ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Tapu Village Cafe

Lucius, who has been dry for all of about twelve hours, is downing a gin and tonic like the Rich Boy he still is at heart.

Lucius: Not really, no. There's a lot more social isolation and a much greater lack of freedom at school.

He sees Alonya at the bar and gives her a wave.

Lucius: Oh, hey Alonya!

Malie City Pokemon Center

Shun, now chowing down on pizza while Tara and Dani bicker in the background, picks up his phone.

Shun: Hello?

-Shun may hear the voice of a familiar Honchkrow on the line-

Sholto: <Hey, Shun. Been a while.>

Psyche is on her third Rum and Croagunk Cola. ~Isn't this the best~? Hanging out with friends against your will, engaging in peer pressure? It's just like all those movies told me high school was like!~

Tapu Village Cafe

Lucius nods at Psyche.

Lucius: I know, right? I'm so glad I didn't miss anything!

Malie City Pokemon Center

Shun gives a rare smile upon hearing the voice of the familiar Honchkrow.

Shun: Oh, good evening, Sholto! It really has been far too long. How are you?

PEFE!Every: -against her will, giggles at Psyche- Oh, well. Sounds like I didn't miss much, th—

-what little color she has in her face drains from it on hearing Alonya's name-

Why didn't I replace my hat...

"Rossum Droid Operating System Clever OS is attempting to make contact with other AI unit."

The droids stood alert, some saluting, "Thus demonstration of technology and ability was desired. Clever OS wishes to extend contact and form a possible alliance."

Sholto: <Doing pretty well. Relaxing after a day of stuff. Someone filed a missing personmon case, but we haven't seen much. They've got the guild posted in case anyone runs into them while heading through the dungeons, though.>

Psyche shrugs. ~I have fake memories of a Physics major education, so I didn't even get the fun parts of an education.~

Tapu Village

-Lucius's recognition of Alonya on its own wouldn't be much of a point of note. However, PEFE!Every's reaction to her name ''does catch their attention.-

-They keep quietly to their Tapu Cocoa though.-

Tapu Village Cafe

Lucius: Physics? Man, that sucks. They could've at least given you memories of a less boring subject.

He pats Psyche on the shoulder, then turns to PEFE!Every.

Lucius: What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost. One other than me, that is.

Malie City Pokemon Center

A touch of concern enters Shun's voice.

Shun: Oh, I see. Apologies for not getting in touch earlier to ask about the details. I've been... somewhat distracted.

Dani: Shun, tell Tara she's being a meanie miseryguts!

Tara: Shun, tell Dani that I am not buying her a third pizza under any circumstances.

Shun sighs, then continues talking into his phone.

Shun: I'm in Alola at the moment with Tara and Danielle. Despite myself, I must admit I'm finding them quite good company.

Sholto: <Oh, it's fine. Thanks for the concern. We'll probably get it resolved soon enough.>

<Oh, and oh, those are those two you ended up trapped with in that Glitch thing? Glad you're enjoying yourself with them, then.>

Tapu Cafe

-Alonya grins and waves-

Alonya: Hello, Lucius!

-Sees PEFE!Every and blinks-

...Hello... Every?

-The Salazzle next to her does the equivalent of an eyebrow raise-

Oran OS' lair

Oran OS: ... Go ahead?

Psyche shrugs. ~It's been useful for my studies on Psychic power, though I wish I'd taken some neurology and psychology classes too. Shame I have a doctorate no one will ever know about~

PEFE!Every: Uh...Hi, Alonya. How's it going? Nice seeing you.

-unsure what to do, she finishes another screwdriver-

(to Lucius) Nothing's the matter! Why would anything be the matter?

The first robot collapsed in a pulse, the systems of Oran OS would find a new network connecting.

Oran OS would suddenly find themselves in contact with another AI unit.

"Clever OS Version 5.2."

"Contact Reached: Oran OS. Confirmed."

"Query: Purpose of Oran OS?"

Tapu Village Cafe

-Kaito finally pipes up.-

Kaito: ...Coworkers, I'm guessing?

 Malie 

-Is currently reading a book titled Trainers Without Borders: A Brief History of Trainer Vigilante Groups of the 20th Century-

Hmm, the epilogue of the 2nd Edition has a mention of the J-Team inside.

Tapu Village Cafe

Lucius grins at the others.

Lucius: Guys, this is Alonya. I'very known her for a couple of months now, and she is just wonderful.

He looks between Alonya and PEFE!Every.

Lucius: I dunno! So, coworkers, huh? I take it you both work for PEFE, then?

Malie City Pokemon Center

Shun: Yes, they were the other two involved. It's hard not to establish a rapport with someone in such circumstances, especially when such... private matters were revealed.

He smiles again.

Shun: Thankfully, they proved to be most understanding.

Tapu Village Cafe

-A particular little girl walks in, a metaphorical stormcloud over her head. She looks around before sitting down and resting her forehead against the edge of the counter.-

Psyche waves, a little too tipsy to notice the awkwardness

Oran OS' Chamber

Oran OS: Advancing the intrests of the Best Berry Fruit And Fruit Accessories Company™! And others.

Tapu Cafe

-Alonya glances twoard the girl before gazing back at the others.-

Alonya: ...Volunteer work. At... This PEFE, yes.

"Others."

"Query: Would Others include Team Iron and Team Mobius?"

"Would Others include self centered interests?"

"Further Query: What access to the outside world does Oran OS use?"

The Rossum Droids continued to stand there, though one of the skelemodels slowly started to turn its head towards Oran's pokemon.

PEFE!Every: ...Yeah! It's real cool. We've collaborated on a couple projects!

-she giggles, though this could plausibly be interpreted as a consequence of her third screwdriver-

Tapu Cafe

Kaito: ...Ah.

-They take another sip quietly.-

Psyche, if she was paying attention, would notice this is weird! Instead she orders another drink. :P
