ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

A little while later...

-All of us are nearing the surface.-

Harriet: <Okay, almost there now...>

Treeo: -Smirks.- <You looking forward to getting back to the surface, then?>

Harriet: -Nods.- <Yeah. It's going to feel good to be dry again. And I can't wait to just spread my wings and fly. That's something I've really missed down here.>

Treeo: <Hmm. I understand. I can't wait to feel the sun on my scales again. Sure, there's sunlight down here, but it just isn't the same, really.>

-Aside.-

Pleo: <Oh, this is going to be so exciting! I can't wait to explore the surface with you guys! I've heard there's so many cool things up here! Oh...Thanks for brining me with you.>

Lake: -Smiles.- <You're welcome, Pleo.>

"Okay, everymon! Prepare to breech!"

-A few seconds later, all of us break the surface.-

Harriet: <AIR! Fresh air!> -Pauses, then shivers.- <Brr! Cold...>

Woolly: <She's right!> -Shivers.- <It's like getting out of a pool! The water's warm, but the outside is freezing!>

Treeo: -Shivers.- <...Anyone got a towel?>

<Nadia: "About time I was able to fly again...">

<Gene: "Hey! Let me up there, I like not being damp!">

-Watching Luke and the others surface-

"Oh, so there you all are!"

<Iggy: "You guys alright? Some of you look like you've gotten a little too used to life down there.">

-On a ferry boat-

-Staring at a space-out Rena-

<Kit: "... Is she okay?">

<Nibbler: "... Let me try something...">

-Nips Rena-

<Rena: "OW! NIBBLER! ">

-Hiding behind Kit-

<Nibbler: "EEP! It was just to try something out, I swear!">

<Kit: "You could have done something else... So are you okay?">

<Rena: "Yeah... I was just in a really weird place...">

-to Rex-

— Oh, well you can stay with them. Although I had thought that Tangent had left the island or something. Your choice, just... would welcome some help.

-puts up a map, Dintel looks with interest-

— Butwal is the nearest island, but if we go there we have to go by our own means. I guess we could get a boat, unless you have a good flier. Or we could take a 4-hour ferry to Ascorbia and rest ourselves along the way.

Well, some of those peons weren't all that bad, so who knows.

"Hello, Tracer. Brr...It's chilly. Feels good being back on the surface, though."

Pleo: <Hi, Tracer! Hi guys!> -Waves hello.-

Harriet: -To Iggy.- <Well, I didn't get used to it. I just felt awful down there.> -Sighs contently.- <I'm so happy to be back up here, though. I've forgotten how good the sun feels on my feathers.>

Chord: <Well, it was nice down there. but I'm glad to be back up here, too. At least I can play my Guitar now without it sounding horribly distorted.>

Guardé: <Does that mean you will finally be able to compose ballads of my great deeds?>

Chord: <...Pfft. You wish.>

Aqua: <Don't you want to help them, grandpa?> *puppy eyes*

Rex: ...Well, I guess I could tag along with you...if it's not a problem with you.

Aqua: *turns her puppy eyes to Silent*

-With Luke-

<Teala: "Oh... Well... At least you don't have to worry about that at the moment...">

<Thog: "So where are we off to now anyways?">

-With Tagg-

<Audrey: "Hmm... I guess you have a point... I mean I did wind up meeting a former peon with Randy after everything blew over in Celadon... He seemed nice... If jumpy... And Burny, Slenderman, and Erika were all also peons once, apparently... Even though I doubt they did anything like what you're describing...">

-Aqua uses PUPPY EYES! It's SUPER EFFECTIVE!-

-Silent's EMPATHIC DEFENSE sharply fell!-

— ...Awww.. :3 — to Rex — Sure thing. Let's go portside.

-packs rest of stuff, as well as map-

Aqua: *cheers, running around everyone's legs* <Yay~>

Rascal: *too tired to keep up with her*

Rex: *recalls Lian, Zippy, and Anya before following Silent*

-wakes up and sees Luke and Tracer out on the ocean-

...Did everyone just happen to pick the exact same spot to split up to?

-sends out Slam-

AWAY!

-starts Surfing towards Luke and Tracer SLOOOOWLY-

Harriet: <I don't care what we do. Just as long as we get somewhere dry and warm.>

"Okay then. Where's the nearest populated Island? I think so time in a hotel or something would do us some good."

Pleo: -Tilts his head.- <Hotel? What's a hotel?>

Stratus: <They're these tall buildings full of rooms that you can pay money to stay in. They're pretty cool, actually! Remember that nice one we spent that weekend in Cianwood in?>

Chord: <What, the one where you Spoinked out on the room service?>

Stratus: <Hey! I didn't think it would be that expensive...>

Pleo: <...Room service?>

Chord: <Stuff that you can have sent to your room when you're in a hotel. It's also VERY expensive.>

Pleo: <Oh...Sounds cool!>

Stratus: -Nods.- <Oh, it is!>

Woolly: <Hey, is that Every?>

-Woolly points a flipper at Every and Slam, who are surfing sloooooooowly towards us.-

Treeo: <Yeah, that's Every alright.>

Chord: <Every? Uh-oh...>

-Chord crawls up onto my back, out of sight, to avoid startling him.-

"Um...Hello, Every! Nice to see you!"

Pleo: <Lake? Is this a friend of yours?>

Lake: -Nods.- <Yeah, he's a friend.>

Pleo: <Oh!> -Waves.- <Hi!>

Yeah, I know, Tracer and I were the ones to tie them up and leave them to the image/b/oards.

Hi Luke!

-seeing Pleo-

...Hi, um...mini-Lugia.

Slam: <Hey there...> -waves-

"Wait, have you been on Tarroco this whole week we've been gone, Every?"

Woolly: <Have you not been able to leave?>

Harriet: <But you've got Slam, though...Have you been up to something?>

-Sighs-

Um... -blushes-

Harriet: -Tilts her head.- <Huh? What do you mean by-?> -Realizes.- <Oh...>

Pleo: <Huh? What is it Harriet? What's Every been doing?>

-Everyone exchanges awkward glances.-

"Um..."

Treeo: <Er.>

Lake: <Oh, you know how me and Nadia are in love, Pleo?>

Pleo: <Yeah...>

Lake: <Well...Every's in love, too.>

Pleo: <Oh! That's nice!> -To Every.- <So, you have a girlfriend, then?>

- Still trying to comfort Anom -

... If you need to, you can cuddle up to me when we sleep if that helps keep the nightmares away. I'd be fine with that.

...!!

Err... but... last time...

Wolf wouldn't like that, I think...

-Is about five miles off the coast of Pinkan Island, underwater-

Susan: <So why are we here again?>

Because I've been reading what people have been saying on the internet about this place, noone knows what's there.

Susan: <That might be because of the whirlpools around it.>

Yep, that's why we're underwater, I'm going to go under the whirlpools.

Susan: <That... That just might work...>

(To Pleo) Yes.

...I'm discussing my love life with a miniature Lugia. This is definitely not what I expected when I set off on my Pokemon journey.

Well... It's just a suggestion. Besides, I'm sure Wolf would understand.

- Pats Anom's back -

I'm just trying to see if there's anything I can do to help.

Well... whatever works...

-Hugs DS-

Pleo: <Aww, That's so nice! What's her name? Does she have any Pokémon? Are they nice?>

Treeo: <Well, some of them are. The others, though? Not so much...>

Pleo: <...Huh? They're not?>

Woolly: <No, not really.>

Nadia: <Like a certain Liepard, for example.>

Pleo: <...Liepard? What's a Liepard?>

-wakes up on the beach-

Every? Where are you?

Felis: <He left.> -points a paw out toward the sea-

Oh, that's fair...
