk to Verax.

Nora: <Focus on that after you've figured out this whole mess. I can't help you there anyway. Now, if you need date advice, trust me, I'm the girl to go to for that.>

Rose: Have you ever been on a date in your life? When I found you, you were a Pichu stealing pancakes from a shopping mall.

Nora: <Shhhhh, unnecessary details.>

Haina Desert — Now

-Vierr stumbles after Tagg, and stares at the Nihilezzo amalgam.-

Vierr: ...Uh, quick question. What the actual fuck?

-He just stares for a moment before snapping back into focus and sending out Henry-

Vierr: Whatever. What is that thing, Psychic-type? Ghost-type? I feel like weird space jellyfish are probably one of those two. Henry, hit it with a Feint Attack!

Henry: <Ooh, horrific fusion! Love that.>

-He flies past Mezzo's Pokemon and attacks the jellyfish containing Mezzo

Poni Island Seafloor

Amanita: Hey, do you ever feel like you're missing something important?

Brie: Uh, kinda. Why?

Ever: We did this bit already.

Amanita: Oh, you did? Never mind then.

Brie: So where's this grotto supposed to be?

Ever: Uh, according to the incredibly vague flashback which I only heard about secondhand? Right here.

-he taps a crevice in the rock-

Brie: Doesn't look so impressive.

Amanita: Well, it was sealed until all three branches of the family showed up, right? So now that we're here—

-as if by cue, the rock warps, and suddenly there's a long tunnel in front of the three-

Amanita: Wh-what.

Ever: ...Magic?

Brie: Magic isn't real.

Ever: Yeah it is.

Amanita: No it isn't.

Ever: Didn't we turn you into a Zubat once?

Amanita: That was an alternate dimension.

Brie: What?

Ever: You believe in alternate dimensions but not magic?

Amanita: Um, there's proof positive of alternate dimensions, being as we were in one.

Brie: What?

Ever: No we weren't. That was obviously a hallucination brought on by some sort of magical effect created by the Entralink tree. Like the Dream World.

Amanita: I am absolutely certain that's not how it works.

Ever: I am absolutely certain it is.

Amanita: Seriously?

Ever: No, not really. But magic is, like, objectively real. Case in point.

-he gestures at the tunnel-

Amanita: ...I guess I'm going to have to take your word for it, huh.

Ever: Yep. So, in we go?

Amanita: I guess.

-the two enter the tunnel-

Brie: You know they always said cave diving was dangerous...

Ever: Only if you don't have a Dive bubble.

Haina Desert

Leeya: Fire into the Hydregion's mouths!

-Argon does so-

-Cue Tagg and Vierr-

Leeya: Hi there!

-Eyebrow raise at Vierr-

You look familiar... I'll talk to you later.

-She activates something on her armor, causing everything but her pauldrons to shrink down; her pauldrons then combine into a pesudo-Morph Ball-

-She then rolls around flinging plasma grenades at the Mezzo/Nihilego fusion and her mons-

-Gen, instead of being shocked or scared, only smiles more.-

Krieg: Lyn, Take the Draco Meteor!

-Lyn steps in as a human Pokemon shield and takes the Draco Meteor. Lyn's still standing, and smiling.-

Lyn: <I only trust my trainer's judgment, if it's battling!>

Gen:<What about the likes of you, you three headed shit? You think you're great because you're a pseudo legendary? Well news flash, you're nothing more than a three headed foolish shit compared to me!>

Krieg: Hey there you, you draconic little shit. I hope you can take more than what you just dished out. Lyn, Reversal!

-Lyn smiles like a psychopath as he charges at the Hydreigon with the force and power greater than the Draco meteor. Meanwhile, behind Lyn, Gen charges a white light in his mouth before firing it out at the Hydreigon like Shin Godzilla's Atomic Breath.-

-Krieg looks towards Vierr and Tagg-

Krieg: And why the fuck are you people here?
