ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Homer, still confused: Dude, look, if you guys have a job for me it's sort of my policy to talk about payment first.

-"Meanwhile, Mokuba is "slaying" the shirts."-

Mokuba: <BOW TO YOUR RULER!>

Anubis: <Mokuba, those shirts aren't alive.>

-"Homer looks over his shoulder, even more confused."-

Homer: Did you hear people talking just now?

Skyla: Now, Swoozy, use Acrobatics!

Swoozy: <   Blood!   >

-"Swoozy sores towerds Hyde, bearing her claws."-

Ramona: Hyde, now, Dracometeor!

Hyde: <Alright guys, lets use rock throw!>

Other other Hyde: <I thought we where gonna use fire blast.>

Other Hyde: <What about mega drain?>

Newest Hyde: <Who recorded over stranger things!?>

-"A giant rock form above Swoozy and comes a crashing down on the small mon in a brilliant ball of purple fire."-

Swoozy, being crushed: <Oh Fuge sickle!>

-"Swoozy is squashed to the ground and knocked out."-

La: Huh? Oh that's just your mons. Quick, get them in the closet!

 [Cape Tappi], past 

-Shrugs-

I mean you're hanging out at the roof of our home island at this cold and windy beach with some weird guy and his weird mons.

Homer: What do you mean that was my mons, mons don't talk dude. And even if they did, I wouldn't want to understand them, it'd be way to freaky. Also, why are we in a closet?

Zags, poring hot sauce on a shirt, and singing: <Dinner time is the best time because dinner is the best.>

Melinoe: <You can't eat fabric dumb ass.>

Zags, eating fabric: <Mmm mmmm mmmm (yes you can)>

Channah: True but - Whatever. Uh... Oh. Right, you asked about Garrett. -stretches her arms and assumes a thinking position- Okay, so. I think I already told you about our dad. And my little freakout episode when I was 12. He basically... handled those in the worst way possible. Um. Oh, he was a huge factor in our parents' divorce. Encouraged it for his own benefit. Deserted his friends when they needed him. Uhh, he was a terrible fucking mentor and cheesed battles every chance he got. Plus he treated his Pokémon like degradeable weapons. Taught me monese for emotional manipulation purposes. And he's a libertarian. That, that's pretty much it. -nods-

Charlotte smirks internally.

Charlotte: Score.

<Ohh? What would I have to do for that?>

Benny: <...Heh, thanks. I try.>

Glad she didn't mention scary...

...I hate libertarians.

...So your brother's a real jackass, huh?

-Artoria gets a text.-

-Well, actually, that's a lie. She gets three. It seems that someone has attempted to send a very long, letter-style message, through a medium that doesn't support long messages.-

Channah: -hesitates- Well. I mean. He can be awful but I wouldn't go that far.

AU!Shaun: "I've...considered it. Never came back, though. My family wants to stay in Unova."

-A young woman walks in the direction of the Stormchaser. While she doesn't stand out - her dark purple hoodie, blue jeans, shoes, purse, and backpack are commonplace - she's clearly Alolan, judging by her light golden brown skin, and her nervous demeanor suggest she's not from around here.-

-Tailing her are a Sylveon sheetghost, a shiny Bulbasaur with sunglasses, and a scarved Kadabra who's levitating some luggage.-

-La opens a door to here-

La: Pokemon talk to anyone who know how to listen! Anyway. you're in the Stormchaser. Now we gotta find a J-Teamer to swear you into the J-Team.

-Merlin smirks-

Merlin: It's dangerous, dirty, and downright diabolical. You still up for it?

Locke: Fair enough... Should we get going to where Alex wanted?

-To Channah-

He's a manipulative libertarian who thinks of mons as tools, I've gotten violent over the last thing... but since he's your brother and you know him better than me I'll refrain from passing too much judgement.

 Stormchaser, tonight 

-Is hanging around the entrance when I spot an obvious stranger in purple-

Hey, who are you? I keep tabs on who comes to the Stormchaser and you're not someone I've seen before.

-The tone is slightly wary, but not exactly unfriendly-

edited 17th Apr '18 7:43:14 PM by rmctagg09

-A pointy dragon girl and a guy trying not to turn into a fox walk out of the Stormchaser. The former has devoted every ounce of attention to her phone.-

Mason: You know you don't have to write really big messages every time, right?

Corrin: It's common courtesy, is it not? I was taught to include everything I wished to say in the same letter, so as to not inconvenience the courier or the recipient.

Mason: It's automated and—

-He stops as Corrin blindly walks directly into Elizabeth.-

Corrin: Oof!

-She fumbles to not drop the phone, barely catching it before it hits the ground.-

Mason: ...Rule number one of owning a phone, watch where you're going.

Channah: It's fine, really. I'm uh, not used to people agreeing about him. Guess I should be happy, heh. But, yeah. There's some more fun facts for ya.

Elizabeth: "Oh, I-I'm Elizabe-"

-A wild Corrin appeared!-

Elizabeth: "Um, it's okay."

"Hey-"

Lyra: <No. Cami said her brother.>

Elizabeth: "Right."

-She turns back to Tagg.-

Elizabeth: "I'm Elizabeth. Uh, Tsukida."

-AU!Shaun nods.-

-Corrin sweatdrops and frantically bows her head in apology to Elizabeth-

Corrin: I'm so sorry! I should have been paying attention, my bad. I didn't hurt you, did I?

Mason: For the love of— she said she was fine chill out

 [Cape Tappi], past 

Hmm...

Was there... anyone else before me?

-Beat-

I mean, not in that way, I mean back when I was inside your mindscape there was this one memory and you don't have to answer if you don't want to.

 Stormchaser, tonight 

-To Elizabeth-

I'm Tagg. Just Tagg.

-Hand outstretched-

What brings you to the Stormchaser? You don't seem like one of the fanbase. Or at least not one of the messed up ones.

Orlok: <Yeah! Let's get going.>

Charlotte: <Oh? You'd send a delicate woman like me on that kind of trip? I could do it, but I wouldn't mind having a little backup...>

-as the group continues along they can hear a giggling-

Merlin: Well. I just need you to do something for a friend of mine, they're in a bit of a bind.

-Sure enough Alex and the others are waving to them from down below-

Alex: Come on! The Cubone have busy schedules!

Channah: -blinks- Well there's a lotta memories in here. Like. A friend I traveled with? 'Cause there wasn't anyone that fits that description.

Pollen: <...>

Megan: -looking at her phone- There's only a few left...

Main Quest: Dialga's Boot

Ceal: @-@

Main Quest: Dialga's Boot

Megan: -a trail of defeated Thieves behind her, rubbing her fist- Much better.

Someone: @_@

Three

Main Quest: Dialga's Boot

Megan: -ramming the delivery into a specific stone, to the groans of a bunch of hopeful almost-heroes- Haha! Suck it!

Thespi: <And so the villains win! Dooming this fair city to an age of darkness, until the Chosen One can come forth and claim their legendary birthright!>

Megan: -striding off- Let's get outta here before that happens.

Vee: :3

Two

Main Quest: Dialga's Boot

Megan: This confuses me, but it's DELIVERED! :D

Pollen: <Wha—>

Tripod: -–-–-

One

Megan: -lifting a case of really, really fancy wines (and other assorted alcohols(?))- Okay, this is the last one!

Pippy: -fighting what was once a wine store's wine tasting party- <Thank Dialga.>

Megan: That's the hope! Apparently.

Logan: Oh! It's just some ancient folklore, from my home, that may be real and also maybe sorta magic.

Addie: -shrugging- <Something something crystallized emotions of an ancient dysfunctional royal family something something...>

<...which after some Events^tm around ten years ago have come to represent opening up interpersonally or something, but also maybe magic.>

Logan: -musing- Well, it was science enough to build a region-controlling doomsday machine out of...

Addie: <She must never know.>

Logan: Agreed.

-with subdued pride, hands on hips- And the Ranger Corps is what I'm a part of!

Mane: -settled down, daintily- <They're good folk.>

Ceal: <Th-thank you!>^-^

<A-and I have a friend, who's not with the pirates, who likes music, who I think'd really like your music t-too! Also I like to sing and, um...m-maybe...>

-nervously fingering the vest, or as close as she can without fingers- <...s-so is this related to that weird goo I saw? Wh-what is it?>

-that friend is not doing well-

Tripod: -. . . . ! . . . . ? . . .- >–x–~

Thespi: <PWAH!>

-glancing around- <C'mon, we gotta follow!>

-crunch-

-seeing them- <...'Pod? Oh no...>

Tripod: -a hazy noise that comes out more like an audible finger-stuck-in-an-ear than the intended thumbs-up- @-@-@

Thespi: <augh>

-shaking herself- <C'mon, we can—where're those—>

-crunch munch-

Thespi: <...>

-she glances over to see the Plusle and Minun, sitting on air some distance away, munching on some slightly charred popcorn-

Plusle: <Heya! That looked like it sucked.>

Minun: -crnch, crnch-

Thespi: <Where were you guys, anyways? Is that our popcorn?>

Plusle: -through a mouthful of popcorn- <Oh, y'know. Around.>

Minun: -crnch crnch crnch glp-

Thespi: -tending to Tripod with a Berry supply that is smaller than she remembered- <So are you gonna help?>

Plusle: <Nah, we're good. Carry on~>

Minun: -nom crnch crnch crnch-

-To Channah-

There was you and someone else in front of a TV watching some movie, you looked like you wanted to reach for their hand, but didn't.

"..."

"Well, that's not offputting at all."

Channah: -eye twitches- Ugh. That'd be Kyler. School friend. Um... ... I, yeah. He was - nothing. Did I really show you that? Eugh.

 [Cape Tappi], past 

...You can ask me questions now if you don't want to talk about Kyler and whatever relationship you may or may not have had with him.

 Route 4 

Ann: This is totally pleasant.
