ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Outside

Well, I fucked up pretty badly didn't I?

-Realizes Katie is in the room and facepalms-

You didn't hear that.

-Notices that everyone else is still in a trance-

Oh great. Guys, I have some explaining to do.

-Starts explaining-

Outside

Shahinne is looking inside the Inn through a window.

Shahinne -frowns — <Bad peoplemons! Get lost like Dintel!>

She turns tails and flies back to the tree where Copahue and Harriet are having a talk about Double Team.

Inside

"Tagg, what happened...?" Listens to his explanation.

WAAAAAAAH-

-is ejected from Crewe's mind-

Fallarbor Pokemon Center

-Ian is waiting impatiently outside-

Ian: All right, that's It. -starts heading towards the Inn-

Nina: Huh? Ian, Where are you going?

Ian: I'm going to go see what my sister's up to.

Dave: She said she would be back in a few minutes, Just wait.

Ian: Well, It's been at least an hour, So I think it's ok to go check, right?

Dave:Yeah, Maybe...

Ian: Besides, You know the kinds of crazy things the J-team ends up doing. Who knows what happened to her!

Nina: Oh! Maybe they're exploring some sort of dreamworld or something, trying to save Crewe!

Dave:....

Ian: -sweatdrops- Uh, Yeah. Maybe. Anyway, Let's go!

-they start heading for the Inn-

-The area everyone landed in is a small, ruined town. It seems to contain the ruins of two houses and a lab. It's a starter town, but it doesn't match any other starter town-

-Someone that appears to be Pent in a more casual outfit is standing nearby-

-Finishes up-

So it appears that everyone's still trapped inside their own heads, a collective unconscious if you will. This reminds me of Psychonauts. I should probably get back there and explain to the others what happened.

-blinks-

-notices Casual!Pent-

-hopes he isn't like Minerva-

Rascal: <Oh no...> *sweatdrops* <What should I say to his mother?> *panics* <Eee...>

The Room

Silent nods to Tagg, worried.

"Well... you could, it would be the best bet, but I think it is also the riskiest one..." Moves to Tagg and puts a hand on his shoulder. "With what happened in the Orange Islands, I'm worried when you try these kinds of stuff."

Maekrite narrows his eyes at me, then barks to Rascal.

Maekrite — <You mon up and keep tabs on your kit! You can tell the mother later! sesh...>

"At the moment I think the best is to assume they will be stuck like that for a while," points to the others, "and operate according to containment procedure."

-steps up from behind Casual!Pent-

"Well, this is an unusual situation. Also, (to Casual!Pent) who're you?"

You mean send them to our super secret Hoenn facility? Anyway, I'm the only human here who can do anything about it, and it's my fault they're trapped in there anyway, so I have to do it.

-Smirks-

Besides, there's no Emolga's interfering with my head this time around.

Pent?: Doesn't matter, not safe here. You guys better follow me, I'll take you somewhere a bit safer.

-Pent? walks towards the exit to town, on the west side-

Pent?: This place used to be pretty nice... But I guess you know what they say, Appleseeds are just the start of appletrees, and appletrees are there to be cut down in the name of war. -Chuckles-

<Currently taking the time to look over the strange remains of the town, hands in his pockets>

Hmm...this is new...

Pent's Mind

....

-looks around-

Where are we?

-notices Casual!Pent-

...This is Pentigan's mind, isn't it?

Fallarbor Inn

-after asking the concierge where crewe's room is, Ian and co. run up to her room and enter-

Ian: -Looks around- Whoa, what happened here?

-notices Star- Sis! -tries to shake her awake but to no effect-

The Room

Silent doesn't like the suggestion, but says nothing. He can't really blame Tagg for feeling responsible anyway.

"All right then, the first thing to do is to collect them and arrange them in a manner more adequate for your intervention. And less cumbersome (and likely to attract attention) to outsiders."

Watches Ian enter.

"Your sis there was put on a mental bus. You won't be able to shake her awake for a while."

Rascal: *droops his ears and tail momentarily...before deciding that Maekrite is right* <Rrr...> *goes over to Rex, licking his facing in an attempt to wake him*

-Notices Ian run in-

Yeah, your sister can't hear you where she is now.

-Facepalms-

That made it sound like she died.

Wait a second, the same brother with the potential AU memories that Star told me about? Well, this complicates things.

Ian: -stops- Wait, Mental Bus? What are you talking about?

Nina: -pokes Jeremy, who is possibly outside in the hall- Who's this guy?

In the Room

Maekrite carefully walks into the room and watches Rascal intently.

Silent turns to Ian as he starts producing his new classic Pokégear and some stuff...

"See, your sister and these other trainers had a psychical accident. Right now, they are probably locked inside the mind of a girl they are trying to help... as a result their bodies are, well, as you see them here."

Silent dials Juanito's number, but is greeted by voicemail.

Meanwhile Luke does... something.

-Pent? stops at the edge of town-

Pent?: -Looks out over the fog- Welp, this looks impassible, but luckily I know a way across. -Rummages around in one of the trees, pulls out a sheet of black which he lays on the ground. The sheet forms itself into a doorway-

Whoa.

So, uh...

Why are we here instead of outside?

-Looks outside and drags Jeremy in-

This is the guy that got dragged inside with the others by accident. Anyway.

-Enters Pentigan's mindscape, but seems to lack an astral projection-

Darn it, my powers are borked. Can anyone hear me?

Pent's mind

Yeah, I can hear you.

Fallarbor

Ian: -to silent- Oh.

Nina Huh, looks like I was right about the dream world thing. -looks at Jeremy and contemplates Chattering a post about him. She decides against it.-

Where are you, O Disembodied Tagg Voice?

-To Star and Anom-

I made it outside, but apparently you guys didn't and now you're trapped within eachother's minds. Say, have you guys ever heard of the concept of inner gates?

Wait, what?! We're trapped?! Don't change the subject!
