ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-At that point, Jane walks into wherever DS, Wolf and Tagg currently are and notices them. She decides that now would be a good time to say her goodbyes before she heads off to the airport tomorrow. She walks up to them-

Hey guys. Um... What's up?

-Notices Jane-

Saved by the bell.

Hi Jane.

Hey, Jane. I'm just waiting for my battle to start up again tonight. I'm not sure what DS and Tagg are talking about, though.

Oh...

I won't be there for your battle, Wolf. I'm sorry.

- Looks over at Jane -

Oh, hi there, Jane. Nice to see you.

(thinking) ... Should I?

Hi, DS... Sorry I haven't been able to uh, see any of your battles. I've hardly seen anyone's battles but my own, actually. I've been making preparations to get back home...

You're going home?

Yeah, she was telling me so last night Wolf.

I know. Because of your mother's Pokémon. Fool and Latias told me.

Tell me, Jane. Why is it that you don't want to talk to me, but you're perfectly comfortable talking to Latias, who you've barely even interacted with before, and telling her how you feel about me?

(thinking) Is this really the time for this?

... Well, I guess it's now or never...

Yeah. You see... you know how Gallade is my Spirit Pokemon? Well... My mother's Camerupt, June, is her Spirit Pokemon and... June's gotten very sick, and old, and... she's dying.

-eyes well up a bit-

I got the news two weeks ago, but... I couldn't get a flight that I could afford until... until this Tuesday, so. I'm worried that by the time I get there, I'll have been too late.

-to DS-

You think I was comfortable talking to Latias? I wasn't comfortable giving out this information to anyone.

Oh, I see. But still...

(thinking) Can't believe I'm actually doing this...

... Well, I've got to get it out of my system. I need to.

-is feeling rather uncomfortable-

DS, I haven't just been avoiding you. Have you seen me at all these past few weeks? Has anyone seen me?

I've been busy as a bee trying to get back home to my dying family member this entire time. But if the issue you're talking about goes further back than that, then please, let me know.

-looks at the others in the room-

But not here. I don't know about you, but I don't like talking about personal things with and audience.

-I'm currently by myself. Well, not completely. I have Lake with me, as usual. But we're not doing anything at the moment.-

Oh man, I'm so bored...

-I clutch my head in my hands.-

I don't know what to do Lake.

Lake: <You've got no ideas at all?>

Nope.

Lake: <Well that's no good.>

Also, for some reason, I feel really tired and I don't feel like doing anything hard like training or battling or whatever. Urk...

-I lean up against Lake.-

Lake: <You're obviously not having a very good day.>

Tell me about it...

- Nods -

Yes, I understand that.

- Looks around -

(thinking) Where should we do this?

There's an unlocked room right there. -points to a door that she doesn't realize leads to a completely empty room-

How about we try it there?

-Is starting to feel rather uncomfortable himself-

... Yeah, I guess that'll work.

-very deliberately- Tagg, are you hungry? I'm hungry.

Yeah, I'm pretty hungry right now too, Wolf.

Oh, well, I'm sorry I asked. I'm sorry for holding on a conversation that is meant to be private in public because someone thought that it was a good idea to ask that question when there is an audience. Okay? Okay!?

-fumes for a bit, then briskly walks to the unlocked door and enters it-

-watches Jane leave-

-to DS- Could you by any chance mention to her that we're just trying to let you have some privacy?

- Looks over at Wolf -

Yeah, I understand that.

- I follow Jane -

Okay, so maybe that wasn't such a good idea, but calm down!

-Jane is slouching on the ground-

Sorry. I'm just kinda... reactive, right now. But seriously DS, if the problem you're talking about extends farther back than a few weeks, then please, let me know the problem.

-Looks over at Wolf-

Okay, what do we do now?
