ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

"That's cool. Say, you guys know the J-Team?"

GIVE ME YOUR FACE

-There's an audible crack as the Low Kick hits Shaun's foot. Shaun hisses sharply.-

Ace: <You shouldn't have done that.>

-Tsunami aims a Metal Claw at the Weavile while Beowulf slams a flame-coated fist into the Weavile.-

---

-Achille glances at half of the Weed Team.-

Achille: <Expensive too...but I'm not concerned with that.>

-He looks at the computer screen, hoping for blueprints or a list of experiments/Shadowed Pokémon.-

---

-Laurent and Lucina continue to dispatch foes with their blades.-

---

-Anna presses the elevator button and gestures inside.-

Anna: "After you."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

EMPEROR: "I might be able to swim us there!.. We might get lost one or two times before we get there. Or several! But we'd get there!"

Daydre is currently hanging onto The Punisher like one hangs onto a pool floatie. Only harder, because instead of water below there's only the cold, hard, unforgiving earth. And a bunch of trees. Rabbid!Daydre and Tabitha in turn hang off of her. Despite how haphazard their positions look they seem to be fine.

Marco steps inside.

Charles shakes out of the confusion and surveys the situation.

Unsure what to do at first, he decides to just head over to Pakhet and hit her with a Heal Pulse.

Pimpernel rights himself and checks outside the car.

Pimpenel: <What happened? Cleo, what...>

He looks and notices a distinct lack of Montu.

Pimpernel: <I...>

He goes over and tries to stay near Cleo.

Lou: So I take care of some filthy rats and I get this weird useless crystal from you?

Ilima: Well, I wouldn't say useless, but-

Lou: I'm in.

-Lou returns, looking disgruntled.-

Lou: I didn't know you meant actual rats. I pepper sprayed a fat hamster looking thing and beat it up with a small hippo.

Salvadore: <It was easy with it being blinded and all.>

Ilima: ...I don't know whether to call the police or reward you for ingenuity. So I'll just give you this.

Lou got the Normal Z-Crystal!

-the trio has recovered from the surprise attack and have split up, re-trying their original plan-

Channah: -with Dolabella wrapped around her neck- (Kinda neat, Cipher and Pokefutures up close...)

Dolabella: -spits a Bullet Seed at a passing scientist, cracking her glasses and breaking a monitor as the seed richochets- <This is fun, we should join raids more often. Ptooey!>

Channah: -tunes out the chaos as she strolls through the lab, examining things here and there-

Legault: -flexing his hands- That was so unpleasant. Almost makes me want to be a cat again.

Nino: -looking at the stairs- I wonder what's down there...

Aztec Camera: <Would You Like To Save Your Game Before Continuing?>

Legault: ~_o

-they try to head downstairs once again-

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

".. Okay, what's up with you."

Rikuo looks up with his glasses I forgot to mention he had in the first post and tilts his head.

Rikuo: <What do you mean?>

"You're definitely not a normal Zorua. You got that thing going on with your fur, and when Tabitha tried to hit you with Fury Swipes it just phased right through. I didn't want to bring it up before because we'd just met, but is there something you're not telling me?"

Rikuo: <... Not at all! I am a Perfectly Normal Zorua! There's nothing to worry about!> If a Zorua could look sweaty, he would.

"Why'd you put emphasis on perfectly normal Zorua?"

Rikuo: <I didn't?>

"Yeah you did it was capitalized or someth- you know what, never mind. If it's really important you'll tell me or whatever."

Mallville - Future

Colt drew his phone out of his pocket and searched for where he was. "Oh," he hummed as he pocketed his phone.

"There's an airship that's probably still touched down here owned by the J-Team, <3. I mean, it'd have no reason to take off, so... hey!" And so he walked off, gesturing for Nero and EMPEROR to follow.

"Now that I think of it," he said as he paused mid-step while still within earshot. "I never got your names."

His phone buzzed in his pocket.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

-Upon being attacked, Finnegan's assailant reveals themself to be a Chandelure, who whips flames around in a circle-

-The Weavile and Manectric go down-

-The Mega Mawile lunges at Jimmy and Nino's groups as they try to enter the basement-

---

-Achille and co. find there are various lists and logs and such on the computer screens:

-On another monitor is a list of Shadow Pokemon in the facility, all with codenames-

Kaden: <So this Kanra guy is behind all this, huh...>

-Izana inspects an external hard drive lying around-

Alli: I'm a part of it!

Aphrodite: She was taking me to meet them, actually.

-Nero follows-

Paul: -picks up the phone- Yes?

-Anna and Marco emerge into the wine cellar, a spacious, brick-walled catacomb strewn with support columns and wine racks in a layout that is not completely unmazelike-

-the lighting is theoretically somewhat brighter than the art gallery, but the ancient fluorescent lamps that were retrofitted onto an even more ancient basement clearly don't like the damp; they flicker here and there, and a few tubes are blown out, creating dark spots-

-amid the furnishings that make sense for a wine cellar are seemingly-out-of-place piles of bricks and cinder blocks, of a variety of colors, sizes, and styles-

-several beds are propped up on piles of bricks, though Bobbert can't be seen sleeping in any of them-

-he never can-

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Jay: "This is Paul, right? I've got your Blaziken. How do you want to do the trade?"

Fionn shields himself and his master with another protect, as does Cathbad. Finnegan smirks as he begins to call out attacks in his native tongue to his mons.

Finnegan: Gráinne! Cathbad! Strike at both ends with Shadow Claw!

As soon as Finnegan bellows his command, a green figure hurls herself towards the Chandelure at breakneck speed, grinning and shrieking along the way as her blades become covered in a ghostly aura.

Gráinne: <RIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI KIYAAAAH!>

As she reaches the Chandelure, she and Cathbad strike the Chandelure at the same time from opposing sides, Gráinne giggling with sadistic glee as she does so.

Finnegan: Cormac! While it's reeling, attack with a Knockoff!

The Scizor grunts as it lunges towards the Chandelure with a claw of obscuric energy.

Cormac: <Serves you right for being a coward!>

Cormac hammers the Chandelure with a great force and an angry sneer. Finnegan stands up and pops his collar, smirking.

Finnegan: Connla? Make sure the critter's really good and done for with a Drill Run, Mmmkay~?

Connla: <Sure! You're the boss, boss!>

The young, enthusiastic Escavalier joins in on the dogpiling with his Drill Run attack, the Chandelure presumably too battered by the point to retort to Connla's attack despite the bug's slowness.

Finnegan knows that wen't overboard with the attack, and that the Chandelure was probably good and done after the combined attack from Gráinne and Cathbad, but he didn't care. Proving a point was way more important in his mind than being charitable in battle.

Finnegan: Well, well, well. That's all well and nice, playing is fun - after all. But time is limited and I don't have the time at the moment to be prancing around, dealing with nobodies.

Finnegan flings his arm towards a loose pipe one the building's roof, revealing what was contained within his flared sleeve - some sort of device containing a long, thin metal chord that bolts out and clings to the pipes. The chord itself seems to be vibrating slightly.

Finnegan: I've got places to be.

At a yank, the chord begins retracting - pulling Finnegan along with it, and he begins swinging through the facility at a breakneck speed with Fionn and the rest of his team tailing behind him.

F!Robin: "Hector, finish the Empoleon. Mira, take the Ninetails."

The battle seems to be going in Robin's favor despite having weaker mons and being outnumbered.

Awakening Shirt Guy: "... Wh- how?"

F!Robin: "... Checkmate!"

Awakening Shirt Guy: "Huh?"

The Empoleon, Ninetails, and Beheeyem drop.

Awakening Shirt Guy: "Shit."

Cynthia: "Right!"

She and Morgan get onto Sumia's back, Morgan looking rather uncomfortable.

"Charge!"

Artoria (with or without Corrin) is lounging around the PMC.

Mordred throws the door open, Severa walking behind her.

Mordred: "Artoria thank the gods you're alive and not nihilego'd."

"... You're not Nihilego'd, right?"

Artoria: "No...?"

Mordred: "Thank Helix."

Artoria: "Um?"

Severa: <Yes, explanations would be helpful.>

Mordred: "Shut up Severa"

Severa: <No.>

Artoria: "Severa?"

Mordred: "Yeah, that Severa. But anyhow long story short Iris is still alive and also Nihilego'd and that fucking alien jellyfish has been chasing me for a month and I think I finally managed to shake it and now I'm back in Hoenn and also need to get Severa to the rest of the Sheperds."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Marco steps out of the elevator. ... This place is kinda creepy.

Marco: "Oh, really? That's interesting." Why does that name seem familiar...

For a brief moment, Marco sees a tall, pale figure standing in his peripheral vision. But when he turns to look there's nothing there.

... Okay maybe not just kinda.

EMPEROR follows.

EMPEROR: "I'M EMPEROR! It is a pleasure to meet you!"

Jimmy, Dean, and their collective pokemon duck out of the way of the Mega-Mawile.

Jimmy recalls Hal from the locked door, "Okay Dean... We need to deal with this."

Dean nods and tosses out his Zangoose, Revolver, who stretches, <Hey there boss. Need me?>

Jimmy looks at Raiden and Gray, "Ready?"

They nod in response.

Stealth Ops James and Leader Dean Vs Mega-Mawile!

Stylus returns to Jay with Montu, he looks exhausted, not physically but emotionally.

<Here you are... one Pokemon ripped from their owner to give to a old money family...>

Legault: -dodges the Mega Mawile's attack and raises his sword when he notices Jimmy and Dean, pausing- Ah, you two're handling it, good.

-...just as Nino casts a defensive Thunder spell, which brings down a single lightning bolt from the ceiling to strike the Mega Mawile-

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

Paul: Very well. Our casino is outfitted with a licensed Cable Club, as it happens, so you can use the trading machine at any Pokécenter of your convenience.

I believe you requested something "good for hugs". I will be sending you a Munchlax we found raiding Bobbert's Amontillado stash, and upon receipt of the bird will wire you the balance of your compensation.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Jay sees Stylus carrying the Blaziken and smiles, regardless of how down the Lucario is feeling.

Jay: "Awesome! Great job! Now, let's get somewhere safe so I can deliver this guy..."

Jay: "Munchlax will work fine. Thank you."

"Though... curious... do you or any of your family have any interest in a Charizard Weremon?"

-Everyone touches down as the block tower crumples in the distance-

Elliot: <Good riddance.>

<...Now what?>

-The Chandelure definitely goes down-

-Kaden and Izana hop on Fluffles-

-The Mega Mawile, its Trainer not too far behind, is stunned momentarily by the Thunder, but quickly lunges with multiple Crunches-

-It is, however, quickly attacked back by a certain Oranguru and Skorupi-

-A short white-haired woman in a fancy dracoknight dress and a tall, swole shirtless man in bits of armor approach Artoria and Mordred-

Now... I dunno, we check back at base to make sure the innocent mons involved are unharmed and to do some upgrades and then look for a fresh fused battlefield that our combining friend has been brought to.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

-As Finnegan swings-

That's... very similar to my Aura chains.

-Stops for a second-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Legault: -dodges the Crunch and gets out of the way of the peoplemons arriving- The backup to the backup, I like it when that happens.

Nino: -gets Crunched on the arm and gasps- A-agh! -stumbles and gets out an (Elibean) Elixir, knocking it back like a shot before retreating behind Legault-

Legault: Nino, stay behind me!

Nino: I'm fine! You're not supposed to be on the front lines anyway!

Legault: You're not either, you know! And I can take a hit.

Nino: Barely... -uses another Thunder spell, wincing- There's no way it'll survive all that...

Channah: -returning- Didn't find anything - Oh hai Tagg.

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

Shaun: "Tsunami, stay up here with Ace and wreak havoc."

Tsunami: <With pleasure.>

Tsunami: <COWER BEFORE YOUR GODDESS>

~The Mawile?~

''They're about to regret getting up this morning."

-A scarf is donned, and two arrows - one of Obscura and one of psychic Aura - are fired at the Mawile, along with a Helping Hand-boosted Double Kick from a Jolteon.-

Jeremy: <Outta my way, dumbass!>
