ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Reina: So, do we open it?

-there is an ice cube missing from the trays nearby-

-Julius gives a worried look at the Garchomp-

Umbra: Nice to meet you all.

Paul: -grins- My other collection.

Hae-won gets the general meeting of what the Wynaut's saying and heads over to the other two.

Hae-won: "What's up, guys? Haven't seen you since that lab raid."

Finn sees the unsure redhead.

Finn: <New around this place? You that Julius guy I heard about?>

Barclay: "...Your paintings?"

Paul: ...my weremons, Barclay!

Arronax slowlu rises to his feet.

"Odd things to say after a ship wreck. What do you reckon we are standing on?"

The fog clears a bit and the group can clearly see a hatch in the 'island'.

-Fortis rushes to the gemstone and looks at it-

Fortis: Astral... you saved me, didn't you? You pushed me away but...

-tears start welling up in Fortis' eyes-

Fortis: I'm so sorry...

Noelle: What are we going to do?

-Fortis picks up the gemstone and starts crying in earnest-

Fortis: You were our hope for bringing the sun back and fixing everything, and I couldn't even keep you safe...

Noelle: Was all this for nothing then? Is there really no hope?

Lily(?): No... no! It can't be that! Not after all we've fought for! Not after I finally found her again...

Canis(?): <Stop your sniffling. All of you.>

Noelle: Hey, what makes you think you can—

Canis(?): <Because the star child is alive.>

Noelle: What?

Canis(?): <It's faint, but I sense the presence of life within that shell.>

-he points a paw at the gemstone in Fortis' hands-

Fortis: Oh my gosh! You're okay then!

Silas stretches and lays out the message.

Bwahte 4

“I think we have to fill the ice tray,” Julius observed as his trainer started creating illusory arrows pointing to the hole.

“Anyone got an ice or water-type?” Colt asked, holding Helmsman’s Pokéball

Makbaliv Ocean

Colt and Xatu said nothing upon rejoining the group, instead hoping he wouldn’t get questioned.

Route 4

See, a puzzle. Fill up the tray with fresh ice or look for a pushable block.

Makbeliv, The Metal Island

Some vernian fantastic I suppose. There must be a way within the hull of this boat?

Julius: -backs up a bit- Are you snarling at me?

-Everyone quietly heads for the hatch-

-Rabbid Lina and Rabbid Reina attempt to lift the strange ice block-

"Oh no, I think we just gotta put that block in.." Daydre points at Rabbid Lina and Reina.

Barclay: "Ohhh."

"Uh, sure, yeah. Heard a bit about weremons before."

Jones: <Oh, huh. You got a ship?>

Finn: <...Right.>

<...And Persephone's on vacation, so...>

Finn fishes around and pulls out the scarf Herc bought for him, changing into a human who's not as tall as he was a Garchomp but still pretty tall.

Finn: "Anyway, you that Julius guy?"

I wake up with a yawn, still in this place. It looks a lot like home, but it's... different... been here since I

Huh? Flash of light, maybe it's time to-

...Huh, this looks different. Bit more like that place where I popped out.

<Uh, hey.>

...What was that? I look down.

Oh hey! It's that furry guy! They were there trying to help me with that purple guy.

{Hey there, Fuzzy. You got anything to eat around here?}

<Uhuh... Not sure what you said there... this language barrier's gonna be a bit of a challenge.

They kinda... drew back. Guess that means no.

Ah well, looks like there's plenty to eat around here. I tear a chunk of ground out and scarf it down.

<Whoa geez, I mean I can eat a lot of stuff but dang...>

{What's up, Fuzzy? You startled or something?}

<Ehe... well...>

They pull something out of a bag. It's some kind of opened container that looks like them.

<Maybe you should try...>

Oh hey, smells nice. And Fuzzy's giving it to me? Sweet. I take the bag and eat it in one bite.

{Thanks, Fuzzy!}

I lick them.

<Ehe... well... that usually lasts me a few days... Guess I should be glad Abilene gave us so much...>

Hm... they seem kinda disappointed... I tear out a chunk of dirt and offer it to them.

<Eheh... no thanks...>

I frown.

{Eh, suit yourself.}

And eat it.

-Julius stares in awe-

Julius: Yes I am... Are you a Manakete Pokemon? You're awfully handsome...

Finn: "I dunno what a Manny Keith's supposed to be, but I'm a Garchomp. Just put this on so I could talk to you."

"And thanks, buddy, but I got a boyfriend already."

Julius: Right... So there's ways around the language barrier?

 Stormchaser 

-To Hae-Won-

Not much has changed really.

 Route 4 

Ann: -Just watches them lift the ice block-

Finn: "Yeah, I sometimes have a Bronzor who helps me with telepathy when I need to talk to humans, but I got this thing a while back and I guess I can use it too."

"On your end, if you wanna get around it, you could find out a way to turn into a Pokemon. That usually gets it solved."

Hae-won: "Ah..."

"Not much on my end, been dealing with Libby, mostly."

Paul: Weremons! Frequently called a myth, but I've found some of the shifters.

-he toggles the ceiling, exposing the Sun Stone and Moon Stone lights in succession-

Amanita: Why are you lying facedown on a couch, holding a pair of Weavile?

Ever: One of them's mine.

Jab: <Yo.>

Amanita: Hi, Jab.

Other!Jab: <Hi.>

Jab: <We can't both be Jab. You can be Other Jab.>

Other!Jab: <Why am I Other!Jab?>

Ever: It's in your character tag. Amanita, my hands are full, can you—

-Amanita turns on the TV-

Jab: <Ooh!>

Other!Jab: <Colorbox!>

Jab: <It's called a TV, numbnuts.>

Other!Jab: <That's a stupid name.>

Ever: -sighs-

Julius: Telepathy? There was that girl-like Pokemon who kept getting in my head earlier... But shapeshifting magic is the primary solution then? How does one access it?

Al: -hops up and down- <I neeeeeed...> -scrunches up his face in thought- <Two more! Two more!> -runs off again, this time toward the sound of a television; he peers in to see the Memitos, and scrutinizes them- <Hmmm...>

Amanita: We're being watched.

Ever: Can you tell me by what?

Amanita: Wynaut.

Ever: I don't know. Why not?

Amanita: ...I'm going to cut this gag short and tell you that the mon that evolves into Wobbuffet is watching us.

Ever: Oh. Good for it.

Amanita: (to Al) Heya. Do you want something?

Virbank City Gym:

This time Chopper is hit by the attack, however because he wasn't already poisoned the Venoshock didn't do nearly as much damage as it could have. "Keep at it Chopper, show no mercy! Cross chop!" Mark then ordered, with the machop briefly nodding in acknowledgement before carrying out two karate chops in a distinctive x-pattern toward their opponent.

Al: <Oooh, a watchful one! That will do.> -nods to himself- <Yes, if it's not too much to ask, I could use a moment of your time!> -heads back out to join the other J-Teamers he's collecting-

Barclay: "Huh... So you got this so they can easily shift, huh?"

Finn shrugs,

Finn: "If you just want one shift, my trainer could change you for a night, if you want me to get in contact with him or something."

The Grimer is Cross Chopped, this time getting hit too hard and fainting as a result.

Roxie recalls her.

Roxie: "Hm, looks like it's down to the wire. Better step up my game if I wanna hear you sing. Let's go, Whirlipede!"

Roxie sends out a Pokemon of the given name.

"Now, let's try Poison Tail!"

The Whirlipede rolls over, trying to hit Chopper with a poisoned appendage.
