ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Route 17

Deziree: So, Ms. "the Seer", why are you here?

Melanie the Seer: I trust in my Vision, my Vision will protect me. I trust in my Vision, my Vision will protect me...

-Deziree sighs. She takes a Pokeball off her belt and releases a certain Metagross.-

DR. MOBIUS!: <YES!>

Deziree: Help me with this, will you? She's been doing this mantra ever since I froze her solid.

DR. MOBIUS!: <And you want her to answer your questions?>

Deziree: Yes, please.

DR. MOBIUS!: <You have a feather?>

Deziree: What?

Melanie the Seer: I trust my... I trust... heh... I trust my Vision, my... hehehe... heeheeheehee...

DR. MOBIUS!: <YES! SUCCUMB TO THE POWER OF TICKLES! SUCCUMB!>

Deziree: This is so dumb.

DR. MOBIUS!: <Or is it SO GENIUS that it merely SEEMS dumb due to an intellectual integer overflow?!>

Melanie the Seer: Heeheeheeheehahahahaha please, please no hahahahahahahahaha! I'll hah talk hehehehe just please stop hahahahahahaha!

Deziree: No, it's just dumb.

Somewhere

-Hajime is wandering around in this place that is quite possibly Nimbasa and notices Joe and Older!Joe-

-He is unsure whether to say something with what he heard-

 Nacrene 

Ann: -Sitting at a table- So when were you planning on telling your friends about this place?

I haven't decided.

Ann: So just like how most of them don't even know Arundi exists?

I really don't want to risk our enemies finding out about them.

Ann: What would you do if they tried to take them away for some nefarious deed?

The same thing I'd do if someone tried to take Limna or Victini away and I couldn't either dissuade them, discredit them, or have my Psychic-types alter their memories.

-Throws a dart at a target, hitting it dead center-

If need be, end them because anyone trying that hard is up to no good and should be stopped as soon as possible. Hopefully it doesn't ever come to that or the third option, but if that's what I have to do to protect them, then so be it. They can take them over my corpse, and the corpses of the rest of my mons.

Ann: ...Sometimes you can be a bit intense big bro.

-Sighs-

Yeah, maybe.

-Beat-

But when's that damned pizza supposed to arrive, we've been waiting for like a hour.

Ever: ...So, uh, that sure did happen.

Hey, did I show you my new ghost?

Unova Route 5

Lucius: ...I have no idea why today's happening.

-He looks back at Ever. -

Lucius: I haven't seen you for about two years now, so... no.

Ever: I missed you too.

-he sends out Muninn-

Ever: This is Muninn! He tried to kill me once but I didn't agree and now we're friends.

Muninn: <Am I a show Furfrou now?>

Ever: Basically.

Unova Route 9

-Lucius blinks.-

Lucius: ...I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you correctly. Did you just say "tried to kill me"?

Ever: Uh, yeah. See, remember when we were in Orre, and I sort of did the whole...

-he vaguely mimes a tiara, not quite meeting Lucius's eyes-

Ever: So Muninn was disguised as a human, and he was my...

Muninn: <Handler.>

Ever: Sure. But anyway, he was actually a Latios working with Cipher to...some ends.

Muninn: <Long story.>

Ever: Mmm...and my team and I cut his wing off, so he was pissed, so he hunted me down in Hoenn, snuck his way onto my team as a Tropius, and then tried to kill me at the League. Muninn, want to finish the story?

Muninn: <No.>

Ever: But you tell it so well.

Muninn: <I refuse.>

Ever: I insist.

Muninn: <...Ever stabbed me to death with a pair of Skarmory feathers.>

Ever: Right. So anyway, he came back as this adorable ghostie in Alola, and I caught him! And now we're buddies.

-he flops the Latios head of Muninn's costume around. Muninn looks annoyed-

The attacks collide, creating a pillar of smoke. As the smoke clears, Kane and D seem to have disappeared...only for the pair to drop down from the roof.

"My turn~" D declared in a sing-songy tone.

Kane grabs Mecha and Brutaly Swings him around.

Unova Route 5

-Lucius's gaze narrows, and his lips curl into a grim slash.-

Lucius: ...Oh, I remember. That whole encounter was pretty memorable, really.

-He looks down at Munnin with a look that could spoil milk.-

Lucius: ...May I have a moment?

Ever: Yeah, sure.

Muninn: <Wait, what?!>

Ever: Try not to punt him too far. If I get close enough to Driftveil the Ducklett start attacking me.

Muninn: <Hey!>

Ever: What? I'm not the only person you've hurt.

Elizabeth nods. "Well, my license says Elizabeth Davis, but I have a feeling my husband is no longer in the picture. Didn't you say you were going to tell that story, Caroline?"

Psyche sighs and orders a stiff glass of Absinthe. ~I'm ready to forget this night.~

Selena: <We should help him.>

Aurora: <Probably.>

-Neither makes a move.-

Mecha's body is thrashed about and doesn't even attempt to fight back, damaging allies nearby.

Omega withstands it but his body's health pool has dropped.

Mecha's eye is strangely blank

Out pops Mecha from a console, <SIR! YOU HAVE A TRAITOR IN YOUR RANKS! AGAIN!>

Snakeye smiled a bit, Amber spoke up, <We'll gladly help out. Sounds like a amazing adventure ahead!>

<Not anything at the moment, but the Empress must see you soon!> Guard 1 exclaimed with excitement, She continued to look the two over.

<Yes this is amazing day, usually nobody but Salazzles and Salazzle family are allowed into the walls of Va-Ru, but you are such a oddity, you simply must come in!>

Unova Route 5

-Lucius takes full advantage of his Ghost-typing by punting Muninn with a solid running start.-

Lucius: You bastard! Do you have any idea how many of my friends had their minds torn apart by you fucks? How the fuck did you manage to con him into keeping a revolting little creep like you around, huh?

edited 24th Nov '17 3:00:53 AM by Herbert40k

Muninn: <I didn't con him! I tried to kill him like five times after he caught me, and he just kept me around!>

-Lucius's kick breaks the wings of Muninn's rag-

Ever: Oh, whoops. You'll, uh, you'll want to do that twice.

But yeah, no, I think he actually has changed for the better? Or, at the very least, he's incapable of doing more harm at this point.

Unova Route 5

-Lucius takes Ever's advice, but switches to fists - actually, just the one fist, since the other still has a hole in it.-

Lucius: Oh, so he's harmless, huh? He's manipulated and controlled you before, how can you be sure he won't try it again?

Muninn: <Augh!>

-he's sent flying by the punch, though Ever catches him before he can go too far-

Ever: Do you see a tiara? He's clever, and all, but he's not nearly as bright as he thinks he is. ...Also, I had Breeze break into his mind. If you can't trust my Chimecho, who can you trust?

Michael: <Ow.>

-Zelel's unfazed - he can't really feel any pain.-

Unova Route 5

Lucius: I've been asking myself that question a lot lately.

-He keeps trying to swing at Muninn.-

Ever: I guess that's fair.

Muninn: <Palkia damn you! Ever, can I at least fight back?>

Ever: Absolutely not. But that is enough, Lucius. He's under my guard and the guard of my team; He can't do any more harm.

The Emolga

-Kaito's smile slips.-

Kaito: From what I understand, your husband was attacked by wild Pokemon and killed in his own home. It's... well, I was dating Psyche long enough to know that it's something she doesn't like to think about, so I'd recommend we leave it at that. Ho-oh knows we bring up trauma too much when we have these sorts of get-togethers, especially with two Cains at the table.

FEH? No, there's no heroes in this Fe.

-Scarlette frowns-

Scarlette: ...Boy, do I know the J-Team. They're the ones I'm here to fight.

Kane flexes intimidatingly.

"Alright, anybody else want some?"

Casually throws a Snag Ball at Mecha.

Unova Route 5

-Lucius snarls, but manages to restrain himself as he turns to Ever.-

Lucius: ...Please, for the love of Arceus, don't tell me you actually trust this little scumbag. You know he's just biding his time until he gets another shot at killing you.

Unova Route 5

-Sholto comes back post arm burial and wastes little time butting in-

Sholto: <Hey, I know Munnin's bad, but Ever says he's got it handled. Would it kill you again to trust people, dude?>
