ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Is training out on Route 102-

- Still walking with Wolf, Every and Mezzo -

Hmm... Maybe helping investigate who might've broken Charon out of jail, and who he might be working with could help Tagg get things off his mind? Yeah... That would probably make him feel better.

- Clears throat -

So, it looks like we're nearly at Oldale now.

Oh, cool.

Jab: <Cool, maybe there'll be stronger mons!>

Heh. -pets Jab-

I wonder where Katie is.

Felis: <Wow, I never would've guessed.>

Oh, good. It feels like we've been on this road for hours.

Harriet: <I just wanted to check that it was okay with you first, that's all. I'm totally not worried about ending up on the moon or something.>

Wulfric: <?>

Flare: -Shrugs.-

"...I think we're good to go, then. Guardé?"

Guardé: <Very well, AWAY!>

Oldale Town Pokémon Center

-All of us appear outside of the Pokémon Center, nothing out of the ordinary having happened due to the teleportation process.-

Wulfric: <!>

Flare: -Disorientated.- <Whoa. Haven't done that in a while...>

Stratus: <Zzz...>

Guardé: <He still sleeps?>

Treeo: <Yeah, he's a very heavy sleeper.>

Chord: <So he eats tonnes of food, then sleeps it off? Are you certain that he's not a Snorlax in disguise or->

Chord: <ARGH! Stop doing that!>

"Gah, this is taking forever. I'll just ask them and be over with it!"

Artesia drops down from the trees in front of Every, Mezzo, DS, and Wolf's party.

"Hey! You People! Have you seen this person?"

She holds up a photograph with a child nearly unrecognizable as Casval at age 5, mostly due to a lack of hair.

-jumps back as Artesia appears-

Um...I'm afraid I haven't. Sorry...

Not a clue. Who is he supposed to be?

Um... No, I don't think so. Sorry.

"Arceus. I knew I felt this was a waste of time."

She thinks for a while.

"Alright, I'm joining you guys! At least until I find my brother then!"

Oldale Town

<Francis: "Mmph. Someone doesn't learn fast...">

-Dizzy-

<Zoltan: "Whee! The world's spinning!">

<Kat: "Eurgh... He's no Xatu, that's for sure...">

"Well, I guess that worked itself out, right?"

....Er....

-Slam suddenly starts- <Ah! Who are you?>

Tangelo Island

Dintel idly sits on the battlegroud, swinging his tail and head, watching the world go, not even once wondering why Rex and I have been pretty must just standing there for a fair amount of hours.

Then again, he's Dintel.

"I am an expert Pokémon Trainer, of course! You can call me Artesia! I'm on a journey looking for my brother who I was separated from 14 long years ago."

She starts tearing, then recovers immediately.

"So that's that! I'll be making full use of you guys until then! If you need my help, I'll consider it!"

"Yeah, it did! Stratus seems fine. But he'll need a wash. So no harm done!"

Chord: <Apart from all the worry he caused us.>

Woolly: <Hey! I'm sure he didn't do it just to worry us. You know what he's like.>

Chord: <...> -Sighs.- <I guess-> -Notices Francis.- <...!>

-Chord nervously approaches the Ledian.-

Chord: <...Um...Hi there...>

Woolly: <Yay, he's finally going for it!>

Treeo: <Hope it works out. I'd hate to see him get rejected.>

Um....ooooookay.....

Slam: -yawns-

Jab: <You're an expert Pokemon trainer? Awesome!> -tugs Every's head- <Why aren't you an expert?>

-blushes-

<Francis: "Hi. So was there something that you wanted to say, or were you going to keep stuttering?">

<Kat: "... Remind me why you chose her of all of the Deltas that we encountered?">

"She was the one who made the challenge. I thought that she'd appreciate it more if she got to see the results firsthand..."

"Don't be discouraged, I can give you tips anytime you want! Anyways, I'll know if I see my brother because he'd be a hundred times more handsome and a thousand times smarter than he was in this picture!"

-Chord blinks, somewhat shocked.-

Treeo: <Oh boy.>

Lake: <This doesn't look so good.>

Chord: <Um...Well, I've seen you around, but I still don't know your name, so how about we introduce ourselves? I'm Chord...What's your name?>

Flare: <Who is that, again?>

Harriet: <That's Francis. She's a Delta Ledian.>

Wulfric: <?>

Flare: -Tilts head.- <Delta? What?>

Harriet: <Long story...>

... Okay, sure.

- Enters Oldale town -

So, we're here.

- Looks around for those of the others who are already here -

-I notice DS, Every, Mezzo, and everyone else in that group-

Hi guys!

Hi, Straw.

-Walks over to where everyone else is-

Hi Straw!

- Notices Tagg -

Oh, hi there, Tagg! How are you?

"Huh, more people! I don't mind, as it will increase the chances of finding him faster."
