ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-releases Weavile and Damian, who find seats of their own-

Ugh. Sitting on the couch, dealing with my fever and headache. I NEED TO STOP BEING SICK.

Oh you know, training my Pokemon, helping Tangent negotiate with a Nidoran tribe for the release of two of his Pokemon.

-looks up from my laptop, which I've totally been on this whole time-

I thought it was a Cubone tribe?

Latias: <Hi!>

- Meanwhile, back where I am -

Oh, that's interesting. I've pretty much just been working on a strategy for my next battle... Oh, and that's right, Wolf found Anom. Turns out someone had locked Anom inside a janitor's closest, and he was stuck in there for two days before managing to free himself. We're not sure who locked him in there or why.

Sorry, Silent has me thinking about Nidoran far too much Crewe.

-Eyebrow cock-

Really? That's strange. Maybe I could have Sirius search out the area later.

Yeah, I guess you could do that.

Just got back from a dentist appointment. So, whose turn to fight is it now?

You guys were mobbed by fans the other day, right? Maybe they locked Anom in a closet?

Gamer VS Red.

That could be possible Crewe, but why didn't they come back to collect him eventually?

post-and-go again. be back for a brief span in an hour or two, then back consistently an hour or so afterward

-Past-

Basket: <...I can't really grab anything either... So, Kat, is it fine for me to stay out?>

— Hmm... I guess this is a good time to release Rufus?

PSHI!

Rufus: <Ugh, we're going back for them? Can't we just... let the tribe deal with those kids?>

— I'm worried about Abby and Pankaja too, Rufus.

Rufus: <...okay, yeah, I do sorta hope the kids are okay. But it stings for perfectly good snark to fall dead like that.>

-Present time-

"It sure is taking a while for this match to start... Maybe we should have practiced flying earlier Nadia..."

<Nadia: "We could practice a little now... I mean it's not as if this guy's going to be able to hold up well against Red...">

<Shaun: "You never know Nadia... But... If you really want to fly off...">

"... Hmm... Would you feel comfortable flying alone with Vlad, Nadia?"

<Nadia: "Yeah, but I thought that he said that he wanted me to start flying long-distance...">

<Vlad: "Well... It's not quite long distance, but we could always try endurance flying... That way you could also get to still see the match...">

<Nadia: "Wait, really? Ho-">

-Realizes that Vlad is suggesting flying above the stadium-

<Nadia: "OH!">

<Vlad: "Exactly. And you'll be able to get a bird's-eye view of everything down below.">

<Nadia: "Okay, I'll do that, Vlad. ... Where can I take off?">

"I can take you two outside to the plaza, there should be plenty of room for you two to take off there..."

-Gets up and then pauses-

"Should I really be leaving you guys alone?"

<Shaun: "Don't worry Tracer, we'll be right here waiting for you.">

"... Okay..."

-Goes off with Vlad and Nadia to the plaza outside of the stadium-

-Yesterday-

<Kat: "Erm... How badly did you upset the locals yesterday, Basket? I mean, you don't exactly seem like you'd be easy to miss...">

What's this about Cubone?

Blitz: <So, you're one of those Latias eh? Sure could'a folled me with that fancy light bending trick ya've got going on there!>

Woolly: <Do you see what I mean about her yet?>

Blitz: <What was that now?>

Woolly: <Nothing Blitz! Nothing at all!>

Blitz: <...My, Woolly. You are a strange one.>

We rescued Abby and Pankaja from a Cubone tribe earlier, and we're detailing how it happened through posts.

-Past-

Come on guys, the tribe can't be too far from here.

Nudi: <At least this isn't as bad as the time we went up to the Artic Circle to research Spheal.>

-shrugs-

Maybe they went to get their friends and were too busy squeeing about how they had the Anom locked in a closet that they never went and actually got him?

-Yesterday-

-While walking, to Basket-

<Kat: "I mean if you didn't do something serious, I guess that we should be able to smooth things over after a bit... Otherwise it would really be helpful if you could tell me anything that you remember doing before you were chased off...">

Latias: (giggles) <Yeah, I guess I'm pretty good at that illusion thing!> (thinking) Hmm... Woolly is right, there is something somewhat familiar about her... But I can't figure out what it is...

I heard my name. Talking about how I got locked in the closet?

-still in her room, contemplating on when to leave-

I think I should go back to the gold conference before I head out.

I suppose that's possible. I still want to have Sirius check though.

-Notices Anom-

Yeah, DS just told me what happened to you.

-Yesterday-

Helios: <You went to the Arctic Circle?>

Let me tell you something Helios, Sinn cold has nothing on Arctic cold.

- I notice Anom -

Oh, hi there, Anom. How are you?

one more post before vanishing for an hour

Basket: <Well... we were a bit sudden in our entrance; basically just swooped in from the sky and landed without warning. Then Tangent and the kids got excited by the paintings and tree carvings and kinda rushed to look at them->

Rufus: <They were swarming the place like Unovian tourists, pretty much.>

-gets back to the group-

Hello, Anom, where have you been?

-Present day, present time-

"Alright, are you sure you two will be okay alone up there?"

<Nadia: "Yeah, I think so.">

<Vlad: "I think she should be fine Tracer, she's gotten a lot better at flying over the last week...">

"Give me some sort of signal if anything goes wrong okay?"

<Nadia: "I will.">

-Nadia and Vlad take off and begin circling above the stadium, as I return to the stands with my Pokemon-

<Lardna: "So where'd they fly off to?">

"Look up."

-Sees Nadia and Vlad circling in a rough cloverleaf pattern above the stadium-

<Lardna: "Ah.">

-Yesterday-

-After hearing Basket's explanation-

<Kat: "... I guess that should be fine. Just explain that you were genuinely curious in the things that they made and try not to do anything to make them more suspicious about you when we run into them.">

I feel fine now. I was really hungry and thirsty, and smelt bad to boot. But then I ate, drank, and cleaned myself up. I also had a minor head injury treated. I don't know how I got in there, but I had trouble getting out...
