ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Jab hops off Every's head-

<How've you been?>

In a Hotel Room in Mauville

"(*yawn*) Morning everyone... Did you all sleep well?"

<Zoltan: "Yep!">

<Thog: "Same here, if a little short...">

<Teala: "Zzz...">

<Audrey: "... Not really...">

<Kat: "... What's wrong?">

<Audrey: "I can't help but feel as if something terrible has happened.">

Elsewhere in Mauville

<Lake: "...">

<Nadia: "What's wrong, Lake?">

<Lake: "It's just that... We haven't seen Luke at all for so long... And I haven't been able to keep in contact with any of the others with him in the Dream World recently... Do you think he's alright?">

<Nadia: "I'm sure that he's fine. They're probably too busy exploring Hoenn.">

<Lake: "I hope you're right, Nadia.">

-Aside-

<Delta!Fraxure: "W-We're going to that gym again?">

<Gene: "In a day or two, yeah. I'm still trying to work out a strategy that wont get half of the team Thunder Waved or otherwise DQed again...">

<Delta!Fraxure: "I-I didn't mean to! Honest!">

<Gene: "Relax, you're not the first mon who's had something like that happen to them. Audrey had that happen once to her when she was younger.">

<'''Delta!Fraxure: "... Really?">

<Gene: "Yeah, you did alright out there. Just keep your cool next time, and I'm sure that we'll pull through.">

<Delta!Fraxure: "Okay...">

Goldenrod Research Wing

Silent awakens after a long night of sleep. He performs his usual routine — then getting out of bed.

"Owwww... *yawn* Let's take a walk around."

Takes a walk around to check what is going on. First he peeks on the room where Copahue and Shahinne are playing around.

Copahue -roosted near the window — <...now, little bird, you should be having breakfast, please? We can go play later, I'm still too sleepy...>

Shahinne -flutters around — <No. I want to go play around.> — flies around Copahue's legs.

Copahue — <...You are not going to peck me, please?>

Next, Silent goes to the lounge to check on the interns. Since the new TV has not arrived yet, the interns have brought a radio from the basement and are trying to get it to work.

Dëvich — "...and what is this weird thing for anyway?"

Timbú — "Looks like an antenna. How would one use it anyway?"

Rodríguez — "Uhm... there seems to be something like a cartridge inside. Perhaps if we press those buttons we can get it out?"

The interns start pressing buttons.

Somehow they stumble on the tape player's [▶] button instead of the [⏏] button, and then it starts playing.

[[center:~Playing link~ ]]

The internst start looking at each other.

Silent shakes his nead.

Newbies...

Afterwards Silent goes check the room where his Pokéballs are stored. As he left them last night, Lileep's, Dintel's and Algira's balls are there.

Finally, he goes walking around until he hears something coming from the yard. He peeks out of a window to notice Inka and Baluarkos sunbathing. Maekrite is with them, ears down. Some of the kits are playing with the random boxes and containers there.

Inka -yawns — <...and you should be more proactive when it comes to battle. You are not a patroller for nothing, you know!>

Maekrite — <...yes, marli.>

Inka — <Not to mention,> — bares her teeth — <you are adamant damn it. Should be pummeling that thing with your own fistpaws instead of beaming from afar like a lazy Nidoran.>

Maekrite — <...yes, marli.> — sighs.

Inka -irises glow red — <I HEARD THAT!>

Hmm... some things never change. Let's see, I better go check the whole thing with the TV and then call Tangent and the others to say hi...

Crewe smiles at him.

"Pretty well. What about you? Did you have fun at the convention?"

Jab: <Not really, it was too loud. I got to beat up a Shinx though, that was fun.>

Somewhere near wherever Luke is

DW Beedrill: (looks around) <Hmm... So this is the real world, huh? Not really what I expected...> (shrugs) <Oh well, guess I should be grateful for getting to spend a couple of days here on vacation, because apparently there are many DW Pokémon that dream of living here, for some reason...> (continues looking around)

Crewe raises eyebrow. "Oh? Were you battling?"

Jab: <Well, this Shinx attacked Trainer for whatever reason, and I fought it. It was fun. ^_^>

Crewe blinks, looking over at Every.

"Well, I'm glad you had fun. How tough was the Shinx?"

-While searching for...well, any sign of civilization, really, Treeo comes across the Beedrill from a few posts back. Thankful to have found another Pokémon, the Sceptile goes up to him.-

Treeo: <Um, excuse me, but me and my friends are a bit lost. Could you tell me where we are, please?>

The Beedrill: <Huh? Um... I'm not sure myself. I'm a taxi driver from the Dream World, I'm here on vacation.> (tilts head) <Maybe I could help? Well, I don't really have my taxi with me, so... I suppose I could carry you on my back, or something?>

Jab: <Not too. The Luxio and Luxray were harder, but I had backup for them. ^_^>

-Treeo tilts his head, not expecting the answer he received.-

Treeo: <Um, no offense, but I think you're a bit...well, small to carry me and my friends.> *Looks awkward.* <Some directions would be enough for me. Do you have any idea which way we would need to go to get from here to Slateport City in the Hoenn region? If it's possible to get there from here, that is.>

Beedrill: <Hmm... Oh, wait. I think I have a map... Let's see...>

- The Beedrill pulls out a ridiculously large map from Hammerspace -

Beedrill: <Let's see...>

Dream World

Algira is wildly fluttering in her house, trying to tidy things up but getting more nervous and breaking more random stuff at every moment.

Algira — <Wants me to meet his mom but what am I going to do? Eeeeeeeeeeee~> — crashes against her tree. — <@_@> — faints.

-Treeo is surprised at the sight of the Beedrill's large map. The Sceptile briefly wondered what it was a map of, but was derailed from his train of thought by Stratus landing next to him.-

Stratus: <Have you found anything to e- Er, I mean a way back yet, Treeo?> *Notices the Beedrill.* <Oh, hi!>

Beedrill: (notices Stratus) <Oh, hi there.> (looks back down at the map) <Okay... So, apparently, Slateport is over there... and we're... over here, I think.> (points to the places on the map)

Crewe tilts her head. "Oh? A Luxio and Luxray, too? What happened, did Every walk into a Luxray pack or something?"

-The two reptilian Pokémon glance at the places the Beedrill points out on the map.-

Treeo: *Shocked* <Wow!>

Stratus: <We're that far away?!>

Treeo: <No wonder we had no idea where we are. I don't think I've ever even heard of this region before.>

Stratus: <Oh, wait! That's where we are?> *Rolls his eyes.* <I've been here so many times before, I feel silly for not recognizing it!>

Treeo: <...Huh?>

Stratus: <Well, when you can fly around the world in just a few hours, it makes reaching faraway places really easy.>

Treeo: <...Oh, I understand now.>

Jab: <No, this girl attacked him with them.>

Beedrill: (folds his map and puts it back into Hammerspace) <Well, glad I could help.>

"... Wow. Was she a fan, d'you know?"

Jab: <Clearly not of Every.>

Stratus: <Thanks Mister Beedrill! We should be able to find our way back now.>

Treeo: <Yes, thanks for your help.>

<"Guys!">

-Harriet lands nearby.-

Treeo: <What's up, Harriet?>

Harriet: <We a Ponyta and Gyarados nearby.>

Stratus: <Oh?>

Harriet: *Nods.* <They said something about being blown all the way here from the Orange Islands or something. It sounds a bit strange to me, but we found them hanging in a tree...>

Treeo: <Hmm. Very strange.>

Stratus: <No problem! Now that I know where we are, we can get back easily!>

Harriet: *Blinks.* <You do?> *Sighs with relief.* <Thank goodness! Looks like I will get to see Copahue again.>

-Treeo overhears this, his scales begining to glow red with jealousy.-

Treeo: <Urgh. Come on, let's go and help them.> *To the Beedrill.* <See you.>

Stratus: <Bye!>

-The two leave with Harriet to go and help the unfortunate Pokémon.-

Beedrill: (waves) <Okay, bye.> (flies off to find something interesting to do, or something)
