ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Megavonne

Kaisei: "...Yeah, Definitely know them. One of them was a Deoxys for a bit, but that's April Fools for you."

He thinks for a bit.

"Hmm... well, I guess it might be worth a try. They'd definitely be up for it."

Hazard: <Yeah, I'm ready for this.>

Genetics Lab

Hazard looks at the Helix between the two.

Hazard: <More or less. She's pretty chill and said she'd be here.>

-The attached file is actually [1]-

-Neon and Julius are here-

Julius: ...And by the way lovely armor you've got there.

Neon: Thanks! I call it the Anti-Templar Assault Set, or ATAS.

-looking at a nearby PC-

Though, speaking of busting evildoers, could you help me with something?

Julius: Of course, what?

Neon: See, there's this rouge Darmanitan and Tropius I caught a while back. I've been keeping them in a PC box, but I still need to grill them and see what's up. Can you help me?

Julius: Er, sure?

Neon: Alright then...

-he withdraws the two Nest Balls from the PC box, then sends Cavendish and Dakota out-

Cavendish: <Ack! What's going on?>

Dakota: <Where are we now?>

-it is now they may be approached-

Lumiose Center

An Emboar is teleported in suddenly on top of the desk.

Squealer: <Hey, you Neon?>

Stormchaser

Hajime and Buddy have come here somehow and are looking around.

Neon: -blinks- Wha...?

Julius: Is the pig with them...? -to Squealer- Are you a mage?

Cavendish: <He is not familiar, no...>

Dakota: <This is getting really weird.>

Lumiose Center

Squealer: -to Julius- <Maybe! I don't have much magic power but I know I've got some!>

<But, yeah, seriously, someone said I should go after someone named Neon but he turned out to be not trustworthy, but then I realized that means Neon's probably doing good things and I should seek him out anyway!>

Julius: -to Squealer- It's good you're learning magic!

Neon: -narrows his eyes- Wait, what untrustworty person?

Julius: Actually, Bathory had to help me. I have very little idea of what these Pokemon can do... Apparently they have specifuc attacks they can use?

Lumiose, Past

"Yeah, there are commonly-accepted names for moves. For Bathory, as a Dark-type, she might have such moves as Night Slash," he said as he made a slashing motion with his hand, making sure not to hurt anyone with the purple trail left behind.

"But 'mons aren't just limited to the moves their typing imposes on them, and it always pays for them to have a large repertoire of moves to fall back on," Colt smirked.

"And that's not even talking about Abilities," Colt started before Sylveon leaped out of his backpack and met his gaze with disapproval. <Too much, too fast,> she said bluntly.

Lumiose Center

Squealer: -to Julius- <Thanks! I'm focusing mostly on rock stuff.>

-to Neon- <Izaya Orihara!>

-a Tropius greets Hajime and Buddy-

Basket: <Hey! Real quick, before we begin, the Battle Frontier Oversight Committee insists I warn you that this test may involve dancing and tacky earworms. Do you have health complications that either could aggravate?>

-a robot in the corner is engaged in sewing a Latios Ranger Sign into a piece of fabric-

Stormchaser

Hajime sees Basket.

Hajime: "Oh, cool, a Tropius! And you've got different-"

And then he hears Basket.

His eyes narrow at her warning after the thing about Hoenn and he pauses for a bit before responding.

"...I don't, no."

Buddy takes his ball and heads off.

Buddy: <Get me when you're done.>

Down: <Geeze... This body isn't made for sprinting>

-The little bird gasps after finally catching up to Kaine, and with little other clue to the voice's location addresses the curtain-

<This temple was sacred ground before you appropriated it, you're more trespasser than we. Now who are you? What does Kusaru have to do with events in this realm?>

Shinobi: <Makes it hard to get lost then. But we won't know anything until we check it out>

-He smiles at Sylph-

<Come on, we might need your ability to phase through walls if the doors are locked>

-And starts heading for said valley and the factory

Julius: -blinks- Earth magic?

Neon: Wait... That's the guy that gave me the tipoff on these two!

Cavendish: <See? We're innocent! Mostly.>

Dakota: <For a human with enough mental strength for Psychic-type powers you're awfully dumb.>

-Julius is jotting notes down-

Julius: I'll look all of those up!

Basket: <OK, good.>

<SO! I'm currently studying a few anomalies and the limits thereof.>

<For example, everybody knows what happens if you play this music...>

Lumiose

“Good decision; it’s always a good idea to have some sort of guide to the Pokémon in your possession,” Colt started,

<Especially when they start evolving - trust me, they can become a more noticable handful around that time,> Sylveon warned, fully aware of the hypocrisy.

“But yeah, if you’re willing to show that sort of initiative, you’ll make it in the Pokémon battling scene,” Colt chimed as he walked off, into [Schrödinger’s Airship].

Lumiose Center

Squealer: <Earth Magic, yeah!>

-to Neon- <Oh, yeah, there's a good chance that was a lie.>

<But don't worry, someone gave me a tip on how to deal with him and he should be happy soon as things fall into place.>

Stormchaser, Science Time

The music is playing and Hajime is doing some sort of wiggling dance to it, but doesn't seem to have much of a reaction to the fact he's dancing.

Hajime: "Right, yeah..."

Basket: <On the other hand, what happens if we play...>

<This?>

-Julius waves to Colton, then turns to Gabe-

Julius: Now... What were you saying about these "fossils"?

Gabe: Oho! Well for that, we're going to have to take a trip to Luminous Cave...

Jackie: Oh no.

-Bathory, Plague Doktor, and Monstercat are playing poker in the background-

Neon: I... I...

Cavendish: <Now then!>

-he points a hoof at Neon-

<Since due to this mishap you're our Trainer now, for better and for worse, you're going to help us with this mess!>

Neon: ...Right, fair enough.

Dakota: <We were trying to go after Mobius with that Nero chick when you nabbed us. I suggest we get that back on track.>

Julius: Mobius?

-there is now a Latios-turned-Mimikyu inside the Ranger sign-

-the circumstances behind his appearance are fairly pedestrian, as he was sent out by the Trainer currently half-asleep on a nearby couch-

Ever: Don't mind me.

Muninn: <Uh, what's going on?>

Basket: <I'm testing the boundaries of the Cotton-Eye Joe phenomenon, to see if it's a gradual or binary discontinuity and what semiotically "counts".>

Virbank City Gym:

"I'll say, didn't even tell him to do that and he's the newest mon on my team. I hope he doesn't have a habit of doing that," Mark said in response to his magnemite's unexpected self-destruct. He recalls the fainted mon that's somehow intact, despite being scorched from the explosion. "You guys ever hear of a song called 'Action" by Powerman 5000? Their music rocks and it usually gets kinda heavy, so I thought I'd go with one of their lighter songs, ya know?"

The Song In Question
