ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-The Avenger maintains their tight grip on the red one's hand as Shrike dodges the Shock Wave and follows up with an X-Scissor.-

Shrike: <Your defeat is nigh, evildoer!>

-Lucius takes several seconds to consider Mason's comment before replying.-

Lucius: ...Yeah. Sure is.

-He turns away.-

Lucius: I'll speak to someone about... all this. We should treat our prisoners with a little more respect.

-He walks off.-

-Lucille chuckles at Janet.-

Lucille: Heh, I hope so. Juice sounds nice. Just... don't expect Shard to be down for it. Or even remember any of this.

 Mauville 

-Seems to be trying to figure out whether to go look around more or try to solve this fusion problem-

Scarf!Sparce:<The Kingdom of Mauville? We're definitely still in the Bay then.>

-Looking at the hunk of "castle"-

<That was part of Castle Mauville, but it's here now.>

Janet softly chuckles at Lucille.

Janet: Well, it seems like Shard wouldn't exactly be pleased with my existence in the first place, so maybe her not remembering any of this is good for my general safety and all that.

Janet pets her Herdier before turning and fiddling with the locks on Lucille's door.

Janet: Sheesh, this place is tied down harder than [Fort Knox]...

Janet opens the door and looks back to Lucille, saluting to her.

Janet: Seeya' around Lu~ And, again, if ya' need someone to talk to, I'm always here for ya~

And with that, Janet and her Herdier leave the scene almost as quickly as they arrived.

However, she left her "A Room of One's Own" mug behind on the crate she was sitting on.

Channah: ...Hm. Like, I don't care about this, personally, but if you wanna help these people somehow, I'll come with.

Basil: -wags his tail at a couple of scarved!mons who ignores him, and creeps back to the pair with puppy-dog eyes-

Channah: -scritches Basil's fur and yawns- Things look pretty calm right now, though. At least they're not rampaging around the city. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Strom: <Kingdom? Uh... I can't remember this place ever being a kingdom>

-He turns to Tori-

<Sound at all familiar to you?>

-The blond glances away in thought, then just shrugs-

<Huh> -Turns back- <Well, in any case I can't remember there ever being a castle in these parts, and we grew up around here>

-Tori, meanwhile, happens to catch sight of Tagg and waves. Since the scarfed mons don't seem aggressive, she walks a bit closer-

Tori: "Hey there, fancy seeing you out here in Hoenn, Tagg"

 Mauville 

-To Channah-

Well, you've got me there, but I feel like leaving it alone's probably not the best idea, but I don't even know how we'd fix it. Unless Professor Burnet's finally finished with that thing she's been working on...

-Notices Tori-

Oh, hey. Do you guys know each other or do we need to do proper introductions, I kinda forget who's properly acquainted with one another since the J-Team's so big, but I'm pretty sure you were both around at the same time.

Scarf!Sparce Auger: -To Strom- <Well, okay then, peoplemons call me Auger, so I'm sure we'll see each other again.>

-Immediately borrows underground-

Channah: We've met. -to Tori- Don't remember your name, though. I'm Channah. Think I saw you in Almia once. -to Tagg- I guess we could play tourist and if we run into anything...?

Celadon City

Echo: -to Megan- Indeed. He's one of the two remaining members who were part of the team from the beginning, so he's been more or less the de-facto leader. However, he's taking a much-needed vacation for the time being, so I'm doing what I can in his stead.

-She smiles, and turns to Silas and Bishop-

Echo: The Stormchaser is here in the city; my quarters have a computer the data can be transferred to.

-She gestures in a "come this way" fashion.-

Celadon Department Store

-The Electrode is hit by the X-Scissor-

Electrode: <Ow. Sure, whatever.>

-The red one whimpers pathetically at having his hand crushed-

Red Metal Guy: FUCK HOW IS YOUR GRIP SO STRONG

Blue Metal Guy: ELECTRODE, HIT THE FIRE ALARMS!

Electrode: <Oh, boy, more wasting time just to make things louder.>

-The Electrode zaps the nearest fire alarm, causing the screeching to echo through the area on top of the already-unbearable cacophony.-

Restaurant Le Wow

Dr. Robinson: Well, my full name is Dr. Tina Robinson. I've been part of the Mobius Society since the middle of 2012, prior to which I worked with a number of organizations in and out of Holon after earning my MD in 2008.

Team Iron Safehouse

-Mason chuckles-

Mason: Hey, don't worry about it, we're fine.

Corrin: I for one would certainly appreciate better conditions when they're offered.

YV — Slateport

-Sarah frowns.-

Sarah: ...His name's Alex, thank you very much. I'm sorry, but I'm not particularly inclined to believe much of what you're saying, weird Zoroark.

"Holon? With all of those mons with weird typings? You must be really smart then. What drew you to Mobius?"

Strom: <Ah-> -Beat- <Welp>

-He walks back to his trainer-

Tori: "Almia... Geeze, that was forever ago? Can't quite remember, might have seen you. Name's Tori"

-Shrugs- "Anyway, someone will probably come along and get that thing out of here eventually, or demolish it. So, unless that's a piece of holy property, not a whole lot to fix I guess?"

Strom: <The 'sparce seems decent enough anyway>

-Beat-

Tori: "Oh, yeah, want some pokeblocks while you're here?"

 Mauville 

-To Channah-

Sounds like a plan, we should probably get scarves and bows and stuff on our mons.

Doc: <Maybe we'll be lucky and Elysana got crushed by the rubble or something...>

-To Tori-

How come you're not with the others?

Channah: (Elysana?) -looking at Basil- Bazza, how d'you feel about a bowtie?

Basil: -shakes his head and bounds away-

Channah: Er, maybe not, heh.

-The red, yellow, and brown egg hatches first.-

Heatmor: <Heat!>

Fluffles: <It's cute!>

Heatmor: <Mor! Heatmor!>

Shaun: "I'm leaving this to you, Jess. There's Fresh Water and Durant parts in the fridge."

Jessica: <Gross, but okay!>

-Now the gray and purple egg hatches.-

Wimpod: <Od! Wimp!>

-It rushes right through the side of the egg and scurries under a bed.-

Jessica: <I don't envy you.>

Shaun: "I wouldn't either."

-He lowers himself down to the floor and looks under the bed.-

Shaun: "You gonna come out?"

-The Wimpod shivers and cowers.-

Shaun: "That's a no."

-He sighs, grabs his laptop, and sits on the floor.-

Shaun: "I'm gonna be here for a while."

-The Honedge blinks as Gabrielle revives Aurora.-

Honedge: <...where am I?>

-They looks at their hands...that they don't have. They looks for their hair...that they don't have. They look for the sword on their waist...of which they have neither.-

Honedge: <What am I? Where is my sword?>

Gabrielle: "In order, Route 10, Kalos, a Honedge, and I'm afraid I don't know."

Honedge: <Kalos? I haven't heard of that before.>

Zelel: <Clearly they aren't from an alternate timeline.>

Honedge: <What manner of beast are you?>

<And you three?>

'Zelel: <I am a Porygon-Z, designation Z-3737.>

Michael: <I'm an Absol.>

Aurora: <Ah'm a Gardevoir.>

Serena: <And I'm a Togekiss!>

Honedge: <I've never heard of those.>

Zelel: <You do not remember a lot.>

Gabrielle: "You must be confused."

Honedge: <Very.>

Gabrielle: "If you'd like, we can help you."

Honedge: <I need that. I'd be pleased to accept.>

Gabrielle: "Wonderful. My friends and I are part of an organization that's dedicated to helping peoplemons."

Michael: <Albeit in a roundabout way.>

Honedge: <People...mons?>

Gabrielle: "I will explain everything later. What's your name?"

Honedge: <I can't remember...it's all very hazy...oh! It's...Marth.>

Gabrielle: "Well Marth, I must request that you allow me to put you in a Poké Ball."

Marth: <What? If you must.>

-Gabrielle releases Marth from his ball.-

Marth: <Gods, that was an odd feeling. What now?>

Gabrielle: "Well first, we ought to introduce ourselves. I am Gabrielle."

Michael: <I'm Michael, and no, you cannot call me Mike.>

Aurora: <Ah'm Aurora. Howdy.>

Serena: <I'm Serena!>

Zelel: <As previously mentioned, I am Porygon-Z unit Z-3737, colloquially known as Zelel.>

Marth: <A pleasure to meet you. Now what?>

Gabrielle: "Now we return to our base of operations. Aurora, if you'd please?"

-Good news! Most of these Yamasks have the equivalent of an IV of 0 in Defense, Special Defense, and Health, so Tsubasa's Draugr is KO'd by the Peck!-

-Bad news! Tsubasa's has decent stats and a resistance to Bug, so it's able to grab Cris and attack with an Astonish.-

Strom: <Sounds like somemon who was a pain>

Tori: -Rubs the back of her neck- "Well, our family daycare is just up the road from here. Thought it was about time I checked up on things with the parents, what with the sky breaking and all"

That and trying to sort out where things are really going with Lane and me...

-Beat-

"Maybe I'd better tell Mom to get some scarves and stuff for the client's pokemon while I'm at it"

Thespi: <Excuse me, wise mentor figure, but we are also part of the ragtag band of heroes! Gone are the days when we can blend into the crowd, having meaningless conversation and only coming out to contribute to mysterious mass flash musical numbers!>

Ceal: <H-honestly, mass flash musical numbers sound kinda nice...>

Thespi: <But now we can LEAD them!> ^_^

Ceal: <Oooh...>

Megan: I only started watching after meeting like nine J-Teamers all at once ^_^;

-nevertheless, she smiles at being considered admirable-

-hearing Echo- Oh wow...

Wait, so you're the leader, currently?

Thespi: -excited gasp-

-they all follow at her beckoning-

Thespi: <Ooh, what's the Stormchaser? Sounds dramatic!>

-"Homer, Melly, and the wild cubone hide behind a tree, watching the two cops guarding the entrance to Lush Jugnle"-

Homer, turning away from the guards, to address the two Pokémon: OK, I'm fairly sure one of our guys is in that Jungle, now we just need to figure out how to get in there.

Melinoe: <I'm a very powerful psychic type you fucking idiot, just I'll just blow their heads up>

Homer: Maybe we could find away to knock them out?

Melly:<Let me blow their heads up>

Wild cubon: <I found a stick>

-"The wild cubone holds up a large, heavy stick"-

Homer: Perfect. You... I should really give you a name, whatever, run up there and knock those two cops out.

Melly:<That won't work, let me blow their heads up>

Wild cubone: <YOUR RULER WILL AID YOU>

-"The wild cubone rushes out to the two cops"-

Cop 1: Aw look, a baby cubone.

Cop 2: Wanna eat it?

Wild cubone: <BOW TO YOUR RULER>

-the wild cubone used bone... stick club-

-"The two cops are knocked out"-

Homer: hey, it worked

Melly: <GOD FUCKING DAMNIT>

Silas and Bishop follow as well, Silas smirks a bit, "Bishop if you would please."

"Certainly Captain, the Stormchaser is the J-Team's and PEFE's Home away from home. A massive airship with high speeds, not using one of the more advanced mag lift designs that some poachers are used for, it uses a friendly looking more classical blimp design last we checked to serve as a mobile base. Best we have to compare it to in Asimov is the Odysseus Rocket, our home among the stars."

Bishop would have smiled if the body wasn't a obvious robot with a singular blue optic on the face. The plates around it moved in a way to try and simulate pride, "How'd I do Captain?"

"Very well Bishop. I can't be the one advertising it after all."

~You also wanted to hear him say that all with that accent...~ Hacks added. Silas chuckled a bit, "So what if I did?"

 Mauville 

Doc: -To Strom- <That's putting it lightly.>

-To Tori-

Yeah, might be a good idea, these mons tend to be afraid of ferals.

-To Channah-

Well, a scarf or ribbon works just as well.

Channah: Uh-huh, just messing with him. -stuffs her hands in her jacket pockets and looks at both of them-

Strom: <Hm...>

Tori: "Probably doesn't help any that we've got the daycare yard set up to look kind of wilderness-y. Would hate to see somemon get hurt over a misunderstanding"

-She pulls a couple of small cardboard boxes out and hands them to both Tagg and Channeh-

"Anyway, Mom was making pokeblocks yesterday and we ended up with way too many, so here"

-On top of the bed is a snoring, sleeping Gijinka Jessica, a Heatmor snuggled in her arms.-

-Various other Pokémon are sleeping in the room, altough Achille, Beowulf, and Celena (obviously) are still in their Poké Balls.-

I'm jealous of that Heatmor. What has my life come to?

-Shaun's watching anime on his laptop. He pauses it and checks on the Wimpod, who has not moved.-

Shaun: "One of us is going to move eventually."

-He presses play. Through his headphones he can hear this.-

-Something scuttles across the floor and onto Shaun's lap.-

Shaun: "What, you wanna watch?"

-The Wimpod stares at the screen.-

Shaun: "I'm gonna assume that means yes and set up my other pair of headphones."

 Mauville 

-Takes Pokéblocks-

Thanks, Muddy's familiar with with them but this'll be a new experience for my newest teammates.

Benkei: <What's a Pokéblock?>

Muddy: <They're confectioneries native to Hoenn that we eat to improve our performance in Pokémon Contests.>

-Crossing arms-

Well, this thing probably won't solve itself tonight, so I guess we'll call it a night for now. And bank on there not being a lot of us so they won't peg us as J-Team affiliated at the hotels.

Channah: Might as well. -grabs a few- Yeah, thanks. -lets Basil eat one from her hand at random- -to Tori- Nice to... re-meet you.

Basil: -wags his tail while doggy-smiling at Tori-

Channah: -glances around for hotel signs- You guys need fake I Ds or something, I dunno.

Po Town

Punk: Oh, come on, man.

-He goes and squats down next to Morrigan.-

Punk: Hey, pal. You lost? We can take ya in. Anyone tries to scare ya, we'll beat 'em up real good. That's what Team Skull does, yo.

Restaurant Le Wow

Dr. Robinson: Well, the J-Team came through, caused their usual ruckus. I decided to join Mobius because it seems like a good opportunity to rally allies against them, yes? Especially now that we're in alliance with Iron and Best Berry. How about you? What's your story?

Celadon

Echo: Oh, I'm not in any official role in the J-Team, by no means. And neither is or was Tagg, really.

-The Stormchaser comes into view. Echo grins.-

Echo: Well, here it is. The Stormchaser. The J-Team stole it from me when I led the Illusion Project, but that's okay, I stole the plans from Mobius in the first place. It's in better hands now.
