ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Hmm... Yeah, it is.

-I am on the underpass, when the Mightyena jump out of the bushes-

What the? Mightyena?

Mightyena:<Get them!>

-They pounce-

Yeah...no. Krakatau!

Krakatau:<Don't you guys learn?> -Uses Eruption, burning and K Oing several of them-

Mightyena:<Ugh...I told you this was a bad idea...>

Mightyena Alpha:<I MUST HAVE REVENGE!!!> -Is being dragged back-

Well, that was random.

-Is near DS and Tagg-

Heh, it's because the League over in [Britan Analouge] closed down theirs.

Not at J-Con; Yesterday

The PEFE zeppellin has arrived to Goldenrod City. Silent, Maekrite and Shahinne get down first and then help Faith and her mons down as well.

Shahinne — <♬~> — flies around, thinks of "her" Trophy.

Maekrite — <Hmmm...> — takes a look down to the city and then to the forests from the heliport. — <Are we staying here a couple of days, or are we moving right to PEFE?>

Silent frowns. "Haven't decided yet, Maekrite. But at least I'd like to dinnertime around here, so come on, let's go." Turns and walks Faith in.

Oh, hey Pentigan.

Goldenrod City

Joe: *assists Faith as well, looking at Silent curiously*

Faith: Ah, thank you. *accepts Silent's help, disembarking from the Zeppelin* I've never had the opportunity to ride via air before. Certainly an interesting experience.

Fang: *leaps from her shoulder, scurrying around under Shahinne* <Yay, we made it home!>

Breezy: *flutters around happily* <It's nice to fly without getting blown around~>

Dash: *leaps off gently, Orchid resting on his back* <Ms. Orchid, I think we're back home.>

Orchid: <Rrr?> *stirs, shaking her head* <Oh, we are.> *pats Dash's back* <Thank you, Dashroo ("li'l Dash"). I am happy to see you no longer suffer from tharn (confusion).>

Dash: *confused* <Umm...you're welcome?>

-Slam is wandering around the convention, when he bumps into a fan's legs-

Fan: Hello! You're Slam, right? You're my favorite mon from the J-team! -pets Slam- See you! -walks off-

-Slam just stands there-

Slam: <Oh, hello. I'm Slam. Nice to meet a fan.>

Mauville

-Fool appearifyies behind Tagg, wanting to catch him off gaurd... For once-

Slateport Contest Hall

-Vyvyan and Sierra are watching a Cute Contest. The participants are a Skitty, Mareep, Eevee and a Garbodor

Vyvyan: -To Sierra, pointing at the Garbodor- Now that, is not a Pokemon you see here everyday.

-Notices Mezzo and her hoard, and investigates-

Slateport Contest Hall

Sierra: Yeah... This should be interesting.

Goldenrod, Yesterday

Maekrite — <My~ :D> — chuckles at "Dashroo".

Shahinne — <Ho-me? Home!> — flies around randomly — <Where is my home?>

To Faith:

"Glad you liked it. It's pretty comfortable because it gives good time to sleep between checkpoints. Though my Pokémon prefer to walk..." Gestures to the staircase. "Follow me, I can get you something to eat at the [Lounge] while I check on my interns and my team."

Shahinne flies to the stairs while Silent guides Faith and her Pokémon in. Maekrite stays behind to keep tabs on the group.

Maekrite — <Hmmm... scent in the air... looks like Mom is here visiting...>

Silent accompanies Faith to the guests area where one of the Interns catches up with him.

Intern Zukov — "Hey boss! Didn't expect you this late."

"I'm stopping here for the day to check that everything is in order. This is Ms. Faith, I was keeping tabs on her son at the Orange Islands and brought her back home."

Zukov — "I see... a pleasure." offers a handshake, turns to Silent. "Uhm... you might want to know that there's somewhat of a mess at the Lounge, and no TV."

Silent raises an eyebrow and gestures Zukov to follow him and explain further.

-Was so deep in my own thoughts that I managed to completely fail to notice Fool and reacts with a sweep kick and a grasp for my dagger out of surprise-

Fool?

Random Fangirl #77: Anom is here!

Random Fangirl #78: Eeeee!

-the fangirl mob rushes toward Anom-

Random Fangirl #79: Your beard is so awesome!

Random Fangirl #80: Do you have a crush on anyone?

Random Fangirl #81: Will you marry me?

Hi, Anom. The fans found us, as you can see.

Contest Hall

-The Skitty appeals with Attract, then Ice Beam via Assist. Creating a ring of Icicle Love hearts-

Daw Level': 5/10

-The Mareep appeals by first bleating cutely to the audience and then uses rest to sleep cutely, projecting images of small Mareep herds with it's electricity-

Daw Level: 7/10

-The Eevee appeals with Covet, followed by a Rain Dance and Shadow Ball to create a ghostly atmosphere-

Daw Level: 3/10 (Much more suited for a Smart Contest...)

-The Garbodor appeals with a combo of Acid Spray, Clear Smog and Haze. First it shoots Acid Spray up into the air, then uses Clear Smog to make the spray stand out bafore using haze to get that "misty effect". The Garbador creates and image of the starry night sky with the "Consteallations" being images of cute Pokemon-

Daw Rating: 9/10

Judge: It appears that we have our winner for the first round! Marc's Taka the Garbador!

-The crowd cheers-

Vyvyan: Woah! That Garbodor is really good! He must have an excellent co-ordinator!

Mauville

-Fool is kicked, yelps and slumps on the ground-

...Ow...

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Uh, thanks for the beard compliment, no, I have no crushes, and I find it highly unlikely you would want to marry me...

Um...

-Tries to find a way out of the swarm, to no avail-

As long as they don't try to drug me...

In Slateport

<Thog: "Pines against the sky, pluming the purple hill; pines... And I wonder why, heart, you quicken and thrill? Wistful heart of a boy, fill with a strange sweet joy, lifting to Heaven nigh - pines against the sky.

Palms against the sky, failing the hot, hard blue; stark on the beach I lie, dreaming horizons new; heart of my youth elate, scorning a humdrum fate, keyed to adventure high - palms against the sky.

Oaks against the sky, ramparts of leaves high-hurled, staunch to stand and defy all the winds of the world; stalwart and proud and free, firing the man in me to try and again to try - oaks against the sky.

Olives against the sky of evening, limpidly bright; tranquil and soft and shy, dreaming in amber light; breathing the peace of life, ease after toil and strife... Hark to their silver sigh! Olives against the sky.

Cypresses glooming the sky, stark at the end of the road; failing and faint am I, lief to be eased of my load; there where the stones peer white in the last of the silvery light, quiet and cold I'll lie - Cypresses etching the sky.

Trees, trees against the sky - O I have loved them well! There are pleasures you cannot buy, treasurers you cannot sell, and not the smallest of these Is the gift and glory of trees... So I gaze and I know now why it is good to live - and to die... Trees and the Infinite Sky.">

<Francis: "... Thog?">

<Thog: "Yeah?">

<Francis: "We're in a city.">

<Thog: "So what's your point?">

-Peeking up from playing a game on a battered DS-

<Audrey: "You say that like that's a bad thing?">

"Are you not comfortable here or something?"

<Francis: "... It's not that... It's just that not being able to see all but 5 or so stars at night gets to be a real bit of a drag sometimes...">

"Hmm... I think that Dr. Tagg went up to Mauville today... Did you want to head up there tonight while the stars were out?"

<Francis: "...">

<Zoltan: "Come on, it'll be fun! And it'll make me think about something other than my tummy...">

<Francis: "Actually... I think that I'd like that...">

... Note to self, never sneak up on Tagg.

You okay, Fool?

Slateport, Contest Hall

Sierra: (nods) Yeah.

PEFE Goldenrod Research Wing – Lastnite

Silent has a sudden itch about giving Tagg a left jab on the chin for no particular reason.

Mauville

Kinda... I've had worse...

-Fool picks herself up-

Mt Layunda was worse than this...

J-Con

Rex: *is still distracting the fangirls with his Pokemon* And this is Ohm! She used to be a tiny Mareep who couldn't use electricity and then a Flaaffy who couldn't walk straight. But now she's a big, strong, cuddly Ampharos.

Ohm: *waves shyly to the fangirls, ducking behind Rex* <Baaah...>

Almia - Chicole Village - Kim's House

Kim laid asleep in bed, tired from a mission involving a Chatot imitating Richard Nixon.

Kim: Zzz...

Maria, on the other hand, was browsing the internet as usual. She giggled gleefully, browsing yet another story.

Maria: <Hehe~>

Noticing her giggles, Clover and Glaze wandered over, peering curiously at the screen.

Clover: <...Fanfiction?>

Maria: <Revery fanfiction! It's my new favorite pairing~>

Glaze: <Umm...what's a Revery?>

Clover: *rolls her eyes at Maria* <It's probably best if you don't know, Glaze.>

Clover lead the confused Minun away from the computer, the Gardevoir continuing to giggle as she read her stories.

Maria: <So cute~>

Current Team: Maria the Gardevoir (♀), Clover the Lopunny (♀), and Glaze the Minun (♂)

Off-screen: Blossom the Leafeon (♀), Eclair the Luxray (♀), and Youko the Ninetails (♀)

Goldenrod City, yesterday

Dash: *flushes red, wondering what Dashroo means*

Fang: *to Shahinne* <I don't know. Do you need a map? :3>

Faith and her Pokemon are lead to the [ Lounge]. While Faith follows Silent upstairs, her Pokemon stay downstairs with the others. Fang and Breezy continued trying to playfully tag Shahinne while Faith's proper team formally introduced themselves to Maekrite.

Dash: <I'm Dash. It's nice to meet you.>

Orchid: *waves a paw shyly* < Orchid~>

Joe: <I'm Joe. Like Knuckle Joe. That was actually my nickname back at the Saffron Dojo.>

Faith followed Silent upstairs, shaking the hand of his associate with a warm smile.

Faith: Charmed.

Upon hearing of some kind of incident, Faith tilted her head curiously, following after Silent.

-Looks ashamed-

Cynical!Tagg: Excellent work on our part.

Sorry about that, Celadon made me rather...twitchy.

Random Fangirl #82: Oh! An Ampharos! Like Spoons and Woolly!

Random Fangirl #83: -to Anom- Hey, how come you don't use your Bug mons anymore?

Random Fangirl #84: Yeah, I haven't seen his Volcarona in forever!

Ohm: *wanders over to the fangirl, looking at her curiously*

Rex: And this is Jemma. She's a Del- ...err, Delaware Griffins fan! Yeah, that's it...

Jemma: *snorts and wanders over to the fangirls, making a cute face*

Uh, I use them. I just moved on to new types, that's all.

Goldenrod

Shahinne playfully comments to Fang how she dislikes maps because nothing happens when she pecks them. Afterwards she plays with Breezy and Fang, careful not to exaggerate with her Double Team.

Shahinne — <Tag! I'm it~!> — hops around.

Meanwhile Maekrite checks on Dintel and Ichtacya, who are moving some stuff to the lounge, and introduces himself to Faith's mons.

Maekrite — <A pleasure, Joe, Dash and Orchid... I'm Maekrite, Owsla patroller in away duty.> — points to the forest with his horn — <I'm from the colony nearby, from the southern edge. Now these are Dintel and Ichtacya...>

Dintel — <Oh hai!> — walks away randomly, more occupied with moving the stuff which includes the box with the kelp and a coffee machine.

Ichtacya — <Hello there, Breezy and Dash. I'm Ichtacya, a newcomer to the group~> — playfully sits besides Breezy. — <So, wait, what is this about a Saffron Dojo? Isn't Saffron a Psychic Gym city?>

"What? You let Inka's family here? What did the staffers say?"

Zukov — "The usual. They meeped and decided to continue their business elsewhere. She's had the lounge for herself ever since two days ago, and is in a pretty fould mood.>

"...Hm, I see..." blushes, turns to Faith. "Sorry... Inka was my first Pokémon. She's used to wander around here from the Colony, but I didn't expect that she would bring the family..."

Zukov — "Um, Dr. Silent? Any idea what she wants now?"

"Oh, I'll know when I see her..."

Zukov walks Faith and Silent to the Lounge and opens the door. Inside there is a Nidorino being berated by a Nidorina, each sitting on a half of the literally splitted couch. Several random Nidoran are hopping around and resting on the carpet and the flattened TV.

"...Wow..."

Inka -listens and turns — <Silent!!!> — walks closer in and lunges at her Trainer. — <You are here~! Did you win? Where is Maekrite?>
