ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

... What is what?

- Follows the sound of Anom's voice to try to figure out what he's found in here, eventually bumps into something -

Ow... Yeah, there is definetly something in here...

I have a bad feeling about this...

-Pulls out a torch, but it's out of batteries-

Damn...

Hmm...

-Begins investigating it-

... What does it feel like, Anom?

-Takes out Beat-

10 bucks says it's the boss.

Wooden, cylindrical... Kinda like those rocket barrels...

... It's a rocket barrel?

Tulip: <A rocket barrel inside a rocket, yes?>

Odette: (excitedly) <Oh! We're going flying again?>

I... think? I can't tell.

-arrives in town-

Well, now what?

... Should we climb onto it?

-shrugs- We could look around to see if there's anything interesting. I hear there's some sort of unconventional Gym Challenge.

Jab: <Can I battle someone?>

Are you better yet?

Jab: <Um...>

-gives Jab a Rawst berry- Eat. You'll be better soon, and then I'll find someone for you to battle.

I don't know...

-Sighs, and climbs into the barrel-

OK, come on. Nothing to lose.

Unless it takes off and crashes into the ceiling of the rocket?

Unconventional Gym challenge? What do you mean?

-Sighs-

Then I'll find a way to keep us from getting smushed.

Umm...apparently you have to climb a mountain or something as part of it. And you can't use your Pokemon to help.

Well, it's been a good 20 years I guess.

-Beat-

What am I saying, most of it sucked.

- Climbs onto the barrel -

... Ready?

Tulip: <No!>

Odette: <Yes!>

...What?

Felis: <As if we didn't spend enough time climbing around things in that cave.>

-I climb on-

...

-arrives on Shamouti-

-looks for Silent-

Yeah, it's kind of weird.

Jab: -finishes his berry- <Can I battle somemon now?>

Calm down, seriously.

-Decides to grab on-

-I begin pressing the button on the top, and suddenly the larger outer rocket splits open and our rocket barrel takes off straight up into the sky-

AH!
