ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-is still wandering the monotype tournament, humming to myself-

— ...Wow, like, really?

Didn't recall that Tagg had those powers... at least, not to this degree... he always seemed to know things though.

-facepalms-

Of course, if that's what happens with other people then perhaps I too have...

-shakes head-

— Well, that's... weird. And perhaps I should say creepy, too, but I guess deep down We Are All Weird. It's not something inherently bad, really.

-thinks for a moment-

— On the bright side, well, recall that problem with Star? It's solved, she's human again. And I didn't even had to do anything, although I had to gift out, like, 20 Pokémon in trades.

-Has reentered my mindscape and is now thinking of things to create-

I see, good for her, and at least she didn't end up with a eugenicist trainer.

-Sighs-

DS probably isn't going to want to talk to me for a while though, considering what happened, and I wouldn't blame her.

Helios: -Happens to be taking a nap in the background-

Dream World

Helios: -Is looking around for Algira- <Now where could she be?>

-Is now buying some berries for his Pokemon at a shop on Mandarin Island-

Hmm... Mama, remember playing Bolo when we were younger? 5 shots, in the air.

-Mama spits 5 water guns into the air, and they land on the cans, crushing them-

There we go.

- As Anom seems to be thinking about something, or simply didn't hear my question, I decide to send Tagg a text message -

"I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you."

- Can't think of much else to write, and decides to just as send it as it is, before laying back down on the bed and sort of just absent-mindedly playing with the Coin Flip app. on my Poketch -

-Walks around Mikan-

-spots a girl staring at a tree, crying-

Hmm?

-walks over-

Something wrong?

Girl: -sniff-A mean Houndoom showed up, and now My Skitty's stuck up there! -points at the Skitty-

Skitty: <Arceusdamn Houndoom!>-grows-

-The notebook gives off a warm sensation, and starts glowing-

Huh? -thakes out the book-

-on the first page:- Objective: Reunite the girl with her Skitty!

??

Hmmm.

-writes Magikarp-

-a magikarp appears-

Magikarp: <Huh, what?-> -is picked up by Star-

Hey, Skitty! -holds magikarp up-

Skitty: <Sweet, a magikarp!> -jumps down- <Hey lady! can I have -Oof!> -is glomped by the little girl-

Girl: <Yay! Thank you very much!>

-A small, star shaped yellow object appears-

Huh. -Picks it up-

-STARITE FOUND-

????

-shrugs-

-the Starite is absorbed into the notebook-

Starites. Found by Star. -has no reaction to oncoming pun-

— Eugenist... ah yes. Good for her.

-can't help but flinch-

With Luke we have enough, really. And I'll have to take notice of that, too, if Maekrite keeps that idea of going after the armband.

-shakes head, returns to conversation-

— About DS... I wonder if she understand the why of all that happened, Tagg. You mean well, she means well, we mean well... I don't really know what else to say about this, except that I hope that you both can come to terms with this before you get separated further.

Dream World

-There is a dream hole in a random dream tree, that also has a dream image of Ichtacya torn up by Air Slashes hanging from one of its dream branches. Inside the hole, Algira is sleeping.-

Algira — <This is not fair... zZz... I've been nice and fought hard for this position... zZz...>

Somewhere else in the Dream World

-Ichtacya is sleeping curled somewhere in a grass field. There is a random lifeless shadow shaped like me sitting by-

Ichtacya — <I've been nice ...zZz... If it just wasn't for that overgrown bug... zZz... And Trainer says I've been a good walk-along!>

Yet Another Somewhere Else in the Dream World

-There is a random burrow in a grass island on a hill, with city lights and some sounds coming from downhill. The entire clearing is fenced and there is a signpost that reads "No silfaying on daytime, trespassers will be Poison Jabbed"-

-Is now sitting in a field inside my mindscape, does not know what to make next-

...

-Exits the mindscape and starts looking through bag-

<Where is it...>

-Pulls out a notebook-

<There you all are.>

-Begins reading-

Well, I guess.

-X-Transceiver vibrates-

Hold that thought Silent, I got a text.

-Reads it and then fowards it to Silent-

...What do I say back Silent?

Mikan Gym

-Cissy's Seadra repeats the same feat with six cans and a frisbee-

Dream World

Helios: -Manages to find Algira- <That picture is kind of creepy. Anyway...>

-Starts shaking Algira-

<Wakey, wakey.>

Dream World, Algira's Tree

Algira — feels Helios's warmth — <Oh yes, summer... time to play around the ponds :3>

-she buzzes a bit before opening her eyes, buzzes a yawn then closes them again, sorta-smiling...-

Algira — <...? Helios♥? Awww, I'm dreaming with you too...>

Physical World, Back at the Cabin

-blushes, to Tagg-

— I'm... I'm not really good about this stuff. While it might be a lie, and I hope it isn't what about something like "Your intention is enough"? I mean, if you two want to get better, — shrugs — accepting the fact that even in your troubles you care for each other is a huge step, I'd guess...

Shahinne — blinks — <...That sounds like you sucked at this.>

-Mama once more gets them all, Ori smiling-

Next?

-Finishes reading and revising and drifts back into my mindscape to create-

Well, I suppose you're right Silent.

Outside of the Mikan Gym

Cissy: -On Blastoise in the water- Now we're going to race, looping around that flag before ending back here. If you win, you get your Badge.

Dream World

Helios: <Welcome to the Dream World Algira.>

-Gets a honey jar out of nowhere-

<Honey?>

-Hops on Mama-

Mama, Aqua Jet. Ignore if I grunt in pain, I can take it.

-Mama blasts off towards the flag-

Physical World

-Smiles to self, Shahinne pecks my head softly-

— I hope that one turns out good Tagg... if not, well, I guess one of you will sic your Pokémon on me? Also... wait a mo... — picks up a paper and the Pokégear — What have you heard of the others? Are they fine?

Dream World

Algira — blinks insistently — <But... what.... wait... how... why?>

-Algira carefully gets out of her nest and looks around, perplexed; however her attention is switfly picked by the honey jar-

Algira — <Oh wow! Where did you get this honey, honey? Tee hee...~> — flutters around nervously — <Trainer never buys honey for me.>

??? Island

-The unconscious Fool and Kaepora are approached by a mysterious man with a large pack. However, when the man gets up close to the pair, Fool starts regaining consciousness-

???: Hm hm hm!

-Fool tries to pull himself off the ground, but due to the injuries sustained from the fall are still to painful right now to move, let alone get up. Fool does manage, however to turn over-

Urng.. Who are you?

???: You have met with a terrible fate. Haven't you?

AU Mossdeep

Sol's Father: Now Solana, be careful on your little expedition. We don't want anything to happen to you.

-Sol hugs her father before chuckling-

I'll be okay dad! Honestly! I'm only going to Route 123 to observe the Zigzagoon population there!

Sol's Mother: Still... We worry about you Solana, going back to Unova wasn't a clever idea. We are just as fault as we let you go back...

I promise I'll be okay Mom! I know this region like the back of my hand! I'll take Stella And 'Kins with me, I'll be safe! Promise!

Sol's Mother: ...Okay. But will you give your mother a hug?

Of course!

-Sol hugs her mother, before bringing out Stella to fly to Route 123-

I'll return within the week, so see you then okay?

-Stella takes off-

Bye mom! Bye dad!

Both: Goodbye Solana!

"And with that, Solana flies away from Mossdeep to go to Route 123. First becoming a shadow, then a dot, then a speck in the sky"

"And that was the last anyone had ever saw of her."

-Starts telling Silent about the seemingly permanent gender bending-

Wave Race

Cissy: Blastoise, use Waterfall!

-Blastoise uses brute strength to just knock Ori and Mama to the side-

Dream World

Helios: <I thought it up.>

AU PEFE HQ

-Feels a sudden pain in my heart-

Urk!

Musashi: <Tagg what's wrong?>

Something happened to Sol, I can feel it.

Chilliwack: -Happens to be photosynthesizing in front of a window- <Sol?>

Musashi: -To Chilliwack- <Friend of his.>

I have to go find her!

-Runs to go find Xatu-

I'm sorry, what did you ask DS?

Dream World

-blinks, flies around examining the honey jar-

Algira — <But you can't just think things up, can't you? Because if that was true I could just...>

-A sliced bread, toasted, appears out of nowhere and falls to the ground by the honey jar-

Algira — <That... that's just broken...> — looks around — <What is going on, Helios? What is this place?> — presses against his body.

Physical World

— Wait you mean permanently genderbent and...

-blinks, tries to imagine Anom and Pentigan... or better, tries not to.-

— Man, this is going to be kinda hard. Are the others in the group aware of this yet? Because I can already imagine a couple of unhappy faces not to mention what will happen when...

-face pales-

Oh freaking Arceus... Sunny!

-bored, I wander into the woods around the tournament area with Damian and hear clashing sounds. Curious, I move towards them quietly, motioning to Damian to stay silent. Peering around a tree, I see a Kabutops and Scyther dueling with their arm blades. As I watch, the Kabutops knocks the Scyther over and holds his blade to the other Pokemon's throat for a moment, then straightens up-

Kabutops: <Beat you again.>

Scyther: <Yeah, yeah. I still claim type advantage.> -climbs to his feet-

Kabutops: <Dude, there aren't any type advantages when you aren't using typed attacks.>

-I shift slightly and accidentally step on a rock. The two Pokemon freeze for a moment then whip around and see me watching. In a flash, the Scyther is over next to me, blades at the ready-

Scyther: <Who are you?!>

I-I'm Crewe. Please don't kill me. I saw you fighting and it was really cool. It kind of reminded me how this guy I used to know would spar with his Pokemon and wouldn't use attacks.

Kabutops: -walks over- <What's up, man? This some Trainer that wants to fight?>

-holds up my hands in a sign of peace-

No, I'm not here to battle.

Scyther: <... So you don't want to catch us?>

No, though if you want to join my team, I won't turn you away.

Kabutops: <That's—hey, did she just answer you?>

Scyther: <Yeah, she—waaait. What is this?>

Oh. Well, that's kind of a long story.

Kabutops: <... This is cool.>

Damian: -walks over, just now realizing I might be in trouble- <Something wrong? Are we catching these two?>

Scyther: <If you want me to send you to Hades, you can try.> -readies his arm blades-

Kabutops: <Whoa, calm down, dude. But... I'd kind of like to see what being with a Trainer's like. I mean, I know that old Rapidash would throw a fit, but I've always heard Pokemon with Trainers get stronger. That sounds pretty cool.>

Scyther: <If you're sure...>

Kabutops: <You don't have to come with me, dude.>

Scyther: <Like I'd let you do this alone.> -prods me in the stomach with the tip of his blade, gently enough to not break the skin- <Go on then, use one of those ball things.>

Right.

-I dig through my bag and pull out two regular Pokeballs. Damian nudges me-

Damian: <Wait, I know exactly which balls to use for these guys.

-he takes my bag and pulls out a Dive Ball and Luxury Ball-

Uh, if you're sure.

-I tap the Kabutops with the Dive Ball and Scyther with the Luxury Ball. After a few seconds, they're caught and I let them out-

Damian: <I want to come up with nicknames! I have the perfect ones!>

Kabutops: <Er, sorry to burst your bubble, but we already have names. I'm Percy, this is Luke.>

Scyther: <'Sup.>

Damian: : O <That's exactly what I was gonna suggest!> -to me- <I'll show you where this comes from later, you'll get it.>

... If you say so. Anyway, two Lukes in the group will be confusing, but I won't ask you to change your name. C'mon, I'll introduce you to the rest of the team.

-I collect their balls from the ground and walk back towards the tournament area, Percy and Luke following, Damian digging through my bag for his book, which is kind of hard to do while I walk-

- Looks over at Anom -

Oh, I just wanted to know if you had any more questions, or if there was something you wanted to talk about.

-I am just walking around the Island-

Well...

I'm guessing there's still a lot I don't know...
