ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Inn, Hallway

-sees Slouch-

Hi Slouch! In person this time.

Cirrus: -waves a wing-

Sometime later, at a main listing in the AU!Spirit World

<Rotom: "And here is where the interested sign up for trials. There's ones for just about everything that you can think of... Not that it helps those who take part...">

Aqua: <What's a Slouch? It sounds silly. :3>

H-

Nick: -Runs up-

<MERRYYYY CHRISTMAAAAS!>

Inn

ACK!

-falls over, Cirrus quickly escapes-

Hi loud Delibird...

Cirrus: <Merry Christmas!>

- Hears someone knock on the door -

Huh?

- Puts the two birthday cards back into my backpack -

Sorry about him...

You alright?

Inn

I'm fine... -gets up-

Cirrus: -flies to Nick- <Hi! I'm Cirrus! Who are you?>

DS' Room

Rex: Hi, DS! I was following Tagg and Meddler, but I ended up getting ahead of them somehow. They're on their way too. Anyway, I wanted to give you this. *hands her the box* It's for your birthday, see?

Card: "Happy Birthday, DS. Never stop smiling. - Rex, Faith, and [illegible Pokemon scrawling]"

Inn, Crewe's Room

After some free exploration as an excuse to talk to each other privately (well, except for Pankaja's presence), Harriet and Copahue arrive to Crewe's room and look around.

Copahue: <We're back~>

Harriet: <Hey... Aunt Salamence? Where is Shahinne?> — looks around — <Pretty much everymon is here...>

Copahue: <I wanted to tell her about Dintel. She won't be very happy...>

AU!Spirit World

Swampert: <So, is there something particularly nasty he can be signed up to?> — thinks for a moment — <I'd love to see something where he drowns...>

Dintel -looks up: <But I don't know how to swim. And water is nasty.>

The Swampert pets Dintel as she gives him a condescending smile.

Dintel: <Isn't there something fun to play? Like finding more rocks?>

Swampert: <I hope not. Or you'd get practice from it...>

-Looks around-

Ah, DS, got a present here for you.

-Brings out the present, it's wrapped in a box and therefore it is unable to be determined-

- Smiles -

Thanks, Rex.

- Notices Pentigan -

Oh, hi Pentigan!

Rex: *smiles back somewhat awkwardly, finding Pent's box a lot more interesting at the moment* Oh, hi, Pent! When did you get here? You're like a ninja or something.

I just got here. Anyway.

-Gets out the gift tag-

Uh... "I hope this is something you would like"

Inn, Crewe's Room

Salamence: <Shahinne? I dunno, but I'm sure she isn't up to anything~>

With Ichtacya

Baby Eevee: *purrs, nuzzling Ichtacya* <Auntie~>

Blossom: <Hmmm...would you like to be the uncle, Maekrite? Or the godfather?>

- Opens Pentigan's present, finding it to be a small statuette of a two-headed Skitty -

- Examines it for a moment, while my Pokémon exchange "what on Earth is that?" looks -

Oh, it's a decorative item, of some sort, I guess?

(thinking) Where am I even supposed to put this?

Artemis: (aside to another Pokémon on my team) <I guess it is true what they say. True Art Is Incomprehensible.>

Nick: -Runs into the room and tips all of his gift boxes into a large pile-

<PRESENTS FOR EVERYBODY! HAHA!>

Rex: Oh, that's really cool! *thinking* Ugh, that makes my gift look like crap. I didn't know DS was into abstract art... *sees Nick* O_O

AU!Spirit World, some time ago

<Rotom: "Sadly, that is beyond my control. Barring special cases, the entities that come here are allowed to decide their own trials for themselves... Our lord was getting a little sick of hearing of overseers misusing the trials, so it became a little less fun for us.">

Nick: -Looks around the room, seeing everyone else-

<...OH, HELLO!>

Hotel

Ichtacya: <Eeeeeeee~ he called me auntie~> — purrs, licks and nuzzles back.

Ichtacya beams happiness at being Aunt Ichtacya, but blinks and blushes when Blossom also asks Maekrite about unclehood.

Maekrite -blushes, shakes head: <Godfather is OK... *yawn* or there will be some confusion. Cute little thing~>

Copahue -to Aunt Salamence: <I see... I think I better go call her or something. I don't want any more weirdness for the day.>

Meanwhile, Harriet goes examine the pile of gifts. Maekrite leans an ear to it and yawns, but does nothing else.

AU!Spirit World

Swampert nods and then follows Rotom around, holding Dintel all the time.

Dintel: <I want to collect more things!>

Swampert: <NO!!!>

Inn, Crewe's Room

Salamence: <Okay~>

Cirrus: -flies around the gift pile-

-Sees Pentigan's gift-

The hell is that?

-Looks over at Tagg-

Ah, got one here for you aparently...

-Brings out another giftbox and reads the tag-

"Hope this helps you cheer up"
