ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-The calm on New Island is suddenly broken by a massive Aura Sphere carrying on into a tree behind Luke and company-

<??? #1: "Muahahahaha! You're still falling for that trick? You really are hopeless!">

<??? #2: "Grr! Come out and fight already!">

Nova tentatively settles down in Steven's arms, her ears still laid back. Dana, however, is completely at ease on his head, and chatters about nothing in particular.

In Kanto, Crewe stands watching Masque tutor Robin, then turns absently to where Electivire is sparring with Damian.

"Hey, Electivire? Where's Dana? I haven't seen her for a little bit. Usually she's running around getting underfoot and asking for berries, but she's been awful quiet lately..."

The Electric type freezes mid Thunder Punch and turns to stare.

<You... lost... Dana... ? You lost Dana?! How could you lose Dana?! AGAIN!>

- Decides to go find Anom -

DS? Where are you going?

Not at all, Tracer.

...Hot Springs? How delightful! I've always wanted to go to Hot Springs.

-All of us jump in fright, turning around to find a tree that had been fine moments ago now destroyed.-

Chord: <What? What was that?!>

Guardé: -Extends his arm-blades.- <WHO'S THERE?! Show yourselves?>

Lake: <Hey, did those voices sound familiar to you guys? Or is it just me?>

Treeo: <No, it's not just you.>

Harriet: -Wingpalms- <Eurgh. Not these two again...>

- Looks over at Mezzo -

Oh, I'm just going to find Anom.

Got to go. Sorry. See you later!

Can I come with? It's not like we have that much to do right now.

<??? #1: "Grr! You really think that more goons are going to faze me, Richard?!">

<Richard: "... I don't have goons in this universe, you nimrod!">

<Mike: "... Then who's-">

-The form of a Lucario appears from some bushes, with the form of a Zoroark materializing floating in mid-air a short distance away-

<Mike: "Oh! Hey!">

- Nods -

Sure.

Muddy: -Takes a dip- <Ahh...>

Crochet: -Does the same- <This is great.>

Helios: -Is staying out of the water- <I think I'll stay right here.>

-gets up and follows DS-

Woolly: <Mike!> -Waves hello.- <Hi!>

Stratus: <Oh, Richard! I have a package for-> -Stops, blinks.- <Wait, no. Wrong universe.>

Chord: <Wait, hold on! You guys know these two?>

Lake: -Nods.- <Yeah. It's a long story, but we've met a few times before.>

Guardé: -To Richard.- <YOU! I don't know what you're doing, but I don't like it one bit! By my blades, I'll bring you to justice!>

-The Gallade charges at Richard...but is stopped by Chord using String Shot to reel him back in and tie him up.-

Guardé: <HEY! Unhand me!>

Chord: <And let you get killed? Do you have any clue how bad that would make me look?>

Lake: -Sweatdrops.- <Sorry about them. They have some issues that they need to work out.>

"If you don't mind me asking, what are you two doing here? Besides the obvious, that is."

- Walks over to where I saw Anom last -

Anom? You here?

-The other members of my team present are also enjoying the springs to differing extents-

<Nadia: "Aah...">

-On Nadia's head-

<Toothless: "I think I'll sit this one out.">

<Zoltan: "Mmm... Aren't you going to come further in, Ms. Francis?">

<Francis: "I prefer to keep my wings dry, thank you very much.">

<Thog: "Aah... This would be the perfect setting to study poetry...">

<Teala: "What do you suppose the others are up to?">

-On a boat en route for New Island-

-Two trainers with a small group of Pokemon are conversing with each other-

Trainer #1: "Urgh... I'm so sorry about this..."

Trainer #2: "No, I should have seen this coming... I just hope that those two don't get into as much trouble as that one time they got into that fight on the beach..."

<Grovyle: "Ugh... I swear, it's like those two take idiot pills or something...">

<Kangaskhan: "I've got to admit, sometimes I wish Richard would grow up already...">

<Young!Kangaskhan: "Huh? But he is...">

<Kangaskhan: "Not that kind of grown-up, dear.">

<Venomoth: "Well, on the bright side, at least we're getting together again.">

<Beheeyem: "I guess...">

-New Island-

<Richard: "So what are you dipwads doing here anyways?">

Rex: Aww...later, Mezzo!

Bye, Rex.

Harriet: -Rolls her eyes.- <Well, you're still just as pleasant to talk to as you always were.>

Stratus: <Well, um. We've been away doing some stuff for a few days and we've just come back to meet up with everyone again.>

Lake: <Hmm...Say, you two wouldn't happened to have seen Tracer around here, would you?>

Hi, DS, hi, Mezzo.

Oh, hi there, Anom! How are you today?

Feeling fine.

-New Island-

<Mike: "Nope. Why? Was he here?">

<Richard: "Yep. He left last night for Knot Island after making a short stop to pick up a few of those cute friends of yours.">

<Mike: "WHAT?!">

<Richard: "Oh right, I didn't tell you that earlier...">

Oh, you're a boy again?

Lake: <Knot Island? That's one of the Sevii, right?>

Stratus: -Nods.- <Most peoplemons call it "One Island" though.>

Chord: <Well gee, that's a very imaginative name.>

Woolly: <Hmm. Could we go over and see them?>

Treeo: <How, though? They've probably taken the boat, and it's a bit far to fly...>

Guardé: -Manages to break free of the thread tying him up.- <Not to worry! TELEPORT!>

Everyone else: <NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!>

-All of us are cut off by Guardé teleporting us away...-

Knot Island - Ember Spa

SPLASH!

-The next thing we know, we're all soaking wet.-
