ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Channah: <Well, looking forward to it.>

Voice: <-So you know about baby sis, huh... Yeeeah, we're gonna keep an eye on youse folks.>

Channah: -to Pici- <What are you guys looking at?>

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

Ramona, repeating her question: Are you happy?

Ghost girl: I'm dead

Ramona: Yeah, but that seems like a minor detail.

-"the ghost girls gives Ramaona a questioning look, trying to figure out what's wrong with the young lady's head"-

Ghost girl: ...no, I wouldn't say that I'm particularly"happy". What does it matter to you any way?

Ramona, up beat but bluntly: Because I want to help you.

Ghost girl: ...god you're weird

-"Ramona giggles at the ghost comment, and the ghost girl seems to relax a bit more. Then her eyes widen, like she just saw something she shouldn't have seen."-

Ghost girl: I'm sorry

Ramona: Huh?

Ghost girl: You need to leave

-"Before Ramona could so much as blink she was standing in front of the house, her bags and Victor next to her"-

Victor: <Aw man, you're alive>

Ramona's mom, annoyed: For the last time Ramona, take clothes with you when you take a shower.

Ramona: Sorry mom.

-"Ramona walks into her room, wrapped in a towel, and sits at her computer"-

Ramona, as up beat as ever: All righty, let's check out the new vid real quick.

Victor: <Stop narrating everything you waste of oxygen>

-"Ramona clicks on her video and starts watching. Everything that happened in the house last night appeared the same in the video, from the dining room, to Victor and Ramona being separated, even Ramona's meeting with the ghost appeared the same as it had in real life. That is until near where the ghost had asked Ramona to stop filming. Instead of the video ending, as it should have, it showed the ghost girl getting off the bed and picking the camera up."-

Ghost girl, looking into the canera, tears running down her face: please help me

-"The video ends"-

Let's all have fun

Corrin. Corrin please. You're not making this easy on Artoria.

But it's also adorable so despite the internal screaming and luminescent blush Artoria is 100% fine with this.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa why are feelings so hard.

F!Robin, tragically, continues to not understand monese and thus is confused as to why there's a fish and a small blue orb thing flopping and waddling, respectively, towards her.

F!Robin: "Um, hello?"

Mira: ~They seem to recognize you and are expressing shock at your survival!~

F!Robin: "I could tell that without your telepathy, but that doesn't narrow it down, they could be any of the Shepards."

She looks at Chrom. "Oh, it was suggested I wear something closer to what is common here to avoid attracting undue attention. And a giant sludge monster... thing ruined my old coat."

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

Amber and Rémy are sitting on a bench, eating an ice-cream while watching their Pokemon gallivant about. Their signature favorites - Cupid and Emilie - are perched on their shoulders and get the very occasional lick of the treat.

Amber: -Stretching with a yawn- What a lazy day!

Cupid: <Yeah! It's nice to give these barking dogs a rest!> ^v^

Cupid wiggles his feet.

Emilie: -Twitching her nose- <But we haven't done anything->

Cupid: <Shhhh!> ovo

Emilie humphs as she turns to snuggle Rémy, who is pensively watching both his and Amber's Pokemon interact and play.

Rémy: *lick* So, Amber. *lick*

Amber: Hmm? What's up Rémy? *lick*

Rémy gestures to a particular.... folded and papery creature that Amber acquired not too long ago.

Rémy: What are you gonna do about... whatever that is?

Amber: Oh! You mean Sammerguy?

Rémy: ...Sammerguy?

Amber: Yeah! That's his name!

She looks over to the creature now known as "Sammerguy"

Amber: I remember it like it was yesterday...

Yesterday

Amber is walking through a forest clearing, Cupid on her shoulder and a Heal Ball in her hand

Cupid: <You don't have to do this, Lady Amber. Who knows what could happen! Maybe the weird thingy inside has decided to turn tails! And start up a shoe factory!> <:V

Amber: This creature needs a name! And I'm gonna give him one! So come on out!

Amber tosses the Heal Ball and the Kartana caught at the Nimbasa Stadium leaps out.

Kartana: {Avast! I hath been summon'd!}

The Ultra Beast looks around, until it catches Amber in the glimpse of its.... eye? And spins around, saluting her (Can Kartana's even see?)

Kartana: {Ah! It seems I has't been did summon by Mistress Amb'r! How may I beest of useth to thee this fine day?}

Amber looks over her papery friend.

Amber: Well! Since you're now party of the group, you need a name!

Kartana: {...A nameth?}

Cupid: <Yeah! A name to signify that your trainer really likes you and wants to see you do well! That's why trainers name their Pokemon!> ^v^

The Kartana thinks to himself, a passtime that he's very good at doing.

Kartana: {Shouldst a nameth beest bestow'd upon me by Mistress Amb'r... I shalt beest doth favoured by h'r?}

Cupid: <Uh... I didn't understand a word of that, but yes!> ovo;;

The Kartana flings himself into the air excitedly.

Kartana: {Than I shalt accepteth whatev'r title thee bestow upon me, Mistress Amb'r!}

Amber giggles.

Amber: Heehee! How cute! OK! Hmm...

Amber examines her Kartana.

Amber: Well! You kinda look like a Samurai! With the arm blade thingys and the folded paper/metal look! But you're not quite a "Samurai"...

Amber puts her arms on her hips and nods.

Amber: You're more of a Sammerguy!

The Kartana ponders his new name.

Kartana: {Samm'rguy... Samm'rguy. I liketh the ringeth of yond! Samm'rguy!!}

The Kartana floats around Amber.

KartanaSammerguy: {Mistress Amb'r! I shalt beest thy Samm'rguy!}

Amber throws her arms up

Amber: I guess that's a yes!

Cupid: <Woo!> ^v^

Amber: And that's how he got his name!

Cupid: <Nifty, huh?> ovo?

Rémy, however, stares at Amber with dumbfounded disbelief. Which causes Amber to tilt her head.

Amber: You're strangely quiet R-

Rémy: You named it.

Amber is confused about what Rémy is trying to insinuate.

Amber: And what's wrong with that-

Rémy: Once you name it, you start getting attached to it!

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Hyul Shore

Phaz barely dodges it with the shield Colton gave him.

Phaz: 'Did swordfighting at college you know?'

He takes an offensive stance before trying to cleave Wendy-B in two.

"Could've gone pro if I didn't stop!"

Elite Four, East Passage

-Ludmilla steps into the arena. An array of hardlight wings light up the edges and close the exit behind her.-

Ludmilla: Oh. Neat.

-Her challenge is on the far side, squatting with a golf club in her hand.-

Kahili: You must be Ludmilla. I am Kahili. I went through the Island Trial like you, years ago. Tell me, do you have a passion... aside from Pokemon battling?

-Ludmilla is surprised by the question and just looks confused.-

Kahili: I see. After this battle, I hope you consider expanding your interests. It will make you a more well-rounded person in the long run. But that's neither here nor there right now, is it? You came for a battle. Let's do this.

-Ludmilla nods.-

Kahili: Fly, Braviary!

Ludmilla: Go, Hermes!

-The massive avian and floating rodent square off.-

Ludmilla: Thunderbolt!

Kahili: Crush Claw!

-The Braviary lets out a cry before diving at the Raichu, which unfortunately for him gives Hermes just enough time to blast the Braviary against the wall with a single shot.-

Hermes: <Fastest draw in the west!>

Braviary: <In the name of George Washington that hurt...>

-Kahili frowns. She recalls her Braviary and sends out a Mandibuzz.-

Ludmilla: Thunderbolt!

Kahili: Bone Rush.

-The Mandibuzz is blasted by the lightning, but not before closing the distance and pummeling Hermes with a long string of smacks with her wing.-

-Corrin. Corrin pls. The plane landed.-

-Corrin pls stop being adorable and wake up.-

Artoria gently nudges Corrin.

Artoria: "We've landed."

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

Corrin: Mmm...?

-She blinks awake, seeing Artoria and Mason looking at her.-

Mason: Come on already. We're in Rustboro.

Corrin: O-oh, yes.

-She gets up from her seat, stretching slightly.-

Artoria decides to not mention the happenings on the plane ride because she can barely process them herself let alone in a conversation with Corrin.

She is entirely hopeless.

She stands up as well as people filter out.

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

-After the last remaining helping of bureaucracy, the group steps out into the city.-

Mason: All right, so, where exactly are the others now that we're back here?

Artoria: "Uh, people were congregating around Mauville-ish. Or at least that's where the airship was."

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

Mason: All right, cool. Are we heading there right away or do you two need a moment without me third-wheeling you?

Corrin: What?

Mason: Nothing.

Chrom: It suits you! And...Naga, what do we fight in this world? ._.

Megan: -walking up, gingerly holding normal-form Falchion- They're Lissa and Donnel! As the scarf will show.

-she smiles Mareepishly, seeming rather awe-struck by the pair of them-

Hi...!

-she holds Falchion out to Chrom, who takes it and sheathes it, glancing at Megan-

Chrom: Er, thank you. I suppose you've been caring for them in their new forms?

-Vee forms another watery bubble for Donnel to float in-

Donnel: -more comfortably- <Yep! She's joined the Shepherds of this world!>

Megan: I guess?? ^_^;

-to Robin- Oh yeah, weren't there three of you? At the fight with the Glitch.

Chrom: ...?

No mind to think. No will to break.

Artoria pretends not to hear Mason. It doesn't work.

So she instead distracts herself (and buries her face) in texting.

F!Robin: "I see. On one level I am grateful for this reunion, but on another... it's incredibly suspicious. Last I checked people do not randomly get sent to another universe... Which suggests some foul play at work, either in this world or ours. All the more reason to find a way back, as fascinating as this world is."

She nods to Megan. "Yes." She shrugs at Chrom. "Well, another version of me and his apparently reformed, as much as I don't buy it, Grima."

"He's at least not immediately inimical to all living things, so."

Mason: Tell you what, I'm gonna go get food because I'm fuckin' starving, and you two can figure out whatever and we can meet back up at the PMC later. That work?

Corrin: Er, I suppose?

Mason: Great, have fun.

-And so the third wheel rolls off into the city.-

Corrin: Um.

Ever: I gotta go.

PEFE!Every: Huh? Where?

Ever: Stuff. Things.

PEFE!Every: Wait, that wasn't an—

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Megan: -hearing about Grima- welp ._.

And, uh, the group I'm with knows one bit of foul play here—

-she points up at the kaleidoscope fractal sky-

—that. There's a group that wants to fuse every universe, for some reason, and so they broke the walls between them somehow. They might be sliding together—that might be enough to have gotten you all here?

Chrom: I'll follow your lead, then. We're a long way from Ylisse...

Lissa: -bouncing on her tail- <Give! Me! That! Scarf!>

Chrom: Okay...Lissa?

-he pulls it off, poofing back into a little water otter form and dropping the scarf in surprise-

-Lissa puts it on, reverting to her familiar yellow-dressed human form and hugging Robin-

Lissa: Robin!! I missed you so much!

No mind to think. No will to break.

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every

She puts her phone away.

Artoria: "... Um, I can't say I'm not hungry either so food?"

F!Robin: "Hello, Lissa."

Fortunately she was a) expecting it and b) Lissa is a lot smaller, less muscle, and with less momentum than her brother, so she is not knocked to the ground again.

Corrin: Um, yes, food sounds great! Gods, the food they gave us in the Iron place was awful.

Artoria smiles. "Um, sushi?"
