ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Lab Raid

Akravator: <Dismantle? I can do that!>

He gets ready to Slash at one of the Machines.

Hae-Won: "Wait!"

He stops.

Hae-Won: "Can we go to town on these machines or is there a safer way to shut them down?"

-Ever flails as he's shoved under, and attempts to pull himself back up, but Revy's significantly stronger. The pirate says something, but it's lost through the water-

Yeah, I remember why I don't like this guy.

-Ever briefly considers trying to pull Revy down with him and escape that way, before meeting eyes with one of the Dunsparce making up the raft and deciding that wouldn't pan out-

-instead, he focuses on looking around-

-it takes him a moment to spot anything-

-mostly this is because he's calibrated his eyes to ignore the colossal-

-beneath him, the seafloor is close-

-and it's been carved into the shape of a titanic Aegislash, staring back up at him-

...What.

-and then Revy pulls him up-

Revy: Zygarde, you're frail.

-Ever coughs-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Out of shock, he quickly took off the scarf, which also made him fall on the ground. He looked at the scarf and had only one thing to say.

Icy!Blitzwing: <VHAT. ZHE HELL.>

But he then had an idea to get back at that green glasses-wearing man that had gotten away. That involved him using the scarf to disguise himself as a human.

There was only a matter of finding him.

Leo: *taking things out of his bag in a panic* DANG IT, WHERE IS IT?!

Cerbeau: <Where's what?>

Leo: I think Colt's scarf ended up falling out of my pocket while we were running away!

Cerbeau: <Well, uh...>

Leo: *puts head in the opening of the bag, in a defeated tone* Colt's gonna kill meeeeeeeee...

Cerbeau: <Now, uh, I'm sure he'll understand... That- uh... We could just try and get him a new one to make up for it!>

Leo: But he trusted me with it...

[insert something relating to myself here]

Jimmy notices the whimpering and turns to his fellow raiders, "Gray look for a manifest. Miss, did you find someone?"

Gray nods and heads off ahead.

Dean is just watching.

Stylus is reviewing everything, Jay will be back soon and he needs anything, ANYTHING, to finally just communicate at length with her, get his freedom and get out.

The problem was there seemed to be a disconnect between conscious and subconscious mind, this body seemed to have its own drive and insisted that since he was caught he had to listen to her. It was weird having to argue with yourself and having two different desires.

Stylus sighed, this all happened because of that damned scar-

Stylus sat there as he realized something, he placed a hand up to the scarf around his neck, the emerald green staring him right in the eyes as he realized something... The answer had been here all along, the past month or so he had the solution and he never bothered, never even thought about it.

Stylus calmly walked over to a wall, and faceplanted into it, he wanted to do it harder but that would probably break the damn thing.

<Damn metal bones and fighting type...>

He couldn't just wrap the damn thing around her neck, if the opportunity went wrong this could easily backfire and he might be stuck forever. He had to introduce it naturally, somehow.

Still, now he at least had something to fix this situation, or at least find some way to stop being tracked.

There might be a Blaziken wearing a Brown Letterman Jacket standing out there.

"We'll be there shortly. Remember Macraul, if I am cheated in any way."

Delta hung up, "Zatara."

~Yes?~

"Showtime."

Zatara smiled and used teleport.

Delta, Zatara, and the Trophy of Hazard show up in the Macraul Truck bay.

Delta has turned the petrification down to halfway, so Hazard has at least his upper body in hand.

Zatara is smiling and adjusting his top hat.

Herbert is waiting as Jay comes out, accompanied by an impassive Munchlax.

He goes up and hugs the latter.

Herbert: <Welcome to the team, George!>

Munchlax: <...George? I thought you'd be calling me Fortunata...>

Herbert: <Silly Georgunata! You're the new George now!>

Fortunata: <I see...>

Jay, meanwhile, looks at the Lucario who just hit his head against the wall.

Jay: "Hey, you know where Geoffrey is? We're gonna head out soon. Spent a while in Lumiose and might wanna make sure we don't get followed."

As Hazard is half unfrozen, his upper body has changed into human form. There is a ring of pink sparkles surrounding where the freezing is in effect, wanting to change the bottom half but unable to. Ultimately this means he looks like a human in a brown jersey with Charizard legs struggling to get free.

Hazard: "You better tell me what you did to Gogie!"

-Mezzo has found her way to a curious cafe on the streets of Lumiose-

-"A place for cat lovers" is marked on the sign, and most patrons (including Mezzo, who is wearing her Purrloin ear headphones) and the staff wear cat ears-

-most patrons have also brought their own catmons to this place-

-Felis is curled up at Mezzo's feet, keeping an eye on every other catmon in the place-

Mezzo: See, this is great.

-she scratches Felis behind the ears with one hand, while sipping her Skittynip-laced tea with the other-

Mezzo: A real place to relax. The airship is nice, but sometimes you just need to get away from people, mew know?

-Felis grumbles and purrs softly-

Mezzo: Hehe. Mew know. Like a kitty~

Felis: <Don't start with that again.>

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

-The Phantom Force so far is here, Duolis and Huginn as mons and Molph as a human-

Huginn: <Are you sure here is a good place to hang out?>

Duolis: <Well, it's Pokemon friendly and we blend right in. Plus we might find some new recruits.>

-Meanwhile Molph's gaze drifts to some decidedly not goth individuals in the cafe: a green-haired man in Ultra Recon gear and his Poipole-

-The man removes his helmet and mask to reveal a... rather handsome face-

-Molph stares, blushes, and nervously approaches-

Molph: S-sir?

Squirps: ...Yes?

Molph: You are very pre- I mean, very intresting with that getup there! What's it for?

Squirps: I get that a lot... It's for protecting me from interdimensional travel. Also light.

Molph: Light, huh? That's why you're in here?

Squirps: Yes.

Molph: Interesting! I'm Molph.

Squirps: Squirps.

Molph: Interesting name!

Squirps: Same to you.

Molph: You in town for a while?

Squirps: I suppose... Following a certain J-Team.

Molph: What a coincidence! Same here, hehe... Mabye we'll see each other around.

Squirps: Prehaps you could help me then... I would like to get in contact with more of the J-Team, due to the current multiversal crisis. You could help.

Molph: Me? Sure thing! Helps you're pretty cu- er, friendly!

Duolis: -calling over- <Molph, your food is here!>

Molph: Coming! Hey, after I need to imtroduce you guys to someone...

-he heads back-

Mauve: {...Dude. That guy was totally hitting on you.}

Squirps: What?

Mauve: {What?} :3

Contact Me!

The GM House, Present Day

-Ludmilla is asleep.-

-Dune is away on a trip.-

-Deziree is very concerned about the news that a research facility, likely associated with the School, was just destroyed by a sand-using one man army with a heavy bladed weapon that could cut through metal walls and graffiti'd the place with lyrics from a Simon & Garfunkel song.-

-And then a Magnemite falls out of a portal in her workshop and starts confusing her staff with twenty-dollar words.-

Magnemite: <I am trying to elaborate that I require ascertainment of my current location in relation to the Outer Realms and that you inquire with whatever taskmaster whose employment you are under if they may accept me under an apprenticeship, because these devices are truly astounding in their complexities.>

Vinegar: Um...

Twitch: Boss! I have no idea what this thing just said, but it sounded like it was using really big words!

"I captured him and gave him to my client. I always finish a job. Always."

Delta's face was unreadable... mostly because he had his helmet on and it wasn't even displaying active sensor feeds.

Zatara smirked, ~Bit chatty huh. The client ordered a Charizard right?~

"Yes."

Delta tossed out Dracula who smiled at Hazard, <Good evening...>

~It's not evening.~

"Not yet. Dracula. Moonlight please."

<As you wish, my master.>

Dracula took a bow and summoned what appeared to be a moon in the loading bay, shining it down on Hazard.

<Ignore him Fortunata. He calls every one of his new buddle bugs George. I was George for the past few months until you came along.>

Stylus looked over at Jay and shook his head, he wanted to communicate with telepathy again but he wasn't certain if she had the jammer on or not... if he could somehow disable it or smash it long enough...

He looked at Jay and then smirked, she didn't want to get followed, he could provide that.

Hacks and the Team had, no luck, Silas was still missing and Hacks was worried, he hadn't gone home to tell Nathan and Sarah, he could only imagine their reaction if they found out he was responsible for losing Silas.

He flopped onto his back and stared up at the sky, ~I'm a bad pokemon...~

Snakeye shrugged, <Don't beat yerself up. Lotsa stuff happens, its likely that Silas got caught up in something.>

-a Rattata scampers up onto Mezzo's shoulder-

Freya: <Pardon me, but don't we have a mission we were supposed to be helping with?>

Mezzo: It can wait. I don't see any darkness spreading all over Lumiose so I see no reason to jump onto that right now.

Freya: <A fair assessment, but it seems like...>

-she pauses as she looks around-

-and sees that every cat in the place is now staring wide-eyed at her, including at least seven Espurr that Mezzo had not previously noticed-

Freya: <Um.>

-she moves to the other shoulder, and everyone's eyes follow-

Mezzo: ...You should go.

Freya: <Yes.>

-Mezzo returns Freya to her ball as fast as she can-

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

Hazard has the Moonlight shine down on him, his upper body sparkles and goes back into Charizard form.

Hazard: <...Well if you don't tell me where he is, when I get out of here, better believe I'm coming for you!>

Fortunata: <Hm... well, considering what I've been dealing with for the past while, I can deal with it.>

Stylus: <Don't worry, Georgunata! Just help us and we'll have another new George in no time!>

Jay sees Silas shake his head.

Jay: "No, huh? Lemme see if I can find him..."

Feeling he might want a bit of Aura Time, she turns the Jammer off for a bit.

A short ways away from where Silas' mons are, three people are rehearsing for some sort of play where Person B has killed Person C and Person A is lamenting how Person B betrayed their trust.

Alola League, Molayne's Chamber

-Everything's...sorta ground to a halt-

-One one end, a shy Hauntster-

-On the other, an Alolan Dugtrio-

Dugtrio:<I ain't fighting her, ese.>

<Me either, homes. Remember the last little girl that came here?>

<Oh yeah, I remember her, what if dis one got one of them scary strong squid-tings, I ain't facing that, weddo.>

-Meanwhile-

Iggy:Come on, Blooky, you can do iiiiiiiit. Chara's poison wore 'em down, you just gotta give 'em a Lick!

Napstablook:<[—But what if they have geeeeeerms...oh noooooo...i don't care for germs...>

Iggy:Blookyyyyyy.

-Molayne facepalms-

Dugtrio:<You feel anytin like, weird, ese?>

<Whatcha mean, homes? I got nada.>

<Yer just staling now, weddo.>

-beat-

<You know what, ese? I think we got poisoned!>

<No way, homes. We're steel! We're immune!>

<Hey, weddo. Dat girl had a Sallazel, mang.>

<Oh.>

<Oh.>

Dugtrio fainted!

-Iggy blinks-

-Molayne blinks-

Iggy:Oh, well then.

Molayne:That was...certainly something.

-Clears throat-

I-In any case. You've beaten me. Just three more until you face the champion! Best of luck to you!

Iggy:-waaaaving as she leaves.- Thank yoooou~! :D

Nino: -carefully approaches the cowering scientist- ...? Hello? What are you doing here?

Channah: -shrugs in response to Hae-Won's question-

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

 Lab Raid left path, past 

-To Hae-Won-

I think it would be safer to figure out a way to shut them down rather than just breaking them, Infinity Energy can be... rather volatile. At any rate we should get the mons freed first.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Lita's face lights up.

"Well what are we waiting for, let's go!"

She hooks Alli's and Aphrodite's arms Wizard of Oz style.

GIVE ME YOUR FACE

Akravator gulps after he hears Tagg.

Akravator: <...Guess I'll hold off, then.>

Hae-Won nods.

Hae-Won: "Alright..."

She tries looking for a way to shut off the machines.

"Zatara what's he saying?"

~He's threatening us. Saying that he will get revenge if we don't tell him what happened to the doggy boy.~

Delta sat there for a moment, and then, a noise came from him, his shoulders trembled. Another noise, louder, his shoulders shook again. Another, and another, and then it became clear. Delta was laughing, he wrapped his arms around his body as he laughed hard.

It didn't even sound like a proper laugh, it was... unsettling in how close but how wrong it was.

Delta stopped and took his helmet off, looking Hazard straight in the eye, his face still as even as ever, not a scrap of emotion, "I gave him to the last Client. They have him, I don't know where they are."

Delta turned to Dracula, "I did hire you for this reason, lycanthropes. Sorry I didn't hire you for more."

Dracula shrugged and smirked, <We all have our purpose in life, my master.>

Delta pulled his helmet back on and looked back over to Hazard, "Threats won't work on me. And revenge doesn't make much sense at all. In the end this is my job, there is nothing personal, if you want to get angry, get angry at the person who hired me. They're the one with their finger on the trigger. I'm just the gun."

Stylus wobbles a bit as he feels his aura powers return, he takes a deep breath, closes his eyes and lets the Lekku do their work, he can see around him now. It felt good, one of the things he liked about this form was the auric powers.

He stretched and it felt good. He reopened his eyes and continued smirking. This would hurt, a lot, but every word would be worth it.

~C-can help... h-h-hiiide you... T-t-trust me... M-m-moooove to secret s-s-spot...~

His brain felt like it was on fire, like every cell was it's own flame igniting for a brief moment, it hurt a lot, but it was just as assumed, worth it.

"If we could find a scientist, I could get Mantis to read his mind on how to shut this down," Dean commented.

Mantis would be smirking, if not for the gas mask.

Revy: Did you see it?

-Ever glares at him-

Ever: Yeah, I saw it. What the hell was it, and why couldn't you just have told me?

Revy: (dismissively) Emotional impact makes it more likely you'll remember it. As for what it is, it seems obvious. It's an Aegislash possessing you, but without actually taking up residence in your body.

Ever: Wanna run that by me again?

Revy: Not particularly. The Aegislash itself is in your other sister. Cousin. The recluse with the Dunsparce.

Ever: PEFE!Every.

Revy: That's not you?

-Ever sighs-

Revy: Anyway, you're all possessed. You, PEFE!Every, the last one...Ever?

Ever: I'm Ever.

Revy: Then she's...

Ever: Amanita.

Revy: (not quite simultaneously) Ama...na...na...

Ever: You're the worst human being.

Revy: None of this matters anyway. You won't remember the tactical shit, which is fine. Tactics are for assholes.

Ever: That viewpoint explains a lot about you.

-Revy waves a hand-

Ever: So, what, I wake up and I don't have any useful info except being nervous around PEFE!Every?

Revy: I'm sure you can manage from there.

Ever: Hey, sidenote, how are we talking colloquially? There's no way our dialects would match up that cleanly.

Revy: Fuck if I know. It's your dream. Fae bullshit, I guess.

Ever: Screw you.

Revy: Now you sound like her.

Ever: -gags-

Revy: Don't be so fucking squeamish.

Ever: Didn't you have some other advice or something? Why do you even care about any of this?

Revy: Because if you all die, then I don't have anyone to kill a Morendo for me. Obviously. And because Revy II is still trying to bring me back.

Ever: Whoa, what?!

Revy: What? Obviously I remember her name. It's my name.

Ever: No, I mean, she's still out there doing her thing? I figured she retreated into obscurity like a regular person after getting trounced!

Revy: Why'd you figure that?

Ever: ...I'm not sure.

Revy: Yeah, no, she's flipped. Thinks bringing me back is something anyone wants.

Ever: I'm surprised you don't.

Revy: Eh. I don't really give a shit about the mortal stuff now. I miss Harrison.

Ever: ...

Revy: But if she brings me back, I'll start caring again. And I'm sure you don't want that.

Ever: ...

And I'm not going to remember any of this?

Revy: Fuck no. Rise and shine.

-Ever snaps awake-

...That dream felt weird. What was...

-he has a glimmer of a thought, and then it's gone-

Glimmer: <I thought you were dead.>

Breeze: <Nobody else thought that, just to clarify.>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Scientist: P-Please don't hurt me... Just take the Shadow mons... All of them except the center two, they're too dangerous...

-They clutch the keys tightly-

Dave: Sounds about right. Mia?

-Mia starts opening the terrariums-

We're gonna need to find a way to deal with the serum, the equipment, and the Magikarp.

-Aphrodite and Alli are startled but lead Lita away...-

-...to here-

Contact Me!

-Jessica pulls out an ungodly amount of Dive Balls.-

Jessica: "Will these do?"

Achille: <You're a Fire-type specialist, why do you-nevermind.>

---

Shaun: "I'm afraid we can't do that."

-He holds his right hand out towards the scientist.-

Shaun: "Keys. Now."

---

Lucina: <I'll stay here. You go ahead.>

Laurent: "If you wish, Lucina."

---

Anna: "Yes. Did you expect anything else?"

-She tosses Marco into a cell.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Hazard is unsure what to do throughout the laughter, but then Delta gives his explanation.

Hazard: <...>

<You don't have to do this work, but whatever, I guess.>

<Still, if you're gonna tell me the last client had him, why not tell me who they are? If you're convinced you're just a tool behind this, I'm pretty sure I can threaten you for *that*.>

Jay raises an eyebrow.

Jay: "Alright. You had an ace in a hole with that mechanical knowledge of yours, so let's see what you can do here."

-to Herbert- "You mind finding Geoffrey and telling him it's time to go?"

Herbert nods and he and Fortunata head off.

Jay, meanwhile, looks for a spot, eventually finding it.

Jay: "So, what's up?"

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

EMPEROR similarly goes through the door.

Marco is thrown onto his face and lies still for a moment.

A quiet moan fills the air and slowly rises in volume until it’s a very loud, constant groan.

off the shits

Channah: -looks at the Dive Balls- Was gonna suggest a giant Aqua Ring to hold them, but that's probably a better idea?

Dolabella: -climbs up to the top of the Magikarp tank and opens it cautiously- <Don't you fucking splash me, we're trying to save you...>

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

"What'd he say?"

~Thinks he can still threaten us for not telling him our previous client.~

"Really? Considering how few people know about Lycanthropes, I would presume he would have a short list of possible targets that might want him. Considering the nature of the request, it seemed like revenge."

Zatara shrugged and Dracula smirked, tapping at the casing, a evil smirk stretched across his face, <We could let you out and I could drink your life, if you are feeling ready to fight.>

"I feel like Dracula is threatening the product."

~He is. I think he might have Vampirism.~

"Well that's a little on the nose."

Stylus takes off his scarf and hands it over to Jay, ~W-W-Wear this...~

He was going to have such a migrane but every second was worth it.
