ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Arcus' outfit changes back to normal-

I have to admit, that did look pretty cute.

-Chuckle-

Anyone else?

S-Shut up...

Sea Kingdom Trading Post - Golrod - Johto-B

-A certain party are gathered together for lodging, preparing to search for a fare to Alto Mare in the morning, a certain young but no-longer-so-small Aerodactyl is ferrying around a young Zorua assuming the form of one of the local mons-

<Dewott!Cecil: "Whoa! Higher! Higher!">

<Zoltan: "But if I go too high, Nadia will be cranky at me again!">

-On the ground-

<Rising Star: "Heh... They really are something, aren't they?">

<Kat: "Yeah... The world seems so much more mystifying when you're young and not as versed in lore... It makes everything so exciting...">

<Rising Star: "Hmm hmm... I don't know...">

-Clasping Kat's free hand-

<Rising Star: "I've always found just being able to do things with others to do a pretty good job at filling the gap...">

<Kat: ^///^ "Er... Ehehe... But come on, surely you're old enough to know that not everything about being with someone's going to be exciting!">

<Rising Star: "I never said it had to be...">

-And embraces the female Marowak, the stars glittering unobscured by the ambient light one would encounter in this spot in our world in the vast expanse of the night-

Angela-B (Sorta Present)

-Steps on (?)'s wing-

<I like to see you try, not that you'd get far before my friends here tore you to shreds like they've done entire hordes in the past. Not that they would, since you're still within my friend's body after all.>

Cobalt: <We apologize for the deception, but the chaos of revealing it in the middle of our quest would've been...catastrophic.>

<I've had...experience with this sort of thing in the past, involving a certain Manaphy in Oblivia. It's kind of a long story. That, and his Aura patterns are definitely not Tracer's, not even brain damage would've gotten rid of his signature.>

-To Moogle-

<Tell me about this...Empire.>

Angela-B

-Hearing Tagg's explanation-

<Lardna: " WHAT? ">

<Gorga: "Wait, you mean that this really is some stranger in your friend's body? Not that we'd know. He's been like this ever since we saw him.">

<Pepper: "But how is that possible, there's no Manaphy here...

... Are there?">

<???: "Ahem.">

-And the group whirls around to see the apparent form of a Manaphy-

<Manaphy(?): "Yo.">

<All: O_o;>

<Manaphy(?): "... Nah, I'm just screwing with you.">

-And reveals itself to be a Zoroark that goes off a ways before melting into the surrounding landscape-

<Pepper: "... That... Was... Uncalled for.">

<Moogle: "... Oh... The empire? Well...">

-Launches into an offscreen explanation, detailing the location and workings of an evil empire of 'Ancient' Pokemon with a naive tone, if tempered and no longer as enthusiastic as it would have been a few months ago-

Angela-B

-To Moogle-

<So what you're telling me is that the island that Cianwood (I'm sorry, Cyan Wood.) was on is now home to an empire of fossil mons and ancient mons? And this guy...>

-Points to (?)-

<...is their actual Emperor, which would mean that Tracer's stuck in his body.>

Draca: <They sound like such nice mons.>

<Well, I guess we'll be heading over to Johto next to retrieve Tracer. No telling as to how we're going to get them back in their proper bodies though.>

Cobalt: <We may have saved this region from the Super Mutant threat, but that Pokefutures coding we found within Necropolis was rather...disconcerting. I fear this will not bode well later on down the line.>

Angela-B (Several months to a year later)

-What appears to be a helicopter of this◊ design is currently making its way across the sea-

??? #1: We've been surveying this area for months now. It's a mess with those mutants and ghouls all over the place. Not to mention that Pokemon have somehow created their own civilization.

??? #2: Civilization? Don't make me laugh, they and the few humans left have just been fighting over our scraps. Animals, all of them, fit only for slavery or extermination.

??? #1: The brass will decide what we're going to do about them so that true humanity can take back what was once ours.

??? #2: Indeed.

- Is asleep -

Alph, last night

Human!Ammy: Oh! You should try, Lina!

Lina: No. You saw what it did to you, how do you know it won't do something freakier to me?

Human!Ammy: -puts on her best pout- Please?

Lina: Alright... -to Pent- You got something that will mess with my outfit?

Will continue Time-Shenaniganing this later.

Ruins of Alph, last night

-Crow and Ghostus were totally with the group, reacting as necessary-

Crow: I'd like to have this tested out on me as well

Violet Hotel

-asleep-

Ecruteak

-Sakura is near the entrance to the gym and is just standing there-

Sakura: ... I'm kinda nervous... Should I really do this? I mean... Rawst was a champion, so if I beat him, I can beat this leader... So nervous... -sigh-

Violet Center

-Nitro and Drift have spent the night scaring/sculpting random mons-

Nitro: <So can we go back now? This is getting kind of boring...>

Drift: -shrugs- <Frill.>

- Wakes up -

Ecruteak

-Rawst finds Sakura near the gym entrance-

Rawst:Hey there! Are you gonna go challenge Morty?

Nimbasa City (Actual Present)

-We have currently ended up in a restaurant that was luckily not hit too bad by the storm I mentioned earlier-

Oh thank Arceus, food that isn't candy.

Draca: -Happily eating a trough of miscellaneous meat- <You're telling me.>

Coulomb: <All's well that ends well, right? I mean we got Tracer back to normal and got the Orb back together in one piece.>

Cobalt: <Unfortunately the Entralink sustained serious damage in our endeavours. It probably won't be working properly for a while.>

Muddy: <Tagg, shouldn't we be heading back home? Back to Pokepan, I mean.>

Bohr: <That's more your home don't you think?>

In a second, Xatu can get us there in no time flat.

-Reclines against my chair-

Right now I want a vacation from our vacation.

Violet Hotel

-Mezzo is asleep, cuddling Every-

- Watching Candida practice her Icy Wind attack -

Candida: (coughs up more snow)

Come on, Candida. You can do this!

Candida: (nods) <Okay!>

Sakura: Oh hi Rawst... Well, I think I am... I'm a bit nervous. -slightly embarrassed-

Violet City

Xatu: -Dumps us in a heap not too far away from where DS and Candida are ATM-

Draca: -At the bottom- <What was that?>

Xatu: <My apologies, I suppose my teleportation got interrupted by residual Orb energy.>

-As we dig ourselves out-

You should be fine by tomorrow I should ho-Notices DS-Damn it, need to hide.

-Looks around and notices that I'm in too wide a clearing, and not quite in a state to bother with the field-

Merde.

- Pets Candida -

Come on, Candida. Dig a little deeper.

Candida: (nods) <Okay...> (takes a deep breath, and manages to unleash a weak Icy Wind attack)

Yes, that's more like it!

Candida: (isn't able to keep using the attack for long, though) <Did I do it...?>

You're getting there.

Eli: (notices Tagg) <Eep!> (hides behind my legs)

What is it, Eli?

- Notices Tagg -

Tagg?

-Looks a bit scuffed up-

Oh hi DS...

-Looks at Candida and Eli-

I see at least two of those eggs have hatched. But where's the Larvesta one?

Pica: -Looking at Eli- <What's he scared of?>

Helios: -Flits over and peers down to look at Eli- <Don't be afraid, we're not gonna hurt you.>

Draca: <Says the Bug/Fire type that leaves flaming embers everywhere. Helios, get away from him.>

Helios: -Pulls out a honeypot from Hammerspace, ignoring Draca- <I have this sunflower honey, it's really good.>

...Tagg?

Ecruteak

Rawst:That's understandable. It's your first gym match. But I know you can do it. -smiles at her-

You okay, Tagg?

Candida: (looks up at Tagg) <Ooh... You're tall!>

Eli: (shivers, looking around nervously) <Um... I...>

Eli's would-be-self: Relax, they seem to be friends of DS.

Eli: <Oh, r-right...> (looks up at the Pokemon) <H-Hi there...>

Sunburst: (crawls over) <Did I miss anything?> (notices Tagg and his Pokemon) <Ooh, who are these guys?>

(currently in Ecruteak, a bewildered looking man runs into too Rawst out of breath)

"Scuse me..(pant)..Growlithes...(pant)...claws...(pant)...fire...(pant)"
