ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Minax's Castle

Minax: Heh...Heh...Shouldn't have used Hyper Beam.

-Minax Must Recharge!

-However, she does have enough energy to take an Oran Berry from out of her Hammerspace and nom it to restore health.

Minax's Throne Room

Dax: <She should teleport in here any time now...>

Dax prepares a Hydro Cannon for the very moment she appears. Kong likewise prepares a Hyper Beam.

Abigail: I'm just saying what I heard...

And letters are pretty informative if you can read them.

Rojos: I wouldn't think it was human script...

The kingdoms here are crazy. We've been running political errands all over the bay since we got here...

Minax's Throne Room

-Minax regains enough energy to teleport over to Chamber 2. Where the pre-perepared attacks are waiting right for her.

Minax: Oh bullo-

-She is hit by the attacks. Barely staying awake, she manages to spray a Hyper Potion onto herself, and teleports back to the main throne Room. Before Gamer and his Pokemon can launch an attack, she fires off a Rock Blast at Gamer. The force of the attack propells him from the tower, pit one of the windows, plumetting to the ground. Fortunately, he manages to grab onto a lower windowsill for a few moments, breaking the momentum from his fall, He then falls several feet, and takes minor damage from the small drop. The castle doors slam shut in front of him., preventing him from rejoining the fight. Also, the narrator apoligizes for this wall of text, and applauds you for taking the time to read it.

-Cackling to herself, Minax teleports over to Chamber 1....and is immediately bombarded into submission by the sheer force of the attacks.

Minax: Ugh....Fine, you win...for now. But....this isn't over...there's always....plan B!

-With that, Minax faints.

-Minax is dead defeated! All of her works shall die!

Kirk: YAY! WE WON!

Nonag: Wait, Does her works include this castle, Narrator?

-....Um, yeah. You;d better run.

Nonag: Or we could just telepot out with out badges.

-You could, but that;s much less dramatic-

-Nonag does so anyways, the jerk. After grabbing Minax, the rest of her friends follow.

Somewhere in Angela - Sometime Earlier Today

<Lardna: "... Wow. This is somehow even more boring than if it were all a bunch of subdivisions...">

<Pepper: "Well the lack of trees and oppressive heat certainly isn't helping...">

<??? #1: "I-I- I don't know about this one... C-Couldn't I just huff some of that Turbine or whatever it's called?">

<??? #2: "Oh calm down, you big wuss. It's a just a little pinprick. Heck, you might even like it after the first try.">

<??? #3: "Just hurry up and get their guards down! They look easy enough to pick off!">

<Lardna: "We can hear you, you know!">

<"... Excuse me- GACK!">

-And narrowly dodges a Will-O-Wisp-

<??? #2: "Go, go, go!">

-And a short yelp of pain can be heard... Followed by some aggressive hissing as a Serviper with a scarf bearing Schrodinger's Design bursts from some overgrown rubble-

<Raider!Seviper: "RAAAAAAGH!">

-And slashes wildly at us-

<Bottles: "ARGH!">

<Lardna: "Geez!">

-Getting critted-

<Moogle: "Urgh...">

-And slowly begins to pick himself up-

<Moogle: "Ehehe... Yes... Yes! Give it to me again, kupo! Again! Again! Make me feel alive!">

<Andre: "... Freak.">

<Raider!Seviper: *hiss* "GRRAAAGGGGH!">

<Moogle: "Over here! This way!">

-And is pursued by the Seviper-

<??? #1: "Normally, this is the part where a mon would tell you to cough up your stuff or your lives, but eh...">

-And a Banette materializes-

<Raider!Banette: "We can sort that out later...">

-And attempts Will-O-Wisp from behind cover-

<Pepper: "Oh, please.">

-And casts (a mundane) Safeguard-

<Pepper: "You think that we can't handle a couple status effects, you blighter?!">

<Raider!Banette: "Oh, I've got plenty more to work with here...">

-And runs up and thrusts an arm into Pepper, rapidly forcing its body into hers-

<Pepper: "AAAAAAH!">

<Raider!Banette: "Let's see your cute little light field protect you against th- ARGH!">

-And is bitten and ripped out of the Meganium by a rocket pupa-

<Andre: "Go stick your claws somewhere else, creep!">

<Raider!Banette: "Oh, you'll pa- ACK!">

-And is cut off by a point-blank hail of razor-sharp leaves-

<Raider!Banette: "O-Ow..." X_X >

<??? #3: "Dammit guys, I was hoping that I'd at least get the Mentats out before you started getting thrashed like that!">

<Pepper: "And STAY    OUT!   ">

-A short distance away, a certain Seviper is closing in on Moogle-

<Raider!Seviper: "YOU'RE MI- ">

-And is abruptly stopped dead in its tracks and begins to convulse and gag-

<Raider!Seviper: "Nng-Gu-GURK!">

-And has its eyes flash a solid red-

<Eir In Seviper: "Ooh... Tingly- OW!">

-And is attacked by a certain Drilbur-

<Bottles: "How do you like getting slashed, jerk?!">

<Eir in Seviper: "That hurts me too-!">

-And sees an Emboar bearing down on the possessed body-

<Eir In Seviper: "... Have fun with that one, buddy!">

-Which prompts a certain Duskull to hastily exit-

<Raider!Seviper: "Urk... Wh-What was-?">

-And sees an Emboar leaping up into the air to slam down on it with Earthquake... Giving all of a few seconds for the gravity of the situation to register in its drugged mind-

<Raider!Seviper: "Un-Ungh..." X_X >

<Eir: "... Glad I got out... Though the couple of seconds before were a nice treat...">

<Lardna: (*pant pant*) "Nasty little creeps, aren't they?">

-Unseen, from a vantage point-

<??? #3: "Lights out, you fat bi-">

-And a psionic wave emanates out... Which is hastily dodged by its intended target-

<Lardna: "WHOA!">

-And carries on into a glinting object... And is reflected into me-

<"AGGGGGH!">

-And I crumple up on the floor, out cold-

A Land West of Johto-B - A Parade Route - Sometime Earlier Today

<Archeops: "Mmm... Another procession carried out... And so smoothly this time too... I didn't think that that threat would actually wor-">

<??? #1: "NOW!">

-And a spray of small, sharp, telekinetically-propelled objects strikes the litter and the mons around it, a long shard striking the neck of a certain Archeops-

<Archeops: "ARGH!">

-Which begins to ooze a non-trivial amount of blood-

<Aerodactyl: "MY LIEGE!">

<Guard!Rampardos: "Where did that come from?!">

<Guard!Croconaw: "Over there! Over there!">

-And points off at the direction of the spray... Revealing a trio consisting of each stage of the Porygon line, which hastily disappear from sight-

<Guard!Rampardos: "GET THEM!">

<Archeops: "Gur-urgh... I need peace for a moment... Have me returned... To my quarters...">

<Aerodactyl: "Hang in there... Just hang in there... We'll be back there before you know it...">

-And the Archeops slumps over in the litter as the shard begins to glow-

Minax's Castle

Dax: <Remind me, why're we saving the mon that just tried to kill us?>

Kong: <Beats me. Less talk, more getting out of here alive.>

They get out of there alive.

Getting some sleep now. RC if needed. G'night.

Air-That-Used-To-Be-Minax's-Castle

Emma: <Woah, the castle's gone! Quickly, grab Minux!>

Potomi: <'''Ugh, I'm tired from Superpower. And I'm also falling too fast.>

Selene: <We should all be falling at the same speed.>

Crine: <I g-g-got her.> -grabs Minax, and they use their badges to escape-

Later on, a new mystery dungeon forms that happens to be a sand castle in the middle of a haunted forest. Its presence is never explained.

Shady Sands, Town Hall

Aradesh: <That was excellent work from all of you. Jarvis is expected to make a full recovery. Do I really want to know which one ripped the arm off of that Drapion?>

-Smirks-

<You outsiders are starting to grow on me, I must say.>

Coulomb: <Does this mean that Seth will quit staring at us all the time?>

Vault Dweller: -Has likely gotten the gist- Well, we did save his brother's life.

Tandi's Room

-The Teddiursa is currently looking up at the ceiling from her bed-

Tandi: <Like I told that sea monkey and pupa, life here is so friggin boring...>

-Suddenly, a lamp falls over-

<What was that?>

-Two mons hidden by the darkness start to approach Tandi-

???#1: <Little bear, you're going to be ours!>

Tandi: -Slashes at the first mon, drawing some blood- <Think again, shith-Zzzz...>

-And falls asleep due to the application of Sleep Powder-

???#1: -Nursing his wound- <Argh, little bi->

???#2: <Come on, let's get out of here before we get discovered, okay?>

???#1: <Pfft, fine.>

-And the two stuff the Teddiursa in a sack before running to the south, their scarves revealed to be displaying the visage of this universe's analogue to a Mongol warrior-

Angela-B - Earlier Today

<Lardna: "TRACER!">

-From behind some cover-

<??? #3: "Oh come on, what the hell was-?!">

-Which is promptly obliterated by a collective salvo of attacks, hurling a now-unconscious Slowbro and a box of what appear to be cough drops or candies from it-

<Pepper: "Rrgh... Is everyone alright?">

<Moogle: "Aww... But I need pain! It's so freeing!">

<Pepper: "I will take that as a 'no'...">

-And uses Aromatherapy while Bottles begins administering Sitrus berries-

<Moogle: "Hey! Hey! That's like the total opposite of-!">

-And has Berry forced down throat and HP climbing over the halfway mark-

-In a motor mouth pace-

<Moogle: "Oh so this is why Tracer didn't like Angela? Who are these guys? Oh! Oh! Are they soldiers? But they're not too organized if they're soldiers. Clearly this place needs an Imperial exploration! ... But Rick and everyone else are in Sinnoh...">

<Andre: "... I think I liked it better when he was going on about pain...">

-Nearing the unconscious form among us-

<Andre: "... Tracer?">

<(?): "Ungh...">

-And starts to dribble blood from the snout-

<Lardna: "That shell-tail did a number on him...">

<Pepper: "... We should probably find someplace safe for the night...">

<Moogle: "Oh come on, where's your sense of adventure? We're in an uncharted land where danger lurks at every corner! Explore a little!">

<Bottles: "... He might actually have a point...">

<Eir: "What, about getting into danger?">

<Bottles: "No, about this place. We know nothing about it... And if what just happened is any indicator, we might need to watch our step...">

<Lardna: "... And the mons who would know are...">

<Pepper: "... You can't seriously be suggesting that we take them along? Are you? I mean, surely you're more sensible than that!">

<Lardna: "We aren't going to take all of them... We're taking one of them...">

<Andre: "Get the one that you can push around the best!">

-Inspecting the three fallen Pokemon-

-In front of the Slowbro-

<Lardna: "... Yeah, I'll pass on the psychic nosebleeds, thanks... And I don't know if there's even rope in that bag...">

-While tending to my and the others' injuries-

<Pepper: "Well, I'm most certainly not taking that Banette along! What was it even trying to do to me?">

<Eir: "Oh that? It's just a possession...">

<Pepper: O_o "A possession?">

<Eir: "Yeah! I did one on that Seviper earlier!">

-And points at the unconscious bladed snake-

<Bottles: "Well, he can't possibly be that hard to keep in line... Just tie a knot in him!">

<Lardna: "It's a he? How can you tell?">

-Going up to the snake and spotting a now-broken syringe lodged into its hide-

<Moogle: "... What on earth is this thing?">

<Lardna: "... Looks like some sort of shot... Except that's some nasty-looking fluid... I thought that shots were clear...">

-Aside-

<Bottles: "Oh, and here's one of those shard things that Merle had... What happened to her? She still at PEFE?">

-And takes it-

<Eir: "And what's with this candy over here?">

<Lardna: "Take it, they don't need any treats. And get their scarves while you're at it. I can't believe that they got a guild to take 'em in if they're robbing mons on the side!">

-And Eir goes off to do just that as Lardna begins to tie a knot into the Seviper's body before slinging it over her shoulder-

<(?): "Ugh-Ugh... Nnhuh?">

<Pepper: "You're alright, Tracer... We're right here... We're right here... Just rest...">

-And the group sets off plus a knotted captive for shelter-

<(?): "Where am I...? And who's holding me?">

A Land West of Johto-B - Earlier Today - A Certain Archeops' Quarters

<Archeops(?): "Nngh...">

<Aerodactyl: "My liege, we're so sorry! Here we were focusing so much on one of the houses sending assassins... And we completely overlooked the other major possibility...">

-To a Heal Bell Dragonite-

<Aerodactyl: "... Is he going to be alright?">

<Heal Bell!Dragonite: "Why are you even here?! Go out and do your duty as a guard captain!">

<Aerodactyl: "I am doing my duty! Ensuring the welfare of this realm's leader! ... So... What's going on?">

<Heal Bell!Dragonite: "Hmmph... Looks like it's a close brush... That glass or whatever it was barely missed an artery.">

-Looking down at a bloodstained shard-

<Aerodactyl: "... Does anyone know why it was glowing?">

<Heal Bell!Dragonite: "What am I, a geologist? And if you truly wanted the Emperor to get better faster, you'd leave him be to rest!">

<Aerodactyl: "Right! I knew that!">

Nuzleaf Camp, far west of Treasure Town

A Nuzleaf approaches his master, a Shiftry.

Nuzleaf < Master, Team Amaze is causing a bit of trouble. They keep resisting the guards >

Shiftry < So what! This plan is a masterpiece! Kidnapping citizens and hostaging them off is brilliant, but taking out the only team who can rescue them as well? It's genius! >

Nuzleaf < Master, why did you just explain our entire plan? Anyway, that's not the only thing I wanted to say. When we captured Team Amaze, well, a Slakoth was able to follow us, and he took the Abra we haddock kidnapped. They might be able to stop us . . . sorry sir >

Shiftry < Capture them and bring them to me, now! No excuses! >

Nuzleaf < Yes sir! Capture squad move out! >

- Is asleep -

Treasure Town

-Every and his mons are asleep, but not heavily so, and can be easily woken up when it's time to go-

Golden Forest

Eskay and co. are fast asleep.

Treasure Town

-Marmalade and Xakk are talking-

Marmalade: <So, you think this will be interesting?>

Xakk: <Of course not. But at least there should be some helpless mons to destroy.>

-Marmalade snickers- <You have the weirdest taste in jokes...>

Xakk: <Uh-huh, let's go with that.>

The Nuzleaf slowly descend on treasure town, hiding in strategic locations around the town, waiting for there mark to reveal himself.

Nuzleaf 1 < You remember what the boss said, right? >

Nuzleaf 2 < Don't let the mark escape, right? >

Nuzleaf 3 < I think he means the other thing >

Nuzleaf 1 < Exactly. He said that if we don't see this guy soon, we have to burn down the Audino Clinic to lure him out >

The group wait outside the clinic, hiding behind an adjacent house, preparing for what there mission might require them to do.

Shady Sands, PMD-B

-Currently, we're all sleeping in one of the few spaces that could be spared for us-

Muddy: <Zzz....Zzz...>

<Zzz...Zzz...>

Cobalt: -Comes out of sleep mode upon sensing distress-

Vault Dweller: Zzz....Pat...Zzz...

Artemia: -Starts bouncing on my stomach- <Tagg, Tagg wake up!>

-Groggily-

<What is it Artemia?>

Artemia: <Tandi's gone!>

<Gone, what do you mean gone?>

Seth: -Bursts into our room, waking everyone else up- <My gi-I mean Tandi's gone!>

Draca: -Annoyed- <This had better be for real and not a false alarm.>

Muddy: -Gives Seth a weird look- <Your...girl? She seems a bit young for you anyway, not that we mons put premiums on such things.>

Seth: <We were together...long while ago, but we broke up.>

Coulomb: -Says nothing, but wonders how Sunny would likely ship that-

<Okay then, do you have any idea who did take her away?>

Seth: <It was those damn Khans. Bunch of crummy raider bastards.>

<Khans...that's an interesting name. Couldn't possibly get where they got that from.>

Seth: <The Khans and us go way back...all the way to when we all used to inhabit the same Vault.>

Bohr: <There's more to this story isn't there?>

Seth: <Well, Vault 15 was filled with people and Pokemon with diverse ideologies and cultures, not to mention the place was constantly overcrowded. Four groups left from that Vault, three became the major raider gangs around here, the Khans, Jackals, and Vipers. The fourth founded Shady Sands. Those Khans pretend to be some group from the ancient past, but like we both know they're just some raider scum.>

Vault Dweller: Wait a sec, why didn't you go out to rescue her?

Seth: <I can't, I have to stay here and make sure they don't try to attack again, but you guys don't have that problem do you?>

<Well, that is true. Guys, let's go.>

-And with that we go...or would've if I didn't decide to ask for directions-

<Alright Seth, where's their main base?>

Seth: <To the southeast of here, in some open house surrounded with tents that you can't miss.>

<Got it.>

-And then we leave for real-

Now Leaving Shady Sands - Angela-B

<Bozaka: "Ooh... We're headed off to a fight..." :3>

<Gorga: "Did you get dropped when you were young? Because I'm pretty sure that's not normal...">

-wakes up, yawns, and stretches-

The Nuzleaf snuck around the back of the Clinic. Joe hadn't showed up, so their plan had to be executed. This particular Nuzleaf didn't like the plan much. As a Nuzleaf, fire wasn't one of his favourite things. Neither was the gang for that matter. He had only joined for the dental scheme.

He had a job to do though and he was resigned to if. Too far to go back now he thought. He had to light the match, and through it onto the straw roof of the clinic. Althogh maybe, he should just wait a few more minutes, incase the Slakoth showed up . . .

Somewhere in Angela-B - After a Rather Tense Night

-The group is by and large recuperated from yesterday's ordeal... With 2 exceptions...-

<(?): "Nngh... Miserable vermin...">

<Raider!Seviper: "Argh... O-Ow...">

-Okay, make that one exception-

<Raider!Seviper: "Wh-What hit me- Huh?">

-And notices that its body is tied in a rather large and bulky knot-

<Raider!Seviper: "Oh no... Come on, think... What did mom say about getting out of knots...?">

<Lardna: "Oh, you're up...">

<Raider!Seviper: "H-Huh? Who are you?">

<Bottles: "... The mons that you slashed at for no good reason?">

<Raider!Seviper: "What? I don't remember that... I mean, I know we were about to rob someone- Wait-">

-And looks around-

<Raider!Seviper: "Where are the other-">

<Andre: "Somewhere in a field. One of you jerks is plenty for us!">

-Shrinking back and making a feeble attempt to backpedal-

<Raider!Seviper: "Wh-What are you gonna do to me?">

<Lardna: "We're going to ask you a few questions... And you're going to answer them.">

- Wakes up -

-Straw, Helryx, Eldur, and AU!Salem have gone to the Spinda cafe, with Eldur's Bellossom nurse's permission-

<Hey there!>

<Oh, hi.>
