ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Mobius Airship

Hook: <Oh dear... what a shame. How happy I would be to get that back for you.>

Mobius Airship

Owen: ...I smell something fishy and it's not just your crustacean carapace, but I'm desprate. Just get it back to me ASAP and don't use it yourself.

Mobius Airship

Hook: <Fishy? Me. I promise to get it back for you and not use it myself.>

<Captain Hook never breaks a promise.>

Mobius Airship

Owen: ...All right. Get to it.

Hook: <As you wish.>

-He heads off to get to it-

-while it's highly possible that Ever is still with the Haunter, it's no longer a conscious choice. Instead, he's sought out a cousin-

Amanita: Oh, hey.

Ever: Hey, how's it going?

Amanita: Pretty okay. Did you know Brie was defending the universe from extradimensional threats during her spare time?

Ever: It seemed fairly obvious.

Amanita: ...But did you know?

Ever: ...No. I did not.

Amanita: You're allowed to just, like, be fazed by things. You know that, right?

Ever: I've yet to see evidence that that's true.

Amanita: Worrying.

Ever: Not the point.

Amanita: I feel like it's the point of most conversations I have with you.

Ever: Anyway, PEFE!Every got kidnapped. You know, again.

Amanita: It's a weirdly running pattern.

Ever: I think it's like...I attract murder attempts, she attracts kidnappers.

Amanita: All's from your branch of the family too, right?

Ever: Depressingly.

Amanita: So what does he attract?

Ever: Hopefully nothing.

Amanita: You know you're only burning yourself, right?

Ever: It's a risk I'm willing to take. Anyway, I think you're missing the point, which is that we should, like...help her? Probably.

Amanita: I mean, yes, but it's not like we have any kind of information on how to go about doing that. Plus, given who she is as a person, and who her parents are likely to be, there's probably some whole "You're more useful to us alive" thing going on.

Ever: Stop getting in the way of my half-baked plans with your logic.

Amanita: Stop deliberately trying to do things that you know will probably end in your death.

Ever: ...Okay, first of all—

-and he's gone-

Amanita: ...Who cuts themself off by vanishing?!

Oxy: <You'll admit, it's an exit.>

Amanita: I will admit no such thing.

Mobius Airship

-There is a trail of sand through the halls-

Hau'oli Center

Lucius: You're telling me.

-He sighs.-

Lucius: Who ended up dragging you here, anyway?

Malie City

-Shun smirks.-

Shun: Well, I seem to remember that you expressed some interest in the idea. I would lose access to a lot of official resources, of course... but I'd be able to choose my hours, my company, and my cases. And right now that seems a lot more important than any organisational obligations.

-He turns to Tara, who groans.-

Tara: Stop it. I can feel my blood sugar rising just listening to you.

Bishop's Ball

SI: That is the best way to go about it, I suppose.

SI: Not that I have any reasonable grounds to talk...

SI: Regardless, that is a lot of responsibility to take on at once. I'm glad to hear that you seem to be adapting to it well, but I can understand that it's been keeping you busy.

Abandoned Thrify Megamart

EJ yelped as the ghostly fireballs flew out at him, ducking for cover. There was a disembodied scoff, and another phantom hand appeared, tossing a ball of ghost obscura at the foe.

Trial of Strength

Phaz: "Huh."

Phaz takes the Ancient Sword and Ancient Shield.

"Could be useful..."

He then proceed to take out of his bag some Sitrus Berry juice that he gives to Embry.

"Here, you need to heal."

Embry: <Thanks Phaz~>

Phaz: "You're welcome~ Now what's in the chest and what's that mummy?"

Trial of Sight

Spinme goes with the others to the end, wiping off a bit of sweat.

Spinme: "Welp... What's at the end..."

Trial of Strength

"Yo, don't be greedy," Colton chided, reaching for the sword. "I know one is useless without the other, but we don't want to be coming out of this empty handed."

<Least of all, me!> 9-Volt added, drinking some more Lemonade.

-an unfortunate Intern has come across the trail of sand-

Intern: ...Who, and how?

-they begin sweeping up the sand with a broom, following it where it leads-

Mobius Airship

-The trail leads in and out of rooms, toward half-closed drawers and cabinets, and even a couple refrigerators. Eventually, though, the intern is able to see a Palossand in the distance.-

Runt: <Well, Tagg was the one who got me away from the others first, but Maggie ended up more in the middle of stuff, so ... kinda both of them, really.>

Sholto: <Oh, tht is a good point, hopefully that'd go well.>

<Granted, I'll need to figure out where I am in regards to Interpol if you do that... since I'm technically member enough to have found out about the Ultra Beasts. That said, I haven't done much with it with my new job and yeah...>

GC: A Bit, Yeah...

'''GC: That Said, Archer Did Get Sucked Into Another Dimension A While Back And We're Working On Getting Him Back, So...

Trial of STR

Phaz: "Dude, you got awesome Darkness powers that you wanted to use to fight this mech, and I ain't got nothing to attack or defend me. Fine, I'll give you the shield, because I don't wanna fall out behind."

He hands out the shield and keeps the sword.

-the Intern, out of breath from the circuitous sweeping path, sees the Palossand-

Intern: Hey! Hey! You! Palossand!

Mobius Airship

-The Palossand whips around-

Palossand: <What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?>

Hau'oli Center

-Lucius rolls his eyes resignedly.-

Lucius: You really couldn't have fallen in with better people.

Malie City

-Shun looks thoughtful.-

Shun: That is a good point. I suppose that's reason enough to hold off for now... though wait, what new job?

Bishop's Ball

SI: Ah...

SI: That does seem like it should be a priority, yes.

SI: ...I'm suddenly aware that my reactions sound very understated via text.

SI: I assure you I'm most concerned for his wellbeing. I just don't have the means to adequately express that right now.

SI: Save for emoji, of course, and I don't think those set the right tone.

Intern: ...

-this poses a problem. They don't understand mons-

-they decide to make a guess-

Intern: Hey, uh, could you like...clean up after yourself? Please?

Mobius Airship

-She frowns.-

Palossand: <Of course not! The sand's there for a reason! How else am I supposed to document which rooms I've already collected materials from?>

Intern: ...

-well, it's shouty, so-

Intern: Look, I cleaned up all the sand you already left I hope, and it was a mess, and I'm tired now, and there's sand everywhere, and it's coarse, and rough, and my computer got stolen and my Alakazam is on the moon or something and my bed was poisoned, so like, maybe you could just, like, not do whatever it is you're doing?

-they send out an Alolan Graveler-

Intern: Sorry, uh, I don't understand Pokemon, but Cortex can talk to you for me.

Cortex: -waves-

Trial of Strength

"Meh, good point," he decided, contemplating the best way to carry it before deciding he didn't need both hands for now. "I just don't actually have that much practice in using them.

"Which does sorta remind me," he paused, whipping out his phone and rapidly texting with one hand.

Runt: <...Is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult?>

Sholto: "Oh, yeah, did I say I'm working for a police department in the place I moved to, Capim Town?"

GC: Thanks

GC: Though... I Admit I Want To See You Try And Convey It Through Emojis Now

Trial of Sight

-Pent is left looking very preturbed as power returns to him. As much as the flippant blocking was physically disturbing to him, the return hits like a truck-

We're in the middle of- Okay, okay calm calm.

Karliah: <Sir, are you alright?>

Yes, yes quite elf. I'm-

-He stumbles and clutches his forehead-

Stop swirling at me shadows. Okay, okay. I might need to rest.

Shaun: "Yay."

-He peers down at the Centurion.-

Shaun: "Should we go down there?"
