ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Outside the Sneasel Cave

Solace: <Look, can we at least go in the cave where it's warm?>

Breeze: (Uproar-style) <NO!>

Solace: <Wha—> -flung off her feet, and lands in the cave- <...Ow.>

Breeze: <Hey, I said no!>

Marceline thinks for a moment. "Good point. But using a needle would also require a circulatory system, which I don't think Grass types have either."

AU

Caroline blinks. "Good point. Still. I can weather the weather for days. How long until the sand destroys your machines? I can wait a couple of weeks."

-cuddles-

-Has woken up, is now playing some light background music while being rather mysterious-

Trish exists.

Trip exists.

Lily: <So? N-now what?>

AU

"Alright then. I'll go. But when your not prepared, I'm making this road. See ya."

He leaves, his crew following.

Within the ship

-Takes off my sunglasses upon entering a darker area of the ship-

Helios, some light please.

Helios: -Glows...to reveal that we're in a room filled with gunpowder- <Eep!>

Ah crud, let's be very careful here. Should've replaced the batteries for my flashlight or gotten a couple more glowsticks. >_>

Cobalt: -Let's himself out of his ball, floating above the ground- <Tagg, the structural integrity of this ship is rapidly failing. It'll be underwater soon enough.>

-Smirks-

Then let's find ourselves a souvenir, shall we?

-And the three continue onward-

Candida: (giggles)

Marceline hugs Lily tightly. "C'mon, even if she uses a needle, I can promise you that it won't hurt for long. At the very least, it'll be better than feeling so crummy."

AU

"And you better hope that you have some papers for me to see, because I'm staying right here until this is resolved."

Leaving for a while. Watching a Christmas movie~

-hangs out with DS, and her family (and Salamence) for the rest of the evening)-

Sneasel Cave

-Solace gets up and looks around- <...There are people in here?>

Breeze: -floats in- <Solace, come out of— People! ^_^>

Lily: <-pouts- Hmph...>

-Crewe wakes up and yawns, then shifts to human and draws her knees up to her chest, facing the fire-

Crewe's Cave

Chrome: -Is near Skye-

Lina: Hmm...

- Moves up front-

Hey guys! Want to see a cool party trick?

Crewe's Cave

Breeze: <Party trick! ^_^>

Solace: <Breeze, I don't think we're even invited...>

Crewe's Cave

Sakura: So... Straw, is there anybody else I know here?

Yeah, sure.

-Fades out the background music-

-Crescent is looking around-

Looking for something?

Crescent:<What, me? I'm totally not looking for mistletoe. Nope.>

...Okay then.

-To Sakura-

Well, there's Crewe, Eskay, and hmm... Who else...Oh, Umbra and his friends are here too.

-perks up and looks over to Lina-

A party trick? Neat!

Cave

AU, a cave up in the mountains of a region somewhere in the world

A large female Garchomp reclines near the back end of the cave. She appears to be asleep, her eyes closed and her front claws resting on her knees.

Before her, a Hydreigon sits curled near the entrance, an old, scarred Druddigon sharpens his claws on a rock, and a Haxorus paces back and forth.

Haxorus: <How can you all just sit around and dawdle? We need to strike, and strike now—General Valterra, are you even awake?!>

Druddigon: <Do try to look less like a complete moron, Ormarr.>

Hydreigon: <I thought it was obvious why we weren't doing anything yet. If we attacked now, we'd lose. Though I am a little tired of just sitting around...>

Druddigon: <If you two would spend half the time training your troops as you did complaining about not wanting to train your troops, I daresay we'd be more than a match for any army that can be thrown up against us.>

Hydreigon: <I do train, it's just dreadfully boring drilling and drilling and not fighting anyone!>

The Garchomp makes a rumbling sound, but doesn't open her eyes.

Valterra: <Do listen to James, my dears. He knows what he's doing far more than you two do.>

Ormarr: <I take offense to that! I'm a much better fighter than that old codger, and I don't advocate sitting around doing nothing!>

Valterra: <Temeraire, love, pray tell Colonel Ormarr why we don't attack just yet.>

She holds up a claw before the Druddigon can open his mouth to protest.

Valterra: <I know you take pleasure in putting dear Ormarr in his place, James, but let the young'uns have their turn, hm? Go on, Temeraire.>

The Hydreigon clears his throat and sits up straighter.

Temeraire: <We can't attack yet because the Council haven't made it possible for us to win, yet. Without their master stroke, we'd lose before barely even starting.>

The Haxorus snarls.

Ormarr: <To hell with the Council! I want to put those thrice-damned humans in their place now!>

Valterra's eyes fly open and she slams her right fin into the side of the cave, making a satisfying thud and sending several rocks flying.

Valterra: <Mind your words, Colonel Ormarr. The Council gave you your position, and they can take it away. Along with your life. Is that understood?>

Ormarr gives a terse nod, teeth clenched.

Ormarr: <Understood, General Valterra.>

Valterra: <Good.>

She settles back against the wall and closes her eyes again.

Valterra: <Leave me. No—wait. Not you, James. You stay here. Colonel Temeraire, Colonel Ormarr, you are dismissed.>

Temeraire bobs his head and uncurls himself neatly before flying out the entrance to the cave. Ormarr grumbles to himself, but leaves without further protest. James approaches Valterra and flops down beside her, going back to sharpening his claws.

Valterra: <Ah, James, my dear old friend... What are we going to do with this lot? If only this were like the good old days, you and I scrappin' our way through the world...>

James growls and flashes his teeth.

James: <Don't you go getting nostalgic, Val. We've got work to do.>

Valterra sighs and passes a claw across her face.

Valterra: <That we do, James, that we do. Now, Colonel, don't you have duties to attend to?>

James: <Aye, General, that I do.>

Valterra: <Attend to them, then. You are dismissed.>

James: <Yes'm.>

He heaves himself to his feet and leaves the cave. Valterra sighs heavily and relaxes.

Crewe's Cave

-Lina forms two small Shadow Balls... and starts juggling them-

Lina: Yeah? How about that? :3

Bowels of the ship

-After a long AC-esque platforming sequence, we make it to the bottom-

Helios: <Do you guys hear...beeping?>

-Turns to see a timed charge attached to the hull counting down to to zero, likely left by the previous owners-

Helios: !

Cobalt: !

Oh sh-

-It explodes, and icy water starts filling the ship rapidly-

Guess it wasn't all that long ago, time to start moving!

-Recalls Cobalt while Helios and I make a run for it, water rushing in right where I was a few moments ago-

Why does this crap always happen to me and no one else?

-Vaults over a fallen pillar and is then forced to climb as the ship starts moving about 90 degrees-

Heh, cool.

-Smile-

-Crewe watches for a while, completely enamored-

That's so cool!

Crewe's Cave

-Sakura then notices Lina and what she was doing-

Sakura: Huh... How is she doing that...? -clearly surprised-
