ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Blitz bounces and cheers-

F!Blitz: "Great job Ramona! Excellent work Lucy!"

-Then smirks to herself-

Can't wait to see the look on Victor's fluffy face when he hears Ramona and Lucy beat a second mon without his wearing it down first

-Blitz bounces and cheers-

F!Blitz: "Great job Ramona! Excellent work Lucy!"

Can't wait to see the look on Victor's fluffy face when he hears Ramona and Lucy beat a second mon without his wearing it down first

Ramona, in shock: I won? -suddenly a big happy smile breaks over the girls face- I WON!

Lucy, smiling at her trainer: <This... has good aura.>

-"Ramona rushes over and gives Blitz a big hug."-

Ramona, ecstatic: OH MY GOSH, THANK YOU FOR CHEERING FOR ME. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK-

-"Roxie walks up to them"-

Roxie: -cough, cough- Sorry to interrupt but -she hands Ramona a badge that is four small purple circles lined up and surrounded by gold- This is the Virbank official toxic badge, oh and -also hands Ramona a TM- this is toxic, teach to one of your mons if you can.

-"Ramona looks at the badge and TM, then her eyes become watery with joy."-

Ramona: These, are for me... THANK YOU.

-"Ramona wraps Roxie in a big hug, startling the gym leader."-

Roxie, not sure what to do: Um, yeah, no problem you've earned it. -Roxies phone vibrates and she looks at while still being bear hugged by Ramona- Oh no, hey I got to see my dad, he's being stupid again. -Roxie breaks free of Ramona and heads for the door- See you guys around.

-"Roxie leaves, and Ramona stares at her very first gym badge, a smile plastered on her face."-

Ramona: I did it. I really did it.

Let's all have fun

Hyul Castle

-Pent takes a moment to work his way around the initial salvo before seeming to aim his Gaster carefully at Jester as it rests in his palm...-

I told you to trust me.

-With a slight motion he slipped the Pen from his pocket and softly embedded it into the Gastering skull in his hands-

I can only hope I can trust you back.

-He released the skull to float and aim on it's own, charging up... And then it fires. Straight down. And then it falls-

A-alright, that's my power reserves tapped for the fight, let's go team!

-With a click, almost every pokeball he had brought along from the boat and strapped to himself pops open. All but one really-

Lydia the Rockruff: <Ooh, battle time? >

Oakley: <The joke is your overestimation of our power!>

Φ: <Seriously, you chose these guys to antagonize? First mistake and last mistake.>

Gygax the Sylveon: <But maybe you were forced to by fate or fiction. Because we are this world's unconquerable heroes!>

Jammer: Calculating enemy success vector. Result null.

Tepig: <I'm pretty sure that means you're gonna burn>

Braixen: <Oh we are quite good at    burning   >

Monos: <I don't have anything to add to that.>

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Megan: Oh! I—I have a name, yes. It's Megan! Megan Nguyen. I'm a Gym Trainer, from Pastoria! In Sinnoh.

We don't see any of those around Pastoria, at all ._.

Pippy: <Those mons seem like you'd need to go a lot of different places to observe them...do you wander around much, for your research?>

Megan: -peering at the fiddling- ...those little blurbs did seem kinda unsatisfying...most of the species stuff we tried came from the Internet. Or we stumbled across...

-Megan winces slightly at the yanking-out, but looks on, with vague, uncomprehending interest at the innards of one of the three things she's carried around for half her life-

Megan: ...You said your bosses are also part of the J-Team?

No mind to think. No will to break.

PEFE!Every: Oh. Ever might have mentioned you.

-she takes something out of her coat that resembles the thing she tore out of Megan's Dex, and sticks it into the slot-

There. You can actually learn about the Pokemon you meet.

-and hands it back to Megan, before nodding to Pippy-

I used to. Then I didn't. Now I do again. ...Admittedly a benefit of the J-team.

-she smiles slightly-

Cytosol: <She's kind of an agoraphobe. Not without cause, but we've been trying to get her past it.>

-PEFE!Every flushes-

PEFE!Every: Yes. Dr. Tangerine, Dr. Basket, Dr. Tagg, Dr. Silent, and Dr. Tracer.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Celena: {That's rude to Blacephalons!>

Shaun: "Alright miss gunslinger...don't let him hit you."

-Celena nods almost inperceptibably and dodges the green orbs suprisingly gracefully.-

-Shaun, meanwhile, releases an Empoleon and...A-Arceus???-

Shaun: "Tsunami, A...   kill   ."

-A Hydro Pump is fired as Tsunami sidesteps an orb.-

-Arceus(?) attacks. Is that a Dark-type Judgement?-

-Oh no it's just regular divine Punishment.-

---

AU!Shaun: "Basically, after the first war I lived through - essentially World War III - seven Dragon assholes and their clans decided humanity was unfit and Dragons should rule instead. Of course, thanks to the recently-freed Legendaries and the Vow, they couldn't harm us. Then they found a loophole."

-He bites his lip before continuing.-

Shaun: "The Vow allows violence between Pokémon. So these Dragon bastards built and dropped these - bombs, I guess...they turned everyone into a Pokémon."

-He gets a Thousand-Yard Stare.-

Shaun: "I woke up one day as an Arceusdamn Starly."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Hyul Castle

Every single 'mon on Colt's team present met Jester with their favorite offensive moves.

Helmsman used Air Slash,

Julius used Facade,

Sylveon used a Pixilated Hyper Voice,

Amaterasu used Fire Blast,

Lucario used Flash Cannon,

9-Volt used Electroweb,

and Talbain used... Dark Pulse? Uh, okay?

None of them paid much mind to the hole created by the Gaster, all of them more focused on exacting a little revenge. 9-Volt in particular; he was there!

Mauville City

Colt threw away the paper plate with his food scraps on it as he then returned to where his team was, each of them also looking rather satisfied. "You guys think we should knock the most inconvenient gym out of the way?"

<Actually, we've been kinda waiting for you to provide so two bits worth,> Sylveon offered.

<Yeah, as much as he's come to like us, Roy kinda feels a little lonely,> Sunny nodded.

"Hey, I contacted my circle of friends if they may have seen someone who might know you," he offered.

<How would they know me?> The Blaziken sighed as he wrapped one of his talons in Sylveon's feeler, much to her ire. <I'm not from this world.>

Colt bit his tongue. He exhaled and had Xatu fly a bit away from the seat so he could sit with Roy. "Okay, I know this is going to be absolutely absurd, but I want you to hear me out."

Roy nodded affirmative, now clutching his wrist in minor paranoia as Colt put a hand on his back. "Your dimension has been broadcast to us in various forms of media," he summarized.

Roy almost stood up and took the table with him until Sunny rested a paw on Roy's shoulder. <We're gonna get through this,> She offered. <What's nagging at you?>

<It's...> He sighed as he placed his head in his claws. <It's a fair bit to wrap my head around.>

"Take as much time as you need to process it," Colt offered. "And feel free to ask for the specifics. Remember, you're you, and that's not something that can be taken from you."

Rei, Ammy, and Sylveon were about to say something about the 'Zard Sauce before Colt summoned illusory hands to slap them.

About 10 Minutes of Exposition and some minor BSoDs later

Roy and Colt were now the only two at the table, huddled around a phone. <Yeah, that's what happened, sorta,> Roy observed as Colt closed his [Wiki] page. <But, I don't think that they'll so easily recognize me,> he observed.

"I dunno," Colt mused as he looked at Roy's plumage, a bit scruffier but lighter than the standard for Blaziken. "I figure there might be some details they'll identify.

"If not, we always have the Orange Scarf, heh heh," he chuckled as he placed said scarf around the Blaziken's neck, only to be in for a bit of a surprise.

Roy's complexion hadn't changed much from the first time he put the Scarf on, but what did change was more pronounced. His cape was now a shade of purple on the outside, coupled with what looked like tears at the end of it. His armor and boots now had a regal appearance to them, and his wrists were covered with what Colt could only describe as gauntlets, even though they left room for his fingers.

Roy's response was direct. He removed the Scarf and placed it in Colt's hand. He poked it a few times and nodded. <Thank you.>

As the fire-type returned himself, Colt exhaled.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

-Shizuo waves back-

Archer: Why dragons? Why not ghosts or bugs or hell Grass types?

Mona: <I guess dragons have a natural superiority complex?>

Shizuo: Guess the Faries swatted them?

-Much dodging and firing of projectiles ensues-

-Except Gudrunn, who goes in swinging with the Purple Sword-

 Route 117, last night 

Ann: Like, some sort of icebreaker, I mean.

 Sootopolis, tonight 

Muddy: -To Setsuna- <That's... probably unlikely.>

Wonder if was a permanent plane ride...

Right...

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

AU!Shaun: "What's more intimidating - an army of Hydregions, Charizards, and Garchomps, an army of Mimikyu, Bannette, and Haunters, an army of Beautifly, Mothims, and Kricketune, or an army of Roselia, Abomasnow, and Cacturnes?"

-He tosses a Heal Ball up and down in his hand.-

Shaun: "Yes, the Dragons were narcissistic, and yes, the Fairy-types helped."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

-Blitz hugs Ramona back until Roxie comes to finish the official portion of her business-

F!Blitz: -Chuckles at the suddenly hugged gym leader- "Thanks a lot, Roxie!"

-Beat-

"Well, I'd say an event like this deserves some ice cream, eh?"

-Blitz grins and grabs Ramona's arm before starting out the door as well-

"Come on, my treat!"

-Beat-

"After we get Victor patched up at the center so he can have some too"

-"Ramona smiles back at her demon friend"-

Ramona: Right!

-"After getting Victor fixed up the center, the group make their way to an ice cream parlor."-

Ramona, thinking about what she'll get: Hmm, I wonder, should I get caramel, or bubblegum, ooh or sea salt chocolate? <3

-"Victor is glaring at everybody, angrily mumbling to him self."-

Victor: <I can't believe this. How could I lose a gym battle? This is all her fault.>

Lucy: <Don't blame others... for your own weakness.>

Victor: <BITE ME!>

-"They arrive at Vanilix cream ice cream parlor"-

Let's all have fun

-Fortis and Noelle have been explaining what they know of Scarlette and the OU to Lily(?)-

Noelle: ...And that's about all we know.

Lily(?): So she is alive!

Noelle: Well, yes. We're not sure if she's the same as the one from your universe, but she might be.

Lily(?): I knew it! Everyone said I should give up, that it's as likely she'll come back as it is the sun will, but I knew she was somewhere out there...

Fortis: We can bring her back! We're gonna bring the sun back too!

Lily(?): Really?

Noelle: Well... we're still working on that. Do you know anything about that black monster that stole it away? "The beast that devours the sun"?

Lily(?): Scarlette was looking into it before she disappeared. I don't know what happened, but I know where she was headed: The Altar of the Sunne, on Poni Island. I think that's where everything fell apart.

Fortis: Okay, let's go there then!

Lily(?): Hey, hold on! You're just gonna run over there, just like that?

Fortis: Uh huh!

Lily(?): That's crazy though! We're talking about the fiend that ended the world here!

Noelle: Well, we—

Lily(?): You have to take me with you!

Noelle: ...What?

Lily(?): C'mon, it might be hopeless but what have I got to lose? If I die to this thing, well, at least I'll go out fighting. That's better than sitting here waiting for the end.

Noelle: That's a rather grim outlook, but I think we can use all the help we can get.

Fortis: Uh huh!

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

F!Blitz: "Yeah, that's always the hard decision" -Headshake- "I'll probably just go with cookies n cream or rainbow sherbet personally"

-She turns to Victor for a moment- "And you, cheer up. Gym battles are a team sport, keep practicing and maybe you'll get some spotlight eventually"

-Once inside, Blitz glances to see if there are any nice quiet booths and goes to make an order-

Shizuo: -scoffs- I could deal with any of them.

-Mona rolls her eyes-

Archer: Okay... So how did things go back to normal?

Contact Me!

-"Ramona goes stary eyed at the selection before her."-

Ramona: Ooh, there's so many. Let's see, I think I'll go with the cotton candy on top of the bubble gum and some sea salt caramel under that but on top of some razzberry. Oh, and a vanilla for my lilliepup and a cream cicle for my Riolu. -Spots a nice booth by the window- hey miss demon, there's a good spot.

Victor: <Who does she think she is, ordering for me?>

Lucy: <your aura... says you like vanilla.>

Victor: <That's besides the point... And don't talk to my aura you weirdo>

Let's all have fun

Mordred: <See? She gets it.>

Artoria sighs.

A very bored-looking woman with green hair pulled back into a ponytail and glasses, the light glinting off of them partially obscuring her odd-colored eyes stands at a reception desk by the entrance of the casino, tapping the fingers of her right hand on the desk in front of her, leaning on her left hand. She wears a black suit and very fancy light teal gloves.

She looks up at Jay as she enters. "Bonjour et bienvenue au Casino Macraul, vous voulez jouer?"[[labelnote:translation]]Hello and welcome to the Casino Macraul, you wish to play?"

She sounds incredibly bored.

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

Friendo seems to be in a String Shot kind of mood today, since they shoot a jet of silk at Jester. More out of spite than to do anything really damaging.

Daydre sends out Rowan and Mr. Bitey, who Heat Wave and Fairy Wind at Jester, respectively.

EMPEROR: <It was a pleasure meeting you Tori Thorne! I hope our paths may one day cross again!>

He salutes, and backflips into the water.

<Thanks for the directions!> He shouts as he swims away.

Azure has been spinning indefinitely.

".. How long do you think he can keep that up?"

Rowan: <Who knows?>

off the shits

Kai: Ah. Hmm...

-A smile crosses her face.-

Kai: I think I could probably come up with something.

AU!Shaun: "They were eventually defeated."

Soujin chuckles at Shizuo's comment.

Jay: "What kind of stuff do you have in here?"

Herbert looks to Silas.

Herbert: <Hugs will come, George...>

Jester upon seeing the whole blown out in the floor, "Oh. Wow. Rude. I don't come into your home and ruin your nice clean floor."

Upon the attacks, "I'm a final boss everyone, it's not gon- OOWF!!"

Seems the Fairy Wind did something, Jester sits up grunting, "Okay you wanna play that way?"

Jester's appearance shifts to a large bladed top who starts spinning at high speed towards Daydre and Mr. Bitey.

<Nous sommes juste là pour regarder autour,> Silas spoke.

Silas turned back to Herbert, <Arrêtez sérieusement de m'appeler George, je m'appelle Silas. L'enfer appelant même mon Stylus serait meilleur.>

<non signifie non.>

Herbert stops for a bit.

Herbert: <Well, Stylus....>

<I want a George, you don't wanna be a George. You help me get a George to take your place, you can stop being George.>

He smiles.

<Sound good, George?>

Megan: Awesome~!

Thanks so much!
