ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Shaun looks up from his book, sees the people in white, and sighs.-

---

Shaun: "In the meantime, you're welcome to stay here. We have plenty of spare rooms."

Lucina: "Can you give us a moment?"

-Shaun, Ace, and Beowulf nod and step away.-

-Lucina crosses her arms and looks at her siblings.-

Lucina: "...I trust him. I'm not sure why, but I do."

-Bear in mind Luci's still wearing her Spring outfit.-

Somebody find me a carrot.

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Ever: Hey now, Cinnamon.

Gattaca: <She's not wrong. At least match shades.>

Ever: (to Mezzo) Well, I've definitely got a Keyblade in here somewhere.

-he giggles-

I'm just trying out the look. What do you think?

-he flops upside-down onto the couch to watch Mezzo play-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Mezzo: It's not bad.

-she cuddles up to Ever just as Mario gets incinerated again-

Cinnamon: <That one was totally your fault.>

Mezzo: Gee, thanks.

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

Ever: Whoops. Guess I'm a distraction.

-he snuggles in-

But I believe in you.

Gattaca: <Why?>

Ever: I mean, she's still better at this than I am.

Gattaca: <Not a high bar.>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Morgan: "I trust him far more than Mobius, at least."

Cynthia nods. "I agree."

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

Channah: Yeah... Um, well, anyway, thanks for. Listening to me.

A wild GLOOM appeared out of nowhere!

Wild Gloom: <I must avenge my brothers! For Begnion!> -sprays Acid in Channah's direction-

Channah: Oh hell. -transforms and chases it away with Peck. She returns shortly after having won, sighing. Suddenly she begins glowing oddly- <...Eh?>

What's this? Your CHANNAH is evolving!

Congratulations! Your CHANNAH evolved into FLETCHINDER!

Channah: <...> ㄟ( ･◇･ )ㄏ

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

 Route 121, past 

-Impressed-

Cool... Maybe I should get Aya out Not sure if you remember her, she's my Talonflame for when you actually fully evolve.

Should I still stick with "little bird" for her?

...

...

...

Yes.

-Yawns-

Or maybe tomorrow, or sometime after that. I'm kinda tired, and I'm sure you're tired too.

-As I start walking back towards Lilycove-

The Gloom mentioned Begnion... I wonder...

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Whittington

<Yes, quite. It's unfortunate but just a part of doing business with the...>

-He pondered and searched his person a little-

<Ah nevermind the keytarblade is probably somewhere on me or just hidden behind the scenes as it were. Now! I can probably deduce our location from the facts. Let's see...>

-He steps around, looks carefully at the architecture, then the sky, then a passerby (earning some uncomfortable silent stares) before settling on the shotgun-

<Ah, I've got it, we're..! Wait, no, sorry I don't have it...>

Pibwaaaaahna Plant Battle

-Pent remains pretty quiet as he sets up a few shots on the feisty plantacular hybrid-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Alola League

-The blonde Zoroark staggers back, retching, from the foot that had just collided with her abdomen.-

Anastasia: <You're pretty good.>

-The Zoroark looks up at the Tsarneena. Despite the tears, wounds, and bruises, the Grass-Type still stood tall. The edges of Priere's vision begin to blur.-

Priere: <Pretty... good...?>

-Priere collapses.-

Ludmilla: WOOOO!

Axel: WAIT!

-Axel recalls the Zoroark.-

Axel: I still have one more!

Ludmilla: Wait, seriously?

Axel: Go, Asagi!

-A second Pokeball, much older than the rest, goes flying out. It releases a yellow Gengar that... appears to be wearing a thick, silver jacket.-

Asagi: <Ultimate Commando Asagi, ready to fight!>

Anastasia: <... Hmph. Whatev.>

Ludmilla: Trop Kick!

Axel: Asagi, dodge and fire a Flamethrower!

-The Gengar, with shocking dexterity, ducks under the kick before thrusting her hands forward and spewing a gout of flames right into Anastasia's face.-

Ludmilla: Woah! She's fast...

Anastasia: <Sit still.>

-Lucina nods.-

Lucina: "It's settled, then. Shaun, please show us to our quarters."

-Shaun nods and motions for everyone to follow.-

JESSICA LET ME OUT

I just need a few more hours!

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

-Initiation day.-

-A small crowd of birdmons, all prospective Bronze Birds applicants, have gathered as per their summoning the previous day. Some have come alone, but others have come together, and are passing the waiting time with idle chatter amongst themselves.-

-Among the crowd are, of course, Soleil and Semigloss. The former is all poofed up in excitement, ready for whatever comes next.-

Morgan and Cynthia follow after.

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

-Semigloss is rather agitatedly hopping from foot to foot, fluttering her wings-

-this is the most peoplemons she's ever been around in her life, and she's sticking close to Soleil-

Semigloss: <Eeeee I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait!>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Soleil beams-

Soleil: <I know! It's so exciting I'm so ready for this!>

-The lights dim slightly, and a Swellow donning the Bronze Birds cape comes out, smiling. The crowd falls to a hush.-

Soleil: <Aaaaaa it's starting!>

-The Swellow — whom Semigloss should immediately recognize — waves a wing.-

Kattraea: <Hello, all of you! It is always a pleasure to see so many new faces gathered. Captain Kattraea, at your service!>

Semigloss: < ovo >

<ovo>

<*v*>

-she tugs on Soleil's wing frantically. How does she do this with no hands? Great question-

-next question-

Semigloss: <Soleil Soleil that's her she's the one who saved the shop she's so cool!>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-The Weed Team were totally here this whole time I swear-

-Izana is perched on Tagg's shoulder, humming something-

-He probably still is-

-The Ziggies and Hoppers mobilize and fire-

-The Carnivbbid sputters from being shot in the maw, but the other attacks mostly do scratch damage-

-The Carnivbbid then bwahs and produces a staff, which aims fireballs at the group-

-Notably, there are boxes with flame markings scattered around the battlefield-

-At the mention of her name a certain Swoobat bursts out of her ball-

Marina: <Somebody need my service->

-blinks-

<Wait, we're back?>

-Umbra holds up his hands-

Umbra: Um, I can't say I've never associated with pirates, but I'm not in leauge with the pirates you're thinking of.

-Ammy's hands go to her Pokeballs-

-An Alolan Rattata wearing a bowlet hat nearby looks at the scene and groans, before starting to scoot away. He may be noticed or bumped into-

Metang: <We should be fine, I hope...>

Svin: <Say, what's your name anyway?>

Metang: <Oh, me? It's Mul...>

Archer: Are those...

-the people in white start looking and murmuring-

...Shit.

Voyd: -to Metagross- Bingo!

-to Vi- What is it?

Contact Me!

-Lily(?) is walking through the streets and spots a familiar face-

Lily(?): Whoa, hold up.

-specifically, one that looks just like her!-

Lily: Huh?

Lily(?): Are you... me?

-Lily looks at Lily(?) and does a double take-

Lily: Uh, yeah...? But then what does that make you?

Lily(?): Hi! I'm you from another universe!

Lily: Oh, awesome!

Lily(?): Yeah!

-the two Lilies high-five each other-

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

Beanie sees the white-robed people.

Beanie: <Th-them? They're here? What are we gonna do?>

Decidueye: <If you are, then what about them?>

Chum: <Wait, you talking about Hook? He's... we're not with her.>

The Lycanroc looks at the group.

Lycanroc: <Mm... I don't think he's lying, sir.>

-The birb gives a chirpy chuckle at Kaine's reaction, though it's unclear if she heard the tiny text or not-

Down: <Indeed>

-Climate change!-

-Chirp- <Definitely not in [Northern Sinnoh] anymore>

-At the new Metagross- <The name's Down, by the way>

Shinobi: -Nods slowly- <Yeah>

-And hill crest!-

<This the place?>

-He headtilts at the falling rock and apparent presence of an unknown personage-

<Guess we're not the only ones looking to do some exploring>

-The pink frog heads down the hill to investigate-

 Probably Lilycove 

 Pinwheel 

Rabbid!Ann: -Starts pointing at the flame boxes from her cover-

Ann: I know!

-Tries seeing if she can knock one of the boxes at the Carnivbbid-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Pinwheel Mishmash

Sylveon went in front of everyone and rained down fire from Category 5. While she did, Colt grabbed his phone and texted a response.

After the phone was pocketed, a shot fired from Cold Blood which was followed by a Pot Shot shot, both directed at the other Rabbids that would give them hell.

Whittington

Amaterasu looked up from her reverie. "Hook?" She asked as she stood up. "Ah great, what's he up to?"

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

Shaun: "You know them? From experience, groups of people in white usually aren't good."

Alright, I've done it! I'm relinquishing narrative control!

But you didn't do anything.

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Soleil: <Aaaaaaaaa!>

-Kattraea briefly notices the very excited, somewhat familiar Swablu, and gives a nod of acknowledgement, before returning her focus to the crowd as a whole.-

Kattraea: <I remember being where you folks are now, anxiously awaiting my chance to become one of the very heroes I've heard so many stories about as a child, and sought to tell the tales of personally. For some, the chance sweeps you off your feet unprepared, and the next thing you know, you're in the middle of the action! It's thrilling, to be sure. Sometimes, it can be scary. But as a Bronze Bird, I can assure you that there will always be allies nearby to lend their support in urgent times, and as partners as well as an organization, we will do everything in our power to make sure the day is saved.>

-She grins a bird grin, and glances at a few of the crowd members that appear to have accompanied each other — once again, including Soleil and Semigloss.-

Kattraea: <Some of you, of course, already know your allies personally. Some of you came here with a partner, or even a team you're hoping to stick by. Knowing this, we at the Bronze Birds have made partnership and teamwork a primary element of your training from the very first step — your first training missions will be in small groups. For those who have already made friends amongst your fellow cadets, I'd like you to come forward first.>

-Soleil nudges Semigloss-

Soleil: <That's us! That's us that's us that's us!>

Semigloss: <Right! Let's go!>

-she flutters up to the front, waving to anyone else who comes forward-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-they take cover as best as they can behind the Aqua Rings, which is...not very, still struck by blaster fire and lightning blasts-

-but using a similar technique as in the Chaos fight, Vee slams some of the floating water expelled from her giant form into some incoming fireballs, dissipating them-

Vee: -huffs- <Sorry, Meg, I don't think I'm up for another giant-rush. Takes a lot outta me...>

Megan: -frantically healing them- It's fine, it's fine—

Hey. If they "die", they just reform back at base, right?

-concerned glance from Pippy-

Field test. Gelid—

-Pippy hesitates, then starts up a martial-arts-like Swords Dance, the floating mass of water above them roiling-

End!

-and with the slash of a flipper, it splits and dives at the Carnibwahne and the massed Rabbids, flash-freezing into dozens of dagger-sharp spears of ice-

Pippy used Avalanche!

-seeing the impact, those at the Carnivbbid are vaguely focused at the mouth area-

-and noticing Ann, Rabbid!Megan dashes over to a fire block and attempts to hammer it at the Carnibwahne-

Rabbid!Megan: -still panicked- —AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA—

Thespi: <Oh, don't worry, we're on a magic quest to stop the pirates!> ^_^

Ceal: <W-we have issues of our own with their new allies...>

-the Plusle and Minun notice the Rattatta-

-being a Rattatta and not a Raticate, this cannot be the Raticate they're looking for, and assuming they're related'd be kinda rude-

-but, bowler hats are always suspicious, so they wander over-

Plusle: -brightly- <Hey there, friend!>

Minun: <...don't seem too happy to see us.>
