ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Luxray is brought down to the yellow-

Luxray, use Crunch!

-Luxray finds a weak spot on Persian's body using his X-ray vision and chomps down-

Well, that's fine with me Straw. Oh, there appears to be a queue.

-Me and Lake join the queue, which thankfully isn't too long. Just after joining, some sort of Pokémon wearing a very bad Stoutland disguise joins in behind me, something that we do not fail to notice.-

...

Stoutland?: <...UM. I AM STOUTLAND. WOOF.>

Entei, we know it's you.

Stoutland?: <...WOOF...>

-stares at "Stoutland"-

That...does not look like a Stoutland.

-Looks at the Stoutland-

I think it's Entei in disguise. The Entei from earlier sounded like that.

Entei? Why would Entei disguise itself as a Stoutland?

(Meanwhile, I get a couple of cameras up the stands, in a barely occupied place)

— This is the battle of the century! I have to pay attention to the techniques Nidoqueen will use!

(Back at the Arena)

Persian — MEOOWWWWWWWWWWW~!

(As soon as Luxray lets go, Persian attempts to respond with an Aerial Ace aimed at the Luxray's paw without a command, but the man speaks earlier)

??? — It's the end, Persian! Use your Last Resort!

(Persian stretches both paws's claws claws and lunges directly at the Luxray's neck)

Persian — <You evil...! How dare! Instead of a cut, you'll have A HOLE FROM WHICH YOUR HEART WILL BE REAPT!>

Stoutland?: -Ahem- I AM A STOUTLAND. A TALKING STOUTLAND. WOULD YOU LIKE STOUTLAND TO BARK AT THE NEIGHBOURS FOR YOU? WOOF.

Lake: <Entei, why are you wearing that disguise again?>

Stoutland?: STOUTLAND DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE FERALIGATR IS TALKING ABOUT. STOUTLAND IS MAN'S BEST FRIEND. -To Every.- STOUTLAND WILL FETCH A STICK FOR YOU IF YOU THROW IT AND WILL NOT COMPLAIN.

-I facepalm, the lean in close to whisper to Every.-

Don't worry. Not all of the legendary Pokémon are like this.

- Watching Tagg's battle -

This seems like it will definetly be a tough fight, but I'm pretty sure Tagg can win. Don't you agree, HotStuff?

HotStuff: (looking at Anom) <... Why is he covering up his hair and beard like that?>

Oh, you really don't have to worry about that, HotStuff.

HotStuff: (looks over at me, and then shrugs her shoulders slightly) <If you say so.> (turns her attention to the battle)

-Luxray lets out an involuntary Thunderbolt as he faints, zapping Persian-

Luxray!

_Okay...

(To Stoutland) I'm sorry, I have no sticks at the moment.

-Shifts uncomfortably-

-immediately recognizes Entei and looks around for Tagg to hide behind, before realizing he's in the middle of a battle and hides behind Lake instead, Ian rolling his eyes-

Stoutland?: OH. THAT IS A SHAME. WOULD YOU LIKE TO PET STOUTLAND ON THE HEAD AND TELL STOUTLAND THAT HE IS A GOOD BOY? STOUTLAND WILL NOT BITE.

Entei, what you doing? This is ridiculous!

Stoutland?: ...OKAY. ENTEI WILL- OOPS! <ENTEI WILL STOP NOW. LUKE, WOULD YOU MIND BUYING THE FLAME CHARGE TM FOR ENTEI?>

Um...No, that's fine.

Entei: <THANKS. ENTEI APPRECIATES IT!>

-is still mildly shocked by the presence of Entei- You're from Oblivia, right?

-is still hiding behind Lake, Ian sitting down and staring up at Entei, head tilted-

??? — Good job, Persian, now get back here.

Persian — <...> (doesn't respond)

??? — ...? Persian! Get back here!

(Persian walks slowly a couple of steps and then faints, his legs moving involuntarily)

??? — Hmmmph... A stronger attack than I though... but fine. (Recalls Persian) Let's change how things work around here. Come on, kid, make your move.

(Meanwhile out of the stadium, inside a Van in Black)

Random Technician #1 — "Is the device well placed?"

Random Technician #2 — "Yeah, and it's transmitting and ready to activate. We can even get battle readings of the guy's team from here."

Random Technician #1 — "Perfect... We must assure Giovanni's success For Great Injustice."

(the van's back door opens and the woman from before comes in)

Agent D — "Things are going all right?"

Random Technician #2 — "Yes leader. If the data sheets we hacked from PEFE are genuine, we should be able to activate the device once that Pokémon comes out."

Agent D — "Perfect!" (smirks, offers Technician #2 a kiss)

That was a killing strike, I know it. Thank Arceus for Luxray's mane.

Go Muddy!

-Muddy appears-

Entei: -Ahem.- YES! I AM OBLIVIA'S ENTEI! ENTEI IS GLAD SOMEONE KNOWS WHO I AM! USALLY WHENVER ANYONE THINKS OF ENTEI, THEY THINK OF JOHTO ENTEI AND NOT OBLIVIA ENTEI. THAT ALWAYS MAKES ENTEI SAD.

-While Entei is busy talking to Every, I move up and buy the T Ms I came here for.-

Lake: <Oh, you're scared of legendaries, aren't you, Crewe? Don't worry, I won't let him get you.>

-decides not to mention that I only know because Anom told me-

So what's Oblivia like? I've only ever heard of it.

Thanks Lake, I really appreciate it.

-waits for Luke to get his T Ms, then gets a few and slip them into my backpack to teach to my team later, remaining behind Lake-

Entei: OBLIVIA IS VERY NICE! IT IS ALSO VERY WARM, JUST HOW ENTEI LIKES IT! ALTHOUGH...ENTEI DOES NOT LIKE HOW OUT OF THE WAY IT IS. IT MAKES ME AND MY SIBLINGS FEEL LIKE WE'RE SORT OF OUT OF THE WAY AND...UNIMPORTANT.

-Entei lowers his head, sadly.-

Entei: ENTEI DOESN'T LIKE THAT.

- Looks over at Anom -

... So, Anom? Do you think Tagg will win this battle?

-feels bad for Entei- Aw....that's not fair.

-gets a Thunderbolt TM, along with a few extras just in case-

I gotta go. You can pretend I'm still around, or that I went back to the stands or something.

Just took a walk around a lake. What'd I miss?

Probably. Giovanni is a punk.
