ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Yeah, I'm fine. Dana's a bit spooked, but she's calming down. What's going on?

-Dana jumps off the bunk and runs over to Wolf-

Dana: <Trainer's friend! What's the flashy-noise for?>

...O_O

Is there something we can do? Can we get to Pokepan to help?

-I begin wandering the Entralink in search of Star, occasionally stopping to rest against a tree-

How would we be able to reach it? And what could we do when we got there?

Shadow: <Is the teleporter network still active? You might be able to use that.>

-picks up Dana and starts stroking her soothingly- Just some bad Pokemon nearby. Don't worry, though. We're going to keep you safe, okay?

-Dana purrs and nuzzles him-

Dana: <At home with my mommy and daddy, if bad Pokemon showed up some nice Pokemon went BAM! and they went away. Will we go BAM! and make them go away?>

Do you need help? Hecate can put up an illusion around the base, if you like.

Teleporter network, huh?

-gets up-

Do you know where it is?

-shakes her head-

I don't have a clue, sorry.

Wha...WHAT?!

Woolly: <OH!>

Unite: <No...NO! NO! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGHHHHH!!!>

-Unite screeches at the top of his lungs.-

Unite: <THAT **** CAT AND THAT ****ING CENTIEPDE! AS IF ALL THE KILLING IN UNOVA WASN'T ****ING GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM!!!>

-Flare quickly covers Torchic's ears.-

Unite: <YOU KNOW WHAT! **** ARTEMIS AND **** SCOLIPEDE! I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE DS' AND ANOM'S POKéMON!! WHEN I GET MY TALONS ON THEM! I'M GONNA' **** AND **** AND THEN **** THEM SO HARD THAT THEY'RE ****ING **** WILL BE ON BACKWARDS!!!>

Treeo: <Jeez! Where did he learn such colourful language?!>

Woolly: <Unite! Calm down!>

Unite: <NO! I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! THOSE ****** HAVE PUSHED ME TOO FAR!>

-Unite turns to the horizon.-

Unite: <**** YOU ARTEMIS! AND **** YOU SCOLIPEDE! THIS MEANS WAR!!!>

-Even in his Lure Ball, Lake could hear the commotion outside.-

Lake: <What?! They're...They're in Kanto?!>

Feral!Lake: <See? This is what I was telling you about. Trust me, you really don't want to know what's going on over there...>

Lake: <...Was that why my chest was hurting? Was I picking up what was happening over there?>

Calm!Lake: <Yes, Lake. That your Heart of Gold reacting to all the pain and suffering over there. That's why you were in so much pain, you were emphasizing with all of the people and Pokémon affected by this attack.>

Lake: <...>

Calm!Lake: <...You know what you have to do, don't you?>

Lake: <...Yes. I do.>

That's exactly what we'll do, sweetie.

Hecate's help would be greatly appreciated. Our goal is to remain undetected, not to get involved in the conflict. I know you're not a member of the group, at least not yet, but we can use all the help we can get. If you're willing, that is.

Shadow? Sunny? Either of you know anything about it?

-Dana purrs a little louder-

-gets up-

'Course I'm willing. What, you expect me to sit here and do nothing?

Hecate, can you put up an illusion around the base? Make it look like it's not here?

-she nods and gets up, closing her eyes and concentrating-

... Y'know, I've never actually seen her use an Illusion at all, so I can only assume it's working.

-Shadow and Sunny both shake their heads-

Maybe someone else does. We should ask around.

-The Bulbasaur from earlier abandoned his plan to try and save Celadon once he saw Lanius had taken total control of it. He is now moving with the rest of the wild Pokemon out of Lanius' path-

Butterfree:<It's too bad those humans lost their city.>

Victreebel:<Wasn't their army supposed to arrive there?>

Butterfree:<They never came.>

Bulbasaur#2:<They deserve it for the way they treated us.>

Bulbasaur#1:<No one deserves to have their people murdered like that.>

Bulbasaur#2:<Why not? It those humans in black suits that came and took my family away. They deserve to be punished for all those things they did to us.>

Bulbasaur#1:<But not all humans are like that. I'm sure there are some that care about us.>

Bulbasaur#2:<It doesn't matter to me. All humans are the same. If you think there are humans that care about us, name one.

Bulbasaur#1:<...>

Bulbasaur#2:<That's what I thought.>

Good idea. -gets up and starts looking for someone who might know-

-Running over to Tagg and Luke-

"Dr. Tagg! Luke! We need to get going, now!"

<Milo: "Yeah, you two aren't going to believe what's going on out in Kanto!">

_________________

-Goldenrod City-

-A random trainer leaves an apartment building-

Trainer: "Power's still out... Oh well, at least I probably won't have to go to work today..."

-Notices a Mienshao on the corner-

Trainer: "Whoa! A Mienshao! Must. Catch! Go, Hibiscus!"

-Sends out a Meganium-

<Hibiscus: "Oh hey, ther-">

-Leering-

<Mienshao: "Unless if you want to get your human hurt, I suggest that you stop right here and now.">

<Hibiscus: "Huh? But it's just a friendly challenge to a battle! We just wanted to give you a chance to join our team!">

<Mienshao: "Yeah, and I'm not interested.">

<Hibiscus: "Then why did you come to a human city if you're going to be such a spoi-">

-A Hydreigon and a Beartic draw near and ring the trainer and Meganium-

<Hydreigon: "What's going on here?">

-Nervously-

Trainer: "What? But how?"

-Assuming a battle stance-

<Hibiscus: "Just what are you three up to?">

<Beartic: "Look bub, this isn't a trip to the local route!">

<Mienshao: "This is a military occupation!">

<Hydreigon: "And if you try any stupid stunts against us, we can and will hurt you!">

<Beartic: "Honestly, why on earth doesn't the General allow us to smack these twerps around? It would make everything so much easier...">

<Hydreigon: "You're more than welcome to seek reassignment to that Samurott. He doesn't care what his troops do...">

<Mienshao: "Isn't that the general who marches troops against sniper nests?">

<Beartic: "(*shudder*) Never mind, I can be a little patient...">

<Hibiscus: "M-Military occupation?">

Trainer: "Hibiscus? What's happening?"

<Mienshao: "Yes. As of 3 AM local time, this city entered occupation under our general. On behalf of our lords Scolipede and Liepard.">

<Hibiscus: "WHAT?!">

<Hydreigon: "You two are already treading on extremely thin ice as it is. What you did back there amounts to a provocation to attack.">

<Beartic: "You're free to go though, if your human's willing to follow a couple orders.">

<Hibiscus: "Wh-What do you want?">

<Mienshao: "Have your human surrender all of his empty Pokeballs. We don't need him to be able to pull a stunt like this with other troops.">

-The Meganium goes over to the trainer and begins to nervously prod him-

Trainer: "Hibiscus? What's going on? Did you want something? Something to eat?"

-The Meganium shakes his head rapidly-

Trainer: "What is it that you want then?"

-The Meganium nervously prods a Pokeball-

Trainer: "... You want a Pokeball? But, these guys don't look-"

-Prods the trainer hard-

Trainer: "Okay! Okay!"

-Sets the Pokeball on the ground-

-Is still prodded by the Meganium-

Trainer: "Wait, more? But why?"

-The process continues for a short while, until a small pile of Pokeballs are left on the street-

<Mienshao: "You two are free to go. Just keep in mind what you're dealing with here!">

-The Meganium hurriedly walks away, dragging his trainer with him-

<Hydreigon: "Alright, time to get rid of these stupid things...">

-Dragon Pulses the pile of Pokeballs-

-also gets up and follows Every-

Thanks. -hands Dana back to Crewe- Be a good girl, okay?

We need to get back to the mainland now, and please refrain from cussing in front of the children Unite.

-Is checking his laptop-

Hmm, there's a PEFE hotspot over here and-

-Finds the news-

Holy (Torchic happens to still have her ears covered) shit, that Samurott went and crucified people over at the Pokemon Center. They even have pictures!

-Hears Tracer-

We already know.

Dana: <Okay Trainer's friend!>

-absently scratches her, then sets her down on the bunk by Tweedle-

Anything else I can do? Or are we just sitting tight until we're attacked or whatever?

Goldenrod Radio Tower

-Some of the Nidorino going up the Radio Tower meet minor resistance which they swiftly dispose of, leaving it to the Ariados to hide the bodies somewhat. As they reach the higher floors, they see the Murkrows engaged in aerial battle, with a Zebstrika about to shoot Woodstock with an electric attack-

Nidorino (to the others) — <Engage! Push them to the windows!>

-Instantly one of the Nidorina blasts the Zebstrika with an Ice Beam, causing it to collapse against some equipment. The other Nidorin@ start shooting Sludge Bombs and Ice Beams against the attackers to give the 'krows some room-

Nidorina Leader (reaching under Crowley) — <Crowley! The maps Silent asked you for! Where are they?>

-Meanwhile, three Nidoran pop out of an air vent ready to try surprise attacks to cover the 'krows's potential retreat-

Nidoran Colony

Snubbull — <I'll follow you to the city and support you when you call me. Now, as for your mission...>

"We have gathered information that the city is under attack and humans there kept under check. For the welfare of the Colony, Silent has sent us information about humans with key knowledge and skills we need to survive. Your assignment, Roa, is to retrieve the human in this picture."

"As you see, it is blank. When you reach the city borders, use your poison to unveil the picture, memorize its features and destroy it. You must locate this human, who is as Silent is to us except with Eevees. Then you must lead him safely out of the city and towards Ecruteak. For your mission you have here some Oran Berries, as well as this special technique which will allow you to discover enemy attacks."

-Roa gets TM43 -- Detect!-

-Vinollo steps forwards and Snubbull bows.

Vinollo — <This is a mission of the utmost importance, child. For this reason, you will be given special support... by our ranks. Lemme demonstrate.>

-Vinollo points his branded paw to the sky, and holds it in that position, clenched, for an instant-

Vinollo — <When you are facing direct opposition, raise your branded paw to the light of u Frithrah. Our troops will come to support you with a rain of poison, or dive to the ground to face the opposition themselves to enable your escape. Be careful though, as the city is under curfew and thus we must not draw unneeded attention to ourselves. Here, try it.>

-Vinollo and the Snubbull stand back-

Dept. Store Basement

-I climb the elevator shaft with my Pokémon, ready to enter the third floor-

Any Pokemon that can breathe underwater, or don't need to breathe at all are being sent to head them off. Other than that...we're pretty much sitting tight and taking out anything that sees us.

Mossdeep Channel

-Raichu and Galvantula squads have finally dispatched the Wailord pod that delayed the fleet-

Commander Floatzel: <Status!>

Sneasel: <Ships 9 and 17 are taking on water; best we can do is beach them on a shoal before they capsize. They remaining five ships are able to proceed, with minor denting.>

Commander Floatzel: <Ugh... the General is unresponsive, again? Fine, do it. And then, get the fighters off the beached ships. Transfer non-essential support staff to the wrecks to wait out this attack. This has been a setback, we need to strike as hard as we can now.>

Sneasel: <Yes, sir!>

PEFE HQ

Tangent's Computer Monitor: -Pidgey now shows Tagg's, Tracer's, and Luke's statuses as "available"-

Oh! Please work... -attempts to start 4-way video call-

- At the castle -

Artemis: (yawns) <So, what is going on, Mienshao?>

Mira: <An invasion of Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn, my queen.>

Artemis: <Really?>

Mira: <Yes, my queen. We must show everyone who is in charge.>

Artemis: <Ah, of course. How clever.>

Mira: <... You do not seem very excited about this news, my queen.>

Artemis: <Meh, I'm just tired... Everything that has happened lately has me all worn out...>

Mira: (pets Artemis) <It's all right, my queen. You should take some time to relax.>

Artemis: <... Do you think the Resistance is up to something? I think they're up to something. Do we have enough security around here?>

Mira: <Ssh... Relax, my queen. I will not let anything happen to you.>

Artemis: <... You're so loyal.> (sighs)

Mira: <... Would you feel safer if I tried contacting some of the stronger minions of ours that are still patrolling Unova, telling them to come back here and guard the castle instead of fighting the pig?>

Artemis: <... That would be nice.>

Mira: (nods) <Okay then. I will see what I can do.>

"What on earth do we do now, Dr. Tagg?"

<Guy: "Yeah, don't we also have to figure something out with those Gym Leaders, too?">

-Gets a call on phone-

"Huh? But who-?"

_________________

-In front of the entrance to the Radio Tower, with a group of about 40 Pokemon-

<Sceptile: "I can't believe this, who on earth would want a non-functioning radio tower?!">

<Zoroark: "Look, you know the drill. We go in. Figure out who on earth has been picking a fight, and beat the tar out of them!">

-The group abruptly vanishes-

<??? #1: "Keep your eyes open for potential attackers! There's tons of places to hide in there!">
