ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Um...yes.

Nudi: <That place was so cold...>

DS' House

Pianis: Candice told me all about that. She said she was working with some researchers to investigate the temple and then... a lot of weird stuff, apparently.

...

Pianis: I'm surprised I didn't make the connection sooner.

Yeah, the old days were kind of...weird.

Audilith: <For all we know the Glitches just being around us was why so many weird things happened back then.>

DS' House

Pianis: You say that like things aren't weird now. I mean, first time I met you it was in a city that was half covered by a perpetual snowstorm.

You don't understand Pianis, back then things were even weirder.

DS' House

Pianis: Do I even want to know?

Hearthome

After cooking some Poffins, Fool and Lenore are sitting on a bench.

Fool: -Pouts- <What am I going to do now Lenore?>

Lenore brings out an Exploration Kit from Geromy's Hammerspace pocket.

^Lenore^: ^We could borrow Geromy's Exploration Kit and check out the Sinnoh Underground. Geromy doesn't mind!^

Geromy: <...>

^Lenore^: ^See?^

Fool: Great idea Lenore! Let's head into the Underground!.

As Fool takes the Exploration Kit, she is given the option to save the game and head underground. Which she does.

Underground

Fortis: -is collecting a pile of treasures- Still no Dusk Stone...

Keep digging. I'm sure we can find one eventually.

You probably don't.

DS' House

Pianis: Then I won't.

Underground

Rex: *is asleep* Zzz... *rolls over in his sleep...onto an Alert Trap*

Alert Trap: *booming voice*    I AM MOVING TO THE UNION ROOM!   

Rex: @_@ *is now very much awake* This place sucks. >_<

Underground

-the alert jolted Mezzo and Fortis awake!-

...Yeah, I think we can go back to the surface.

Fortis: Aww, but I didn't find my stone.

You got lots of pretty things, though. So put them all in your bag and let's go back up.

Fortis: Okay...

-Fortis stuffs the pile of Spheres, Gems, Heart Scales, and Shards into her bag-

Katie: -sleeping in a corner of DS' house, cuddling her egg, and Kessie, who saw an opportunity-

-Is awake for some reason-

Helryx:<I bet if we had a mon that knew Hypnosis you'd be able to sleep.>

Last time that happened, I slept through an entire day.

Helryx:<You still got to sleep though. And that's all that matters.>

DS's House

Lifealope: -Is curled up around Katie. It seems like the duo have formed a symbiotic realtionship with one another-

Route 31

Lifealope is Katie's Moirail.

Twinleaf Town

-Mezzo and Fortis surface from the Underground, pitch their tents, and swiftly fall asleep-

DS' House

-Pianis has fallen asleep on a nearby couch-

Airship

-Forte is sleeping in one of the airship cabins-

Cherrygrove - On The Beach

-To Umbra-

"Now where was I...? Oh right... How did you wind up having Cinder join your party anyways?"

-Aside, Andre can be seen attempting to put on a outwardly jovial face... But not without betraying some undertones of defeat and self-pity-

<Bottles: "Psst! You! Turtle-thing! What's eating that rock lizard anyways?">

<Iggy: "... I'm actually not sure. He was fine before we ran into Umbra again...">

Cherrygrove Beach

Umbra: I met him at Elm's lab. He told me he'd been cooped up there for quite a while, so I... "pulled some strings," if that's the expression, and got Elm to let me get him out and about, at least for a while.

Gilgmaesh: -can tell something is wrong with Andre, but is uncomfortable mentioning it and doesn't know it's because of him- Well... I'm gonna try and find something to eat in my Trainer's bag... See yah, bro! -wanders off-

Cinder: -pokes his head out from behind Gino- The killer pterosaur's under control, right?

Cherrygrove - Beach

-To Cinder-

<Zoltan: "... 'Killer'? But I'm nice! Or at least Tracer says I'm nice...">

<Lardna: "You are, but you can be a bit of a handful sometimes, Zoltan...">

-Feigning a smile-

<Andre: "See you.">

-And goes off behind Shaun to curl up into as close of an approximation of a ball as he can and close his eyes-

<Shaun: "... Are you alright?">

-Thinking-

<???: "Nice going, you little punk! So you want to be tough, but you don't have what it takes to begin with! Are you really that surprised that you'll never avoid being passed over for other mons?">

-In a small voice-

<Andre: "No... Please, just leave me alone...">

-Noticing Andre wallowing in self-pity-

"... Maybe we should meet up sometime tomorrow, I think the late hour might be getting to some of my mons."

PEFE HQ, Canteen

-a particular Pidove chick is searching for her favorite leftovers-

Riana: Donut crumbs! Donut crumbs!

Makuhita: -seated nearby- <Ah, triple-chocolate protein shakes... the best evening snack...>

Riana: !

Fighting type! Bad!

Riana used Gust!

Makuhita: -is slightly buffeted by the weak air current- <Oh? Sorry, young chick, have I done something to offend you?>

Riana: No good! Attack harder!

Riana used Toxic!

Makuhita: -ducks, dodging the glob narrowly- <I say! This is quite uncalled for!>

Cherrygrove Beach

Umbra: Yes... I'm getting rather tired myself.

Lina: -is suddenly stuck with the urge to go for a new hairstyle◊ -

Monty: -pokes Gilgamesh- Something itchin' ya?

Gilgamesh: I don't know... I think I made my brother feel bad...

PEFE HQ

-Unfortunately for the Makuhita, it is at this point that a certain Unfezant and Honchkrow enter the canteen-

<Courtney: "Mmm hmm hmm... I'm sure you'll love her... She's perfect! ... Even if she wound up responding to that horrid name that that dumb lizard came up for her...">

<Sonny: "'Riana'? Eh, at least it's not sovershenno netvorcheskoi, d-">

-And notices Riana squabbling with the Makuhita-

-In a threatening, barking (or as close as a crow can come to barking) tone-

<Sonny: "Chto vy delaete s moyei docheryu? "> *

Cherrygrove - Beach

"See you later, then..."

-And heads off with mons-

-While leaving, and cradling a balled up Andre-

"Are you alright, Andre? What happened back there?"

Makuhita: -now being pecked on the head- <Argh! I was just minding my own business, I didn't ask for a fight!>

Riana: -perched on the Makuhita's head, doing scratch damage- Bad! Fight! Faint!
