ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Corrin just tilts her head at the "Valentine's Day" comment, but it quickly leaves her thoughts as she sees Artoria's current state.-

Corrin: Artoria... gods, you look like a mess, did something happen?

Mordred: "Right, have fun you two." -She walks off.-

Artoria: "I... slept in."

Mordred pokes her head back around the corner. "BY SIX FUCKING HOURS!"

Artoria: "..."

She looks down.

 Slateport City, Etran's house

Etran knocked on the door to his parent's house. After only one knock, the door flew open and his fifteen year old sister greeted him with a big hug.

"Etran!" Shouted Eve. "It's been a while.

"That it has, "Etran said, letting go of Eve. "Hey, been taking care of Spintop?"

"You know it," Eve said. "We just keep winning, it seems."

"I figured," Etran said. "Mom and Dad home?"

"Valentine's date, actually. They'll be home late."

"Gotcha. May I come in?"

"Always."

Etran entered his family's house and closed the door behind him.

-Corrin puts a hand on Artoria's arm-

Corrin: Artoria, you can talk to me about things, you know? Mordred said in the text that I had a very hard time getting Near to actually tell me about^* Near: -shrugs- that you've been in a down mood more than just this morning.

Channah: Mm, alright. She's kind of a -

-suddenly, an Exeggutor totters toward them-

Channah: -blinks, then doubletakes, and her pupils dilate as she stills-

Female Exeggutor: -one head addresses Channah- <Hello, my dear.> -another head speaks- <It has been a long, long time…>

Channah: No. Arcanine…? No…

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

Mordred pops her head around the corner again, glares at Near, and then disappears again.

Artoria: "I... the conversation at the party about alternate universes and choices reminded me of... unpleasant memories."

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

Corrin: ...Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up bad memories yet again... This was what you said you wanted to talk about after the party, then?

 Verdanturf 

-Looking from Channah, to the Exeggutor, to back to Channah again-

What's going on? Are you okay?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Verdanturf

Colt looked over and saw Big Savings waving to him. He approached. “Is your trainer busy?” He asked, bag wrapped around his shoulder.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Artoria nods.

Artoria: "I... I owe you an explanation. My tragic backstory, so to speak. Why it's such a touchy subject."

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

Big Savings: -holds up a tentacle to Colt as if to say "one minute"-

Montanari: -to Colt- <This will just be a few minutes, she'll be ready to battle you soon.>

Channah: -to Tagg- Not anymore.

Exeggutor: -the last head speaks- <And you are due for a visit!> -psychically levitates a pair of large fallen branches from a nearby tree, waving them in a directional manner while staring at Channah with three fixed grins-

-the sound of powerful flapping wings reaches them, it's an Aerodactyl touching down nearby, carrying an adult man on its back. It lets out a savage roar as it lands-

Channah: No...

Male Aerodactyl: -whining, to the Exeggutor- <I can land just fine, you know, I don't need friggin ground control...>

Man: -tersely, to the Aerodactyl- Right, time to shut up. -hops off and strides toward Tagg and Channah; upon closer inspection he looks to be in his thirties, [Korean], and is dressed sharply; he waves at them with a red envelope in one hand- Hallo over there~! Happy Valentine's Day!

Channah: >_< -pinches the bridge of her nose and slowly inhales that sweet Verdanturf air-

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

Finn: "Yeah, #17 under Sergeant Montgomery."

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

Corrin: ...If you feel like you must, then, I will certainly listen.

-She comes inside.-

 Verdanturf 

-Just looks kinda around kinda awkwardly-

Muddy: <You think this guy is-

Possibly.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Verdanturf

Oh yeah, Colt realized. He sat down and ate a few more lemon drops before he grabbed that new pair of gloves. They just looked kinda cool, and they made channeling Obscura a little easier. With his free hand not holding the box, he grabbed the Prax Obscura and started leafing through it, curious if there were any moves he missed out on he’d find worthwhile.

Brutal Swing and Torment seem pretty cool, but I really need to get down Night Daze.

“Eh, take as much time as ya need,” Colt waved off. “We can wait.”

Hasslemon

AZ: C’mon, c’mon c’mon...

DD: I feel ya, Rei.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Megan will likely receive a watercolor illustration of several flowers of indeterminate species and a small box of chocolates.

And by likely receive I mean a disgruntled looking Togetic will appear (somehow), place the items in front of her, and leave before he can be asked any questions.

off the shits

Montanari: -to Colt- <Yes, it shouldn't be long.>

Man -to Channah- Letter for you! -holds out the card-

Channah: -stalks over and takes it roughly from his hand, then says flatly- You're in Angela.

Man: Not anymore~ Wow, Channah, your hair got long! You look [Amish]! Hug? -spreads his hands-

Channah: ... -very reluctantly leans over and gives him the world's weakest sidehug-

Man: Awww, you missed me. -steps back and looks at the others- ...Hey there!

Channah: Fuck. -to the Aerodactyl- Mewtwo, pick him up and drop him into Mt. Chimney. It's not far.

Mewtwo the Aerodactyl: <Sorry, he insisted.>

Garrett: Gonna introduce me?

Channah: -to Tagg, she hasn't noticed Colt yet- Tagg, my brother. Garrett, Tagg. -to Garrett- You just... Why.

Garrett: Wynaut? It's been three years since we've seen each other!

Channah: Which is not long enough.

Garrett: -to Tagg- I hope she hasn't been this rude to you.

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

Artoria: "I..." She looks down, still sitting on the edge of the bed. "Years ago. Mordred and I were hatched. Our trainer was not the... best of individuals. Simply put he was an assassin. Until he met the woman who was to be the love of his life. He... changed. Settled down. He did something similar to what the J-team did now... though with fewer scruples about killing."

"They found themselves in Orre. About five, five and a half years ago, now. Cipher caught my trainer's attention. To sum up a month of painful memories, his lover vanished, and is presumed dead. He tried to fight Cipher by himself. Mordred and I - the last thing he said to me was that we were the second-best thing that had happened to him, besides his love, before sending us back to Alola. He got himself killed shortly after." She looks up at Corrin, tears in her eyes. "Why? I could have protected him! Why... why..."

She starts sobbing.

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

Aw, she's still sleeping. I bet she's dreaming about the love of her life!

Mezzo: Shut up, Sunny.

Hey! That's not very nice! I'm just trying to help here, you know!

Noelle receives a bundle of white flowers and a box of chocolates from Psyche! That's so sweet!

Noelle: Awww... I love you too, Psyche, wherever you are.

Marine: <Again?>

Shadow: <He does this every year.>

-The phone is still quiet, no happy valentine's day text or lame E-cards or anything-

....

-Awkward-

.........

-The bespectacled boy might be tackleglomped from behind!-

 Verdanturf 

Guess I was right.

-To Garrett-

Nice to meet you. We've gotten along mostly okay, if that's what you're wondering.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Lucina: "Hmm."

Jessica: "Hmmph."

-She tosses the card to the side and opens the box.-

Shaun: "I'm impressed."

-Jessics grins as Shaun investigates the three-tier chocolate cake in front of him.-

Jessica: "And this was my back-up plan!"

Shaun: "...what was the original?"

Jessica: "Me, reclining nude, covered in ice cream toppings."

Shaun: "..."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Heracles: -snarls in a "he's quite decorated" fashion-

La: Wow. He is pretty cute...

Ilya: So how's your date been so far?

-Meanwhile, Alonya and Owen are finishing their burgers-

Alonya: Mmm, now that hit the spot...

Owen: I was hoping to not have to do this in something like a food court but the show must go on...

Yes! And now we've had our fill...

Owen: We dance!

-Alonya blinks, but she gets up and dances-

-Ilya and La get up and dance too-

-Heracles dances with Finn-

-The whole food court dances on this Valentine's Day-
