ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Mezzery's Room

-Sunny has taken out Mezzo's laptop and is writing fanfic-

Felis: <How can you be writing at a time like this?>

Sunny: <Well, there's not much else to do until they get everything fixed, and that J-Con gave me a lot of new story ideas, so...>

Felis: <I'll never understand you, runt.>

Sunny: -tilts his head- <What is there to not understand?>

Actually what I'm about to say about them is fairly relevant to your current predicament. From what I can tell, your minds are all connected, but something's blocking you from progressing. Get rid of the blockage, and the next mindscape will be open to you.

...Minds connected?

What kind of blockage?

The Room

After watching for a moment as Tagg goes Incep-*brick'd*- Silent shrugs and starts rearranging some of the corpses bodies, dragging them closer to the walls so that they rest against it. He calls Maekrite in for a couple of times, but the Nidorino refuses sternly.

Silent lets Rascal's team handle Rex and Kim, as well as Luke and his mons handle... whoever else they are handling.

Nite. Assume Silent ordered the corpses in a convenient way then leaves to the outside of the Inn. Luke, you can RC Coparrietinne for your purposes; Rex, you can RC Ichtacya, just make her pop in somewhere.

If I had to take a gander considering my gaming background, I'd say deep seated issues of some sort, but I'm sure it depends from mind to mind.

Crewe's Room

Wally and I come rushing into the room where many unconscious bodies lay.

Wally: "What happened here?"

It appears as if everyone's passed out. Hmmm?

-Casval's backpack top-most compartment opens up, revealing a single robotic eye-

Nightingale: [Good day, Sir Narrator, Sir Wally. I assume you are my master's current travelling group.]

-The backpack unfolds, forming a massive robot easily 14 feet tall, breaking through the ceiling in the process-

Man on floor above: "What the hell?"

Nightingale: [You need not worry. I shall handle my master.]

The robot lifts Casval up, also sending him through the ceiling, before lowering him to ground level and setting him against the wall.

-Pent? has been spending a lot of time trying to tune the doorway to go to the correct place-

-My "corpse" slumps over onto the person next to me-

Mezzery's Room

-Felis turns an ear toward the sound of Nightingale crashing through the ceiling-

Felis: <Do I even want to know?>

-The entire mindscape slows down to a stop, at least, in the change in perception between those inside and those outside-

Night.

Last night

- Nods -

Um... Okay.

- To my Pokémon -

Don't worry, we'll be back as soon as possible.

Velvet: (nods) <Good luck.>

- Places a hand on Tagg and enters Crewe's mindscape -

Later that same night

Hmm... This seems to be harder than we first thought...

Shortly afterwards

- Looks around -

We're in... Pentigan's mindscape now?

A little bit later

What? We're trapped!? But... I can't be- I have things to do and-

- Sighs -

Well... Guess there isn't much to do about it but try to find our way out, huh?

Outside

- Velvet tries to wake up DS, after noticing that something appears to have gone horribly wrong -

Velvet: <DS? DS, answer me! Come on, open your eyes!>

Tulip: <Velvet, didn't you hear Tagg, yes? She can't do that, yes. She and the others will have to find their way out, that is the only way for them to snap out of it, yes!>

Velvet: <...> (shakes head and resumes trying to wake DS up)

Present

- Velvet has fallen asleep, resting her head on DS' chest, listening to DS' heart beating. The rest of DS' team (minus Odette who probably slept in the pillow fort she and Crowbar made) are sitting in a corner by themselves -

Marionette: <Mmm... Velvet's panic sure tastes good!>

Tulip: (glances at Marionette) <What the heck is wrong with you, yes? I know you probably lack certain concepts of how most humans and Pokémon would normally behave in a situation like this, but can't you at least see this as more than just a food source, yes?>

Marionette: (shrugs) <Hey, don't get the wrong idea. I am worried about DS and her friends too, even if I don't act the same way the flesh puppets do about it.>

Artemis: <Don't worry, they'll find their way out.>

Mira: <... I wonder how we are going to explain this to Odette?>

Artemis: <Let's just tell her that she and her friends got caught up on an unplanned adventure, and will be back as soon as they sort things out!>

Mira: <That is... actually not a bad idea.>

Outside

-My Pokemon are just sitting there, sleeping-

Pentigan's mindscape

I guess we should go find the door then.

Route 114

-Crowbar has finished making the pillow fortress with Odette, complete with Pillow cannons and pillow architecture-

Crowbar: <Yay! Fortress done! Now we need a king and queen of Foretress!>

-Crowbar ponder for a while-

Crowbar: < I be king!>

-Points to Odette-

Crowbar: <You be queen! Yes?>

Meanwhile, where the others are

-Fool is starting to feel uneasy, mainly due to... mindscape circumstances-

Route 114

Odette: (nods) <Yeah! Sure!> (smiles)

Pentigan's mindscape

- Is just sort of sitting on the ground, staring around at my surroundings -

Pentigan's Mindscape

-Finally awakewning inside the mind, Fool realizes she's stunned and is unable to move-

God damn!

Pillow Fortress

-Crowbar claps-

Crowbar: <Yay! You have friends? They would like play as well, right?

<Maybe I convince Aibiy and Kami to let me play with Sasha! She Ducklett! Like you! But only bossy... unlike you.>

Vendanturf Contest Hall

-Vyvyan watches as the judge starts deciding the winner-

Pentigan's mindscape

... How are we going to get out of here?

Route 114

Odette: <Ooh, yes! I bet my friend Tulip would like to play with us!>

Verdanturf, Contest Hall

- Sierra waits for the results, waiting to hear how she did, while Mawile seems fairly certain already that she's won -

Crewe's Room

"Well, this is just peachy."

-Me and my Pokémon have spent a while leaning everyone against the walls to try and make them more comfortable (Or, in Basket's case, dragged her to the window so she can get enough sunlight to photosynthesize while she sleeps.-

Chord: *Has spun a web to stay on in the upper corner* <So, they try to help Crewe and this is what they get? So ungrateful.>

"I don't think she MEANT for everyone to get stuck, Chord. Still doesn't make this any better, though."

Comet: <Hmm...Never thought I would see a Class 3 while in this world...>

"Hmm? What was that, Comet?"

Comet: <Huh? Oh...nothing important.>

Woolly: *Worried.* <...Surely there has to be something we can do to help?>

"...I think the only thing we can do right now Woolly is to try and keep everyone safe and comfortable. I know, it sucks, but I don't want to risk getting trapped inside with everyone else."

Woolly: <...Okay...> *Bleats sadly.*

Stratus: <...Does this mean we have to feed them like this too?>

...

-Sighs.-

"This Is Gonna Suck..."

Some Time Ago

Silent watches Nightingale and lets an exasperated growl, making Maekrite proud.

"Awww damn it..." Looks at hole in the ceiling. "HEEEYYY!!! Come on! Didn't hear the “less likely to attract attention” part?"

Goes to check on Velvet and Rascal, leaving some Pokéfood pellets by their side.

Listening to Stratus, Silent decides to leave outside for a moment and check his Pokégear to see if Juanito has answered his offscreen message. "Ugh... this is going to require crowd control... Seriously, and then they wonder why do they have fangirls and stalkers? ...Oh?"

Only post for the time being. Wish me luck at job apply!

Real!Me: -has been positioned next to DS-

Mind!Me: -holding DS' hand protectively-

Katie: -asleep on the bed, not having much she could do-

-After getting everybody as comfortable as possible, me and my Pokémon take a break, only to hear a knock at the door.-

"...Hmm?"

Woolly: <Who could that be?>

Chord: *To Stratus.* <Did you order room service again?>

Stratus: <What?> *Shakes head.* <No, I didn't! I swear!>

"I'll get it."

-I go and answer the door, to find a rather perturbed looking man standing there.-

Man: "Um, good morning sir. I'm the Inn's manager. Now, I've been getting a lot of complaints from the other guests here about noises coming from this room and-"

-The manager looks over his shoulder, only to see about twenty unconscious bodies, several Pokémon and a fourteen-foot tall robot stuck through the ceiling.-

Manager: "..."

-Looks awkward.-

"...I assure you, there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for all of this..."

Manager: "...And that is?"

"Uh..."

-I wrack my brains for an answer, but am only able to come up with this one:-

"We're the J-Team..."

-Awkward silence.-

Manager: "...Oh. I thought some of you looked familiar. Should have turned you away when I had the chance." *Sighs.* "...Okay. It seems that you're in pretty dire straights right now."

"Yeah, it's pretty bad right now."

Manager: "Hmm. Tell you what: I'll let you stay if you promise me two things; One: Don't cause any more property damage." *Points at Nightingale* "Starting with getting rid of...whatever that thing is."

"Oh, sure. I'll get right on that. And two is...?"

Manager: "Two is to not let any of the other guests find out that you're staying here. With your reputation, most of them would check out early knowing that you were staying here."

"Yeah, I can't imagine that would be good for business. All right. Those of us that are still awake will try our best to make sure that doesn't happen."

Manager: "Thank you. I appreciate it."

"Um...anything else?"

Manager: "No...apart from that I take pity on you for getting in caught up in...whatever is going on here."

"Oh...thanks, I guess."

-Wondering about something, Stratus comes over and whispers something into my ear.-

"Huh? Oh, okay..." *To the Manager.* "My Dragonite wants to know...do you do room service? Or anything to eat at all."

Manager: "...Only if my staff don't have to come anywhere near this room."

-I glance at Stratus, who simply shrugs in response.-

"Good enough for him..."

Pentigan's mindscape

- Looks over at Wolf -

... How long do you think we'll be stuck in here?

-looks around- Time probably flows really unreliably in here. However long it seems, it will probably be significantly less.

... I see.

- Sighs -

Our Pokémon must be worried...

-rubs her back- Yeah. Katie, and the others, too.

Well, at least Tagg will be helping us out... I just hope he knows what is needed to be done to get us out of here.
