ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Airship

We'll probably meet Pianis there too. Did I tell you that he somehow got teleported all the way to Johto?

Shadow: <Is there anyone else we're waiting on, or am I clear to take off?>

-Mezzo hears Onion's comment-

Wait, you're from Unova but you don't know about the Entralink? It's this weird place right in the center of the region.

Airship

You didn't...weird.

(to Onion) It's a pretty mysterious place.

(to Shadow) Probably? Dunno.

Forte: Hey, where's Katie? We're not leaving her behind!

Okay, there's one person we need to wait on... I think we should probably wait for DS and Wolf too.

Shadow: <Noted.>

Airship

Oh, that...right... Don't know why I didn't remember.

Pariah: <Well, remember you fell from ten feet twice?>

Oh yeah.

Pariah: <I guess that had to do SOMETHING.>

-pats Onion, then proceeds to collapse on the floor, fast asleep-

Breeze: <...I see.>

Airship

Pariah: <Really, it wasn't even ten feet. Probably more. How large are the gaps between floors in buildings these days?>

I don't know. But point taken.

Pariah: <And accounting for times it was done not necessarily by your own choice, the number is higher than two. Probably substantially.>

Um. Okay. I got it.

Pariah: <I wouldn't be surprised if the existence of the Entralink is the only basic thing you've forgotten.>

OKAY. Thank you.

Pariah: -falls asleep-

Professor Oak's Lab, a few minutes later

Casval is outside by the mailbox, being forced to ground himself before he's allowed to touch any of the circuitry.

Professor Oak: "Bill said that there was something wrong with the wiring. The main problem is that we're not exactly sure where that 'something wrong' is."

"Hmm...If only there were a convenient way for us to check the flow of electricity."

Artesia walks in, with Casval's Shellder and Slowpoke in her arms, heads into the kitchen, makes a sandwich, then goes back out.

"...Hmmm..."

Sinnoh Tribe Grounds - Sunday

-Waiting for a certain Pangolin mon to arrive-

<Kat: "Hmm...">

<Rising Star: "... Is that spike ball normally this late?">

<Kat: "I'm sure he'll be here soon... It's not like he would leave Sinnoh without me...">

Sinnoh Tribe Grounds - Now

-A certain Kanto Marowak is looking rather frustrated-

<Kat: "Ugh... Gene, you numbskull... I can't believe that you left Sinnoh without me!">

-Teasingly-

<Rising Star: "Well... It's not a total loss, is it? You're here after all...">

<Kat: "I guess... B-But I shouldn't be off on my own like this! I should be returning to-">

<Rising Star: "Well... You said you told your human that you wanted to check up on us right?">

<Kat: "Yeah...">

<Rising Star: "Well, I don't think he'd mind if you stayed behind a bit to gather some lore, do you? That is your job, right?">

<Kat: "... Heh... Well when you put it that way...">

<Rising Star: "Besides... Iron and the others said that I still need training on lorekeeping... And it's helpful to have an extra lorekeeper around for that, don't you think?">

-Smiling a bit-

<Kat: "Heh... I guess it is... Alright, where do you want do start?">

<Rising Star: "Wait, whu-">

-Smirking-

<Kat: "You didn't honestly think that 'training' was just going to consist of me letting you hit on me, did you?">

-Smiling-

<Rising Star: "I guess not...">

Mistralton City, in Another Universe...

-the group is waiting outside Chargestone Cave-

Tangent(?): Blenda? We can't wait all day... we can come back for you to mag-lev later, OK?

Cuyahoga: <Charizard don't hover around in magnetic caves, we can fly whenever we want!>

Roxy: <It looks kinda fun...>

Sam: Oh, who's that?

Skyla(?): Hello! Are you here for a Gym battle?

Tangent(?): Huh?

Blenda: -leviates outside the cave, dropping to the ground- <Who's this?>

Skyla(?): Oh my! Let me see...

Skyla's Mind's Eye

Roxy: -Sucker Punches Swoobat into humiliating defeat-

Cuyahoga: -puts up a valiant fight against Unfezant, but falls-

Blenda: -takes Swanna's distance attacks without a sweat, then Magnet Rises into the air to catch Swanna in a devastating Thunder Fang-

Reality

Skyla(?): ...well! That was an intense match! But you have earned the Jet badge! Here you go!

Tangent(?) got the Jet Badge!?

Skyla(?): And good luck with the rest of your league challenge!

-Skyla runs off to the airport-

Tangent(?): ...what just happened? -blinks-

That can't have been kosher...

AU!Icirrus - Back Alley Near a Laundromat

-The shadow of a young girl in a tuque, shirt, and jeans can be seen along a wall-

<Young Girl: "Heh, just a week or so, and then the spring festival will start!">

-And the shadow quickly shrinks to that of a much shorter, and quadrupedal form-

Five Minutes Later - Laundromat Closet

-What is apparently a Joltik crawls out of an air vent... And then dispels an illusion, revealing the form of a Zorua-

-While drawing near to a box with some pilfered articles of cloth and a few toys of mechs and other robots-

<"Young Girl": "Hmm... Sure has been cold this spring though... I hope it doesn't cut the festival short...">

-It had been over eight months since she really had to go around in that disguise... Or at least that was what mom said. Unless if she wanted to become a servant to some mean Liepard and Scolipede, or worse, like her father... But was he really all that bad? The things that he liked seemed interesting. And he had helped get her out of a few tight spots in Castellia before... And had even showed her how different machines made by humans worked-

-Looking over the toys-

<"Young Girl": "Someday, I'll find a Giga Golett toy... It'll go along great with this Pikachu mech here!">

-She wasn't really sure why she was still doing this. Maybe she should be staying in one place, there was no one to really run from anymore. But there was something about living with a disguise... No one really knew who you were, if you were careful, no one really paid attention to you, and you could go about and see what humans were up to at different times of the year. It was like a big game, one with endless possibilities to be explored-

-Starting to curl up-

<"Young Girl": "Hmm...">

-Still, she couldn't help but feel a bit lonely... It was a fun game, yes... But she sometimes wished that she had others to share it with. Someone who wanted to be able to go from place to place as they pleased... But... What sort of human couldn't do that already?-

<"Young Girl": "Zzz...">

-But alas, that was a problem for a different day... There were still some things to do in Icirrus before the festival started. Scouting out the right places to visit... Heck, if she got lucky, maybe she'd find that Giga Golett toy after all!-

Good night. And likely last post for next week and a half.

Oh yeah, that's Skyla! She sizes up your team in her mind, then awards you a badge based on whether she thinks you can win or not~ You must be good, she doesn't usually hand out badges. :3

-A Shiny Darmanitan comes out of nowhere and glomps Every for no raisin.-

Aha, so you've returned?! -sends out a Mismagius♀- Wraith, Shadow Ball!

Wraith: -blinks at the Darmanitan- <You seem harmless....my apologies.> -blasts the Darmanitan with Obscura-

Another!Chargstone

Pinky the Darmanitan: -is it by the Shadow Ball- I just wanted a hug! D:

- Suddenly, a man who would be familiar in a diiffrent universe arrives-

Another!Umbra: Oh no, not again... Sorry about my Darmanitan, he's a bit overenthusiastic.

Pinky: Why are people so mean? ;_;

Another!Chargestone

...Huh? Who are you?

Another!Chargestone

Another!Umbra: My name is Umbramatic. And the Shiny Darmanitan is Pinky. He's a bit... overaffectionate.

Pinky: All I want is to spread hugs around the world! IS THAT A BAD THING OR SOMETHING?

Other!Chargestone

Clearly~ -pets Pinky- Sorry, I mistook you for for somemon else~

Another!Chargestone

Pinky: That's better. :3

Another!Umbra: I see you train Ghost types. I quite like them myself.

OU, Violet City

Cinder: -carrying a bowl of baby food- Here you go, guys! -places the bowl in front of Nazz and Skipper-

Nazz: Mine!

Skipper: No, mine!

- They start pawing at each other angrily-

Cinder: Maybe I should have gotten two bowls...

Other!Chargestone

Ooh, and you use Pinky to cover your weaknesses? :3

Other!Chargestone

Another!Umbra: Yes! Plus, I like having some variety.

OU, Voilet City

Cinder: OK, let's try this again. -places two bowls in front of Nazz and Skipper-

Nazz: -Tries to grab Skipper's bowl-

Skipper: -tries to grab Nazz's bowl-

-they both start pawing angrily at each other again-

Cinder: Rrrr...

Oh, so you're not actually a Ghost trainer. :(

Another!Chargestone

Another!Umbra: Well, I used to be one... and I still train mostly Ghosts. I have a Chandelure, Sableye, Golurk, and Yamask.

OU Voilet City

Cinder: OK, this should work.

-the two babies are seated in high chairs with their own bowl of food-

Nazz: -starts flinging food at Skipper-

Skipper: -starts flinging food at Nazz-

Cinder: OH COME ON!

Another!Chargestone

Oh, good~ ...Wait. That's only five mons. TELL ME YOUR SIXTH MON~

Another!Umbra: A Kabutops! -lets out one- His name is Petrid.

Petrid: -waves a claw- 'Sup.
