ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Who was it that tasked you with holding the Gym Leaders anyway?

Meeting place

Lanius: -Is examining what appears to be a skull while speaking to Lelouch- <Still being an underhanded bastard as always for your imaginary kingdom? If it wasn't for our lords I'd lash you to a cross like that profligate I strung up a few hours ago. You, and that fox Vulpes.>

It's only fanfiction. He's not posting it under your name anymore, so it doesn't seem like a really big deal.

Bill: <Oh, Ice Cream! Can we have some?>

Conrad: <No. We're here to plan for war! Not stuff ourselves with sweets!>

Bill: <Aww...Boss?>

Crowley: <...Maybe later. For now, we need ta' wait for Silent to get here.>

Woodstock: <Do ya' think he'll remember you?>

Crowley: <Hmm. Most likely he'll remember me as "'Dat Krow 'dat kept pickin' fights with Sonny.">

Bill: <Oh, hey! I wonder where Sonny is? Do you think he's doing okay?>

Crowley: <...I'd rather not think about it.>

Woolly: <Group of humans? Could that be...?>

Treeo: <It might. But it could just be a bunch of prisoners that Scolermis banished here or something. We won't know for sure until we see for ourselves.>

Lake: -To Tyranitar Teeth.- <Well, if the Elders know, would you mind if we asked them about it? We hate to intrude, but it's very important that we find these people.>

Yeah.

Sunny: <Oh, enough with the small talk. You know you both just want to make out.>

...

-has run out of small talk, notices Sunny-

I don't need to be psychic to know what he's thinking...

At Silent's House

-Pokéteco opens the door and leads the guests in-

Pokéteco — <There's a table over there... and be careful with the TV set there... I'll go perch on that lamp...>

-Sees one of the Nido running to the kitchen-

Pokéteco — <...And I already warned you about the ice cream!>

-Maekrite pops out from a room-

Maekrite — <Wait, what the heck is going on...? Marli-rah?> — looks around.

Mayonaka — <We are here to discuss matters with your human, Maekrite. He will be here shortly...> — frowns, leers — <Shouldn't you be tailing him?>

Maekrite — <I needed to take care of this place, which seems to have been a good cho~> — looks at the birds then focuses on Crowley — <Hey... I think I know you...>

-stiffens ears and stares at the others-

Maekrite — <It's you! That 'krow 'at kept picking fights with Sonny!>

Pokéteco (hoots from the lamp) — <Keep it cool, pincushion. They're here on friendly terms. Silent should be here soon. Actually...> — turns head 270º to the door.

-I open the door and enter the house carrying a package-

— ...Maekrite? Pokéteco? Why is there a Nidoran squa~ — looks in — ...Guests?

Maekrite (raises paw) — <Oh hai.>

— ...What is going on here? Those Murkrow... — remembers something — Hey! Aren't you that 'krow that kept pickin' fights with Sonny?

-Maekrite rolls his eyes-

-has also run out of things to talk about-

...

<Tyranitar Teeth: "That is why I asked you to come and speak with our elders. I don't know...">

<Crustle: "Could you lead us there, then?">

<Heracross: "Yeah, we just want to see Burgh again.">

<Tyranitar Teeth: "Follow us...">

-The Marowak begin leading us off down a path-

-At the meeting place-

-To the Samurott-

<Serperior: "Mmph. I see that you're still fighting according to that sense of 'honor' you have. How our lords are satisfied with the 'victories' that you deliver them is beyond me...">

-Thinking-

<Serperior: "Knowing him, he probably marched his troops to their deaths against his opponents until they couldn't fight from fatigue... Again. If only the Blue Death had been a little more steady with his shot... The world would have been rid of this ogre.">

-Is idiling impatiently-

Meeting Place

Lelouch: -stewing- Just sit there, you viper... If I could get that mask off you, this would all be- no... I bet you don't even REMEMBER taking her. Just you wait, I will get her out from under your thumb, and will see to it you get the justice you so richly deserve... if I have to take down half the world to do it, so be it!

<As they say, my friend... All is fair in love and war. And I do hope our command doesn't get wind of such... remarks. They could be misinterpreted as downright treasonous...>

Quest Island Shore

Researcher #1: OK... so, we're here... now what?

"Tagg": -motions to researchers to stay in the boat-

"Tangent": -motions to researchers to keep the boat waiting-

Researcher #2: Hey, if we don't have to go on the island, all the better...

Researcher #1: Have they said a word to us???

-once out of sight of the boat-

"Tagg": <Finally! I had all these words building up inside me and couldn't say anything!>

"Tangent": <Ugh, well be careful... Death Island and all.>

-In a desperate attempt to break the silence-

...So...um...

-Or not-

Crowley: -Sighs.- <I know, I know. Always picking on Sonny...

...Look Silent, my krows have intercepted several messages from Unova 'dat indicate 'dat Artemis and Scolipede are coming HERE. And I bet 'dat dey're not planning on a making it a peaceful one.

What I'm saying is, 'dey're going to try and take over our land. And naturally, we're not too keen on 'dat.>

-Pats Lake on the back.-

Well done, buddy.

Treeo: <Wow, Lake. You're a born negotiator.>

Harriet: <Unlike some Pokémon...>

Cinder: -Growls- <And what's that supposed to mean?!>

Don't argue, you two. Come on everyone.

-We all follow.-

-Scolipede walks into the waiting room, guarded by Bouffalant-

Scolipede: <...>

-He glares around the room-

Um...

Come on, Mezzo. It's not this hard to just say something.

Lelouch: <What are your orders, my liege?>

Lanius: -To Lelouch- <A real warrior doesn't need to rely on underhanded tricks.>

-Notices Scolipede-

<My lord.>

...

Oh, just say it already!

...Fine.

...Um...Mezzo? I sort of have to say something...

What is it?

-Sunny perks his ears up-

Scolipede: <...I do not like having to rely on any of you bickering foolsss. But cccircumssstancccesss change, and now I'm giving you all a tasssk. Each of you take a detachment of sssoldiersss and go conquer Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. Now go and get out of my antennae.>

-He gestures toward the door; Bouffalant happens to be in the way, so Scolipede shoves him out of it and gestures again-

-A short time later, in the main dwelling of the tribe-

-Tyranitar Teeth approaches a group of four Marowak, followed by the group-

<Articuno Feather: "Oh. So these were the fiends and their humans that you encountered...">

<Bone Hook: "I recognize one of them... But he is without the Marowak that came here last time...">

<Stone Bead: "So what brings you here?">

-Aside-

<Kat: "Ugh... Never thought that I'd run into this tribe again... But I could have sworn that there were fewer of them!">

____________________

-Somewhere in Unova-

-About 15 seconds ago-

<Serperior: "Ah, my liege! It is pleasant to see you again! What is it that you needed me for? And why on earth does it necessitate these two to be here?">

-After Scolipede leaves-

<Serperior: "... How were we to decide the individual theaters again? By lots?">

- Somewhere -

- Continues walking -

... I wonder if my team has found anyone yet.

The six of them are tough, so they should be okay even in Unova's dangerous conditions...

... Still, I am a little worried about them.

- Glances at my Poketch, which ran out of batteries a few weeks ago -

... I wonder how long I've been here now...

-Bouffalant is unaware that he's been moved out of the way of the doorway. As such, when he turns to leave, he walks smack into the wall and continues walking like Tracer did once-

-My room at the base-

You ready, Ninetales?

Ninetales: <Absolutely. We have the jump on them this time.>

-releases Gyarados, and Meganium from their balls as well, before releasing the three Zoroark I caught in Johto-

Lelouch: Hoenn? Geologic activity there is well-suited to my style. Lanius will spring for Kanto no doubt, but why let him dictate?

-pushes chair back, stands up- <Why play to fate? It seems simple enough. Samurott has the largest army, it is only fair he tackle the populous Kanto. Hoenn is fractured enough to limit your usual... diplomacy's... effectiveness, Serperior, so I'll sweep them up and proceed to whoever needs assistance.>

-Somewhere in Unova-

-Thinking-

<Serperior: "Mmph, impudent twerp. Though that actually doesn't seem like a bad arrangement... The lizard will be left to his own devices in that waterlogged rock and with all luck, that ogre will finally be done in by attempting to mindlessly throw troops at cities of millions and I can assume his theater and close it in a worthy matter after capturing Johto.">

-To the Dragonite-

<Serperior: "... As loath as I am to admit it, I think that sounds like a fairly solid plan...">

At the House

-After being explained the situation-

— ...I feared something like this would eventually happen. — sighs — I, well... I kinda have been preparing an army for a similar scenario, but an invasion from Unova? Damn...

-I gesture to a table, where I show the Nidos and Murkrows some TMs, medicine batches and random assorted devices I have shipped off from PEFE during the last years.-

Maekrite — <Well, I am glad that you are going to fight them too. You'll need to be in top shape for this.>

— I agree. Crowley, would you mind if we starter inoculating your murder here against sicknesses and allergens? Wouldn't want any resisting force here falling to a random disease instead of in combat...

Mayonaka — <As for your offer, we'd be glad if you could help us by maintaining control of the Goldenrod Tunnel, Crowley.> — to me — <It's the safest way of smugging troops and supplies from one side of the city to the other.>

-turns to Crowley-

Mayonaka — <Besides, there is something that you should know...> — looks aside — <We already sent a large group of Nidoran to take positions at Rt.34.>

— ...This early?

Mayonaka (flattens ears) — <We expected if there was a war it would be next year or something... honest, so we wanted to prepare by taking over that habitat and breeding into fighting troops...> — turns to Crowley — <Since we don't know how will we be attacked, I will have them stand on high alert.>

-As we keep talking some more, I go and offer the Nidos and Krows some pellets and vegetables (but no ice cream)-

-showing the group some pictures-

— ...and this is the kind of armor I can get for us. As you have seen, some of my Nidos wear those too. They offer slight elemental protection and can help accommodate an item, they can't really do much else though...
