ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Ice Path

Should we break it out?

Aurora:<I don't know if we can safely break it while we're in here.>

Magellan:<Nonsense. I can use Dragonbreath on it.>

-Magellan uses Dragonbreath on the ice block, and it starts to melt. The Cofagrigus's head begins to unfreeze-

Cofagrigus:-starts to wake up- <Huh? What's going on? And Why am I frozen?>

Aurora:<Relax, you've been frozen for a long time. We're melting the ice now.>

Cofagrigus:<So who are you guys?>

-Aurora introduces everyone-

Cofagrigus:<I see. So, how long have I been frozen?>

Crescent:<When were you last awake?>

Cofagrigus:<...1912.>

Envy:<...Well, we certainly have some explaining to do...>

So, you have a name Cofagrigus?

Cofagrigus:<Iron Maiden. Hey, how come you understand me?>

I've been through a lot. Understanding Monese is just one of its side effects.

Iron Maiden:<I see...>

-bends down to gently pet Candida, before straightening up and gathering my things, to leave-

-Salamence hugs Candida-

The Glow- Level Four

Draca: <So it turns mons into humans, what else?>

ZAX: When inoculated into an individual with significant genetic damage, such as through radiation, it will cause the body's systems to suffer massive overhauling, leading to organ failure and death. In a genetically viable individual, it re-writes portions of DNA, causing accelerated mutation, usually leading to recursive growth due to the FEV's own patterns.This recursive growth leads to an increase in muscle and brain mass, but is often accompanied by disfigurement and damage to existing neural patterns, causing loss of memory.

Vault Dweller: So it makes you bigger and stronger, but you can lose yourself as a result. What kind of long term side-effects does this thing have?

ZAX: Well, the regenerative powers of the virus would grant the subject negligible senescence, as apoptosis would be offset by increased cell growth.

Draca: <Negligible senescence?>

<Biological immortality, not unlike Umbra and Lina.>

Ana: -Eyes widening- <Cool.>

ZAX: Additionally, as the gametes of the reproductive system consist of haploid cells using split DNA, they could be perceived as "damage" by FEV, which would repair them, rendering the subject sterile.

Muddy: <So much for the future stage of evolution then.>

-plumps gets on wolfs shoulder-

Plumps: :)

Near Nonag, Geist, and Kirk

- A familiar man is sitting on a throne nearby... but with a distinctly feudal outfit.-

???: Hmmm? More servants? But you three are unauthorized, so you might as well be spies or assassins from elsewhere in Ransei...

-He grins evilly-

Oh well, Orochi needs a snack anyways.

-A 8-headed Hydregion appears near the three-

Orochi:    GRAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!

<Zoltan: "Goodbye!">

<Cecil: "Yeah! Have fun at home!" :3>

<Teala: "Take care out there, Maekrite.">

-And gives a parting hug-

Angela-B

<Pepper: "Why on earth was this even made? What possible use was it even meant to have?!">

PEFE

-the Pansage and Panpour are playing around in the room that once held a computer, when PEFE!Every returns-

PEFE!Every: .....I....

???

All three: <AHHHHHHHH>

-Nonag used Protect!-

-Kirk used Protect!-

-Geist used Protect!-

Nonag: <Who the hell are you? We're not spies or assasins!>

Geist: <Yeah! If we were trying to kill you, we would have brought weapons and stuff. And not spies! We don;t have stylish enough outfits for that!>

Nonag: <You're not helping.>

-Kirk is desperately shaking the shard, in an attempt to get it to work.

- Makes sure I have everything I need with me -

Candida:

- Presumably heads over to Jubilife along with Wolf, while Candida falls asleep in my arms while I carry her -

Candida: (chewing on one of her flippers in her sleep)

Last post for tonight.

-that is indeed what we are doing-

Good night, DS! Have dreams of cute baby Seels!

Pewter City, last night

Prolio: Yeah. You too?

Vermillion City, now

Prolio has Flown to Vermillion to see about getting a trip to the Trainer Tower.

Clerk: I'm sorry, but in order to get a trip to the Sevii Islands, you have to have all reight Kanto Gym Badges, for your safety. ESPECIALLY if you want to get near Quest Island.

Prolio: ...fine. Thank you for your time.

Spinda's Cafe

Emma: <Anything new, Wynaut?>

Wynaut: <Yes, actually. One of our exploration teams has found a new dungeon! They call it, "Tiny Meadow.">

Wobbuffet: <That's right!>

Crine: <Sh-sh-should we go?>

Selene: <Fine by me.>

Ironmonger: <Yeah!>

Box

Salamence: <Cute baby seal~!>

Slam: -yawn- <What's a seal?>

Salamence: <I said Seel!>

Slam: <...Oh.>

Near Nonag, Geist, and Kirk

???: Who am I? I'm the Ghost Lord, and I expect you to bow down to me or wind up as pet food. Your choice~

Orochi: -Jabs his heads angrily against the Protect barriers-

Ice Path

-After Iron Maiden completely melts, Magellan fills her in on what has happened in the last 100 years as they exit the cave-

Magellan:<And, here we are. 2012.>

Iron Maiden:<Whoa...>

Envy:<You're not alone there, Mai—Can I call you that? Anyway, I had to catch up on the few years that I missed while being dead.>

Iron Maiden:<You can call me Mai, sure. And you were dead? Why are you a Shedinja then?>

Envy:<It's a long story...>

Box

Slam: <You're really> -yawn- <Weird...>

Salamence: <Yeah, well you're boring.>

Slam: <Am> -yawn- <Not...>

Salamence: <You are...what happened to you, anyway?>

Slam: <Hmm?>

Salamence: <You actually respond when I talk! And not like three weeks later, or something weird like that.>

Slam: <Carbos binge...> -yawns again, falls asleep-

Hoenn Desert

It's been hours.

The Trapinch left.

Diane was all alone.

The sandstorm wasn't faltering.

The sun was setting behind the massive cloud of dust.

She pulls herself to her feet, and starts searching for a Sandshrew despite the conditions. She only had about fifteen minutes left to look.

Celadon

-Every is once again looking around-

???

Geist: <So, in other words, you want us to submit, Kneel Before Zod, ecetera. Nope, not happening, buddy.>

Kirk: <Geist, please don't antagonize the human with a eight headed dragon at his beck and call?!>

Nonag: <You have no idea how many small time Warlords back home have tried to make us sumbit to their rule. The Old World firearms and explosives really come in handy then. Kirk, hurry up before Protect wears off! >

-As luck would have it, the shard finally kicks in at the exact moment the group's shields run out, and the vanish right as Orochi attempts to nom them.-

Where Nonag, Geist, and Kirk were

Ghost Lord: ...What just happened here? Damn mons ran away... Insubordinate fools.

Orochi:    Curses! Those maiden sacrifices only go so far in filling my gullet...   

Ghost Lord: -waves his hand dismissively- Go eat a few serfs or something, then.

Orochi:    Gladly.    -leaves-

PEFE

...Guys, what happened?

Panpour: -shrugs-

Pansage: -dances-

-sigh-

Almer-B - Hoenn Sector - Alley

-The two voices are revealed to be that of a Bayleef and a Druddigon-

<Spy!Bayleef: *pant pant* "Well hey, we lost them, right?">

<Spy!Druddigon: "Argh! This isn't the sort of work I was cut out for! My specialty is mingling in crowds, not skulking around in places with guards actively combing for you!">

<Spy!Bayleef: "Eh, what did you mean?">

<Spy!Druddigon: "I used to keep tabs on the nobles for the Emperor... And then, that ingrate bird writes up a letter to me in his Torchic scratch saying that I'm reassigned here to this fetid-">

-And Umbra and company just stare at the two-

<Spy!Druddigon: "Er...">

<Spy!Bayleef: ._.; "H-How much of that did you hear?">

PEFE

-PEFE!Every leaves his module, in search of his computer-

Ecruteak-B

Matt: Well, the festival is over now, I guess... *looks around* ...and my way out is gone. Crud. There had better be some other people left here...

Hoenn Desert

The sun goes down, and the sandstorm is still going stron. And so is Diane, who has the final tracker in hand.

She isn't able to see a rock sticking out of the ground, and trips.

Upon hitting the ground, her hand falls on a Pokemon's rough back. A Sandshrew.

She grins, having finished the final portion of the test.

She gets up, then blindly searches for a boulder to hide behind.

She falls asleep behind it, worn out by what would've been a simple task had one variable changed.
