ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

The Room

Oh sure, I pocketed it and unless the notes return to their home when you leave a World...

-He rummages in his pockets for the list memo-

Basically to sum up the memo had names, a combination of proper names and Pokemon species names for the first ten, an X because of something I'm waiting for all of us to be here to reveal, a bunch of keywords from your scripture note and then another X because I guess that's some sort of spoiler that's been changed.

Jimmy turned pale as he saw the body turn up, "Guys... we need to move... now."

The group begun to move away from the lake, Jimmy searching for a way around.

Ribbon vanished and was replaced with Pollen.

Silas blinked a bit and looked over, "Uh, Hi Pollen, what brings you by?"

Suddenly Ribbon pops into existence in place of Pollen.

The Sylveon blinks and then looks over and smiles, <Oh hai! You must be Megan!>

The Room

Hae-won: "Ah..."

She looks over at it.

"Wait, Vaida? I needed to revive a Houndoom by that name."

Oblivion Wing, Cargo Bay

Yunwa: -at the intercom- {It's not my fault your airship's so small!}

Yunwa is a bit surprised to see Colt change like that but doesn't understand him right now as a mon.

They gesture to him, then themselves in a questioning manner.

Virbank Gym

The Whirlipede is indeed struck again and not landing a crit, they seem to be weaker, but not down.

The Whirlipede then rushes forth with a Pursuit, trying to hit the weak spot.

Oblivion Wing

Talbain gestured to the scarf around his neck and removed it. Now that he had his fingers back, he grabbed his phone.

“Okay, can you understand me?” He asked Yunwa. “Chomp on the air twice if you can, once if you cannot.” He clarified.

And then he stood back and returned Caliburn before he could be consumed inadvertently.

Bwahte 4

Colt, Julius and Kazuma continue to fire at Sandy, who they all agreed would be much leas annoying in the long term, since the other Exploud’s hail would only go to Colt’s head.

Any attacks directed at them were taken, but powered through.

Desert Temple

-Right on cue, the lights go out again-

Kainé:<Sonova->

Kainé:<If you keep doing this, I swear I'm gonna->

-The spotlight moves to the burning scene-

Kainé:<THAT'S IT!>

-Kainé slashes the door ahead open, leading back to the central room-

<I'm finding this "priest" and cutting him in half.>

Nierverse Library

Popola:<Hm...>

-The Meloetta taps her chin.-

Nier:<Any help would be amazing right now.>

Popola:<Well...I don't know about these "lost" parts of him...but they sound like the Sealed Verses you found a while back.>

-She shakes her head sadly-

<I know the legends and Weiss himself led you to them before but now...?>

Weiss:Then this is a fruitless pitstop then? Harrrrumph.>

Popola:<...maybe not?>

Nier:<Oh?>

Popola:<Well...other than the stone wall downstairs and your current mansion problem, there have been reports of increased shade activity at the old facotry and the Aery...but the Factory's been locked for some time now...even the robots there have been...seemingly shut down.>

Sylph:-nod nod-<Hmm hmm.>

-Jimmy will come across a clearing in the forest, with a stump upon which two items lay - a ritualistic-looking dagger with glowing dark purple veins in the blade, and a silvery flat sword with a triangular guard-

-they seem to be available for picking up - at least one of them, anyway-

Oblivion Wing, Cargo Bay

Yunwa chomps twice to indicate they understand Colt fine.

Library

Mandrake: <Hm, maybe a trip to the factory would be worthwhile, then?>

Oblivion Wing - Cargo Hold

“Good,” he observed as he sent out Caliburn. A little firescura in the Guzzlord’s mouth told him everything, even after it vanished.

“Can you ask him if he’s happy to be cared for by me?” He asked Yunwa as he drew his phone to record the interaction with audio, and get a little clarification in the morning on their exact words.

Caliburn would respond in the affirmative.

Oblivion Wing Cargo Hold

Yunwa: -to Caliburn- {Uh, you know the Colt guy? He wanted me to ask you if you're happy with the training thing or not.}

Oblivion Wing

“{You mean that creature?}” Caliburn chirped as he flitted around his trainer before meeting Yunwa’s gaze again. “{I’m happy to be cared for, but we’ve never been able to communicate. Ha, I say that like someone else would be better for communication, but he seems to be able to understand these other creatures he has with less difficulty, as can I. Well, not completely, but I think I’m close at least,}” Caliburn finished.

“Talkative, ain’t he?” Colt observed. “Uh, don’t worry about giving me signs of what he’s answering. I’m recording this conversation and we can go over what’s being said in the morning, if that’s fine?” He offered. “Does he like what he’s seen of this world so far?” He asked with a little difficulty, feeling rather dwarfed.

Julius: -to Silas and Kaisei- Duly noted. I guess it's an initiation process...

-Blizzy and Sandy do not like this latest volley of attacks-

-Not at all-

-They start delivering rapid-fire Earthquakes and Avalanches-

Svin: <These sermons are getting annoying...>

Oblivion Wing, Cargo Hold

Yunwa: {That's good.}

Yunwa chomps twice in Colt's direction after he says the thing about recording and listening later.

Yunwa: {He also wants to know what you think of this world so far. I'm getting used to it to, so tips'd be cool.}

Oblivion Wing

Gogie: <You could call it that, yeah.>

Down: <M-hm... I thought as much> -vaguely in the direction the lights are coming from- <But what does Kusaru have to do with this realm->

-Sudden Doublade tantrum-

<Kaine? Wait up!>

-Down hop-flaps after the bladed mon as quickly as she can-

Shinobi: <The last one we found after defeating a particularly large Shade, so that sounds like the first place to look.>

-Nods-

<In that case, could you tell Kaine where we went if her party returns before we do?>

Down: <M-hm... I thought as much> -vaguely in the direction the lights are coming from- <But what does Kusaru have to do with this realm->

-Sudden Doublade tantrum-

“{What I’ve seen is strange, albeit charming,}” Caliburn summarized. “{Food’s tasty, if that’s what you’re asking. But a quick pointer. This world seems to pride itself on having creatures fight each other for sport. Not to the death, but still. If you want no part in that, say away from blue spheres with grid textures and yellow highlights. Me? I’m glad to have an excuse to practice; to not stagnate.}”

To prove his point, he summoned a Tailwind from behind himself and flitted around, letting his razor-sharp arms slice the wind.

Bwahte 4

Colt and Julius take the Earthquakes while Kazuma took an Avalanche. Kazume fired Cold Blood at Sandy while Julius made an attempt to lay Category 5 into Snowy.

Colt shot Sylveon’s Desire at Kazuma.

Desert Temple

-Kaine floats down the passage in a huff-

-Kainé slashes through a third door, opening the way to a large bridge over a seemingly bottomless pit, where the sand is all flowing-

Kainé:<LIKE I FUCKING CARE!>

Kainé:<FUCK YOU!>

Library

Popola:<Of course I can.>

-She smiles and bows her head-

<I wish you the best of luck>

Sylph:<Thank you, Ms. Popola~> ^~^

Library

Mandrake: <Indeed, thank you for your assistance.>

<Now, onto the Factory! ...Wherever that is...>

Oblivion Wing Cargo Bay

Yunwa: {It's alright, yeah.}

{Bit late for that, though. Already got caught. But Purple seemed pretty worried about making sure I was safe, as does Fuzzy now.}

Oblivion Wing - Cargo Hold

“{I could say the same about Colt. Gonna have to start referring to him as that now, probably. He valued my choices and didn’t just take me because he could. He actually gave me the choice,}” He recalled. “{Actually, who are Purple and Fuzzy? I don’t think we’d be able to locate them, since it’s unlikely you’ll fit through the door until sunrise, and do they also make you fight?}” Caliburn deduced, his voice showing that he was getting an idea to all who understood him.

Pippy: -at the Earthquake- <Oh goodness OW>

Lapis: BWAH

-and yet, he retains focus on his project, as his friends shoot minions-

-and between his claws he weaves yet more water into the sphere, spinning faster, more wildly-

Pippy: <Okay, technically, I never got past the water balloon training...>

-it reaches a critical mass, the Water energy influx now twisting, raw, glowing visibly within the orb-

Pippy: <And "shinobi" might be pushing it...>

-rotational momentum reaching extremes, countless currents honed into edges-

Pippy: <But I present, imitated to the best of my ability...>

-and Pippy flashes above Sandy, slamming the radiant sphere down at him-

Pippy: <RASENGAN!>

-upon impact, the sphere's dense currents would shred and grind, before the Water energy erupts into a much larger orb, the cycles flaying everything trapped within-

Pollen: <Dunno.>

Stormchaser

Megan: -holding something- Uh, hi Silas's new mon—

Pollen: <Yo.>

Back on the Oblivion Wing

Megan: SILAS!

-and she levels an arm cannon at his face, charging a powerful shot-

fweeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEE—

Ribbon looked at Pollen and smiled, <Hi!>

Silas stared at the barrel of the arm cannon, and proceeded to sit up and stretch, he smiled weakly, it was easily the most genuine smile he had put on in awhile.

Hacks stared at Silas, then at Megan, then at Silas again... worried about what would happen next.

And finally, Silas spoke, "Hey Megan. Good to see you, you doing okay? I'm all right."

The monotone had broken and his voice was hoarse and weak, but it had more actual feeling in it, more than the human face had ever used in a long time.

Megan: I—

-B OO M-

-and the shot explodes at Silas-

-...-

-he might feel rejuvenated, revitalized-

-it might also be a bit loud and perhaps mildly synesthesia-inducing-

Megan: ...

-and then the cannon hits the floor with a whud-

-choked-up- Oh god, Silas, what happened?

-stepping closer, looking at him- ...I-I mean, you said you went on a raid and got your arm chopped off—

-hesitating- I-I've been good! Fighting...stuff.

But, um...

-and by now she's in his face, staring at him with big, brown concerned friend eyes-

-small- Are you sure you're okay?

Pollen: <...'sup.>

Donnel: -to Pollen- <I think you're s'posed to introduce yourself.>

<Hi, I'm Donnel!>

-he is watering a Belue Berry tree-

Yunwa: {Yeah, definitely. Dirt tastes a little better here, though.}

{Purple's... some sort of leader or something. She helped me after a Buzzwole drained all my energy away. Fuzzy helped to and he's the one who's been with me since. Also the one who did the thing that let me turn human.}

-Ever and Guillaume are leaving-

Ever: So it's agreed, right? I'm never shopping with you again.

Guillaume: (laughing) It wasn't that bad, was it?

Ever: Pancreas.

Guillaume: Some people like trying new things, Ever.

Breeze: -crunching the bones of an unidentified piece of rotisserie meat-

Ever: Sure, sure.

Guillaume: You're not convinced.

Ever: It's so needlessly expensive, too. What happened to buying pasta in bulk?

Guillaume: It's good food. It's worth it.

Ever: I disagree emphatically.

Guillaume: Anyway, I think you just don't like having to talk to more than one person to make your purchases.

-Ever raises an eyebrow-

Guillaume: Scared of a little negotiatio—

-Ever stops dead, spinning on their heel and marching back into the store-

Guillaume: ...Well.

Breeze: -licking his lips- ~I should probably offer my help.~

-and he floats off after Ever-

Five minutes later

-Ever marches out of the store, Breeze wrapped around their neck like a scarf and levitating a large decorative houseplant-

Guillaume: And why do you need a large decorative houseplant, Ever?

Ever: I don't know, but I spent five minutes trading for this from a cool rock I found a few years ago in Almia so I'm sure I'll find a use for it.

-they fold their arms triumphantly-

Guillaume: Congratulations. You have purchased a large decorative houseplant for the sheer thrill of acquisition. You now understand the allure of the farmer's market.

-...-

-Ever rolls their eyes-

Ever: Breeze, give the man the large decorative houseplant.

Guillaume: Wait wha—

-and he is now holding a large decorative houseplant-

Ever: I trust you will treat this gift with the respect it deserves.

Guillaume: What am I supposed to do with this?

Ever: -shrug-

Guillaume: ...I'm really not a houseplant person.

Ever: It's never too late to update your aesthetic! Just look at me~

-they strike a pose-

Anyway, I have to go be secretive. Let me know if you want to make any more suggestions as to my hobbies~

-they skip off, giggling-

Guillaume: ...I hate houseplants.

Damascus: <Tell me about it.>

Silas let out a sigh as Megan stared at him, the cannon blast was disorienting but it passed quickly.

"I'm okay as I can be right now."

He leaned forward and continued, "Truth be told the pain comes and goes... And I've got some major decisions to make..."

Silas hugged Megan with his remaining arm, "But I think in the end, I will be okay."

Ribbon walked over to Donnel, <Hi, I'm Ribbon! I'm just wondering how I got here. Ally swap?>

Jimmy looked between the weapons, and proceeded to pick up the sword, "choose the less cursed item..."

“{Probably going to have to find this “Fuzzy” character if their influence allows me to speak to humans,}” Caliburn considered.

“Yeah, just signal to me when you’re done,” Colt said. “I can wait.”

Caliburn looked at Colt in confusion. “{What did he say?}”
