ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Mezzo: Malasadas! They're these great sweet things that seem to be an Alola specialty.

Pianis: I don't know what the deal is with the Buneary, or where Brie went. Wasn't she just with us?

-Fortis lands on the coast and approaches a large bonfire there, where she sees a young woman tending to it-

Fortis: Oh my gosh! Hi, miss fire lady!

Jenna(?): Do I know you?

Around Alola

-Gudrunn and Gina get invitations-

Gina: Sweet, a vacation! We can figure out the world-saving stuff there!

Gudrunn: This seems familiar somehow...

-Duolis gets one too-

Duolis: <...I should investigate this...>

-A redhead gets hers-

Anna 247: Sweet! This is a great sales opportunity!

Penscape

Colton looked at his paws, now drenched in ink from having to go back to being quadrupedal. He sighed, doubtlessly incredibly bored. He kinda wished he had his finger back so he could pull on his hair in frustration.

But for now, he was muffling his own screaming by both refusing to open his mouth and shoving his mug into the ink.

Somewhere in Malie, possibly after the Ghost Trial a few hours after getting out of the Penscape

Colton just stared at the invitation, recognizing the distinct style of the one responsible. Holding off on chiming something about Psychic Friend Bewear, he pocketed it, knowing what it meant.

“He’s not giving up, is he?”

Fortis: Uh huh! I remember you and the fighting girl that Piano doesn't like and the mean rock boy and everyone else and then there was that time where you turned tiny and you were mad but it was so cute and then—

Jenna(?): ...Strange girl. I've never seen you in my life, and I think I'd remember if I did.

Fortis: Huh? Don't you remember, miss fire lady?

Jenna(?): Remember what? You? No. I think you're very confused. Come, sit by the fire, why don't you.

-Fortis sits next to the fire, her birds perching nearby-

Jenna(?): I'm surprised to meet anyone else out here, much less some little girl with delusions in her head.

Fortis: Huh? They're not delusions though!

-Fortis gasps-

Fortis: Oh my gosh! I get it! It's because I'm in a different universe and that's why you don't remember me!

Rouge: <That would make sense.>

Jenna(?): More nonsense. Are you feeling okay?

Fortis: Uh huh! Because Minty and me and everyone flew through the hole in the sky and then we got here and now the sky's all black and stuff!

Jenna(?): You really are clueless.

Pen snapped his fingers and Colton was back to normal, though he still had a tail.

"Alright kid, how about this..."

Another snap, there was a obstacle course, "Feel free to experiment a bit with your obscuric abilities."

Penscape

Rather than attempting to traverse the obstacle course, he first spent a good duration tugging at his hair. HARD.

Acknowledging the tail, he then proceeded. Doubtless this would go down the same route as [ Wipeout ], so he was going to be very cautious.

-The Delibird takes this occasion to rush forth and Drill Peck the hat-

-The PEFEvery robot may be approached by a certain Seadra-

-A certain Rampardos receives an invitation as well-

Hyp: <Hm... wonder what this about...>

Jenna(?): Look, strange girl. Maybe what you're saying is true. I don't believe parallel universes are a thing. But then again...

-she points toward the sky-

Jenna(?): I never believed this could happen either.

Fortis: What happened?

Jenna(?): No one knows. One day, about a year ago, the sun just... vanished.

Fortis: Oh my gosh.

Jenna(?): It's a miracle that people are still surviving. Food, energy, fuel... it all comes back to the sun, you realize. Without it, the world is dying.

-Fortis gasps-

Jenna(?): It's a cold truth, but inevitable. All I can do is provide what little light and warmth I can until everything burns out.

-she points at the fire-

Jenna(?): You were right about me being a "fire lady". And without the sun, we're dependent on what few Fire Pokémon that remain, or else we freeze to death.

Fortis: This must be what I'm here for then! I came to save the multiverse so I can bring the sun back!

-Jenna(?) gives the younger girl a look, then sighs deeply-

-Lawrence cradles his head. He can only expel the Gardevoir from his mind when he focuses on an image of an extended middle finger. Phoenix would be proud.-

Lawrence:<Guh... He's not gonna listen. He doesn't speak Monese like us.>

Phoenix:You're right, Larry! This is no time for ice cream!

-He chucks the ice cream cone he was eating towards the Gardevoir.-

Phoenix:Toxic!

-Lawrence less-than-happily sprays toxins at the Gardevoir-

Carna's Domain — AU

-The Vibrava's attack catches Carna completely off guard.-

-She just sorta stares in shock.-

Carna: <...YOU'RE GOING... TO MAKE IT ALL WORSE...>

-It just now sets in how worn out she is.-

Nondescript Past

-Scarlette shakes her head-

Scarlette: Don't worry about it, I'm fine. I'll work past that. I need to.

Soujin: "Ah, hey! What's that for! Don't-"

-He rushes forward and tries to punch the Vibrava-

Orlok: <Agh! Soujin!>

-He tries to get inbetween him and whatever the Vibrava does next-

AU Carna's Domain

-The Vibrava lunges at Soujin with a Crunch before being recalled by Archer-

Archer: Let's get out of here!

-He grabs the Vibrava's Pokeball and Heihei and scrams for the exit-

-Orlok manages to take the attack-

Soujin: "...You okay?"

-Orlok nods-

Soujin: "Alright."

-He runs out mouthing 'I'm sorry' at Carna-

 Sometime in the past 

 Wherever Gabe is, today 

-To Gabe-

He decided to go take on Mobius, by himself, is that what you're saying?

The Tagg Zone

Gabe: Yes! I told him it was a horrible idea, but he's still in denial even as he texts me from an airship that's buggered off to who knows where because he decided to [LEROY JENKINS] it!

Jenna(?): I used to think like you. I thought this was a problem that could be solved so long as we had determination.

-Fortis tilts her head-

Jenna(?): Let me tell you a story. Have you ever heard of a Pokémon called Volcarona?

Fortis: Uh huh. That's the big fire moth.

Jenna(?): Where I come from, there's a legend about them. In ancient times when volcanic ash blotted out the sun, their fire served as a replacement.

-Fortis nods-

Jenna(?): Iris, my closest companion, was one of those. And when the sun disappeared, that was the first thing that came to my mind. We could help people. We could bring light back into their lives.

-Jenna(?) trembles a little bit-

Fortis: What happened then?

Jenna(?): It killed her.

-Fortis gasps-

Fortis: Oh no...

Jenna(?): Her body couldn't handle the strain of producing that much heat for so long. There was a time when it worked, when the sky shined again, but...

-Jenna(?) shakes her head-

Jenna(?): By the time I realized what it was doing to her, it was too late. I ran out to the beach, screamed, cried for her to stop... but by the time I got here, our new sun had faded, and all that was left of her was a pile of ashes.

-...-

Jenna(?): Do you understand? This isn't something that you can just wish back. And because of that... because I thought it could be fixed... I lost my closest friend.

Fortis: I'm sorry...

-Aurora rolls her eyes and teleports to the other side of the room. She glares at Phoenix.-

Aurora: ~WOULD YA KINDLY STOP TRYIN' TO BREAK OUTTA HERE AND LISTEN FOR A SECOND!?~

-Without taking her eyes off of Phoenix, she makes a fingergun and points it at Lawrence. Her hand glows light purple.-

Shaun: "Huh. I guess I could do that."

Beowulf: <What are you talking about?>

Shaun: "This letter."

-Beowulf looks at the letter, confused.-

Beowulf: <It's blank.>

-Shaun blinks and looks at the paper - which clearly has writing on it.-

Shaun: "Okay now we're definitely going there."

Beowulf: <The village?>

Shaun: "No. Well, yes. But after that, we're going somewhere else."

Beowulf: <Ooookay.>

-He seems oblivious to Lawrence's having a psyshock pointed at him.-

Lawrence: <This was not the best decision.>

Phoenix: Cool. Talking pokémon. That must be the first time ever!

Nondescript Past

-Aulstyne shoots Scarlette a smile ranging somewhere between "good work" and "don't let it mess with the job or I'm gonna nerve-staple you". Of course, that might be reading into it a bit much.-

Aulstyne: So, we've got a new squad opening - plainclothes scouts, basically. What with our patrols being attacked every time they go out in uniform Scheißkerl we've had to work more covertly. What do you say?

-She reaches into her hair to reveal that she's been wearing a thinly-wired headset fine enough to be almost invisible.-

Aulstyne: You get one of these~

Admin D walks in and sees the scene.

"...What's a woman doing in the men's room?"

Carna's Domain — AU

-Carna attempts to chase after, but they're out too quickly.-

Carna: <...ARCEUS DAMN IT ALL. I WAS SO CLOSE! HIS HEART WAS ALMOST FIXED, AND I LET HIM GET TAKEN AWAY JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHERS!>

-She hisses a number of curses in Draconic as Archer and Soujin get away.-

Nondescript Past

You already fucked it up wShhhh.

Scarlette: That sounds simple enough. I'll take it.

Mobius Airship

??? walks by holding a cup of coffee. He stops dead in his tracks when he sees what's going on in the bathrooms.

Ever: ...Huh. Now I really want to try one.

-PEFE!Every turns-

Spark: <Do we know this Seadra?>

Xeno: <Every met them shortly before she visited the Cipher facility. Her name is Tatsuko.>

Spark: <Got it.> Uh, hey. How's it going?

Nondescript Past

Aulstyne: Wunderbar.

-She takes out a keycard attached to a keychain. She tosses it to Scarlette.-

Aulstyne: Best part of the job? Free rent. No bunkmates. I may be an authoritarian, but even I hate picking up other people's underwear off the bathroom floor.

-They keycard also has a map of the Security portion of the base, with a little red mark where the quarters to match the card (probably) are.-

Aurora: ~It's called telepathy. Now recall the Nido and hand over your Poké Balls.~

-Aurora glances at the two men.-

Aurora: ~Somebody else's job.~

-The narrator would just like to point out Gabrielle is just standing outside the bathroom listening.-

Shaun: "This is odd. I'm not used to Mon-only cities. That is, here. They obviously exist in the Pokémon-only verses."

Beowulf: <They seem to be wary of you.>

-Indeed, Shaun's being eyes by many of the village's mons.-

???: "For good reason, of course."

-A man is standing somewhere nearby, smoking a cigarette.-

Shaun: "Yet you're here."

-Oddly enough, Shaun can't smell any smoke.-

???: "They trust me."

-He glances at Beowulf.-

Shaun: "You live here?"

???: "Yes."

Shaun: "I never heard of humans living here."

???: "I'm a unique case."

-Beowulf is suspicous.-

Shaun: "Oh?"

???: "We're more alike than you could ever imagine."

-Beowulf tries to probe ???'s mind...and meets a solid wall.-

-Shaun blinks and stares at the Zoroark now standing before him.-
