ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-likewise fast asleep, and is dreaming about cuddling Mezzo-

Psyche stands up and limps off. ~I... I'm sorry, but I need a moment.~

-sleeping on ground-

Rim:<... So what happened while I was gone? :/>

Winner's Path

Eskay gets up and walks over to her

Eskay: ~What's wrong? I'm really worried about you...~

~I just think that I'm not... I'm not worthy. Of you, of my other friends, of my mons. Of this world that has been far too forgiving of me...~

-Is busy trying to get a signal on my phone. It's not really working-

-Hm...-

-Walks out of sight from the group a little-

Winner's Path

Eskay: ~Please stop saying that... It hurts to see you putting yourself down like you are now... You deserve all of us. Whether you think you do or not, you deserve all of us...~

He kisses her

Psyche looks up at him with tears in her eyes. ~NO! I'm not worth it! I can't handle this anymore. I haven't done anything to deserve any of this!~ She limps off into the woods.

Karma: ~What was that about?~

Winner's Path

Eskay continues following her.

Eskay: ~Psyche, please... I refuse to let you go on thinking you're undeserving. You can't convince me otherwise. Please, just... don't do this... I can't stand to see you like this...~

He wipes a tear out of his eye

Eskay: ~At least... give yourself a chance to find a way to return the favours we've done...~

Psyche looks at him. ~WHY? Why am I worthy of you? Why am I not undeserving? Tell me! I hurt people. I've hurt you! A lot!~

-Caliburn has fallen asleep on the cliff-

-Meanwhile, a Munchlax trips on a rock, rolling right into Caliburn, throwing him off the cliff, and onto whoever is below him-

Winner's Path

Eskay: ~You're deserving... because you've already been put through too much pain...~

He hugs her

Eskay: ~And you've never hurt me. You haven't hurt anyone. Trip doesn't count. I promise you... you have nothing to be guilty of...~

Elsewhere on Winner's Path

Skye happened to be the one at the bottom of the cliff.

Skye: <Oof! ...Hi, Caliburn...>

<Pepper: "Oh? What's going on?">

<Andre: "... Why do you want me to know anyways? You'd be able to handle it better without the useless load...">

Striaton City

-After a long time of discussion, the system is fixed. Neither Prolio nor his narrator ever figure out what was wrong with it-

Amanita: Okay, you should be able to access your PC now. Good luck on your journey! Oh, but before you leave.... -hands him a letter-

The letter is addressed to Bill. It also says, "Don't even think of opening it, Prolio. I will know."

Sealed Ruins, this morning

Spirtomb: <Okay, you had your night's sleep. Can we please resume your dooms?>

Emma: <Oh, certainly.>

-has a munchlax sitting on my belly-

Zzzzzz...

Psyche sighs. ~You're right... But I still can't help but feel guilty. There's a lot of ways you can abuse telepathy... And I've broken a lot of them. The experts in Nimbasa have told me that sociopathy runs in telepaths because they get the thoughts and the manipulative pull it gives them... but none of the emotions. And because they pick up less on the non-verbal cues that other people give off, they kinda grow distant from humans as a result... That's why I was secluded in the forest. But I'm getting better. I've never known humans that actually cared for me before. It's nice... But I'm not used to it yet.~

Angela-B

<Well, it would appear our new mission would be to find out where those Super Mutants are being created and stop it. It's either we go up against them or find out where that Master guy is and decapitate their leadership first.>

Draca: <I say we go and bust up their production facility.>

Helios: -Appears to have no opinion one way or the other-

Coulomb: <But we don't even know where it is.>

Draca: <What do you mean, going by what Harold said we-

Cobalt: <Perhaps it would be best for us to head over to the Hub and plan our next course of action there.>

The Hub, PMD-B

-A Castform wearing a scarf with this symbol◊ is thrown inside a cage-

Thug!Scrafty: <And stay in there. <Little Brotherhood punk...>

Castform: -Sinks to the bottom of the cell- <Now what do I do...>

Almer-B - A Few Hours After Ponzi and Demeros' Entry Into Low Earth Orbit

-Three rather roughed-up looking guard mons are slowly limping out of a clinic-

<Guard!Samurott: "A-Argh... Not my finest hour there... I hope that they find my keratin blades... Those take forever to grow back!">

<Guard!Floatzel: "U-Ugh... If I wet myself back there, I wasn't scared! It was because I was getting frickin' beaten by 50 mons!">

<Guard!Empoleon: "Uck... Oh so that's your-">

-And a number of ghost-mons phase out of the walkway while others climb up from the edge-

<Sari: "Ugh... Swamps... Suck.">

<Lumos: "You're preaching to the choir here.">

-Panicking and hastily taking shelter behind the two other guard mons... Running over the Floatzel in the process-

<Guard!Empoleon: "ACK! L-Leave me a-alone!">

<Guard!Floatzel: "AUGH! My arm!">

<Guard!Samurott: "What's this about? Who are these mons?">

<Umbra: "Oh, it's you... Look, can we just be left alone? We kinda weren't expecting to be jumped while following your queen's orders!">

<Guard!Empoleon: "Th-The-? Pl-Please don't t-tell her! I-I- I d-didn't-!">

-And devolves into incoherent whimpering-

<Guard!Samurott: "Uh... I'm not sure what you've been up to, but we won't get in your way...">

-Weakly-

<Guard!Floatzel: @_@ "I am not a doormat here!">

<Lina: "Good... Let's get going...">

The Hub - Angela-B

-The Castform has a fleeting solace-

<Ponzi + Demeros: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-">

-Oh wait, solace requires being close by and comforting, so scratch that one-

Vault 13 - Angela-B

<Pepper: "Those mons... They're being created?">

<Bottles: "By what?">

<Moogle: "Let's go and smash up the facility first! ... Whatever it is... We can survey more land that way!">

-Annoyed-

<(?): "Mmm hmm mrr hrr hrrm!">

Psyche sighs and hugs Eskay. She continues thinking about it though... ~All right... Well, we probably better get some sleep. Night...~

Sky

-Prolio has withdrawn his special Flying type and is now Flying to Kanto-

Prolio: You're sure you can make it all the way to Kanto?

Pidgeot: <I'll be fine. You raised me stronger than that.>

Prolio: We've had some good times, haven't we?

Pidgeot: <Wait, since when can you understand me?>

Prolio: Oh, did I not explain how I got to Unova in the first place?

Pidgeot: <Nope.>

Prolio: Well...

Boss: Spiritomb

Crine: <I d-d-don't know why you're trying to kill us, but you're going to r-r-regret it!>

Potomi: <We'll stomp you into next week!>

Muddy: -To Pepper- <Those things didn't strike me as being naturally made. Seriously, those straps man. >_>>

Bohr: <Not to mention they were all green, and not the shiny kind either.>

<I'm not sure if trying to go up and blow up their creation facilities is the best idea when we barely know anything about them besides the fact that they're looking for humans. They're possibly made, but we don't even know how they're made. Not to mention that area is most likely heavily guarded.>

Muddy: <Well that, and the fact that those Children of the Cathedral freaks left around the same time we defeated those Super Mutants according to what some of those ghouls said.>

<There's some sort of connection between the two, I know it.>

Pica: <Does it matter, let's just go and kick their butts!>

Angela-B

<Andre: "...">

-And just looks off blankly-

<Lardna: "'Children of the Cathederal'?">

<Maurice: "Wait... They have anything to do with those sketchy medics in the Boneyard?">

<Pepper: "And now that you mention it... Gabriel did mention rumors of someone from the south hunting humans... Do you think they're connected?">

Winner's Path

Eskay walks with Psyche back to the main group. They both fall asleep soon after.

Diane, however, is still awake, and looking at the armband, thinking...

Almer - Sea Kingdom Sector

<Umbra: "OK... So how DO we calm this island down?" :/>

<Peeko(?): "Hey, I just deliver stuff. I'm not a diplomat here!">

<Lumos: "None of us are, really...">

<Chrome: "So we'll have to be crafty.">

<Lina: "Not having anything destroyed for a while would be a good start... But how would we make that happen? I mean, with guards like those, who needs a warzone?">

<Peeko(?): "Border dispute. It's a border dispute.">

<Gravemind: "Well, we can't scare them off... We're vastly outnumbered.">

<Styx: "Scare them off, no... Appeal to their interests, maybe.">

<Bucky: "How would we do THAT? there's a lot of peoplemons to make happy...">

<Grif: "Who says make them happy? I say screw with them a bit!">

<Peeko(?): "... I'm not sure if I like where this is going, but go on...">

<Sari: "I think Grif has the right idea... But how?">

<Umbra: "Well, there's a lot of things peoplemons fear and respect... Leaders... Deities... If we could take advantage of that some-"

<Peeko(?): "Oh, well if we were going to do that, that's easy! Or at least if I had my cards, it would be... Lord Banyan is already rather fearsome... Even if I'd never hear the end of it afterwards from the Great One.">

-Getting an evil Banette grin-

<Umbra:] "Oh really now?">

<Peeko(?): "I'd just call him up for a few minutes, let him explain that the smoke irritated him and talk dessert afterw- ... Why are you looking like that?">

-Thinking-

<Lumos: "I haven't seen a look on his face like that in a LONG time..." .++.;>

<Umbra: "... Gino? Do you think you could fetch Reynard?" >:3>

<Gino: "And his buddy with the greasy bangs, nyan? Sure, nyan!">

<Umbra: "Good. I have some ideas for those Zoroark...">

<Peeko(?): "Who? And what is this FOR?" ._.>

-Channeling his inner Montgomery Burns and twiddling his fingers sinisterly-

<Umbra: "As for what I'm up to... You'll see, fellow priest." >:3>

<Gino: "No really, what are you up to, nyan? I need to have some idea of what to tell Reynard and his friend.">

<Umbra: "Hmm... I guess a little exposition couldn't hurt...">

-And proceeds to give an offscreen debrief-
