ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-smiles back-

I know. It's so nice to have everyone back.

Artemis: (looks over at Mira) <What is it?>

Mira: <... Something I... probably should have spoken to someone about sooner...>

Artemis: <... What is it?>

Mira: <... It is... kind of personal, Artemis. I am not sure who I can talk to about it...>

Artemis: <Is it about me?>

Mira: <...>

Artemis: <... Well, if you don't want to tell me, fine.>

Mira: <...> (thinking) ... I will have to talk to someone about this eventually, the question is, when do I do it, and who do I talk to about it?

Artemis: (decides to change the subject) <So... Anyways... Since I have given up wanting to rule the world, I'm not really sure what I am going to do now.>

-Shortly after waking up at the Sinnoh tribe-

-Spots Lake and Nadia together, and happens to notice some faint scars on the two-

"..."

-Drawing up-

<Shaun: "Is something wrong?">

"... What happened out there's never going to go away, is it?"

<Shaun: "... Oh. Are you referring to Celadon?">

"To everything... All of the death, destruction, and all-around misery that we witnessed out there..."

<Shaun: "I'm sure that it will get better Tracer... I mean... Those Legendaries seemed like they were eager to help make that place a little less awful...">

"... I know... But why doesn't it make me feel better about any of the awful things that we saw there?"

<Shaun: "Sometimes people and Pokemon need time to come to terms with the things that they experience... I'm sure that ours will come eventually.">

_____________________

-In the AU-

-In Sinnoh-

-A group of normal predatory mons is gathered before an Arbok, a Luxio, and a certain Marowak representing the Sinnoh tribe-

<Staraptor: "And why should we believe you again? For all we know, you lizards are just luring us into a trap to do away with us!">

<Arbok: "Have you ssssseen the world around you? And all of those monssssters in it? Do you really want to keep taking your chances with that over a chance to eat in relative peace?">

<Toxicroak: "... Fair enough...">

<Hydra Marrow: "Now hold on, we're not running a charity here! If you all come, you pledge to assist our tribe in this excavation and to leave our members alone!">

<Kangaskhan: "We're not idiots, the fact that we haven't tried to kill you now should give you some idea that we're serious! Besides... I just need a way to feed my child and keep her safe...">

<Arbok: "Very well, then... Follow u-">

-Off in the distance, a Horsantula can be seen-

<Toxicroak: "(*gulp*) W-We've got company!">

-And is abruptly dragged into a portal to the Distortion World by a purplish tendril, whinnying, which abruptly closes after it-

-A loud din of bizarre shrieks, none of which are human fill the air from all sides, as some portals can be seen sucking in figures out of the skies in the distance-

<Luxio: "Wh-What's going on?!">

<Hydra Marrow: "Brace yourselves!">

-The group assumes battle positions-

<Arbok: "Oh great, what n- OH!">

-Notices the various portals in the sky in to the Distortion shrinking-

<Arbok: "... They're... They're vanishing...">

-The group watches as the portals slowly vanish one by one, the massive portal where Mt. Coronet was slowly recedes, revealing the mountain once again-

-As the sky turns blue for the first time in two years-

<Hydra Marrow: "...">

<Kangaskhan: "I never thought that we'd live to see this day...">

<Staraptor: "... That deal's still on the table, right?">

<Hydra Marrow: "It is, now come along... That brighter future still needs time to come to fruition!">

Hmm...Sounds like an interesting idea. Plus it would give me an excuse to find all of my other Pokémon. -To Cinder.- What do you think, Cinder?

Cinder: <Well...> -Looks at Basil.- <...Could we ask Professor Elm. if we can take Basil with us? If you want to come, that is.>

Basil: -Blushes.- <I'd like that.>

I'm sure we can arrange something, Cinder. -To Tagg.- Alright, we're game.

YES.

-still grinning-

Yeah...it's amazing...

-gets up and gives Every a hug-

Yeah, it really is.

Vaporeon: -pats Mira's shoulder comfortingly with her paw- <It's okay. You don't have to say it if you don't want to.>

Vaporeon: -to Artemis- <Maybe you would like Contests? I know Dragonair finds them really fun, and is very proud of the fact that she does so well in them.>

-returns the hug-

Diesel: <.....????>

Sunny: -to Diesel- <Aww, aren't they just so cute together?>

Kensei: -notices that Sunny is awake- <Good morning.> -bows-

Diesel: -would scratch his head if he weren't a Kricketune- <...When?>

Sunny: <Oh! Good morning, Dewott.>

Sunny: -to Diesel- <Oh, right, you don't have your memories back. Well, in the other timeline Every and Mezzo ended up becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.>

-Walks out of the Pokemon League, now officially a Champion-

Xatu: <Wow, that was pretty quick.>

Venusaur: <Yeah, you could've blinked and missed it.>

Feraligatr: <Knocking out that Dragonite with a single Ice Punch was oh so satisfying.>

-Looks over at me and notices that I still look rather sullen-

<Tagg, I thought you'd be happier, especially since most of us haven't fought in years.>

Yeah, I am, it's just...

AU New Bark Town

Now who do you think we should try to recruit next Luke?

Dewott: <Actually, it is Kensei, now. My trainer decided to give us names!> -puffs out his chest in pride-

I wonder what's next?

Luna:<Maybe we could go to Holon?>

Holon? The place where those Pokemon got their types messed up because of those guys searching for Mew?

Luna:<What other Holon is there?>

I'd be fine going to Holon. I just hope nothing like what happened to the universe happens again.

Luna:<I still don't get how that works.>

Sunny: <Kensei? That's a nice name.>

Dewott: <Thank you!>

Diesel: <Oh! Um...okay then.> -goes off to report the news to the rest of Every's team-

So chatroom's down. Let's hope it doesn't take too long.

Also, Alt-universe J-Team? Will they have to change their name to L-Team? Or perhaps T-Team?

PEFE HQ, random operations room

-Dintel and Shahinne are sitting nearby, examining some of the machines under Algira's watchful eye and intimidation patterns, while I pick up a videophone and start making some calls-

Algira — <Dintel just stay. THERE!> — buzzes — <Oh, who are you going to call?>

— Well, I already called my parents. Just want to make sure they know I'm alive and well. Now I have an important call to make.

Algira — <Oh, that's right, you have to fetch Maekrite.>

— No...

-Algira flies around confused and hovers near my shoulder to see me dial the Viridian area code-

[AU] The sea, on the way to Johto

-A service freighter is going back to Olivine City with some provisions, mons in need and refugees. I walk among the crowd, this time in civilian clothes and a hat to not call the attention to myself, to a random place starboard where Maekrite is resting, apparently looking at nowhere-

— Maekrite, having fun with the trip?

???!Maekrite (leans ear) — <Yeah... the sound of the sea is very soothing.>

— It's not something we commonly hear, true.

-idly petting-

— Why were you so insisting that we didn't take the slow path to Johto?

???!Maekrite — <I grew worried. I-I just, wanted us to come back and spend time together.>

— Aren't we spending time together now?

-Maekrite rolls his head so I can pet him behind the ears, that's all the answer I need-

????!Maekrite — <Can we go to Ecruteak when you have the time? Before the Goldenrod police hands over that report Tangent talked to you about?>

-I frown, wondering how the heck did Maekrite got paw on that information-

— Oh... so you know about that. — sighs — Please don't tell your parents... — sees Maekrite shake his head — So I don't see why not. Why do you want to see there?

????!Maekrite — <I can explain later.>

-flattens ears to sleep-

-Walks over to everyone else, near the villa.

After all the hell we went through in that timeline, I think we all deserva a vacation.

Should I book some resort or something for our group?

-is looking for someone to talk to-

-in the AU-

-is on a plane to Petalburg City-

-Has teleported back to Sinnoh with my Kanto and Johto mons-

To where?

edited 5th Sep '11 9:41:29 AM by rmctagg09

Hey! The chatroom is back up!

Mira: <... Thanks. I will probably have to talk to someone about it eventually, but... now is not the time.>

Artemis: <... Contests? Hmm... Don't really know if that's my thing.> (shrugs) <Maybe I'll find something to do eventually.>

- Meanwhile, in AU -

...! Oh my... Everyone!

HotStuff: <What is it, DS?>

I just received a telepathic message from Mesprit! Apparently, Giratina has finally fixed things up in Sinnoh!

HotStuff: <R-really? That's great!>

Velvet: <Does that mean we can finally go home?>

- Nods -

Yeah, or at least, we'll be able to do so eventually!

HotStuff: <Awesome!>

Velvet: <By the way, has Cynthia had any luck in helping you find your mother yet?>

Hmm... I'm not sure.
