Hearthome Gym
One of the local Trainers meets Rex and stares at him.
Gym Trainer: "Hey, you! Want a battle?"

Rex: Huh? *turns to the Gym Trainer* Oh, well, umm... actually, I was in a bit of a hurry to face Fantina. You see, the J-Team is on their way to Sinnoh, and I wanted to complete my League Challenge before the region inevitably erupts into chaos. So, can I pass, please? *smiles*
Ruth: ...what?
Mira: J-Team? ...Oh, you must know DS! How is she doing?
Ian: <I sense that some of the others are near...Mossdeep, I think. Should we go there?>

Random Gym Trainer: "B-but... I wanted a battle..." Sniffs, turns and goes away.
Trainer's Haunter -floats in and follows: <Seriously you need to grow up... and besides, the J-Team is coming and you're moping...?>
The trainer goes away, allowing Rex free pass to the Gym Leader room.
Fanfic Recs orwellianretcon'd: cutlocked for committee or for Google?I guess.
-Flies toward Mossdeep-
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Rex: Awww... *feels bad, man, but continues on to meet Fantina*
PEFE HQ - My Quarters
-Holding a set of bowls-
<Iggy: "Let's see where's that-">
-And notices that kibble dispenser has been filled with a jellybean-esque food-
<Iggy: "... What on earth happened to the kibble? And what's with all this candy?">
-Takes one of the "jellybeans" and tastes it-
<Iggy: "Hmm... It's not sweet enough to be a jellybean... And... It seems more filling...">
-Eyes the dispenser-
<Iggy: "Well... I guess that it won't be the end of the world to give some hungry mons these things to eat... Can't be any worse than socks...">
-And fills the bowls up with this peculiar new food-

Wattson: -pops out of the bushes, holding a balloon-
WAAAAAAA HA HA! You thought you could skip old man Wattson's gym! I salute your audacity, but you're light years from outpranking me! I'll electrify you!
-Wattson uses the balloon to give Anom a static shock-
Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?-BZZZT-
Ow! What- How did you know I would be here?!

-A certain Blastoise has brought a series of bowls filled with the peculiar new food before the Typhlosion, Umbreon, and Purrloin-
<Iggy: "Sorry if they seem a little strange, but at least they-">
-Is cut off by the three ravenously wolfing down the contents of their bowls-
<Delta!Typhlosion: "(*sniffle*) F-Food! Real food!">
<Delta!Farfetch'd: "Wait, so you guys weren't kidding about eating socks?">
<Iggy: "... Taste decent...">

Wattson: -taken aback- Err- I- well-
I'm just that good! I was certainly not bored enough from having no challengers in a while to start spying on people who defeated Brawly...
Magneton: -hovers down from the sky, with a video camera bolted on to it- Bzzt! <Smile for the camera!>
Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?With Tagg
Kim: Me? Oh, it's been about a year and a half now. I'm fairly new at this. *looks embarrassed* Erm...how long have you been a trainer?
...Okay, then...

Wattson: So... err... I am absolutely not battle-deprived at all, but how about a completely friendly match?
PEFE HQ
Professor Banana: Results promising, but ravenous hunger weakens the rigor of this sample...
Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?Uh... could it wait. I just got here... Sorry...
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!-Chuckles-
Ah, to be just starting out and relatively inexperienced. I've been a trainer since I was 10, and I'll be 21 this coming July. So yeah, I've kind of been at this for a while.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Kim: *gets a bit redder at being called inexperienced* W-well, I have some skill... *composes herself* That long? So, I take it that you would be one of those... what were they called again? ...Cooltrainers Ace Trainers?

I think I'd count for Veteran status by now.
-Points at Xatu-
Xatu here I caught at the Ruins of Alph when I was 11.
Xatu: <Exactly as I foresaw.>
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Kim: Oh? You knew Tagg would capture you? I wonder if knowing that caused it to happen...or if it would've happened anyway. Seeing the future sounds complex. *mulls that over for a bit* So, Xatu, why did you decide to go with Tagg? Because of the vision?
AU - Driftveil
-A male trainer is walking down the street with a team of his Pokemon-
Tracer(?): "Hmm... Well, I guess that everything's been working out... All things considered..."
-A certain pink Meinshao is ringed by rest of his teammates so as to not be immediately visible by others-
<Natrix: "This is stupid, why on earth haven't we just recruited a Zoroark or something! ... Actually, why haven't we recruited a Zoroark? It would have made getting around so much easier back home...">
<Dahak: "Well, it's not as if being followed by a ton of other humans will really help you find other Pokemon to train...">
-Via Aura-
<Simo: "... Are you referring to what happened with Clay earlier?">
Earlier - AU - Driftveil
-The male trainer happens to bump into a certain local Gym Leader-
Clay: "Oh, well howdy there! It's been a while since we met!"
Tracer(?): "Yeah, yeah..."
Clay: "Sure have been through a lot, haven't you?"
Tracer(?): "Yeah, no thanks to you! I swear, you're almost as bad at Brycen when it comes to helping to ruin my life!"
Clay: "Thanks for saving me from those Zoro- Wait, WHAT? "
-Pausing, mentally facepalming-
Tracer(?): "Uh... Please tell me that I didn't just say that out loud..."
AU - Driftveil - "Present"
"... No, but hey, at least I don't have to worry about being that close to Clay in this universe... I was referring more to that one guy..."
Earlier, after the Prior Bit With Clay
-Visibly frustrated-
Tracer(?): "Ugh... That was really what I needed..."
???: "Hey there, you here to come here to battle with a friend?"
Tracer(?): "... Wait, huh?"
-And sees a rough-looking trainer standing at a door with a female counterpart-
Charles the Committed Man: "Name's Charles, used to be a bit of a heartbreaker, but I've settled down a bit ever since things changed out here in Unova..."
-In a flirting tone-
Biker Chick: "Well hey, some things work out for the better, don't they?"
Charles the Committed Man: "Heh... So I've been helping to teach the art of battling in unison with friends... It's amazing what you can accomplish when you've got someone you can fall back on side-by-side with you..."
AU - Driftveil - "Present"
Tracer(?): "... That's what I'm talking about... And I can't help but wonder... Did he have a point?"
<Teala(?): "Well, battling in groups is our strength as guards... I imagine that it must also be the same for humans...">
<Dreyer: "Hmm... Well, we could have always taken one of your friends with us!">
<Nimbus: "... Didn't they all have things to do though?">
Tracer(?): "... It's a shame that I've got no one to really be close like that to... Not without the world trying to force its way in for the ride... ... I can't help but wonder what that would have been like though..."

The egg is now riddled with cracks and on top of that, is glowing.
Egg: Sombody kind who touches your mind...
The egg starts producing a blinding light as the Egg hatches.
Egg: <Will suddenly touch your heart~!->
Vyvquaza: <Darn, those songs in that movie were great! I've had most of the songs playing in my head for what? One, Two... three days now?>
Vyvyan looks around.
Vyvquaza: <Wh-where am I...? Who are you people and why can't I feel my legs?>
Vyvyan takes a good look at himself.
Vyvquaza: <...>

A Zigzagoon perks up his ear.
Zigzagoon #1: <Can you hear something saying AAAAARGH at the top of it's lungs?>
Another Zigzagoon perks her ears up.
Zigzagoon #2: <Faintly, I wonder what it is?>
Zigzagoon #1: <Eh, probably nothing important. Let's go back to eating these Oran Berries :3>
Back at the Ozone HQ
-Phi clutches her ears for a bit-
Phi: <OKAY, WHO SCREAMED?>
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
I have no clue.
