ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Castelia Library Balcony

“To be fair, she did counter with some move I can’t remember that blasted me through a bookshelf, but I took both head-on,” he punctuated with tapping his knuckles against his skull. “so both were with little consequence. My Sylveon used Heal Bell anyway, so it’s all good.

“Sure, I’ll accompy you,” Colt nodded to the Zoroark. “I don’t have anything better to do,” he reasoned.

Muninn: <You know, I believe you're supposed to draw the circle before putting me in it.>

Ever: Don't tell me what to do.

PEFE!Every: Hm. Beeheeyem are unfortunately not found in Kanto, but if we take a quick trip to the general Lilycove area...

Ever: Ugh. I have no good memories of Hoenn. Or Celadon, frankly, but that's a different problem.

Muninn: <Sorry about that.>

PEFE!Every: Same, frankly. I've only been the one time and that was while Revy was holding me captive. But, I have no desire to go back to Unova.

Ever: Why not?

PEFE!Every: Is that a real question?

Rock Tunnel

Sora: I just hope we find something!

Celadon Fountain

Laura: ...Ew!

-before the Murkrow can poop on her she tosses it to Lewis-

Celadon Mean Streets

-A man in a strange... almost looks like a spacesuit? with long green hair walks over to Pent, a strange purple Pokemon at his side-

Man: -makes a strange gesture- Greetings. Do you know much about this dimension?

Pokemon: {Oooh, so that's what they dress like here!}

Celadon Mean Streets

-Pent is... A little concerned. I mean this person looks weird and while that creature by his side kinda looks like a Pokemon he can't be sure so...-

Alright, well... I can't talk for other planets, but where you are now is a human-occupied world that is post-Industrial and pre-Space (which I'm guessing you've achieved given the getup) which is also home to intelligent wildlife that form professional bonds with humans for various purposes ranging from pets and specialized workforce all the way to highly regulated formal combat. The big sky thing isn't normal, we've recently had a major dimensional breach that should end up fixed in the next six to twelve months (months defined by a roughly twelfth rotation around the local star).

-He takes a moment to breathe-

Additionally even without the sky breach this world experiences frequent dimensional incursions with variable levels of compatibility with our world.

... So! What's your world like?

Rock Tunnel?

Alyesha: "Maybe, maybe, let's explore everything~"

And with that, Alyesha took Krasnaya up in her arms, giving her the flashlight

Clavis Party

Echo: Hmm... have you met Alyssa? She had a very similar childhood, and likewise has only been particularly accustomed to human languages for a few years.

I'm Sportsballacus

-Creepfrog narrows his eyes.-

Creepfrog: <Really? What's that behind you then?>

Celadon fountain

Homer, handing Laura a napkin: Yeah, honestly, that one... it doesn't seem to bright.

-"the murkwo starts pecking the air"-

Homer: So... is that money still on the table ?

Lewis: Of course it i- Ah! -catches the bird and holds it at arms-length- ...Eurgh.

Arkady: -gives the Murkrow the evil eye, which fails because Overcast Form-

Channah: -nonplussed- Um, okay? Well, don't feel obligated to hang out with me or anything. All I'm gonna do is wander around for a bit.

Sol ponders.

Solana: No. I can't say I have....

Amber: Huh? Behind me-

Amber looks behind her, the fabric of timespace warbling and warping around in odd ways.

Amber: Uwaah! I can't do something like that!

Suddenly, the sky "opens" and a small being "falls" out, the portal closing as soon as it opened.

The small, confused creature that fell out of the hole pushes itself up and staggers to its "feet". The sun reflecting off every sharp corner of the critter's body!

Kartana: {Hark! It seemeth yond I has't fallen into new lands!}

Celadon Fountain

Rod: ...Yes. This was, admitedly, not your fault.

-hands Homer a stack of bills-

Moon Tribe Ruins

-The group comes across... A sleeping Driftloon? Odd, those aren't native to here-

Celadon mean streets

-The man stares through his visor-

Man: ...Explanation sufficient. My name is Squirps Huragok of the Ultra Recon Squad. This is my Pokemon partner Mauve. I am here because of the dimensional rift you mentioned.

Mauve: {It's like, messing everything up!}

Moon Tribe Ruins

Alyesha still kept taping all of this as Yuri slowly got closer to the Pokémon

Yuri: <Hello?>

Mean Streets of Celadon

Ah okay...

-Wait hold on. That creature is a Pokemon but it's not speaking like one and it's an unknown species and this guy said he was from an Ultra Recon Squad...-

Are you a squad that performs recon on Ultra Space or a squad from Ultra Space performing recon on us?

Clavis Party

Echo: I definitely recommend meeting her, then. She's cousins with a certain scruffy pan-Auric I've heard you're a bit better acquainted with.

-She smiles and takes a sip of her own drink-

Sporb

-Creepfrog staggers back-

Creepfrog: <Hey whoa!>

-He takes a fighting stance-

Creepfrog: <Never seen one of these things before!>

-The hourglass symbol on his chest suddenly flickers red.-

Celadon

Megan: Oh yeah!

-she hands Homer another handful of bills-

Pippy: <And I'm pretty sure we have some berries and stuff to spare...>

Solana perks up at the mention of Vierr

Solana: Oh she's Vierr's cousin? Well then, I should make time to meet her one of these days.

She pauses to take a sip of her drink.

Solana: I wonder how the kid is doing, yannow.

The small but sharp creature notices Amber and Creepfrog, and takes up a defensive stance towards them!

Kartana: {Halt! Who is't art thee!? C'rtainly nay being native to mine own lands! Pardon me yourselves!}

Amber: It looks pointy!

Celadon fountain.

-"Homer gladly takes the money, tears in his eyes"-

Homer: Thank you guys so much, you have no idea how much this hel-

-"the murkrow jumps onto Homers arm and starts trying to eat the money"-

Homer, annoyed: Would somebody please take this bird?

Lewis: -thinks for a moment, then throws a pokeball at the Murkrow, capturing it successfully- Problem solved. Oh, I should take it to the cathedral for a proper Naming. -to Homer- Anyway! You're very welcome, you all deserve a suitable reward for your show. I'm Lewis, by the way.

Arkady: <Arkady here.>

Celadon Fountain

Rod: Again I'm Rod.

Laura: And I'm Laura!

Rod: Question, have you seen our father? He was apparently sighted in this area very recently...

Moon Tribe ruin

Driftloon: <Zzzzzzhuhwaaaaaaaa AAAAAAAH! HUMANS! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!>

Celadon Mean Streets

Squirps: Regarding your query... Positive for the latter. Why do you ask?

Shaun: <Mmmph. I don't even have my Poké Balls.>

-An Aegislash comes back into the room and grabs the armband, sliding it back on.-

Aegislash: <We continue forward. You don't seem concerned that I just turned into a werewolf and took care of five warriors.>

-Muninn and Marmalade are watching television, while Ever and PEFE!Every are chatting-

PEFE!Every: I mean, I guess I could use a different Psychic-type, but Beeheeyem are so much better at this sort of thing than most.

Ever: Does Tagg have a Beeheeyem?

PEFE!Every: I don't think so. Anyway, I can't imagine Dr. Tagg would approve of what I'm about to do.

Ever: Uh, well, now that you've said that incredibly ominous sentence, what are you planning?

PEFE!Every: So, Chaos, or at least this fragment of it, derives its abilities from the memories of those it fights. See, screaming at me with my own voice after determining what I sound like when in pain, which is currently its best defense against me because I managed to keep it from learning about my work. Further, its manifestation of Latios properties in your presence.

Ever: Good thing I was unconscious most of the time we were fighting Dialga.

PEFE!Every: ...What?

Ever: Haha, yeah, long story.

PEFE!Every: Anyway, by constructing and displacing a set of highly specific memories inside a temporary vessel, I believe I can mold the fragment of Chaos into something that can be used as a weapon.

Ever: Pardon?

PEFE!Every: For instance. A memory of being electrically shocked would likely induce the fragment to produce electricity. If this memory is the only one to which it has access, it will have no other options, and given its general bent towards immediate aggression it will likely not stop to consider the pointlessness of constant electrical discharge. I believe that I can siphon this for power.

Ever: ...You're turning it into a battery.

-PEFE!Every's eyes light up-

PEFE!Every: Good, you're catching on.

Ever: Okay, but you keep mentioning this memory of being electrically shocked. How are you going to put Chaos in a box with something with only one memory, let alone such a weird and specific one?

PEFE!Every: Which is where the Beeheeyem comes in. It can take that stimulus from my memories, and implant it in an artificial lifeform, which I can seal in the battery to attract Chaos's attention.

Ever: ...It sounds to me a little like you're planning to shock yourself and then make a homunculus whose only memory will be of that electric shock.

PEFE!Every: Hmm, essentially, yes.

Ever: ...I don't even know where to begin with that.

Homer, to Lewis: Thanks, name's Homer.

Homer, to Rod and Laura: What does your old man look like?

-"Anubis is currently attempting to wake Zags up"-

-"Zags continues to sleep soundly, cuddling an unconscious murkrow."-

Celadon Streets

-Pent takes in this fresh bit of evidence-

... I was not aware there was civilization in Ultra Space- Actually hold on there's definitely at least one civilization but I meant human civilization.

Moon Tribe Ruins

Alyesha: "We are exploring the ruins here"

Moon Tribe Ruins

Driftloon: <What do you->

-looks around-

<Oh hell, how did this facility get HERE? I was just a guard! Also a Latias but that was a moot point when I died.>

Dragur

Zumi: I'm concerned!

Celadon Fountain

Rod: Tall, moustached, almost egg-shaped-

Laura: Looks like a video game character!

-Rod sighs-

Celadon Mean Streets

Squirps: There is at least one. It is called Ultra Megapolis. It sits in a world robbed of its light by the Blinding One.

Mauve: {It's really pretty though!}

Celadon Streets

Huh... Heard rumors of a world like that... Anyway I guess that's alright. Not sure how well you can help seal things up because honestly no solution beyond "punch the guys who started it" has made itself clear.
