ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Anyway, should we be getting back onto the rails soon?

We can't get back onto the rails until we're all here at the same time. Poo.

Who's the fox that Dasiy's yelling about?

Madrugada. She's a Forum Admin.

Epic derail is epic.

Tin Tower, Johto, nine years ago

-Ho-Oh looks at my defeated team-

Ho-Oh: You may not be a trainer that I'm looking for, but you may become one someday. To that end...

-Leaves behind a Rainbow Wing and flies off-

Wow....

-Takes the Rainbow Wing-

I'll become a better trainer, and prove myself worthy of this feather.

You already said that a couple of pages back, Tagg.

-9 years ago-

-Staring out at the Lake of Rage with my Pokemon. We've spent the last few days in Mahogany Town, resting up before making the dangerous trek to Blackthorn.-

-Something green moves in the bushes. I go over to investigate, and discover a Chikorita stuck in the branches. I let her go, and she runs across the grass.-

Hey! Come back!

-I run after her, my Pokemon following behind me. We follow her all the way to a small nest, with four more Chikorita in it.-

This must be her family! But where are their parents?

-I look for Bayleef or Meganium in the area, but find nothing. The Chikorita huddle together in a pile, looking around nervously.-

I can't find their family. I wish there was something more we could do for them... We need to get back though. Come on, guys.

-We leave the little clearing and go back to our hotel.-

I gatta go now.

I want to do this little argument scene for the Backstory, but I have homework that needs doing.

No homework at this hour= Success!

-The next morning-

-The weather is terrible, but we can't put off our trip any longer.-

Is everyone ready to move on to Blackthorn?

-While everyone agrees, Bayleef hesitates.-

What's wrong?

-Bayleef anxiously looks over her shoulder at the Lake of Rage, and shuffles her feet.-

You're worried about the Chikorita, aren't you.

-Bayleef bobs her head up and down.-

...You...want to stay...

-Bayleef nods, and lets up a baleful cry-

...

...

...

Okay.

-I hug her, tears rolling down my cheek-

I'm going to miss you, girl.

-She cries too.-

Good-bye.

-She takes a step back, and licks my face. Then she turns and walks toward the Lake. When she's almost there, she turns around and looks back and hesitantly starts to come back.-

Go. I'll come back for you. I promise.

-She stops, turns, and leaves. As she goes, it starts to rain.-

-I hang my head, and sob.-

Wolf, don't make me cry! Please?. . . Crap, I'm being yelled at to go to bed and leave the computer downstairs. Apparently my mom doesn't trust me with it in my room. That's just stupid.-shifty eyes- Oh well. I'm going to be a little late tomorrow but hopefully Gamer will cover for me. Oh and Wolf. You made me sad. Good job. Goodnight!

Oak's Ranch, present day

Venusaur: <I haven't seen Tagg in a while.>

Dugtrio: <Don't worry, he'll come to visit every year like he usually does.>

~Backstage at a concert, Modern Day~

A Pop Star: -Check over the outfit, slip on a plastic bracelet to go with the one already worn-

Assistant: -Poke head through open door- You're on in 10 minutes.

Pop Star: Thank you Carlos. -Grabs mic, adjusts costume ears and heads out towards the stage and the hordes of adoring fans-

The Pokemon League, present day

We've all been through a lot of crap before we even met each other haven't we?

Outside of Pinwheel Forest, five years ago

Papa Throh: <Son, it's time for your training to be worthy of wearing your belt and outfit.>

Mama Gurrdurr: <Come out son.>

-A much smaller and younger Throh comes out-

Throh: <I'm ready Mom and Dad!>

Papa Throh: <Good.>

-Uses Revenge on his son-

<Now let's see how much you can take.>

Omigosh Slouch that's the best origin story EVAR.

-Throh has been throughly beaten down, but has kept standing-

Papa Throh: <Good job son, you've earned your belt.>

Throh: <I did well, huh Dad?

Good night everyone.

Buenos noches.

Okay, night.

- Unova Route 4, two years ago the Sandile later known as Goggles is wandering around the desert looking rather confused -

Goggles: <... Okay, I'm definetly lost.>

- A Maraktus looks over at Goggles -

The Maraktus: <Hey, I've seen you before. Did you get lost again, little Sandile?>

Goggles: <Yeah... I was on my way to meet some friends, but if they find out I got lost again, they're going to just look at me and shake their heads just like my parents do!>

The Maraktus: <Really?>

Goggles: <Yeah! And it's not just my parents and my friends, my siblings do it to! And my other relatives! And our neighbours! And total strangers!>

The Maraktus: <Wow...>

Goggles: <And I don't understand why they keep doing that! It's not my fault I keep getting lost, there's a lot of sand in this desert! Enough to make a giant sandwich!>

The Maraktus: <Do people even use real sand in those?>

Goggles: <Why else call it a sandwich?>

The Maraktus: <You have a point there.>

Goggles: <Well, it was nice talking to you. But I have to go find my friends now.>

The Maraktus: <Okay, bye.>

- Goggles continues searching for his friends while the Maraktus stays in the same spot -

-My X-transiver starts ringing. I exchange a confused glance with my Pokémon.-

Wulfric: <Who would call you at a time like this?>

Well, I haven't really told many people what exactly we're doing here. For all everyone else knows, I'm not doing anything important right now.

-I answer the call.-

Hello?

Keldeo: <Mister Luke?>

Keldeo?! Where did you get an X-transiver?

Keldeo: <Oh, I borrowed Miss Virizion's one!>

Okay, why are you calling?

Keldeo: <I'm worried about you and your friends Mister Luke! You're okay aren't you?>

...Well, some of us are better then others...

Keldeo: <...What does that mean?>

...It's complicated, but If I tell you, you'll just worry about us more. Listen, we're gonna' be fine, okay little guy?

Keldeo: <But...But what if you lose?>

...

...I don't know...

-Deciding to intervene, Keldeo I quickly puts his cloak back on (Not wanting to see his son again for the first time in these circumstances) and trots into frame.-

Keldeo I: -Speaking in a low voice so his son doesn't recognise him- <Listen, Keldeo...>

Keldeo: <Who are you?>

Keldeo I: <I'm...A friend. Listen, if we fail here, don't try fight M yourself, stay with the warriors, they'll keep you safe until the legendaries can figure out another way to stop 'M. Do you understand?>

Keldeo: <...Yeah.>

Keldeo I: <...Good.>

Okay...I really should be going now. If we beat M, I'll let you know as soon as possible, okay?

Keldeo: <Okay. Bye Mister Luke...>

Bye Keldeo.

-I end the call, then give Keldeo I a look.-

...Why didn't you want him seeing who you were?

Keldeo: <This isn't the time to talk about that.> -Keldeo I pulls his cloak off- <I'll explain everything in due time.>

...If you say so...

- Unova Route 4, two years ago -

Goggles: <Ooh, what's that?>

- Goggles notices a cardbox laying around, he peeks inside, only to fall into it. Shortly afterwards, he falls out of a different cardboard box in a different location -

Goggles: <Hey! This isn't the desert!>

- Goggles tries exploring the strange dungeon he finds himself in, only for a Mawile to run right into him -

The Mawile: <Ow! Hey! Watch where you're going, Sandile! I'm in a hurry here!>

Goggles: <Who are you?>

The Mawile: <I am Princess Mawile of Cloud Cuckooland, and this dungeon is under my father's castle.>

Goggles: <... Cloud Cuckooland?>

Princess Mawile: <You're not from around here, are you? Well, let me fill you in. You see, a few months ago, this Steelix came and defeated my father, King Porygon-Z. I am trying to take to find a way to defeat Steelix and take back the castle.>

Goggles: <Need any help? I'm very good at biting stuff!>

Princess Mawile: <No thanks. I can handle this on my own.>

- Princess Mawile runs off -

Goggles: <... Well, I probably won't be coming back here again, so how I can I pass up the chance of helping a princess? Hey, babe! Wait up! I can help you! I'm a Sandile!>

- Goggles runs off in the direction Princess Mawile went off in -

Elgyem: Pardon me... Eldest Beheeyem?

-The Edlest Beheeyem, called so because she was the first in the tower to have evolved into Beheeyem, turns her head and looks down at the Elgyem. He still hasn't developed to his full height, which troubles her a bit.-

Beheeyem: Do you need something, Littlest Elgyem?

Elgyem: -blushes at his title, embarrassed that he is still so small- Um... I wanted to ask you a question.

Beheeyem: Please, ask. I can help you.

Elgyem: Okay, well... -takes in a deep breath- I just wanted to know why all the Lampent and their kin seem to dislike us. And... and why they attack us and jeer at us and...

Beheeyem: -raises a blunted hand- Stop there. Littlest Elgyem, the Lampent jeer at us because they are afraid of us. They have never seen our kind before, and find our oblong heads and other aspects of our physiology to be strange. As a reaction to our strangeness, they react with jeers and dislike, hoping to keep us away from-

Elgyem: But they have big heads too...! -covers his mouth, shocked that he interrupted her. The Beheeyem makes no expression-

Beheeyem: Littlest Elgyem, I know how good you are at observation. You have seen so many similarities between us and them that it is difficult for you to understand why there is tension between us. But you must remember; we are not of this planet. We can never truly belong here.

-The Elgyem looks down at his body, then imagines the image of a Lampent in his mind, counting the similarities-

Elgyem: If we don't belong here... then why can't we go back? To where we came from?

-The Beheeyem sighs. She doesn't know how to explain this to an Elgyem born after they landed almost 50 years ago, but eventually, she finds the right words-

Beheeyem: Because there is nothing left to go back home to.

-The Elgyem somberly looks back down at his own features, and continues counting the similarities between him and the Lampent. Eldest Beheeyem floats out of the area, and Elgyem is left alone in the highest level of the Tower, the only light coming from the stars outside, and one, saddened purple glow of a female Lampent, hanging up on the ceiling.

She heard every word.-
