ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Driftveil

Duke sighs as he watched Sakura walk away and instead goes to talk with Herbert, at the same time that he waved at Umbra and co.

"Hey, Herbert, can I talk to you for a bit?" Duke asked, keeping his cool.

Subwhere

<Driftveil, Unova...>

-And... Off we go!-

Near Umbra and Tagg

-Basically pops into existence. Then I was always there for perfectly reasonable reasons-

Driftveil City

-Herbert turns to look at Duke, turning his back on Umbra and Tagg-

Herbert: I suppose so. Though it better be important, I'm sure Tagg's got a few choice insults he's just itching to hurl my way.

Entralink

Jacob: -Face darkens- "Yes. I do. If that thing is really that powerful, than no matter how strong my team is, I won't be able to win without either natural luck, or skill as a trainer." -Smugly smiles and shrugs-

"Fine then. I'll prove it here. I'll beat Pallad."

Driftveil

Elityria: -Runs after Sakura on Joy- "H-Hey! Wait up! Wait!"

Joy: <JOYJOYJOOOOOY!!!>

Driftveil

Umbra: -to Tagg- Got it. -to Herbert- I'm... an associate of his, yes. -to Duke- Hello there... You look familiar.

Human!Ammy: -to Herbert- Puffstool's just silly. -to Pent- Hi, mister Pent!

Puffstool: <The mushroom is not.>

Black City

-The boy's eyes widen-

Boy: I can't believe it... We found them! -to his Sigyliph- Nazca, we found them!

Nazca: <Sir Nicodemus, be careful. You don't want to scare them off.>

Nicodemus: Oh! Yes! -to Lina, Arika, and Sarah- Um... Hi. ._.

Lina: ...Hi?

Arika: Hi!

Gino: <Hi, nyan!>

Wrangler: ...

Makoto: Hey, what's out there?

Huh?

-opens the door, and Makoto bolts out-

HEY!

-gives chase to Makoto, who is running down the hall-

Driftveil

-Zeal? is walking around.-

Entralink

Brecht: <Very well. Only him, to give you a slight chance.>

Black City

Sarah: Hello. I'm Sarah. Your name's Nicodemus? Can we just call you Nico?

Brecht: -appears- <Pallad is needed elsewhere briefly.>

Pallad: <...Okay?>

Entralink

Brecht: <All right. Your entire team, against him.>

-He blips out of sight.-

Pallad: <...I'm not sure what the deal is, but if you insist on a fight...>

Hey guys.

-Hugs all around-

Driftveil - Duke

"From what I can see you're the one who's being hostile here, like calling someone an "asshole" the instant you see him." Duke commented, with a small smile, before shaking his head slightly "Anyway, since you're back here, I just wanted to know when you want to do the next training session." he asked, calmly.

Driftveil - Sakura

As Lity approached Sakura, Hercules suddenly started to block her way

"<Woah woah! Can't you just let her be?>" he asked, staying in front of them.

"<Is it really a good idea to leave Sakura like that?>" asked Dylan, now stopping to stay close to Hercules

"<I'm not sure, but I don't think she even knows her, have you seen this girl before?>" asked Hercules

"<Well, no, you're right! It's better to let one of her friends talk to her.>" said Dylan.

-Joseph tries to keep up with Makoto, but she is far too fast-

Get back here!

-she reaches the end, and swiftly turns around and runs the other way-

What the hell?

Driftveil City

-Herbert raises an eyebrow disbelievingly at Umbra-

Herbert: Associate. Right. I can fill in the blanks myself, thank you.

-he looks over at Duke-

Herbert: I'd say that when someone tries to kill you over a quasi-imagined slight, then you gain the right to call them an asshole whenever you please. And as for the next training session... are you and Lyuri free tomorrow? I didn't really have any plans here, to be honest.

Driftveil

-Zeal? notices and approaches Herbert & others, but says nothing.-

Entralink

Jacob: "Seeing as your a Metagross, you should have by now already figured out what's going on. I assume you're ready. So let's begin."

Jacob: "Alright! P-1! You're up!"

-Sends out the Pawniard-

"Hit it quickly!"

P-1: <Yes sir!> -Rushes at Pallad and attempts to slash at It with his blade-arms-

Jacob: I'm sorry, but you're the best choice for the pawn in this match...

Driftveil

Elityria: "Huh? Are you talking to me? I don't understand Pokemon, sorry!" -Nervous smile- "Now please, let me through! I need to talk to her! No one here understands Jacob like I do, I'm the best one to try and help out!"

Joy: -With defiance- <Joy JOY!>

Driftveil

Umbra: -slightly miffed- Okay, he's my friend. Sorry.

Human!Ammy: -starting to get concerned- Why don't you like mister Tagg, mister Herbert?

Black City

Nico: -To Sarah- Oh, sure! People mostly call me Nico, Nazca is just weird like that.

Nazca: <I am not.>

Nico: Anyway, you know where I can find more of you guys?

Driftveil - Duke

"I'm not going to argue about that." said Duke, with a shrug as he didn't want any more arguing for the day "I'm free, Lyuri... Maybe, I'll see about that later."

Duke then looked at Umbra, not remembering him "Oh? Well, I don't think I know you, anyway, I should be helping my girlfriend now, later."

Duke then starts walking away.

Driftveil - Sakura

"<But the one with problems is Sakura, not Jacob.>" said Dylan, tilting his head slightly in response.

"<She can't hear us.>" said Hercules

Entralink

-Pallad barely even feels it.-

Pallad: <I regret having to do this... I might as well do it as mercifully as possible.>

Black City

Sarah: Well, a lot of the others are in Driftveil. I only stayed behind because... um... well, something told me these two were here.

Driftveil City

-Herbert doesn't even bother looking at Umbra or Ammy this time, nor does he seem to care that Tagg is still present-

Herbert: I don't like "mister Tagg" because he tried to throttle me in a restaurant after I looked at him funny. In front of my dat- a very good friend of mine, at that. So you'll forgive my distrust I might harbour towards him or his colleagues, especially considering that there are... other mitigating factors involved.

-he looks over at the departing Duke and the recently-arrived Zeal-

Herbert: Alright. See you later then, Duke. And hey again, Zeal. Are you doing alright?

Of course he leaves out the part where he basically called me a Pokefutures agent.

Driftveil

Zeal?: I'm fine. Yourself?

Driftveil

Human!Ammy: Oh...

-thinks a bit, then leers at Tagg-

Tagg! You shouldn't beat random people up!

Umbra: Ammy... >_>

Black City

Nico: I see...

TO DRIFTVEIL

-Hops on Nazca and flies off-

Lina: Weird kid.

Arika: I feel like we'll see him again...

Driftveil City

Herbert: -wearily, to Ammy- Good luck convincing him not to. He appears to treat it as some kind of hobby.

-he turns back to Zeal-

Herbert: I've been better, Zeal. Though your concern is appreciated. I'm more worried about you, seeing as you were the one who took a Sludge Bomb to the chest and shrugged it off. When that happened to Jacob, he had to spend ages in a wheelchair.

Entralink

P-1: / / / / / / / / / / <I... can still fight... sir....>    / / / / / / / / / /    -Collapses from pain, faints and is recalled-

Jacob: -Goes wide eyed- "You... I can still win this! This is only the start of the game! The opening sets the stage, but by no means decides the match! Voidstar!" -Sends out Voidstar-

Voidstar: -Without even being given instructions, quickly sharpens claws and in a flash is in front of Pallad- <I know you're going to beat me.> -Quickly crosses arms and slashes in an x-shaped path- <But you'll forgive me for being difficult!>

Driftveil

Elityria: "C'mon! Please... let me help.... I can help... even if only a little..."

Joy: -In a tone that suggests the two are going to get past even if it takes the rest of the Arc year- <JOY. JOY.> >-<

Black City

Sarah: He seems nice enough. So, where have you all been the past month?

Entralink

Pallad: <Forgiven.>

-To Umbra-

He left out the part where he basically accused me of being a Pokefutures agent. I won't deny that what I did was kinda wrong, but he's hardly blameless in this whole thing.
