ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-September is flying dangerously low and almost hits a building-

Wahh!

...Everything ok?

September: <I'm tired...I've been flying all day...> -Nearly hits another buiilding-

Whoa!

September: <Sorry!>

-Checks pokegear- Ok, I think we're almost there. Just try to land as carefully as possible.

September: <Got it.> -tries to land, but goes a little too fast-

Careful,careful-

-September lands slowly and gently puts the crate down-

Phew. Ok. -knocks on door of house.-

Random lady: -opens door and sees crate- Oh, my Giant vase is here!

.....Giant vase?

RG: -nods and tries to pull crate into her house - Yeah. Thanks a lot!

.......

-shrugs, then walks away.-

-Falls asleep-

-Is unable to locate Star, and heads up to my hotel room for the night-

-Has been training for quite some time by himself-

-turns off laptop and crawls into bed-

-a few minutes after Mezzo has fallen asleep, Sunny crawls onto her forehead and falls asleep as well-

I decided that I would go with Eelektross, Nudi, Gaia, Audilith, Cobalt, and Roc.

-Is walking to his room-

-Has gone back to room with team-

-Is holding a teleconference with some PEFE interns on the mysteries of the Substitute technique, sleepy due to timezone differences; Maekrite sleeps under the desk, Xatu and Dintel are eating and Algira is still on the move-

Algira (flying around somewhere) — <Tee heeee....>

Sleep...

-Goes to his room to sleep-

Night.

-Is thinking about the time Oakley swallowed an Everstone-

- Wakes up early the next morning... discovering that I'm still outside with my Pokémon and that I somehow fell asleep without realizing -

Huh? What!?

Velvet: <Hey there, DS. Slept well?>

- Velvet is the only one awake this early, my other Pokémon are still asleep -

I guess so...

- Checks my Poketch -

... I hope Wolf isn't too worried about me since I didn't return to the hotel room last night...

Velvet: <Oh, I'm sure he's fine.>

-is crouched on a tree branch overlooking my team's tree, where Ian, Electivire, and Anakin are sitting. Masque is beside me, looking uncomfortable and irritated-

Masque: <I thought the point of coming here was to talk to them?>

Shh. I'm going to, I just need to mentally prepare.

Masque: <Why do you have to mentally prepare in a tree? And why am I up here with you?>

I like trees. And you can go find Rampage or whatever if you want.

Masque: <If I leave, you'll never get out of this tree. So go down there before I force you to.>

-Why of all the Pokemon I could have hiding in a tree with me, does it have to be an irritated Alakazam?-

Fine.

-drops down out of the tree and looks up-

Coming?

Masque: <No, I'm going to find Rampage.> -teleports away-

Anakin: -glances over- <Crewe?> -nudges Electivire-

-she also looks up, then gets to her feet-

- Has spent some more time with my Pokémon, then gone back to the hotel room for a moment to get my laptop and has now headed back outside to where my Pokémon are -

Jayna: <So, DS... I guess you're going to be sending me back to Pokémon storage along with Snow, Inferno and Blitz?>

Yes, Jayna.

Jayna: <So, um... Guess that means we won't be seeing eachother in while...>

... You want a few minutes so you can find and say good-bye to Stratus?

Jayna: <... How'd you know?>

- Smiles -

I'm your trainer, I know these things.

Jayna: <...> (smiles back) <Thanks, DS.>

- Jayna flies off to look for Stratus, while Velvet is talking with Snow White, Inferno and Blitz in the background -

-Meanwhile, my Pokémon have decided to do some training for our upcoming fight against Red. I myself am currently watching Flare do some exercises.-

Shouldn't you be taking it easy, Flare? You did give birth a few days ago.

Flare: -Is doing push-ups.- <Ah, you see Luke, unlike when humans give birth, us Pokémon don't lie around in bed for weeks to recover. Oh no, when we give birth, we have to get moving again ASAP. 'cause if we don't, we're just asking for a bigger and stronger Pokémon to come along and eat us. And even though we're in no danger of that happening, I don't really wanna' sit around and do nothing. You understand?>

Yeah, I understand. Just don't over do it, 'kay?

Flare: <'Kay.>

-Nearby...-

Woolly: <All right, Stratus! I'm gonna' try and zap 'ya with Thunderwave, and you've got to dodge it by flying. Okay?>

Stratus: -Nods.- <Okay!>

Woolly: <Ready? GO!>

-Stratus flaps his wings and takes to the air as Woolly fires a Thunderwave at him.-

Stratus: <WHOA!> -Dodges.- <YIKES!> -Dodges again.- <EEK!> -And again.-

Unite: <Yeah! That's it buddy, keep it up! Better keep the Cheri berries ready...>

-Electivire starts running towards me. I brace myself to get zapped by her tails, and am rather shocked when she hugs me instead-

Electivire: <Crewe... You're safe... I was so worried.

-looks up at her-

You're... I... I thought you'd be mad at me.

Electivire: <Mad? Irritated, yes, and astonished at your stupidity, but I was just worried you'd get hurt. What were you thinking, leaving without any Pokemon? What if something attacked you?>

There are people that don't have Pokemon, you know. They don't get mauled every time they leave home.

-Anakin walks over, Ian on his shoulder-

Anakin: <Sure, but after traveling with this group for so long, their ability to draw any and every dangerous being in the area towards themselves might have rubbed off on you.>

Ian: <Did you really expect us to be mad?>

Um... yes.

Electivire: <Are you mad at Dana for running off?>

Dana! She's here, right?

-Electivire nods and reaches a hand up towards the lowest tree branch. Dana hops off the branch onto it, and Electivire hands her to me. I hug her, cradling her against my chest-

Dana! You're okay! I thought something terrible might have happened!

Dana: <I fell out of your backpack and couldn't find you. I thought you went home, but I didn't know the way. Then I found these guys, and they knew you! They told me you'd come, so I stayed here.>

-gently scratches her ears, then looks up to see Electivire giving me a knowing look-

Oh, come on! I'm not nearly as helpless as a baby Rattata!

- Jayna eventually finds the area where Luke's Pokémon are training, and decides to just quietly watch Stratus' training in the background for now -

Woolly: <Yeah! That's it Stratus! Keep it up!>

Stratus: <Oh!> -Dodges.- <Yes! I'm doing it!> -Dodges again.- <I'm really doing it! I'm->

-Distracted by his sudden euphoria, the Dragonite ends up getting hit by Woolly's Thunderwave.-

Stratus: <ERK!!!>

-Stratus' wings seize up and he ends up dropping to the floor, landing hard on his back.-

Stratus: <...Ow.>

Woolly: <Uh-oh. MEDIC!>

-Unite flies over to the downed Dragonite and drops a Cheri berry in his mouth.-

Unite: <There 'ya go buddy. Need help chewing?>

Stratus: <Nah...I can do it...>

- Jayna is still watching -

-Stratus swallows the Cheri berry, the Paralysis already wearing off enough for the Dragonite to sit up.-

Woolly: <You did great there, Stratus! You're getting real good at dodging stuff!>

Unite: <You still seem a bit wobbly in the air though. Seems as if you need a bit more practice there.>

Stratus: -Nods.- <I know. I really should ask Jayna if she'll practice with me a bit more.>

Unite: -Manages to spot Jayna with his sharp vision.- <Well, she's right over there behind you of you want to ask her now.> -Points with one of his talons.-

Stratus: <Eh?> -Turns around.- <Oh, Jayna! Hi! How long have you been there?>

Woolly: <Hey, Unite? You think those two are in love?>

Unite: <I wouldn't say they're in love, but Stratus seems to have a pretty big chrush on her. I mean, look at how wobbly he gets whenever she's around.>

Jayna: <Hehe... Hey, Stratus. I've only been here for a few minutes.> (looks around) <So, you guys are training to prepare for your next battle, huh?>

Stratus: -Nods.- <Yep! All of us are training for our fight against Red.>

Woolly: <I've battled him before, and it was really tough! And since he's probably going to be stronger too, we're going to need all the practice we can get!>

Unite: <Pfft. This Red guy doesn't scare me, but it never hurts to do some more training, I guess.>

Stratus: <How can you not be scared of him? I've heard he got into a fist-fight with Mewtwo and won!>

Unite: <What?! That's crazy! Woolly, is that true?>

Woolly: <I dunno'. We'll have to ask Mewtwo the next time we see him.>

Stratus: <Anyway, I'm getting better at flying, but I'm still a bit wobbly.> -Sigh.- <I can't help but feel there's something...I dunno...Important that I'm forgetting to do, but I can't think what...>

Jayna: <Really?> (shrugs) <Well, it's nice to see that your flying skill is improving.>

Stratus: <I'm happy I'm getting better, too. I think I'll be able to fly properly if I keep this up. But...I don't think that'll be for a while yet. Which is a shame, because I've heard that there's a move that Dragonite can use if we can fly well enough.>

Unite: <Ooh, sounds pretty cool to me. Do you have any idea what move it is?>

Stratus: <Not really, but it involves wind, so I'm guessing that I'll need to learn how to use my wings properly before I can use it. It's REALLY powerful though. At least, that's what I've been told.>

-Has been spending most of the morning training for his battle with Blue-

Jayna: (nods) <Hmm... That does sound pretty cool.>

Unite: <Hey, what are the chances I can use this move?>

Stratus: <I don't think you'll be able to use it, Unite. Besides, it's a special attack, so It won't be much use to you, I don't think.>

Unite: <Aww, really? That's a downer.>

Woolly: <It's okay, Unite! I think the moves you can use already are cool enough!>

Unite: <...I guess.>

Stratus: <So, what about you Jayna? How are you getting on?>
