ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Looks in the bottle, and sees there's still about half of the bottle left-

What should we do with this?

<Vlad: "Wait, where are you teammates, Lake?">

<Kat: "Now that he mentions it... How come you aren't with Luke right now?">

-After a short reading of Lake's Aura-

<Audrey: "OH! Wait, he did that?! But why?!">

<Teala: "Did what?">

<Nadia: "Wait, is something wrong, Lake?">

...So, um...

Even though you don't have to any more, do you still want to stay with us?

Uhh... I'll keep the solvent...

-Tangent and Basket are walking out of the bubble fort, in lightheaded silence-

Well... that was...

Basket: <Yeah...>

-they walk in awkward silence a bit longer, before encountering Lake and Tracer's team-

-Lake looks a bit put on the spot.-

Lake: <Well...Luke sort of...Released me. I'm not technically part of his team anymore..It's nothing to worry about though! He only did it because he said I didn't need a trainer any more...Which is true...>

-To Straw- Give that to the hotel owner. We dropped some glue near the stairs when we got stuck. Or Anom can have it.

-To Anom- I'll probably stick around for a little while.

-Actually gets out of the chair and walks outside to the group-

Hey guys...

-hearing Lake-

Oh! Yep, that's true. He has a Pokéball-blocking tracker now and everything!

I need it because, um...

Well, you know how 7 packets burst so I had to pay for them? Well, 3 of them didn't. I figured since I paid for them and they were just going to get thrown out anyway, that I'd keep them.

Oh, ok.

Uh... Hello Guys?

Hi, Fool! Look!

-Holds up my right hand, which is now free but also flushed-

<Nadia: "Oh. But what if you get hurt or something? Would he still be able to help you?">

<Iggy: "I'm sure that he would, Nadia...">

"Hmm... I must say that seems a little strange that Luke would do that... Though I can see why he would. How have you been doing being technically independent anyways?"

Lake: <Okay, I guess. I'm not really planning on leaving the group, even though I could if I wanted too. So I haven't really been in a situation where I've been on my own. I think I'd be able to look after myself though.> -To Naida.- <So there's no need to worry about me.> -Smiles.-

-Looks at Anom's hand-

And my hypothesis that your hand will be a flushed red when it got unglued was proven correct.

Basket: <Awww...> They are a cute couple... I don't know if they're ready to be called that yet, though.

-To Lake-

<Nadia: "Heh. I guess that you have a point...">

-Nuzzles against Lake-

—There you are, Dintel! Come on, leave that poor thing!

-I grab Dintel up before he pushes the poor bubble further-

Dintel — <Aww... good bye Bubble..! Don't worry! They'll accept you, you're cute~!> — clings to my chest.

— And now where are the others...?

Algira — <Tee hee~!>

-Algira and Maekrite appear and walk behind me-

Lake: -Blushes heavily.- <Aww...> -Nuzzles back.-

Hi, Fool.

Basket: <So, uh... Lake: did you and Luke explore Johto in much depth?>

Lake: <Of course we did! In fact, we pretty much know it like the back of our hands now. Why?>

-Turns to Straw-

Hi there Straw.

Not that I'm complainin', but I'm feelin' sorta neglected here.

Dinner.

Basket: <Well, we were... Ho-oh said...>

Do... you know anything about a flock of Tropius to the west of Olivine City?
