ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-We get closer and closer to the top, the light pouring in. We can see dense leaves around the light-

...Huh.

-We blast out the top of the tunnel, which was actually a tall, hollow tree in a forest filled with many trees-

...Wow. Nice view from up here...

Woah!

-catches Hunter before he hits the ground-

Well, that's just great.

-hears Crewe-

Well, other than being annoyed because I might have to carry this guy all the way back to the beach, . . . yeah, I'm fine.

-The fight between Ari, Squirtle and Mantine continues-

-Mantine Dives under the water then jumps out-

Mantine: <You want to fight? Ok, Let's fight!> -uses Bullet seed-

Ari:<OW OW OW!> -uses quick attack but misses-

Squirtle: -kinda just watches- <Aw man, I can't do anything..>

-Mantine uses bullet seed on Squirtle-

Squirtle <OWWWWWWW!> -rubs head-

If they pushed him closer to the shore, I'd be able to hit him with more accuracy.. -looks at Jenna- And Jenna could make the catch.

<Hey, Guys! You're going to have to lure him closer!>

Ari: <Got it!> -uses Gust to knock Mantine closer to the shore-

Mantine: <HOLY CRAP AHHH> -is knocked out of the air-

-Star lets out a Spark-

Mantine:' <AGGGH> -Is ko'd-

Jenna: Nice job, Guys! Ok, Go, pokeball! -throws a pokeball-

-M Antine is sucked in-

-One shake-

-two-

-three!-

-Mantine Was caught-

-Squirtle swims over to the pokeball and gives it to Jenna-

'Jenna: Thanks. -Holds up the pokeball- ALL RIGHT! I CAUGHT A MANTINE!

-Ari flies over and perches on Jenna's hat-

-Star looks up at Jenna-

Hmm.

- Looks around -

Yeah...

Tulip: <Wow...>

Odette: <Quack!>

Well, guess we'd better get started.

-I approach the edge of our tree, and look at a vine swinging back and forth-

Hmm... Think it's worth trying?

Hmm... Well, I'm guessing it is probably what we're supposed to.

You won't have to carry him, there's still one Flier up there. In fact, here he comes now.

-Cesar divebombs the clearing, smashing into a Raticate that was about to leap at the three of us. He lands down in front of Hunter, who blinks a few times before hooking an arm around his neck-

Hunter: Cesar? Hey, man...

Cesar: <Hunter!>

-the Staraptor nuzzles his Trainer briefly. I rather ungently heave the kid onto Cesar's back, and the Staraptor takes off-

Let's get out of here.

GUYS! WE'RE LEAVING!

-Electivire and Empoleon back away from the Arcanine, and my other Pokemon also detach themselves from their various battles. All turn and disappear into the woods-

Arcanine: <Don't let them escape! Mean Look!>

-a few Murkrow and Golbat hop out of the trees and their eyes glow dark briefly-

Shit.

-I nudge Meddler and start running into the jungle, Robin, Ian, and Masque providing information as to he locations of everyone in the back of my mind-

Arcanine: <AFTER THEM!>

-the Pokemon chase us and our Pokemon, the Kadabra, who hasn't moved this whole time, contacting Pokemon from all over the jungle to join the pursuit-

-I grab the vine, and swing to the next oddly-flat-topped tree-

Hey, that was fun!

-An Ariados walks up behind me, but I notice it and avoid it-

- Follows Anom, putting Odette and Tulip on my shoulders so I'll have both of my hands free -

-is running for her life-

Okay, now this is bringing back memories of the AU timeline. I wonder how AU!Meddler's doing?

-On Mandarin Beach-

<Milo: "Aren't you going to make anything, Audrey?">

<Audrey: "What am I, a toymaker or something?">

-AU Castellia, at a reconstruction site-

<Conkeldurr: "Ugh... You're not supposed to eat the girders! We need those!">

<Aggron: "Well hey, they tasted good!">

<Conkeldurr: "Ugh... Can't you eat some of the scrap that we're pulling off the streets or something?">

<Aggron: "But they-">

-The form of a Swampert walks in-

<Swampert: "...">

<Conkeldurr: "Wait, who's this guy?">

<Aggron: "AAAAAAAAAAH! (*whimper*) N-No! Pl-Please! I-I'm helping, I sw-swear!">

-In a Zoroark's voice-

<Swampert: "Muahahaha!">

<Aggron: "Wh-What?">

-The Swampert's form vanishes, revealing a Zoroark-

<Richard: "I see that you still haven't gotten over those dweebs, have you?">

<Aggron: "B-But th-they...">

<Conkeldurr: "Ugh... We know that you used to be our boss and all, but can't you just let us do our jobs in peace? This place isn't going to be any less of a wreck if we can't get to work!">

<Richard: "Yeah, yeah, I heard you...">

-The form of the Zoroark abruptly vanishes-

-OU, somewhere in the Orange Islands-

<Kangaskhan: "Ugh... Where are you Richard?">

<Young!Kangaskhan: "Wait, why are we looking for him, mommy? Isn't he mean?">

<Kangaskhan: "He's still our teammate... Even if he is more than a little aggravating...">

<???: "Muahahaha!">

<Young!Kangaskhan: "MEEP!">

-Retreats into pouch-

<Kangaskhan: "Alright, can this stupid charade and show yourself already, Richard! You have no idea how annoying this is getting!">

-The form of a Zoroark abruptly appears-

<Richard: "Something wrong?">

<Kangaskhan: "Where were you?! Everyone's been looking for you!">

<Richard: "Off having some 'me' time, what else?">

<Kangaskhan: "Oh no... You were harassing that Lucario again, weren't you?">

<Richard: "If you must know, no, I wasn't. I was in a really trippy place...">

Oh? Which two?

I don't really have anyone who can carry me while Surfing, so no point in me trying them. Even if they are interesting sounding...

Hmm. Maybe I'll just do the ones we can for fun.

Beach

Abigail: You kinda fold the square into a diamond, then flip it and repeat... then just do a weird kind of grabby thing. I don't exactly have hands to show it...

The ones on Navel and Kumquat.

Good thing I brought Xatu out to teleport everyone else quickly.

Mandarin Beach

Victini: -Tries doing what Abigail said-

Thresher: -Is busy stealing looks at Abigail while everyone is distracted-

So then this shouldn't be too hard. Just some weird plants and stuff.

-I attempt to swing on another vine; it turns out it's the stem of a hungry Victreebel, which begins pulling me toward its mouth-

Gah!

-I quickly swing to the other side, and it returns the stem into its original position, hoping to catch the next swinger-

... Okay.

Tulip: <Eek!>

Odette: (pointing towards the Victreebel stem) <Hungry plant thing!>

Well, let's just do this quickly.

- Follows Anom -

So that's... the sledding one, and the double one? Heh, we were just on Kumquat for a while...

Beach

Cephas: <It's not like those things actually work...>

Abigail: -Notices Thresher's glances, and slowly drifts in Thresher's direction-

Mandarin Beach

Victini: -Has succeeded- <It's fun though.>

Thresher: <Oh no, she's coming over, what do I do now?>

Xatu: <Talk to her of course. You like her, correct? Don't bother denying it, I can read minds.>

Thresher: -Feels slightly ill from Xatu's telepathy- <Yes.>

-On the beach with Luke and the others-

<Nadia: "Well that was a good use of our time...">

<Thog: "Wait, how has he not managed to get himself killed again?">

<Teala: "Um... I'm not really sure... I haven't known him for very long...">

"He's a little tougher than he looks..."

<Iggy: "And we bail him out from time...">

-A certain Sandslash comes out of some bushes, wearing a set of red shoes... Or more accurately, the remains of some red shoes with the toes ripped open by the claws on his feet-

<Gene: "Oh hey guys, did I miss much?">

-Up ahead, there are Carnivines releasing occasional Sludge bombs around them-

We should be careful.

-Jumps off of an Ariados onto a high branch-

Stratus: <Oh, there his is!>

Harriet: -Facewings.- <Urgh, where have you been? We've all been worried...>

-Harriet trails off, noticing that Gene has acquired some footwear in his absence. Or at least, what's left of some, anyway.-

Treeo: -Tilts his head.- <Where did you get those?>

Pleo: <Ooh, those look cool! Lake? Can you get me a pair?>

Lake: <Um...Maybe.>

- Continues following Anom, Odette and Tulip still sitting on my shoulders -

Tulip: <The odds of me falling off just keeps getting higher, yes...>

Odette: (giggles) <Oh, just enjoy the ride, Tulip!>

Tulip: (sighs)

<Gene: "Eh, I found them while smashing some weird robots with Pokemon in them.">

<Thog: "... What.">

<Gene: "I'm serious!">

<Iggy: "How on earth does that happen anyways?">

<Teala: "You know... If I didn't know better... I'd say...">

-In the Distortion World-

<Giratina: "Darn it, where'd those badniks get to? I was going to pit some against some of those Mecha-Torkoal!">

Well... we walking anywhere special?

Beach

Pankaja: <We should ask it a question!>

Rufus: -is staring at the water, suddenly curious-

Abigail: -to Thresher- <So, what do you normally do when Tagg's not busy?>

-hops down a steep bank and nearly lands on top of Hecate and Robin. Hecate motions for us to be silent and erects an Illusion around us. Robin starts speaking to both of us telepathically-

Robin: <All the others are waiting for orders, concealed behind their own Illusions. Elder is attempting to heal the Pokemon, but the child has a broken leg. What should I tell them?>

-looks uneasy-

The thing is... I left my bag on the beach with Qui-Gon and the kids. So we need a way to get 25 Pokemon, without their balls, and three Trainers, one with a broken leg, across the ocean on three Surfers and four Fliers. We also have to make our way back to the other beach and get Qui-Gon, Dana, and Nova. And we can't teleport because of the Mean Look.

... Maybe we should call for help.

Woolly: <Robots with Pokémon in them? Why does that sound so familiar?>

-Lake, Stratus, Woolly, Treeo, and Harriet exchange slightly worried glances. Chord and Guardé, not knowing why, just look at each other and shrug. Pleo, however, has other things on his mind.-

Pleo: <You fought robots?> -Looks awed.- <WOW! Gene, you're so cool! What was it like? Did they have guns? Or swords? Or Chainsaws? And when you smashed them, did they explode?>
