ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Channah: Huh, weird. Frontier thing's cool, I guess. -shrugs- It was pretty quiet for me. Although now I've apparently got a shadow Pokémon. Which will be exciting. -rolls her eyes-

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

-The combo knocks another third off of Avada's health.-

Avada: <Stop that.>

Kai: Let's make him stop. Disable!

-The world around the two flickers grayscale for the briefest of moments as Avada Disables Helios, particularly aiming to target the Quiver Dance.-

-Shinobi follows back to the town they're using as a base camp-

Down: -Internally- I didn't agree to be anyone's "servant" yet... But an invitation is better than a break-in

-She flutter hops inside, mostly grateful for not having to worry about the wind any more-

...We'll just have to see what happens for now

-The birb psychically reaches out for any hints of nearby life aside from the party-

 Battle Base, past 

Helios' Quiver Dance was disabled!

Helios: -_-

Heat Wave!

Helios: -Beats his wings and sends a wall of flame at Avada-

 Stormchaser, today 

-To Channah-

Yeah that sounds like it'll be a handful.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Avada is knocked down to red...-

Kai: Recover!

-Until he's not. He glows, healing a significant amount of the damage from the attacks.-

-Avada smirks.-

-the group starts to see movement in the distance-

Shizuo: ...

-clenches his fist-

My boyfriend is a literal human Primeape.

...

FUCKING-

-He punches a cave wall, creating a sizeable shockwave-

Shirou: <Aaah! Be careful!>

The Crossroads

-While walking back, Nier looks n the direction of the desert-

Nier:<Wonder how Kainé and the others are doing...>

Weiss:For God's sake, would you get your mind off the hussy for once?

Desert Temple

-The entrance is a wide expanse, lit by holes in the ceiling. Two paths branch off to the left and right, bordering a large chasm that seems to go on forever. Lining the paths are doors, similar in design to the one out front, but accordingly smaller, some open, some closed.-

-The entire place seems devoid of life, but there's a presence far, far in the back, and a few feet down-

[[gray: ShAU]: "Shizuo, chill. If we die from a cave-in I'm haunting your ghost."

Luka: <That's->

ShAUn: "Haunting. Shizuo's. Ghost."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

-Much walking-

Shinobi: <What's wrong with Kaine? Worried she's gonna cut the pictures out of you now that she's a pair of swords?>

Down: <Hm... Seems like there might be someone further down. Perhaps our mystery voice?>

-She peeeeers down the chasm-

<...Curious>

-Pianis walks in, Cosmog on his head-

Pianis: Hey, does anyone know what this Pokémon on my head is?

Astral: <Pew!>

Pianis: It just kind of showed up yesterday and—

-wham!-

-Pianis is knocked to the floor by a flying glomp-

Pianis: Ow.

Fortis: Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh you're okay!

Pianis: Yeah, until you tackled me.

Astral: <Pew?>

Fortis: No I mean Astral's okay! I was worried we lost her when we landed!

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

Channah: I know how to purify them and stuff, but I've never actually done it, so... Oh shit, and I have to help Nino with hers probably... Anyway. Uh. -looks at the darts- Can I try?

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

Cynthia waves to Yarne. "Hi Yarne!"

Severa looks over. "Oh. Hi."

Soujin: "Uh, calm down Shizu-kun. It's fine. I'm still me and no ghosts are going to need to be haunting."

Primeape: <Ah, yes, please, er, mate of other me, calm down!>

Yarne: <Oh, hey, Cynthia. Hey, sis.>

<Guess I'm not surprised you'd go looking for new clothes pretty soon after getting here, though, sis.>

Shizuo: DON'T CALL ME THAT! He called me that and he... he... Graaaaah!

-Lovely, now he's torn out a chunk of the cave wall-

Archer: Dude. Chill.

The boat pulled up, off stepped Tassa, followed by Ganon, "Well. Here we are... Kalos."

<I heard this region had a largely feudal culture at some point similar to Hyul. And then a culture of aristocracy. I wonder what happened to it.>

A nearby wingull proceeded to start singing something about a revolution, followed by another pronouncing his name to be Javert. Tassa was highly confused.

"Well, regardless, we're here. We're registered, might as well see the sights, and see what's going on."

-Brie and PEFE!Every are playing Stratego-

Brie: ...I'm not going to lie, I kind of thought you'd be better at this.

PEFE!Every: Thanks.

Brie: Sorry! Just, didn't you like, hold off a small armed invasion of Pokefutures HQ once?

PEFE!Every: I was working with the Legion at the time.

Cytosol: <Also, me.>

PEFE!Every: (smiles) Right.

-she pets the Solosis, who squishes-

Brie: ...I dunno, I just sort of figured that might translate to not running headlong into all my bombs.

PEFE!Every: Well, I had to figure out where they were.

Brie: You couldn't have...guessed?

-PEFE!Every looks aghast-

Brie: ...Okay, apparently not.

Cytosol: <This game doesn't make any sense, anyway. You can't just win a fight by outranking the other guy.>

Tuft: <Well, Dr. Tagg could kick all our asses.>

Cytosol: <That's not because he outranks Every, it's because he's an internationally ranked trai— never mind. There's no arguing with you.>

Atlantis: <It's the rules. That's just how it is.>

Cytosol: <It's poor design.>

Skyfire: <This seems like a strange hill to die on.>

Tuft: <We love hills and also death.>

Skyfire: <That explains your trainer's strategy here.>

Cytosol: <Wow.>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Corrin's here. Somewhere. Probably on her own, probably lost.-

-Soleil is also here. Somewhere. Possibly with Semigloss, probably not presently with Cynthia, but this could easily change.-

-Mason's here. Somewhere. Probably awoo'd.

-Rose is here. Probably still more or less on her own, making an effort to not be noticed.-

-Vierr is here. He's doing scruffy wizard bullshit.-

-Echo's here. Probably at a library.-

-Evan's here. Probably getting himself into trouble trying to be a hero.-

Artoria has deemed it wise to show Ryoma and Xander around, all things considered, and Mordred's tagged along because... why the hell not.

It's possible that they encounter a lost pointy dragongirl.

---

Probably not presently with Cynthia, but how about near, because hilarity will ensue.

Cynthia notices her.

Severa: -she harrumphs.- "Of course! I have to look fabulous."

Cynthia takes off her armband and birbs in front of Soleil, attempting to pose dramatically. <Soleil! Hi!>

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

It's late, but here's the first in that series of fanfic mode posts I promised

-Jared is here with a few of his mons-

-Thinking-

Jared: Ed, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Ed the Mightyena: <Yeah but where are we going to find a Dunsparce and a hose at this hour?>

Jared: No, not that. It's that we've finally made it into the J-Team and we've been here for months now, and yet. And yet! We still haven't made a name for ourselves here.

Jim: ~MABYE YOU SHOULD BE LOUDER~

Jared: ...Actually, you might be on to something, Jim old buddy!

Valerie: <Please for the love of all that is holy don't take advice from Ji->

Jared: I'm gonna go on a quest! To prove myself to the J-Team! I'll call it... Jared Quest!

Valerie: <Aaaaand add another hare-brained scheme to the pile.>

Ed: <Great! What do we do?>

Jared: I don't know yet! We're winging it! Seeing what we can find!

Jim: ~WHAT KIND OF PLAN IS THAT?~

Jared: One that will get us somewhere, anywhere!

...Eventually!

-they head out of the Stormchaser and may be encountered-

Jared Quest Start!

-The pointy dragongirl is, naturally, trying to make sense of a map, but failing.-

-She immediately bumps into Artoria and company.-

Corrin: Oof! Oh, hello, Artoria, it's been a while!

-She looks at Ryoma and Xander, with absolutely no recognition of either of them-

Corrin: New friends of yours, I take it?

---

-Soleil, meanwhile, doesn't literally bump into Cynthia. She does, however, poof up cheerfully upon seeing her-

Soleil: <Oh, wow! You weren't kidding, Cynthia, you actually are a bird as well! That's so cool, wow. Say, who's thGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP!!!>

-Except she doesn't say "gasp", she actually gasps dramatically when she sees Severa.-

edited 8th Apr '18 9:27:24 PM by BittersweetNSour

Artoria gives a wave. "Hi, Corrin. Oh, and, um yes, in a sense."

Xander: <Corrin! Gods, you... you're alive?>

Ryoma: <We thought Garon killed you. Robin said she'd met you, but...>

Xander: <On second thought, I think it would be wise to introduce ourselves, given that we don't terribly much resemble our how we normally do. It's us, Ryoma,> -he points his tail towards the Zangoose. <and Xander.>

Ryoma nods.

---

Cynthia: <Yeah, I am! ...What?> She follows Soleil's gaze over to Severa. :O <Do you know Sevvy?>

Severa, meanwhile, confused because oops, Cynthia never got around to telling her she's actually a bird here, is trying to figure out where her girlfriend disappeared off to.

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

-Corrin blinks, and her eyes go wide.-

-She nearly drops the map.-

Corrin: You— you made it here? I... gods, I never thought I'd see you again, I...

-She stops, trying to keep her composure.-

---

-Soleil flies up to eye level with Severa.-

Soleil: <Mom! Hi! It's me! Soleil!>

 Battle Base, past 

Both: -_-

That's cheap. Okay I'm gonna need to end this quickly.

Helios: -Sends out a crit-strength Bug Buzz-

 Stormchaser, today 

-To Channah, moving aside-

Yeah, sure.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Avada cringes from the sound of the Bug Buzz, putting him down just short of the red. Kai grins.-

Kai: That's the thing about the more adventurous-themed Battle Facilities, we try to be as hard to deal with as possible. The other pathways through the base might have had things to help with the poison, if you'd wanted to explore a bit more.

-The shadows around Helios start swirling again.-

Avada: <By all means, I'm satisfied that you didn't.>

-Another Hex strikes.-

"Uh, okay I guess. April Fool's was weird as usual."

Tabitha: <... "As usual".>

-Ignoring her- ".. I can't find my normal clothing, but I think I mentioned that already. How about you?"

off the shits
