Guess Who...?
#96151: Sep 30th 2011 at 10:13:40 PM

-A few hours into the future-

"... Dr. Tagg?"

Optimistic!Tracer: "... How on earth did you get in here?"

Cynical!Tracer: "Well, it was pretty much inevitable that this would happen at some point. Especially after he started practicing those Aura powers of his."

"What brings you to my mind anyways?"

-Looks at the giftbox-

So it's from Slouch's Delibird? Delibird always give the best presents.

Let's see, what can I give you in return...

-Rummages, brings out several small seeds-

That there's some Fellstalk, brilliant medicinal herb, it needs a lot of care and attention to grow however.

-Gives them to Wolf, takes the giftbox-

I hope Daisy likes whatever's in this thing.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

AU

-Every finally speaks up-

I was there when it was destroyed. I wasn't in control anymore, -speaking the next word like a curse- he was. He got into a fight with some of Napoleon's soldiers and lost. It's his fault Napoleon destroyed Nimbasa. I could've done better, I'm sure of it.

-looks to be on the verge of tears-

Instead, Nimbasa's gone and my parents are dead. And I doubt he's lost a night of sleep over it.

You're right, maybe they're not. Either way, I searched every inch of Nimbasa for them, and I didn't find a thing. Even if they're alive, it's not like I'll see them again.

Optimistic!Tracer: "Well, it is a little unreasonable to think that you would be alone in that department..."

Cynical!Tracer: "So which one's the sane one? Or are they both hopeless?"

"Ugh... Sorry about that, Dr. Tagg... Some parts of me have a tendency to be more grating than others..."

Optimist!Tracer: "But... Aren't we already in better times, Dr. Tagg?"

Optimist!Tagg: We don't have to worry about a mad otter or mad time gods anymore.

Cynical!Tagg:-Snorts- Better times, what a crock of shit. So today DS said that dealing with what happened was "difficult". Really, I never could've guessed.

Optimist!Tagg: She was just trying to help, you know she was in that place for a month and feels alienated from everyone too.

Cynical!Tagg: Oh Boo-hoo, cry me the Unovan East River. So she ended up that way because she got impulsive and tried to fight Cyrus by herself. We may not have won without her but I don't see how that compares to the Celadon meat grinder.

Cynical!Tracer: "Yeah, I have no idea how on earth anyone thinks that their experiences were remotely comparable to ours. The only guys that I could think of who would possibly have something worth not laughing off would be Anom and that Memito kid, and the second one brought half of the stuff that happened to him down on himself!"

Optimistic!Tracer: "Look, I'm not going to deny that we saw a LOT of ugly things out there during that week, but there's more to Celadon than what it was for a WEEK. It's been around for over 400 years for cripes' sake! In the end, those scars will wind up healing, and it's thanks in part to everything that everyone did and the risks that they all took out there..."

Cynical!Tracer: "Oh yeah, they'll heal... When everyone who was there has DIED from old age! What good does that do us?"

Cynical!Tagg: The city will revive like its always done, but that does nothing for our psyches.

Optimist!Tagg: Well, there is Fool and Mezzo.

Cynical!Tagg: Oh yes, one got manipulated by a monster of an Emboar into murdering people, and the other ruled Black City with an iron fist. We suffered, they were busy murdering people. You remember all those people Fool showed us that the other her murdered.

Optimist!Tagg: But after Napoleon died things seemed to go alright with them, or at least with Fool at any rate.

Cynical!Tagg: And I heard that the "human resistance" cut and ran from Hoenn during the invasion. What do we need them for anyway, those Champions are always sending kids to do their dirty work.

Cynical!Tracer: "Yeah, that was a real classy move by that nimrod who picked a fight with those Zoroark. So you're brave enough to pick stupid fights and get maimed from it, but not enough to at least try and stay behind and help instead of leaving some hypnotic lizard to do as he pleased in Hoenn? Give me a break."

Optimistic!Tracer: "... I'll admit that Hoenn probably ought to have gone a lot more differently... But we weren't alone. It took me a while to find out about some of those things, but we had a lot more help than it seemed out there in Kanto. I'm sure you heard what happened in Pallet Town, don't you? And there were those brave souls in Fuschia that managed to pin an entire army to the beaches, something that took the military in Vermillion a day and the return of Lt. Surge to pull off. There was the popular uprising in Saffron the day before your Unfezant managed to find the birds. And even before then, even when everything looked hopeless, there were the civilians that risked everything to help others who had been trapped or hurt to get off the streets and out of the train and bus stations. Did you happen to hear about that one brave retiree from Saffron? The one who was teleporting around with her Pokemon dragging those that she could off of certain death on those crosses?"

Cynical!Tracer: "And she wound up getting killed two days before everything blew over, what's your point?"

"... How did I hear about all of this stuff again?"

Optimistic!Tracer: "Audrey apparently listened to quite a bit of Radio Free Kanto with Randy in the other universe."

Cynical!Tracer: "... Wasn't that just some pirate radio station that got repurposed during the invasion?"

"Well, it served its purpose..."

Optimistic!Tracer: "... Well... It doesn't change any of the ugly things that we saw... But doesn't that do anything to make things better, Dr. Tagg? If only slightly?"

Well, maybe...

Cynical!Tagg: -Snort- Apart from this group no one here even knows it happened, and if we talk about it to anyone else they'll think we're insane and try to lock us up.

Optimist!Tagg: We still have each other.

Cynical!Tagg: Each other? We don't even have our girlfriend, who left us, remember? For two fucking months while we researched and trained our Pokemon and our powers. It's a really great relationship at the moment.

Optimist!Tagg: You know Fool cares about us.

Cynical!Tagg: If she did she wouldn't have left when we needed her the most. But that's people in the end for you, they always let you down when you need them.

- Is asleep -

- Inside DS' mind, the three aspects of DS' personality are discussing possibly letting Tagg enter the mindscape later on. The one who is closest to the real DS' age in appearance is skeptical to letting someone enter and questions Tagg's motives for wanting to do so, while the one based on DS' child version thinks it'll be okay. Platinum Heroine doesn't seem to care, and wants to talk about herself and her accomplishments instead -

-Within my mind, 2 figures stand around, accompanied by a blacked out figure-

Normal!Straw: I wonder if he'll ever get over it...

Loner!Straw: Leave him be.

Normal!Straw: You'd think he'd be over that. It's been 3 years.

Loner!Straw: I think Straw buried that part of himself to try to forget what happened. Talking to Rex about his friend Kim made it resurface for a bit, but it was a very small part.

-Outside of my mind, Aurora has been secretly watching what my 3(Or rather 2) personalities have been doing-

Deserted Island - Yesterday

-It takes a few seconds for the revive to begin to take effect. Then the Legendary bird begins to stir.-

Ho-oh: Argh...I don't care if it looks cool Entei, you can't go around erupting volcanoes like that. Uh...What? -Looks around, wearily.- ...Oh...

-Ho-oh pulls himself up, shaking his head.-

Ho-oh: Wow. It's been a while since I was K.O'ed like that.

Lake: -Concerned.- <We didn't hurt you too badly, did we?>

Ho-oh: -Chuckles.- No, no. Of course you didn't! I've been through far worse than that, let me tell you. -Smiles.- But, the important thing here is that you managed to beat me. But to be honest? I didn't expect anything less from you and Nadia.

Pleo: <Are you going to give Lake his present now, then?>

Ho-oh: -Smiles at Pleo.- Yes Pleo. But it's not just Lake I'm going to give this gift to...Nadia's earned it, too.

Calm!Lake: <To make sure you don't do anything stupid.>

Feral!Lake: <...When do I ever do stupid things?>

-Calm!Lake gives Feral!Lake a disapproving look.-

Feral!Lake: <Whatever. I'm not going to argue with you about it...Ooh! What's going on over there?>

-Feral!Lake points out Tagg, Tracer and their Cynical and Optimistic sides are arguing.-

Calm!Lake: <It looks as though Tagg and Tracer are having a private conversation with themselves. We probably shouldn't get involved.>

Feral!Lake: -Stares blankly.- <You are so boring.>

-Feral!Lake grabs Calm!Lake and begins dragging him over.-

Calm!Lake: <HEY! What are you doing?>

Feral!Lake: <Getting us involved, this looks exiting.> -Arrives at where the others are.- <Hello! What are we talking about?>

Mikan Island

-Fool is sitting on the dock of the bay, wasting time.-

<Felicity>: <Why so glum master? You haven't smiled for a week, haven't said anything out of a monotone. Why is that my master?>

...

<Felicity>: <I mean, you won the Pummelo Stadium challenge Master. You have the Winner's trophy to prove it, you will always be honoured in the Palace of Victory. Your legend will live on forever, most people would dream to have a legacy like that>

But you don't know what happened that day Felicity...

Pummelo Stadium. A week ago

-Poseidon faints after being hit with a Dragon Claw from Drake's Dragonite-

<Poseidon>: <Arr... I did me best 'gainst th' scurvy dog...>

Return Poseidon!

-Fool recalls Poseidon-

Down to my last mon... Like Drake...

Drake: Heh... You're pretty good girl, got me down to my last mon! However, you're going to need brains AND brawns if you’re gonna take my Dragonite down!

-The Dragonite roars-

And I have just the mon...

-Fool reaches into the bag to grab a Timer Ball but instead pulls out... the Ophiuchus Orb-

...

-The Timer Ball that she was originally scrounging falls out of her bag and MGMT materializes on the felid-

MGMT: The young ones/Darling we're the young ones/And young ones shouldn't be afraid~

-Fool stares at the orb intently, the words of Cynical!Fool ringing in her ear-

Cynical!Fool: She didn't even say goodbye! She just left some lousy orbs and disappeared without a trace!

-Fool's anger grows. She starts glaring at the orb furiously with small words of Angrish foaming out of her mouth-

MGMT: To live, love/While the flame is strong/for we may not be the young ones very long~

-MGMT's claws glow indigo as he prepares to strike the Dragonite with Dragon Claw. Fool herself is now red with fury-

MGMT: Tomorrow/Why wait till tomorrow?/Tomorrow sometimes never comes~

-MGMT strikes the Dragonite with Dragon Claw-

MGMT: Love, me~

-Fool raises the orb over her head. MGMT prepares to strike again with Dragon Claw-

MGMT: There's a song to be sung~

THERE IS NO FRIENDSHIP! NOT ANYMORE!

-Fool throws the orb on the ground with a tremendous force, causing it to shatter to bits-

MGMT: -Striking the Dragonite again- And the best time is to sing while we're young~

-Fool regains her sanity and looks down at the shards of the once complete Ophiuchus Orb-

Oh... Oh no... What have I done?

-Fool starts to hastily pick up the shattered fragments of the orb-

Drake: ...

AU Unova

-Sol is studying the local Mienfoo and Meinshao population on Route 14, trying to keep herself hidden from view-

The way wild Meinshao fight is very interesting. Smooth and elegant like a dance, yet fast paced and forceful like boxing. It doesn't surprise me that these Pokemon are prized as pets as well as fighters...

-Fool hears two people conversing up the road and quickly hides in the tall grass-

- After their talk, the three aspects of DS wander back into different parts of DS' mind, Platinum Heroine going further in while the other two stay in different parts of the area they were all in earlier, Platinum Heroine is now attempting to have a conversation with what appears to be a group of eyeless girls made out of paint -

Platinum Heroine: ... So, I don't care if they enter this mind or not. As long as it does not interfere with my battles against the inner demons, I don't mind. (smirks) And if they happen to admire me like you girls do, then it'll be even better!

- None of the paint girls actually seem to respond to what Platinum Heroine is saying -

Platinum Heroine: ... You're great fans, but you would've been so much more fun if DS had actually bothered to give you eyes so that you could actually see me! (shakes head) Of course, she's not in charge of what her subconscious conjures up in these parts... (shrugs) Well, I'm going to go find some inner demons I can fight. They've gotten somewhat more aggresive in the last few months... (smirks) ... but that just makes it more challenging for me, and makes destroying them so much more satisfying! (begins to walk away) Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I can so you girls can admire me some more! (leaves and goes into a different area in DS' mind)
