ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Rex: ...! *is sad that his "Wolf senses" did not tingle* Hi! *waves*

Hey.

Fleece: -tries to hide a bit better-

Fleece, it's okay. That's just Salamence.

Salamence: <Oh, but I'm nice~>

Salamence, leave her Fleece is a girl? I can't remember. alone.

Crewe, finding Rex, Every & Co. rather quickly, goes over to them.

"Hi, guys. Every, I have your Sneasel."

Rex: Aha, I knew Crewe was here! *waves to her and Jab*

Felix: Wow, you guys sure gather fast.

Rex: Inorite?

Oh, thanks.

-takes Jab from Crewe and QUIETLY recalls him so as to avoid waking him up-

Nope, boy.

Fleece: <Baaaaah.> -totters out to examine Salamence more carefully-

Steven: -has retrieved Dana, and is now en route to meet up with the rest of us-

Route 117

It was then that other me met other you again...as a Banette. After she explained what happened, including that Napoleon engineered things to bring both of them down in the event of her failure, Giratina's grim reapers showed up and attempted to take her to the Spirit World to face the Trials.

Under PEFE HQ

Crochet: <Yeah, but how do we get back.>

Thresher: <There must be another tunnel leading up somewhere around here.>

Crewe hands Jab off and waves back at Rex.

"Hi, Rex and stranger! ... Wait, you knew I was here?"

<Hey, isn't that...>

<Oh yeah! HEY! CREWE!>

<Crewe! :D!>

Crewe stiffens, then facepalms without turning around.

"What are they doing here?!" She clears her throat. "Er, please excuse me."

Under PEFE

Abigail: <Well, somebody has to know we're down here. Those malfunctions every night are a little too coincidential...>

<Plus all the fresh food rations that show up in our vicinity...>

-notices a sort of bunker nearby-

<huh, what's this?>

Rex: Well, not really. I kinda had a feeling, though. ...? *notices Crewe excuse herself*

Jemma: *nuzzles against every's head, feeding on his hatred*

Hi, Wolf. Hi, Crewe.

-waves at Mezzo-

Kessie: <Hi, people!> -waves a wing, and nearly falls off her perch on my head-

Under PEFE HQ

Thresher: <You do have a point there Abby.>

Doc: -Looking at the bunker- <Probably something old and dangerous, like almost everything else we've run into down here.>

Crochet: -Decides to walk up to the bunker- <Let's see if there's a way inside.>

Crewe digs through her bag and pulls out the armband.

"I have to go deal with some friends of mine."

Ducking behind the nearest person to avoid the eyes of random passersby, Crewe goes Sneasel and turns towards the four Aqua Pokemon.

<ARGO! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?!>

With that, she sprints over towards them, ears pinned back.

Felix: O_O!! *points and gapes* D-d-did she just?

Lumen:

Rex: *sweatdrops* Oh dear...

-looks at Felix-

...Yeah, we can do that. Don't tell anyone, okay?

Felix: B-but...humans can't...people can't just... @_@

Rex: *pats his back* I warned you about your sanity.

-Is still wandering around Mauville-

Under PEFE HQ

Abigail: <Well... I guess the door's here... with one of those unlocking wheels...>

<Any of us good at turning those?>

Crewe wonders for a moment if she scared the stranger, then decides not to worry about it, because by that point she's face to face with Argo. Effie looks down at her, eyeswidening on recognition.

"Hey, it's you! Hi, Sneasel!"

Crewe ignores her, glaring at her Pokemon instead.

<Hi Crewe! Who are those people?> Bluebird asks, waving.

<Friends. Now, explain. Why are you not in Dewford?!>

<Effie's making a speech here later. Why does it matter?> Argo asks, clearly offputt by her anger. <Not happy to see us?>

<No, Argo, I'm not happy to see you. You guys are still Team Aqua, cool Pokemon as you are. Also, I think I've just scarred Rex's friend for life, and it's your fault.>

<Please calm down, Crewe,> Discovery pleads softly. <You didn't have to come over if you didn't want to.>

<Well, you guys decided it was a good idea to shout my name, so I couldn't just pretend I don't know you guys. I mean, they can all understand you.>

At their communal jaw drop, Crewe realizes she's said too much and facepalms. Hard.

<Dammit.>

<They can all understand Pokemon?!> Argo stares at them, eyes nearly popping out his head. <Are they Pokemon too?!>

<Forget I said that. And stop staring, geez! They'll notice you! ... None of you can talk to humans, can you? Thank Arceus I didn't say that in human form.>

Under PEFE HQ

Thresher: -Looks at his feelers- <Not me.>

Crochet: <I've got blades for hands.> -Holds them up-

Doc: <I'll do it then.>

-Starts turning the valve-

<Nathan: "Huh. Feels toasty...">

<Vlad: "... And damp... I don't like damp...">

In Mauville

-A certain Sandslash and party happen to be returning from a long day training-

<Gene: "So what do you guys think, should we try taking that gym on again to-">

-And notices Crewe-

<Delta!Fraxure: "Oh! Uh... Hi?">

-Noticing the startled-looking Aqua mons-

<Lake: "... Are you all alright?">

Crewe quickly turns away from Argo, grateful for the distraction.

<Um, hi. ... Lake? Is that you? Who are these mons?>

<I could ask the same question...> Argo says, the Marshtomp tilting his head to look at them.

<Strangers! :O!> Bounty scuttles behind Discovery, peeking out.
