ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Tulip: <Well, apparently you did get the Dark Stone back from Nacrene museum before the minions of Artemis and Scolipede did, yes.>

Artemis: <Um... Yeah, we were kind of... ruling the world in that other timeline. Ruling the world wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be...>

Mira: (looks somewhat ashamed, since she was the one responsible for stealing the Light and Dark Stones from Dragonspiral Tower and hiding them)

Tulip: <Thanks to you, we were able to summon Zekrom, once Sunny the Umbreon, who was an Espeon in the other timeline discovered he was the Hero of Ideals, yes!>

Teach: *takes the attacks* <ARG! YOU WON'T BEAT ME THAT EASILY! TAKE THIS!>

-blindly charges Limna or Tropius, unable to tell the difference...-

-...then collapses unconscious midway, out of adrenaline-

Ryklys: *recalls Teach* ...I... am impressed.

-stands silently for a second, blinking-

This hasn't happened in a while...

Portales: <oh wow! I sounded important! Oh, but I don't remember too much about it...> -snaps a picture of a passing Jane Balloon-

-Begins looking at the wax statues-

Huh, the Every statue looks awfully realistic...

Portales: -notices Anom- <Oh!> -floats over to him and tugs on his pant leg-

You weren't half bad yourself. Hardly anyone has ever given me that much trouble in a while.

-Stands still for a moment-

Now that was exciting.

Tulip: <Well, I regained my memory when I met with Goggles and Chase, since Goggles was the leader of the Resistance, and Chase was his assistant, yes. Goggles was a good leader, but had his odd moments, yes. Like when he licked the Dark Stone to check whether or not it tasted like licorice, yes.> (watches Portales float over to Anom) <Oh, Anom's here, yes.>

Oh, I guess he got his second badge off-screen, like most of us did.

Velvet: (gives me a look) <DS, hasn't the fourth wall suffered enough?>

Hmm?

Oh, hi Portales! I haven't seen you in ages!

-The WHT is wandering around the convention floor, wasting time until something-

-The BCF is still trying to find Pent, even though she keeps getting pulled back to the stage each time Maxi Eary has to perform a set-

-After somehow managing to get past security (having a scimitar, frying pan and all) she enters the con-

-Completely dissinterested with all the weird shenanigans going on around her. Fool brings out the Aries Orb that Pentigan gave her and starts polishing it-

-Hatbox, however, has set up his own stand and is taking a Q & A session, giving out signatures and giving out Dramatic Readings of his old works-

Route 110

- Sierra tries to figure out the best way to get the Plusle and Minun's attention, however, Mawile already has an idea how -

Mawile: <Hey, you two! Bow down to my awesomeness!>

Plusle and Minun: <Huh?>

Sierra: (sweatdrops)

Parisse walked out of his hotel in Slateport, having had a noodle incident involving secret power and Depthcharge the baby Kyogre.

J-con

Hatbox: Mmmhm! There! A signature from Hatbox!

-Hatbox hands the paper down to a boy in a Murkrow Hat-

Hatbox Fan: Thank you Hatbox! You're the best writer ever!

Hatbox: Mmm... Yes, I know I'm good! But modesty is key to success!

-The boy walks away with Hatbox's signature-

Hatbox: Now! Would anyone here like to hear the "Best News Story Ever"?

Hatbox Fans: YEAH!

-Hatbox puts on his Monocle and shuffles his papers-

Hatbox: Okay then! here is "The Best News Story Ever"!

-Hatbox begins reading the rediculous article in a OVERLY HAMMY voice-

Route 210

-Vyvyan facepalms and Bridget magics a bucket of popcorn into his hands-

"Well let's go check out J-Con." Parisse said with a grin, having heard of it yesterday. Repugnus sat on his shoulder cutely as he ran there.

Paresse had just entered there with Arcee clinging to him lovingly. "Well it might be interesting." She nodded.

- The Plusle and Minun notice Sierra -

Minun: <A trainer, huh?>

Plusle: <Ah, excellent! Now all we need is some glue and a lawnmower, and then->

Minun: <...> (gestures towards Plusle) <Catch him first, please.>

Sierra: (nods) Okay. Mawile, use... uh... what moves do you know?

Mawile: <Well, I have a really awesome Bite attack.>

Sierra: Oh, okay then. Bite the Plusle!

Mawile: (bites the Plusle with her second mouth)

Plusle: <Ah!> (flinches) <Ugh... That hurt... If only I had a blowtorch and some cupcakes, I could->

- Sierra throws a pokeball at the Plusle, which sucks him in -

- The pokeball shakes once, twice... click! Plusle was caught! -

Sierra: All right! Got it!

Minun: <And now my turn, you're going to need a Pokémon like me, as far as I can tell...>

-I follow "Straw" to a restaurant near the harbor-

Hey! You there!

"Straw":-Notices me and my Pokemon, and jumps a little- O-Oh, nice Straw costume! You want an autograph?

Why would I want an autograph if I can make one myself?

"Straw": What do you mean by that?

You know exactly what. What makes you think you can just steal my identity like that?

"Straw": Are you feeling alright, kid? Because you're definitely not me.

Prove it.

"Straw": Okay then. I, Straw, am a 15 year old Pokemon trainer, former Pokemon Ranger, have won the Unova, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh Pokemon Leagues, have a fear of Tyranitar, and was born in Saffron City.

Damn, he's good ...Okay then, since you claim to be me—

"Straw": Not claim, I am Straw.

Hush. If you are mee, then What were the four Pokemon that I was close to when I was little?

"Straw": O-Oh! Um...let's see...Aurora, Crescent and two others?

Wrong. Aurora, Crescent, Ditto, and Nincada.

"Straw": Well, how do I know you're not lying?

How do I know you aren't.

"Straw":Well, um...you see... Well, look at the time! I have to go check...the oven...to see...if the...weather...died... -Runs away-

-The crowd turns to me, now knowing that I'm the real Straw, bombarding me with questions-

Guys!

Crowd: Yes?

One at a time.

-They become slightly more organized, while I start answering questions-

Route 210

Bridget: <Aww... I didn't get to eat the popcorn...>

-Vyvyan watches on, wondering if Seirra is going to catch the Minum or not-

Pummelo Island, Totally Yesterday

"Algira, come on! Wake up!"

Algira stops dozing and opens her eyes, buzzyawns.

"About time... can you fight?"

Algira — <I feel so *yawn* tired... I just want to sleep more ♥>

"You can sleep all you want, just go and Ice Wind that Dragonite... he tried to Slam Shahinne..."

Algira — <   WHAT?   > — buzzes, flutters — <That's *yawn* it!>

Algira flutters away, tries to focus, and after randomly flying around she comes to roost on top of Dragonite's head.

Algira — <This is *yawn* for being mean to Sha*yawn*hinne...> — starts spraying Ice Wind on the Dragonite's head, whhile still dozing.

J-Con - Video Game Arcade

Felix waited patiently for Ohm to finish, letting Minty, Claudia, and Jemma out of their balls to stretch their limbs. Anya and Grovyle were left in their balls; people probably wouldn't feel too comfortable with a Grovyle or a Scizor running around after all. May spent her time by polish Ronny's hide, using a clean hankerchief and a mild cleaning solution from her bag. The metal Pokemon let out an odd, reverberating noise of satisfaction as it cuddled against her waist, Taylor nestled in her chestnut-brown hair.

Ohm, meanwhile, bleated in happiness as she defeated her final opponent. On-screen, Ohm's character (Daisy) made a silly face while her defeated opponent (Star) gave a blank, fear-inspiring stare.

Referee: Congratulations, player; you have won 20 consecutive rounds in J-Team vs Capcom! Please accept this collector's edition Sophisticated Sandshrew action figure. Nice Ampharos costume, by the way. *hands her a Sandshrew action figure equipped with a hat, monocle, umbrella, and kung-fu grip (tea set sold separately)*

Ohm: *accepts the figure* <Oh, it's Dintel!> *presses an indention in the figure's back*

Dintel Figure: *is voiced by Christopher Robin Miller* My finest salutations. *press* I can has li'l stars? *press* But of course, fine Sir.

Ohm: *giggle-bleat* <Silly Dintel.>

Pummelo Stadium - Arena

Dragonite: <Aaaarrgggh...zzz...> *ends up falling unconscious due to the ice*

Drake: !!!

Audience:

Rex: Gasp.

Route 110

Sierra: Okay, Mawile! Use Bite again!

Mawile: (bites Minun with her other mouth)

Minun: <Ow...> (tries to use Quick Attack, but it doesn't do much) <Ugh... Of course, it's a steel type.>

Sierra: (throws a Great Ball at Minun)

- Minun is sucked into the Great Ball, it shakes once, twice... click! Minun was caught! -

Sierra: Yes! We did it, Mawile!

Mawile: <Well, of course. Did you expect anything less from me?>

J-Con

-While polishing an Orb, a Fool cosplayer walks by, before doing a Double Take-

Cosplayer: "Oh! Didn't see you there! That is a damn good cosplay you've got there! Nearly had me... Fooled!"

-The cosplay has a small chuckle, Fool just looks bemused-

My... what?

Cosplayer: "Your cosplay! Your costume is absolutely perfect! You even manage to get the Dreadlocks right! Most people have a problem with that.."

This is not a costume, These. are. my clothes.

Cosplayer: "Woah, this thing has gone to your head! You actually think you are Fool."

...

Cosplayer: "Anyway, want to play the new J-Team vs Capcom game? It's got a special, pre-release demo here!"

Sure, Why Not?

-Fool places the orb in the bag before following the Cosplayer to the games stand-

This is weeeeird.

Route 210

-Vyvyan claps-

Great! You got two more Pokemon to your team! You're learning fast!

-Vyvyan holds his own Pokeball in his hand, which contains an Electike he caught offscreen-

Well... now that we both caught an Electric type Pokemon on this Route... Why don't you say we head back to Slateport and go and... watch a contest?

edited 30th Nov '11 2:58:15 PM by PippingFool

Parisse blinked as he saw things everywhere. "Sheesh... Everyone else gets recognized.. I mustn't be that important then..." He said with a sigh as Depthcharge popped out the glomp him, the baby Kyogre playfully jumping up and down on him, people were shocked to see a baby Kyogre and thus crowded.

Route 110

Sierra: (nods) Sure! Let's go!

Walking Back to Slateport

-Vyvyan talks to Seirra again-

Vyvyan: What contest would you like to see? Beauty? Cuteness? Coolness? Smartness? Toughness? The coice is yours Seirra...

Pummelo Stadium, Yesterday

"...Wow!"

Silent falls speechless, as Algira (of all mons) manages to down Dragonite. Algira seems to not have noticed and is still dozing.

"Hmmm... Algira??? Come on, it's a beautiful day..."

Algira — <...What?>

After some convincing Algira returns to Silent's side of the field. Silent waits for Drake to send his last Pokémon while instructing Algira to Agility during the battle.
