ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Notices ZERO-ONE-

Well, I did have a boat, but I think I've found something much better.

-Approaches-

Hello, mind giving a ride to someone who needs to get somewhere fast?

Not particularly. A well-handled romantic subplot, maybe, but not a whole story based on romance.

... If you want to stay, Jab, I don't mind.

Jab: <...Actually, I sort of would. This sounds kind of interesting.>

-blinks-

Does he actually know what he's about to hear? I hope so...

Well, all right.

-sits down on the bed and pulls the armband out of her pocket absently, turning it over in her hands a few times-

Pentigan's Island

ZERO-ONE!Rotom: <Am I a taxi? Though... okay, you look like you have an interesting story. Where to?>

AU

Tangent: Hey, Tagg! We somehow got Drake-er, Pentigan... from the other timeline on the line!

Need to grab food, be back in a bit.

-Still looking outside-

Fool?

AU

-Hearing Tangent-

WHAT?

-Sunny goes back to writing his fic-

Sunny: It's a lot easier to type when you have hands.

-Shows ZERO-ONE the decoded coordinates-

It's a long story, but I guess yours is quite interesting too. I've seen you around a bit lately, so where'd you get a forme like this?

...Yeah, how did you type as an Umbreon, anyway?

He used his front paws.

Sunny: Yeah. It's not hard when you get used to it.

-is beginning to wonder what Sunny's writing despite herself-

So, you don't feel any pressure writing right in front of us?

Sea of Kyogre

-The form of a Draconic Pokémon is flying over the ocean's surface at supersonic speeds, muttering to herself as she goes.

Garchomp: <Jeez, you guys. You're the strongest of all of us and yet you still can't manage to get that Lugia? And not only that, you managed to get imprisoned in bubbles. Bubbles, Of all things...It's completely ridiculous.>

-Thankfully, despite the fact that they had been captured, Ferno had still managed to contact the Garchomp via the Dream World to inform them of their situations and whereabouts. Still, even at hypersonic speed, It would still take about a day to reach Minkan Island at the rate she was going.-

Garchomp: <Well, You just all hang on. Holly's coming, and once I'm there, I'll spring you, and then we'll swipe that Lugia and finally put this plan into action.>

-With a smile on her face, the Dragon Pokémon speeds onwards towards Minkan, and her targets.-

...I guess that makes sense.

-tries to picture an Umbreon writing, fails-

OT Mikan

-Fool turns around-

Tagg?

Sunny: Pressure? No, why would I?

-I and the ZERO-ONE Forme Rotom chat for a bit, but it takes about half an hour to get to the HQ-

Heading home.

-Is waiting for plot to happen while I watch the [Sea Ruby Badge]-

It's just... You're writing about us, and we're right here... That doesn't faze you at all?

-Scratches head-

I see you're free of the mask.

Sunny: No. Why would it?

... Nevermind. Go back to writing.

-goes back to fiddling with the armband-

Do you have a title?

-we see Meddler fast asleep under a tree-

Meddler's Dream:-Meddler is talking to someone hidden from view-

And that's the story.

???:<Well she seems very nice. I think you should tell her how you feel.>

But. . . but what if she-

???:<-laughs- Really Meddy, you've got to stop doubting yourself. Ever since the accident, which was NOT your fault, by the way, you've been doubting every single thing you do.>

-sigh- I know, I know. . . it's just that I every thing I did in the past hurt either me or my team. I just don't want history to repeat it's-self.

???:<Meddy, you told me Crewe's your best friend, right?>

Yeah, so?

???:<If that's true, wouldn't she at least be considerate enough to not laugh and let you down gently if she doesn't share your feelings?>

. . . -sighs again- You're right, as usual.

???:<-giggles- Anyways, how's Vi? Any change?>

Well, she's stopped being a pervert. She's still stuck on being a pessmist, though.

???:<-sigh- Oh well, it'll pass. She has to move on sometime.>

Actually, I think she might've already started. She and Kuckles are going out now.

???:< Vi and Knuxie? That's so cute!>

-laughs- Yeah, I guess.

. . . I need to wake up now, don't I?

???:<Yeah. But we can always talk again later.>

Right. But one more thing.

???:<Yes?>

I've always wondered why you wouldn't let me nickname you.

???:<Oh, that's easy. I just like my spieces name a lot!>

Well alrighty then.

-the person, or rather, the mon she's talking to comes into view-

-hugs- See you later, Kirlia.

Kirlia:<-hugs back- Bye Meddy.>

-the dream fades and Meddler wakes up-

-sigh- Well, I better go try to find Crewe. Again.

-begins to look for Crewe. Again.-

Sunny: Haven't thought of one yet.

-Yin snaps out of a daze-

Yin: <I found them!>

Found who?

Yin: <The ones who are always watching me! I can still feel their gaze upon me...>

Felis: <He's just being crazy as usual.>

Yin: <It was real! And you were there!>

Huh?

Yin: <It was a Purrloin wearing a hat, but I knew it was you!>

Yeah, you are just being crazy, I think.

-pets Yin-

Navel Mountaintop

(Continued from here in Time Shenanigans)

Danny — Ready?

-Algira and the Nidoqueen are at the edge of their geysers-

-the ground crumbles, and one moment later, the geysers erupt-

Algira — <Ack!> — recoils.

Nidoqueen — <Smooth...> — turns to me — <I know I know you...>

Danny — Don't get distracted! Ice Beam that geyser as usual!

— Algira! Water Pulse that geyser!

Algira — <What? But-> — charges as much power as she can, to the point she starts drawing from the geyser itself — <...Nifty!>

-The Nidoqueen is firing an Ice Beam at the base of the geyser, slowly freezing the water, while Algira is still charging energy-

Algira — <I'm going to try now!>

— Try it! And follow with an Icy Wind!

-Algira shoots the Water Pulse at the base of the pillar, and it explodes causing a bubbling effect; Algira descends as close as she can and uses Icy Wind on the base, given than she doesn't know Ice Beam-

Darn... that Nidoqueen is already quite ahead... could have brought Maekrite and his beam spam limit break for once...

-The Moon Ball remains static-

-I can see that Algira is making quite an effort to freeze the geyser however, and that despite the slowness she is decidedly not giving up-

I have to learn to trust in the rest of my team, too...

Danny — That technique is original, I admit, but you'll simply have no time to recover.

Algira -buzzes a bit offended- — <Annoying human! I'm earned this spot damn it!>

-I look at the Nidoqueen's pillar, which is almost completely formed and frozen. Can't help but curse my luck... but.-

— Come on Algira! Give it your all!

-Algira descends further and swirls around the geyser, inflicting as much Ice type energy she can upon it. Finally, the water starts freezing rapidly in a flower-like growing pattern.-

Nidoqueen — <Almost... there! Just as planned~>

-The Ice Beam stops, and a completely solid ice piece falls from the geyser, the Machoke grabbing it-

Danny — And this earns me the first assault...

Scyther -comes closer- — <Good work...> — sniffs — <Hey, this one smells like... milk?>

-Algira keeps working on the geyser until, about two full minutes after, she is done with it, releasing a solid ice pillar that Copahue helps hold-

Algira — <Ufff... I'm... I'm done for the moment...>

Machoke — <That was simply pathetic. Icy Wind on a geyser?>

Scyther -flies around- — <Well as you can see, it worked pretty well. It looks more solid than our own...>

-The other group retreats, but the Nidoqueen turns back to me then tilts her head-

Nidoqueen — <I wish I knew how...> — shakes her head and returns to her Trainer.

-I go pick Algira up-

— Sorry, Algira... I have not given you proper training for this...

-Algira smooches me and then goes to rest on my head. Ichtacya and Copahue help carrying the ice pillar a couple of meters away, besides a wooden cabin-

Ah.

-does her best to ignore Yin-
