ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

I have no idea, Tagg. What do you mean?

Well, I've got some research to do and some leagues to officially beat.

And get therapy.

You?

-Notices DS and Wolf coming over-

Oh, hey guys.

Oh! You mean in the regular timeline?

...I have no clue. I didn't have much planned ahead in my life...

I've been pretty depressed, though. I'd like to find a way to fix that.

Hi Tagg! Hi Anom!

I think I'm going to need some fixing myself. Kanto was not good for me at all.

-To DS-

We've got a lot to catch up on don't we, since you've been AWOL for a month.

-Notices the scar-

Where'd you get that?

Oh.

...

AU!Mezzo: You really shouldn't be that surprised.

No! Shut up! I'm done dealing with you!

AU!Mezzo: What, are you gonna cry? Gonna come running back to your boyfriend? Look at yourself.

What do you want now?

AU!Mezzo: I used to be someone. I wasn't afraid to take charge of the situation. And then you came in.

What do you mean?

AU!Mezzo: Don't you get it? You changed everything! You turned me from a competent commander into a worthless little girl who can't go anywhere without her boy! Don't you get what that means?

...

AU!Mezzo: Then let me tell you. You were weak. You were always weak. So get out of my body, bitch. I've had enough of your tears. Go back to your little happy place and let someone capable fix things.

Fine. The timeline will be fixed and I'll be free of you. Is that what you want?

AU!Mezzo: Yes, that's what I want. You make me sick, knowing that you're the kind of person I could have been.

The feeling is mutual.

Inside Maekrite's Mind?

-the lights of the Nidoran angels fuse together, releasing little sparks that draw faint, ephemeral trails in the ground. They finally glow into a singular shape, a strange blue and orange light-

Judicious Nidoran♂ Angel — "We are you. All of you. We will be watching you and giving you counsel, but this battle is for you to fight. However, we are not leaving you emptypawed."

-Beyond both Maekrite, a singular figure forms from the light, slowly materializing into a small quadruped figure-

Judicious Nidoran♂ Angel — "This is a message left behind by our ancestors, and the ancestors of our ancestors. We are in a place faraway from home, victorious and healed, at the sight of the Gods and the presence of an important event."

-a voice emerges from everywhere around. Both Maekrite turn around to face the strange figure, who has materialized into a nondescript Nidoran hidden by the blight. However, as the light subsides, distinct features are revealed on the pale blue skin and fur of the Pokémon there. -

-Red stripes, following his veins, brand his body and spine. From his whiskers and spikes, sparks of white power emerge, falling to the ground and dissolving there. Weird tendrils of a light-yellow light wander around surrounding him-

-Both Maekrite bodies start shining with the blue and orange light-

Judicious Nidoran♂ Angel — "We are Pokémon. We exist for the battle. That's what we did, that's what we do, that's what we will do. However, we are not restricted to be mere animals. No, we have been given knowledge, emotion and willpower."

-The night Nidoran nods and walks ahead-

-the Nidoran steps back and dissolves into light-

-Both Maekrite are blinded by a light, as the other Nidoran dissolves into millions of shards and tendrils of light-

Judicious Nidoran Angel — "Many enemies await. They are neither Pokémon or human. Sadness, Shame, Sorrow and Solitude. You shall protect both Silents from them. Against them, go fetch this new weapon. When our human falls, it will allow you to still fight for him."

In the Real World

-Maekrite suddenly awakens from a weird stupor-

????!Maekrite — <I'm here... but... what?> — looks towards a random direction, following a tendril of yellow light that probably only he can see — <Why can I see this light?>

Yeah... I guess we do have a few things to catch up on.

- Touching my scar -

And this? Well, I got it during my failed attempt to calm down Giratina in this timeline.

Cinder: <It's nearly over, then.>

Lake: <Yeah, almost time for us to leave.> -Looks at Cinder.- <So...What are you going to do next?>

Cinder: <Well...I'm going to ask Luke if we can go back to New Bark Town. There's a certain Meganium I'd like to see again.>

Lake: -Smiles.- <That sounds lovely. I'm sure Basil will be overjoyed to see you again.>

Cinder: -Also smiles.- <At least I know for sure that she can be safe now. Thanks to you and your friends, of course.>

Lake: <And you. You were a huge help too, you know.>

Cinder: <Nah...I didn't do as much as you guys.>

Lake: <Yes you did! You been a great help throughout this whole thing. Especially at that PEFE HQ. I couldn't have done that without you, that's for sure.>

Cinder: <Oh. Sorry for being so snarky there.>

Lake: <It's alright. I know how you were feeling then, so I don't blame you for being like that towards me.>

Cinder: <Alright. So...What's next for you?>

Lake: <I dunno. But I probably won't be doing anything for a while. I am looking forward to being able to spend some time with my friends, and Nadia, without having to worry, though.>

Cinder: <You really love her, don't you?>

Lake: <...More than anything.> -Looks at Cinder.- <I hope Basil makes her as happy as she makes me.>

Cinder: <Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Promise.>

Lake: -Grins.- <Cool.>

-Feels a twinge of regret that's probably coming from my AU self-

I'm sorry that that happened to you DS. What happened in Sinnoh was just horrible.

-Happens to be still wearing my nearly ripped apart hoodie-

I think I'm going to need a new one of these. Preferably in dark green.

-looking at the sky-

So everything's finally going to be fixed...

Yeah.

The other me...she'll be gone after this, right? I never want to talk to her again.

...No idea. I hope so though...I don't much like myself from this timeline either.

How come? You didn't do any of the things that she did...that I did...

- Looking at Tagg and Anom, as well as glancing over at Wolf again -

... I see I'm clearly not the only one who has had a rough time since this started...

...

Still?

None of that was your fault...

AU!Every: Who are you kidding? Of course it was her—

Shut up.

So, Joshua, what will you do now?

Joshua:[ My revenge is complete. Cyrus will never escape, what with Giratina itself making sure. This time, anyways.......I spent all these years honing my skills to avenhge my Pokemon......Now.....No, I have no idea what to do....]

Use your powers to become a superhero or something?

Joshua:[......This may be your first good idea ever. I shall consider it. And, perhaps I shall ask this timeline's Richard to aid me in this endevour.]

Just call him Tagg. Everyone calss him that.

Joshua[ I refuse to. It's childish and stupid. Almost as bad as Gamer.]

Heh.

Joshua':[One more thing. If you ever see Kyogre....Apoligize for having her Orb get shattered.]

Got it. Maybe, if my firends and I ever get a break.....I'll try to beat you at your own game. Become strong enough to teleport without vomiting afterwards.

Joshua':[You?! You can;t do that! You;re far too unfit and out of shape to even move a pebble with your mind, let alone teleport without going comatose!]

Right, that's it. Get this jerk out of my head!

Joshua':[Nice knowing you too.]

-sigh-

I know, but the thought that that's the kind of person I could have become...that scares me.

AU!Mezzo: Because, as I said, you're weak. Now stop clinging to this boy and do something worthwhile with your life.

Shut. Up. I love him. Do you even remember what that means? To actually care about someone? Or are you too obsessed with being strong?

AU!Mezzo: Love is a weakness. We learned that the night Castelia was taken.

Shut up, now. I'm done listening to you.

-Walks up to Tagg, Ds, and Anom- Hi guys.

- Notices Star -

Oh, hi Star!

There's no point dwelling on it now, though. Everything's going to be back to normal, and hopefully we'll never have to talk to our memories from this timeline again.

...

Um, I should probably move away for a while...if our personalities from this timeline are coming back, I don't think it's a good idea for us to be around each other.

Sorry.

-Notices Star-

Hey Star.

Helios: -Flits by and notices DS- <DS!>

-Does a tackle glomp on her-

<I'd ask for honey, but I don't think you'd have any.>

...

She's still talking to me, Every...I don't want you to go...

AU!Mezzo: Oh, look at this! You can't even listen to yourself talk without him near! Pathetic.

Not talking to you!

AU!Mezzo: Yes, you are.

AU Daisy: Hey Daisy.

Yeah?

AU daisy: Please try to treat Rim better then in the original timeline. All you use him for is teleporting but I think he good at more then jst teleporting.

Okay. Can I use him a a bat?

AU Daisy: No bad Daisy you were not listening!

-AU daisy smacks me with rolled up newspaper-

Hehe!

- Pets Helios -

Good to see you too, Helios.

- Realizes something -

Wait... How are you here?
