ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

 Marvelous Bridge, yesterday 

-To Golias-

Yeah, just don't be too surprised if people might know a bit more about where you come from than you think.

 Tagg's Apartment, Nacrene, today 

-Is currently looking at a map of the world after having presumably allowed said traveling partner of more than a week into the apartment, probably trying to decide where to go next-

 Yangplane 

Ann: -Sighs as the plane descends- Who wants to bet they'll try attacking us the moment we're far enough from the airport?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Zoroark Green: -to her Mobian seatmate- <-and have you ever thought about how fun it would be if the plane crashed into the water, since they say our seats can be used as floatation devices so that means we're all sitting in little boats and isn't that just the cutest?>

<Oh, did you have swimming lessons as a kid? If not maybe you should use the in-flight wifi to read up on some strokes. Just in case, you know?>

<I hope we don't crash land on the ground, especially crashing into a cliffside, that would just be the worst.>

<Why haven't there been any loop-de-loops yet? You'd think there'd have been at least one sudden wormhole opening in the sky they'd have to dodge rapidly. I'd take a barrel roll too, I'm not picky.>

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

-The guard turns to face Mason.-

Lucius: Sure, I guess. What're you-

-His face creases into a frown of recognition.-

Lucius: ...Oh. It's you. Tall buff illusion dude.

-Shard(?) shakes her head at Janet, as if trying to banish some troublesome memory.-

Shard(?): No. Yes. Was with Illusion, but... different. Things are different now.

-She turns around.-

Shard(?): ...Come with me.

-She stalks down the corridor without waiting to see if Janet is following.-

-the Pheromosa is still leading Mezzo around by the hand, when she opens her eyes-

Mezzo: I was having the greatest dream... there was this beautiful woman in white, and she was taking me away to...

Pheromosa: é♠▼√ ↨♣∞é≈

Mezzo: What the hell.

-she struggles, but can't escape the bug's grip-

Pheromosa: ≈♠ ◙♠√ ♂☣•♦

Mezzo: Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no no no no no we are not doing this. Let me go right now.

Pheromosa: ↨♠◙♂≥▼☣≈ ↨♣∞é≈

-Mezzo attempts to slap the Pheromosa with her free hand; it easily dodges out of the way-

Pheromosa: §♠≥ ¶∞éé ♦☣√≥♦◙ ♣♠♀☣

Mezzo: Yeah, well ♣♠♀☣ you too.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Team Iron Safehouse

-Mason blinks-

Mason: Oh, hey, should have figured it was you. Damn, guess someone other than Alonya recognizes me here after all.

Corrin: Sorry, I'm lost here... who's this guy?

Janet looks to her precious pooch, who seems to be shaking a little bit, and gulps.

Janet: A-as you wish ma'am.

Janet pets her Herdier to calm him, and follows Shard. The Herdier barks weakly, but follows after his master.

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Megan: Oof!

-she clings- Oh wooow...

-Vee laughs delightedly, then hops into the air, twisting and dissolving into a thousand droplets of water that swirl and glitter like a galaxy-

-Pippy, on the tail end of the max speed boost from earlier, pushes off and twirls lightly through the air, laughing as well-

Tripod: -largely unaffected, chirps happily-

Pollen: -wings fluttering, losing balance- <aaaaaaaaaa>

-and she likewise hits the ceiling-

-Megan laughs-

Megan: I'd be glad to take you up on that offer! Now or whenever!

No mind to think. No will to break.

Yangverse Airlines

-The Employees next to Green and Alice are visibly disquieted-

-The plane lands-

-Everyone files out and leaves the airport-

Mobius Employee: ...

... ...

... ... ...

...Oh what the hell. GET THEM

-Well, Ann was right-

-The Mobius employees start sending out mons, or mobilize if they are mons-

Contact Me!

-Alice smiles, and sends out a Roserade.-

Alice: I was wondering when we'd get to this part. Arsenic?

Arsenic: <Yes, ma'am?>

Alice: Magical Leaf.

-Arsenic dutifully bombards the Mobius Employees with a volley of razor-sharp leaves.-

Lucius: Alonya? Why would she-

-For once, something clicks in his tiny lizard brain.-

Lucius: ...Aaaaah, I get it. You must be that brother she keeps talking about. And you...

-He narrows his eyes at Corrin.-

Lucius: ...I don't know you. The J-Team must be pretty fucking confident if they're letting newbies go on raids in cosplay, though.

-Shard leads Janet down the corridors until she eventually comes to a shipping container - unremarkable, save for the fact that it seems to be reinforced and has about half-a-dozen locks on its hatch. She fiddles with each with trembling hands until, after about five minutes, the door swings open. Inside there's little but frost, a damp mattress, and the dim light of a Froslass toying with a Will-O-Wisp. Only once the door has been shut and locked does Shard(?) peel off her mask and let it drop to the floor.-

Lucille(?): ...Sorry 'bout that. Seeing you... I figured she was gonna freak...

Silas smirked, "Well to start off. Remember there is no friction in space, every action has a equal and opposite reaction, your own limbs are how you control your movement."

Silas raises his hands a bit and begins to spin, he lowers them and stops, "Counteracting forces for example."

"Try light pushes, how much energy you impart is how much energy you carry in momentum."

Silas pushes off the ceiling and sticks to the floor, of course he clicks his boots together and sticks, "Magnet boots help."

Yangova Airport

In unison, every single Pokeball Colt had on his person opened.

Rei caught a glowing Pyukumuku before throwing her skyward and executing a Fake Out, throwing whatever she claimed, if at all, behind her like clockwork.

Helmsman surrounded himself with a geyser for Swords Dance before removing his sword from the ground and rushing at some random mon with a <Get hype!>, his Mystic Water dangling from the hilt, buffing his Waterfall to absurdity.

Julius raised a Protect so 9-Volt and Amaterasu could snipe Pokemon with Thunder and Fire Blast from behind him, Wise Glasses and Charcoal working overtime under the heat of Ammy's Drought.

Sylveon silenced a fair collection of 'mons with a Pixilated Hyper Voice, drawing on her Quick Claw so she would be heard first.

Natu spoke a Lucky Chant before striking the opponents with an Ominous Wind.

Sunny drew up a Psychic Terrain before striking at some 'mon with a Psyshock, managing to somehow claim some berry she didn't recognize.

Sean materialized, Expert Belt around his waist before joyously striking at opponents with Metal Claw, each hit stronger than the last.

Colt drew his scarf and placed it on his neck. Talbain summoned some spires to bifurcate for Swords Dance before lobbing the shards creating at his opponents for a Rock Slide.

Phaz: "Send it to Pent guy, C-Spinme, and at lest two others. If you send it to more than the half of the current team, that mean that even if they split up, at least one team will get one."

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't gold

Team Iron Safehouse

Mason: You know, you're the second person to mention she talks about me a lot. I hadn't realized she didn't disown me.

Corrin: Cosplay...?

Mason: Oh, right! That's not cosplay, she's 100% the real deal. You know Robin, right? Same deal as him.

Yangverse — Outside the Airport

-Although Kai needed Diane to nudge her awake, she's now bright and cheery and 100% ready to kick some Mobius butt.-

Kai: You know, I have the distinct feeling you folks don't know what you're up against. Guess I'll just have to see what you all bring to the table, huh?

-She, Dylan, and Ellen all get ready to send out a Pokemon each, while Skye and Diane both put their hands on their armbands.-

Ellen: Now, this is bringing back memories. When's the last time we had a Multi Battle?

Dylan: I think it was '96.

Ellen: That sounds about right.

Diane: Think they'll attack a couple of girls who aren't technical trainers?

Skye: We'll just have to see how much of a collective death wish they have.

Janet blushes slightly.

Janet: Oh no, she's cute. Lookin' a little worse for wear though...

Janet shakes her head, looking at Lucille with a mix of confusion and fear. Her coffee mug shaking.

Janet: I'm sorry, ma'am, but who would freak if they saw me? That's rather terrifying to ponder that somebody here knows me from one of my previous places of employment and has it out for me, a random nobody grunt who hasn't done much wrong... I'd like to think that at least...

The Herdier cautiously sniffs at Lucille.

Channah: -perched uneasily on a chair or something- Where do you have in mind next?

Channah: Oh. Did you come through the entralink or something?

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Zoroark Green: <Oh, well.>

-she grabs her hat and stuffs it in a Mobius Grunt's face, then uses Thief on another Grunt-

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

-Lucius shakes his head at Mason.-

Lucius: Disown? Dude, I was the one who encouraged her to talk to you in the first place. She dotes on you. It's kinda adorable, honestly.

-He blinks at Corrin.-

Lucius: ...Huh. Weirder things have happened, I guess. And if you haven't heard of cosplay, go look it up. It's kinda great.

-Lucille(?), still slightly flushed from wearing the mask, brushes a strand of stringy dark hair out of her eyes.-

Lucille: Shard. Shard would freak, seeing someone ex-Flare like you. It... ah, forget it. Nothin' to worry your pretty little head about. It's hard to explain, and you'd think I was batshit if I did.

-She chuckles bitterly.-

Lucille: Not that you'd be wrong.

-Corrin blinks-

Corrin: ...O-okay then.

-Mason is quiet for a moment.-

Mason: ...What has she said about me?

D is lounging in his office while Kane and Pria are going through his wardrobe.

He decides to text someone.

GIVE ME YOUR FACE

Janet gulps.

Janet: O...kay then...

Janet's eyes dart back and forth behind her shades as she contemplates the person in front of her, gesturing with the fingers on her free hands.

Janet: Wait... then if Shard's not you, but you're wearing the armor that she wore... Who are you then?

The Herdier gets closer to Lucille and sniffs her.

Unova Airport - Turf War Battle

Ugh... Long haul gives me such aches...

-He blinks wearily at the battle just breaking out and sighs-

Alright, I'll guard the exit in case any grunts try and run.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Astolfo is pat. Tamamo: "That's how you're going to be then☆" -She draws out a mirror from... hammerspace, apparently, smacking the nearest Grunt in the face with it.-

Masako: <Oh Arceusdamnit.> -She fires a beam of ice at a nearby Mobius mon.-

Astolfo: <Rude people!> -She uses Shadow Sneak on a Mobius mon.-

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

-"A group of grunts are crowded around in a circle, gocking at the small ghost Pokémon floating in the center."-

Grunt 1: Oh my god she's so tinny.

Grunt 2: Her eyes are huge, it's adorable.

Morrigan, watery eyed: <why are there so many people, why are they all staring at me? Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry, I'm sorry>

Bubbles: Yep, this is my adorable new baby

Mor, crying: <~can I go back to Homer now~>

Becky: She's not yours, now stop showing her off, she's clearly uncomfortable.

Carl: I'm not sure Punk is going to be happy if they see us standing around like this

Let's all have fun

Yangverse Unova

-Mobius employees and their mons are sliced by the Magical Leaves. One is slapped by a mirror. More are hit by the other attacks. -

-A Houndoom sends a Fire Blast-

-A Blastoise a Hydro Pump-

-A Kommo-o a Clanging Scales-

-And various others-

-Green manages to steal... It looks like a pointy gray rock?-

Mobius Employee: Hey! Give that back! That's important!

Yangova Airport

Sylveon managed to prime a Light Screen, but only after a large portion of the attacks had gone through.

Helmsman only now noticed the Drought hindering his Waterfall before he instead swung at the Houndoom with unaltered seamitars.

Julius dropped the Protect so he could tackle the Kommo-o to the ground and have him stop rupturing everyone’s ears.

Amaterasu had stopped lobbing Fire-type moves to get a Hypnosis flare active before lobbing it at the Blastoise. He’d be a nuisance, no doubt.

Sunny fired a Flamethrower as Rei also rained an Icicle Crash.

Natu did not get a boost from Ominous Wind, so he tried again.

Pyukumuku landed on 9-Volt’s back, still glowing with Helping Hand as he sent a Bug Buzz at somemon.

Talbain chased down the Rock Slide to whatever target and introduced himself with a Fire Fang.

He couldn’t speak for his team, but he was having fun. He should do this again sometime.

Grand Articuno

Lucario thus sent the message to the people described.
