ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Soleil: <Ooh, good point!>

-Sure enough, as they head down deeper, they can start hearing an echoing, intermittent beeping, along with a distant...-

???: <aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa>

Rabbid!Megan: -somewhere?- BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~

Pippy: -seeing Deziree searching frantically for...some sort of bracelet, obviously of some personal value- <Oh no...>

Megan: Um...Pollen, can you see anything?

Pollen: <Uh—okay! I'll do my best!>

-significantly less brightly- <I see people, not things, but whatever...>

-halfhearted attempt at an Aura Scan-

Plusle: <You won't get awaaaaay~>

Minun: -giggles-

-they zip through the air after Ammy, following the Crobat-

Thespi: <H-hey! Wait up!>

-further behind, she follows Marina, whether she's going in the same direction as Ammy or not-

Tripod: -disgruntled beep-

-glance back to where Ceal is, glance in the direction the bunnies went, possible glance in the direction Thespi went-

-then a mechanical sigh, and a decision to follow Thespi, which they do-

Back There

Ceal: <Wh-whoa, don't kill! W-we need them alive!>

-hastily- <When the moon hits your eye like a spear from the sky that's a Moonblast~>

-boom from above-

Whittington

Basil: <Haha, yes! He'll have to return to his hideout eventually, we've got him!>

The group is indeed all still chasing after Fidget.

After a bit of slowing down, he starts to flap slowly, stopping in a dark room.

Amos gets struck by the Shadow Claw, stopping the Leaf Blade and getting him to turn around, angry.>

Amos: <What'd you do that for?>

And in comes the Moonblast. It knocks out Tod.

Copper lets out a huff.

Copper: <Well, he's down now, at least.>

Ever: Like, shouldn't we at least try to figure out a better way of hurting them? One Z-move didn't do it, who's to say two will?

Brie: -grumble-

PEFE!Every: Ideally, the next time this creature appears, we ought to conduct reconnaissance.

Ever: That Is Not The Adventuring Way.

PEFE!Every: The adventuring way put me in the hospital for a week.

Ever: Fair Point.

PEFE!Every: Why are you talking like that?

Ever: -shrug-

-Brie buries her head in her hands exasperatedly-

-Semigloss's antennae stick straight up-

Semigloss: <That must be them! C'mon, Soleil!>

-using Aerial Ace to accelerate, she zips towards the source of the noise-

Cinnamon: <Wait, what's the Adventuring Way?>

Felis: <Run in, take everything that's not nailed down, and leave before anyone catches you.>

Cinnamon: <Really?>

Mezzo: Yeah, he's pretty much right.

Soleil: <Aah hey wait up!>

-She rushes after Semigloss, trying to keep up with Quick Attack. Eventually, though, the two sounds start to become more distinct.-

Soleil: <...Um, Glossie? I think they're coming from two different things.>

-Indeed, the <aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa> seems to be coming from a much twistier, turnier, spookier cave path than the beeping is.-

-A girl wrapped up in a red hoodie comes inside the Stormchaser, carrying a grocery bag, and passes by the Memito Complex while noticeably trying her best to not be noticed.-

Pinwheel Forest

“Oh, so we haven’t met, good,” Colt exhaled as he approached. “Why do you need this bracelet?”

Whittington

Amaterasu and Rei, with no other idea what to do, had tracked down and were following the grounded search party. The Sneasel had returned herself, actually, not very interested in what was going on. Amaterasu herself balanced what the group was doing with what she had heard.

“Mobius, wasn’t that the group in that other universe that summoned Dark Hide?” She asked herself. “Okay, I think I have a villain, now we just have to beat them,” she decided as her shirt now read “気”. She stayed silent, but still had a bit of confusion in her eyes, which also betrayed by a few nervous tugs on her scarf.

-Ammy and Marina slow down and look around-

Umbra: ...Ceal's right, we need the pirates alive.

Enzo: <Really? I was hoping they wouldn't leak my presence to the others... I guess we could convince them to keep their yaps shut.>

Ereth: <I could do the convincing, I guess?>

-Rose bumps into a Jared carring a Bagon-

Jared: Oops, I was getting these Jangmo-o and this Bagon off the coffee table!

Bagon!Jackie: <Long story.>

Ever: Pretty much, Felis. (to PEFE!Every) See, if you'd followed those steps exactly, you'd have been fine.

PEFE!Every: -sighs-

Wait, is that...

Ever: ...Excuse me? Red hoodie?

-Semigloss blinks-

<Um.>

-and stops at the fork in the passageways-

<...Do you think someone's actually in trouble in there?>

Plusle: <Ahahahaha, we've got you now~>

Minun: -grin-

-they advance, renewed Electrowebs crackling-

Thespi: -bringing up the rear, sees- <...oh.>

<Oh shit. Oh no no no...>

Tripod: ?

Thespi: <Can't you see?>

<This is a world of stories!>

<And in stories, when we chase the lone, helpless bad guy into a place with loads of concealment, we, it—>

Back There

Ceal: -tense, charges up another Moonblast-

Soleil: <Maybe, but... do you think we should find them? This is only our first mission, and I'm definitely not prepared for a huge fight.>

-The beeping does sound a bit closer and easier to reach... but also, not especially close.-

???: <aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa>

-Rose bumps into Jared, but tries to keep moving without meeting his gaze.-

Rose: Sorry about that—

-She stops as Ever specifically identifies her.-

-She turns to look at him.-

Rose: ...Um. Hey.

-Ever blinks a couple times-

Ever: ...Okay, yeah. That's you. Everything alright?

Semigloss: <I mean...me neither. But...we can't just leave them, can we?>

Jared: Waitaminute... You're the girl that's been hidimg in the Stormchaser like some kind of B-Movie cryptid!

Bagon!Jackie: <Jared, it's true, but you shouldn't say it.>

Jared: What happened to you, dudette?

Fusewheel Forest

Deziree: My Bracelet! My greatest invention! It's gone!

-She takes a moment to take a few deep breaths. Meanwhile, the Aura Scan shows essentially nothing that wasn't already evident.-

Deziree: I was flying over on a hoverscooter to see what the local anomalies were about, then some weirdo Whismur jumped onto the thing, crashed me into a tree, and I went flying and got stuck in that tree. Then the little monsters started poking me with sticks!

Soleil: <I don't know! I... my gut says we need to, but my mind says we can't, and I just...>

-She looks between the two.-

Soleil: <...I... want to help whoever it is. That's what heroes do, right?>

Rose: ...Oh. Yeah. I'm fine. I'm just having an off day.

-From the looks of it, she's been having "off days" for a while now.-

 Stormchaser 

-Looking at the hydroponic garden-

Plants seem to be doing okay...

 Pinwheel 

Ann: -Dryly- Sounds about right for Rabbids...

Semigloss: <...Yeah. Let's go.>

-she takes off towards the screaming-

Ever: Relatable. But you've clearly been on the Stormchaser, since you're buying groceries and bringing them here, but despite the fact that I have also been on the Stormchaser for over a month, I haven't seen you at all. Sooooo....

D is in his office.

Lina: OK, don't panic, mabye we could find it... Did one of the Rabbids have it on them?

-the others start looking around-

Jared: ...Yeah, you look depressed. You should get help.

Bagon!Jackie: <Oh, great, now we're playing therapist.>

-Mulitiman approaches D, twiddling his fingers-

Dr. Multiman: So. I have good news and bad news.

D hastily puts out his cigarette and sits straight up.

"Boss! I didn't see you there. Uh, what's the news?"

-Sumia wriggles her neck into the hug. Lucina leans against the doorframe and smiles lightly.-

-Before frowning.-

Lucina: "Wait...how come you two are here?"

Copper: <Well, like I said, we got some history with this Zoroark so, yeah, that's why we wanted to deal with him.>

The Barbaracle, meanwhile, is getting up. He doesn't look like he can really fight, but he's conscious enough to be asked for info or such.

As Thespi uses Flash , the room illuminates, displaying Ratigan and his minions standing around the room, applauding with a banner that says 'Welcome, Basil!' on it.

Basil: <...Oh, drat.>

Ratigan: <Congratulations.>

Togedemaru: <Congratulations.>

Watchog: <Congratulations!>

Floatzel: <Congratulations.>

Fidget: <Grats, fellas.>

This continues on for the large number of minions surrounding the party.

Pinwheel Forest

I have a feeling if there is a Rabbid that looks and acts like an over the top parody of Dez, the bracer will be with it.

Whittington, Pirates!

-Pent's here, just standing at the back judging these pirates silently-

-He has engaged maximum glare-

-Unfortunately he's still a bunny. Then again he's likely taller than most of these pirates?-

"Oh. ... Ow."

"What exactly did the bracelet do?"

-"Ramona happily skips up to the gym, after spending the night in a hotel."-

Ramona, pumped: Alrighty, everybody's all rested up, so it's time to get anuder badge.

-"Victor and Ramonas other mons waddle up behind her."-

Aya: <Didn't she stay up like almost all night coming up with ideas for new moves, how is she not tired?>

Victor: <She's to low on brain cells to know what tired is. That ain't an insult, it's a fact.>

Lucy: <Shut up... Victor.>

-"Hyde walks behind all of them, a sleeping Norma on his back."-

Norma, sleeping, with a big smile on her face: <Kill them all, kill them all.>

Hyde: <I'm hungry>

Other Hyde: <Let's eat our friends.>

New Hyde: <I like that idea.>

Other, other Hyde: <Nah, they'd be to messy... I mean, we could eat Aya, but that shell looks hard to chew.>

Ramona: Here we go, forward march <3

-"Ramona pushes the doors of the gym open and sees an elevator with an attendant on it."-

Elevator person: Welcome, are you here to challenge Clay?

Ramona, jumps onto the elevator: Yep, badge please!

Elevator person: Alright, now, we ask that you return your mons, so that the weight doesn't break- -"Suddenly Hyde jumps onto the elevator."-

Hyde: <I saw a penny.>

-"The elevator makes a creaking noise, then plummets to the ground."-

-"Ramonas other mons watch as the elevator falls."-

Victor: -sigh- <I'll go get a latter>

-"Homer is sitting in his cell, when suddenly, Mokuba runs in."-

Homer, surprised: Mokuba, what are you-?

Mokuba, panicked: <Can't talk human, your ruler needs something.>

Homer, noticing Mokubas panicked expression: Hey, calm down. Look, go back to your ball and-

-"Mokuba lets out a little squeal, and rushes over to a nearby desk."-

Mokuba, happy now: <Perfect.>

-"Mokuba picks up an empty donut box and rushes out of the room."-

Homer, confused: ...god my Pokémon are weird.

-"Mokuba slides the donut box in-between two other boxes."-

Mokuba, proudly: <There we go.>

-"Mokuba then waltzes into his cardboard castle, and throws a sign over the "door" which reads Rulers only, no girls allowed... except for Mor... and Melly... and any girls who are rulers... and Dunsparce."-
