ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Psyche takes a few more deep breaths. ~All right all right I think I'm good. So, you want to propose to Skye, let's start there?~

PEFE HQ — Malie Branch

-Diane nods-

Diane: Y-yeah. Fuck, give me a sec...

-She takes a drink from whatever she was last drinking.-

Diane: Mm. Fuck, okay, I think I'm... I'm calm. Okay. Right, so... yeah. I want to propose to Skye. Fuck, I'm so in love with her.

Psyche nods. ~Ok, we'll start there. Romantic gestures yeah, I'm good at those, I've done those before. Let's see, let's start with the location. What's a place that means a lot to the two of you?~

PEFE HQ — Malie Branch

Diane: Well, we fuckin... met in Treasure Town, or like, just outside of it. And that's my home and all, so like, it's an option. And then she fuckin... said she liked me and kissed me and shit in... fuck, where was it...

-She gestures vaguely, trying to remember.-

Diane: Fuckin... Celadon, I think? Celadon. She was having this whole sexuality crisis and kept trying to show interest in boys because she didn't think she was the huge fuckin lesbian she is today. Compulsive hetero shit, y'know?

Psyche nods. ~Another thing I need to push out of my mind for the time being or I will begin spiraling again. I probably need help. God I'm glad I'm sober right now or this would be really bad. BUT NOT THE TIME. CELEDON. I can work with that. So ok, you take her to Erika's gym, the gayest place in possibly the known multiverse, and you smooch her there. Give her some really bad lines. Just ham it all the way up. Then, you take her to the top of one of the buildings and you smooch her. Just super cute kissing. And THEN. You do the thing. Ba-bam, ring, knee, whole nine yards.~

PEFE HQ — Malie Branch

Diane: ...Psy. Psyche. Caroline. Babe. You beautiful fantastic person that is literally the best fuckin' idea I've heard holy shit. Holy fuck.

Psyche nods. ~Also, A) as hypocritical as it might be for me to discourage heavy drinking, and B) as entertaining as it might be, please do that bit sober. Otherwise, it will be a monumental disaster, and you will regret it. I love y'all, and I want all of us to be happy, and as such, this needs to go perfect and if it goes perfect we will all be happy forever and no one will ever get mad and leave and be nasty to each other and lead to running away and getting amnesia and spiraling again help~

PEFE HQ — Malie Branch

-Diane hugs Psyche, which manifests more as hugging her head than hugging her body in her current inebriated state.-

Diane: Babe. Babe. It's fine. You're fine. Everything's fuckin... everything's fineeeeeee. This is... fuck I'm excited but also scared but also I know it's gonna be okay and honestly you being so excited about this is so fuckin' relieving like holy shit

Psyche blinks, nestling into Diane's bosom. ~..Can I have some of that booze now? I left mine back in Nimbasa.~

PEFE HQ — Malie Branch

-Diane lets go and reaches for a bottle of rum and a 2-liter of Croagunk Cola, both of which are about a third empty-

Diane: Can you fuckin believe I never tried Rum And Croak until today?

Psyche blinks. ~Baaaaaabe you know me so well. Gimme~ Rum and Croak is my faaaaaavorite. ~ She reaches to pour herself a glass.

PEFE HQ — Malie Branch

-Diane grins, refilling her own drink before passing it off to Psyche.-

Diane: Tingles like a fuckin' toxin. Wonder if ol' Croak made the slogan knowing people loved this shit.

Psyche nods. ~I mean, used to be Croagunk Cola had a little actual Croagunk venom. ...Mixing it with Rum actually was both really popular and very hazardous to your health long term.~

PEFE HQ — Malie Branch

-Diane blinks-

Diane: ...Croagunk Cola is fuckin' hardcore.

-She downs her drink. Presumably the rest of the night is a similar vein of bad decisions.-

Va-Ru

Phaz: "Well that's A Thing®©™. Scarf makes you go furry. Nice?"

She blinks at the remark of not being comprehensible by others.

"Yeah, I remembered I was working on a device to traduct Pokese, and then... Foxeria happened and now I can hear y'all very well without a Psychic, which may be due to the fact that I'm part Kirlia now."

To the Salazzle: "We're not your usual human, to say the least. One of us is a... furry? And the other is half furry. Wait, what do you call someone who's half Kirlia/into the ralts family... Well, more like, err, anthro.I have no idea if it's the right term."

Joyous Forest

Spinme: "I'll stay up a bit more. Mons needs to rest first."

She releases both Beck the Camerupt and Coldplay the Mightyena, and pets them before both of them go to sleep, Spinme leaning on Beck's back and looking a bit around.

The sunrise rises, Jester sits in his palace, sleep escapes him. What is sleep?

He gets up, and stretches, "Alright then... Two Divine Beasts down. Wonder who they are after next."

He sighed, "Let's hope they can do more than 2 today. I want that barrier dealt with..."

The sun shone through the trees, it was morning.

The hot sun blazed down, Riju had not been seen for awhile, a Red painted Sand Pod awaiting the explorers.

Joyous Forest

-Indeed, the sun is shining. But for some reason, it doesn't feel as bright as it should.-

-There's a sense of uneasiness around the Sanctuary Village.-

-The Obscura pulsing around the Purple Sword is starting to climb up Dekarule's roots, rising and falling like breath as it fights the purification.-

-Shun and Gregson are waiting for the others in the corridor outside of Lex's room, the former cradling his ribs with one arm.-

-Lucius mulls over Kaito's words for a long while before shaking his head.-

Lucius: Yeah, I know. I can talk to you, and I'm grateful for that. But this... I think this is something I need to do myself.

-He turns and walks away.-

-Liam is pacing nervously in his room when he hears a knock on the door and rushes to answer. There in the doorway is a sheepish-looking Lucius, scratching the back of his neck.-

Lucius: ...Heya.

Liam: Lucius!

-He throws his arms open to embrace his brother, before remembering how much Lucius hates contact and letting them fall to his side.-

Liam: I was r-really worried...

-Lucius chuckles and pats Liam on the head.-

Lucius: It's okay. I'm sorry about disappearing on you like that. How about I make it up to you with some ice cream and shitty movies?

-Liam smiles.-

Liam: ...That sounds g-good.

-After a night spent eating ice cream and watching shitty movies, Liam is fast asleep on the sofa, a small smile on his face. Were he awake and able to check his bag, however, he would find several Pokeballs missing...-

-...And Lucius's belt coincidentally has several more Pokeballs attached as he walks down the street, duffel bag over his shoulder.-

Lucius: Sorry bro, but they were my team to begin with. Plus I reckon I need them more than you do right now. I'll give them back when I can.

-He taps two of them, sending out a Bisharp and a Porygon-2.-

Falchion: <Lucius? What's going on?>

Lucius: I need to borrow you guys for a while. Call it a raid. Falchion, you can get some of the boys together, right?

Falchion: <I'd rather know what we were getting ourselves int->

Lucius: I'll explain on the way. Besides, I'm willing to bet it's been too long since you guys had a chance to use those blades of yours, right?

-Falchion allows himself a dark smile.-

Falchion: <Far too long.>

Lucius: Excellent.

-He turns to the Porygon-2.-

Lucius: EDI, can you write me a worm?

EDI: <A worm?>

Lucius: A bug, virus, whatever you wanna call it. Something that'll download or destroy as much data as possible no matter where you let it loose. Can you do it?

EDI: <...Lucius, I am concerned that you may not be acting->

Lucius: Can you do it?

EDI: <...Yes. I can do it.>

Lucius: Good. We don't have much time, so get on it. We'll be going this alone, and we've only got one shot at it. You ready, Maul?

-Maul nods, and the party disappears with a blip.-

Va-Ru City

<I think “gijinka” is the most preferred term, if I understand what you’re getting at,> Amaterasu mused as she yawned - she just woke up - electing to forego her preferred moniker for them for the proper term.

She then looked around, her eyes landing on the red pod. She hummed in curiosity, approaching it. <Where did this come from?>

-Ever, who probably did not sleep in the Route 4 Dessert last night, encounters PEFE!Every, who very likely did. She's currently on the phone, so Ever, being a polite person, waits-

-though being also a very difficult person, he eavesdrops-

PEFE!Every: First of all, if I were going to submit my two weeks, don't you think I'd have taken my Dunsparce with me?

-...-

PEFE!Every: What part of "hostage" are you not getting?

-...-

-...-

PEFE!Every: (hastily) Well, I'm sure that has nothing to do with me and is just a strange coincidence. Maybe there's a ghost in there. It is a morgue.

-...-

PEFE!Every: ...Does she now?

-...-

PEFE!Every: (Sparceltongue) {Fuck.}

-...-

PEFE!Every: Yeah, uh, thanks.

-she hangs up-

Ever: That sounded interesting.

PEFE!Every: Who knew making a mon specifically designed to kill gods would upset the gods?

Ever: Don't you guys live, like, next door to the original Kyogre?

PEFE!Every: Well, upstairs...

Ever: ...That's rough, buddy.

PEFE!Every: -double bird combo-

Ever: Well, that's just unfair. I've only got the one arm, and Muninn doesn't have enough fingers to make the gestures.

Muninn: <It's possibly the worst part of having this form.>

Ever: I mean, it's not like like you could do it as a Latios.

Muninn: <We had our own obscene gestures which would have flayed your mind bare.>

Ever: ...Huh.

-PEFE!Every, meanwhile, has been studying Ever's stump curiously-

Ever: ...You know that's super creepy, right?

PEFE!Every: ...Do you know a woman named Lilac?

Ever: Okay first of all don't just say her name like that and second of yes I do how do you know her?

PEFE!Every: Uh, long story. But we should get back to that warehouse.

Nimbasa

Jacob: "Regina."

Regina: <Jacob please no.>

Jacob: "Why do feelings suck so much? At first, it's great! There's this wonderful wellspring of positivity and hope and possibility and then you get nervous and then things don't go the way you want and you're frustrated and-"

Regina: <We can't have this conversation every time you remember what happened to Illumise->

Jacob: "IT HAD SUCH POTENTIAL"

Lilac pokes her head in. "You rang~?"

Ever: Hi! We were just talking about you!

-PEFE!Every blinks at him-

PEFE!Every: Um, hi. Ever and I were just going to go pick up the gift you gave him.

Muninn: (incredulously) <You accepted a gift from Her?>

Lilac smiles. "I'm certain you'll enjoy it dear. I do apologize for my horrendous timing in that regard. I usually am better than that."
