ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

[Video]Phone Call

Maekrite — <...! Regions taken over!>

— This sounds pretty serious...

-Maekrite paws my head and gives a half-hearted growl-

-I look at the Tropius family at the other side of the screen, and mumble something, then start quickly typing some orders in a nearby terminal-

— This is all wrong on so many levels...

Maekrite — <Well at least Luke is OK... I feared the colony would be worried about his whereabouts...>

In the Colony at the same Moment

-A heated discussion is being held at a praire at some point in Ring-1...-

Random Nidorina #1 — <But that's the information we got from the city!The Nildrow attacked Mr. Luke, and now he is gone! We can't find him anywhere!>

Random Nidorino #4 — <We also got some report from the Pidgey and Yanma, about more Gym Leaders being fought and captured in the cities to the east... it turns out they were some kind of homba in disguise...>

-Three Nidorino, Rize among them, discuss that piece of information-

Snubbull Messenger — <From what I heard from a Trainer, they are from a place called Unova where there is a war.>

Mayonaka (turns to a random messenger) — <And you say the southern troops reported humans commenting on this?>

Wooper Messenger — <Yes, miss. Something about it happening in many places around the world. But it seems the humans don't believe this...>

Mayonaka (drops an ear) — <What does Cmd. Taisho think about this?>

Messenger (bows) — <He's being informed of this as we speak...>

Random Nidorina #6 — <Darn...> — turns to Mayonaka — <Perhaps we should discuss this with the Elders...>

-Mayonaka sighs-

Mayonaka — <There is no time. Better be safe than sorry...> — turns to the messenger and the three Nidorino — <Spread the word about this situation. I want two extra squads to strengthen our presence in the city... Rize?>

Rize — <Yes, marli-rah?>

Mayonaka — <I want an assembly of soldiers and allies ready at the city borders. Send a messenger to the Nildrow and tell them they either come to talk peacefully, or have their species executed as traitors to u Frithrah.>

-Rize and the others show surprise, but after an initial shock he merely nods-

Mayonaka — <Now disperse, all of you. I'll go consult this with the elders.>

-Each Nido and ally departs in their own direction. Rize stops by some trees and exposes the branding in his leg's backside to the light of the moon; in short notice a patrol of four Nidorans and a Hoothoot teleport themselves on-screen...-

Nidoran — <What is required of us, Maestro?>

Rize — <There's a shift in the tide. Tell Vinollo I need to fetch Hyzenthlay, and also to send an ally, one who understands human language, to the southern gates near the Ilex Forest. On the Double.>

Hoothoot — <I'll take that part.>

Nidoran (nods) — <Yes, Maestro.>

-The Nidorans and the Hoothoot disappear into the shadows, and Rize continues his way towards Rt.36.-

-In the Entralink-

"... Guess we should get going to sleep..."

<Vlad: "(*yawn*) Do you think that we'll find Burgh quickly tomorrow?">

"I hope so..."

<Mike: "Hmm... Looks like we're going to win... And we barely had to fight...">

<Kat: "Ugh, don't jinx it...">

<Iron Marrow: "Fate is rather fickle, fiend...">

<Milo: "Eh, enough about that... Let's get some rest...">

<Pascal: "Yeah, man... I'm down for that...">

<Guy: "Same here...">

-Begins to nod off with Pokemon-

Last post for night.

-Puts his hands on Fool's shoulders-

Listen to me. If you were really such a horrible person as you think, would you really feel bad for the things the other you (I certainly know what you mean by a voice.) did in this timeline, or even what you did just now while under "her" influence? My real anger is towards that bastard Napoleon. He's the one that made the other you like that and brought you so much pain, manipulative swine that he is, and I promise you that he will be stopped.

-Pauses-

And well, besides all that stuff I mentioned, I really do love you Fool. I can't speak for the others, but that's how I feel. Even when Gamer told me what the other you did, sure I got myself piss drunk and sulked for hours, but I never stopped. Not one second.

At The Entralink

-Fool sniffs-

You mean it Tagg?

At Nimbasa

-The various platoons and Battalions gather behind the 14 green clad Pokemon in the front lines. Napoleon stands in front of them all-

<Napoleon>: <My fellow mons! We have tended our wounds and rested up in Nimbasa long enough to recuperate from our wounds! We were also able to recruit new Pokemon to make up for the losses from the last three battles! But alas, my friends, we cannot dwindle here forever while the other cities in this wonderful region are in their clutches! For now! We head! TO DRIFTVIEL!>

-A large roar emerges from the crowds-

-Napoleon draws his scimitar-

<Napoleon>: <ON TO DRIFTVEIL!>

-Napoleon and his forces start marching their way to Driftveil City-

-stops wandering, leans against a tree, and falls asleep from exhaustion-

-Kisses Fool-

Have you ever known me to lie?

-Blushes, before replying-

N-not really..

-Stage 5: Acceptance-

-Fool sighs and hugs Tagg-

I.. I guess I'm not as a horrible person I think myself out to be... But... I don't think I'll get over this whole thing until my dying day...

[Video]Phone Call

-I finish up sending up some instructions to a terminal in PEFE. Turning back to Tangent-

— Don't like where this is going... Look, can you do me a favor? Among the old equipment we rescued I left a container labelled "MILITARY — DISREGARD CONTENTS". Can you have it sent to me? Just... ignore the contents and ship it...

Maekrite (flattens ears) — <-Is it what I think it is?>

— Hopefully we'll be able to make good use of them...

-turn to the screen, hurried-

— Well... I have to go now, really... Look, uh, keep those saplings and their parents out of danger, right?

Maekrite — <Yeah, Basket deserves some happiness.>

— Be seeing you later I hope - hangs up.

Maekrite (leaps down) — <What now?>

— Well, I guess you'll want to inform your friends about this... — scratch his ears — I'll remain with the interns here, compiling some information.

-Maekrite stares at me for a while, with a look of disapproval, but then nods-

Maekrite — <I'll be back in ten minutes.> — hops away.

-I turn to the inters who are still working in their own stuff-

Gee... this is gonna be so simple to explain...

Goldenrod Streets

-Hidden behind some trees, Maekrite raises his paw to the sky. Pokéteco appears in short notice-

Maekrite (snorts) — <I can't get used to you being my messenger.>

Pokéteco — <Definitively better than a Yanma.> — strokes plummage.

Maekrite — <Anyway, I take it you heard what Silent and me were commenting...>

Pokéteco — <Most of it... want me to report it to the higher-ups?>

-Maekrite paces around-

Maekrite — <Actually, no. Just pass the message to the city patrollers, they'll do the rest.> — stares at the bird — <But what I want you to do is to go set up Inka's place.>

-The owl turns his head around, making Maekrite feel slightly sick-

Pokéteco — <I think I can see what exactly you need. You can count on it being ready.>

Maekrite — <Thanks. Also say hi to mom and dad on my behalf.>

Pokéteco (chirps something that could, hypothetically, be read as "right, as if I was getting close to a Nido Royal Couple") — <Sure will...> — flies away.

-Meanwhile, a squad of a Nidorina, a Nidorino and seven kits infiltrates the city from the south, trying to fetch information on the Radio Tower's conditions-

-Blushes back while scratching his head-

Well here I go with the wide philosophical diatribes again, and that's understandable Fool.

-Hugs her back-

I'm not sure if I'll ever get used to this whole "being loved" thing, but I do know that seeing you happy makes me happy.

-Falls asleep while still holding Fool-

-The psychic call several hours ago was interuptted by the sudden appearance of what can only be assumed to be a rouge agent of Solipede. The last few hours were spent battling said agent-

Normal Thoughts: <Phew, good thing I had the dagger with me...> -Tries to concentrate but mind is racing too fast from the battle-

Entralink

-Fool falls asleep not long after Tagg-

- Somewhere -

- Is asleep again, dreaming -

- My other self is providing commentary again -

... I thought I had decided to never find a boyfriend.

Wolf must really be special if he was able to make you change your mind like that.

He certainly seems special to you, and I can tell that you must be very special to him as well.

I can see why he loves you so much.

You're so kind, and strong, and smart and pretty...

... I really wish I could be just like you.

While I probably do possess some of the qualities you have, I still don't think I can ever measure up to you.

You're really amazing...

Wolf is really lucky to have someone like you.

... I wish there was anything I could do to help you get back to him, and your other friends sooner.

... But you have everything under control, don't you?

Well, I'll be watching from the sidelines, cheering you on.

I know you can do this...

Woodstock: <BOSS!>

-Crowley looks up as Woodstock lands in his nest chamber, slightly annoyed that his daily preening session was being interrupted.-

Crowley: <What is it, Woodstock? Did da' birds downtown get entranced by da' lights on da' Game Corner again?>

Woodstock: <No boss, it's the Nidos! 'Dey want ta' have a meetin' with ya'!>

Crowley: <Is 'dat all?>

Woodstock: <No, 'dey said that if ya' didn't show, dey'd execute all of us as traitors to u Frithrah! Whatever dat's' supposed to be.>

-Crowley narrows his eyes.-

Crowley: <Well, how polite. Fine, send a message 'dat I'll be 'dere in two hours tops, and 'dat if they lay even a paw on my krows...'Dey'll live ta' regret it.>

Woodstock: <Yes sir, boss!>

-Woodstock leaves to deliver the message as Crowley rolls his eyes.-

Crowley: <'Dat Silent has a lot ta' answer for...>

-wakes up, and goes to wander around the Entralink-

-Me and my Pokémon are already up and getting ready to begin our search for the Gym Leaders.-

Unite: <So, the Orange and Sevii Islands, eh? Any of you guys been before?>

Stratus: <I have!>

Flare: <The rest of us haven't, though. They're actually one of the places we haven't been to at all yet.>

Wulfric: <At least we won't have to worry about Artemis, Scolipede and Napoleon while we're out there. At least, I hope so, anyway.>

Woolly: -Sighs.- <It's shame we're caught up in this war. It sounds like a really nice place to take a vacation.>

Unite: <Sure does. I hope we'll get to go there properly some day.>

Treeo: <I hope so, too. I love sunny places. Grass type's like us can get most of our food from the sun in places like those.>

Harriet: <Heh. Lucky you.>

Lake: -Looks worried.-

Lake? Are you alright? You look a bit ill.

Treeo: <What's wrong?>

Lake: <...I don't know why, but I have this absolutely horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach for some reason.>

Woolly: <Oh? Did you eat something that didn't agree with you?>

Cinder: <I told you guys that last night's dinner seemed a bit off.>

Lake: <No, I don't think it's that.> -Shakes his head.- <I think I'll be fine guys. I'm not ill, I've just got a really bad feeling, that's all. It'll probably go away soon.

At least, I hope so...>

- At the Entralink -

Whimsicott: <Seems one of those humans that understand our speech tried to get some of the other Dream World Pokémon to join up, but they don't really seem to be aware of what's going on.>

Emolga: <Hey, Shinx? You're from the Dream World. You think you can help us out?>

Shinx: <Well, I suppose I could go talk to them.>

- The Shinx enters the forest to try to talk to some other DW Pokémon -

-Today-

<That battle last night was intense.>

-looks around the base-

<It's good to be back, though.>

That Morning, somewhere in the city Borders

-Mayonaka, another Nidorina and a messenger Wishmur stand ground while the 'krows come, having left the small squad sent to protect them waiting at a pond behind as a sign of diplomacy. Mayonaka lends an ear, however, and smiles to herself-

Mayonaka (leans casually on the ground) — <Come out come out, I know you're in there...>

-Vinollo emerges from behind some bushes, prompting the Nidorina to lick themselves-

Nidorina — <Spruce... How did you...?>

Vinollo — <It's my duty.> — bows.

Mayonaka (casting a sort-of-Leer) — <Well it is interrupting ours, so please wait further away. We'll be fine, seriously.>

Vinollo — <...But... You have raised a->

-Mayonaka stands up and raises a paw-

Vinollo — <You need to learn diplomacy from your brother, cute thing... The whole point of a threat is to not have to carry it on.>

Nidorina — <Besides, from what we hear, Mr. Luke is fine.>

-Raises sight up-

Vinollo — <What? How...?>

Wishmur — <I got that message some minutes ago.>

-The Nidorinas laugh-

Vinollo — <You were so busy hiding yourself that you didn't notice, eh?>

-Vinollo blushes, then flickers his ears and bows again-

Vinollo — <I- er... I'll go stay further away then. Highnesses...> — retreats.

-The two Nidorina lean on the ground to bathe in the sunlight-

-Meanwhile, as per instructions, the interns begin moving all the data and information systems in a truck to Goldenrod University, and I go to the Pokémon Center to "register" Maekrite, just in case-

-I wander the base, completely lost, but don't really care because Dana's finally asleep after whimpering all night since the battle with Whiscash-

-Has been returned to my normal spot in the Entralink, the dagger removed-

-I cautiously pull my blanket back, and look at the puncture wound on my leg-

-It is now a reddish-brown narrow crevasse running down into my leg, just barely above my legbone-

edited 18th Aug '11 9:12:41 AM by Anomalocaris20

-Crowley touches down near the Nido's, followed by his cronies, Woodstock, Conrad, Bill and Oliver.-

Crowley: <Alright, alright, we're here already! Now nomon needs to go and kill anymon.>

-The Honckrow straightens his hat.-

Crowley: <Allow me ta' introduce myself. My name is Crowley, and I'm da' don of 'dis town. Now, what is it that is so serious 'dat you threaten ta' execute my family if we don't show, eh?>

Bill: <They were gonna' kill us? Eep!>

Oliver: <Don't worry! Boss wouldn't let 'em do it.>

Conrad: <Pfft, I doubt it...>

- Somewhere in Unova -

HotStuff: <... There has got to be an easier way to find those trainers.>

Wings: <Like how?>

Velvet: <With everything that is going on in this region, it seems our task just keeps getting more and more difficult...>

Silvermist: <Maybe we should just try to find a safe place, and just lay low for a while?>

HotStuff: <No! We have to find those trainers! We have to!>

Silvermist: <Oh... Right.>

Briar Rose: <Relax, guys. Stress isn't good for anyone, and will only make it harder to complete our task!>

HotStuff: <Hehe... You've really taken after DS when it comes to the optimism thing, Rose.>

Briar Rose: (giggles)

-sitting in the main console room, deep in conversation with Blue and Steven-

-Mayonaka darts forwards and sits-

Mayonaka — <Crowley, I'm Mayonaka, leader of all Nidoran, and the threat is only so that you see we mean business in what follows.>

-The other Nidorina shows up-

Nidorina — <We have given good information, and witnessed first hand, that your murder not only has been in cahoots with enemies from beyond these lands to take over, but also that it has threatened the emissary of Ho-Oh.>

Wishmur — <We call him Luke, let's see if that refreshes your memory.>

Mayonaka — <How do you respond to this?>

-continues wandering, wondering vaguely if there's anything I can do to help, then deciding I'd probably just get everyone's way-
