ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-A warning pops up on Lyra's computer, informing her that she has only one raligun round left.-

Lyra: "Just die already!"

Shaun: <You don't say?>

-Tsunami bops him on the head.-

Tsunami: <I can do that now.>

Capim Town

Kan'al'colel: Fine, fine. I'm a bit agitated, there's something trying to pull me somewhere but I can't quite tell what or where. It's a familiar feeling...

-The ring vaguely tugs in the direction of the white Vulpix-

-As they're pounced on, Kaito swiftly flips Alli over and back onto her feet in front of them.-

Kaito: <Haha, there you are! Missed you!>

Diane: <I know, right? Even moreso after being gone for so long. Remind me to visit my parents in Treasure Town after this.>

Skye: <Don't forget to visit your parents after this.>

Diane: <I— >

-Diane stops and gives Skye a look. If Skarmory were physically capable of smirking, Skye would be smirking.-

Malie City

Around this time, all of Colton's Pokemon that wanted a Malasada got one, those taking a spicy one getting a cup of milk. "Meh, I'll have this one later." The human decided, stuffing the bitter malasada in question into his pocket as he left the center.

He exited the center and saw some U.F.O. - the actual definition, as in he didn't know what it was - that looked more like the flying saucer people think of when they hear "U.F.O" at what he estimated to be the south edge of the island. Hastily gathering his things, he pursued the U.F.O in its general direc-

OH MY GOODNESS IT'S SO HOT! He thought the same frame he got on the southern route. He continued his brisk walk towards the U.F.O's general direction.

Blitz: ''I'm not sure whether it's more disappointing that I missed, or that alert mode apparently means everyone goes into hiding instead of doing anything to catch us.''

-Nods at Elizabeth- "Yeah, I thought I felt something"

At least we don't have to deal with the moral conundrum of fighting brainwashed victims

-Blitz rushes toward the ping, glad not to have the cleats to help with traction-

Capim Town

-Gudrunn notices the tug and approaches the Alolan Vulpix-

Houndour!Gudrunn: <Er, hello there.>

Persian!Alli: <Missed you too!>

Munna!Neon: <Is this your sibling, Alli?>

Alli: <Yep! They're pretty great!>

Bronzor: <Pleasure to meet you... Er, what's your name?>

-An Alolan Muk wearing white gloves and a jeweled headband approaches-

Botox: <There you all are! Enjoying high society?>

Dross Depths

-Everyone fires manically at the skull/brain-

Poochena!Dave: <Now that is just freaky.>

-Lisa gives a slight snerk-

Lisa: <Well, I suppose she covered that already, didn't she?>

Tapu Village

"I dunno! I- What The Fuck is that" Alana pretty quickly shifts gears when she notices the UFO.

~I'm fairly sure that's a UFO.~

"I could gather but what is it doing here ???"

Dross Tunnels Side B

Star makes a face◊.

".. Gross. It's almost enough to make me want to stop firing. Almost."

Tapu Village

Keithbin: Well what do you mea- AAAAAAH ALIEN INVASION

Sam: <...Zilty is that you?>

Capim Town

-The Vulpix does the Vulpix equivalent of raising an eyebrow.-

Alolan Vulpix: <Hello. You're here for the wedding, I'm guessing?>

-Kan'al'colel goes quiet, seemingly racking their currently-metaphorical brain.-

Kaito: <Name's Kaito. And, uh, I don't... actually know if you'd consider the Frontier "high society"?>

Diane: <I can't believe it. I've been played. Japed, even.>

Skye: <I only provide the finest japes. But seriously, I'll remind you when the time comes.>

Diane: <Thank you~> ❤️

-Skye gives Diane a loving birb nuzzle-

-Lisa smiles-

Lisa: <Well, at any rate, things should be getting set up fine. Edge is... more restrained than I was giving him credit for, thankfully.>

Ziltoid looked over the freaking out humans, ~Okay calm down! I'm not here to invade! If I was, you'd already be crushed, I wouldn't be here, I'd be on a throne. My drones would be everywhere. And your World leaders would have more pranks played on them.~

He started to chuckle, ~I got a great one planned for the Unovan President! It involves a bucket of water, high level stuff it's hilarious!~

Ziltoid then turned to Sam, ~Sam?! What by the Probe are you doing here? Why am I always crossing paths with you?!

Tapu Village

Around this time, Colton - having said "screw it" and continuing his dash - made his way to where Ziltoid was.

Oh, hey! I don't think I've ever seen a Beeheeyem before! He thought to himself. He put on his game face and approached the Psychic-type's gathering. Looks like I'm not alone in my curiosity...

Tapu Village

"What're they saying" Alana whispers to Maria. An unnecessary gesture, considering they could probably just communicate mentally.

~Something about pranks and presidents. And drones.~

"Oh, so it's not anything shocking."

~...~

Capim Town

Daydre is wandering around, looking for people she knows.

... Wait had she ever actually seen a lot of these people in Pokeform?

Oh no

Tapu Village

Keithbin: ...Yeah, I agree, nothing too drastic. But why are you here, Beeheyem?

Sam: <Zilty, it is you! Wanna go grab some coffee?>

Keithbin: ...And how do you know him?

Capin Town

Gudrunn: <Yes, I am! Are the bride and/or groom friends of yours?>

-to Kan'al

Anything yet?

Botox: <That wasn't what what I was talking about, but it does sound intresting!>

Munna!Neon: <What's the Frontier like?>

Ziltoid looked at Robin, ~MY NAME IS ZILTOID THE OMNISCIENT! ZILTOID FOR SHORT! AS FOR HOW I KNOW YOUR ASSOCIATE! WE WORKED TOGETHER LONG AGO ONCE. IT INVOLVED A LOT OF COFFEE. SPEAKING OF WHICH!~

Ziltoid turned towards the pokecenter and helder up a large gold nugget ~I FINALLY HAVE COMPENSATION WITH WHICH TO PURCHASE THE BEVERAGE!~

Ziltoid looked over at Maria and Alana, ~DOES SHE NOT HEAR MY PSYCHIC BROADCASTS?! I AM MAKING MYSELF LOUD AND CLEAR! PERHAPS A GUITAR SOLO WOULD WORK BETTER!~

 Capim Town 

-Still following behind Sholto-

Ann: -Is in Leafeon form, wearning a light blue scarf- <This walk sure is taking a while, huh?>

Muddy: <Is this normal Doc, you said you actually visited this place before.>

Doc: <It can be a little meandering sometimes.>

<Kinda reminds me of Fortree now that I think about it.>

-Daydre may see, or possibly smell, a certain group while she's looking around-

Tapu Village

"Can someone please explain to me what he is trying to get across?" Colton interjected.

Capim Town

Alolan Vulpix: <...Arguably. "Associates" is likely more accurate, all things considered.>

Kan'al'colel: Nothing. I can't even pick up her Aura, and not even because I only have a fraction of a percent of my power by being a piece of jewelry. I feel like she's... hiding something important.

Diane: <Oh hey, Edge is here! I remember Edge. He's fun.>

Skye: <Wonder if Ellen came as well.>

Kaito: -sweatdrop- <Right, right. Well, it's certainly a lot different from the J-Team adventuring lifestyle. It's... almost like a sort of performance? Like if Pokemon battles were given the same grandeur as you'd get in a theatre.>

Tapu Village

~He's broadcasting really loudly. Frankly, it's very annoying. Can't you hear that?~

"Oh, I can. I guess I just forgot to listen."

~.. You.. forgot. I don't think that's how that works.~

Alana waves at Ziltoid.

Capim Town

Daydre does, in fact, notice the group. Something about them pings as familiar, and is that Sholto she sees up ahead?

<Oh hey guys let's follow them they look like they know where they're going>

Rowan: <Are they going to the wedding?>

<Uhhh probably, I think I saw Sholto up ahead let's just go>

Rowan: <Wait, shouldn't we->

Daydre is already walking away. Rowan sighs and motions for the rest of the group to follow.

Oh, so I should be able to hear him?

Reyn Fort - Third Floor

-Pent breathes a little bit of a sigh of relief at the peoplemons just fleeing and looks around for a suitable shadow to wreath himself in to catch up to the action-

-Unfortunately, it turns out an ice palace with glowing moss lighting at every turn does not particularly have good harsh shadows to use-

-So instead, Pent tries to swiftly run to the proper way into the throne room-

Tapu Village

Colton removed his headphones, which he had put on to disregard his fatigue.

Now catching up to him, he bit into the malasada as a bit of a self-reward. Oh, there's the problem, he realized as he draped his headphones behind his neck. He thought back over what he heard almost subliminally under that ditty about how someone was quirky but still loved someone.

"Oh, he just has a debt to a barista. Strange."

Sholto: <Oh, yeah, it is a lot like Fortree, from what I've seen of Fortree.>

<Oh, heya, Daydre.>

Lisa: <Not certain, really.>

Admittedly I don't know if I know the name, but...

 Capim Town 

-To Sholto-

<Makes sense that you'd make your home here then, since you and Lisa are birds.>

Ann: -Ears twitch- <Are we being followed?>

-Looking behind-

<Yeah, but it's just-

-Aura Sense-

<-Daydre and her mons.>

-Waves-

Tapu Village

Keithbin: You know this guy because he's obsessed with coffee.

Sam: <Ol' Zilty loves his joe! Ah, I met him during the Great Coffee Heist when I was still a Noibat, good times, good times...>

Capim Town

Houndour!Gudrunn: <Acquainted how so?>

Should we just keep tabs on her? This feels... Weird.

Botox: <Sounds marvelous!>

Bronzor: <Intriguing, at least.>

Munna!Neon: <So your Pokemon are all kinda battling to put on a show?>
