ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Mezzo: Hi... wait, when did I try to kill you?

Felis: <Who haven't you tried to kill at this point?>

Pianis: Well, that's enough of that I think.

-he closes his laptop-

Shadow: <Suit yourself.>

Pianis: So anyway, how have you guys been?

Celeste: <Okay...>

-she focuses on trying to keep the ball contained in a star-shaped prison-

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Phoenix: Hm. I heard the League recently opened up here. Wonder if anyone's made it there yet?

-Phoenix is nudged by Lawrence.-

Phoenix: *sighs* No, I don't think they have Musicals here, Larry. Now, Gabe, let's go find some J-Teamers.

Abandoned Thrifty Megamart

-Doomsday laughs before being recalled as the Mimikyu and Gengar go to retaliate. Their blows hit a rocky, furry body.-

Gelert: <Oof!>

-Gelert the Lycanroc winces before downing his Liechi berry.-

GELERT ate his Liechi Berry! ATTACK rises!

Ludmilla: HERE WE GO!

Gelert: <I've been waiting for this.>

Totem Mimikyu: <TODAY CAN JUST GO SCREW RIGHT OFF!>

*CRUSH*

Malie City

Colton's trek to the center was interrupted when someone mentioned J-Teamers. Curious as to what they were being scouted for, he approached them.

"Did you guys mention something about the J-Team?" He asked.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

-An Emboar suddenly pops up near Mezzo-

Squealer: <You haven't tried to kill me!>

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

-Mezzo immediately gets out her umbrella and gives Squealer a good thwack-

Mezzo: Now I have.

Noelle: That's mean.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Malie Center

Echo: {What exactly did put you in this condition? I presume it was some sort of Shadow Pokemon that did this to you, if it was in a Cipher compound. What happened in there?}

Victory Road

-Kaito indeed finds Neon-

Kaito: Hey, do you know where she went? I need to talk to her.

Shaun: "Yeah. Shame you haven't. It's pretty nice. You know, when poachers aren't trying to kidnap sweet lil' Pikachus."

-Lightning makes a weird noise.-

Shaun: "Sorry. But hey, you're fine."

Jessica: <Lightning likes to visit her old friends.>

Lightning: <And family.>

Shaun: "Yeah, she has a brother. Speaking of family...we met Jamie's mom. Totem Ninetales, man?"

-Jessica opens her snout.-

Jamie: <Sestra I'm begging you no more jokes about giant women.>

-Snout closes.-

---

Lyra: <It does indeed. So do we just smash it? I'm good at smashing things.>

Gabe: -to Phoenix- Maybe -lick- we should ask -lick- this guy? -thumbs to Colton-

Victory Road

Neon: Problem is I can't...

???: <Are you looking for that human girl?>

-A Drampa tromps up to them-

Kofun: <Er, yes, we are.>

Drampa: <I saw where she went. Follow me.>

-He leads the group off-

Malie City

Not really used to having his backpack and laptop bag, Colton was a mite distracted by readjusting them, but he was able to continue the conversation. "I'm just curious as to why you want to get involved with them." He explained.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Every(?): Uh, maybe I tried to kill you? I don't remember.

-she giggles, and hops to the shore-

Every(?): ...Or maybe that was another you. Who knows?

Amanita: Nothing much has been happening. I caught the local Poison-types.

Brie: I caught a Minior, I made friends with an Ultra Beast but then that got really weird, so mostly I've just been flying around to taunt this weird kid with a bunch of dragons?

-Ever gives Brie a look of confusion-

Brie: What?

Ever: ...Anyway, I've been kicking around mostly. Keeping PEFE!Every company.

-Echo can't see it behind the bandages, but PEFE!Every's eyes widen-

PEFE!Every: Augmented...Salazzle. Reminded...of home. Bad way. Oddly...intelligent. Running...facility...in absence...of Cipher. Taking care...of other...similar...augmented...Pokemon. Found flash drive...cut power...taking it. Upset her. Teleport...ation blocked. Injured during...escape.

Cytosol: <She had some sort of fluid delivery system hooked up to her. Bunch of weird syringes holding an unidentified toxic fluid. Fortunately we have limited knowledge of its effects.>

-PEFE!Every shudders-

-the Passimian catches the ball, then disintegrates into an Ariados, which begins weaving a web around the ball, then into an Octillery clutching the ball-

-Ephemera hops up and down excitably-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Mezzo: Whatever. Who cares, right. At least I'm not trying to kill you now. Anyway, have you seen anyone else around? Like the other other you, maybe?

Pianis: Ultra Beasts, huh. My sister had a run in with one of those recently. From what I hear it wasn't pleasant.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

-Squealer rubs where he was struck-

Squealer: <I... should've expected that.>

<But hmm... what's all this talk about other versions... I wonder what other versions of me might be like...>

-Kaisei growls a bit at the mention of poachers, but then takes a quick turn and blushes after being asked about the Totem Ninetales-

Kaisei: "Eheh... Hey, I'm not too fond of the cold, but I can't say it wasn't worth it..."

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

-Shaun laughs and grins cheekily.-

Shaun: "Heheh. I see you."

-Suddenly-

???: ~Help!~

Shaun: "What the hell was that? Telepathy, obviously. But...I can't tell where it came from."

Jamie: <Probably from in front of us.>

Shaun: "Good call."

-He takes off at a sprint, tailed by two Vulpixes and a Pikachu.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Mount Lanakila, TS

Isbrand: <Hark!>

(True to form, the second of the three Vulpix siblings has arrived in her Goodra-drawn carriage. Altair is looking... a bit embarrassed, to put it mildly.)

Altair: <please please please don't let her mom see me like this>

Isbrand: <I was informed that my long-lost siblings would be making their presence known here! Am I correct?>

Tastes better on the way back down.

Mount Lankinala, TS

-Omnious music is suddenly heard-

 Malie, past 

...

-Hand glows with Aura as I try, in likely one of my most ill-advised life choices not related to Orre, to just rip Kolemm off Jackie's neck-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Every(?) pets Squealer's head-

Every(?): They could be anything, really! Dead, alive...or otherwise! Really, that's a false binary.

-she giggles at Mezzo-

Every(?): I did meet another me the other day, but I don't know if she was strictly speaking me. She did have my name and face though, so that was peculiar. But I suppose you mean the other me, as in the me native to this world? As to him...

-she shrugs-

Every(?): I think he's on the island. I am a city person, or I was, so maybe there?

Ever: Yeah, one cut my arm off. It was pretty exciting.

Amanita: (blandly) It was horrifying.

Brie: It can be both.

-Ever and Amanita both give her looks this time-

Brie: Just saying!

Ever: Speaking of Mezzo, have you seen her around?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Mezzo: Oh. Yeah, I guess that'd be a good idea.

Pianis: I don't know. Last I heard she was sitting on the beach trying to get over the whole thing.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

 Ula'ula berry field 

Brebre: -to Duolis- <Hey, you keep whipping out that shadow ball thing!>

Fuego: -reaches out to catch the ball, which flickers before jumping to the tip of his elbow, but holding still there- <H-hey! I've got it! ...kinda>

-Celeste's ball is locked firm in the star cage, while Sol and Ton both stare slackjawed at Ephemera's rubegoldbergian, yet effective, capture-

Sol: ...OK! We can work from here.

-Sol throws more spheres at the group-

-Celeste runs between some berry trees-

-Ton throws berries at Fuego, who parries them with captures energy spheres, and at Ephemera, who simply eats the berries-

-Sol waves around a psychic whip-

-Celeste tries bending the whip with her feelers, but has to jump out of the way-

-Ephemera levitates Fuego-

-Celeste tries climbing a berry tree-

-Fuego tries to parry a whip, which tangles into a mess-

-Ephemera parries a whip. Trevenant-

-Celeste and Fuego play jumprope with the psychic whip-

-Fuego levitates Ephemera, who plucks berries off a tree-

-Celeste runs up a staircase victoriously-

-Sol and Ton wonder how the staircase got there-

-Celeste, Fuego, and Ephemera manage to keep a glowing psychic ring stable in the center of a circle they're standing in-

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Victory Road

Kaito: Oh, thank goodness.

-They follow the Drampa-

Malie Center

-Echo's brow furrows.-

Echo: {...That's... concerning. To say the least. The flash drive must have been hidden in such a dangerous location for a reason.}

Ula Ula Field

-Duolis watches the proceedings-

Duolis: -sighs- This is going to end badly yet here I am stading right here. I'd say I hate my life but I'm already dead.

Victory Road

-The group comes across a curled-up, sniffling Alli-

Neon: Alli... Alli, it's OK...

Malie, past

-Jackie is suddenly pulled toward Tagg along with the medalion before Jean grabs her-

Jackie: What the hell are you doing?! What the hell is IT doing?!

Jean: It seams to be stuck to her!

-Monstercat pauses her music to look at the commotion.-

Victory Road

-Kaito sighs, and sits down next to Alli.-

Kaito: That should have been a win for you. Tartarus shouldn't have done that, and it was my mistake for trying to maintain a Mega Evolution bond with a Pokemon that has never seen eye to eye with me. As far as I'm concerned, you won, because Keaton was still standing just fine before Tartarus went berserk.

Every(?): Perhaps!

-and she's gone-

Ever: That...seems fair. I should probably find her...

PEFE!Every: ...Yeah. And now...Mobius...has it.

-she's silent for a while. When she speaks, her voice has lost most of its very limited inflection-

PEFE!Every: Can I just...sleep for now? I'm really...tired.

-Ephemera stands in the psychic circle, giggling and creating little pictograms of the day-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Malie Center

-Echo nods-

Echo: {Of course. I can leave Petunia here with you for support, if you want, but otherwise I'll let you rest and heal.}

-Petunia gives PEFE!Every a gentle nuzzle on her side.-
