Fwomph
-Is wandering around, contemplating the orb-
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
You're shivering. Are you afraid?
-Felis turns his head toward the window-
Felis: <Go away.>
Sunny: <Hey, it's Jab!>
-hops over to the window-
Sunny: <What are you doing out there?>
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.
Dunsparce Cloud
Jab: <I was wandering, and I found you.>
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
Parisse/Paresse
Parisse went into Granite cave. "Alright.. Apparently Steven is here so I just have to drop this to him and scoot out right. He sent out Repugnus. "Use flash so we can see in here." The bulbasaur nodded.
Live the rebound, welcome to the breakdown!
Armaldo: <...!>
-Armaldo responds with Rock Slide, burying Armaldo in rocks-
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
Armaldo: !!! *buried* ... x_x
Roxanne: Grrr... *recalls it and sends out Golem*
Golem: <Rock on. 
>
-Amaldo uses Metal Claw-
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
Golem: *staggers backwards* <Whoa, slow your roll, home slice.> *sends a shockwave along the ground for a Magnitude attack*
-Worn down from prior attacks, Armaldo faints-
-I send out Tentacruel-
Tentacruel: <Arrrrr!>
Nail it with a Surf!
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
Golem: <...WIPE OUUUUUT! @_@> *fainted by the 4x weakness to water*
Roxanne: Down to my last one. *sends out Probopass* Even if we lose, let's show them out best!
Probopass: *unleashes the mini-noses*
You're shivering. Are you afraid?
-Sunny opens the window-
Sunny: <Come in!>
Felis: <Why, runt?>
Sunny: <Because it's nice to have a friend for a visit.>
Felis: <He counts as a friend?>
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.
Dunsparce Cloud
Jab: <Well I don't like you either.> -sticks out tongue at Felis and hops into the room- <Thanks, Sunny.>
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
Meanwhile, in PC storage
Swindle: <... So, I always wanted to... I don't know, be more than just a regular Emolga, doing everything every other Emolga could do. I wanted to have my own special talent!>
Sparq: <Uh-huh. What happened then?>
Swindle: <Well, I tried several different things...>
- A brief flashback montage shows Swindle attempting several different things, such as juggling, chimney sweeping, sculpting, playing chess, Luxray taming... -
Swindle: <... but none of them were really my thing. Then one day, I discovered my true special talent completely by accident!>
Flashback
A younger Swindle: (looking somewhat confused) <... My special talent is... stealing things?> (Beat) <...> (grins) <I'm okay with that!>
Present
Swindle: <After that, I continued experimenting with my newly discovered skill, when I heard of her... Gardevoir, the greatest thief ever.> (grins) <Naturally, I had to get even better, if I were to get anywhere as good as her, and so, I took on bigger and bigger challenges!>
Sparq: <So, are you as good as her, now?>
Swindle: (shrugs) <I don't know, but since I'm capable of stealing things that are downright impossible to steal at this point, I must be getting close!> (grins)
Sparq: (can't help but smile at Swindle)
My fanfic
Slateport City: Battle Tent - Viewing Room
Felix: So, in the end we never got to see the contests. But, at least we have a lot of Pokeblocks now.
Claudia: <Yummy candy~> *nomming*
Minty: <May sure has a lot of berries~> *nomming*
Ohm: <These are great!> *chew chew*
Anya: <Hmmm...the battle is starting.>
Mantisk: <I wonder how she'll do.>
Jemma: <Mya~>
In the arena below, May and her opponent face off. Taking a deep breath, May steels her nerves, shaking her head.
May: Okay...I can do this. *looks at her opponent* I'm ready.
-I am still walking around Rustboro, this time looking for The Poochyena that I saw-
Slateport City: Battle Hall - Arena
May: ...Darn... *recalls Torkoal with a sigh* Looks like I lost. *bows to her opponent, exiting the field*
Viewing Room
May: ... *sits next to Felix*
Felix: Erm...May...you were...
May: Horrible. I know.
Felix: N-no, that's not it. Yo-
May: *holds up a hand, cutting him off* It's alright; I'm not mad. A little embarrassed, maybe, but not mad. *sighs* I guess I need to learn more about Pokemon before I try a serious challenge like this again. I might've won if I'd handled my team better.
Felix: May...
May: Anyway, why don't you try, Felix?
Felix: M-me?
May: *grins* Yeah. Anya and Mantisk still don't respect you, right? Maybe seeing you battle might change their minds.
Felix: B-but...but I've never battled before...
May: Oh, come on. You never know until you try~
Felix: May, I really don't think I want to do this...
Arena, several minutes later
Felix: I can't believe she convinced me to do this... *looks over at his opponent and gulps, having selected three rental mons prior to entering* Okay...okay...just calm down...I can do this...I can do this...
Viewing Room
Mantisk: <This should be good for a laugh.>
Anya: <Hmm.>
Ohm: <Aww, don't be so mean, guys. We could at least pretend that he has a chance. :3>
Jemma: <Myeah!>
Minty and Claudia: *continue eating*
Arena
Felix: *gulps down a knot in his throat, swallowing his anxieties and turning to his opponent* Okay...here I go!

Swindle: (chuckles) <Heh, you wouldn't believe some of the things I did...>
Flashback, Mistralton City
- Skyla can be seen talking to some police officers -
Skyla: I'm not kidding! Somebody stole my plane! While I was flying it!
Flashback, Hearthome City
- The three contest judges can be seen exiting the contest hall -
Keira: Well, we sure saw some nicely dressed up Pokémon today!
Jordan: Yeah... The appeals weren't particularly impressing though...
Dexter: That's probably because we've pretty much seen everything by now.
- A strange sound can be heard -
Keira: What was-
- The three judges turn around, only to see that the entire building is missing -
Keira: ...
Dexter: ...
Jordan: ... Does this mean we get the day off tomorrow?
Flashback, unspecified location
- An Alakazam has just chained down his trainer's car -
The Alakazam: <There, that ought to stop that thief that keeps stealing our things.>
The next morning
- The Alakazam stares blankly at the car, which is still chained down in the same spot, but is now facing the opposite direction -
- There is also a note attached to it, reading: "If I want it, I'll take it! 
" -

-Fool starts sinking lower and lower into the ocean-
Let the sea carry to my imagination
"And the world around her... changed, the seas became full of technicolour, life was blooming and darting everywhere, the swirls of colour making murals in the ocean. Strange powers were present and the Vaporeon-girl couldn't be happier as she sawm and danced through her new environment"
