ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Malie Beach

Gabe: -shrugs- I was looking for the J-Team. And a guy named Mason.

Malie Beach

Ever: I'm Ever, I'm here, I don't buy stock in faerie properties, and peculiar goth guy, you have technically found them. -he waves- No word on anybody named Mason. I can get you a deal on people named Every though. Two for one special. Arguably three for one; I have an alternate universe counterpart hanging around Tapu Village.

Phoenix:...alternate universe counterpart?

Lawrence: <This is sounding more and more like a fever dream every minute...>

Akala Island

<I think he's on the ropes!> 9-Volt announced to his trainer as he then just nuked the Gigalith to kingdom come.

Malie Beach

-Queenie sat up at the mention of J-Team, pulling the beanie off of her face like a sticker and letting some of the icecream drip off.-

Queenie: Oh, I'm part of the J-Team. I have no idea where anyone else is, though. Except Super Nerd. He's doing some study program on an island.

-She stood up and brushed the sand off of her dress, reaching into a pocket to pull out a handkerchief to wipe her face.-

Phoenix: J-team, huh? I mighta heard of you guys... Hey! Were you the people who won Unova's Got Talent last year?

Lawrence: <I don't think that's who they are...>

Akala

-The Gigalith goes down.-

-Olivia sends out a Mudnight Lycanroc, who snickers and drops a Rock Slide-

Malie Beach

Gabe: -to Ever- Oh cool!

-To Phoenix- Apparently they're these super-awesome Trainers who do super-awesome stuff!

Malie Beach

Ever: (to Phoenix) Well, I sent in my audition tape but they never called me back.

(to Gabe) I wouldn't say I've really done anything "Super awesome".

I prefer the term "Awesometastic."

Muninn: <Die.>

Ever: You tried that.

Phoenix: Oh, I remember now!

Lawrence: <Finally.>

Phoenix: They were on the news one day! Weren't they banned from every single hotel in Hoenn?

Akala Island

"<Ah, sunnuva->" Trainer and spider were both interrupted with the cascade of rocks coming down.

"One left for us both," the Unovan tallied. The kid contemplated his options, deciding on shuffling between one of each ball - Poke, Great and Ultra.

He didn't look at the 'ball that was thrown forwards, but he knew from the texture.

"Nothing personal," he apologized as his Samurott landed in front of him. "Waterfall!"

With no warning, the Formidable Pokemon dove for the Rock-type, seamitar unsheathed.

Malie Beach

-Queenie glanced to the Phoenix guy who brought up the mention of the Hoenn Hotel incident.-

Queen: ...Wow. I wasn't even in Hoenn and that makes me embarrassed.

-Glances over to the other two folks, nodding to them.-

Queen: But yes, the J-Team does do many a fantastic thing. It was a moment of high honor to be asked to join them, and I take my position with great pride!

-She then proceeds to pose as if on stage.-

Phoenix: How does one join this J-Team?

Lawrence: <Please no, we have a well-paying job, there's no need to->

Phoenix: I really wanna join it all of a sudden!

Lawrence: <WHY>

Carol shook his hand with a smile, "Well Teddie. It's always great to have more people be a part of the project. These two are my Porygons, Ada and Rusty."

"Hello there, a pleasure to meet you," "Don't worry too much, we're a stable place."

"Let's hope you don't meet Ares, or his "brother" Volt. They are bit of odballs, and Ares is a bit of a misanthrope," Carol added, Ada nodded, "Alright then, we have plenty to see on the tour, what would you like to see first? Training grounds? Labs? the Factory? Our dormitories?"

The Centurion leaped after Pent as Zachary went scampering after Amelia and Colton. Jester made a frown, it looked like a jack o lantern zagged mouth. "I good sir did not crawl out of a hole in the group. In fact from where I'm currently trapped, I get to see your beautiful blue world! I have to say you have something good, I can't wait to see it again."

Sam blinked, "again?"

"Oh yes, I was sealed away long ago, but I can feel it weakening. Already my old toys are waking up, the Hyule thought I would stay locked away forever. But I'll be back... Wow is this what villain monologging is like? No wonder they do it so much!"

Pokeworld Studio-

"ARCEUS' UNHOLY FLANK!" Colton hollered as he made his attempt to evade Zachary. "Is Jester behind this inexplicable malice?" He asked aloud. He reconsidered all attempts to harm, or even if Jester was corporeal.

SN nodded to both of the Porygon's, smiling softly. "Pleasure to meet all of you...and I'm glad. Stable is nice." In truth, though he admired the chaotic nature of science and discovery, the unknown absolutely terrified him.

It was good to have a sense of stability.

His hands reached up to fiddle with his glasses as he listened to his greeter speak, sparking to life at a particular part of her question. "Oh! Well, uhm...the Laboratory if that's not too much trouble. I want to start my research immediately, if that's possible." The boy dressed as a grandpa was clearly the eager type.

"Who else? Alan wanted his creatures to be more lively. I figured why not give him what he wants!"

"Of course. You'll start off with everyone else of course, but work hard enough and your own workspace is in the cards," Carol said. Ada and Rusty lifted themselves onto a cart, and Carol stepped into the Driver's seat, "Hop on in."

Abandoned Thrifty Megamart

*Knock knock knock*

-The Totem Mimikyu stays still and quiet on the other side of the door.-

*Knock knock knock*

-The Totem Mimikyu remains resolute.-

Doomsday: <This isn't working.>

Ludmilla: It doesn't HAVE to work, it just has to irritate.

Polydamas: <WHY AM I HERE AGAIN?!>

Ludmilla: Oh, you'll see.

Twenty Minutes Later...

*Knock kno-*

-The suitably enraged Mimikyu slams the door open.-

Totem Mimikyu: <WHAAAAAAAT IS IT?!>

Polydamas: <EEP>

-The Wimpod bolts. The Mimikyu gives chase.-

Totem Mimikyu: <YOU WANT KNOCKING?! I'LL GIVE YOU KNOCKING!>

-Ludmilla hangs from the rafters, smiling.-

With a quick excited nod, Super Nerd pushed himself into the cart, looking all around him. "So...I'm not sure if you've been told about my situation, but..." He looked down at the pokeball that he rolled out of his sleeve. "I have a Porygon myself. Her name is Byte. She, uh...she's a hacked model. She has trouble staying in the physical world for long periods of time, and I was told by your recruiters that a PRB would possibly be able to help her?"

He gently rolled the ball in his hands.

Shaun: "Well, they're serene. Peaceful. I'd say I can sort of feel some residual Aura or something, but I'm not an Auric. I think."

-Shaun, Lightning, Jessica, and Jamie are all walking, presumably with Kaisei/Gogie.-

Elizabeth: "Welp, I'm terrified."

Pokeworld Studios

There was a certain Sneasel who was still out, for those who forgot. While Zachary was making his dash for Colton and Amelia, Rei was able to quickly reach for Zach's "hair" so she could throw him back into both the Centurion and the Jester.

Carol activated the cart and they were off, driving through the loading bays, and out into the open space, "Oh it should. The robots are meant to work with the Pory OS to create a perfectly functional body for them to use."

Ada said in a pleased tone, "It's always nice to see a trainer so concerned for our well being."

They passed the largest part of the open space, the launch pads in the distance, one of which appeared to be a deconstructed Odysseus rocket. "I can understand why you'd sign up then. I've had Ada and Rusty with me for awhile, and if anything happened to them I don't know what I'd do."

They approached the factory, multiple workshops and large buildings set up, "I'm guessing you wanna see the Robotics section."

Spear Pillar

Gogie: <Ah, gotcha.>

Route 212

Kaisei: "We're heading for the Trophy Garden, right? Didn't look at it last time the group was in Sinnoh, unfortunately."

Nerd looked between Carol and the Porygons, nodding his head before watching the scenery pass by them. "I can't imagine anyone that wouldn't care for their pokemon." He sighed and shook his head. "Just the thought of someone harassing a Porygon's OS system like they did with Byte makes me so upset...it's no different than dissecting a living being."

He looked to Carol, trying to calm himself down. "I apologize, I just...I've been working with her for such a long time, but the coding whoever used to mess with is a jumbled mess that I haven't been able to crack in three years...but I have faith in Asimov."

He smiled at the mention of robotics, nodding his head. "Absolutely! I've heard wonderful things about your foundation's work, I'm quite eager."

SCENE 4: AKALA TRIAL-ASSOCIATED Z CRYSTALS AND MOVES 
The scene opens with VIERR holding up a container with Z-CRYSTALS set inside. Of note are WATERIUM Z, FIRIUM Z, 
GRASSIUM Z, and ROCKIUM Z. 
                 VIERR 
                 All right, next part. Here, we've got four moves to present, so

-Vierr fast-forwards through the clip and partly into the next one.-

VIERR pokes his head out of his hiding place, looking at ELYSIA and the camera 
                 VIERR 
                 Tapu Lele scares me. I don't trust her. I feel like I'm going to

-He keeps fast-forwarding, then resumes normally at the next scene.-

Thanks to Mezzo for spagging this one!

SCENE 6: EEVIUM Z 

VIERR backs away from the camera slowly to make sure it doesn't fall from where it's mounted. 

                 VIERR 
                 All right, for this one, we're focusing on our first species-exclusive Z-Move. In this case it's 
                 Extreme Evoboost, exclusive to the Eevee line. So, of course, I asked for some help with this 
                 one, specifically rom the one person I know who's the most obsessed with Eevee. So, let me 
                 introduce Mezzoforte Morendo! 

He gestures toward FORTE. 

                 FORTE 
                 Uh, hi. I'm here to test out this Eevee thing, and Vierr let me borrow his Z-Ring for it. Now 
                 uh, how does this work? 

                 VIERR 
                 Well, first you need to put the crystal in the middle of the big stone thing on the ring. Then 
                 you've gotta do the same motion as for Normalium Z moves, which is sorta like this. 

He demonstrates, slowly. 

                 VIERR 
                 Like that, but a bit faster. And also with a lot of intense fighting spirit, probably. 

                 FORTE 
                 Okay, that doesn't sound too hard. You ready for this? 

                 ICICLE 
                <Let's do it!> 

FORTE makes a Z shape with their arms, and ICICLE hops onto their head. 

                 FORTE 
                 Uh. 

The rest of FORTE's team sits together in a pile. 

                 ICICLE 
                <What's going on?> 

The other Eeveelutions all fire beams of light toward ICICLE, which circle around him and then fly off in random 
directions. 

                 SHADOW 
                <I think it broke. The energy was too unstable.> 

Vierr scratches his head. 

                 VIERR 
                 Yeah, that's definitely not what the footage I saw showed. It was supposed to, like, double the 
                 subject's... everything. Not spew lasers in every direction. Who gave the crystal to you? 

                 FORTE 
                 I got it as a gift from… uh, I dunno even. 

FORTE snaps their fingers. 

                 FORTE 
                 Oh yeah! There's this guy, I'm his apprentice now kind of, who told me it only works on Eevees 
                 that haven't evolved yet. 

                 ICICLE 
                <Aww, really?> 

                 VIERR 
                 Huh. Weird. But maybe he'd be able to do it better for this? 

                 FORTE 
                 Probably. He sure knows more about it than I do. I think he invented it, actually. 

                 VIERR 
                 Interesting, people inventing Z-Moves on their own might make for a good thing to look into 
                 later. But, uh, for now, let's try to find that guy. 

He approaches the camera again. The footage cuts.

SCENE 7: KAGETORA 

The camera starts rolling again, once VIERR and FORTE have found KAGETORA. 

                 VIERR 
                 All right, guys, it's rolling. 

KAGETORA waves to the camera. 

                 KAGETORA 
                 Hi, I'm Kagetora the Eevee User, and today my apprentice and I are gonna show off my secret 
                 technique, Extreme Evoboost. 

FORTE waves. KAGETORA picks up his EEVEE. 

                 KAGETORA 
                 Have your team ready for this, apprentice. It works better if other Eeveelutions are around. 

                 FORTE 
                 Uh, okay. 

FORTE lets out their entire team, who gather in a circle. 

                 VIERR 
                 Now, I don't think this one has any different aura things going on from Breakneck Blitz, so 
                 Spirit's not gonna do the illusion-aura-highlighting thing this time. Just watch the 
                 spectacle. Ready? 

                 FORTE 
                 I think we're ready. 

                 KAGETORA 
                 All right Eevee, let's go for it. 

                 KAGETORA'S EEVEE 
                <Yeah!> 

KAGETORA makes the Z-pose with his arms, and his EEVEE jumps onto his head. The EEVEE hops down to FORTE's team, 
who are all posing in sync. The eight Eeveelutions circle around him, then levitate into the air. 

                 ICICLE 
                <Here, take some of my power!> 

                 SHADOW 
                <I suppose I can let you borrow this.> 

                 FIREBALL 
                <Get ready for a power boost!> 

                 MARINE 
                <Uh, yeah, what they said.> 

                 LEAFLET 
                 <Here you go?> 

                 ELECTRO 
                <Here's a speed boost for you!> 

                 STELLA 
                <You'd better use this for good, all right?> 

                 CELESTE 
                <I'll help as much as I can!> 

Each fires a beam of their own color toward the EEVEE, and they all coalesce into a single field which envelops 
him. 

                 VIERR 
                 ...Can I just say this is also the most adorable Z-Move? Because it is. 

Elysia walks onto the scene, arms crossed. 

                 ELYSIA 
                <Hit me. Show off that cool new power!> 

                 KAGETORA 
                 Hmm… I would use Last Resort, but if you're a Ghost type… give 'em a Bite, boy! 

                 KAGETORA'S EEVEE 
                <On it!> 

The EEVEE rushes at ELYSIA, fangs bared, and bites down on her. 

                 ELYSIA 
                <Yeeow! They weren't kidding, that's a heck of a bite!> 

STELLA winces. 

                 VIERR 
                 Well, there we have it, Extreme Evoboost! I'll have to find others if I want to focus on more 
                 exclusive Z-Moves than just the one, but thank you for helping out! 

                 KAGETORA 
                 You're welcome, and I hope your video project goes well. Also, apprentice! 

                 FORTE 
                 Uh? 

                 KAGETORA 
                 How you doing on those trials? 

                 FORTE 
                 Um, I need to get back to those. 

                 VIERR 
                 Good luck to you too, then. 

He turns off the camera.

Carol smiled, "I can understand how you feel there, hell one of the reasons we're so open is because, well, the history of the "Team" prefix and how many people have used it for evil. Zeke's a dreamer, and wants to do something good. Me? I'm a little selfish, and just wanna drift among the stars."

The pulled into the factory section, and turned to a large building, a open hangar with scientists and engineers assembling a robot body, "Each PRB is custom built. This gives us a art advantage over mass produced works."
