ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Jacob:

Iri Manor

Abra: <Party invitation... several days ago... J-Team... Alola League... still probably going on... please accept or decline so I can finally go home...>

Party

Hollow: <Indeed! In fact, in addition to the Auric Avenger, our leader also took inspiration from the popular superhero show Valiant Knight Skarmory!>

Blush Mountain

DU-32: We are simply here to make sure any other Ultra Beasts that appear do not pose a risk of harming the general public. Our last encounter with one here on Blush Mountain was rather... violent.

<We?> 16 stood up and began to scan the metal bird, <Who is we?>

Lanakila

“So it’s a sword that turns people into - insert notorious for all the wrong reasons political character here,” he joked in a semi-robotic monotone. “if they can execute Ghost-type moves?” He summarized. “What of people like me?” He asked, creating a jet-black fireball in his hand before lobbing it. It didn’t travel very far before it collapsed and faded in a puff of smoke.

“That... was supposed to be Dark Pulse.” He explained. “Or does the same sort of thing happen?”

Regina: <....>

<Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry! JACOB THERE'S A PARTY>

Jacob: -Smashes his empty bottle of wine on the ground- "WHAT"

"GRAB MY STUFF WE'RE GOING!"

Regina: <YOUR AN ADULT, YOU CAN GRAB YOUR OWN THINGS!>

Jacob: "FINE! Hikari, I'm heading out!!"

-He throws his iconic™ blue coat on-

"Discord! Handle the door!"

Discord: -Tries to salute with his tiny arms- <On it!>

Regina: -Turning back to the Abra- <I am so so sorry, we can go.>

Iri Manor

Abra: Ugh, finally...

-blip-

Party

-blip-

-JACOB IS HERE, THE RP IS FUNNY AGAIN-

Kaito: It's a sword that turns you into the Ghost Lord. The Dark-type counterpart is a Black Chalice, but don't go looking for that one either dear Ho-oh I never want to see them again

Anabel: Ahem, yes, I would certainly advise staying away from it, if that's the case.

Blush Mountain

-A tape recorder sound starts playing. A different voice comes through DU-32's beak.-

DU-32: The Bronze Bird Initiative is an agency intended to facilitate heroism among avian Pokemon. They are a vigilante organization that plans to operate across the globe, starting in the Alola Region with the recent Ultra Beast invasion. The Bronze Bird Initiative is not associated with any government agency.

Ever: -waves to Jacob- Heya.

(to Mezzo) So, apocalypse aside, how've you been?

Fortis: Oh my gosh oh my gosh! I love Valiant Knight Skarmory! -hugs Hollow-

Mezzo: Not that great. Trying not to think about tentacled things. And trying to keep my sister from diving straight into the fracture in the sky.

Jacob: "Hi Eve-"

"Apocalypse what."

Ever: Oh, uh, yikes. Sorry I haven't been around much. Things have been...weird. My cousin's been caught up in some weird stuff and then she was in the hospital...anyway, yeah. It's good to see you.

-he somewhat awkwardly hugs Mezzo-

(to Jacob) Also, yeah, the universe did explode kind of. It's a bit of a hot mess.

Jacob: ".... I'M GONE FOR A YEAR AND YOU ALL COLLAPSE THE UNIVERSE?"

"Goddammit is this because when we were fighting Zrone he did his whole "Mwuahahah I've made a new space-time you idiots! I've won!" thing? Or can I not blame myself for this?"

Lanakila Center

Hollow: <Ah!>

-He is caught off guard by the hug, chuckles, and returns it.-

Hollow: <I'm glad you do! It really is an entertaining show.>

<May I see these birds?>

Lanakila

Colton hummed. "Is there an... equivalent for Psychics and Aurics?" He asked.

Then he looked to Anabel. "Just ask if ya want the recording sent to whoever's in charge... and maybe how to do it, too..." He sighed.

Mobius Airship

-Alonya and Oran OS are around, talking via a random computer screen-

Fortis: Can I join you? I'm a Flying trainer and I have lots of birdies!

Mezzo: What happened? Did she get in trouble with one of those jellyfish things too?

Lanakila Center

Kaito: There's a locket and a diadem respectively. The former got tossed into a volcano. The latter is being kept where nobody can reach it except the person who's hiding it, within an Aura Jammer field. I'm not telling you anything else about them.

Anabel: Right, yes, duly noted.

Hollow: <Well, your team can! For thematic reasons, we accept all birds, as long as they're genuine birds. Not all Flying-types are, but also, not all birds are Flying-type, like myself.>

-He looks around, then whispers.-

Hollow: <That said, I heard through the Grepavine that the J-Team has experience with transforming themselves into Pokemon. If, by chance, you become a bird this way, you may be able to join too.>

-He winks.-

Ever: Uh, sort of. She accidentally did something to herself that made this Ultra Beast try and kill her, so she made a deal with them to get them home, but the people that are the reason the universe is like this somehow used that to blackmail her into trying to raid a Cipher compound, where she got the shit kicked out of her by some sort of mutant Salazzle.

It's just sort of what happens when you don't make good decisions.

(to Jacob) Well, I don't think it's your fault, but I guess you could blame yourself if you want to. I think PEFE!Every does. Ephemera probably should but doesn't.

Ephemera: -blows a raspberry-

PEFE!Every: Oh hey, didn't they recruit me?

-she approaches the two to listen in on what they're saying-

Lanakila

"So the Auric and Psychic doohickeys have been addressed, but the Dark and Ghost McGuffins are still out there," Colton summarized. With that said, he stopped recording. "Now should I just send this to you straight or what?" He asked Anabel.

Fortis: Okay!

Mezzo: Uh, wow, and I thought I was having a bad time.

"..."

"Iskandar Halloween was Tuesday, please stop riding my Roomba around like a chariot."

<NEVER!>

"Iskandar I will shock you across the room and buy a new Roomba."

<YOU WILL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!>

-BZZZT-

<OW!>

Natalie returns Iskandar to his pokeball, looking at the very much fried Roobma now across the room.

"... Actually, thank you for reminding me. Cyrus! We're going."

~... Where?~

"The field!" Natalie throws her coat on.

~... Why?~

"Fieldwork!"

~... No bloody shit.~

-Kofun's scan reveals the heat signatures of ???eon, the Aerodactyl, the Snorlax, the bag of buffet food the Snorlax has been borrowing, the Serious Pidgey, Son X, Child X, Narrow, Estoc, and the Vigilante Woodpecker-

Minister Aerodactyl: <So, recap. Since the Silly Pidgey went missing, nobody has left the reception except for her mon of honor->

-gestures at ???eon-

<-who returned with these investigators. Teleportation is impossible.>

-blip-
