ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Lanakila Center

Ever: Not sensing much of a theme here. I guess Iris isn't so typical...

 Champion's Arena 

Go Lucani!

Lucani: -Appears-

Thunderbolt!

Lucani: -Fires lightning at Braviary-

Braviary: -Is brought down to the red- <I hate lightning!>

Kukui: Use Rock Slide!

Braviary: -Sends out pieces of the arena at Lucani-

Lucani: -Is hit and loses a quarter of his health- <Ack!>

Braviary: <How do you like that beetle-Urk!>

-Immediately faints soon after from Botuli's earlier poisoning-

Kukui: Go Magnezone!

Magnezone: -Appears-

Kukui: Use Hidden Power!

Magnezone: -Sends out noticeably rocky orbs at Lucani-

Lucani: -Brought down to under half-health- <Ack!>

Dig!

Lucani: -Buries himself underground, avoiding a second Hidden Power, before rising up and jabbing with his pincers- <Take this!>

Magnezone: -Loses a quarter of their health- <Big mistake.>

-And hits Lucani with a close range Hidden Power-

Lucani: -Is launched and lands in the center of the arena, fainted-

Lanakila Center

Ever: Ooh, Magnezone. Haven't seen one of those in a while...

 Champion's Arena 

Go Ali!

Ali: -Appears-

Use Earthquake!

Ali: -Causes a tremor-

Magnezone: -Is brought down to the last quarter of their health- <Error! Error!>

-And spins at Ali with a Gyro Ball-

Ali: -Is hit and loses a quarter of his health, but keeps Magnezone pinned with one claw- <Ready!>

Close Combat!

Ali: -Punches Magnezone at high speed-

Magnezone: -Lands upside down- _@_

Kukui: Go Snorlax!

Snorlax: <Grr, you better last long.>

Kukui: Use Heavy Slam!

Snorlax: -Jumps higher than any mon of its body type has any right to before stomping onto Ali so hard he gets partially embedded into the arena- <Weak.>

Ali: -Is brought down to under half heath- <Ack!>

Another Close Combat!

Ali: -Punches Snorlax repeatedly right in the stomach-

Snorlax: -Is launched off but managed to land feet-first, now at half health- <I stand corrected!>

Kukui: Defense Curl into Rollout!

Snorlax: -Curls up before rolling at Ali-

Not this time.

Ali, punch the debris!

Ali: -Does so, the debris causing Snorlax to forcibly break his roll and get launched right above him-

Now!

Work Up into Close Combat!

Ali: -Stamps his feet before jumping up and punching Snorlax again-

Snorlax: -Lands face down, fainted-

Lanakila Center

Ever: ...Wild.

 Champion's Arena 

Kukui: Not bad Tagg and Ali, not bad. Now, Incineroar!

Incineroar: -Appears-

Kukui: Use Cross Chop!

Incineroar: -Crosses his arms before slicing them across Ali, fainting him-

Good work Ali.

Now, Legion!

Legion: -Appears, assuming School form- <WE WILL NOT BE STOPPED HERE!>

Use Surf!

Legion: -Sends out a massive wave-

Incineroar: -Is brought down to half health- <Ack!>

Kukui: Use Sunny Day!

Incineroar: -Creates a mini light orb over the arena-

Earthquake!

Legion: -Creates a tremor-

Incineroar: -Loses another quarter of his health- <Argh!>

Kukui: Flare Blitz!

Incineroar: -Rams Legion while wreathed in flames-

Legion: -It crits, and combined with the Sunny Day boost and Blaze puts Legion in the red- <Ack!>

Sheesh, that Incineroar really is something else.

Endeavour!

Legion: -Glows red and headbutts Incineroar in the face, before getting fainted by the resulting Cross Chop-

The Harbringer: <I need a room for four and a place to buy supplies.>

Aela: <That looks like a merchant over there...>

 Champion's Arena 

Tyto, it's all up to you!

Tyto: -Appears-

U-Turn!

Tyto: -Tries to slash at Incineroar to finish him off-

Incineroar: -Kicks up some debris to block the attack-

Kukui: Now!

-Does the Dark type Z-Move dance, as Incineroar gets a wicked grin-

-A wrestling ring of pure energy surrounds Tyto, as Incineroar runs towards it and jumps off it onto Tyto while wreathed in flames, destroying it-

~Silas can provide for that. He has money. Lots of it.~

"Apparently I'm Uncle Pennybags now."

<Hey these folks know stuff and I wanna learn more, you can get us some rooms no problem.>

"Fine, the Pokemon Center does have spare rooms anyways."

 Champion's Arena 

-The dust clears… and Tyto, while definitely on his last legs, is certainly not fainted-

Tyto: -Protect barrier flickering- <This is familiar... a little too familiar.>

Okay, now it's our turn. Tyto!

-Does the Ghost-type Z-Move dance-

Tyto: -Flies up, knocking Incineroar unto his stomach, as he summons Obscura wreathed feather arrows from his wings and dives down onto him with a massive explosion-

The Harbringer: <Excellent. And money is no problem.>

-He pauses.-

The Harbringer: <I don't suppose you use Septims?>

Amber and Hacks looked over, <Septims?>

~What's that?~

Aela: <That answers that question.>

The Harbringer: <These.>

-He pulls out a small pouch full of gold coins.-

The Harbringer: <It's not much, since I leave most of mine in a safe, but it should be enough.>

 Champion's Arena 

So…

Incineroar: -Is still standing, if smoking, takes a couple steps forward… and then falls at Tyto's feet- @_@

We won!

Tyto: -Crossing his wings- <Truly I am the best hunter in all Alola!>

Kukui: -Recalling Incineroar- Congrats, cousin, looks like we're finally even. As you know I've wanted everyone in the world to know how great Alola's Trainers are, and you and the rest of the J-Team who've come here have helped me do just that.

-Smirking-

But now, I think we know what comes next. Let's get those mons of yours listed in the Alola

-And yet another teleporter shows up, which we both take-

Silas whistles at the coins as he opens the door.

~Oh no it's fine. Silas has plenty of money on hand, he can afford a room for the night no problem.~

"Technically many centers run things for free."

~Still! You can pay.~

Silas shrugs as he gets the Rooms set up.

<Gold coins aren't used here anymore,> Amber added, <We use paper, plastic, and sometimes electric cards.>

Lanakila Center

- Ever and Brie both start cheering-

The Harbringer: <You pay with papers? And...those other things?>

Aela: <Every time you answer a question, I get five more.>

 Lanakila Center 

-Comes back-

Ann: Congrats bro.

Muddy: <Nice to see the new guys carry the day.>

Doc: <Definitely.>

Helios: <Yeah!>

Benkei: <I just wish I'd gotten to fight.>

Thanks guys.

Lanakila Center

-Kaito grins as Tagg returns-

Kaito: Impressive as always, Tagg. I'm reminded we still haven't had a proper battle, the two of us, I don't think.

Po Town — Past

-The Boomburst subsides, and Banshee is burned by the Will-O-Wisp-

Paula: Huh. Interesting.

Banshee: <YEEEOW! HOT! I THINK YOU NEED TO COOL DOWN A BIT!>

Paula: Banshee, that's like, the most overused one-liner pertaining to Fire-types ever.

Banshee: <GIVE ME A BREAK I'M TRYING!>

-He uses Surf-

Lanakila Center

Ever: Tagg that was super awesome!

-if you're curious about what the sound of one hand clapping is, it's Ever right now-

-To Ever and Kaito-

Thanks guys.

Pici: <So where to now?>

There's still a couple places in Alola we haven't visited, so there's that, and then we're out of here.

Lanakila Center

Kaito: Right. I think I should finally head back to the Frontier, honestly, I've been putting off returning for long enough.

Ger Oasis

Phaz: "Alright."

He gives 15 of his red rupees to the guy and takes one of the leather bags.

"We should probably take some time to rest too. Right Colton?"

<Well not paper. That bill was phased out awhile ago in favor of plastic. Money here works as a sort of value note on items and services. In the words of the best seasons of a old cartoon. Gold is still kept as a standard since it doesn't corrode and it's rare, buuuuuuuuut we just use bills and cards instead.>

"Hey I've got two rooms Booked. Down the Hall, R1-5 and R1-6," Silas called to Amber.

Amber smiled and headed after Silas and Hacks, ~We'll take R1-5.~

<Oh you misunderstand,> Iago said, <You both have enough together to pay 100 Rup for the exploration kits and the Room. It's gonna be a few hours before the sun goes down, may as well get yourself ready.>

The Gengar, Wolfe, stood in front of the team, <We'll wait until nightfall, the illusions become stronger and more easily trackable at night.>

The Pen snorted, -Hey Kid, sounds practically gimmicky, as if the Jester wants us to find a way through.-

Jester was taking Gudrunn and Kan'al on a tour of the castle, "-And that's why I want them to find a way through! Great warriors will break the seal in the basement!"

He smiled, "So Gunny! Tell me, how does the concept of me just giving you full out Glitch access sound?"

The Harbringer: <Strange.>

Aela: <I'll fetch the twins.>

-She gracefully sprints out the door and down the street.-

Shaun: "Sounds good. But, uh, do you have a bed or something around here?"
