ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Zoroark Green: -makes a Three-Point Landing in front of Kai-

<Hey, you have a team of six Pokémon, right?>

Yangilau Airport

-Pent continues maintaining a cordon around the battles to help keep the inevitable gawkers to a minimum-

-It kinda felt weird seeing all these people around who just outright don't notice that it's a J-Team battle. The group must not have much of a presence in this world...-

-The Thunderbolt passes straight through the illusory form of the Avenger as a Zoroark formerly disguised as a plushie fires a Focus Blast at the Exploud.-

Fulgrim: <Ear filters, idiots. Not that this is exactly fun for me either.>

-Meanwhile, the real Avenger drops their SEP field and attempts to tackle Red Metal Guy while looking over at Fulgrim.-

The Avenger: Fulgrim! Mon in distress, on your right!

Fulgrim: <Urgh, fine...>

-He reluctantly darts away to try and drag Bad Dog out of immediate danger.-

-Lucius nods at Mason.-

Lucius: ...I will.

-He frowns.-

Lucius: But you know what? You don't owe the gods shit. They brought me back from the dead, and you know why? Not because a shitheel like me deserved a second chance, but because it fit with their story. You think I got any say in it? You think there's any justice or reason to it? Of course not, it's a crapshoot. It's whatever entertains them. Good people die and stay dead, while the bad ones get second chances heaped upon them because that's how things are supposed to go. Well, I'm not gonna be a part of their story. I'm the master of my own destiny now.

-He glances down at his phone.-

Janet looks a lil down at the rejection of her coffee, but recalls her offer all the same.

Janet: Huh, strange. Again, human beings are funny like that.

Janet laughs, looking down at her coffee.

Janet: Ah. Well, I used to do coffee runs back in Illusion. One of the chicks under Shard's eye had an itching for coffee, and since she forbade her goons from entering the staffroom, well-

Janet cuts herself off and muses into her coffee.

Janet: ...That's ancient history now, I guess. Best to forget it, too much sorrow.

The Herdier tilts his head quizzically and cutely whines at the ghostie.

-Lucille looks up at Janet.-

Shard: ...S, right? Amnesiac, Kantonian, pixie cut, kinda cute in a gothy sorta way?

-Cryokinesis drifts closer to the Herdier as the Will-O-Wisp begins to circle around it.-

Cryokinesis: <...>

Janet swishes around her coffee pensively.

Janet: Yeah, her. She was rather cute. Lil' weird and rather secretive, but, cute~ We enjoyed each others company and banter, at least.

The Herdier barks softly at the orb, moving his head along the direction of it's path.

Janet: Hmm... I guess Illusion itself is best to forget... How I keep ending up in places like this despite always wanting to forget it afterwards is... Well, I want to say "anyone's guess", but the true answer is bad decisions, financial struggles and desperation.

She downs her coffee.

Janet: -Donning a jokey voice and sticking out her tongue- That's just how it is on this bitch of an earth, now, innit?

 Tagg's Apartment 

-To Channah-

Right, you're from Hoenn. Did you want to visit your place first or?

Legion: -From her tank- <At least it'll be warmer there to my understanding...>

Tripod:

-Megan listens, and attempts a careful push to end up near Silas-

-used to a pool's water resistance, she still comes in much faster than she expects, and nearly faceplants on a nearby wall before catching herself-

Megan: -laughing- Oh gosh, ow...

-in the background, the Veelaxy has coalesced in the center of the room into a pulsating blob that sprouts translucent tentacles-

-one shoots out for balance as another reaches out and snares the flailing Pollen-

-further back, Pippy floats and pirouettes, controlling his spin with his flippers like a ballerina-

-he's having a lot of fun-

-Lucille manages a weak smile.-

Lucille: Yeah... well, here's to us, with nowhere else to go, and to the Cids and Lysandres and Echos of the world for tricking us into thinking we belonged somewhere.

-She pulls a bottle of something dark and cloudy from within her mattress and takes a swig.-

Lucille: Fuckin' Echo, man... I thought she believed in it all. I thought she cared. Shows how fucking naive I was. You know some of the Grunts called her "Mom"? If only they fuckin' knew...

Channah: Guess we could, if you're okay with it. How're we getting there?

Janet seems concerned with Lucille taking such a liberal swig of whatever her chosen poison is, but raises an eyebrow with regards to her comment on Echo.

Janet: Knew what? I certainly didn't know... I don't think, at least.

 Tagg's Apartment 

Oh, well...

-Finger snap-

Xatu: -Appears-

That's how.

-ding!-

-you've got a text-

Channah: -to Xatu- I've seen you before. Somewhere. Anyway, sweet. -is ready to go as she'll ever be-

Celadon Department Store

-The Exploud is hit hard by the Focus Blast.-

Exploud: <YOU TAKE THOSE EAR FILTERS OUT RIGHT NOW!>

Electrode: <I've got it.>

-The Electrode zips over to Fulgrim and uses Thief. Meanwhile, Bad Dog whimpers as he's pulled out of the shelf, and spits a half-assed attempt at a Flamethrower at the Electrode — who is barely deterred.-

-Meanwhile, Red is tackled to the ground.-

Red Metal Guy: HEY! GET YOUR MITTS OFF OF ME!

-He, the blue one, and the Exploud all try to force the Avenger into submission.-

Team Iron Safehouse

-Mason is quiet. Corrin is quieter.-

-And then Corrin stops being quiet, and speaks.-

Corrin: ...But you chose to accept it, right? You took the offer to come back?

Yangverse — North of Humilau

-Kai raises an eyebrow at Zoroark Green-

Kai: Seven, currently, now that Onabarrak joined the team. Why do you ask?

Nimbasa

-Jacob looks down at his phone-
somethings
-He frowns-
wrong no dont do it

 Tagg's Apartment 

-To Channah-

Okay!

-Beat-

Where's that in Hoenn again?

Fuck Richard way to kill the moment.

Channah: Oh, Dewford Town. Sorry. -_-;

"You think this is bad? If you ever join Asimov on a trip to space, the flips are usually even worse, because it's not just zero G, it's zero G with the entire ship rotating around you as you try to catch up."

Silas looked rather content, Hacks floated in and waved, ~Space seems to be the one place he's more willing to relax... I don't know why.~

"Earth gravity drains my ability to emote and leaves me without enough mental energy to deal so I remain stoic and monotone."

~That's not even a thing!~

Silas chuckled a bit as Hacks just gave him a angry look.

"We still got a bit. Feel free to practice, I gotta go make sure course corrections are proper."

Hacks looked at Megan as Silas drifted back to his seat, ~So what do you think of my trainer, aka, Wears a Mask and doesn't emote like a regular person?~

 Tagg's Apartment 

Ahh! >_<

-To Channah-

Dewford, cool place, let's go.

Xatu: -Blip-

 Dewford Town 

-Arrives-

Right, Dewford Town on Dewford Island, a tiny island in the blue sea.

Nimbasa

-Jacob nods-

-He sends out Regina? and nods to her?, and the two Blip! off to...-

PEFE HQ - Residential Module E.V.E.R.Y.

-Jacob and Regina appear-
no no no no no please
-Jacob nods to her again-

"Well then, let's see this weapon."

-The Electrode manages to pluck the ear filters from Fulgrim as he dashes past, and the sudden exposure to the din causes him to crumple and go skidding across the floor.-

Fulgrim: <AAAAAH I'M AN OLD MAN I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DEAF>

-The Avenger backhands the Exploud with a Force Palm as they're tackled, but between Red and Blue finds themself with their arms pinned to their sides, unable to reach their Pokeballs. They try to kick out at the pair.-

The Avenger: Grgh... should have brought some backup rather than underestimating these two...

-Lucius is silent for a moment as he stares at Corrin. He glances down at D's message, then back up at her.-

Lucius: ...Yeah. I... I still had people I cared about on this side, after all.

-Lucille looks away from Janet.-

Lucille: ...I'm probably too hard on her. It wasn't her fault. But her and her fuckin' savior complex... she took in everyone. Billed herself as the protector of the weak, the lost, the vulnerable. Told us she'd look after us. And I wanted to believe her. After all the shit I'd been through, I really thought we could make a difference. Two young women from broken homes, with shitheel fathers, ready to change everything. Then... then she let him in.

-She downs a good quart of the bottle in one.-

Lucille: Fuck, why am I telling you this? I don't even know you. You're just the first person I happened to stumble across while my head's still above the water.

-Cryokinesis starts to move the Will-O-Wisp in patterns in front of the Herdier, watching its eyes as it follows the flame.-
