ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Stormchaser, Quarters

Aaaaaand there's the throughline into dimensional fuckery. 'If there's an infinite multiverse, there must be one where my son survived' kind of deal.

-He sighs and takes more notes-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Gogie: -to Arvis- <Uh, just so we're clear, you want me to Bite you too?>

Hazard: <Uh, well, the currently-Mega-Evolved part, not necessarily the 'why I Mega Evolve into a Noivern' part...>

He then hears Tae invite him in.

Hazard: <Heh, sure, yeah. I didn't get too good a look at this place anyway...>

He steps inside and sees Silas go off.

<What was that beeping about?>

 Stormchaser, past 

-To Jared-

I understand that, but I don't remember having anyone on our payroll, the J-Team is a volunteer outfit.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Homer, confused': Say what now?

Freyja: <He said it's volunteer only.>

Homer: Yeah I heard that, but why am I only hearing it now? Why doesn't anybody tell me these things?

Anubis: <Come to think of it, who even hired us?>

Homer: I... who the hell hired us?

-"Suddenly, Mokuba and Morrigan zoom past in a laundry cart."-

Mokuba: <TO VICTORY!>

Mor, crying: <to fast!>

Let's all have fun

-Paula raises her eyebrows.-

Paula: That ambitious, eh? Impressive.

Tae shrugs, <He's just been making something, that was the timer.>

Silas steps out and waves with the left arm, "Alright there we go."

<Feel anything?>

"Nothing. Completely dead to the world, it'll do for now, was getting tired of having only one hand."

<So, what now?>

"Hazard's free to stay, me? I've got some stuff to get ready for."

Jimmy walks over with the sword, "Well, whatever this is for, it might help," he says approaching Channah.

Bisco flinched! She can't move!

Nana: Dammit dammit dammit dammit

"That far, huh? It's—"

TWO TO THE ONE FROM THE ONE TO THE THREE

"Ah, that's gotta be my alarm," Nana mused, hardly audible, and nonchalantly clicked it off from her phone.

Trope-tan is here! ➯ my pronouns are ze/hir

Hazard: <Huh, so prosthetic, huh? That's good, at least.>

-to Tae- <Well, I'll probably go tell dad I crashed here, but uh... what kind of stuff you do around here for fun?>

Siobhan and Vi are in a room, a mostly-assembled 1:20-scale HGN-722 standing in one corner.

Vi is currently running on coffee and spite and attempting to debug code.

Siobhan is asleep, leaning on her shoulder.

Vi seems pretty okay with this.

Siobhan's phone beeps, and she jolts awake. She stares at Vi.

Siobhan: "Um..."

Vi: "It's fine."

Siobhan: "But -"

Vi: "It's fine. If it bothered me, I would have moved you."

Siobhan: "That's... comforting?"

There's a silence, but it's pretty obvious Siobhan wants to say something.

Vi: "If there's something you want to say, say it."

Siobhan: "Um... Arceus Um. Iunderstandifthisisabitforwardbutwillyougooutwithme."

Vi: "Yeah."

Siobhan starts to say something before stoping. "Wait, yes?"

Vi: "I said yeah. So yes. I enjoy your company and you quite obviously have a thing for me, so, we might as well start with a date and see where it goes. Where?"

Siobhan looks at her phone and sees the text from Silas. "Uh... how about the Moon?"

Vi: -slowly takes off her glasses.- "Excuse me what?"

Lumiose

“So that’s three debts,” Colt counted.

<Four,> Caliburn corrected, having lingered in the backpack.

Sunny gave Colt a buzzing phone back, showing the message Silas sent. In experimentation, Colt focused on the Sun Stone he had decided to hide under his jacket.

Talbain emerged, hollered a quick goodbye, and ran to the Oblivion Wing. Jacket, headphones and backpack all rested on his back comfortably, Sun Stone hidden away safely.

Accumula

“Oh god oh god oh god,” Micah stammered upon removing the scarf. “That was terrifying,”

“So you became a Pokémon?” Harriet mused. “Wonder what it was like?”

Within 10 seconds a Deerling was looking at Micah. She removed the scarf with her teeth and recovered her breath.

A response came way too quickly, at least given it was Colton.

-Rose instinctively recoils from the sudden blast of sound-

Rose: ...Ow.

Elizabeth: "Starters?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

"Something startle you?" Nana asks, unbelievably oblivious.

Trope-tan is here! ➯ my pronouns are ze/hir

Tae shrugged, <We play video games, plan stuff, we've been running a scifi epic game for tabletop, Silas is actually a decent DM, turns out the character we were so certain of being on our side seeing as they're a janitor is actually a supervillain in disguise, who knew?>

Silas smiled at the response and sent back a text.

Hazard: <...Huh.>

<Don't think I ever tried video games, but what's the... tabletop thing? Some sort of storytelling?>

Vi: -putting her glasses back on.- "Arceus I can't see anything without glasses. So by 'The Moon,' is that just a very interestingly themed club or..."

Siobhan: "No, no, the Moon. Luna. Selene. That big rock in the sky."

Vi: "What... How?"

Siobhan: "I'm an astronaut!"

Vi: "... Siobhan... Mitsurugi. Oh."

Vi.exe has stopped working, please reboot.

Oblivion Wing

Talbain focused on the Sun Stone again.

Colt entered the airship, breathing still with excitement.

After he sent the message, he sat down somewhere and drew his [3DS], needing to practice some Smash Bros.

“Hey, guys, when the craft launches, stay in your Pokéballs, or in vacuum-sealed areas once in space?” He pleaded. “You’ll die otherwise,” he warned. “I’m not joking.”

Holy crap, the moon! He squeed as he started up a round, [Luigi] vs. a random max level CPU. I mean, it’s not Mars, but hey!

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

-Shaun, Jessica, Jamie, and Ace are on board -

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Silas sees Colton enter, and then waves, "Hey. Not yet, we gotta get you and your team spacesuits before we begin our moon trip."

Silas then responds to Siobhan.

At the sudden appearance of Shaun and his team, Silas almost trips over his own two feet in shock, "Whoa! Where do you guys come from?"

<Enh kinda, it's group storytelling, you make a character, follow the rules, and mess with the DM's plot.>

Silas shot Tae a look, Tae just grinned smugly, <Derailing the plot-train is a lot of fun, though Silas has learned to work with it.>

Hazard snickers in response.

Hazard: <Sounds like that could be fun.>

<Hrm... would there be room for me if I wanted to try it out?>

Within a short while, The Oblivion Wing had flown over to the stormchaser and landed, Silas sending out a text to let Siobhan know that they were there.

Jessica: "We were waiting offscreen!"

Beat

-Shaun slowly looks at her and raises an eyebrow with a "WTF" expression on his face.-

Ace: <I just flew us here.>

Channah: -to Jimmy- <Youdonotwishtousethisyourself?Heh.Verywell.> -takes the sword from Jimmy, abruptly turning to pierce the Wynaut doll with it-

-it starts to bleed black blood and gradually fade away-

-another lock breaks on the door-

Channah: <Isupposethatworks.Anythingelsewecanuse?>

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Siobhan leads a mostly cognizant Vi out of the Stormchaser, waving to Silas.
