ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-To Zoroark Red-

You're not.

-To Tangent-

Yes, we heard, and we need to get to the mainland as quickly as possible.

Believe me, I wish I didn't have to...

Erm, yes. Is there a tunnel that can get to Johto, Kanto, or Hoenn?

Please don't knock me out again...

Meter Clan Tunnels

Arbok: <Oh, a new tunnel hasssss opened up now? Thessssse are ssssso dissssorienting!>

<Tell me... where do you thhhhhhink you are going?>

Entralink Tunnel

Hydreigon Marrow: -stares Every down for a second-

<Yes, there are. Scratch knows the full list, but I know of routes to Celadon City and Mossdeep City. Don't be clumsy and reveal them to anyone.>

PEFE HQ

Right... I don't know where you've put all those portals, but the tribe has tunnels, right?

If you still have the single-portal gun, you can stop by here to refresh, at least. But I would not advise taking a boat while they've got the ports controlled... we're still working on that one.

Bill: <I...I don't know! I'm just trying to find someone that can help us, 'cause that nasty Scolipede and Lipeard are attacking Goldenrod! Please! You have to help me! My Boss and all my friends are in danger!>

Good point, Tangent.

-To Tagg.- Should we head over to the HQ first, then?

Unite: <I don't mind as long as we're quick about it! People are dying out there!>

-after Hydreigon Marrow's warning- Of course not.

Celadon, huh?

Well yeah, going by boat would just be plain stupid. I suppose we can use the Cubone space tunnels after we make it back to the HQ and start planning.

-Paints a section of the canyon wall with Conversion Gel and shoots open a portal after retrieving the Gym Leaders offscreen-

Let's go then.

-Walks in-

Entralink Tunnel

Hydreigon Marrow: <Very well... Jump down the cliff, then...>

-yelling- <THREEDOT! SHOW THIS HUMAN TO THE CELADON TUNNEL!>

Goldenrod Tunnel

Arbok: <Easssssy thhhhhere... Ssssso... the rumblingssss are true.>

<Who do you hope to sssseek help from?>

Hoenn Route 120

-Lelouch leads his army northwards-

PEFE HQ

-the orange portal leads into a repurposed test chamber; as the people enter, the side wall opens up and several light bridges extend across a chasm and into the Badminton Court, which has now been filled with projectors, monitors, and computers driving them-

-Roa continues her search for Bill's house-

Somewhere in Goldenrod

-Among the wild Pokémon who are still making their lives in the north side of the City, a random Nidorino slowly makes his way... looking for someone... to lead him away... His mission is important, he must succeed...-

-The Nidorino randomly follows some Pokémon down a back alley, and pretends to wander around lost or disinterested to avoid having to engage in combat, walking with his ears flattened and his head straight, being careful to head to a closer plaza afterwards, where other Nidos gather to look for sunlight spots, some grass, or human attention-

-With several Nidos living on the streets, this Nidorino goes to a patch of grass and digs his paws in, to give himself a slightly busy and unclean appearance that helps him blend with the populace, as well as hiding the small brand in the back of his foreleg-

-The Nidorino returns to the back alleys and looks for a way to reach the western side of the city.-

Somewhere in Hoenn

-Some Pokémon are making their lives as they can, living a depressing life ever since the flooding, the flying ones commenting on weird things happening beyond the mountain walls, when a random Sandshrew climbs to a tree and addresses them-

Dintel — <Listen to me, all! I bring news!>

-Several Pokémon make a pause in their activities to listen to the Sandshrew-

Dintel — <The creature from the sky can has talk to me. We must prepare!> — raises a clenched paw to the sky — <For Lelouch vi Brittania, our Doom!>

"The who?"

"What?"

"Sounds crazy"

"Doom?"

"Lelandra who?"

"What are you talking about?"

Dintel (points at random members of the audience) — <Why waste your lives like this, as if you were merely waiting for an end to come? Why, when we march towards our doom!>

"Meh"

"We could just stay here and die, anyway"

<No! You must listen! Lelouch vi Britannia, our Doom, soars the sky to bring doom and is huggable. We can all has be prepared to meet him!>

"...Will he bring our doom?"

"What the [REDACTED] are you talking about? You wanna us go meet him?"

<Yes!> — leaps to the other side of the tree and points paw to the sun — <Why wait here? We shall go meet him! And hug him until he condemns us to our Dooms!>

"...Sure, why not?"

"What is that Lelouch thing anyway?"

"Hey! It's better than staying here!"

"It's better to fight as we can than to just stay here apathetic..."

"Yeah! We'll show that thing our 'hugs'!"

"Let's go!"

"Yeah!"

Dintel — <Let's go welcome our Doom with a hug!>

-Several Pokémon start arranging themselves for a long travel, while Dintel looks around proud, not understanding that things have not happened exactly as he was instructed to make them...-

Goldenrod City Nidocave

-Some of the interns are trying to reroute some of the city's emergency power supply to the communication lines-

Intern Rodríguez — I think I'm almost ready with the audio link. It's the better I can do in these conditions...

Intern Orenda — Fine. Reroute us through Elm's lab. That place should still be clean.

-Meanwhile Timbú arrives with some materials-

Intern Timbú — Guys! Dëvich is caught at the University!

Intern Orenda — What? Is he OK?

Intern Timbú — I don't know, but from what I gather, — shows a small beeper-like device — his controller is still transmitting. With some luck, we will be able to find out exactly what is happening in there.

Intern Orenda (crosses arms) — I hope we can get a shot on a name, at least, of who is trying to hold this city up. — to Rodríguez — How is that link coming up?

Intern Rodríguez — The line is slow, but I think I have it... I'll hail a SOS...

Intern Orenda — Don't! That could be interecepted! — thinks for a moment — Try and hail the signal we used to send when we had specimens ready to send to PEFE.

Intern Rodríguez — ...Good idea! Trying it!

-Meanwhile, two Nidorina and some kits observe from above, hidden-

Goldenrod Tunnel

Bill: <I don't know, Boss didn't say anything specific.But there a re so many of them! We might need thousands of mons just to push them back!

...Do you know where I could find that many mons that would be willing to help?>

PEFE HQ

Lake: <Wow. Tangent's been busy.>

No kidding.

Harriet: <Whoa! Look at this stuff!>

Woolly: <Cool!>

Stratus: <Awesome!>

Treeo: <Um...How are supposed to get across?>

Oh, you can walk on these Light Bridges, Treeo.

-I step onto the bridge.-

See?

Treeo: <...Okay, something tells me that really shouldn't be possible. But whatever. I'm not fussed.>

Flare: <Hey! Less yakking, more moving! Let's go!>

-We all head across the bridge.-

-Roa joins a small group of Nidos for a short while as a few passing troops walk by, scuffing up dirt to cover her brand. Turning down an alley, she looks in a few windows and sees no sign of Bill, then continues walking, occasionally sniffing at a trash can to appear to be scavenging to any passersby-

We've got to figure out a way to get to Kanto.

Aurora:<We could use the tunnels.>

The tunnels? You mean the ones we used to get here?

Aurora:<Yes. There's probably a way into Kanto from there.>

Good idea. Let's go.

-Aurora, Crescent, Naida, and I head off toward the tunnels, picking up Zero on the way-

(To Hydreigon Marrow) Erm....okay. -jumps down the cliff-

Goldenrod Tunnel

Arbok: <Thhhhere'ssss the Resss- no, thhhey probably are bussssy to meet more ssstrangersss right now...>

<Thhhe placcce thhhat gave thhhem weaponssss... maybe...>

-starts leading Bill to the tunnel leading to the PEFE portal-

Entralink Tunnel

Hydreigon Marrow: <Oh, another human... what do YOU want?>

Below tunnel ledge

-Stealth Rocks intercept Every's fall and slow his decent-

Yellow Threedot: <Hey, did I... see you before?>

Fortree City

-Lelouch's army approaches the Route 120 side-

PEFE HQ

Hey! Are those... Gym Leaders?!

-Walks across the bridge-

So now that we're here, I guess we can use the Entralink to access those space tunnels so we can reach Kanto.

-To Tagent-

Yeah, we brought them with us.

Saffron City limits

-Lanius' forces march towards Saffron City under the command of Vulpes-

Vulpes: <Remember our orders, kill or crucify anyone who dares oppose us.>

-At that moment all hell breaks loose as a hastily put together militia comes out to engage their forces-

I'm trying to get to Kanto. Is there a way to get there using the tunnel?

Below Tunnel Ledge

Maybe...I've been here a few times.

At Fortree

-a few dozen Trainers step out to block the army-

Trainer 1: If you think you're just going to walk in and take Fortree, you've got another think coming! Everyone, send out your mons!

-The Trainers send out their teams. The teams are made up mostly of Swellow, Pelipper, and Linoone, with the odd Absol or Tropius, and even a few Kecleon-

Trainer 2: Let's see you get through us!

Goldenrod Tunnel

Bill: <Oh, yay! Thank you, Mister Arbok!>

-Bill flies after the Arbok.-

PEFE HQ

Unite: <Hey, Nice place you've got here.>

Woolly: <Is this where you two went through all those tests?>

Lake: -Nods. <Yeah, it was.>

Cinder: <Accept that there was a snarky computer making jabs at our weight and trying to kill us as well.>

Woolly: <...Right.>

Have you heard anything about what's happening in Celadon at the moment, Tangent?

-A patrol comprised of a Stoutland, two Patrat and a Klang make a turn around a corner, after having forced a human to stay inside her house, and notice Roa checking some trash cans-

Stoutland — <I'm getting tired of seeing so many Nidoran clumsily walking around here. We should have her return to her forest.>

Klang — <Sure, Sergeant?>

Patrat #1 — <Well, our orders are to check under every stone. Besides, it's cleaner for all of us if we can keep the streets as void of Pokémon presence as we can.>

Stoutland — <Yeah... Klang, go talk to her...>

-The Klang moves slowly towards Roa and announces itself with a screech-

Roa — <Hey, pincushion! Leave that trashcan alone! You are like the tenth rabbit to have checked it!>

-The two Patrat walk in and stand in either side of the street-

Dept. Store Rooftops, in the Time Shenanigan'd near future

-There are battle noises coming from inside the building. Suddenly, all the windows in the 5th floor shatter, and Pokéteco flies away towards the Gym carrying a bag with supplies as well as the Royal Evo armors. Magneton goes to the outside too, to float up to the rooftop where after one-shooting a random Cinccino? guard, he stands above the elevator shaft to magnetize it-

-Some seconds later, Maekrite, Venomoth and me emerge at the rooftop, closely followed by a group of Pokémon. While Maekrite shoots two Ice Beams to distract them, I reach the edge of the building and throw some smoke bombs behind me. After recalling both of my Pokémon to their balls, I stand at the edge, ready to take a leap of faith at the streets below...-

Lunchtime

-Roa looks up from the can, startled, and forces herself not to assume a battle stance. Instead, she looks innocently at the surrounding Pokemon and steps away from the can-

Roa: <Oh, uh, sure. I'm sorry, I wasn't aware others had already come here...>

-she glanced around at the troops, sizing them up in case of a fight-

Fighting is a bad idea. Just get out of here.

Roa: <I'll just... be going, then.>

-she takes a few steps towards the exit of the alley-

Hours ago

Stands at the Route 15 entrance to Black City

Now is the time to charge, I suppose. Presses a button to once again lock down Black City Now, we cannot turn back.

Turns to face West.

Heh...Let's throw one hell of a party, Guys!

Rides off on a makeshift motorbike with a small army towards Nimbasa.

Casval surveys the remaining structure of Nimbasa then addresses his vice-commander, a cloaked figure about half the size of the Commander.

It really was one hell of a battle here I suppose. Have Squad 5 through 9, stay here and await commands. Should you find any survivors, help them out, but that's all. Those who don't obey are to stay here. We don't need sentiments in the upcoming battles. Within 1 hour, regroup, and join up with the main force.

Understood

Entralink Tunnel

Hydreigon Marrow: <yes, yes, run and follow that other human...>

Below Ledge

Yellow Threedot: <Um, yeah! Hydra knocked you out and sent you here on rocks...>

PEFE Portal Tunnel

Arbok: <Here isssss the placcce.>

Through Portal

-the twins have been put on Cubone reception duty-

Boldo: <Hey Mint! Peoplemons!>

Mint: <Oooh, I'll tell Mom!>

"War Room"

Celedon... is... *swallows* kinda strewn with crucified bodies...

Which is why we need to get the tide turned as soon as we can! We've started to get Portal Gun production properly ramped up, and probably have more Turrets than we need already.

But we don't have the infrastructure to deliver them yet, and that's where things are hurting... I'm fitting some of the stockier boats for a port-busting operation, but that won't be finished until tomorrow, it looks...

-Mint flies in through the open wall-

Mint: <Hey! A Murkrow just showed up at the Space Tunnel Portal!>

Fortree City

-the troops pause; a Chatot flies ahead to translate for their General-

Lelouch: <Charming, a defense force... I am generous today, so let it be known- I offer you the chance to surrender now.> -makes a signal-

-the Lombre launch multiple Sunny Day effects, blanketing the area with intense light-

edited 19th Aug '11 1:37:21 PM by Tangent128

-Mezzo, Sunny, and Shadow have been following Every through the tunnel the whole time-

Every...I'm nervous. What are we going to find on the other side? What if something happens to you?

Sunny: <Whatever it is, we can handle it.>

But I've never even been to Kanto. What if we get lost?

Sunny: <Don't worry so much. Everything will be fine.>

Shadow: <You just keep thinking that.>

Okay.

-Runs in the direction Every went-

-Anom is still in search of Star-
