ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-is there-

Fortree City

<Nadia: "And? It's not like we burned any buildings down...">

<Toothless: "To be fair, we kinda wrecked a window...">

-Thinking-

<Nadia: "Well gee, someone could have told me that flying through an ash cloud instead of walking wasn't a good idea!">

Comet: <Conduct?>

Comet turns away, muttering quietly to herself.

<This is gonna' suck...>

Stratus: <What do you mean by conduct? Is this my fault?>

Woolly: <Oh, no Stratus! I'm sure it's not your fault, you're a good dragon!>

Stratus blushes, giving Woolly a shy look.

Stratus: <Thanks...>

"Oh, care to elaborate, Tagg? Although I have some idea what you might be getting at here."

Kim: *sits near Wolf, wondering what's going on*

Rex: Conduct? *recalls Silent and himself fleeing from the destroyed hotel* ... ... ...oh boy.

-has decided to stick around for the meeting-

Um?

Our conduct over the past several weeks was...being asleep.

Felis: <You have no idea...>

Forte's tent

Icicle: <Shadow, which button is it on here to call Forte's brother?>

Shadow: <Look in the contacts list, dad.>

Icicle: <Oh, found it!> -taps the call button-

Odette: <Actually, I was referring to the harsh sunli->

Hold on, Odette. Let's wait a little before bringing that up.

Guys, we're pretty much banned from every hotel in Hoenn, and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if the other regions started following suit as well considering some of the stuff that happened while most of us were in comas.

Helios: -Flits around rather sheepishly behind me, since we already had our conversation before we got here-

I have nothing to do with this, I've been pretty much non-existant.

Rex: I was in a coma. I've been a good boy.

Comet: <Oh, that's what you mean.>

The Charmeleon crosses her arms.

<Yeah, that kinda' sucks, you know?>

I give Tagg a frown.

"I'm sure you know this already, Tagg, but in mine, Tracer, Silent's and all of our Pokémon's defense, we were the ones who spent the few weeks while everyone else was asleep trying to keep things under control. Not that we did the best job of it, but still."

Katie: No one has said anything to me.

I'm not sure whether I haven't been kicked out of a hotel because they don't care that I'm there, or because people still think I'm not the real me.

Yes, but this affects us as a group, so it doesn't really matter if you were part of the "festivities" or not.

-To Luke-

Yes, I know, and I appreciate your help, since I certainly couldn't do it.

Well, my Pokémon haven't done anything, except for Marionette probably stalking some people to feed on their negative emotions.

Marionette: <Hey, even ghost puppets have to eat.>

Anyways... I see how this could be a problem. At least if we head back to Sinnoh, you guys could just stay at my villa again. As long as you don't break anything, the furniture in there was expensive.

Oh, no wonder it was so hard to find a place to sleep.

Sunny: <This is about my dad, isn't it? He kinda has a habit of icing things over.>

Forte's tent

Icicle: <It's just making ringing noises.>

Shadow: <Be patient, dad.>

Kim: So, what do you suggest we do to restore our reputation?

"Oh...thanks."

I stare down at the ground, feeling slightly awkward.

Comet: <Since this isn't about us, can we go?>

Lake: <I don't think that would be very polite...>

Comet: <...Fine...>

Fortree Park

"Surely we're not banned from every hotel..."

<Francis: "You had to check in under a fake name. At a hovel on the outskirts of town.">

<Zoltan: "It wasn't bad! The beds were bouncy!">

"... Okay... So how would we go about fixing that anyways...? I mean, it's not as if we can magically shake that spotlight on some of you guys, can we?"

In Another Universe, Somewhere in Unova

Tracer(?): "AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH! I can't believe that that didn't work! I went through all the trouble to make it look like that boating accident was real, and some kid sees through the whole thing when we get onto land!"

<Serperior: "Nice going, Nimbus.">

<Nimbus: "I wasn't expecting that they'd be able to tell that human about what we were saying!">

-To Kim-

I suggest that we try to minimize the damage we do from here on out.

-To Tracer-

Well we kind of do, but there's some ethics problems involved. Though honestly I'd prefer if all this spotlight got shaken off us. Whoever said that being famous was awesome was a dumbass.

With Gene

Muddy: <I get the feeling that Tagg's doing some sort of lecture.>

Roc: <Those poor souls....>

-I am presumably still searching for everyone with Effie, her mons, and Crewe, unless stated otherwise-

- Nods -

Okay, I guess.

(thinking) Hmm... Wonder what my life would've been like if I hadn't been the one to stop Cyrus?

In an unspecified alternate dimension

- An alternate version of DS watches a young blue haired girl talking to some NPCs -

Alternate DS (not to be confused with AU!DS): (looking up from working on something on her laptop) Hmm... It's odd.

HotStuff: <What is?>

Alternate DS: Dawn saved the universe, when she stopped Team Galactic and prevented Cyrus from using the power of the legendaries to change this universe. Yet, most of the people keep acting just the same as usual, not really seeming to pay much attention to who they're talking to.

HotStuff: <Meh. People are weird.>

Alternate DS: Yeah... Apart from that, nothing ever really exciting happens around here.

HotStuff: (nods) <Agreed... While you may be happy enough with this simple life, I wouldn't mind some sort of adventure... But, I doubt we'll ever get to do anything like that.>

Alternate DS: Hey, cheer up. Sure, it might be a little lonely sometimes, but we've got everything we need. (turns her attention to her laptop) So... Got any suggestions for what to name a male Mienfoo? It's for a story.

HotStuff: <Hmm... I've got nothing.>

Yeah, I think Forte's the one you should be talking to. He was awake for all this. Hold, on, let me call him.

-dials Forte's number on her Xtransceiver, and gets a busy signal-

That's odd...

Forte's tent

Icicle: <It made a beep. What does that mean?>

Shadow: <I don't know, dad.>

-the screen on Forte's Xtransceiver then shows a teenaged boy with blue hair-

Icicle: <Oh! He picked up!>

Boy: Hey, For— Oh, hi Icicle!

Icicle: <Hi! Do you want to join Team Glacier?>

Boy: Excited little guy, aren't you? I bet you want to talk to Yukikaze.

Icicle: <No, I want to talk to you! You like snow so you should join!>

Shadow: <Dad, he can't understand you.>

Boy: Hold on, I'll get him right out.

I also think we should probably at least attempt to keep a lower profile from now on.

-Thinking-

Sometimes I do wonder what would've happened if a good portion of the stuff I've dealt with in both timelines never happened.

In another alternate dimension

-Is busy looking through files-

My Arceus, we really need a new place.

Nudi: <But this place is awesome Tagg. It may be a dump, but it's our dump.>

Vanilluxe: <Yeah!>

-Thinks back-

<That stuff we saw in Unova sure was crazy though.>

Yeah, it really was. A nice front row seat for when that giant castle came out of the ground. I hope that guy we met while we were there is doing alright.

Fortree Park

"Hmm... I guess that would be wise."

Umbramtic: Excuse me for interrupting, sir Tagg, but how would my Pokemon and I be affected by this? I only began to accompany you all recently...
