ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Stormchaser

Colt looked at the new arrival and contemplated the silence. Who was this girl? Probably not someone very familiar to the J-Team, as few could recognize her, and some who did obviously didn’t like her. Ignore her, he decided.

And then it hit the fan. Good call. He sent out a few ‘mons.

A blindfolded Lucario landed and fired a Shadow Ball at the Dhelmise. D.C. smiled, happy to be back in control.

Helmsman stood beside the Steel-type and slashed his seamitar twice, the whooshing creating an Air Slash while his Seamitar remained held in front of him, backhanded, to defend.

Sylveon hollered at them to step off with Hyper Voice, Pixilated.

Colt drew his Night Slash Claws and engaged.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

 Stormchaser 

-Looking at the two Shards after lobbing a Pester Ball in the direction of some of the enemy mons to make them run away-

...He's here.

Muddy: -Casually knocking an enemy Magmar away- <Do we engage?>

Let him come to us, Lucius is unlikely to resist a chance at a fight, and I want to talk to him.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Stormchaser

-The phone chitters angrily as it falls the short distance onto the floor during the commotion-

-It's a phone. It was just here to be an inert audio conduit for the meeting, it's ineffectual in anything else-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

-as Ever and PEFE!Every retreat further into the ship, Ever sends out Breeze, who walls off the way they went with a bright, glittering, conspicuous Reflect shield-

Breeze: <You know that won't actually stop anyone from just walking through, right?>

Ever: I'd be very concerned if that were my goal, yes.

PEFE!Every: Ever, you have two seconds to explain what's going on.

Ever: Right, sorry.

-he loosens his grip-

We need to find a room. There's probably a brig here somewhere, but I'm too lazy to locate it, so...

-he opens a random door-

This looks like a holding cell, right?

PEFE!Every: Wait. Are you—

Ever: You said you intend to return to Mobius. Mobius believes we've kidnapped you. This is an ideal time to reintegrate you into their organization. Nobody will think twice about a rescued hostage, no?

-...-

-PEFE!Every's gaze goes steely-

-well-

-it's hard and cold, anyway. Icy?-

PEFE!Every: Right.

-she steps into the room-

Ever: I need your coat.

-PEFE!Every's composure visibly cracks-

PEFE!Every: Wh-what?

Ever: If you're a prisoner, it would be idiotic of us to give you free access to your team. It'll be right outside the door as soon as someone comes to get you, but it needs to look like we've been holding you here.

PEFE!Every: -shrinking into herself- I don't think I can be without my team.

Breeze: <Ever, you don't think this is a little much?>

Ever: Not if we want to sell this. There's enough time to change plans and just hide you in here, but...

-...-

Ever: It'll only be a few minutes. Promise.

PEFE!Every: ...Right.

-she hands over her coat to Ever, who hangs it up outside the room-

Ever: I'm going to lock you in here.

PEFE!Every: The doors lock from the inside.

Ever: I'm good at obstructing things.

Breeze: <Well, he's good at telling me to obstruct things.>

Ever: I know how to delegate.

Hey. It might be a bit before you can see us again, so in the meantime, take care of yourself. Don't get forced into any weird projects.

PEFE!Every: (dryly) Thanks.

Ever: I'm serious. Be safe, be smart.

PEFE!Every: Rarely, always.

-she opens her arms slightly. Ever takes the cue, and gives her a hug-

Ever: See you.

-and he exits the room, Breeze twisting the lock telekinetically until the door can't be opened by conventional means, and the two head deeper into the Stormchaser-

-PEFE!Every sits down on the bed, curling into a ball and rocking back and forth as she waits-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Homer: Okay, but that still doesn't explain why you want to initiate me. Is this about something my kadabra did? Because, I can assure he is an idiot and any punishment you have for him is extremely justified, just don't charge me money.

Mokuba: <That sounded rehearsed.>

Homer: That's because it was.

Let's all have fun

-The egg family all stir at the noise-

-Jean sends out Azurda and opens fire with her blaster-

-Gabe is knocked out by the incoming assault-

-Jackie sends out Chiroptera-

-Jared fumbles for a ball-

-Neon, caught without his armor, fumbles for a ball-

-Sora is knocked out by the incoming assault-

-Zumi sends out Kusanagi-

-Leeya sends out Tiny Tim-

-Gina fumbles for a ball-

-Alli sends out Keaton-

-Arika sends out Wrangler-

-Nico sends out Lancelot-

-Robin sends out Florence-

-Bartelby, being human at the time, is knocked out by the initial attack-

-The Phantom Force assemble, as do Nero and Medea-

-Everyone attempts to counterattack, but it's chaos-

-Odin runs around screaming-

Artoria tosses her scarf aside, landing next to Corrin with a Swords Dance.

Artoria: <They won't get you this time.>

Mordred does a flying jump kick in, tossing her own brooch off. <Hell yeah they won't.>

Brynhilde pauses.

Their hand flicks out, billowing their cape, releasing a pokeball

Les dés tombe où ils tombe.

Brynhilde: "Gloire! En face!"

Mordred: <Helix she's Kalosian too~>

Artoria: <Not the time!>

An Iron Grunt rounds the corner into the room to be greeted by a semi-spectral Rapidash with a mane and tail of blue flame charging into his face like a vengeful spirit of Hell, sending him sprawling.

For whatever reason, his knee-jerk reaction is to send out an Emboar.

Against a Rapidash.

Really?

His mistake is evident as Gloire walks through the Emboar's flamethrower unscathed.

Gloire: <Torche. C'est la vie, Mademoiselle.>

Another Grunt sends out a Blaziken in front of Artoria, Mordred, and Corrin, who settles into a fighting stance with a 'bring it' expression.

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

-A wall of Light Screens from the grunts' various mons block the shots from the Containment Gel Turrets, before Stone Edges from Gus fly at them in an attempt to destroy them.-

-As Lita draws her broken sword and charges, Scarlette's expression immediately changes from neutral to furious◊. The charge is immediately shut down by Chantey bringing a chain down on her, and Scarlette moves to kick her in the face while she's down.-

Scarlette: This is your first move?! Abandon all sense and just run in blindly?! Don't be stupid!

Rose: S-Scarlette, I—

Mason: Hey, snap out of it and fight already!

-Where Evan was, there's now nobody immediately visible, but by the floor, panicked irritable chittering can be heard as a Joltik weaves through the crowd to avoid being stepped on due to his latest Omniband malfunction.-

-Corrin nods to Artoria and Mordred, taking a ready stance and swiping at the Blaziken with a Dragon Claw. Mako, Stitch, and Nora likewise do, fending off whoever they can.-

Liam: I don't even have my Pokeballs, we c-can't-

Lillianna: I know! Just keep your head down while I look for an escape!

-Future!Bishop darts forward and hits Falchion with a Brick Break, doubling him over as Shard(?) stares in shock.-

Falchion: <Ack!>

Shard(?): Wait... Liam? Bishop?

Shard: Take out the Scizor!

Shard(?): I... I can't, I-

-Cyrokinesis swoops in and blasts Future!Bishop with a Shadow Ball, almost knocking Shard(?) off "her" feet.-

Shard(?): Gah!

-They take a moment to steady themself, noticing Tagg in the process.-

Shard(?): I... o-okay, I can do this...

-They lunge at Muddy with a Shadow Claw.-

Trans rights are human rights. JK Rowling preaches hate. If you sit at a table with five bigots and say nothing, there are now six bigots.

Logan: -standing, from "what" to "um" to "what the shit" in the space of several seconds, quietly panicking- ...what is happening

Addie: -faintly- <The security really did seem a bit bad...>

-uncertain in an unfamiliar setting, they try to back away as the room crowds with Grunts and mons, but are stuck unfortunately close to the new door-

Random Grunt: -eyes them-

No mind to think. No will to break.

Rocket: <Nah, nothing like that>

-headshake-

<If you really want to be left alone, you can just leave, exit's over there. But usually once someone gets turned into a pokemon then they end up tripping over more and more weird stuff, so it's just kind of a habit to invite to join up so they don't have to deal with it all on their own>

"Oof!"

Lita is pinned to the ground.

She goes wide eyed as Scarlette's foot moves towards her.

...It's blocked, by the hilt of her sword, hanging in mid air.

"I usually save my best moves til the second date, but since you're cute I'll make an exception."

Chanty's chain starts rattling against their control.

Meanwhile Waspinator aims it's stinger at Chanty.

Waspinator used Fell Stinger!

GIVE ME YOUR FACE

 Stormchaser 

-Some turrets are destroyed by Gus' Stone Edge, but others keep shooting-

The smart thing probably would be to try tricking them deeper inside where we have home field advantage, we do excel at close quarters after all...

-To Shard (?), in a tone that screams less "anger", and more "disappointment"-

...I know who you are under that getup.

Muddy: -Just dodges Shard (?)'s Shadow Claw before swiping with an arm to attempt knocking them to the ground- <You sure you really want to do this? The whole Iron thing?>

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-a pair of Iron Grunts slip around the chaos, passing through the Reflect shield-

Iron Grunt #1: -let's call him Sam, because this is his name- Come on, whatever those two are protecting, it's got to be important.

Iron Grunt #2: -let's call her Sam, because it is her name- Aww, I really wanted to stomp a few J-teamers...

Sam: We're Grunts, Sam. You really think that's a good idea?

Sam: Okay, but like, we're on the offensive. That's a good position to be in. I bet we could make some real contributions to this raid.

Sam: Please don't call it a raid.

Sam: ...Is that not what it is?

Sam: I'd just prefer if you didn't say it.

Sam: Eh, fine.

-the two proceed down the hall, taking out balls-

Sam: Look, I just think we can do more damage this way. If there are people here who weren't at the meeting, anyone in the hospital...we're supposed to hit them where it hurts, right? Going for the frontlines won't accomplish that.

Sam: Okay, okay.

-she raises her hands in defeat-

Whatever helps us bring about the fall of the gods, right?

Sam: ...

Sam: ...?

Sam: ...I'd really prefer not to discuss religion at work.

Sam: I...what?

Sam: I'm not comfortable with it. I get that there's a lot of overlap but I'd just rather not.

Sam: We're part of an organization that...

...

Sorry.

Sam: It's alright. Just, y'know, something to keep in mi—

???: Help!

-the two stop-

Sam: You hear that?

Sam: Yeah.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Shaun: "I do mind, actually."

-Shaun rushes at a Grunt, ready for a fight. As he nears them, a Poké Ball pops open and a Wimpod Aqua Jets at the nearest foe.-

-Elizabeth panics for a moment as Haku steps in front of her protectively.-

~Use the blaster, dumbass!~

-Elizabeth ducks and scrambles in her purse, pulling out a small silver gun that she aims at the Scarlette.-

-There are two "blips" as Lyra and Beowulf teleport at Chantey with a Psycho Cut construct axe and a Fire Punch, respectively.-

Laurent: "My apologies for being late. I lost track of ti-"

-He draws his Levin Sword.-

Laurent: "I must insist you desist at once."

---

-The kitchen door thuds open.-

Jessica: "Hey-"

-Jamie yips as a gun is shoved in his face.-

Iron Grunt: "Come with me or the fox gets it."

-Jamie puts up a Protect barrier.-

Jamie: <Dumbass.>

Jessica: "Yeah, that could have been planned better."

-The gun swivels to her face.-

Jessica: "Damnit."

Iron Grunt: "Now are you gonna come with me?"

Jessica: "If you let him go."

-The grunt looks at Jamie.-

Iron Grunt: "Go."

-Jamie looks at Jessica.-

Jessica: "Go, Jamie. Don't be a hero."

-Jamie sits there and nods, jumping to the floor, darting out of the kitchen.-

-The grunt smirks smugly at Jessica.-

-Jessica's grip tightens.-

Jessica: "Nice pellet gun, b-t-dubs. But the paint job could use some work."

-And that knife she's been holding? The one she was cutting berries with?-

-Jessuca buries it up to the handle in the grunt's thigh before rushing out the door.-

-And she's immediately tackled and cuffed with zipties.-

Jessica: "What, you need four guys to take out one tiny girl?"

-She recieves a boot to the face followed by an injection of a sedative.-

Iron Grunt #2: "There's one."

Iron Grunt: "CAN SOMEONE HELP ME I HAVE A FUCKING KNIFE IN MY LEG"

-Berry Bubble adjusts his grip on Celena as he turn to look at Ace and Tsunami before flinching.-

Berry Bubble: ¶☣'±☣ ☼♠√ √♦♠≥▓é☣! ▼√♠♦♀↨♣•▼☣♦, ◙♠¶!

Celena: {On it!}

-She pulls a 180-degree turn.-

Ace: <Celena, where are you going?>

Tsunami: <Something's up. Follow her!>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

-Jared has managed to send out Perdita, who is wrestling a grunt-

-Jean has lost her fake arm and is attempting to retreive it from a Grunt's Toxicroak-

-Bartelby, Gabe, and Sora are still unconsious-

-Odin is still screaming-

The Blaziken moves into the Dragon Claw, intending to catch Corrin's arm in the process before countering by shoving her backwards.

Blaziken: <Kakakakaka! How rude, attacking without giving your names. How can we truly enjoy this dance of battle without first exchanging names? I am Li Shuwen.>

Artoria: <My name is Artoria.>

Mordred: <I'm Mordred! ... Can we get back to kicking each others' respective asses now?>

Blaziken Li Shuwen: <Your dragon compatrion has yet to introduce herself. Then we may.>

Mordred: <... Yeah fuck it.>

Mordred rushes at Li Shuwen, attempting to swing at him with one of her blades, charged with red electricity. Li Shuwen ducks under the slash (a feat, given their respective heights), retaliating with a Flame Kick to Mordred's chest, sending her flying into a chair.

Li Shuwen: -shaking his head- <Kakaka. Manners, young lady.>

Mordred: <... Okay ow.>

Artoria flourishes her blades once more.

Meanwhile, at least one Iron grunt is running terrified for his life while his Emboar stands her ground.

Gloire: <J'offre mes condolences. Votre entraineur est un lâche.>

Emboar: <Yeah, sorry, I don't speak Kalosian.>

Gloire: <Tant pis.>

She slams into the Emboar with a Shadow Claw (well, hoof), staggering the Emboar back. The Emboar attempts to retaliate with a Hammer Arm that... passes right through Gloire.

Emboar: <... You're some sorta Delta aren't you.>

Gloire nods.

Emboar: <Damn.>

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

Homer: -sigh- look, I'm just trying to figure out what you people want from me and... Mokuba!

-"Mokuba stands on top of a laundrey cart, with a black sheet tied to him like a cape and boxers on top of his head like bat ears."-

Mokuba, deep voice: <I am the avenger of juices, the savior of the insomniacs, the defender of the ritz, I. Am. Zubatman!''>

-"Mokuba leaps off the laundry cart, sheet spread like a glider and... he crashes to the ground with a loud thud."-

• beat*

-"Mokuba slowly sits up, looks at his scraped knee, and his eyes start to water."-

Mokuba, on the verge of tears: -sniffle- <~I... I hurt my knnneeeee, bwahhhh wahhh>

-"The baby cubone starts crying hysterically."-

Homer: -sighs again, then turns to Rocket- got any Band-Aids?

Let's all have fun

-Corrin frowns as her Dragon Claw is caught.-

Corrin: <...If you must know, I am Corrin of Hoshido and Nohr.>

-She uses her other fist to Sky Uppercut the Blaziken while he's close.-

-Meanwhile, Scarlette scowls at disgust at Lita's attempt at mid-battle flirting. Chantey is struck by the Fell Stinger, but it doesn't look particularly devastating. Scarlette takes her foot away, glancing ever-so-briefly at Phoenix before looking at Lita again.-

Scarlette: ...You're not our target anyway. You can keep being useless on their side. Throw her, Chantey!

Chantey: Aye, we've got better plans than dealin' with ye!

-Chantey swings the chain around and tosses Lita across the room.-

Scarlette: All right, team! Gather whoever you can and leave!

-Gus tackles Logan to the ground, and a grunt attempts to hit them with a sedative. Similar things happen throughout the battlefield to various J-Teamers, getting as many captives as they possibly can.-

Phoenix: I should start a [You Tube] channel rating my kidnappings.

-Muddy's swipe manages to floor Shard(?), cracking one of the lenses of their mask as they fall, and this time they struggle to pick themself back up.-

Shard(?): Oof! Fuck, too many first-person pronouns, I guess...

-They pull off their damaged mask, revealing - to no-one's surprise - a pale, raven-haired young man.-

Lucius: Look, I... I wish it didn't have to be like this, but I can't abandon Scarlette now. Not here. Besides... we've got scores to settle with you guys.

-He sends out Kirk, who launches an Aura Sphere at Muddy.-

Kirk: <Trust me, I'm not happy about this either.>

-Meanwhile, as Cryokinesis battles Future!Bishop, Shard sends out Stalactite and advances towards Lillianna and Liam.-

Lillianna: Liam, stay behind me.

Liam: I... I'm not a-afraid of her!

Shard: No?

-She gives a wave of her hand, and Stalactite slams the ground with an Earthquake, knocking Lillianna off her feet and Liam against the wall.-

Shard: Should be.

-a Team Iron grunt throws a knife at Fortis, who thankfully dodges-

Iron Grunt: Die, legendary bastard! No longer shall we be shackled under your rule!

Fortis: Oh my gosh!

Minty: <Unhand her, fiend!>

-Minty swoops down onto the Grunt, who yelps and then jumps away as a Bisharp falls onto Minty-

Iron Grunt: Nice try, bird, but I'm better prepared than that!

Pianis: Are you prepared for this, though?

-an Icicle Crash falls on the Bisharp-

Cirno: <Take that!>

-and is sliced in twain before it can hit-

Iron Grunt: Yes.

Pianis: Damn.

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

-Gabe, Sora, and Bartelby start coming to, but are ironically sedated quickly and carried off-

-The rest are too busy trying to thwart other grunts and mons with sedatives to notice-

-Yvan is at the mansion-

-Waiting-

Lita is tossed over the table and hits the wall, slinking back down to the ground. Her sword falls to the ground with a clunk.

"Jerks aren't my type anyways..."

She falls unconscious.

Waspinator buzzes over to her.

<Boss? Boss!>

He carefully nudges her.

Channah: -has gotten through a few grunts and is now edging away from the main party-

Liberty: <I say there, drop that pointy jobbydoo!> -knocks away a grunt trying to sneak up on his trainer with a tranq, flaring his arm-cannons-

Channah: ...Wha? -looks at the fallen grunt and then around, staring at the other J-Teamers being carted off-

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