ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Stormchaser

"Who's talking? Y'all are really nuts," Nana grouches, shaking her head. "Is this some kinda underground league or what?"

Ephemera: -Y!-

-she purrs softly, scoops up Fuego, and heads off to locate ice cream-

Amanita: Oh Ho-oh that sounded super concerning...

-she opens the door and enters the bedroom-

Neon: Sure!

-to Cavendish and Dakota-

~Keep an eye on them.~

Cavendish and Dakota: Roger.

-they head for the Stormchaser-

???: "Always a shame when property like this falls into neglect..."

-He turns at the sound of Ramona's approach, and blinks at her faceplant. Even if it still looks like his eyes are closed-

"Are you okay?"

-Ignoring the eccentric mons for the moment, he steps over and reaches down to help her up-

???: -Glances to the roof for a second as if looking for the right word- "Um... Maybe, 'adventerers' "

Po Town

(Should Paula head anywhere near the Shady House, she should notice a Team Skull medallion come sailing through one of the windows and land with a loud thunk on the ground below. The windows are all at least partially broken anyway, so no glass is shattered, but still.)

Elizabeth: "What do you mean?"

Jessica: "Yeah, Jane was one of the Founders."

-She looks at Nana, ears cocked and tails flicking in annoyance.-

Jessica: "Okay, first of all, we are literally above ground. Second, you're from Alola, right?"

Lumiose City

-The girl cheerfully follows, as does the Noctowl. After a moment the Noctowl ticks like a metronome and the girl whistles along-

-It sounds like Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Curious-

The Room

Oh. ... OH.

Crap. Guys uh...

Jared: We're adventurers, yeah.

Salvador: <Of CHAOS!> -headbangs-

-He waves to Neon, who approaches with the girl-

Neon: You guys find a newbie too?

Julius: L-loptyr... He took over my body... Controlled everything I said and did...

"You know what I meant," Nana huffs, pouting. "Yeah, I'm from Melemele..."

-Paula watches the medallion sail through the air.-

Paula: ...Well then. Wonder who lost that game of Mario Kart.

-She heads into the Shady House to see what's going on.-

-Channah is standing at the foot of the bed over a crying young boy on the carpet, who's cradling his unnaturally-bent arm and keening in pain. Her eyes are glowing purple and white, and she looks up from the boy to tilt her head to the side in calm greeting-

Channah: -dryly- <Helloeveryone.MynameisHaleandIwillbeyourskippertodayonthejunglecruise.>

 Room 

So my theory was correct.

Hey Hale.

-To the others-

This is Hale, Channah's Espeon who got murdered by the guy nursing his arm and has been taking residence inside her head to this day.

-scoop-

Fuego: <whaaaaaa!>

-scoop-

Fuego: <Aaaaaah~>

-the Marowak and Meowsic now have ice cream cones, apparently-

Shady House

(Paula will enter to see Clarice at the foot of the stairs. The other interim Skull boss looks even more bedraggled than the last time Paula saw her, with heavy shadows under her bleary eyes and an empty bottle of cheap lager dangling from her hand, yet she's also grinning like a maniac. She is also conspicuously missing her Team Skull medallion. When she speaks, it's in a slurred happy-drunken drawl.)

Clarice: Oh... hey, Paula. Shame ya missed my leaving party!

Elizabeth: "Lunala. I can't imagine how horrible that must have been..."

"..."

Elizabeth: "Di-"

-The waitress chooses this exact moment to walk up.-

-Said waitress is waiting a maid outfit and a neko ear headband.-

Waitress: "Hey! I'm Cocoa! Do you two know what you want?"

-Liz looks at Julius.-

Elizabeth: "Sweet or bitter?"

Jessica: "Well, we stopped a Glitch from destroying Konikoni, helped rescue a Tapu from an insane Team that wants to commit genocide against Legendaries, and we stopped several rampaging Ultra Beasts, including a Guzzlord."

-She pauses.-

Jessica: "Do we sound like an underground fighting ring? Because the ones I've gone too didn't do any shit like that."

-"Homer turns his laptop off and blows on it."-

Homer: Well, that went better then last time. I should probably tell them that they updated their security... Who do I tell that to?

Anubis: <Do we even know who our boss is?>

Freyja: <I'll be your boss Anny <3>

Anubis, shuddering: <~creepy~>

-"Homer let's out a sigh and puts on his jacket."-

Homer: Let's ask around, maybe somebody will give us a straight answer this time.

-"Ramona looks up and her eyes twinkle at the green haired man."-

Ramona, hopping up, super happy: Oh ma gosh, you're here, you're here, I can't believe you showed up... Who are you? :3

The Room

Nice save there Hale. So anyway the kid's the weird child ghost clone of the actual killer who we saw out on the beach. Now given that we're lacking the need to go Hospital I'm trying to figure out how to speed through to the actual actual boss fight...

Stormchaser

-The girl waves and nudges her Noctowl to do the same-

-Paula just sorta raises an eyebrow at Clarice, until she says why she's so sloshed. Paula pouts in faux disappointment.-

Paula: Oh, shit, I missed it? Damn, I was looking forward to it, too. Moving on to some other band of nobodies to kick around?

Jared: We could go on and on!

-he waves at the girl-

-Julius snaps out of it-

Julius: ...Sweet please. And a meaty snack for my Tyrunt.

Amanita: ...Hi, Hale. Is Channah okay? Are you okay? ...Aside from being dead, I guess.

Ephemera: -Meowth Gulpin Vanillite?-

-she shrugs, and floats the cone in front of her, taking periodic bites-

Stormchaser

"Uh... you stopped a what from destroying Konikoni and a rampaging what now??" Nana.exe has encountered a fatal error and needs to restart. "Cousin, I just wanna fight some damn trainers, I dunno what the hell you're saying... Thanks, I guess...???"

Shady House

Clarice: Ha ha ha... naaaaah, I'm just so fuckin' bored here. Couldn't take trying to make something of these assholes anymore, so I'm gonna bail, y'know? Find someone worth hanging with.

(She holds up the lager bottle.)

Clarice: With better booze, hopefully. Dunno how the Grunts can stand this shit. Tastes like alcoholic piss.

Mondo: <If you wanna battle, I guarantee there are more trainers and pokemon here than you can handle at once>

-The Clefable grins, and the young woman nods in response despite an apparent lack of anywhere to store pokeballs-

???: "Mondo says... That sounds fun"

???: "Well, yes, I am"

-The man gives an awkward chuckle at his total loss of what's going on here-

Kazuma: "I'm Kazuma Sakamoto. And you are...?"

Stormchaser

"Yeah, yeah, that sounds... okay, seriously, who keeps talking? Am I being pranked? Is this like that one show?" Nana's eyeing him suspiciously.
