ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Lanakila Center

"Tch, yeah, me neither," the Unovan confessed. "though it's mostly just because I never care for going outside anyway. Unless it's going to Nimbasa to get a little bit of training done so my 'mon's skills don't stagnate.

"Though that's mostly because it's just a reasonable distance," he added.

Around this time, Rei was a little paranoid because she was kind of alone. With flagrant disregard for the walls, she leaped onto the wall above the door to get a good vantage to find everyone.

She found Lucario, so she got down and started trying to maneuver with roller blades on. Wasn't easy, but she was small enough to find the Aura Pokemon. <Yo, whatcha doin'?> She asked in a surprisingly good impression of the [Polish] half-demon she was dressed as.

<Finding where we can sign up for karaoke, because I know that Colton loves to do it. That girl that was just body-checked, she was doing karaoke.> He explained.

Rei was intrigued. <I might want to try it,> she admitted.

What Pumpkaboo? -this costume is lying in a pile on the floor, unsupported by any being-

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Malie, way past

Jackie: Well now you figure that out!

Jean: We shall find a solution to this later.

-Seishirou swats Vierr's hand-

Seshirou: Hey! That was someone else's cupcake!

Umbra: -to Sylveon- Apparently that part's optional. -sips his drink-

Sora: -yelps at the transformation- How did you do that?!

(Simon's expression brightens a bit.)

Simon: Ah, well, we're on the same page there! I pride myself on keeping my mons in peak physical condition!

(The cat-eared helmet pokes above the desk. The rest of Belinda's body does not emerge, as she's too busy holding Queenie down to prevent her from retaking the mic.)

Belinda: Guys, it's okay, don't worry! I saved your ears!

Tastes better on the way back down.

Lanakila

Sylveon bit her tongue. When she felt that wasn't doing the job enough, she bit both of her feelers. She then slowly walked out of the party, making sure that all was silent at the caves below.

<Nothing personal,> she apologized to no one before she lost it.

<YOU MEAN TO TELL ME WE HELD ONTO EIGHT BADGES FOR SEVEN YEARS FOR NO FUCKING REASON?!!?> She screamed into the uncaring void.

She then re-entered the party, unsure if they heard her but not caring. <I'm fine. This is fine.>

-To Pleth-

Wouldn't be a good field researcher if I wasn't.

-To PEFE!Every-

I've heard everything said today, at least.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Lanakila Party

Sylveon, having inadvertently subdued herself through the sheer fatigue of processing that they had the opportunity for greatness slip them by due to one misunderstanding, didn't even bother to resist Umbra's gesture.

<Just don't... mess up the costume...> She sighed.

<You heard that?> She asked.

-Vierr blinks, then gives Seishirou an exaggerated glare.-

Vierr: Clearly it's my cupcake now, unless you want to do something about it?

-He smirks as a few miniature explosions crackle in his hand.◊-

Kaito: Vierr, please don't act in-character about baked goods.

Vierr: ...

-He sighs and finishes the cupcake.-

Vierr: All right, what can I do about making up for the cupcake that I was unaware was reserved for someone else?

Diane: We prepared both costumes beforehand so going from one to the other would be a flawless—

Skye: She means the armbands.

Diane: ...Oh. Right. Magic transformy artifacts.

-Echo can't help but chuckle at Tagg's stealth mastery, but sits back and lets them talk.-

Queenie erupted in a shrill shriek that was probably synonymous to a train flying off the rails as all of its steel casing exploded. Reaching out, the girl tried to grab at Bel, but found herself unable to do so in the position she was in.

"YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PERSON!" She snarled, trying hard not to move and make her dress rip. "I...I...I CHALLENGE YOU TO A BATTLE!"

All of the movement would have the microphone and signup sheet roll from the positions they were in to right in front of Lucario and Rei.

Dab for me.

Maggie: "Uh, yeah."

"Well, I don't think I know here personally, but I know of her and with your name..."

Ever: Aww, it didn't even make me spoopy.

Every(?): -has somehow changed into the spider costume with nobody noticing- You don't need a ghost to be spoopy!

Ever: I don't?

Every(?): I mean, you sort of do. But not like that.

-PEFE!Every is quiet for a while-

Pleth: (to Tagg) <You've got Aura, right? Don't let her try to sit up; she keeps forgetting her ribs are broken and trying to hug people.>

-she dives right out the window-

Pleth: <Tell me when things are less awkward!>

-and she's gone-

PEFE!Every: You remember....finding me...right?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Halloween Party

Belinda: ...really?

(The helmet flicks from person to person, all while her arms keep Queenie pressed firmly into the ground.)

Belinda: A battle? When I'm trying to stop you disrupting everyone else? You kidding?

Tastes better on the way back down.

Not wanting to shift her balance too far to alert Lucario about the presence of the signups, Rei swiped one of her blades under his foot to put him at eye level with the signups.

<YO!> He hollered as he fell, looking at the Sneasel with an angry look that would have gone all the way if it weren't for the reason being revealed. Greedily, he grabbed the clipboard and put Rei's name above Colton's while wearing the most shit-eating smirk his species could. Jotting down the numbers associated with the respective ditties, he then grabbed Rei's arm before returning to the entrance, where Sylveon was being pet by Umbra.

<What's going on?> Lucario asked.

<We don't need to take up the champion's mantle when they're beaten.> Sylveon sighed.

That tore it. Almost reflexively, Lucario ran behind the center and began to make some adjustments. He removed his jacket and removed some hidden buttons, turning it from a jacket to a trenchcoat. He reversed his button-up shirt, revealing a black inside that was now on the outside.

And he replaced the Expert Belt over his eyes. The camera could stuff it; it's Lucario D.C.'s turn.

He re-entered, speaking a little bit more deliberately. <We'll survive,> he stated bluntly.

What, a Pumpkaboo?! -Trick or Treats Ever, then TPs Muninn-

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Queenie is silenced for a bit, before narrowing her eyes at her. "...You...You are literally the only person who showed any issue with the karaoke." She tried to force herself back into a sitting position, pushing all her might against this chick.

"And I meant battle outside...who the hell even are you?!"

Dab for me.

Party

Seishirou: Chill kid, I was just messing with you.

Fuuma: Everything here's free if you give appreciation to Waluigi!

Seishirou: Don't tell me you're getting absurdly in-character t-

Fuuma: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Sora: ...Can I get one of those too?

Neon: Is... Is she OK?

-Jackie and Jean are still around-

Phoenix: Hey, uh... person. I'll fight... loud person for you. I defeated the Beanmon once before; now I'll just be using Pokémon.

-He calls to a Casteliacone-ified Lawrence.-

Phoenix: Yo, Larry! Get out of the caramel apples, I need you over here!

 Malie Center 

-To PEFE!Every-

It was about two years after we acquired the new HQ from Pokefutures, and a year before I started this current trek in my life's bizarre adventure. You were deep within the lower modules of the HQ, not in Scythermen territory, that's the actual underground, but pretty close to it.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

(Belinda raises a gloved hand to wave away Phoenix. Queenie's hardest shoving seems to not even faze her.)

Belinda: Hey, thanks for the offer, but I've got this.

(Back to Queenie.)

Belinda: I'm Belinda Treves, and I'm pretty sure they only have no problem because I stopped you rupturing their inner ears.

Tastes better on the way back down.

Phoenix: Well, I want to battle SOMEONE.

-He thinks for a bit and looks around.-

Phoenix:Hmm... how... about... You!

-he points at Human Jackie-

Phoenix: I challenge you to a friendly battle!

Ever: Oh! Okay~!

Every(?): Oooh...

-she pokes Ever-

Ever: Hey, how'd you do that?

Every(?): Same way you do~

-Muninn, meanwhile, is attempting to extricate himself from the TP. It's really not working-

Muninn: <What, did I kill your family or something?!>

Ever: -upside-down- I mean, if you killed anyone's family that's really a problem~

Every(?): -picking up Muninn- Oh, are you an evil ghost?

Muninn: (drily) <The evilest.>

Every(?): How lovely!

Cervantes: <Haha, yeah, those were good times...loved those Scythermen.>

PEFE!Every: When I was...about eight...I guess...wandered into...a module. Messed with...buttons. Ended up...below. Assumed parents...didn't know...where I'd gone. Then...takeover. Figured out...what happened...when some...experiments...from lower...levels got loose. Realized...parents left. Found records...of a psychic...mon. Don't think they...ever looked. Always thought...if I hadn't...been stuck down...there so long...might have found...them first. Or if I'd...worked out...a way to...signal.

...Don't like...admitting...weakness. Always feels like...it's one step...to recurrence. This is...a lot...of weakness.

As Sylveon, D.C. and Rei were all still close to Umbra, they looked in the direction of who was pointing to them.

<We aren't his!> They Sylveon and Rei said, while D.C. merely suffixed it with <I don't even know him.>
