ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Katie: -shyly smiles at him- Yeah...

-looks back and forth between them-

Sol: <Who is this, then?>

Comet: <What's Dusty, he hatched just yesterday.>

Sol gives the others an interested look.

Sol: <Ah, so he was inside your egg, then?>

Treeo nods.

Treeo: <Yep. Cute, isn't he? If a bit bitey.>

Treeo pauses to rub the part of his tail where the Trapinch had bit him a few moments ago. It wasn't a hard enough bite to draw blood (or some sap, in his case).

Stratus: <I'm sure it's just a phase, Treeo. He'll probably grow out of it when he evolves. Like, when I was a Dratini, I went through a phase where I ate lots and lots before evolving, but then I...>

Stratus stops, realizing how hypocritical he's about to sound. He then frowns, his antennae drooping in sadness.

<Bad example...>

Woolly gently pats Stratus to make him feel better, glancing at Sol in the meantime.

Woolly: <Is Silent here, Sol?>

The Espeon nods, watching as Dusty gazes with interest at her tail.

Sol: <He's inside shopping with the others right now.>

Wanting to test what the nice pink one tasted like, Dusty bites at her tail, only for Sol to sense it coming, flicking it out of the way, leaving the Trapinch to clamp a mouthful of air.

<He should be out sometime soon though.>

Lilycove, Department Store

- Sierra is looking at some Pokémon dolls -

Sierra: Hmm... If I ever made a Secret Base, I bet some of those would look nice in it.

Mawile: <... Why aren't there any Mawile dolls here?>

Minun: (to Mawile) <Try to stay out of trouble.>

Mawile: <Hey, I was just asking a question...>

Dept Store.

[Senator Silversnout] : [My! What a fine sir! Here, a monacle for you!]

Senator Silversnout bestows a monacle on Maekrite. His GentlMANLYness goes up by 5

^Lenore^: ^This story is called "The Luxray & the Rattata"^

Lenore inhales before telling the tale.

^Lenore^: ^In old archaic days, there was a Luxray sleeping in his den, when suddenly a Rattata climbed up on his back! The Luxray woke up from his nap with frustrations and swiped the Rattata underneat his paw. "Who are you to wake up the king of beasts!" roared the Luxray with angers, "Oh please! Let me live!" said the Rattata "I shall pay you back one day!". The Luxray was amused by this, so he let him go.

THEN SUDDENLEY, they danubed into Outer Space! The Luxray got a Mecha made by Arcues himself and an army who's general was Bill Nye the Sneasel Guy and the Rattata got a moonbase that wasn't on a moon and an army who's general was BILLY MAYS.

They ate honey nut chocolate for the rest of their lives. The End :D^

Elsewhere in the Dept Store.

Vyvyan is browsing the posters section. He seems uneasy when he sees the Red & Blue posters...

Rex: *writes down what Mezzo is saying* ...hmm...this is mostly gibberish.

Dept. Store, Inside

Maekrite takes the monocle, then looks at it for a moment and equips it.

Maekrite: <Why thanks, Senator!>

After that, Silent's Pokémon listen to the story... and they just stay there.

Maekrite: <...>

Algira: <I liked that Aesop!>

Dintel: <...I got lost back in the mecha...>

Ekans: <*hiss*?> (ie.: "...what is a Rattata?")

Algira: <I wish I could nom honey nut chocolate too! Wonder if Helios would like it...>

Maekrite: <That story was interesting...> — claps.

Algira: <...what did just...> — flashes mild patterns of confusion.

Dintel -claps: <Better than Silent's stories! He sucks at this!>

Dept. Store, Outside

Silent walks out carrying some bags. He sees Luke and Sol, and waves a hand.

Sol nods at Silent, flicking her tail again to evade another bite from Dusty.

Dusty: <Ooh, this one moves!>

"Oh, hello Silent! Nice to see you again after all this time."

I gesture at Sol.

"You've been taking good care of Sol it, seems."

Treeo comes up to us, giving Silent a wave hello.

Treeo: <Hi, Silent...>

He fiddles with his claws briefly, looking a bit awkward.

<Um...have you heard anything from...you know...Copahue and Harriet? And Shahinne, of course...>

Dept Store

^Lenore^: -Bows- ^Thank you everyone~ Thank you~ My major influence was Quetzal and her Bizarre Dream World adventures! I takes the really interesting parts and oput them on paper~ I'm glad you liked the show!^

At that moment Fool walks over to Lenore.

Fool: Hello there Lenore! Did you have a fun time entertaining Silent's mons?

^Lenore^: ^Oh yes yes! I indeed did have a fun time! They liked it too |D^

Fool: I know you want to tell another story Lenore, but we've gotta go.

^Lenore^: ^Aww.. D:> ^

Fool: Besides, you get to talk to Quetzal once we go outside!

^Lenore^: -Using Sir Snaggletooth, Quetzal waves goodbye to Silents mons- ^I'll see you guys later! I promise I'll tell you guys another story!^

[Sir Snaggletooth] : -Being swung around- [Aiyaiyaiyai!] .

Fool and Lenore leave the building, Lenore excited that she gets to see her bffsy again.

Silent walks up to Luke and team.

"Well, Sol seems to have had lots of fun. And she helped me a lot to raise that Egg... so I guess she is happy. Hey, I bought her some books..."

Silent shows a case containing copies of three books:

• "Analysis of Synchronoise-Assisted Telemetry and its Usage in Lower-Orbit Exploration"
• "Fifteen Kanto Cold Cases"
• "The Market of Meritocracy: What to Value When Everyone Can Have a Rattata"

Silent turns to Treeo.

"Harriet and Copahue are doing fine, last I heard. They have a house and all, and I have some of the Nidos keeping tabs on them, but they don't know yet. Also, Copahue says Shahinne has not spammed the city with Double Team and that is good..."

Meanwhile, inside the building, all of the mons sans Dintel say bye to Fool and Lenore. The Sandshrew just sits there pondering about the story.

Algira: <I hope we can hear more stories like that! I feel like that kind of stories should be pushed on mons!>

Maekrite: <Hmm... I wonder if a visit by the Senator to PEFE could be arranged...>

49: So... I meet a wild pokemon... want a battle?

Slowbro: Sure, I guess.

49: Oh wait, all my pokemon fainted... I need to go to the Pokemon Center... stay right here, I'll be back. (Runs off to the Pokemon Center)

Slowbro: ...

49: OK, I'm back, let's do this thing.

Slowbro: OK.

49: OK, then, go Ygorl.

Ygorl: <Hello>

Slowbro: A Croagunk... eh, not my tastes.

All of us glance at the titles of Sol's books.

Sol: < :3>

Everyone else: <:?>

Dusty: <:O The pink one's tail is sneaky!>

Treeo scratches his head, then gives Silent a smile.

Treeo: <Oh, that's great. Thanks for letting me know. And tell them I said hi...>

In the stands

Forte: -smiles back- Um, yeah.

- Umbra watches the carnage from Gilgamesh's Stone Edge with shock, then looks around for a chance to disassociate himself from the situation. Then, he sees Silent -

Umbra: Is that...

- He walks over, and his Pokemon do the same. -

Eterna City (Future)

Rex: *is walking around with Rascal* That sure was an interesting exhibit. I didn't expect to see a Legendary in the city! Well, a real one anyway. Not like that statue of Dialga...or Palkia...or whatever that thing is. *shrugs*

Rascal: <I wonder if Kim knows about the Manaphy Egg being found by Rangers.>

Rex: Hmm...maybe. I should ask her about it sometime.

Rascal: <By the way...when are we going to the Gym?>

Rex: Tomorrow, more than likely. I want to learn more about the Legendaries! This is good for my research~

Rascal: <Hmmm...> *paws at Rex's leg* <Hey, Rex?>

Rex: Hmmm?

Rascal: <I can has participate in Gym Battle? :3>

Rex: Don't be silly. You are too high leveled for these early Gyms.

Rascal: <Awww...>

Rex: But don't worry. I'll be sure to use you once we get to the last Gym. You'll be my secret weapon~

Rascal:

Rex: Hehe. *wanders in front of a strange building, covered in spikes* ...Eh? What's this place? *decides to explore the building, since it seems to be open to the public*

Silent pats Sol.

"Well, Sol liked those books when she saw them. She also liked a VCR programming manual but I'd have need an Aggron to carry it So I bought those for her. It's on my account Luke, don't worry."

To Treeo:

"I can keep you in touch with them later. Don't worry, they'll all be fine and happy. Oh well look at the time! Bye all... have fun, Sol."

Silent leaves back to the Dept. Store, notices someone looking at him.

Be back in 1h

Outside

Fool let's Quetzal out.

Quetzal: <OH NO! THE EVIL PIRATE ZOMBIES ARE TAKING OVER MY BASE ON SATURN! QUICK! ARM THE PIE CANNONS MY NINJA ROBOTS BEFORE IT'S TOO->

Quetzal turns to Lenore!

Quetzal: <Lenore! Hows it been my bffsy! Also, that new looks suits you!>

^Lenore^: ^Why thanks the best Archeops in the whole universe! I still see you're cranking out those adventures!^

Quetzal: <Yep! The adventures Crush and I have in the Dream World are always fun! Yesterday, we particpated in a cooking contest on Titan and won a base on Saturn!>

^Lenore^: ^Good times man, good times^

Quetzal: <Slip me some skin bbfsy *Bffsy>

Lenore and Quetzal Hi-Five. Lenore would ventroliquize Sir Snaggletooth screaming in agony, but is too excited in talking with her friend that sha forgets to.

Meanwhile, Fool is chuckling in the corner while petting both Molniya and Hathor.

Hathor: <So that's what having a "Bffsy" is like...>

Molniya: <Rust Red? No! Much to archaic and messy looking! Though, it is the right material for a hat... Hmm.... I think Lime Green would suit him better! Lime Green felt... Yes! That's it! I shall make him a suit of Lime Green felt!>

- Umbra notices Silent looking at him back-

Umbra: Salutations! You were slumbering last time I met you... but your Nidorino was quite amiable! My name's Umbramatic, High Priest of Giratina! Please believe me.

- All of Umbra's Pokemon wave, except for Gilgamesh and Xu, who are rather confused. -

Xu: Who is this fellow?

Lumos: He's a person we met back near Fortree. Well, we didn't really meet him - like Umbra said, he was sleeping - but we got to meet some of his Pokemon.

Xu: Wonderful! Perhaps they would like a reading...

Gilgamesh: You wanna play?

PEFE HQ - On the Roof

<Delta!Floatzel (Gyarazel): "The antenna should be just up ahead.">

<Delta!Farfetch'd: "So that's what the humans think is causing their screens to not display text?">

<Gyarazel: "Does it matter? They said that they wanted us to take a look at it...">

<Shiny!Vulpix: "... Wait, why am I here? It's not as if I can really help with this antenna, you know!">

<Delta!Lucario: "Because we're a team, and you got stuck with us.">

<Shiny!Vulpix: "Oh yeah, because I'm going to be able to magically draw you something to help you out of thin air here!">

<Delta!Lucario: "... What brings that up?">

<Shiny!Vulpix: "Er... Don't worry about it...">

-Spotting a listing antenna-

<Delta!Farfetch'd: "Oh! There it is!">

-Drawing near to the base of the antenna-

<Shiny!Vulpix: "... It's coming loose...">

-To the Vulpix-

<Gyarazel: "Looks like you'll be able to help after all. Tell us when this thing is upright.">

-Rolls eyes as the Floatzel and Farfetch'd fly up to tend the upper portion of the antenna while the Lucario attempts to push the antenna into place from the bottom-

<Shiny!Vulpix: "Mmph. So why on earth did you freaks all decide to stay here?">

-The Farfetch'd shoots a leer at the Vulpix-

<Delta!Farfetch'd: "Rrr... For a mon that's the same color as someone's puke, you sure throw "freak" around rather liberally!">

<Delta!Lucario: "Ugh... Oh no, not this again...">

<Gyarazel: "If you must know, some of us would rather not return to the wild. I'm sure that you can relate...">

<Shiny!Vulpix: "HEY! That's different! I almost got flayed! And why didn't you go to one of the humans that were ready to take you?">

<Delta!Farfetch'd: "Must have been a really cheap hat that those humans were going to make you into...">

<Delta!Lucario: "Why didn't you go?">

<Shiny!Vulpix: "Well... I made some friends here...">

<Delta!Farfetch'd: "Really, with that attitude? I'd have neve- WHOA!">

-And is pushed back by the antenna abruptly listing due to the Lucario allowing the antenna to return to its original position-

<Delta!Lucario: "Oh, hush...">

-To the Vulpix-

<Gyarazel: "... And you think that we didn't also make friends here?">

<Shiny!Vulpix: "Er... Uh... Sorry... I'm really bad at this, aren't I?">

<Delta!Farfetch'd: "Yes, you a- HEY!">

-The antenna lists slightly again-

<Delta!Lucario: "Oops. It slipped.">

<Gyarazel: "Ugh. Enough already! Does this look straight? I want to swim!">

<Shiny!Vulpix: "Move it a little more to your right...">

Vyvyan snaps out of his stupor for a moment.

Vyvyan: Well... I do have a spare Secret Power TM in my Pocket if you want it Sierra! And while I'm here, I should by some food for my Pokemon... That ones that do eat that is...

Vyvyan thinks for a moment.

Vyvyan: I wonder what Buggle and Depthcharge would eat? By the looks of their teeth, I'd say they would be meat-eaters but I'm not sure....
