ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

- Gets up -

<Guess I should look for my Pokemon... Where do we begin?>

Swindle: <How about the Wigglytuff guild or the Spinda cafe?>

<... I guess.>

Swindle: <We could also check the beach.>

<Hmm... I wouldn't be surprised if some of my Pokemon are there.>

Swindle: <So, should we go check it out, then?>

<I suppose.>

- Decides to check on the beach -

Ecruteak

Skye: <I'm doing well... you?>

She decides to watch the sunrise with him.

Caliburn:<I've been doing pretty good. I'm ready for this festival to begin.> -Looks back out at the sunrise, the sun almost fully risen- <It's a really nice sunrise, isn't it.>

Ecruteak

Skye: <Yeah... Ecruteak has always had beautiful sunrises and sunsets...>

-The sun fully rises over Ecruteak-

Caliburn:<That was nice. I'm glad I got to watch it with somemon. It's always better when you're with somemon else.>

The beach

- Silvetmist and Wings are at the beach, having found a message in a bottle that washed up on shore -

Wings: (having difficulty opening the bottle with his feet) <Ugh... I have Super-Strength, so how difficult can this be?>

Silvermist: (swimming around nearby) <Shame neither of us have hands, that would probably have made things easier.>

Wings: <Can't we just break the bottle?>

Silvermist: <But what if we need an empty bottle later? You never know.>

- Swindle and I come across the two -

<Wings! Silvermist!>

Silvermist: <Oh, DS!>

Wings: (smiles) <Good to see you.> (shows the bottle) <Think you can open this? Silvermist wanted to know what the message inside it is.>

<Oh, sure.>

- I use my psychic powers to pick up and open the bottle, and then taking the message out -

Silvermist: <Yay!>

Wings: <So, what does the message say?>

<Let's see...>

- Starts reading it -

Ecruteak

Skye: <Yeah, it is...>

-Caliburn looks over at Skye, seeing the sunshine reflect off her metal coat-

Caliburn:Wow...she looks beautiful like that.

-Caliburn pauses in his thoughts-

Caliburn:Could it be that I...no, it wouldn't work out, she probably has a mate already, or already likes somemon else...

-Caliburn does his best to try not to show what he's thinking-

Ecruteak

Skye can't tell what Caliburn is thinking, but she can tell he's thinking about something.

Skye: <...You all right? You're looking kind of... distant...>

Caliburn:<I do? Oh, sorry, I was just thinking about something.>

- Finishing reading the note -

<Oh, dear. It's from Mira. It seems she and Artemis have gotten themselves into some trouble.>

Swindle: <Oh?>

Silvermist: <What kind of trouble?>

Wings: <Whatever it is, I'm betting Artemis was the one who got them into it.>

Labyrinth Cave

- Artemis and Mira seem to be lost -

Mira: <Seeing as we do not have many food items left, it is probably best to stay in this spot while we wait for someone to rescue us.>

Artemis: (staring blankly into space)

Mira: <... Artemis? Are you okay?> (waves her hand in front of Artemis' face) <... Did you eat those X-Eye seeds we found earlier?>

Artemis: (staring at Mira in awe) <Ooh, talking flowers...>

Mira: <... I will take that as a "yes".>

-Jenna was patrolling outside of town. A lot of travellers and young trainers had reported seeing some strange beasts in the forest. She didnt know what it was but it was her job to find out. Joe was out working double to cover her half of town. Eventually, she reached a small pond in a densely wooded area-

Yet again, don't get too excited. I'm just giving Musik something to do.

Outskirts of Goldenrod, near Jenna

??? 1: OK, I think the swelling has died down...

??? 2: Good, smoke-mane. Now we can get back to business...

??? 3: Ooh, I hear something cool! I wanna go see!

??? 1: Woah, wait!

- Crown!Suicune jumps out of the trees and in front of Jenna, followed by the other two.-

Crown!Entei: Oh dear, I believe we've been spotted...

Crown!Suicune: Greetings, puny human!

Crown!Raikou: -thinking- Ooh, a sucker...

-Jenna turns around to find three... Pokemon?-

Jenna: You... Your speaking english? How is that... Oh my god Joe was right...

Goldenrod Outskirts

Crown!Entei: Well, we legendaries aren't limited to Monese like most normal mons... And it's "Oh my Arceus", dear.

Crown!Suicune: Do you like birdies, miss? My favorite is Torchic!

Crown!Raikou: Hey lady... you wanna see something cool?

Jenna: Right, sorry about the God thing, my Dad was in some weird cult, guess it rubbed off on me. You know, you guys sound like characters from a childrens cartoon, right?

Goldenrod Outskirts

Crown!Entei: We get that a lot, for some strange reason...

Crown!Suicune: "God" cultists? Like in "Tales From Urth"?! I KNEW THEY WERE REAL!

Crown!Raikou: Again, do you wanna see something cool?

Jenna: I dunno about that, er, Raikou? You dont look very trustworthy...

Cerulean City

"Saaa, that was tough."

Rex sighed as she dusted off her body. She was glad Usa-chan and her swapped traveling routes. Going along he underground path through Mount Moon was loads easier. She grinned and peaked out from under her hood as the length of her hood's tail swayed. Zap padded up behind her, brushing sweat off his brow.

"We should come visit uncle Suana again with some treats from Celadon, right Zap?"

Zap: (Hai! But are you really sure about Chary? She doesn't really seem to be ... capable of doing this.)

He crossed his arms over his chest as he hopped along. Rex gave a thumbs up and pulled out her pokegear, flipping the Sinnoh devised device she scrolled through her apps tentatively. She grinned and tapped the screen, pulling up some information. She looked to Zap and offered a thumbs up. Zap sighed at his partner, but he supposed it was fine.

"It seems Usa-chan got the goods to Celadon so we can spend some time at the Nursery."

The hoodie garbed rapscallion perked her ears and turned to face the Hydreigon.

"Chary, come on we're gunna take a break and get a snack."

Sort of hoping she was not mad about the whole tunnel run. They had gotten far and out. From what little the group could understand from uncle Suana and the Idohori triplets was that the underground excavations in Celadon were done and all they needed to do was connect the tunnels, unifying the Generation.

The Idohori triplets promised to meet them in three days to take them to Celadon via the underground routes. Uncle Suana gave Rex what appeared to be some sort of old stone tablet, no bigger than the pokegear, to use in the passage in the Cerulean Cave.

Rex winked at Zap.

"We'll have to do well to avoid the Cerulean Police Department after last year's fiasco..." She lowered her head and groaned. "How was I to know that the house had been burgled before. He shouldn't have such pretty things in there! Shiny rocks..."

Zap: (We should get to the pokemon center first to sign in if we want a place to sleep tonight.)

The Raichu calmly noted. Rex nodded in agreement and made her way toward the pokemon center, the stone safely tucked away in her bag.

Celadon

The doors burst open from the Celadon hotel. Usa and his Nidoran, Nino, bound off, waving to the hotel owner.

"Thanks oba-san! We'll be back soon!"

He chuckled as he smiled with those adorable rabbit-like front teeth of his. Nino chuffed out and bounced after his master. Usa carried a small box and Nino pulled another both with his harness. Weaving in and between the streets and back allies of Celadon the pair arrived at the game corner. Usa grunted as he pushed in he door with his shoulder and stepped in.

it was like stepping into a Fairy Tale. The quite murmurs of the back alley erupted into the ringing and clamor of falling game coins and buzzing prize machines! Nino and Usa's eyes sparkled with glee.

"Ouuaaah! It's so much cooler than Gen-chan described." The bunny-boy squeaked and dashed off to the front desks. "Hellooo!" He glanced around with his squint eyes before someone came to the window. It was a young woman, dolled up to look like a Clefairy.

She bowed her head in welcome.

"Irashaimase young master, can we help you?" She smiled brightly, causing Usa-chan to blush slightly.

The young man reached into his pocket and pulled out a business card, offering it to her. She accepted the card and looked over it, scrutiny coming over ehr features. She looked to usa who chuckled.

"I may look young but I can assure you I am the best at what I do. Company sent me because these sort of settings are best for me. They siad you had Ratrata chewing through the walls here right?"

She hesitated but nodded. "H-hai, at least we believe they are Rattata nests...."

"Say no more," Usa-chan assured. "This is why I am here! Come on Nino." The boy bowed his head and made his way to the back of the facility into the maintenance hall. When Nino slipped in Usa whistled.

Nino released himself from the harness leads and kicked the door closed. The Nidoran still wore his silk scarf around his neck as wel las the working harness. The room was dark, dimly lit by the large machines that kept the game hall up and active 24/7. The large electronic panels that controlled the majority of the security system were pulled back, as if a secret bookcase was opening. A pair of glowing eyes peered out at the boy.

"Minna~!" He called with a smirk. From the darkness stepped two large pokemon.

The first to step out was a averaged sized Nidorino with a collar. From the collar hung a Poison Barb. After stalked a massive Nidoking wearing a Black Belt around his waist. The Nidoking snarled out and stalked over toward the young man. usa looked behind them to the tunnel.

"That's a good Job Nino." He looked to the Nidoking with a smirk. "Nino the First...." The Nidoking held his head proudly and brushed his thumb across his nose.

Usa was well known in their group. His family raised the Ninoran species from select specimens. The young Nidoran, who currently nuzzled up to his big brother, were fifth Generation Nidoran of Usa's family. Nino the First was owned by his grandfather and now belonged to him. The old poison spined brute was well trained and has worked with the family since he was first caught. His beloved wife, Nina, belonged to Usa's older sister.

"We'll just tunnel a little deeper and place the Divider. After we hook it up, we can go meet up with Rexy-chan."

The brute grunted and turned to head back into the tunnel followed by his grandchildren: Nino the Fifth and Goku.

Ecruteak B, some time after the last post for it.

-Caliburn is enjoying some of the nearby festivities around the area, occasionally looking at Skye-

Goldenrod Outskirts

Crown!Raikou: Oh, I'm totally trustworthy. Now...

-pulls out a bunch of painted silver feathers-

These Silver Wings can be yours for a low, low price!

- Is heading towards Labyrinth Cave in order to rescue Artemis and Mira -

<Seeing as the two are pretty powerful, I'm surprised they managed to get trapped in a fairly low level dungeon like that.>

Swindle: <Then again, considering that large Pokemon can get stuck in dungeons full of cute little Pokemon that are weak to their type...>

<... Good point.>

Swindle: (to Wings and Silvermist, who are following along) <So, you two are coming along as well?>

Silvermist: (using her Aqua Ring to "swim" after her) <Sure!>

Wings: <We don't really have anything better to do right now, anyways.>

Nixfest 2614

Skye is also doing stuff. She and Caliburn locked eyes at one point for a few seconds, but only once.

Everyone else who was asleep is now awake and doing festival stuff as well. Spectrum is looking around to try and meet the other two legendary beasts.

Morendo family residence

-Mezzo and Fortis are still asleep-

Vincent: Oh dear. I hope little Fortissimo hasn't caught on to her sister's sleeping habits.

Mia: Don't worry, dear. If we need to, we can play a song to wake them up!

Vincent: An excellent idea!

Dream World

-however, Mezzo and Fortis are awake in another place-

Fortis: <Yaaay! I'm a bird again!>

<Yeah, this is the Dream World. You can only enter here if you're a Pokémon, I think. Now, where's that starship...>

Cerulean City

Charybdis: <Hmph. It's about time.> -follows Rex and Zap-

-is awake, and packed, ready to go; is just looking for Mezzo's parents-
