ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Has just been standing around awkwardly while my Pokemon talk amongst themselves-

-Noticing Tagg remaining silent as his Pokemon talk amongst themselves-

"... Are you still feeling troubled, Dr. Tagg?"

<Gene: "Well... It is kinda obvious...">

Well... I don't want to wake him up, since it seems he could use some rest. But then again, I'm not really sure what to do with him right now...

-To Tracer-

Well, I still do, a little bit.

Oh, uh...I could help carry him if you want.

"Just try to take things a little easy, Dr. Tagg... We're far, far away from Kanto right now..."

<Iggy: "And if you do feel overwhelmed...">

-Looks off at Tagg's Pokemon-

<Iggy: "You'll have plenty of friends who'd be willing to talk with you...">

Hmm... Yeah, I guess I could use some help.

-helps DS-

Yeah, I guess.

-A letter suddenly drops down from the sky-

What's this?

- Smiles at Wolf -

So... Here we are.

... A vacation without evil glitch Pokémon, or evil teams needing to be defeated, or body swapping needing to be reversed, or anything else like that.

Just you, me, our Pokemon, and our friends. -smiles, and kisses her-

- Smiles -

Hehe... Yeah. That'll be nice.

Artemis: (looks over at Tulip) <... Huh, you didn't react at all to DS' comment about evil glitch Pokémon, or body swapping. You sure have adjusted to this group pretty quickly.>

Tulip: <What can I say, yes? I'm pretty open-minded, yes!>

-Kensei is walking with DS' Pokemon-

So...what's the first thing you want to do on our vacation?

Hmm... I don't know yet.

- Glances at my clothing -

I should probably change into a t-shirt or something later, my regular outfit might get a bit too warm in the tropical weather, plus, sunlight is really good for my skin.

- I look at Tulip -

I think I'll also start working on training Tulip, and the Ducklett that will soon hatch from the egg.

- Ribbons is currently carrying said egg -

Silvermist: <Don't forget that you need to practice swimming!>

Silvermist, I can swim...

Silvermist: <Yeah, but you're not good enough at it. We already went over this, DS.>

I know, I know...

-half hopeful, half joking around- Does that mean you'll be wearing that purple bikini of yours more often?

-The group stares at the letter-

<Nadia: "... What.">

<Iggy: "Wait, where on earth did that come from?">

"... Is it addressed to anyone, Dr. Tagg?"

-overhearing Wolf-

...DS has a bikini?

I suppose... I also have a blue bikini, as well as a red and gray one, haven't really had much reason to wear those in a while... Why'd you ask?

Oh...no reason.

Ninetales: <Sure there isn't.>

Doc: <Come on Tagg, open it.>

-Opens the letter to reveal a map of the Orange Islands with certain places marked in red X's-

Well, that's interesting.

Artemis: (snickers)

Tulip: <...? Am I missing something, yes?>

Vaporeon: -to Tulip- <We'll tell you when you're older, sweetheart.>

<Teala: "Huh? What's that about?">

<Nadia: "Yeah, why would someone give you a map with a bunch of X's on it?">

<Gene: "Who cares? It's an excuse to explore! And who knows, maybe we'll get a treasure or something out of it!">

"I doubt that would happen, Gene..."

Sunny: <I bet Every would go wild if you got a bikini!>

-blushes-

Um...

Ribbons: <Hmm... The Ducklett seems to be moving around inside the egg.>

Tulip: <That means it will hatch soon, yes?>

Ribbons: <Yes. Possibly tomorrow. Or the day after that. I'm not sure.>
