ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Under PEFE

Abigail: <Yeah, very convincing correction there, Doc.> *winks*

PEFE Mainframe

Root PEFEgon: Popping interest queue...

New lifesigns detected in pit ecosystem, identified as Tagg {"Crochet", "Doc", "Thresher"}, Tangent {"Abigail"}...

spawn plan_rescue_contingency...

spawn determine_activity...

plan_rescue_contingency returned, 3ms

determine_activity returned, 2min, result: ROMANCE- pushing interest queue...

Doc: -Attempts to hide his eyes under his hat-

Crochet: -Decides to change the subject, for both of their sakes- <A-Anyway, do you guys have any idea how deep this place is? We saw these massive springs that looked as big as a Wailord earlier.>

Thresher: <Nope. We're as blind as you are.>

Under PEFE

Abigail: <I didn't study the architecture here in depth... I do know that "Wailord" would be a massive understatement for anything structural, though. We have to be at least a mile below the surface... though the dome makes that hard to judge...>

-Still walking-

Crochet: <Well, they looked as big as a Wailord from our vantage point.>

Doc: -Nearly walks into an empty pipe- <What's this thing?>

Crochet: <Maybe the Pokefutures people that Muddy told us about made this when this thing belonged to them.>

Doc: <From those memories Tagg showed back at the GC, they remind me of...those people.>

Abigail: <Those people?>

<I snuck a peek at a Pokefutures file once... it was horrible. If anyone else is like them out there....> *shudders*

Doc: <They...killed my mother in front of me...and then they did...things to me after taking me from the Dreamyard. I don't even want to go into detail about what exactly they did.>

Crochet: -Looks concerned- <Who? You always did dodge the question about your parents.>

Thresher: <The others told me.>

Doc: -Looks down- <It was Cipher. When I first met Tagg, I was a Shadow Pokemon. He, and the other humans, they were the first ones I knew that weren't total monsters.>

Crochet: <Doc...>

Abigail: <...> *too teared up to say anything*

Doc: <But now I have all of you guys. Crochet, Thresher, Sentinel, Muddy, Helios, Victini, Tagg, and everyone else on the team and in this group.>

-Smiles-

<At least they can't take you guys away from me.>

Crochet: -Hugs Doc, albeit carefully due to the rather sharp arm blades- <Yeah, you have us now.>

Abigail: <Oh! Right!>

<We look out for each other.> *floats closer to Thresher unconsciously*

-at about this time, the pit floodlights cut off, in what is most definitely a malfunction of some kind-

Abigail: <Oh!>

<...well...> *looks up*

<Huh, the lights of the facility look like stars from down here...>

-in what is certainly a coincidental yet unrelated malfunction, the PA system at this level starts playing romantic jazz-

Under PEFE HQ

<Nathan: "... I can't help but feel like we're intruding here...">

<Vlad: "... Wait, if they're hugging, does that mean that I can too?">

Under PEFE HQ

Doc: <...What?>

Crochet: <If I didn't know any better I'd say it was planned. It is kind of nice though.>

Doc: <Yeah, it is.>

-Both just sit down enjoying the view-

Dewford Town

Solosis: <What in the world was that anyway? Especially that singing Gyarados.>

Slowpoke: -Is a bit too distracted with the new King's Rock he's wearing to pay attention-

Solosis: -Sighs- <This'll probably be so much simpler once you evolve.>

Now - Slateport City

"... Do you guys ever get the feeling that we missed something major a while ago?"

<Teala: "Actually... Yeah, I think that I did...">

<Kat: "Eh... I'm sure that it wasn't anything potentially world-ending... We'll ask the others if anything happened.">

Now - Dewford Town

<Lake: "So were we going to try and take on the local gym? I mean, that Fraxure already seems nervous enough as it is...">

<Delta!Fraxure: "Pl-Please? Can't we do this later?">

<Gene: "Hmm... I guess it couldn't hurt to deviate from the traditional sequence a bit... Plus Muddy and Roc said that they weren't sure how Tagg would react to knowing that they were here in Hoenn...">

<Nadia: "... So now what?">

<Gene: "Hmm... I guess we could rest overnight here and explore someplace else tomorrow... I mean, if Roxanne was like that with us, it probably doesn't matter what order we take the gyms in...">

<Delta!Fraxure: "I guess...">

Parisse sighed as he was riding atop Megatron. "Let's go to Slateport..." He yawned and slid on his goggles as Megatron nodded and zoomed on across the water.

-Slouch is wandering around Granite Cave, doing some crap. I dunno. Exploring, seeing how big the cave is, finding hidden items, whatever. It doesn't really matter.-

-His Pokemon are mostly doing their own things, but they're mostly close by.-

Nick: -Is looking around for things to put in his sack-
-Has so far found a couple sparkly rocks, some googly eyes, a mud cake, a glowing... Thing, and a strange floating rock with arm-like protrusions-

Geodude: -Wakes up-

-Wait...-

Geodude: -Climbs out of Nick's sack, glares at him and floats off grumpily-

-Never mind, then.-

Nick: <HEY, I NEVER SAID YOU COULD LEAVE!>
-Chases after the Geodude-

Dewford Town, a few hours ago

-takes the badge from Paresse-

Thanks. You were pretty strong too.

Looking at this badge makes me realize something. I hadn't even considered what kind of badge I'll have when I'm a Gym Leader...

Pummelo Island

Forte: I'm not scared of Dragonite. That's what I have Icicle here for. And Marine knows Ice Beam in case I need a backup.

Dewford Town, present time

-Mezzo has spent the past few hours at a desk, with a few notes and drawings scattered around-

Shadow Badge? No, that sounds too cliché.

Darkness Badge? No...

Evil Badge? No way, I want to show that Dark types aren't evil...

Sunny: <Maybe you should sleep on it. You've been going over ideas for hours.>

-turns her head toward Sunny, and a lightbulb goes on in her head-

Sunny. Umbreon. Umbra. Umbra Badge? I kind of like the sound of that.

Sunny: <Huh?>

Sorry, just thinking... you're right. I should go to bed.

Rex: Oh, good point. *grins* I guess Forte is better equipped to fight dragons than either of us are.

Zippy: <I could probably shock him a couple of times and make him uncomfortable...>

Rex: *pats her gently*

-Vesuvius is keeping an eye on Numbskull to make sure he doesn't get lost-

-Riptide is tagging along with Vesuvius-

-Bernard is tagging along with Riptide-

-Ava is tagging along with Bernard sharpening her lances in a corner, facing the wall-

Sableye 1: -Peeks over a rock, notices Ava-
<Oh, goody... Looks like an opportunity for some ~evil tricks~...>

Sableye 2: <Got anything in mind, broski?>

Sableye 1: <Ssh! She'll hear you!>

Sableye 2: <Alright, Broseph.>

Sableye 1: <So anyway, I was thinking we'd- >

Ava: -Doesn't turn around-
<Can I help you?>

Sableye 2: <Nah.>

Sableye 1: <Drat... We were just leaving.>

Ava: <Oh, that's too bad...>
<...You know, you can stay if you want...>

Sableye 1 + 2: -Nervously- <Err...>

Ava: -Turns around, revealing her blood coated lances-
-Eyes glint-
<I don't mind...>

Sableye 1: -Shrinks back-
<Nothankyouohlookatthetimegoodbye!>
-Scampers off-

Sableye 2: O.O
<Umm... Bye!>
-Runs away-

Ava: <Hmm! Weren't they nice~?>
-Goes back to sharpening her lances-

Hoenn

"The girl is currently dancing on the boat, her senses stripped and the only part of her body moving being her legs and arms. Dancing beneath the Diamond sky with one hand waving free, shilouetted by the sea. After time passes almost seamlessly, the boat approaches a looming wall. The man tells the girl not to be concerned about what's over The Wall, still, she can't help but feel curious about what is over The Wall"

AU

-Snowman is still dancing with Sol (Or rather, spinning Sol around and making her move to appear as if she was dancing)—

Snowman: <The... first man I met came from the Castelia Dens, he was all that a mon 'ought to be... The next had a fourtune in Silver, Gold and Gems... and the third was crazy for me~

And as they looked nice. And as they talked nice. And as their souls were always white as snow~ And as they knew how to treat a girl respectivly... I said I'd let them... GO!>

-Snowman hit's Sol's face down-

Snowman: <THAT is how you keep your head held high! THAT is all you need to know~! Yes we gazed at the starry night, yes we even had a meal by candlelight! But that's as far as it could go~

No, you don't just smile and let your guard down... when you have the chance of saying "No". Once you've met them~ you don't just let them~ When you can always let them... go~>

Meteor Falls

-Vyvyan tosses the Pokeballs into the air, releasing a Baltoy, Chimecho, Mightyena and Moonbeam the Lunatone-

Okay Moonbeam! Let me introduce you to your new teammates!

Moonbeam:

-Moonbeam floats over to Vyvyan's side, as he introduces his Pokemon-

This is my Baltoy, Nazca. Nazca isn't the most talkative of Pokemon, even in telepathy. When Nazca does talk (Telepathically to me of course), it's always some form of Brutal Honesty.

Nazca: <I still don't, and probably never will, understand why you wanted to join this loon.>

This Mightyena here is Banzai, he's one of the first Pokemon I met... and the only non-psychic Pokemon on my team. I normally get Bridget to translate for him sometimes, but I never can trust what he says sometimes...

-Banzai howls and snarls at Moonbeam (It wasn't very effective...) before regaining his position-

Banzai: <Was that scary? PLEASE tell me I was scary!>

Moonbeam: <I'm sorry... It really wasn't)

-Banzai starts whimpering-

Banzai: <Ooh... I just don't think I'm cut out for this... I'm a MIGHTYENA... I'm supposed to be scary 3:!>

The Chimecho here is Lady Lu-

-Lady Luck wraps her ribbontail around Vyvyan's eyes-

EEEK! Stop that right now Lady Luck! You know I'm afraid of the dark!

Lady Luck: <But your head is so huggable! The more hugs the better I say! >

-After a bit of prying, Vyvyan finally gets the Chimecho off his head-

Yeah... She likes doing that... I though she got over it by now...

Lady Luck: <You look huggable too Lunatone :3>

Moonbeam: <:3>

And this... -points to the Gardevoir-

This is Bridget. My very best friend in the entire world. Whenever I was in danger, Bridget was there. Whenever I was kicked, punched or bullied, Bridget was there. Whenever the world never gave a second damn about me... Bridget was there...

Bridget: <Stop the flattery Vyv, I already know how great I am So yeah, you got the drill. Vyv and I are unseparateable>

Moonbeam: <It's nice that you have a friendship like that!>

-Unbeknowest to Vyvyan and his Pokemon, an empty Pokeball has rolled out of Vyvyan's pocket and has landed on a unsuspecting Solrock-

The Dream World

- Is currently having a conversation with Artemis inside my dream home... oh, and Goggles is there too, for some reason, licking a candy table from the winter catalogue -

Artemis: <... So, DS? What do we do about this?>

<Artemis, calm down. It probably was Not What It Looks Like. Heck, It's never what it looks like!>

Artemis: <Wait, wha- Aren't you worried at all!? I thought you hated love triangles!>

<Artemis, from what you told me, it seemed pretty innocent. I mean, you said the girl was the one to make the moves, right?>

Artemis: <Well, yeah...>

<See?>

Artemis: <But, DS! You don't understand!> (looks around to make sure no one else is outside listening) <He showed her the armband!>

<Wait, what?>

Artemis: <See? We must eliminate the potential threat!>

<I... don't get it. Why would he show that to someone he just met? And not just anyone, but a Team Magma member...>

Artemis: <DS! We can't take any chances! Murder that hypotenuse!>

Goggles: (gasps, and looks over at us) <NO! NOT THE UNICORN!>

- Artemis and I give Goggles some weird looks, resuming our conversation like nothing happened -

<Anyways... Artemis, that sounds a little... harsh, doesn't it?>

Artemis: <But...>

<Listen, I'll talk to Wolf tomorrow and find out what really happened. Okay? I'm sure he has a perfectly good explaination.>

Artemis: (sighs) <Fine.>

So, that was weird...

- Wakes up -

-I wake up-

I just had the strangest dream. There was a giant tortilla attacking the town!

Naida:<That wasn't a dream.> -Points to some people who are cleaning up the tomato sauce-

That was real?

Katie: -is already out training Peppermint; she's sooooooo close to evolving-

-wakes up, slowly-

- Looks at the date and time on my Poketch, while trying to figure out what to try to get done today -

-mumbling- Good morning.
