ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Grand Articuno

Colt drew both his phone and the Teal Scarf and shrugged “ The only question is which of these holds less risk, and if Jester will actually go through with this. ” He considered.

Virbank

Barometz: <I'm a fairy! Among other things...>

He then gets hurt by the Roundhouse Revenge. It'd probably have knocked him out if he weren't a fairy, but as-is, he holds on.

Barometz: <Ngh...>

He's about to use a move, but Hajime cuts in.

Hajime: "Stun Spore!"

Barometz: <That... might work better.>

He tries scattering some paralyzing spores around Chopper.

-Jamie's just trying to wrap his head around everything.-

-Shaun's screeching at Celena, who has a confused look on her face.-

GUMI!Celena: "I don't know what to say"

-The barn owl rolls his eyes and flies at a bubble.-

Gumi!Celena: "..."

-She tries to stop him but ends up in her own bubble.-

Silas!Shaun: "WHAT THE FUCK"

Xenomorph!Celena: ...

Lucina!Tsunami: "With me!"

 Humilau, probably last night 

-To Channah-

Oh yeah, that place back in Coumarine with the snooty waiters. Definitely prefer here to there.

Somewhere, Last Night

Giselle: Well, I just got word from the Wanderer.

Trina: Yeah?

Giselle: They did it. Kuu's dead.

Trina: Wooo!

...What now?

Giselle: The Emzians will take care of it themselves. Consider this one less potenitual distraction from our mission.

Trina: We're gonna need less yeah...

-she thinks-

How are we gonna confront Joseph anyway?

Giselle: That we still have to figure out...

Channah: Coumarine, that's what it was. -sits back in her chair- Glad I met my friends there, but Kalos was weird.

Celadon training grounds

Anubis, to Vee <You know, just because you cross out your words, doesn't mean I can't read them.>

-"Anubis looks over to where everyone is and notices Melly"-

Anubis: <A wish huh...?>

-Anubis used wish-

Melly: <And f@#$ you for- what the f@#$, WHAT THE F@#$? WHY THE F@#$ CAN'T I SAY F@#$ING F@#$? THIS IS F@#$ING BULL SH@#, F@#$ I CAN'T SAY SH@# EITHER, WHAT THE F@#$?>

Anubis: <Oh my gods it worked.>

-Anubis's wish was granted-

Homer, to Blitz: Oh yeah, I'm actually a little surprised, don't most breeders have a six man party?

-Kai is in her room, going over everything and double- and triple-checking her supplies for the multiverse expedition.-

 Humilau, last night 

-To Channah-

To me it was a dream, and in some cases a nightmare.

-Sighs-

Hopefully I don't run into another white supremacist who wants my girlfriend again.

Nimbasa Pokemon Center

-A scythe is suddenly at Kai's throat-

Nimbasa Center - Kai's Room

-Kai squeaks, goes wide-eyed, and looks up at the owner of the scythe-

Nimbasa Center

-Looking down at her is Yvonne-

Yvonne: -grinning- Spooked you, huh?

Nimbasa Center — Kai's Room

-Kai just sorta makes a distressed Kai noise and waves weakly at Yvonne-

Channah: Mm, 'specially now, on a break. Any ideas where you're gonna go after this?

Nimbasa Center

-Yvonne removes the scythe from Kai's throat-

Yvonne: Simply put, I was bored and wanted someone easily spooked. I had a lot of candidates but you were one of the few I knew personally.

-Megan, Thespi, and Vee walk by-

???: -lazily- T Ms! Get yer T Ms here!

-they look over, and see:-

-a sign saying Temmie's Terrific T Ms-

-with a lady leaning languidly against the wall next to it-

???: -grinning- Hey there~ Wanna be one of the first customers of the Celadon Expanded TM Shoppe?

-Megan and Vee look at each other, and Thespi pipes up-

Thespi: <Ooh, let's go let's go let's go! Mysterious store! Plot trinkets! Techniques to conveniently pull out of our a<Language~> if we're ever in a tight spot! Come on come on come on!>

Megan: -chuckling awkwardly- Sure, let's check it out!

-they head inside-

-upon entering, they see shelves of assorted T Ms, loosely organized-

???: Sorry for the mess, we just moved in. I'm Temmie, as you may have guessed.

??? Temmie: So, welcome! What can I help you with? Feel free to look around, pick out what you like!

-Megan moves over to a rack-

Megan: -eyes widening- Oh wow, are these first-generation T Ms?

Temmie: Yep! Some from the original production, some from the legacy rerun~ We've got all sorts!

-Megan picks up a Teleport TM-

Megan: This could really come in handy... Especially since I just realized I don't have any fliers...

-an Abra and a Riolu come up-

Riolu: ~Hello!~

Abra: ~Welcome.~

Temmie: My lovely shopkeeps can show your fellas around! Split up, cover some ground~

Megan: Wanna go check it out?

Thespi: -eyes sparkling- <YES!>

Vee: -laughing- <I'll go with the kid. You've got the rest with you?>

Megan: Of course!

Vee: <Then we're off~>

-they float and scamper off, the Abra and Riolu following-

-Megan browses for a while-

Megan: -picking up another TM- Oh, wow, you weren't kidding–I've never seen a Wish TM before. Too bad all the Pokémon on my team who can learn it already know it.

Temmie: -chuckling- Oh, I doubt anymon on your team knows this one.

Megan: Um?

Temmie: -grinning widely- What you have in your hand there is a genuine, bona-fide, ninth-level Wish TM.

-beat-

-beat-

Megan: ...what

-meanwhile-

-Thespi and Vee reach a set of shelves some distance away-

Vee: -examining some T Ms, hits on one- <Sheer Cold? Geez, this could turn some heads.>

Abra: ~Of course.~

Vee: -looking at another one- <Reflux?>

Abra: ~Think of it as a Dark-type Hyper Beam. Unpleasant for me, of course, but perhaps you could find some use from it.~

Vee: <Hm...>

Thespi: <Ooh, there's so much stuff! What looks like it would be plot-relevant...?>

-she spots some red-and-black lettering some distance away, and floats over to it, the Riolu climbing up behind-

Thespi: <Let's see!    Peck   ,    String Shot   ,    Pound   ...>

Thespi: ?

Vee: <...Megavolt. "200 power, targets all enemies, turns the field into Grassy Terrain, indefinitely. (Possibly super-effective on Dragon-types (or things that look dragon-y))"...?>

Abra: ~We lacked the resources to make this into a Z-Crystal. (This move may be restricted to those of Viridian ancestry.)~

Vee: <...>

Thespi: <So what makes these different from Peck, String Shot...?>

Riolu: <They're    menacing   .>

Thespi: <...ah, but they are waiting to be turned into moves of hope and joy by determined heroes, yes?>

Riolu: <No, they're just really    menacing   .>

Thespi: <...>

Vee: <...what kind of operation is this, anyways? Some of these don't exactly seem...League-approved.>

Abra: ~Your point?~

Vee: <...you know, I'm having some second thoughts, and I'd rather not have them turn into buyer's remorse. I'm just gonna...>

Abra: <No.>

-and she runs-

Vee: <THESPI, IT'S TIME TO–>

Abra: <Shit.>

-and Vee collapses-

Thespi: -stares in horror, then turns to the Riolu- <This...this isn't a mysterious relic shop, is it? It's a Villain Store!>

Riolu: <Um.>

Thespi: -shaking- <It's an Enemy Encounter.>

-beat-

-and she bolts-

Riolu: <H-hey! Stop right there!>

Thespi: -pained- <Aaaaugh!>

-but she keeps going-

-gingerly placing the Wish TM back on the rack-

Megan: This seems a bit...

Thespi: <Megaaaan!>

Megan: !

Thespi: -coming up- <They've got Vee! We need to issue a Call to Arms! Text the J-Team! Something! Anything!>

Megan: What–

-she turns to Temmie, pulling out a Pokéball-

-Temmie is faster on the draw, pulling out a Pokéball and sending out a Smeargle-

Temmie: Now hold it right there.

-Megan freezes-

Temmie: Now, I hoped to make a sale. Nice and legit, everyone leaves happy. Now...I'm going to make a sale.

-she grins-

Nice and legit.

-it's horrifying-

Everyone leaves happy~

-the Abra blips in with the sleeping Vee-

Temmie: Now, there are two ways we can do this. One, my Abra scrambles your brains and you leave. Nice and happy. Two, you get out of here, your memories intact, but if you try to snitch, what comes out is this:

-she pulls out a TM-

Megan: Wh-wha–

-Temmie hits a button on the TM, and this plays:-

Thespi: -sobbing in anguish- <She's gonna turn us into MEMES!>

Temmie: So. What'll it be?

Megan: Um– I–

Hyp and Tuff are struck, surprisingly the only thing different is now they are each other.

Daydre tumbles out of another bubble, she is now back to human shape, though for some reason, her arms are long springs with curled fists at the end.

Reality!Blight would blink, if Its eye could, "This is insane."

The other arrows miss, Fire!Blight turns to the Trevenant and begins to spit flame, "Very good. Attacking me directly."

Another dog treat strikes Colton as Jester leans over, "You know I can hear you..."

Something slithers out of their shadows, it stands up, revealing a green eyed thing.

"I got this bad boys all over the island... I'm know your every move. So you know about my little toy in the cellar?"

He frowned, "I'm afraid I'm going to have to limit that one wish now."

Nimbasa Center

-Kai releases a breath she didn't realize she was holding, and composes herself-

Kai: Consider me thoroughly spooked. Um, so, hi, uh... Yveltal?

Celadon

-Some birds fly away from the shop as Megan's assailant approaches.-

-And then one flies toward them!-

Bronze Bird Swellow: <Halt, criminals! Back away from the blue girl!>

Yvonne: Yes, but you can call me Yvonne right now.

Grand Articuno

Colt paused and let this dog treat fall to the ground, for it striking his head was but an omen.

Colton facepalmed.

Both dog treats would be sent flying into the Guardian’s walls, shatting into dust that settled due to the reverberations forcing the crumbs back in until the air settled, which took a full 17 seconds. Jester would probably collapse regardless of the power increase, and Phaz would also likely be sent to the floor, or even wall.

The Articuno suffered turbulence once again, much more noticable than the time prior. Knowing one possible candidate for the wish, Colt bit his tongue before saying anything, managing to keep it all secret.

 Humilau, last night 

-To Channah-

Hmm... maybe to Lentimas, or...

-Trails off a bit-

Nimbasa Center

Kai: O-okay. Yvonne. Pretty. Pretty name.

-She clears her throat-

Kai: S-so. Um. How goes, uh, reaping or whatever you've been up to?

Shaun: "YOU FUCKING THINK?"

"I LOOK LIKE AN AISMOV CAPTAIN"

"JAMIE LOOKS LIKE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF POKÉMON BIOLOGY WAS LIKE HUMAN BIOLOGY"

"TSUNAMI IS ARCEUSDAMN LUCINA"

"OH, AND CELENA'S A FUCKING XENOMORPH"

"HELL, I ACTUALLY THINK SHE'S A QUEEN"

"NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL"

Especially Silas's body emoting this much

-Silas!Shaun adds blaster fire to the attacks.-

Yvonne: Fine, fine. You?

Temmie: What?

Thespi: -looking up- <We're saved!>

-Megan pulls out a second Pokéball and tries to recall Vee-

-the beam surrounds her, and-

Temmie: Stop that.

-Vee pops out of the recall beam and slams into Megan, still asleep-

Megan: -falling over- Oof!

Abra: <Shit, it's the fuzz.>

Riolu: -catching up- <Maybe?>

-they fire an Aura Sphere and a Psychic blast at the strange Swellow-
