ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

At the Entralink

-Fool rests against the tree-

At Driftveil

-While Napoleons armies either inhabit the now deserted houses or set up tents, Napoleon and the Midori Room Pokemon head over for the finest building in Driftveil-

<Napoleon>: <It's not as glamourous as the last place, but it'll do. I take the best room, the rest of you can have whatever room you wish.>

-The 14 Pokemon enter the building and choose their rooms, Napoleon heads to the king suite and starts sharpening his scimitar-

<Napoleon>: <I wonder what happened to Snowman? She hasn't been seen since the Nimbasa takeover... It doesn't matter, I'll takeover this region without her help...>

Shadow: <Perhaps you should talk to your Pokémon about how you're feeling. I know doing that helped my trainer.>

...Sure.

Yeah...

-shivers slightly-

Maybe it'll be the same thing as when we came here? Like, some important event or person or Pokemon or something triggers memory return?

Yup. And you know my first name, which is more than I ever intended anyone outside Twinleaf and Sandgem Town to ever know. I'd say we're even.

The only thing you need to know about my last name is that it's not nearly as badass as Wolf.

-laughs-

Maybe. I like to think that you would be my trigger. Right now there's nothing in the world more important to me.

Andes — <Yes... well, the purpose will be known tomorrow.>

Snubbull — <We are only sure that it involves the humans living there.>

-Andes shakes his head-

Andes — <I am sorry we can not provide more information, but actually we are a bit confused ourselves. We expect that the colony's human will manage to provide us with the information we need.>

-Meanwhile at home-

-Pokéteco perches on a chair while Maekrite sniffs around-

Maekrite — <Where the...?> — paces around — <Where did Silent go?>

Pokéteco — <This looks like trouble...> — turns head 180º and lights up his eyes — <He left just a couple of seconds ago in the direction of the Department Store.>

Maekrite (spits on the ground) — <Damn it I'm supposed to be informed of those travels!> — shakes up — <Let's go!>

-Maekrite and Pokéteco go to the streets to find me-

Then we'll leave tomorrow... somehow.

The Audino might not be willing to let me go in this shape... but I'm leaving.

I just hope I'm not a burden like this... I want to be able to move on my own, and I'll push myself as hard as I can.

Thanks, Star.

-I give her a hug before getting up and searching for Fool... or something-

-smiles at Mezzo-

Thanks....

-smiles back-

-Fool notices Anom-

Oh... Hello there Anom...

-Notices Fool-

Oh! Uh... hi... Fool. Ummm...

-Without intending I put my hand over the stab wound on instinct-

-I then realize what I'm doing and pull my hand away-

Uhh...

-looks out at the sky-

The Entralink is nice...I could never see this many stars from Nimbasa.

Roa: -nods- <All right sir, I accept the assignment.> -she glances at the Snubbull- <I can't think of any specific berries or herbs that will help specifically without knowing what exactly the assignment is, but Oran Berries are always good to have around.>

-At the base in Hoenn-

-I smile, then walk into the room to find Ashes telling a story with Hermes curled up listening and Tweedle perched on the bunk-

Ashes: <And then Buddy said 'If you do that again I'll beat you up' and Arrow said 'Knock it off!' and Buddy said 'I'll knock you off!' and Dennis said 'That makes no sense!' and then Hermes hit Buddy from behind and Buddy hit him and Lydia told us all to shut up she's trying to watch TV so Buddy went off and sulked.>

Tweedle: He doesn't seem very nice...

He was a bit abrasive, sure, but he had his heart in the right place.

-sets down the TV and sits on the bunk-

I'm going to bed. Night guys!

You're welcome.

-returns the hug-

-Watches Anom walk away-

You're pretty close to him, aren't you?

Yeah, I guess.

No wonder that Espeon keeps shipping you guys....

....Shut up...

-also looks up at the sky-

Wow, yeah. You'd never see this many stars in Castelia.

-Fool sees Anom place his hand on his wound-

-Sigh- I'm really sorry for stabbing you Anom. I never meant to hurt you...

Good night, Helen. I'm right around the corner, so just holler if you need me. Or bang on the wall, or something.

I... I know...

I just...

-Has no idea what to say-

-I decide to sit down, partly because my legs hurt from standing again-

I kinda brought it upon myself, I guess...

I... didn't think you'd do it, though...

-Is unsure how to tell Fool that I'm hurt inside even more than outside, but decides it's better not to tell her-

...-still looking up at the stars, smiling-

Almost makes you forget that the world is controlled by a bug and a cat...

Sootopolis Entrance

-several trainers await any intruders at the seafloor, Kingdra, Dewgong, and Walrein by their side-

Front Dewgong: <Who is there?!>

-A Dragonite approaches, with a torpedo launcher in its arms-

Front Dewgong: <Stand down!> -prepares to fire an Ice Beam-

Lelouch: <Oh my... I am sorry, I did not expect you here. I'm sure we can resolve this calmly, like gentlemen, no?>

Walrein: -growls-

Lelouch: -eyes glows a sinister crimson again- <Lelouch vi Britannia kindly requests of you...>

<BREATHE.>

glsap~!

-the force opposing him busy drowning, Lelouch fires a couple torpedoes at strategic points in the arch above, collapsing the tunnel- and turning the wall above into a passable channel for the waiting invasion fleet to enter the Sootopolis crater lake, guns trained on the city...-

I...I should have not taken the dagger from you... I knew I was too unstable at the time...

-Grabs 3 Pokeballs and randomly captures 3 of the captured Pokemon-

"Ugh... What on earth are we even going to do with these creeps anyways?"

<Vesta: "... I don't know, Tracer...">

<Vlad: "... I should probably feel like giving them a chance, but I really don't... Not after seeing what happened today...">

<Aloysius: "Let's just show them to those Marowak and get this over with...">

-Turns to leave-

<Tyranitar: "Th-Thank you...">

"There's no need for that. You were in need of aid, and we were able to provide it."

-In a battered apartment in Celadon-

-A Spiritomb, and a familiar Lucario, Zoroark, Charizard, and Dusknoir are sitting in a room-

<Burny: "I-Is the boss okay?">

<Sabine: "Are you talking about Jaws or-?">

<Slenderman: "He's talking about Jaws.">

<Legion: "What sort of a question is that? He got friggin' hurled across a street by an overgrown rat!">

<Sabine: "He's alive, but badly hurt... I don't think that Randy's taking it so well. If it weren't for that trick that Erika pulled, we'd probably all be dead right now...">

-A long pause later-

<Burny: "W-We're all g-gonna die, aren't we?">

<Legion: "Gee, why don't you just go and tie yourself to a pole with those trainers by the Pokecenter if you're going to give up like that!">

<Slenderman: "You don't understand.">

<Burny: "W-We know about this S-Samurott, he used to w-work with our o-old boss!">

<Slenderman: "As you're probably now aware, he's quite the piece of work...">

<Erika: "So what's going on now?">

<Sabine: "... Randy wanted to go out to fight in the streets tomorrow...">

<Burny: "WHAT?! H-He'll get us killed!">

<Legion: "Can it, you wuss!">

<Erika: "Yeah, that head-on fighting was so effective earlier today...">

<Sabine: "... So we're just supposed to give up and take this then?">

<Erika: "I never said that... Just that you'd get killed if you fought head-on.">

<Sabine: "...">

<Erika: "You read what I was going to say, didn't you?">

<Sabine: "I did. And I want to know more...">
