ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Mira: (nods) <Yes. Let us go.>

Artemis: <Yeah!>

Odette: <Quack!>

Meanwhile

Ribbons: (the ribbon-like feelers on her body glow white)

... Feel anything, Ribbons?

Ribbons: <... Yes, I think so.>

Helios, where'd you say that you saw them again?

Helios: -Points straight ahead- <Right there guys. Gene was with them too.>

Let's go and greet them then.

-Walks over-

- Continues walking, finally finding Artemis and Mira -

Artemis! Mira! Are you all right?

Artemis: <DS!>

Mira: <We are fine.>

Odette: <Quack?>

- I notice Odette -

Hey, is that who I think it is?

Artemis: <Yeah, it's Odette. She hatched from the egg shortly after we got it back from those Sneasel!>

Wow, you correct guessed what I planned on naming her!

Mira: (smirks) <Well, you are not that hard to figure out, DS.>

Silvermist: <Oh, so that is our new team mate?>

Ribbons: <Aww... She's so cute!>

Tulip: <Hi Odette, yes!>

Odette: <... Quack?>

Mira: <That is your trainer.>

Artemis: <Yeah. Go say hi.>

Odette: (tilts head) <Quack?>

- Odette curiously approaches me, pecking at my shoe -

Hehe!

- Has Ribbons take over carrying Silvermist while I get down and pet Odette on the head -

Hey there, Odette.

Odette: (happily) <Quack!>

-Comes out of the undergrowth-

Helios, we're late.

Guardé: <Well, I do believe that was a triumph, not only did we save your egg from those vile predators, we kept your little Odette safe until we were able to find you again! And it was all thanks to Artemis, Mira and me!> -Poses proudly.- <No thank yous are necessary, just doing my job.>

- Looks over at Guardé -

Of course you did.

- Notices Tagg -

Oh, hey there, Tagg!

- Shows Odette -

Look, the egg hatched!

Odette: (tilts head slightly)

I can see that.

-Starts patting Odette on the head-

Hello there little one.

-Points to Limna-

Limna evolved, as you can see.

Limna: -Is practicing punches with her new hands-

Odette: (happily) <Quack!>

- Looks over at Limna -

Oh, I see. That's cool!

Oh! Is that your Ducklett, DS?

- Looks over at Anom -

Yep! This is Odette!

Odette: (looks over at Anom curiously) <Quack?>

Hello, Odette!

Odette: (happily) <Quack!>

Stratus: <Now where could he-> -Spots Guardé.- <Oh! I found him, guys!>

-My other Pokémon (Sans Harriet) emerge from the undergrowth.-

Guardé: <Hello everymon! It feels so nice to return to a heroes-URK!>

-Guardé is wrapped in a ball of webbing by Chord.-

Chord: <What have we told you about going off by yourself?>

Guardé: <...Don't do it?>

Chord: <Yes, exactly. And what did you do?>

Guardé: <It's not my fault! I was practicing with Teleport when I ended up with Artemis and Mira just as some vile Sneasel were about to eat their egg! Luckily, I with my excellent combat skills managed to drive them off!>

Chord: <...Really?>

Muddy: -Aside- <She reminds me of Ludwig with the quacking.>

It's probably just because she's young.

Artemis: (to Chord) <Well... Yeah, the guy actually did help us save the egg.>

Odette: (happily) <Quack!>

Chord: <...Oh. I see.>

Lake: <Come on Chord, let him go. He hasn't done anything wrong.>

Chord: -Sighs.- <Fine...>

-The Ariados cuts Guardé out of the webbing.-

Guardé: <Hmph! I help rescue Odette, and this is the thanks I get? That's no way for a true hero to be treated!>

Treeo: <Ah, but a true hero never doesn't expect to be treated any differently. Helping others is it's own reward.>

Guardé: <...>

Chord: -Smirks.- <Well said, Treeo.>

Treeo: <Thanks. Now, has anyone seen Harriet?>

Nearby...

-Harriet has spent the last little while hunting for bugs with Copahue.-

Harriet: -Takes a bite of a dead Wurmple.- <Yum! I never knew Wurple where this tasty...>

Somewhere

-Copahue eats a random Caterpie whole-

Copahue (to Harriet) — <Well, I guess the soil here is richer or something. I mean, the sunlight feels pretty strong...>

-goes to sit besides Harriet to keep noming, then thinks, while checking another Caterpie up-

Copahue — <I wonder if it is the taste why Algira loves smacking Burmy to death so much...>

Odette: (looks over at Artemis and Mira) <... Quack! Quack!>

What is it, Odette?

Odette: (pointing towards Artemis and Mira with her wing) <Quack!>

... Artemis and Mira?

- Puts Odette back on the ground -

Odette: <Quack!> (runs up and starts cuddling up against Artemis again)

Artemis: <Aww...>

Hehe... Seems Odette has taken a liking to you two.

Artemis: <Yeah...>

Somewhere...

Harriet: <Yeah, that's probably why.> -Eats another Wurmple.- <So...You're new to Silent's team, then?>

Somewhere

-Fearow nods-

Copahue — <Yeah, well, I just got into the team like... let's see...> — thinks for a while — <Four days ago. Wow, not even a full week... Well that's just half than Ichtacya, at least!> — smiles.

-Meanwhile Ichtacya is sitting on the grass near a random old couple; then she slyly begins to rawr and roll on the grass, calling the attention of the couple-

Copahue — <I got traded over by my Trainer, a PEFE intern working at Viridian City... Anyway...> — examines a Caterpie and tosses it aside, then picks a Wurmple — <So what about you?>

-Every is wandering around Hamlin Island-

Artemis: <Hey, DS? Since Odette has already taken a liking to me and Mira... and she might think we're her mothers since we were the first things she saw upon hatching... Can Mira and I adopt her, please?>

... You want to adopt her?

Artemis: (nods) <Uh-huh.>

Mira: <Artemis, I don't think->

Odette: (happily) <Mira!>

Mira: (startled) <Uh... What?>

Odette: (walks over to Mira and starts cuddling up against her) <Mira!>

Mira: (surprised) <... You... can talk?>

Oh, she can talk! I was starting to think she was related to Ludwig somehow.

Artemis: (squee) <She can talk!>

Mira: (blushing somewhat) <... She... said my name...>

Artemis: <Ooh! Hey, Odette?>

Odette: (looks over at Artemis) <Quack?>

Artemis: <Can you say "Artemis"?>

Odette: <... Artemis?>

Artemis: (nods) <Yes! She said it right!>

Odette: (happily) <Artemis!>
