ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Sinnoh Tribe

-Kat is assisting with an unofficial patrol of the tribal perimeter, when she comes across an elder and elder-apparent in conversation-

Red Skull: <...it was not an option anybody liked at the time, but in retrospect- oh, hello Chain of Spades.>

Rising Star: -perks up- <Hi Kat!>

Red Skull: <You will have to tell me more of the lore behind these human-given names sometime. But for now, I will leave you two to talk. heh>

-and he wanders off cheerily-

Kat: -blushes, though her biology doesn't make it evident- <So...>

Rising Star: -remaining especially cheery- <um... oh! So, you didn't leave with the others after that... wizard visit?>

Kat: -shakes her head- <They have enough people to find the last Tears quickly enough; I wanted to make sure that you're safe if that wizard attacks outside the Twilight again.>

<...That would be a plural "you" in human language!>

<Though, I mean, if you wanted to go help look for Tears, I would be happy to escort you...>

Rising Star: -looks interested- <I... am not sure what the elders would think about that... I mean, they let those three from the Moor Clan go very far away on a lore-gathering mission, but they probably want to keep a closer eye on me... but I'm not helpless... and it'd be a date->

-suddenly frantic- <er, that is lucky for travelers! A good date for a journey, there is lore on that I'm sure!>

Kat: <Oh- yes- of course!>

<...Moor Clan? I hadn't heard of this, where did they go?>

Tohjoh Falls, Past

Lyra: Wait, how did we get here?!

Spiky-eared Pichu: <An EVENT!>

Pikachu-colored Pichu: <Behold, the exclusive content you are about to witness!>

Past!Giovanni: -does a graceful swan dive off the waterfall into the water below-

Wild_Raticate: -holds up a 10.0 sign-

Wild_Chingling: -holds up a 10.0 sign-

Wild_Makuhita: -holds up a Eight Point Eight sign-

Giovanni's Nidoking: -Thrashes the Makuhita-

Yellow Threedot: <I am terribly confused...>

Reed Snorkel: -prepares to do a dive of her own, but is interrupted by the scene returning to-

Ilex Forest

Reed Snorkel: <Aw, Apricorns.>

- Is currently asleep -

-I have trudged through the barrier in Mt. Coronet, still not quite understanding how Aurora can get through it, and am now walking up Route 216-

Man, I hate going up this route.

Sorry I wasn't on last night. I needed sleep badly. anything new?

Aramil: Not really, at least not on your end.

Voilet City

Human!Latios: So, where you headed, Drew dude? I was looking to meet up with that Silent dude again...

Route 217, last night

Umbra: -lets out Gilgamesh and Mata Nui- Remember, ranged attacks!

-They fire off a Stone Edge and Earthquake-

Lina: -lets out Yomi and Terry- Stall 'em!

- They both use Toxic. -

Gene: -lets out Sonny- Do your thing.

-Sonny starts spamming Toxic and Roost. -

Acuity Cavern, now.

- Umbra and Co. are waiting for Tagg. -

Acuity Cavern

-Crawls out of my backpack-

- Has woken up -

Acuity Cavern

Umbra: Hello, Tagg.

Lina: When do you think we'll see Uxie?

-A yellow orb suddenly appears in the center of the room-

I guess now.

- Wonders what Uxie will have to tell us -

Acuity Cavern

- Umbra and Lina let out nearly all their Pokemon to watch-

Bahamut: Hello, fellow deity!

Gino: Ooh, shiny, nyan!

Bucky: Can I play with it?

Gino: I saw it first!

-they hiss at each other-

Axel: -scoffs- Cats...

-The iPhokex plays this as Uxie appears from the orb-

Uxie: <So after all of your trials, they lead you all the way up here. I know you seek answers.>

Acuity Cavern

Umbra: -bows slightly to Uxie- Yes, we do.

Mata Nui: Is the hostile's weakness one of those answers?

Susano: Nah. If my fantasy novels give me any indication, they wouldn't reveal it that quick.

Rarity: Hmph. I don't see what's so special about this Uxie. I'm far prettier!

Lina: Yeah, you keep telling yourself that...

Uxie: I have something to tell you all, but first you must obtain all 35 of my Tears located in this region. Then I will tell you what you need to know.

Darn legendaries, must they always be so utterly cryptic?

Uxie: -To me- As you can tell Tagg, what I told you about being removed from the spotlight has come true.

...Yeah.

What did she tell you?

-is maintaining a reverential silence around Uxie-

Acuity Cavern

Umbra: ...Spotlight?

Well it's obvious, isn't it? This haze rendering Souls like myself practically invisible.

Acuity Cavern

Umbra: Ah.

Gravemind: We wouldn't know... oh wait, we do.

- Listens to Uxie -

Uxie: Once you get all of those Tears, the path to the one known as Annoski will be revealed. I will warn you though, this will be your toughest hunt yet, as you already know his forces are hunting for you.

-Uxie then disappears-

... Guess we better get started, then?

Any idea where to find some? I have a feeling this might be more difficult. Northern Sinnoh doesn't have quite as many obvious landmarks as the southern areas.

- Thinks for a moment -

Well, there's Snowpoint, and I'm guessing we could probably find some over in the Battle, Resort and Survival Areas.

I really hope there aren't any buried under the three feet of snow out there...

Three? More like ten, at least.
