ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Julius walks out of the video game room, slightly dazed. King Of Town follows-

Daydre sighs and pulls out a grenade. Tabitha didn't exactly put her gun away so she just points it at the advancing Rabbids.

-Elizabeth turns and walks right into Julius.-

Elizabeth: "Shit, I'm sorry..."

Oh no he's hot.

Route 4

Alright, let's form up and get going.

-He shrugs and preps to head to cover-

Focus down cyclone and then flank?

Julius: Oof! Hello! Have you tried video games today? You're awfully pretty...

King Of Town: <He's still on a buzz!>

-The cyclone shrieks-

-The Rabbids block incoming attacks with their sheilds and fire... Honey? Very sticky honey?-

-Elizabeth blushes and tries not to faint.-

-You don't get complimented much when you spend most of your life either at home or at work.-

Elizabeth: "I've tried video games a lot. I was just about to play some Smash Brothers with some of my te-friends. Speaking of which, where'd Lyra go?"

~Fllliiiirrrrtttt.~

''~To be clear, she's telling you to flirt, not calling you one.'~'

''~Where the fuck did you go?~"

Inform milady that we shalt not enjoy several rounds of Smash Bretheren with her until she successfully courts this...rather attractive...sire.

~I can hear you. And you're all assholes.~

-Elizabeth recieves the mental image of Lyra flipping her off and grinning.-

Camilla: <I'm afraid I don't know.>

Julius: Smash... Bros?

Elizabeth: "Yeah, it's this fighting game with [Nintendo] characters."

Stormchaser

With all the warning of a shotgun blast, Colt, Lucario, and Roy were close to the mention of Smash Bros.

“Melee?” Colt asked.

“4?” Roy and Lucario asked in tandem with Colt, the former then biting his tongue.

Julius: Sounds nice, I guess I'll join you guys for-

-there is the sound of the video game room losing power, to the groans of Rod and Laura inside-

"Is that..?!" Daydre cuts herself short and starts dodging.

I'm not in the mood to get this costume dry cleaned, no thank you!

She tries to roll a grenade behind a shield Rabbid.

Lilith: <.. Ah, I see. Thank you anyway.>

-Elizabeth frowns.-

~That's suspcious.~

~Hey Liz, I wanna see something. Pull out your 3DS.~

-Elizabeth doesn't even try to question how they can see her.-

Elizabeth: "Here, look..."

-She pulls out a 3DS, already loaded to Smash Bros., and navigates to the "Smash" section...-

Stormchaser

The power left.

Two flashes vanished into Colt’s backpack.

Mindscape

“Dammit, we need practice!” Otaku and Strategist cursed.

“I wanted to see this game in action; try it out!” Talbain complained.

“Did you really think that showing that Roy was in a game would possibly expose Lucius by proxy?!” Smartass griped.

Reality

Colton facepalmed.

Every setup was promptly ripped from the T Vs, controllers flying into walls and then being struck by tables, some electronics likely being crushed, but nothing of major consequence was destroyed.

“Oh hey, you have smash 3DS too?” He drew his system. “One-vee-one me.”

-The group can see Robin running up in the background to grab Julius-

-Lyra and Elizabeth connect the dots.-

~FUCK HOW DO I PUT THIS AWAY WITHOUT MAKING HIM SUSPCIOUS~

~I HAVE AN IDEA BUT YOU WON'T LIKE IT~

~LYRA I AM NOT-~

~YOU THINK HE'S HOT ASK HIM OUT~

~I THINK EVERYONE'S HOT~

~THEN THIS SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM~

-Elizabeth pockets the 3DS and looks at Julius.-

Elizabeth: "Heydoyouhaveanyplanstonightbecause Iwanttoknowifyouwanttogooutforcoffee"

-She takes a deep breath.-

Camilla: <Of course, dear Lilith.>

-Robin freezes in place-

Julius: Oh? Sure, I've had enough video games for tonight anyway. What's coffee?

-Robin grins, gives a thumbs up, and vanishes before Julius can notice-

-King Of Town stares after him, confused-

Lilith: <It was nice seeing you all, but I think I'll take my leave now. The person I'm travelling with must be wondering where I am right now.>

Lilith waves goodbye with her tail and slithers away.

Stormchaser

A flash came out of Colt’s backpack. Roy grabbed the Orange Scarf.

And then Robin left. Wordlessly, Roy returned. “Coffee?” Colt asked as he closed the 3DS. “I...” he licked the inside of his mouth. “I could go for a cup,” he confessed. “Five cream, two sugar, white chocolate, like always,” he chimed.

Roy and Caliburn materialized, the both of them human. “Let’s try it,” they chorused.

aG: Was that pronounced Sam or Sam..?

aG: Anyways, I can't help but feel like Hyper Bean or Frenzy Plant are the sort of move you'd develop if you were to arrive at the principles of a Z-Move without the benefit of Z-Crystals or a Sparkling Stone.

PEFE!Every: Was she winking at me?

Rotary: <Yes.>

PEFE!Every: ...Why?

Rotary: <Far be it from me to attempt to decode human eye language.>

PEFE!Every: ...You know, that's fair.

cA: oh wow! that's a really good point, thank you!

cA: maybe i'll see if sam can get her hands on a z-ring! it might be awkward though after we tried to kill the tapu...

cA: but i'll do my best, and i'll get back to you with the findings! thank you so much!

~Don't fuck this up. Have fun.~

~Wait where are you going?~

-A Sylveon!Mimikyu skitters down the hall.-

Oberon: <O Sorceress! Thou hast forgotten me!>

-He continues to skitter away.-

Elizabeth: "..."

-She gives Colt a hard look.-

~I got you, bro.~

-Lyra teleports behind Colton and taps him on the shoulder, gesturing away from Julius and Elizabeth.-

''~Thank you.~"

-Elizabeth brushes some hair out of her face, hand sticking out of her hoodie paw.-

Elizabeth: "It's a drink made from beans. There's some cafés in town..."

Colt didn’t know why he was being looked at like that. And then he felt a sensation on his shoulder.

Colt looked at Lyra, Caliburn and Roy eventually following their trainer’s gaze.

“Not when Julius is around?” Roy quietly asked.

“What’s up?” Colt asked the Kadabra.

"Do you think they'll make it folks? Hazard has been doing well and Gogie's already half way there! But if they screw up again they risk tossing Hazard into a icy cold abyss of water below!"

The crowd went wild, Yunwa should've really started to notice that the crowd themselves didn't seem to exist.

Where was the cheering coming from?

Virbank City Pokemon Center Entrance:

"...You got a problem with how I treat my pokemon? Cause yeah, I don't treat them like your average trainer does, but I don't mistreat or abuse them," Mark replied rather defensively before pausing a moment to try and keep the mood calm again. He then asked, "Have you ever been in a fight? I mean you're a trainer so you've obviously been in quite a few pokemon battles, but that's not what I'm talking about. Have you ever been in an actual fight? Because I have, several times when I was younger..."

Trust Games

Yunwa notices there doesn't seem to be more of a crowd.

Hey, that means they can eat more chairs without eating anyone and getting put in that bad place.

They start eating more while watching.

Meanwhile, Gogie, after some more directing from Hazard, makes it to the center with only some slight bumps into walls.

Hazard: <Yes! You're almost there! Now press the button!>

A button appears in front of Gogie with the label 'Dunk the 'Zard' on it.

Gogie: <This one?>

Hazard: <Agh! Nonononono! Left and then forward.>

Gogie was about to press it, but stops. He follows Hazard's instructions and makes it to the right button after nearly bumping into the wall again.

Gogie: <This one?>

Hazard: <Yeah! Press it!>

Gogie brings his paw down on the button.

Virbank

Hajime: "Eh, true, yeah, you don't let them battle until they fainted, but..."

And then Mark asks a question.

"Uh... not really, no. I mean, I got bullied, but never, like a fight. I mean... do I look like someone who could throw a punch?"
