ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Ever: Yo.

Indeterminate Person: ...Seriously?

Ever: Are you surprised?

IP: YES! I didn't even lure you in here! Honestly I didn't count on anyone showing up!

Ever: Well, I'm here.

IP: Why?!

Ever: Boredom, mostly. My cousins are, respectively, sleeping off an intense trip, actually happy for once and thus kind of occupied, or...arguing with a Gym Leader. My girlfriend has vanished, and my friends are on vacation, in another universe, just...generally gone, or otherwise inaccessible. Got anything better for me to do with myself?

IP: ...Literally anything but visit someone who explicitly only tries to kill you?

Ever: It's human connection. Probably. Wait, are you human?

IP: Uh, yes, were there other options?

Ever: Mm. So, whatcha got?

IP: I...honestly didn't think I'd get this far.

Ever: So you don't have any deathtraps?

IP: ...Do you want deathtraps?

Ever: ...

IP: ...I'll have another Jim for you in a while, okay? Just...go.

Ever: Oh.

IP: Out.

Ever: Fine.

-he leaves-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Channah: -is mumbling about Meta Knight and Pikachu strats in her sleep, lying on her back over a patient Basil-

-as was quickly revealed offscreen last night, she's a viciously competitive video game player-

Lo: -rolls her eyes at Tagg and Muddy- <I'll pretend I didn't hear that.>

Channah: -is alive-

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

Mew!Blitz: ~It's okay, I'm kind of used to people being curious! I just can't talk nearly as fast as you~ ^-^;

-At Victor- <Oh settle down pup, can't you take a nap in another room if she annoys you that much?>

-He takes a seat on the bed before popping the can open at taking a sip-

Mew!Blitz: ~Diet's fine. And telepathy is pretty common since it's hard to speak [human] with these vocal chords~

-He glances at the camera with an embarrassed feline chuckle-

Breeze: <Soo...gonna unpack that?>

Ever: No.

Breeze: <Want me to unpack it for you?>

Ever: Does my answer make a difference to your decision?

Breeze: <I actually started unpacking before I even asked.>

Ever: I figured.

Breeze: <...You're not even going to make a joke about unpacking, which eventually degenerates into a tortuously extended metaphor that occupies a lot of time and ultimately deflects the question?>

Ever: I'm sure you saw the relevant conversational paths. It wasn't going anywhere that funny.

Breeze: <...You can't just keep avoiding this conversation.>

Ever: Watch me.

Breeze: -whaps Ever with his ribbon-

Ever: You know what's on my mind anyway, Breeze.

Breeze: <I'd really rather hear you say it.>

Ever: You can keep waiting, then.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Ramona: You have vocal cor-

-"She is interrupted by an angry Victor"-

Victor, pissed: <Don't tell me to calm down you pink freak; this is my house, I can sleep where ever I want. And do you want to know why this brain dead piece of flesh annoys me? It's because of her that I can't be a battler. I was bread with perfect I Vs and E Vs, I have the best ability my line can posses, and yet I have been reduced to nothing more then a house pet. All because this trash went and had a nervous breakdown at her first gym. Not because we lost, we didn't even battle, it was because other people were "mean" to her. I lost out on being a champion because this bitch can't take the fact that people hate her!>

-"Ramona happily picks Victor up"-

Ramona, with a bright smile: Sorry. I think he's cranky from not getting his walkys yet. Hey, want to come with us?

-"Victor growls with rage"-

Let's all have fun

Basket: -is in the corner of the food court, surrounded by bottles and flasks with various liquids glowing with various levels of concerning color.

-she is staring at a piece of paper with confusion-

Ceiling Mew is watching, in a manner that would be rather conspicuous if people ever bothered to look at the ceiling.

But who would ever do that?

Flarith: <Enough talk!> -aims a Flamethrower at Brebre-

Brebre: <OW!> -charges an attack-

Merkle: -Astonishes the Pikablu, interrupting its Thunder Wave attack-

-Brebre then Solarbeams the Pikablu, knocking it out with the supereffective attack-

Flarith: <Will you just go away?!> -Flamethrowers Brebre again-

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Elite Four, Northeastern Passage

Ludmilla: Ah, so this is what your other job is.

-The smiling girl at the end of the arena just cocks her head with a grin.-

Acerola: But of course! Are you ready for me?

Ludmilla: More than.

Acerola: Go, Sableye!

Ludmilla: Go, Porrima! Moonblast!

Acerola: Wait, you have a Clefable?

Porrima: <What, you need glasses, or have you never read a book in your life?>

Acerola: Shadow Claw!

-The Moonblast throws the Sableye across the room before dark talons reach out of the ground and slash at Porrima's feet.-

Ludmilla: Shock Wave!

Porrima: <Can't hide from me!>

-The lightning starts crashing down around the Sableye before he's struck and blasted.-

Acerola: Wow! I didn't know Clefable could learn that!

Porrima: <Maybe you should do some studying, little girl.>

Ludmilla: ~Porrima, play nice.~

Porrima: ~No!~

-Alli grits her teeth-

Alli: You aren't even being careful! You could hurt your friends! Are they even your friends, really?!

-Gerald is wracked by the Earthquake but fires another Moonblast-

---

-Dark Hide roars and sets up a Sunny Day before striking with more tail and claw attacks-

-She then aims multiple Dragon Pulses in Pent and Colton's directions-

-Mega!Cuyahoga retaliates with an Air Slash-

Leeya: Oh, sure! There's a central power cell powered by-

-Fwoom-

-Neon is currently swinging around an enhanced Psycho Cut blade-

Kofun: <Ack! Be careful with that!>

-Neon mutters a "sorry" before looking at his phone to watch his sis-

Jean: -grins- That Clefable has some sass.

 Earlier 

Both: >_>

 Now 

-Sitting down-

Wonder what's taking Contrail so long...

 Yangbase 

Ann: That should've worked a lot better... Maybe it's got a different type!

Genmei!

Genmei: -Attempts a Close Combat-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Channah: -to Tagg- Who slash what is Contrail?

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

Elite Four

-Acerola recalls her unconscious Sableye and sends out a Dhelmise.-

Ludmilla: Oh, it's that thing Satele was messing with earlier.

Acerola: Heavy Slam!

Ludmilla: Wait what. Shadow Ball!

-Porrima panics and launches a Shadow Ball at the massive anchor, but it ricochets off and the arena shakes with the weight of the anchor hitting the arena.-

-Porrima is, obviously, no longer fit for battle.-

Ludmilla: *Wince*

Acerola: Wow that looked painful!

Dhelmise: <Heh.>

Ludmilla: Hmph. Go, Mao!

-The squid takes the field. The Dhelmise starts making small swings, readying for a big one.-

Acerola: Heavy Slam!

Ludmilla: Foul Play!

-The anchor swings, and swings, and swings. It takes the ghostly seaweed a moment to notice that it was no longer the source of the swinging.-

Mao: <One... two... three...>

-Mao then lets go, the anchor swinging into the ceiling and lodging itself there, crushing the ghostly seaweed it was attached to against the rock.-

Acerola: =O

Ludmilla: Mao, why are you so good at doing that?

Mao: <I AM A GENIUS!>

Neon: -pumps an armored fist- YES!

Gabe: -pumping his fists and chanting- Power squid, power squid, power squid!

Contact Me!

-Basket is approached by a girl dressed all in gray, carrying a Dunsparce. While she's mostly cooled down from earlier, she still seems to be in a good mood, even if the food court is rather unnecessarily loud and unpleasant-

PEFE!Every: Evening, Basket. Do you mind if I sit here?

Cervantes: <What are you working on?>

PEFE!Every: Don't pry.

-she does glance expectantly at the Tropius, though-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

 Tagg's Secret Base 

-A Latios' head sticks into the base entrance-

Contrail: <Tagg, this the new friend of yours you mentioned?>

Channah, meet Contrail, we go back to 2011.

Contrail: <Charmed.>

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Now that Mason and team — presumably with Artoria and Mordred — have gotten back to the team, they — with or without Artoria and Mordred — are wandering the city.-

Corrin: The fauna in this world are so unusual, it's so unlike in my own.

Mako: <I mean, comparatively yours sounds super boring, but what brings this on?>

Corrin: The odd pink floating cat we just passed.

Mason: ...Pardon?

-Corrin tilts her head-

Corrin: The floating cat! I'm not hallucinating it, am I? Gods, I hope I'm not.

-She points up at Mew.-

Mason: ...

Mako: <...>

Near: ~This is bound to be an entertaining turn of events, I can already tell.~

-Kai gives Alli a concerned look.-

Kai: Alli, what's going on? What's happened that's making you say that?

-Spectrum recoils from the damage, already down to low health, and she and Kai share a glance. She turns her gaze back to Gerald, and attempts to smack him with a Steel Wing.-

Channah: Yo. -gives a little wave-

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

Artordred are indeed with Mason and Corrin.

Mordred: "... Is that a Mew?"

Artoria: "Yes, yes it is."

Mordred: "Fauna's underselling it there, Princess."

AU!Natalie: "The armor seems to work satisfactorily, then?" The icefoxes have been helping, I swear.

Tamamo attempts to blast it with icescura, while Masako Blizzards it and Astolfo Shadow Claws it.

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

Elite Four

Acerola: Wow, those Malamar are strong.

Mao: <AND INTELLIGENT!>

Acerola: Go, Froslass!

Ludmilla: Mao, return!

Mao: <AW WHAT>

Ludmilla: Go, Doomsday!

Acerola: "Doomsday"?

-The Clefable hits the field, and the room gets warmer to counter the cold from the Froslass.-

Doomsday: <S'UP, BITCHES?!>

Ludmilla: Flamethrower!

Acerola: Ice Shard!

-The shards fly by quickly, but Doomsday's bulk takes the hit. She responds with a massive gout of flame.-

Doomsday: <BURN!>

-The fire scorches the Froslass, causing a burn. The burn knocks her out flat a moment after the attack.-

Acerola: Froslass, return! Oh boy... Go, Drifblim!

Ludmilla: Shadow Ball!

-The Shadow Ball hits the balloon as soon as he enters the field, causing it to stagger slightly.-

Acerola: Payback!

Ludmilla: Shadow Ball again!

-Doomsday laughs off the Obscuric smite before shooting a projectile back. The Drifblim goes down hard, the Aftermath causing Doomsday to wince in pain.-

Acerola: That is one strong Blissey!

Doomsday: <Yer damn right!>

Ludmilla: She was my first, and she's been with me from the start!

Doomsday: <And I've fought guys WAY stronger than you!>

Acerola: Go, Pallosand!

Ludmilla: Softboil!

Doomsday: <Don't gotta tell me twice!>

-Doomsday stuffs her face with an egg as the Pallosand looks incredulously at his target.-

-Acerola looks down at her Ghostium Z, then at the Normal-Type in front of her.-

Acerola: Uh... Giga Drain?

Ludmilla: Shadow Orb!

-Doomsday lobs an orb at the sand castle, then again, and again, and again, until she's right in the ghost's face, staring it down.-

Acerola: Wow. That's... wow, I don't think I've been beaten quite like this before.

Doomsday: <BOO!>

-The Pallosand passes out.-

-While stepping out into a surprisingly rainfree Route 119-

The thing about Mirage Spots is that it's pretty hard for non-Latii to access them, so Contrail's pretty good for stuff like this.

Contrail: -Floating outside- <Ready to ride when you two are.>

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Channah: -rubs her eyes, looking a bit tired- I am, yeah. -shakes her head and climbs aboard-

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

 Route 119 

-Also climbs on-

Okay, let's go!

Contrail: -Flies off-

 Hoenn Skies 

-Flying over eastern Hoenn near Route 126-

The one we're going to is called the Nameless Cavern.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Mew!Blitz: -Sigh-

~He's a bit cranky at me, actually... But a walk sounds good, I honestly have no idea where we are, so some fresh air might be good for all of us~

-Siiiip-

~...Though, I imagine pajamas aren't great walking clothes around here~

Channah: ...Nope, never been there. It's not underwater, is it?

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

Mew has been spotted! How could this happen?!

She falls down on top of Artoria.

Mew: ~Um... hello. Seen a pink Fletchling anywhere?~

Basket: <Hey Every. I'm going over one of my older projects to reminisce.>

<But past-me kept rather messy notes and it's making present me irritated.>

<See here where it says to "add lime"? I'm trying to decide if that means the pH is supposed to go up or down.>

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

 Hoenn Skies 

-To Channah-

Nah, if we were going to one of those, I wouldn't have bothered asking for Contrail's help.

Contrail: -Starts diving down to an island-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
