ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Rex: Eee! *falls* That was close. *waves the sword* So, umm...what do you do, anyway?

Sword!Rascal: <I turn into other swords! Some with straaaange powers.>

Rex: Oooh.

Sword!Rascal: <But I never become the same weapon twice!>

Rex: ...That seems rather unhelpful.

Sword!Rascal: <How about some gratitude for the person you're beating against monsters? :\>

Odette: <Hmm... I see... I feel like there's a lot of things I still don't know, though.>

Rex: *wanders over to the two Charizards* Oh, hi! Ummm...you're Tangent, right?

Charizard!Basket:    <No, the other of us is Tangent. But we are one!>   

Charizard!Tangent:    ...ignore her. Yeah, I'm Tangent.   

-flames the roots some more-

   You were... Rex? I think we saw each other briefly at Maekrite's birthday, didn't talk much...   

Rex: Oh yeah, I remember you! I was kind of out of it after Forte froze me with his Hail, though, which is probably why I didn't say much. *looks over at Basket* What kind of Pokemon are you normally?

Sword!Rascal: *changes forms*

Rex: *freezes some of the vines that came out earlier*

Comet: <But that's good, isn't it? Not knowing things is all you need to go out into the world and make new discoveries! There'd be no point otherwise if you knew everything! And that's not teh mind of life this Charmeleon would ever want to live.>

Chord: <Sheesh, how corny...> *Hears the Shahinne plushie.* <...Is that supposed to be funny?>

Woolly: *Can't resist laughing.* <AHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, that's hilarious...> *To Ohm.* <Hey, is this yours?>

Basket:    <I'm normally a Tropius, but I moonlight as a Charizard. Would you like to be one? >   

Shahinne Plushie: *glares at Chord with Intimidate!*

Ohm: <Oh yay! You found it!> *wanders over* <Now I can give it to Shahinne. :3>

Shahinne Plushie: *chirps* <Give me nuts! :3>

Mindscape

Rex: I've already been a Charizard twice... so, not really. ._. *inches away*

Chord: *Shivers at the Plushie.* <...Erk!...>

Woolly: <Aw, how cute! I'm sure she'll love it!>

-Aside.-

Harriet: <Wait, is that a Plushie? Or has Shahinne been using Double Team again?>

Copahue: *Ruffles his feathers.* <To be honest? I can never tell anymore...>

Shahinne!Plushie:

Ohm: *gives the plushie to Silent for safe-keeping, coming back over to Woolly eventually* <I didn't know there was another Ampharos here. :3>

Woolly: *Tilts head.* <Really? You've never met Shaun or Fleece? Well, Fleece if a Flaaffy, but he still counts.> *Shrugs.* <Oh, well. I'm Woolly, what's you name?> *Extends a hand in greeting.-

Chord: *Crawls behind Stratus in fright.- <That plushie's glaring at me!>

Stratus: <Don't be silly! Plushies can't...Oh, wait...>

Ohm: <I'm Ohm.> *shake shake* <I'm Rex's Ampharos. That's him, asleep on the floor there.>

Rex: @_@

Ohm: <I hope he wakes up soon; we're all kind of worried... And it's no fun without him to take us around to places.>

Now, in Fallarbor Town

-Is coming into the room with some groceries followed by the team, looking rather haggard-

"Ugh..."

<Nadia: "What do you mean you ran into those dweebs in aviator gear before?">

<Teala: "We did!">

<Francis: "As you saw, we're kinda popular with them...">

<Zoltan: "... We are? But then why did they fight with us?">

"Has everything been going alright here?"

-To Tracer.- "As well as things can go in a situation like this."

Lake: *Tilts head, slightly worried.* <...What happened to you guys?>

Woolly: <Hi, Ohm! I'm Woolly, and I'm Luke's Ampharos!> *Gazes at Rex.* <I can understand how you would be worried. It must be awful having your trainer in a coma like that and not being able to do anything to help...>

Fortree City

Very few people are about the city today, all of them holed up in their homes. Most shops are closed at the moment, those fortunate enough to have A/C exploiting it like it's out of style. Even the Kecleon that normally troll trainers by blocking the city pathways are in their dens, deciding to make an honest living by selling miscellaneous goods to Pokemon. However, one Pokemon has braved the heat in order to convey an important message.

Constantly Late!Absol: <Anom gets kidnapped at J-Con! Tell your friends and neighbors!>

Inn: Base of Operations

Ohm: <Yeah...> *bleats* <... ... ...So, where are you from? >

Fallarbor Hotel Room

<Kat: "We had a bit of a frank exchange of ideas with some trainers who said they were members of some Team Ozone.">

<Francis: "Oh, so that's what you're calling being jumped now?">

<Thog: "As you've probably gathered, this isn't the first time that we've run into them...">

-Red!Star's Whip lights on fire. She swings it around slashing through vines-

-Green!star chages her wapon into a spell book and casts a fire spell-

-blue!Star lights her sword on fire -

Blue!Star: We're going to have to go in...

-blue leads the group into the cave-

-there is A large willow tree in side the cave. its branches are leaning over towars the group, like someone bent over and crying-

-the interior of the cave has roots and vines crawling up the walls.-

'Blue!Star: Great, She's worse now...

Green!Star: ....

Woolly: <I'm from Route 32 in Johto! I used to be a member of one of the flocks until Luke caught me a few years back. What about you?>

Lake: <Team Ozone?>

"Oh no, don't tell me we have another team of lunatics to deal with? The two we have are bad enough."

Rex: That tree looks sad somehow... *shoots some more ice at the vines*

~~~

Ohm: <I'm from Route 32, too! >

...Do we fight our way through?

Fallarbor

"Uh... Well... The good news is that some of them seem to take the whole 'deranged ecologically disruptive team' shtick less seriously than I've heard for Team Aqua and Magma."

<Francis: "Shame that they have to be such morons though, some of the things that they support sound awfully compelling...">

Odette: <I guess you're right, Comet. Still, I want to know more about Dream World Pokémon...> () <Oh! Maybe I should do some research in the Dream World!>

"Hmm, well that's less worrying."

Lake: <I guess we could always deal with them if they every become a larger issue. Or try and talk some sense into them, at least.>

Woolly: <Oh, you are? Cool! What flock are you from? My one's grazes up in the north near Violet. Are you from further south?>

Comet: <Well, there's quite a few Pokémon you could ask about that. But I think your best bet would be to go to the Dream World tonight and ask a Pokémon who lives there about it. We..., I mean they would probably know best about this.>

Ohm: <I...umm...uh...I don't have a fl-...> *bleats shyly* <Eee...>

Shahinne Plushie: *from Silent's bag* <Silly Pidgey!>

-Breaks connection for a moment-

Them again? Anyway...

-Starts explaining the events of Rex and Star's mindscapes up to this point-
