ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Ersatz Alliance

Daydre looks a bit surprised at being complemented.

"Oh, uh, thanks. I think I'm gonna buy both of these."

Clavis Manor. Villa. House. One of those

Daydre materializes nearby the food table and starts taking food. Slowly. Like a Normal Person.

Lisa: <Sholto was convinced that your insistence on sensible shoes extended to Pokemon as well. Not that they look bad, but... yeah.>

Maggie: -to Dave- "So, uh, what was that about stuff?"

Clavis Manor

-Pent has wandered in... Or to be more accurate he's handed in his envelope and then wandered into the garden to shadowport into the party to avoid the glut of J-Teamers and other party-goers at the entrance-

-He's entirely just in his normal black hat and coat outfit. But he's added a little sprig of... Pine? to his hat. That's festive, right?-

A certain cowboy is currently trotting up to the Clavis Manor on top a Rapidash. He is wearing a black and grey tux with a black ten gallon with yellow rings around the band. On his feet are black Seviper skin boots with shiny silver spurs. Around his neck is a shiny green bow low tie.

"I've never worn clothes this fancy before. This is what it feels like to have disposable outcome. Feels...dirty."

A masked Incineroar with a tie is walking beside. He keeps itching and tugging at it.

"Stop picking at it. I let you keep the mask on if you agreed to wear it. Not a peep, we're here."

They're here.

Clavis Manor

Selene: Mr. Fivesides, you have grown far to predictable.

-Oh, hey, guess who happens to already be watching that side of the party?-

-And is now playing with Pent's hat.-

Selene: It's rude to keep your hat on indoors, you know.

Clavis Party

-Jason, Maria, Lane, and Iggy are around-

-As is Sylph, though using Night Shade to appear human.-

Garden

-And the Elementals are here.-

Efreet:-wearing a singed hat and tie-<Nonsense! The great Efreet should always be allowed inside!>

Gnome:-each head has a tiny top hat-<Wreck the flooors, ye wood.>
<As would we!>
<We would! We would!>

Undine:-fanciful neck ribbon-<Honestly, Efreet, try and be more..cultured, while we're here?>

Efreet:<The great and mighty Efreet is always a man of culture! Just last week, I, the Great Efreet, sampled fine caviar!>

-Undine facefins-

Undine:<It wasn't caviar, it was a pile of scales and fish droppings.>

Efreet:<There's a difference?!?>

Undine:<Uuuuuuugh.>

Clavis Manor

-Kaito giggles at Thespi and grins, giving Joseph a sort of shoulder-sidehug. The "sweetheart" comment makes them blush a teensy bit more.-

Kaito: Yeah, we've known each other for years. I... gosh, I actually can't remember how we met, one day he just sorta inserted himself in our lives and we got close after that.

-They look at Silas, and shrug-

Kaito: Honestly, that's a bit beyond my knowledge. As far as I know, it is random, but it can be changed e.g. if some weird eldritch being comes and smacks you and turns you into a frog. That happened once.

Mason: ...Ah...

-He gives Ludmilla a pat-

Mason: Unfortunately, the best we can really do is be thankful some of us did make it out alive. Even if some of them are... a bit less noble.

Clavis Christmas Party

-Jacob nods-

"And you as well. I'm glad to see you're in good health!"

"I don't think either of you met Siegfried. He was my star player in the Kanjoh League challenge."

-He gestures towards the shiny Gallade-

Siegfried: -He bows- <A pleasure.>

-And two more guests arrive!!-

Verax: "We're all amongst friends here, no chance of being called out, eh princess? It's nice."

Ezran: "It's... almost too much. But I appreciate not being in freezing Northern Sinnoh, working on the first day of winter."

-Verax is dressed in a double-breasted black suit with gold buttons and gold clockwork patterning on the lapels, with matching slacks and shoes, black dress gloves, and a gold tie with clockwork patterning◊-

-Ezran is dressed in a cobalt crushed velvet suit, with slacks and dress shoes to match, and under it is a white button-up with a ruffled collar and a white ribbon clasped with a sapphire rung with silver around her neck◊-

"... Though, we are the best dressed here."

Verax: "As always, ice queen."

Ezran: "Wine?"

Verax: "And appetizers."

Near Kaito and Meg

-Joe nods-

Joe: Yeah! Um...what do I do here?

Clavis Family Mansion

Gabe: Of course! 🖤 Say, that's a nice watch you've got there.

-La and Ilya enter, the former dressed as he alwas is, the latter dressed into her normal outfit◊ as opposed to her secret agent outfit-

La: Good we got some time off from OWCA, huh?

-Looks at Ilya, who seems worried-

What's wrong?

Human!Ilya: My brother... He should have been here by now...

La: He'll show up. Come on, they have refreshments!

Ilya: -giggles- Refreshments? Sure thing!

-and they head to the dessert stand slash cantina-

Umbra: Nice to meet you, Sigfried!

-hands a Poke Bean from the dessert stand slash cantina-

Dave: Again, it's an old Pokefutures project. A nasty one.

Ersatz Aliance, past

Bartelby: That would be [REASONABLE PRICE]

The cowboy has taken his stead down into the garden.

"No behave Jovi, we are guests. Some of these people we don't like, but that's just how the upper class do. Like one, giant, long di-."

Notices Pent.

"Hi Pent! Long time no see!"

Clavis Manor

Megan: -to Silas- Don't look at me, I'm newer than you are @_@

-beat-

I mean, I know you weren't, but still.

-to Joseph- I'm Megan! I'm a new...applicant? Recruit? Cult inductee?

Pippy: <I'm Pippy! I'm her starter!>

Thespi: <And I am Thespi! Her finisher!>

-she turns upside down-

<Until she catches someone else!>

Megan: Oh gosh, I can't even imagine it...

Clavis Party

-Pent is immediately flustered having his preferred cute girl fiddling with his hat-

D-dear! Hello!? Sorry..?

-He recovers just enough to wave back at the cowboy-

... Howdy Des. It has been a long time...

Near Megan

Joe: Oh! Well, welcome to the J-Team! It's not a cult, I promise!

-smiles at Thespi-

Clavis Manor

-Ludmilla sighs.-

Ludmilla: Yeah. I do miss them, though.

-She winces and massages her temple.-

Ludmilla: I hate being in crowded places...

Selene: Hello, dear~ And hey, Des. You look even more southwestern than Dune does, and he's wearing a bolo tie. A bolo tie.

-She pantomimes putting on a bolo tie, emphasizing how ridiculous it looks on someone of Dune's disposition.-

"So, whose your lady friend?"

A certain shiny Whimsicott is running about. She has a pretty pink bow in her floof. And several earrings. Yeah, she's been lifting jewelry.

Channah: -stops in surprise- Uh. Yeah. It's just, parties. -gestures vaguely at all the people-

Clavis Party

Wandering around the party, one of Amaterasu’s tails grabbed Colt’s shoulder and turned him to someone she was sure looked familiar.

“Heya,” he said as soon as he was close enough to be heard.

Clavis Manor

-Kaito giggles again-

Kaito: I promise, we're no cult. We're just another ragtag bunch of misfits that go around stopping evil. And, evidently, look really good in fancy clothes.

-They give a smile. A few sparkles flicker behind their head.-

Kaito: Anyway, I'm going to go see who else I can find, but I'd love to see you all again soon~ 💜 It was a great pleasure meeting you, Megan.

-Mason raises an eyebrow-

Mason: ...Psychic overload, I'm guessing? Too many thoughts going on?

Evan: Oh, uh.

-He glances at the Omniband.-

Evan: This was, uh, a gift! My grandpa took me out to get it.

Clavis Party

She's my uh... This is Selene, we're dating, yep.

-He just carefully pulls the brim of his hat down because he wants to keep his composure and not be caught blushing-

Silas shrugged, "You know those words should probably make me frustrated and wish to tug out my hair... all I can feel is an intense apathy that nothing will surprise me any more."

~Well at least you got to be a pokemon you like!~

Silas smirked, "I suppose that's true... odd though that I turn into one of your line... think our relationship might have anything to do with it?"

~Considering a few have told us that when you're a Lucario, we look a lot alike, probably. Hell if I was to turn human would I look like your twin brother?~

"Questions for later. We're at a party."

Silas turned to Joseph, "I'm just someone who ended up joining the J-Team by chance."

Clavis's Party

Phaz: "Oh hi Colton, oh hi Amateratsu. How's it going? Oh, yes, I present to you my boyfriend, Sergey."

He hugs Sergey.

Near Silas, Megan

-Joe nods-

Joe: That's how it always starts! That's a good thing.

So, you're an, ah, astronaut, huh? That's also a good thing!

Clavis Manor

Ludmilla: Yeah... Auntie Selene says that it'll get better with time, but right now it just feels like someone's got the music turned up way too high...

Selene: Heeheehee~

-She smiles, puts her hands behind her back, and swings her hips into Pent's side to quite literally throw him off balance.-

Selene: I'm not too proud to admit that making him flustered like that is one of the great joys in life~
