ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Jab: <I am being careful! This is awesome! ^_^> -continues zooming around on patches of sauce-

- Is now watching Velvet use her psychic powers to control part of the wind again to help Odette practice flying -

Hmm... Good, it seems she can stay in the air a little longer now. Her flight is still pretty wobbly, though...

Meanwhile, in the Dewford Pokemart

- Nameless NPC girl is shopping, while her Wigglytuff and Manectric are talking amongst themselves in a corner -

The Wigglytuff: <So, Thunderbolt? Decided on whether to do the coolness or toughness contests when we get to Slateport? I'll definetly be partcipating in the cuteness contests!> (grins)

Thunderbolt: <... You do know that we'd have to earn the ribbons from Verdanturf and Fallarbor first before we could do that?>

Wigglytuff: <Huh? Really?> (crosses her arms) <Well, that's silly!>

Nameless NPC girl: Thunderbolt! Octavia! Time to go!

- Thunderbolt and Octavia follow their trainer out of the Pokemart, not paying much attention as Sierra and another female Magma Grunt enter the building to do some shopping -

Female Magma Grunt: So, you're feeling better today?

Sierra: (nods) Yes, I feel a lot better!

Female Magma Grunt: Huh... Glad to hear that, but... what happened to put you in such a good mood?

Sierra: (smirks) That's a secret!

Female Magma Grunt: (shrugs) Okay.

Sierra: So, anyways... How'd the battle with that giant tortilla go?

<Sure you are! Just keep a lookout for everyone else!>

Crewe tries to speed up and ends up accidentally knocking over a few workers.

Elsewhere in town, Effie and her team are helping with the cleanup effort. "Okay guys, use all your special attacks. And be careful not to hurt anybody."

"Marsh." Argo nods and turns to the team, motioning towards the street. "Marshtomp!"

"Buizel!" Bluebird sets about Aqua Jetting across the streets, until Argo sticks out one arm and catches her.

"Marshtomp," he admonishes, firing a Water Gun at the street alongside Discovery.

"Zel..." Bluebird sighs and joins in with her own Water Gun.

"Phish! ^_^!" Bounty happily fires Bubblebeams all over the place, a few contributing to cleanup but mostly just getting people wet.

Yeah.

So. . . want me to help you look for him?

Sure, thanks!

Meanwhile

Jab: <Right!> -does so-

I wonder where Katie's gone off to.

Crewe follows close behind Jab, carefully avoiding the sauce and puddles of water from cleanup, keeping a lookout for any group members.

- Looks over at Wolf -

Hmm... Good question, I haven't seen her in a few days. I'm guessing she's probably with one of the others in the group.

- Velvet and the other Pokémon continue trying to help teach Odette how to fly in the background -

-has sent out Breeze and Salamence to look for Jab-

Salamence: <Wheeee~ I'm not tired any more!>

Breeze: -in Salamence's slipstream- <Oh, that's good!>

-Happens to be walking by some member of the group-

-sends out Kylee-

Kylee, I need you to look for a Sneasel. Actually, make that two Sneasels.

Kylee:<Would these Sneasels happen to be the ones we saw the other day?>

Yup!

Kylee:<Alright.> -flies off-

So, are you challenging gyms?

Yeah, I am. I've already beaten Rustboro, I'll take on Dewford soon.

Crewe spots Tagg and grabs Jab's arm, pulling him to a stop.

<Look, it's Tagg!>

Jab: <Huh? Oh! Hi Tagg!>

I've beaten Rustboro and Dewford. And as I'm walking back from beating the gym here, what do I see? A bunch of random people, some of them from our group, fighting a giant tortilla. Basically, a typical day for us.

Oh yeah, Star mentioned that to me...

-I am walking around Dew ford, wondering what the locals mean by their crazy trends-

-Notices Crewe and Jab-

Oh, hey guys.

-Walks over-

She did? I didn't notice her there. Then again, I was a little busy watching Crewe, who was a sneasel thanks to the armband, climb up the side of the tortilla. I mean, seriously. That like, Dasiy climbing up a gym leader's leg or something. Not that that would ever happen, of course.

Kylee:-spots two sneasels with Tagg-

-flies down-

Kylee:<Excuse me. Are you the two sneasels my trainer and I saw the other day?>

<Hi, Tagg. What's up? Did you see the tortilla yesterday?>

I hope she's okay.

Weird...

Meanwhile

Jab: (to Kylee) <Yeah, that's us. Have you seen my Trainer?>

Pummelo Stadium

Silent walks into the battleground dressed in a very casual attire◊ adequate for the island's weather and exposure in the Stadium, and after nodding to Drake, observes Ditto for a moment.

A Ditto... this will require very specific maneuvering...

Silent produces a Pokéball and sends out [Dintel the Sandshrew♂] who is holding a Eviolite.

Dintel -looks at Ditto — <Mr. Putty!>

"...Beware, Dintel, that's about to change. Since that thing is obviously going to Transform, go with Hone Claws into a Mud Slap."

Dewford Town, hotel

-Mezzo is still in her room going over badge designs-

Hmm...purple or black?

Sunny: <Black, definitely.>

Felis: <Purple.>

And what should it look like? Oh, maybe a crescent moon...or an eclipse! An Eclipse Badge would be awesome.

-writes down notes-

Pummelo Island

-Forte is watching Silent's battle, with Icicle in his lap and Shadow at his side-

I'm sure she is, Wolf.
