ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Hoenn Desert

Copahue is trying to help cover Kat while at the same time Pecking some random Cacnea.

Maekrite is firing a couple of Ice Beams and Sludge Bombs at the wild mons, but he's growing tired and he is missing some hits. He decides to get closer to Silent.

Sol -Sand Attacks some nearby Geodude — <This is going so well for a search and rescue mission... hey...> — blinks — <Cool! This is going like in those adventure books!> — swipes a Cacnea.

"Guys? I think we have to try to make our way to the inside. We're going to have worse stuff to worry about than the wild mons!"

Maekrite — <...! Aaaack...> — is almost knocked out by the Earthquake. — <Need to reach...>

-Said object happens to be a metal rod-

Sirius: -Eyes widen- <MUST CATCH STICK!>

-Jumps out of the window after it-

Helios: -Looks at the window, then at Algira, and then back to the window-

Inn, Crewe's Room

-Marmalade crawls into the room- <Hey, Jab!>

Jab: -looks up from his Taillow- <Huh?>

Marmalade: <Someone's complaining about a trail of blood and feathers? Was that yo—> -sees the Taillow- <...Feel like sharing? :3>

Jab: <No.>

Marmalade: <>

Mindscape

-The Boy Agrees with Rex-

The Boy: Okay..

-The Boy guestures to his Nidorino, who is batting away the bothersome Starly-

The Boy: Hrairoo? Let's go. We have other important things to do today

-The companion shakes off the Starly and runs off to back into the bushes-

The Guide: Let's move one.

-The Guide starts walking again-

The Guide: He was only one of the six aspects you're most likely going to meet in the Trials. He respresents understanding and a yearning more more knowledge. Based off a boy that Sol met on the very island this one here is based on.

The Inn

Algira buzzes joy and flutters around the room to spread some [Stun Spore].

Algira — <That should take long enough~> — turns to Helios — <Now, come on! Let's leave somewhere else where we can talk and eat honey. The Stun Spore should [prevent] mons from tracking or following us just yet~>

Hoenn Desert

Several wild mons are knocked out by the combined Earthquake. However, this seems to trigger something else — in the distance, all around the [Mirage Tower], several Vibrava, Claydol and Camerupt start emerging from their dens and head towards the group.

"I hear you, Silent." *Notices the stronger wild Pokémon in the distance.* "Oh, crud. GUYS! WE NEED TO GET INTO THE TOWER!"

Chord: *Uses Bug Bite on a Vibrava.* <No way! What of there's only one way in and out?! We'd be trapped!>

Lake: *Ice Punches another Vibrava.* <It's our only choice right now! Quick, everyone in!>

-Me and my Pokémon retreat towards the entrance to the tower.-

"STRATUS! We're going in!"

Stratus: <OKAY! JUST COMING!> *To Francis.* <Please don't hit me...>

-The Dragonite swoops down and over the mob of wild Pokémon, firing a Dragon Pulse to attempt to K.O a few as he flies into the tower doorway.-

Yeah, I remember that kid...

He was a little bit of a brat... And so was the Tropius...

Mindscape

...Did the real one also want to kill people?

Inn, Crewe's Room

Marmalade: <C'mon, please?>

Jab: <No! I caught this Taillow fair and square.>

-meanwhile, Breeze and Diesel resume attacking the handcuffs-

Mindscape

Rex: He seems like a nice kid.

Shoulder!Shahinne: *roosts on Rex's shoulder again*

Inn

Aqua: *still leading the way*

Hoenn Desert

<Kat: "How'd you like that lit-">

-And notices that noticeably stronger Pokemon are being attracted by the Earthquake-

<Kat: "Oops...">

<Teala: "Eep.">

<Nadia: "Right! Coming!">

-We rush after the group into the tower-

Mindscape

-The Guide seems to be a little irrtated at the moment-

The Guide: Were non of you listening when I mentioned that the Aspects here have to kill other aspects so the don't get killed? Or were you guys tuning out at that point?

And no, the person he was based off wasn't a murderer... Though, there is one here who is...

-The Guide leads them down to a black lake-

The Guide: Wait here, but whatever you do, don't enter the water. Unless you want to be eaten.

-The Guide goes off to Ring a bell on a tree, leaving Yhi to watch over the group-

Hoenn Desert

Copahue flies ahead of the group to clear the way into the entrance, taking advantage of his enormous wingspan to slap Pokémon left and right just by passing through.

Sol -notices something, jewel shines — <Eeeeep! You! the Fearow! WAIT!!!!>

Copahue — <I made it! Come on guys co-OOOOOOF!>

As soon as he reaches the entrance and tries to go through it, Copahue crashes against an [invisible wall].

Sol -rushes in, Confusing some Pokémon away — <...That tower is a mirage!>

Helios: <Um, okay.>

Meanwhile

Sirius: -Is now running back with the metal rod clutched in his jaws-

-Sits down and begins mentaling some adjustments to the crossbow-

Mindscape

-definitely doesn't enter the water-

Crewe also stays away from the water, eyeing it and fitting an arrow to her bowstring.

"...What?!"

Chord: <You mean it's NOT REAL?!> *Blinks.* <...We're dead, aren't we?>

Treeo: <...> *Turns around, raising his Leaf Blades.* <Not yet, we're not.>

Chord: *To Stratus.* <If we die, I'm blaming YOU.>

Stratus: <Eep!>

Lake: <Could we safe the in-fighting until after we've dealt with all these wild Pokémon, please?!>

-My Pokémon prepare to fight again.-

Mindscape

-The Guide jumps back down from a tree-

The Guide: Don't worry... He'll be here any time now...

-In the distance, a boat can be see paddling it's way towards the group-

Sol approaches Treeo and the others.

Sol — <Guys this is a mirage! The entrance is around here, just not exactly here!>

Copahue — <Way to not tell me before...>

Sol starts psychically examining the walls.

Rex: *looks at the water curiously*

"...Oh. Now I feel silly..."

Treeo: <Fine, me and Lake will deal with these guys! You try to find the entrance!>

"Okay, just...be careful!"

Comet: <Hey! I want to get in on the action too!>

Chord: <Are you crazy?! Most of those Pokémon have a type advantage against you!>

Comet: <So?>

Woolly: <Guys! Less arguing, more finding the entrance!>

-While Lake and Treeo fight the wild Pokémon, the rest of us begin to feel our way around the base of the tower for the way inside.-

Mindscape

-sees the boat-

Wonder who's in there.

Outside of the Inn

Ichtacya is walking towards the Inn after a short trip around town, when she notices Sirius walking in holding something.

Ichtacya — <...Uh?> — follows.

Mirage Tower

Silent notices something strange and turns to Maekrite, who is grunting.

Maekrite — <I feel very tired.>

"You have done enough, Maekrite, let the others take care..." Silent produces the Moon Ball.

Maekrite — <B-but > — is recalled before more complaining.

"Guys wait for me!" Silent goes to cover behind Copahue and the others.

Meanwhile, Sol is several meters ahead inspecting the walls quickly with her psychic powers.

After walking and looking at a certain wall for a moment, Sol presses her paw against a the structure. The paw goes through.

Sol — <[Found it!]> — yips.

Meanwhile, a Magma guard who was walking to the other side of the wall trips with Sol's paw, causing his wallet to tear, spreading [coins] everywhere.

Rex: So, what do you think of Fool's mind, Every?

Mindscape

-blinks at Rex-

...Creepy as [REDACTED] and apparently wants to kill us both.
