ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-There is a foxgirl here, browsing beach-related items.-

-Mainly cute bikinis.-

Reposted so as to not be bottompaged!

-Mason is currently in the lobby, reading a book. Occasionally, he checks the time on his phone.-

Mason: It probably would have been way quicker to wait for the laundry machines on the Stormchaser to open up, but whatever.

-He flips a page in his book, tuning out the loud thumping sound of the laundry machine running in the background.-

-...-

-That's really loud.-

-Mason lifts his attention from the book to look down the hallway, where Corrin — in Hakamo-o form — is running to catch Mason's attention-

Corrin: <Mason, I think the machine is haunted!>

Mason: What? No, it's not haunted, we just put the clothes in uneven and now it's off balance. It's a really easy fix.

Corrin: <Do they usually laugh when they're off balance?>

Mason: ...

-He facepalms-

Mason: Fuck's sake, I should have stuck to the Stormchaser's laundry machines.

-He rushes down the hallway to the laundry room, to find an Eevee and a Bronzong in combat with a violently flooding laundry machine.-

Eevee: <As I thought! This flood is no ordinary flood! Doty, take this down!>

-The Bronzong immediately drops his fighting stance in order to take out a notebook and pen.-

Eevee: <"At last, he had found his proof! The city's citizens need not fret longer, for Taryon Darrington intended to free them from their horrible haunting! And lo, he took the initiative and begun the daring duel with the unruly ghoul!">

-Doty, the Bronzong, writes down exactly what the Eevee had recited, immediately as he gets a jet of water to the face from the Rotom-possessed washing machine.-

Taryon the Eevee: <Ack— > (unintelligible watery blubbering sounds)

Mason: ...Corrin, let's save that Eevee before he hurts himself more.

Corrin: <Er, right then!>

-She runs toward the Wash Rotom, ducking down under another burst of water before delivering a Sky Uppercut. The Rotom squeals from the hit.-

Taryon: <Oh? What a surprise! We have allies, to assist us in our trial against this curséd machine! Your assistance is much appreciated, friends, but please, allow us to lead the charge!>

-Taryon swishes his tail encouragingly-

Taryon: <Doty, if you will!>

-Without putting the notebook away (or indeed, without even ceasing to write), Doty's eyes glow, and vines erupt from beneath the soaked and soapy floor tiles, wrapping around the Rotom.-

-The Rotom flails, and fires off a Discharge around the room. Not only does it strike all three of its opponents, but it also causes all the other machines in the room to malfunction and start spewing water everywhere.-

Corrin: <Now they're all possessed?!>

Mason: No, just the one, the others are just broken. This is the last time I ever even look at a Pokemon Center laundromat.

Corrin: <If you say so...>

-She Dragon Claws at the Rotom. Taryon shakes himself off, and readies himself.-

Taryon: <Now, I believe it is time for me to take my charge!>

-And he starts to create an orb of spectral energy, which he then lobs at the Rotom. As it hits, the Rotom panics and ejects itself from the machine, fleeing through the lights.-

Corrin: <...We did it, I guess?>

Mason: Yeah, sure. Why is laundry such an awful chore?

-He sighs, leans into the machine as it powers down, and starts pulling out his and Corrin's wet, soapy laundry. Taryon takes a moment to relax.-

Taryon: <It seems we have saved the day, Doty! Take this down, please — "Although the battle was harsh and daunting, Taryon and his companion prevailed once again! But, to think he had put his new allies in such grave danger so carelessly... Tary knew he must make it up to them!">

Mason: That's not necessary.

Taryon: <Oh, but on the contrary! You were dragged into this terrible mess, were you not?>

Mason: It was fucking laundry, we weren't in danger.

Taryon: <Good sir, please, there's no need for humbleness, I have made up my mind. Until I have repayed my debt and cleared my conscience of this grave error, I shall align my adventure with yours!>

Mason: It's... just... laundry...

Merlin: Stones and gems of all sorts! Many of them enchanted.

Jackie: <Nice try but we've got->

-human-

Buisness to take care of.

Merlin: Hmm? Seems you have a condition...

-Bathory is kissed-

Bathory: <Eeeeewww>

Julius: Counterattack!

-Bathory fires a point-blank Dark Pulse-

-the wall busts in and high volumes of beach sand come pouring out of the hole, flooding the hallway-

The Room

-Pent flinches at the wall being blown up. And then... Sand? He's quiet, at one moment raising a finger and tilting his head before turning around to look at everyone else-

Okay, so while this isn't what I intended to happen, this is still an interesting development and I'd like to explore it. I'll explain more later probably...

Lumiose

“That’s like what I have,” Caliburn observed. “Uh, you can’t see it right now, but under the moon I take my old form,” he explained.

“But that’s not really something I think you can help with. Uh... I’ll take a... Shiny Stone and a Water Stone,” he offered, presenting his debit card to Merlin.

Amanita: Gah!

-she and Phobos jump back-

Phobos: <...Why sand?>

Amanita: Someone up there hates us apparently.

-The volley of Obscura catches baile violently, sending him to the ground. He doesn't get up. Zacharias scoops him up-

Zacharias: hmm, still not quite there, huh? Dont worry, you did great. -to Julius and Bathory- that wasn't bad at all! Bathory, you seem to have a knak for this, and Im sure that once you get more familiar with what your pokemon can do you will be good, your majesty -bows- it was an honor.

Sand happens.

Akravator: <We should build a sand castle!>

Hae-won: "I'm afraid at this point that would somehow lead to someone getting murdered."

-"Homer is standing behind a counter, wearing a pink and white cashier uniform, and looking dead inside."-

Homer: *sigh* Why am I here?

-"Freyja, suddenly jumps on the counter, a pink ribbon wrapped around her neck and tied in a cute bow."-

Freyja, upbeat: <Because Zagreus destroyed all the information you had gathered on Mobius and team iron, and you still need to pay off all the monster clothes you let us destroy.>

• beat*

Homer, annoyed at his eevee: Don't you have anything better to do!?

Freyja: <Well Anubis is taking a nap in his ball, so I can't watch him while he sleeps, so, no, I don't.>

Homer: What about watching the kids... and Zags?

Freyja: <Oh, Melly can handle that.>

-"Suddenly there is an explosion, and a smoking Melinoe goes soring through the air past Homer."-

Mokuba, out of sight: <It didn't work.>

Zagreus: <We need more gasoline!>

-"Homer slams his head on the counter while Freyja cheerfully smiles at her teammates antics."-

-The Rabbid troopers are thinning out-

-Blizzy and Sandy are getting worn down, but team up for a combination Blizzard Earthquake-

Merlin: Thank you!

-he swipes the card on... something, then turns to Jackie-

As for you, miss?

Jackie: ...Fine. You got anything that'll help the shifting?

Merlin: I've got just the thing!

-he starts rummaging around-

-Gabe and Plauge Doktor clap-

Bathory: <Hah! That'll show ya!>

Julius: We... We won!

-he grins at Zach-

My pleasure!

"Ggggggg"

Tabitha: <You're throwing off my aim.>

"Gee, I'm so sorry."

True to her word, Tabitha's aim is thrown off by Daydre trying to dodge the Blizzard Earthquake. Tabitha's shots might or might not hit the remaining Rabbid troopers.

Lilith:' <I suppose I can understand why she'd stay with Nohr as well.>

Genetics Lab, Days Ago

Mew: -sees Hazard and Dracula- ~Oh, you're back!~

Jimmy looks at all the sand, "Sand... Huh..."

~What?~

"I'm half expecting it to start raining blood based on dad's tales."

Silas is standing outside the OW, aiming at a painted target, concentrating as hard as he can, emerald scarf wrapped around his neck.

"You sure you wanna try this?" Hacks asked, only to have Silas nod in return.

<I got the move... I wanted the move... I'm gonna practice with it.>

Hacks shrugged and sighed, "Silas... Honestly... you're kind of a mess right now, you just learned to balance without the other arm recently... are you sure you want to-"

The answer came in the aura actually channeling around Silas's paw, Silas grinned as he felt the energy flow.

He made a pointing gesture, and said, <SPECIAL! BEAM! CANNOOOOOOOOOOOON!>

He fire the Aura Storm straight from the one hand, he was very proud, until the recoil knocked him back and made him miss the target by a full 6 meters.

Hacks started laughing as Silas sat up, <Okay, needs work.>

Dracula took one look around, <Amazing... this is where you're takin->

Then he saw Mew, <What.>

“Crap.” Colt and Julius chorused.

Kazuma is bounced around and is no longer able to stand.

Colt barely survived to fire another shot thanks to his jacket, breathing stagged as he lobbed a Dark Pulse Orbitar at the Explouds.

Julius, having survived best off thanks to Sylveon’s Desire, fired Category 5 at them both.

Lumiose

“Wait, could one of those also work for me?” Caliburn asked.

Colt claimed the Shiny and Water Stones. “Fine, I’ll buy one such stone for Caliburn, too. Assuming that you have one?” He agreed.

-Jessica pokes her head out of an aisle.-

Jessica: "Covering for Prime?"

Hazard: <Yeah, this is the place. Hey again, Mew.>

-The auxillary Rabbids are taken down-

-Blizzy and Sandy roar and fire a Sheer Cold and Fissure-

-Merlin pulls out two pendants, one with a Salamencite and one with a Moon Stone, and hands them to Jackie and Caliburn, respectively-

Merlin: There you go! These will let you shift between your forms at will, and won't create a dependency! However if you lose them you'll quickly revert to your old method of transformation.

Jackie: -takes it- Really? Wow, thanks. How much?

Merlin: Oh, I won't be needing money for those. You just owe me a favor down the line~

Jackie: A wha-

-and he's gone-

...Let's just find Julius.

-she heads off-

Route 4

Ye gods, these guys just won't quit won't they?

-He keeps moving to try and avoid getting too banged up by the attacks, using vague windows of opportunity to snipe at the bosses-

Hope Bwah Base is ready to clean up all the excess sand and show these guys fused with.

-sand continues to pour out. A crack of light appears at the top of the hole, and widens as the sand empties out - Sunlight. It seems that the hole leads outside-

-finally the stream slows to a trickle. Beyond the newly-created hole in the apartment wall is a pristine beach during the daytime, with blue rolling waves in the distance. Warm air gently blows into the hallway and the sun shines on the dreary hallway carpet-

-further out, something is sticking out of the sand - a person?-

-"Homer lifts his head up, still dead inside, and looks at the girl who just talked."-

Homer: Yeah, I think, I just sort of got told to-

-"Homer stops midsentence and notes that the girl he's talking to has fox ears and a tail."-

-"Homer opens his mouth to speak, the closes it, then opens it again, then just sort of accepts the possibility that he's gone completely crazy."-

-"Just then, Mokuba comes running in, carrying an empty gallon of gas."-

Mokuba: <Human, your ruler needs more-> -notices Jessica and leaps about a foot up into the air, landing with a joyfull look in his eyes- <OH MY GOSH IT'S A CASTER!>

Homer: ...dude?

Jessica: "I have no idea what you're talking about!" :D

Shigure: <Yeah...>

Camilla: <Um...>

<Did I forget to mention I met a female Corrin?>

-Beat-

Shigure: <Yes.>

Niles: "You ought to be punished, Lady Camilla."

Camilla: <Keep it in your pants, Niles. Especially since you're holding your husband.>

 The Beach 

-Walking through the hole-

Place has my powers on the fritz...

-Decides to walk over to get a closer look at the person-

 Route 4 

-Ann's aim is thrown off, and she ends up spraying at the surviving Rabbids instead-

Kazuma, Julius and Colt all promptly returned.

Lumiose

“A favor?” Colt parroted after Merlin left. “Arceus’ unholy flank, we just got fae’d. That favor is probably going to be a migraine the size of [Plymouth] or something,” Colt recalled.

“I should know, I had to do a favor for Mew and it was a migraine, and then I offered for her to come to me if she needed one because I was blinded by associating with Legendaries, and cuteness.”

“Should I fret?” Caliburn asked, grabbing the stone he was given and reverting to being Kartana.

“Not yet, but when he comes to you, don’t brush him off,” Colt warned.

“{Hey, I understood you!}” He observed as they began to wander off to the Stormchaser and Oblivion Wing.

Somewhere in Alola

A Rockruff whose weight is not very out of the ordinary probably sneezed.

Homer, to Jessica: Neither does he really. Anything I can help ya with?

Mokuba: <Yes I do know what I'm talking about, I play fate GO.>

Mor: <but... aren't you stuck on Camelot?>

Mokuba: <Yep> :D
