ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

You seem ill DS.

Oh? Well, I don't think it's anything serious.

I hope it's not.

-Has woken up after having another crazy Dream World adventure-

That place with those flip switches was crazy.

- Coughs -

Yeah...

-Walks outside and starts pacing again-

So... Should we try to find some of the others?

We should.

- Nods -

Okay... Hmm... I think Tagg may have gone over to another island, maybe he knows where we can find some of them.

- Dials Tagg's number into my X-transceiver -

-My X-Transceiver makes the sound that a phone always makes when someone really close by is calling-

Hmm... I guess he hasn't gone so far away after all.

- Shrugs -

Well, let's go find him, then.

That sounds like a good idea.

-I put on some clothes and prepare to leave-

-Somewhere on the Sea of Kyogre-

-Is playing with a battered DS-

<Teala: "... I don't understand, why on earth is this puzzle so- OH! ... Why didn't I think of that earlier...">

<Lardna: "... So is there anything left to do now beyond waiting for us to get to Mikan?">

<Thog: "I'm working on it...">

<Vlad: "We could play a game or something.">

<Zoltan: "You can fly!">

<Nadia: "... How?">

<Toothless: "... That kinda requires wings...">

<Zoltan: "Er... You can watch us fly!">

-Further Aside-

<Iggy: "Something the matter?">

"... It's just that... I can't help but feel as if something was really amiss during this last week..."

<Iggy: "Are you referring to the ambush by those Fearow earlier this week, or are you still troubled by those memories?">

"... Actually... It's neither of them... Or at least, they're not the main things that I was worried about..."

- I finish drinking my tea, and I quickly gather up my things as we prepare to leave -

-the Snow room was easy, all I had to do was blow up a bunch of stuff with bombs-

-the Water room, on the other hand, is proving to be rather difficult-

So Tagg is still nearby then?

I guess so... Well, let's go find him, then.

Latias: And I'll come along too!

That sounds fair.

-I open the door and step out-

- Steps out -

So... Latias? Think you can use your psychic powers to help us find him?

Latias: (standing behind Anom, reaching for his/her hair) Uh-huh...

... Latias, I already told you not to braid Anom's hair. Help us find Tagg.

Latias: (nods) Oh, okay... (uses her psychic powers to feel for Tagg's presence)

...Wait, what is this about my hair? Latias, you can't just go and braid my hair!

Latias: (looks down sheepishly) Hehe... Sorry.

So, did you find Tagg?

Latias: Oh, this way! (points)

Sea of Kyogre

Harriet: <What's he doing again?>

Chord: <Having breakfast, apparently.>

Harriet: <Huh, you'd think after what happened back on Haml->

-The Honchkrow is interrupted by a school of frightened Magikarp breaching the surface of the water near the boat.-

<"EVER MON FOR HIMSELF!">

<"I'm too young to die!">

<"If I survive this, I swear to Arceus...">

-The fish Pokémon are soon followed by a certain Dragonite.-

<"AAAAAHHHHH!">

<"Swim! Just swim!">

-The fish Pokémon quikcly dive again, trying to escape.-

Stratus: <Hey, come back! I only want to eat a few of you!>

-The Dragonite quickly follows them under the surface again.-

Harriet: <...As I was saying, you'd think that he would have been put off fish for life after what happened.>

Chord: -Shrugs.- <Hey, it's Stratus. Knowing him, he would probably eat until he's sick, then ask for seconds.>

Harriet: -Smirks.- <I wouldn't put it past him.>

-Aside.-

Woolly: <I can't wait to see everybody again. Do you think they've been okay while we were gone?>

Guardé: <They all seemed fine when I gave them a little "visit." Apart from some monor gender issues.>

Treeo: <Oh yeah. Do you think they've got that sorted out yet?>

Lake: <I hope so. I imagine that it can't be pleasant at all for any of them.>

Pleo: <Wait, did they really change from girls into boys? or boys into girls?>

Treeo: <They sure did.>

Pleo: <...

...Does this kinda' stuff always happen to you guys?>

Treeo: <Well, more than most peoplemons.>

Nearby...

-A certain trio of Delta Pokémon are following the boat from a distance.-

Tempest: <Are you doing okay, Thyme? You're not too wet, are you?>

Thyme: -Sighs.- <You worry too much sometimes, sweetheart. I'm fine, so don't you worry.>

Ferno: -Flying above.- <Hmm...I think now's the time.>

Tempest: <Oh?>

Thyme: <You want to attack them now?>

Ferno: <Well why not? We're far from anywhere, so calling for help won't exactly be easy for them...>

Tempest: <Hey, we only want to kidnap Pleo. We don't want to kill them.>

Ferno: -Dryly.- <Yes, of course...>

Thyme: <I agree that now would be a good time to attack. Witjout any form of backup, we stand a good chance of success.>

Ferno: <So, are we in agreement, then?>

Thyme: -Nods.- <Yes.>

Tempest: -Reluctantly.- <...Yes.>

Thyme: -Whispers.- <It's okay. We won't do any more damage than we need to.>

Tempest: <Still. Can we at least give them a warning?>

Ferno: -Is in the middle of charging a Draco Meteor.- <Huh? Oh. Fine.> -Dispels the attack.- <I suppose it's only fair to give them a warning.>

-Ferno readies a Dragon Pulse.-

Ferno: -Smirks.- <Ready or not, here we come.>

-The Charizard roars, then flies over and fires a Dragon Pulse at the side of the boat.-

-Is busy sitting on a bench-

-The boat abruptly lists due to being struck by a massive Dragon Pulse, punching a large hole mercifully above the bow line-

<Vlad: "GAH!">

<Lardna: "What was that?!">

<Thog: "Oh come on! I had a poem ready and everything!">

<Zoltan: "Wait, can we do that again?">

<Nadia: "What hit us?">

<Iggy: "Probably a disoriented Pokemon, we should still check things out though...">

<Nadia: "What sort of disoriented Pokemon would be able to do that?!">

"... I don't like where this is going..."

- Some time later -

- Latias leads me and Anom over to where Tagg is -

Oh, there you are. Hey there, Tagg.
