ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Fortree City: Treetops

Rex: This is great, Dahlia! The perfect gift!

Dahlia: <And you picked it out yourself too!>

Rex: Hehe... I'm so glad...she's really going to love this.

Yuki: <Oh, is she?>

Rex: Yeah, she... ... ... *notices Yuki in front of him* <...Oh, hi, Yuki! I was just looking for you!>

Yuki: <Hello, Rex~> *floats closer* <I was looking for you too! :3>

Rex: You were?

Yuki: <Yep! In fact, I've been looking for you for the past five hours!>

Rex: ...O-oh...well...

Yuki: <I followed those notes you left that said where you'd be, and you weren't there! Silly, huh?>

Rex: *notices that the sky is beginning to darken and the temperature is dropping* Y-yuki...just calm down...I have a very good reason...

Yuki: <Oh, you have a very good reason?> *to Dahlia* <He has a very good reason!> *smiles darkly, some nearby trees icing over immediately* <   Were you having fun, Rex?   >

Rex: *backing away* N-no! I was...I was...

Yuki: *approaching him quicker* <   Oh, PLEASE! Tell me! I want to know what was so important that you left me here for all of these hours!   > *grabs his shirt* <   And I hope for your sake that I like your answer. Oh, the things that I will do to you if I don-   >

Rex: I made you this! *hands Yuki a necklace made from a Dawn Stone with the Heart Scale hanging in the middle* Please don't kill me!

Yuki: <   ... ... ...You were gone all day...because you were making THIS?   > *takes the necklace* <   YOU...YOU...YOU...   > *glomps Rex, the sky brightening again* <You're so thoughtful! I love it! Oh, this is made of Dawn Stone isn't it? I wonder if it was stolen from an Onix~>

Rex: ... *about to faint*

Dahlia: *has fainted*

Somewhere in Fortree

Veronica: (tosses a ring into the air)

Soarin': (catches it)

Thunderbolt: (chuckles)

Route 120

"... We should really let the others know about this..."

-Composes a mass text-

-And sends it-

edited 6th Jan '12 1:14:58 PM by TracerBullet

-gets Tracer's text, and heads his location, opting to ride on Skywalker-

- Gets the text -

Another meeting?

Odette: <Remember to actually bring up the weather thing this time!>

Yeah...

- Starts heading over there -

-gets Tracer's text-

Another meeting? Really? Okay, time to find out where this "old town" is.

Forte's tent

Shadow: -looks out the window- <Something strange is going on here.>

Icicle: <What is it?>

Shadow: <Well, Hail is normally only supposed to last for 5 turns. So why is it still snowing outside? You can't have been keeping this up on your own. You'd be exhausted.>

Icicle: <5 turns? What does that mean?>

Shadow: <It means this snow cloud should really be gone by now.>

Icicle: <I think it likes us! Maybe it's a blessing from Kyurem!>

Katie: -is still sleeping, hugging Cayenne tightly-

-I get the text-

Oh, I guess they're meeting over in Old Fortree. I missed the meeting they a few days ago though...

While Silent is checking his Pokégear, Sol has decided to go check on Ichtacya.

   Jemma   : <...Hey! Don't interfere with the reeducation of that silly dog, nya~! :3>

Sol: <You are a guest just as I am, but more ungrateful, do you know?>

   Jemma   : <Don't meddle in this! I'm teaching you next, nya~>

Jemma shoots some Sleep Powder onto Sol, who tilts her head. As the spores surround her, Sol's body shines blue for a moment and acquires a translucid colouration; some psychic discs then materialize around her and rotate her around her body, redirecting the spores back to Jemma.

   Jemma   : <...Nya?>

   Jemma   : <...zZz... purrr~> — claws the ground, curled.

Sol -blinks, returns to Ichtacya: <...Silly cat.>

Meanwhile, Silent receives yet another message.

"...Pokéringer? What is this thing? Ugh..."

Maekrite: <Do we have to go? We just got here...>

"Meh, if most of the group gathers together then they can handle it. Sometimes I feel as if I was being forced and dragged along to the others's adventures in a rush."

Maekrite: <Good point.> — tilts head — <Most of the group did just dropped us when they came here to Hoenn...>

Silent starts resorting his messages.

Somewhere on Route 120

- Some wild Pokémon are messing around with some machine, in a hidden area that appears have been abandoned a while ago, one or two blueprints none of the Pokémon really understand laying around -

Random Linoone: <Hmm... What is this peculiar device?>

Random Kecleon: (having pressed some random buttons, the device appearing to be doing something, even though it isn't clear exactly what) <I don't know... It makes noises, but I can't tell what it is supposed to do.>

Random Mightyena: <Humans are weird, man.>

Random Poochyena: (is tearing up the blueprints somewhat)

Random Mightyena: <Hey, don't do that! You don't know where those have been!>

- Umbra is staring at the sulight dappling on a pond when Lumos floats over -

Lumos: Hey, just wanted to tell you there's another meeting.

Umbra: Same person?

Lumos: No, it's that Tracer guy. The other 'mons said something about it having to do with the Pokeringer...

Umbra: Ah. Let's go then.

Above Fortree

- Tornadus and Thundurus are still arguing when a Pokeringer flyer floats by on the wind. Thundurus grabs it, and they both read it before Thundurus uses Nasty Plot gets a mischevious look on his face.

Thundurus: Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Tornadus?

Tornadus: I think so, Thundurus, but isn't that why they invented tube socks?

- Thundurus facepalms -

On the outskirts of Fortree

Tiamat: Oh! It's just as beautiful as I imagined!

Alduin: Ooh! Ooh! can we see EVERYTHING?

Tiamat: ...Let's take our time. The Pokeringer is tomorrow. And I doubt the humans would appreciate a Hydregion flying around.

Alduin: Awwwww....

Near Umbra

Abel: Hmmm... that trainer looks like a good challenge... - Follows Umbra -

One quick Xatu teleportation later

Okay, here we are. Now we just have to wait for the others to get here.

-Mezzo is wandering Fortree, trying to find the Old Town-

With all the buildings in the trees, they said. There are trees everywhere...

Forte's tent

-Forte is asleep in his own sleeping bag-

Fortree City

(49 and Pauly were practicing for the Pokeringer Competition. Then, they both stop to catch their breath.)

49: WHEW! That was a lot of training we did

Pauly: <I know. I think we can actually win the competition, now. But just to make sure... let's practice the Triple-Fire-Ring Swoop.>

49: OK, then... are you ready, Ember?

Ember: <Ready, Master.>

Beat

Pauly Shore: <GO!>

(49 threw three rings into the air, then, Ember set all three rings on fire using her Ember attack. Then, in one quick swoop in the air, Pauly fly through all three rings without any damage.)

49: WOW! THAT WAS GREAT!

Pauly: <I can't believe it... THE COMPETITION WILL BE OURS!>

(49 and Pauly both hive-five each in other in celebration)

-lands near Tracer- Your speed is getting really good, Skywalker!

Skywalker: <Really? You mean it?>

Yep! I think we have a good shot at winning the competition.

Skywalker: -beams-

Katie: -sleep-mumbling- Ohforteyouresosweet... -sighs and rolls over-

Cayenne: -is awake, and rolls his eyes-

- Walks over to where the meeting is to be held -

Hey guys!

Odette: (waves)

At the Meeting Place

"... We kinda found something important out..."

<Zoltan: "Nadia has a clone!">

<Nadia: "Zoltan!">

<Toothless: "To be fair, that is important...">

<Kat: "Not now little one...">

"Uh... Okay, something else that is important. It's about the Pokeringer's trophy..."

Styx: I heard it has gems on it. Are they tasty?

What about it?

Katie: -Forte must have said something funny in her dream, because she starts giggling-

Cayenne: <Could someone help me, please?>

Odette: <We're still not going to investigate the weird weather around these parts? What is up with->

Hang on, Odette. What about the Pokeringer trophy?

-Hears Zoltan-

A clone? When were you going to tell me about this Tracer and Nadia?

-To everyone else-

Well anyway, it appears that the Jade Orb happens to be wedged into that trophy. Yes, that Jade Orb.

Umbra: Wait... I heard legends about this as a boy. You mean the orb said to tame the sky god Rayquaza?

Styx: On second thought, I'll just go on a diet.

edited 6th Jan '12 2:00:05 PM by Umbramatic

The Jade Orb? Wow, it really exists?

Odette: <What about the strange weather? You know, snow in the desert... harsh sunlight here... Who knows what's next!>

Yeah, Odette. We'll get to the bottom of that soon enough.

- Turns my attention back to the subject at hand -

So, we have to keep it from falling into the wrong hands, right?

Odette: <... Nobody's going to be doing anything about the weather, are they?>

-Mezzo spots the rest of the group and walks over-

Hi. So what's the meeting about this time?

Forte's tent

Leaflet: -walks up to Cayenne- <You needed help?>

-Has gone back to doing what I have been doing for the past few days, sitting and waiting for the egg to hatch-
