ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Every sits next to Mezzo-

Today felt like it went by really fast....I wonder why?

-leans against the tree, falling asleep soon after-

-A few hours ago, on Quest Island-

<Vlad: "Do you suppose that we did the right thing leaving the others to help move those people and Pokemon back on their own?">

<Kammy: "I'm sure they'll be fine...">

<Guy: "We left Mike with them!">

<Leana: "They'll keep him in line... I hope...">

<Kat: "Are you sure that it's a good idea to lump these cretins into that adoption program out in Kanto?">

"Well... It can't be any worse than dumping them unconscious in a ravine here..."

<Kit: "Do you think that those Marowak were happy with the TMs that we offered them?">

<Kat: "I hope so! Those were still experimental!">

<Milo: "Eh. At least the trip went without a hi-">

<Random!Skarmory #1: "Why are we hunting them again? There's so many of them!">

<Random!Skarmory #2: "Because they're in all likelihood with that demon, that's why!">

<Milo: "Crud.">

-Six leering Skarmory appear before the group-

<Random!Skarmory #1: "But they won't be easy prey!">

<Random!Skarmory #3: "Getting to eat them is beside the point! The main thing is to kill them!">

<Random!Skarmory #4: "Yeah! I'm tired of having to hide my nest in out of the way corners! My chicks need to get their feathers toughened!">

<Gligar!Vlad: "We're not with that awful Zoroark! We swear!">

<Vesta: "I thought that you guys didn't know who traveled with that creep anyways!">

<Random!Skarmory #1: "Um... Well... We don't... It's just that we know that there's always many voices whenever the demon comes...">

<Teala: "But we defeated him! He's no longer any danger to you!">

<Random!Skarmory #3: "Do you expect us to believe that?!">

<Random!Skarmory #4: "You're not from here and you're traveling in a large group. That's pretty suspicious right there.">

<Nadia: "Grr... You have no idea what you're getting into...">

<Kyle: "Yeah, if you think that you can take us on, you're sorely mistaken...">

<Iron Marrow: "You're outnumbered and outmatched, fiends. You'd be wise to believe us and leave safely while you can.">

<Random!Skarmory #1: "Um... Maybe we shouldn't... I mean... What if they-">

<Random!Skarmory #5: "Enough of this dawdling! Get them!">

-The six lunge at different Pokemon accompanying us, one at Buster, one at Iron Marrow, one at Guy, one at Milo, one at Teala, and one at me-

<Random!Skarmory #4: "This is for my chicks, you vile crea-">

<Shaun: "LEAVE HIM ALONE! ">

-Uses Discharge-

-Rushing Guy-

<Random!Skarmory #6: "What on earth is that plumage suppo- ACK!">

-Is Hydro Pump'd out of sky by Kammy, and then Fire Fang'd by Vlad-

-Attempting to attack Iron Marrow-

<Random!Skarmory #5: "You're mine, lizard!">

<Iron Marrow: "You presume much to think that you stand a chance against me!">

-Whallops the Skarmory with a Fire Punch-

<Random!Skarmory #2: "Your head will make a fine trophy, reptile!">

<Teala: "You'll have to take it first!">

-Uses Flamethrower-

-Viciously jabbing Buster's abdomen-

<Buster: "AUGH!">

<Random!Skarmory #3: "Know your place, bu- AAAAAAAAH!">

-Is hit by a Discharge by Vesta-

<Vesta: "Who do you think you are, anyways?!">

-While attempting to attack Milo-

<Random!Skarmory #1: "Just leave us- EEEEEEK!">

-Is Fire Blasted by Kyle and Nadia-

<Kyle: "When did you pick that up?">

<Nadia: "It was the night before the attack on that palace. It wasn't too horrible, was it?">

<Kyle: "No, it actually seems alright. Especially if you haven't been using it much...">

-The six Skarmory are subdued-

<Random!Skarmory #1: "Ugh... (*whimper*) N-No! D-Don't k-kill us!">

<Random!Skarmory #4: "Nngh... Pl-Please! M-My chicks a-aren't fl-fledged! Th-They'll die if someone d-doesn't care for them!">

<Random!Skarmory #2: "D-Don't you h-have any h-heart? W-We just want to be left to b-be here!">

<Milo: "We told you already! We're not with that Zoroark!">

<Buster: "Nngh... My head...">

<Random!Skarmory #3: "Urgh... B-But... I didn't attack your head...">

_________________________

-Now, at the Entralink-

<Aloysius: "Wow... Sounds like Quest Island was rough on you guys today...">

<Nathan: "Yeah, our day was so easy compared to that...">

<Mike: "Darn it, I should have come!">

<Buster: "... Isn't there any good news about us from the other timeline?">

<Guy: "Yeah, that's three of us who aren't alive in it!">

<Buster: "I still can't believe that I managed to get killed and the dipwad didn't!">

<Shaun: "... I'll admit that what we found out was troubling... But what good will it do to worry about it?">

<Zoe: "... It is kinda late...">

<Teala: "(*yawn*) Maybe we should all get some rest...">

<Vesta: "Yeah... Worrying about this whole timeline business at this hour can't exactly be healthy...">

"... Goodnight, everyone..."

-Everyone uneasily heads off to find places to sleep-

-Thinking-

"... Could this matter get any less easy to try and sort out? What on earth are we supposed to do? Even if we somehow win?"

Good night. Posting will likely remain erratic until Saturday, then go straight back to erratic. Will attempt to run one final throwdown between Richard and Michael on Friday morning.

-Reaches the end of the bridge (It's a long bridge) and heads into the interior of Mt Pyre-

-wakes up-

That was the weirdest dream...

- Goggles and Chase are sending out some of the Resistance members to help with the rebuilding of Unova, while also discussing with some of the other Resistance members what else can be done -

- Meanwhile, DS' Sinnoh team have briefly gone over to check on Artemis -

HotStuff: <... So, Wolf told you about DS?>

Artemis: <Well, yes. I asked so...>

HotStuff: <... I see.>

Briar Rose: <Don't worry, Artemis. We'll help Wolf find DS, and fix things so that you and Mira can be together again!>

Artemis: <... Thanks guys.> (sighs) <Still... I'm nervous about seeing Mira again once this is all over...>

Wings: <Well, having memories of ones own death must be awkward...>

Artemis: <... Wolf said that Mira would still love me, but... I still feel like I should apologize to her, since it was my fault that she died...>

Briar Rose: <Don't worry, I'm sure she'll forgive you!> (smiles)

-Sometime after waking up, in the Entralink-

-Nadia is off on her own, thinking-

<Nadia: "... I never thought that any of this would have happened to me before this month...">

<Toothless: "What part in particular?">

<Nadia: "All of it. That there'd be a time where I'd be a complete stranger to Tracer, that I'd have to actually worry about whether or not I and everyone that I love would live to see the next day, that suddenly what happened to me when I evolved and in those weeks afterwards would seem so insignificant compared to everything else...">

<Toothless: "Oh, so you've gotten over what happened to you before we met?">

<Nadia: "As much as I can't believe that I'm saying this, yes. I won't pretend that I don't have unpleasant memories of my first weeks as a Salamence, or that I still don't care for that Hydreigon, but... After everything that we've been through together, it just seems so pointless to try and keep myself upset with them...">

<Toothless: "Are you ready for this final confrontation? At least, I hope it's the final one...">

<Nadia: "Honestly, I don't think that I am... I'm not sure if I'm going to be ready for whatever happens...">

<Toothless: "Worried about Lake?">

<Nadia: "Well, yes... But it's more than that... I'm worried for all of those people and Pokemon that we met in this time... I'm worried that if we win, we'll somehow make everything worse off for them...">

<Toothless: "Well... I can't promise you that they'll turn out alright... But... It's worth a shot, isn't it?">

<Nadia: "I guess... Wait... I've been spacing out again, haven't I?">

<Toothless: "Actually, I think you have.">

<Nadia: "Maybe I should just talk to you in the open...">

The Entralink

Woolly: <Unite, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this...>

Unite: <Why not? It's not like you're doing it to him again.>

Woolly: <Yeah, but I feel bad just reminding him.>

Unite: <It's the only way he might be able to remember, though.>

Woolly: <...I guess.>

Unite: <Look. You're not being cruel by doing this, you're just trying to help him. Besides...I'll be there to help you. 'Kay?>

Woolly: <...Okay.>

Unite: <Right. Have you got the Jello?>

Woolly: <Yep. Cinder helped me make it.>

Unite: <Cool. Okay, he's over there. Let's do this.>

-The Ampharos and the Braviary go over and sit by Jello, who's currently floating in mid-air with his eyes closed in some sort of trance.-

Unite: <Hey, Reuniclus? You there?>

-Jello opens his eyes slightly.-

Jello: <Yes. I'm here. Do you need-?>

-The Reuniclus then notices that Woolly has a bowl of some sort of green gel.-

Jello: <...What is that?>

Woolly: <This? It's just some lime Jello. It's not Reuniclus gel or anything like that. If it was, I wouldn't be able to eat it.>

-Woolly pulls out a spoon, then scoops up a chunk of jello and eats it.-

Woolly: <See? Mmm.>

Jello: <Well, of course you wouldn't be able to eat it if it was Reuniclus gel. If it was, you would probably be gagging...And spitting...It out...

...>

Unite: <...Are you alr->

Jello: <AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!>

...

Unite: <...I think it worked.>

Woolly: <Yeah.>

- The Entralink -

- After talking with Artemis, DS' Sinnoh team are now wandering around the Entralink, not doing anything in particular -

-Still alone-

<Toothless: "Maybe you should go and talk with someone, Nadia.">

-Thinking-

<Nadia: "Yeah... I think I'd like that...">

-Goes off-

____________________

-Elsewhere in the Entralink, watching people and Pokemon stream through the portals towards Unova-

<Kammy: "I didn't know that we had helped to get so many of them out...">

<Shaun: "Yeah, it's pretty amazing...">

<Kammy: "What's going to happen to them all? To this region?">

<Shaun: "I'm sure that Unite and his compatriots are thinking something over... I think it had something to do with setting up some sort of provisional government...">

<Kammy: "Where are the others again?">

<Shaun: "They're helping, look.">

-Points off at Teala, Vesta, and Aloysius standing watch over a portal with a large column of people and Pokemon moving through-

<Kammy: "So we might not get to see each other for much longer...">

<Shaun: "I know... It seems so hard to believe that we're actually from different times... Especially after all of the things we've gone through together...">

<Kit: "To be fair... There is a way for us all to stay in touch... Even if we can't do so physically...">

<Kammy: "Kit? Wait, what are you and the other Marowak doing here?">

<Kat: "We took a little break.">

<Iron Marrow: "Surely there's nothing wrong with that...">

<Shaun: "No, there isn't...">

<Kammy: "So what was this about staying in touch?">

<Iron Marrow: "Well... If the rube is referring to what I think she's referring to...">

- DS' Sinnoh team continue wandering around, not doing anything in particular -

Sparq: <... I'm bored.>

HotStuff: <... Maybe we should go find someone to talk to? We haven't really spoken much to any of the other trainers' Pokémon these last few days.>

Jello: <AAAHHH!!! What's happening?! I was at the Safari Zone, then there was this roar and a huge flash, and them I'm back in Unova and there's this Resistance and all this fighting and then you guys showed up and oh, Arceus it's like being a Duosion all over again and->

Woolly: <JELLO! Calm down!>

-Jello stops, staring at Woolly and Unite blankly.-

Jello: <But...I'm scared!>

Unite: <...We're all scared, Jello. We've all been scared for a long time.>

Woolly: <That's right. But...You don't need to worry so much now. We got rid of Napoleon, and Artemis and Scolipede have their memories back. Besides, I've seen you fighting! You were SO brave!>

Jello: <...I was, wasn't I?>

Unite: <It takes guts to take on a bunch of Pokémon that have a type advantage against you. Not that anything like that would matter to you, seeing that you tossed a building at them...>

Woolly: <But you know what? If you want to be afraid, you can be. Things have been really rough recently, and we still have a little while to go until we're in the clear. But that's okay. Because you know what?>

Jello: <...What?>

Woolly: <No matter how bad things get...We're going to get through it together. I promise.>

...

Jello: <...Okay. I'll remember that.

...Thank you, Woolly.>

Woolly: <No problem.>

Jello: <Oh, thank you two, Unite.>

Unite: <Just doing my job!>

Jello: -Looks awkward.- <Um...Can I have a hug?>

Unite: -Eyes go wide.- <!!! Er...>

Woolly: <I'll hug you, Jello.>

-Woolly warps her arms around the Reuniclus and hugs him.-

Jello: <Thanks Woolly.>

Woolly: <Again, no problem. Ooh, you're so squashy.>

Unite: -Sighs.- <She's going to need a bath after this...>

-Nadia is continuing to wander around-

<Nadia: "Aww... Is he busy?">

<Toothless: "Well, you could always try talking to someone other than Lake, too... I mean it is a big world out there...">

- DS' Sinnoh team are also still looking around for someone to talk to -

-Lake's swimming in the waters surrounding the Entralink again when he sees Nadia wandering around by herself.-

Lake: <Ooh...She looks worried. I should really go and talk to her.>

-The Feraligatr climbs out of the water and heads over to her.-

Lake: <Hi. Are you okay? You look worried about something.>

-Spotting Lake emerge from the water-

<Nadia: "Oh! Lake! Um... Actually, I kinda am...">

Lake: <Aww...>

-Lake strokes Nadia's neck gently.-

Lake: <What's the matter, then? Maybe it's something I might be able to fix.>

-To Lake-

<Nadia: "It's just that... I'm worried about what's going to happen to us when we finally have to go off to fight that horrid man...">

Lake: <Oh...Well, we're all worried about that. Sure, it'll be all of us and Reshiram abnd Zekrom against him, so we have the number advantage. But...He does have Dialga and Celebi. And we both know what he did to DS...

...So it's hard not to be worried...>

-To Lake-

<Nadia: "... And even if we win... What happens to everyone that we've met here?">

- DS' Sinnoh team walk over, overhearing the conversation -

HotStuff: <... So, you two are also somewhat worried about the upcoming battle against Cyrus, huh?>

Lake: -To Hotstuff.- <Yeah. We are.> -Sighs.- <The others are worried about it, too. Some of us have even considered staying here so that they don't get wiped out or something.

And as nice an idea that is, it wouldn't work. We don't belong in this world.>

-To Hotstuff-

<Nadia: "And it wouldn't solve what's wrong... Even if we stayed in this time, if that man is free to do as he wishes... What's to keep him from merely destroying this time as well?">

HotStuff: (sighs) <I'm not really sure what we're supposed to do here... I wish some of the other legendaries were around, maybe they'd know what to do about this...>

Lake: <Yeah. Shame he had to go and get rid of them somehow.

I wonder where they all are? And wherever they've gone...Are they alright?>

HotStuff: (shrugs) <Who knows?>

Briar Rose: <Oh, I'm sure they're all right!>

HotStuff: <... If only there was a way to bring the legendary Pokémon back... But, if even they can't escape from wherever they are, then I guess there's not much chance that we could help them out...>
