ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Artoria: "Slateport works. It's... that way. I think. Hopefully...."

Somewhere in Pinwheel Forest...

Leo: Okay, here should be good. *raises voice, mostly so Automa can hear him* Automa, LAND!

And Automa stopped using Fly, causing everyone to start plummeting to the ground.

Leo: *grabs onto Automa's hand, trying not to lose his grip* AIIIIIIIEEEEEK!

AC: *grabs onto the inside of Leo's hood* <AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!>

Automa's legs come out at the last minute and the team lands with a loud thud, resulting in a quake that can be felt nearby.

Cerbeau: *grip still tight* <We should REALLY teach him how to land properly...>

Leo: *shaking a lot* EYUHHH.

AC: <Ugh...>

Automa: *lowers hand so Leo can get off* <SOR...RY...>

Leo: *shakily gets off* I-it's f-fine...

"It's only been a month!"

---

Clerk 💜: "Cool. Yo Xel!"

-A Xatu lifts his head from the latest copy of [Reader's Digest].-

Xel: <Yes yes.>

-He envelops the Ylissean Royal Siblings in a green light.-

---

Xel: <Here you are. Safe travels.>

-He disappears. Lucina looks around.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

-yeah, probably-

-though she notices this fairly quickly and lets go, dropping to the ground-

Brie: That was...incredibly fast. I...wow.

-she rearranges some stray hairs-

...So Meteor Falls, huh? You know they say there are Bagon here, but I never found any.

-PEFE!Every now has a card-

-she blinks-

PEFE!Every: Ever!

Ever: -examining another news broadcast about Rabbids- Hmm?

PEFE!Every: I somehow made her cry. Help.

-Ever tilts his head-

Ever: What did you...

-he looks at the card-

-giggles-

-and then falls over laughing-

PEFE!Every: What are you laughing about? Psyche—

Ever: I think you did good, PEFE!Every. Nice work.

PEFE!Every: ...Are you being sarcastic?

Ever: I'm not. Promise.

PEFE!Every: ...Oh.

-Ever grins, and returns to his info gathering. PEFE!Every blinks at Ever, and then at the card, and smiles, pressing it to her-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Corrin: I believe so, yes. Let's go, then?

-Spectrum retreats to a corner to nap off the overexertion.-

Kai: From what I hear, their dens tend to be up past the falls, where you need some way of climbing up. I suspect it's one of the reasons Waterfall authorization is given so late in Hoenn League challengers' run, so that only those with proper experience and care can even risk disturbing them.

Leo: *grabs his bag out of Automa's hand* A-anyway, Automa, I have something I wanted to show you...

Automa: *gesturing to Rocky* <FRIEND FOR ROC-KY?>

Leo: *rummaging through bag* Well, uh...no. *takes out the teal scarf* But I wanted to show you so you aren't confused.

Automa: *confused sort-of tone* <WHAT BLUE MEAN?>

Leo: Eh heh, you'll see...

Leo puts on the scarf, and there's suddenly a Golett where Leo once stood, who's wearing a teal scarf.

Golett!Leo: <EUHH...SURPRISE!>

Automa: *surprised tone, an actual tone* <BLUE?!> *steps closer to Leo, nearly stepping on AC, who ends up jumping out of the way*

AC: <Hey! Watch where yer going!>

Golett!Leo: *trying to calm Automa down* <P-PLEASE DON'T FREAK OUT! I'M STILL ME AND ALL.>

Automa: <HOW BLUE DO THAT?!>

Golett!Leo: *points to the scarf* <IT'S BECAUSE I'M WEARING THIS SCARF. WATCH!>

Leo takes off the scarf... And he changes back!

Automa: *interested tone* <OOH...> *gesturing to "Rocky"* <AGAIN FOR ROC-KY?>

Leo: I'm pretty sure Rocky saw it.

Cerbeau: *floats next to Leo* <Not only that, but Leo can understand us now!>

Automa: <OOH!>

Brie: ...You know, that would make sense. I always wondered why Waterfall was like that...

Ah well. Ever already has a Salamence, and there's like, this unspoken rule we've all got going not to overlap.

...Well, everyone but Every, but like, she didn't even talk to us until last year, so.

Anyway, I've got Atlantis already. She's great.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Kai: Heh, fair enough. Still, we both know we're more than capable trainers, so what do you say to heading up there just to mark that off the list? I haven't really been around here much personally except in passing anyway.

-"Ramona is filming herself again, getting pumped for a gym battle."-

Ramona, filming: Whad up ma demons, it's yer girl. So, yesterday we weren't able to battle burgh because it was Valentines day, but today, we're gonna go and beat his bug butt... I should edit that later. Anywho, today we're gonna get the Insect badge, with the help of -points camer at her mons starting with Lucy, then ending with Victor- luck little Lucy.

Lucy: <Hello... I'm tall now... I don't like it>

'Ramona, filming Aya: Awsomely amazing Aya.

Aya: <Why are you filming, humans are weird.>

Ramona, filming Norma: Neat new Norma.

Norma, angry: <Call me darkness, DARKNESS!>

Ramona, filming Victor: And victoresly vital Victor.

Victor: <...yeah, sure.>

Ramona, pumped: YEAH, <3. Aint noden gonna stand in our way. -Ramona hears the news on the TV about the wishmer and the washing machines- ...Adorable animals are falling from the sky, Must, Hug, Now <3

-"Ramona rushes out of the room, her egg in her arms, and her mons fallowing her."-

Aya: <Are-are we taking on the gym or not?>

Lucy: <...don't know>

Norma, crying: <''Stop making your dark empress run, exorcise isn't good for her.>

-"Ramona rushes out the door

Let's all have fun

Brie: Yeah, sure! That sounds like it would be cool.

-she sends out Foam-

Foam: <Ah! We are among the bats! I will join them in the air!>

Brie: Esper—

Foam used Bounce!

But it failed...

Brie: ...Are you okay?

Foam: <I am well, naturally!>

Brie: Alright, 'cause I actually need you for, uh...water travel.

Foam: <...Huh.>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Liberty: -is indeed brought down by Foul Play, and steps up, about to launch another Flamethrower-

-however, Channah abruptly withdraws him upon seeing her brother return to the scene-

Channah: Eh, that's enough. -to Colt- Congrats. And what do I have a point about?

Channah: -is lying in the grass, staring at the sky-

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

-Phoenix, seeing a small crowd in a normally quiet area, decides to land. Bout a 70% chance it's J-Team, he figures.-

Phoenix: Any info on these guys?

-Kai giggles at Foam-

Kai: Yeah, sadly air travel is not all that effective in caves when you're bigger than a bat. I see why Skye hates caves so much. Think you could get us up the falls?

Leo: Soo...where did the TV say the thing was happening?

Cerbeau: <I think it was in Castelia City?>

Automa: <WHAT...?>

[insert something relating to myself here]

Foam: <Well, I suppose if I must...>

Brie: -nods surreptitiously to Kai-

Ready, Foam?

-she climbs onto the Mantine, taking a position just behind his head and draping her legs over his sides, in front of his wings-

Alright, Kai, your turn to hold on tight!

-she flashes a bright smile-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Artoria nods. "Yes! Let us be off." Morgan: "... Well, that was easy. Thank you again."

Cynthia looks around as well. "I... guess we ask around?"

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

(That's obviously not flirting. Obviously.)

-Kai returns an equally bright smile.-

Kai: Oh, of course, I know how rough a ride it'll be.

-She climbs on and holds on to Brie.-

-Corrin nods, takes another look at the map, and heads out.-

Artoria follows Corrin out.

Brie: Alright! Foam, let's do this! Waterfall!

-Foam glides over to the waterfall, staring at it-

-it's possible to use Waterfall by just flinging yourself upwards. Foam takes the more expedient route of simply making the water flow upstream-

Foam: <SKYWARDS!>

-Brie clings tightly to him-

Brie: gah this is why i don't fly on youuuuu—

-and they're at the top!-

Brie: Sorry about that. You good?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Verdanturf

Rei was about to dig her claws into the ground to summon an Icicle Crash to counter before Channah called it off. She jeered before returning herself.

"Less you and more your Cinccino - psychological turmoil doesn't go away because managers change - that's the kind of thing that can haunt you for eternity.

"Especially if they were hatched by said douchebags," Colt mused, recalling that Lucario was one such victim.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

-The two come out of the south Mauville gate, and Corrin looks at Cycling Road-

Corrin: So, I heard that apparently the upper road is restricted in some way? I never really got the details.

Kai: Eeeep!

-It's safe to say, Kai is definitely clinging very tightly after that. She's sorta laughing, as one might after a particularly exhilarating roller coaster. The waterfall spray has also left her clothes and hair thoroughly soaked — although at least the coat is semi-waterproof.-

Kai: Haha, wow, been forever since I've done that!

Artoria: "I think it's restricted to people on bicycles. I wonder if motorcycles count..."

"Or, at least, it looks like a number of roads in other regions that have similar restrictions."

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

Channah: Yep, that'll do it. Dolabella's not gonna change much. I don't mind 'cause he's cute. And really needy...

Garrett: -walking over- Aw, c'mon, you could've had that!

Channah: Not with one Pokémon left.

Garrett: Point. Ah, well. I'm off to explore Hoenn, adios. Seeeeee you later! -gets on Mewtwo and flies away-

Channah: Hopefully not. -to Colt- Anyway. GG and stuff.

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

Brie: Honestly, same! Normally I just fly everywhere; I don't think I've needed to use any of the other field moves in a long while.

-she squeezes some of the water out of her ponytail-

....Uh, we're past the rough bit. You can let go. Uh, if you want to.

Foam: <Would that mean that, if she doesn't, she can't?>

Brie: ...Um?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Corrin: Uh... huh.

-It is immediately clear that bicycles, and especially motorcycles, do not exist in the world of Fire Emblem.-

Kai: O-oh, right! Luckily "if you want" isn't nearly that binding, in most circumstances.

-...-

-...-

-...-

-It's a few seconds before she actually lets go.-

Kai: Sorry. Yes.

-She wrings out her hair as well.-
