ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Hey Star and Anom, when were you guys thinking about getting your character's hands unstuck?

-Has been doing other stuff, like training, away from everyone else-

Haven't decided yet. Why?

-Accelgor is hit, and poisoned-

Accelgor: <Argh... not much time for me with this... but...! Let's see you figure out this!>

-Accelgor splits apart into several copies, all of which then fire off another Bug Buzz-

-Maekrite rubs against the ground and kicks an imaginary pebble, feeling he has brought a sad subject of conversation to Basket and feeling himself unfairly lucky to both Lake and Basket.-

Maekrite — <Uh... I guess... I lived with both of my parents, sorry... sorry for, uh, bringing it out.>

-listening to Nido-

Maekrite — <Really? She killed him? That's... something one doesn't hear very often. I've heard rumours of colour-racist Nidoran colonies where the mates can kill each other over the color of their offspring... wouldn't believe it if I saw it...>

Basket: <Yeah... At least you had somebody of your own kind to raise you... all I really had to go by was just what Tangent and his family found in the encyclopedia and Pokémon Channel documentaries. Which at least let them figure out how to feed me properly.>

-Hilda's Accelgor attempts to dodge, but is struck by the real one-

Hilda: All right, try your own Bug Buzz! See if you can hit all of them at once!

Lake: <Don't feel bad, Maekrite. I'm happy to hear you had a normal childhood. That isn't something you should have to apologize for.>

-Nido looked at the young Nidorino-

Nido- <Kid, are matting rituals are brutal.>

-Amp looked up from Nido's comment-

Amp- <Ouch>

-Accelgor's copy is hit, but the real one dodges-

-He then tries using Energy ball, but is almost fainted from poisoning-

Riptide: -Is staring at the ground, but Milotic catches up and the Attract succeeds-
...Hey. -Riptide throws his arm over Milotic and pulls her close-

...-cough-

Riptide: ...Oh, right. -Shakes his head, then uses Earthquake again-

Hilda: Watch out!

-Hilda's Accelgor braces itself with Endure and just barely manages to keep standing-

Hilda: Come on, you've almost got it! Finish it off with another Bug Buzz!

-Maekrite smirks at Nido's comment-

Maekrite — <s'Ok... wouldn't I know, heh>

-To Lake and Luke-

Maekrite — <Can't say I had exactly a "normal" childhood, but thanks...>

-Far from there in the Pokémon Center-

Dintel (scratching the door to Blue's room) — <Hello? Come on, I'm here! I can has talk to nice Tyranitar?>

-Accelgor faints-

Hmm...

-Has Star throw the Pokeball for me this time-

Go, Volcarona!

Volcarona: <Yeah, yeah, I already know why you're stuck to Star. Now then...>

-Volcarona uses Heat Wave, swamping the arena with intensely hot air-

Nido- <You should hear about old Blaze there, he was raised by Jordan his entire life, same with Togi">

-Jordan was watching the battle-

-Is watching both matches-

This is pretty exciting don't you think?

- Hears Tagg -

It sure is!

- HotStuff is still excitedly cheering for Anom and Slouch -

Did Tracer lose his connection or something?

Basket: <Yeah, Tangent raised me for pretty much all I can remember, since I kinda landed in his family's backyard. With a lot of help from his dad at first... back then, little Tangent was actually scared of actually making physical contact with Pokémon, would you believe it?>

-Hilda's Accelgor faints-

Hilda: Nicely done. All right, Sawk, don't let me down!

-sends out Sawk-

Hilda: Hit that Volcarona with a Stone Edge!

-Sawk hurls shards of stone into the air-

I have to go take a shower now.

My internet kinda died for half an hour, so just assume that the last Attract didn't work, Slouch...

-With Dintel-

<Gene: "Oh hai, Dintel!">

-Does a Dintel impression complete with mimicry of Sandshrew's Emerald animation-

______________

-On the arena-

-Milotic takes the Earthquake, and loses ~35% of her maximum health-

<Milotic: "AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!">

-Thinking-

Cynthia: "Hmm... There is one more thing that we could do... And it would keep him from using Earthquake..."

Cynthia: "Milotic! Coil yourself around that Feraligatr's body, do anything it takes to get him to open his eyes!"

-Coiling around Riptide-

<Milotic: "Hee hee hee! Don't you want me? I'm right here! Come on... Give me all your love... Give me all your love... Don't give it to someone else...">

-Is nuzzling Riptide's eyelids, attempting to force them open-

-Milotic restores 1/8 of her health... And is at just under 40% health-

______________

-In the stands-

<Teala: "...">

<Vlad: "... Um...">

<Milo: "... Oh yeah, that's TOTALLY not awkward...">

-is wondering why Luke didn't pick up on his earlier call. Gamer calls him back, and repeats his message from earlier.

Volcarona: <Hold it, hold it, that's not a fair move.>

-Sawk wants to learn Splash, but can only know four moves! Delete a move to make room for Splash?-

>Yes

-Sawk forgot Stone Edge, and learned Splash!-

Volcarona: <That's better...>

What did you just do?

Volcarona: <Nothing!>

-is watching the battles-

Which one do I watch? One one hand, there's a guy battling with a girl stuck to his hand, which is funny....on the other, the champion of Sinnoh is battling! -flails head back and forth-

-Diesel faceblades, somehow not grievously injuring himself-

-Looks at Milotic and Riptide-

Pardon my Anglo-Saxon, but what the fuck am I looking at?

-the stone shards drop to the ground immediately-

Hilda: ...What just happened?

-Hilda shakes her head-

Hilda: Doesn't matter. Sawk, Stone Edge again!

-Sawk shakes his head-

Hilda: What do you mean, no? You can't use it anymore or something? Fine, use Close Combat then.

-Sawk rushes at Volcarona, attacking it up close-

-Answers.-

Hello? Huh? still not the strongest? Well, I did beat Red. Isn't that good enough? No?

Unite: <Oh for goodness sake.> -Flies over.- <Fine then! We'll win this tournement and prove that Luke is the world's greatest trainer!>
