ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Holon City outskirts

- Lina and Umbra are still talking...-

-When Ammy emerges from trees-

Lina: So then I...

- Sees Ammy, her eyes widening-

Umbra, look!

Umbra: Hmm?

-turns around, and starts-

AMMY!

- Rushes up to her-

Oh Ammy I'm so glad you're O-

- And is promptly punched in the face and staggers back-

OW! What was THAT for?!

Human!Ammy: -scowling- That was for everything in Ransei.

Umbra: -shocked- H-How did you...?

-He then notices Ammy's crown-

-And her weapons-

-And Tagg and Herbert's outfits behind her-

- And the look in her eyes-

- And suddenly, everything clicks-

N-No...

Holon City Outskirts

Holon City

-Selene jumps back at the sudden violence.-

Selene: <Oh!>

-Her sudden distress catches the attention of a certain Sigilyph.-

Garuda: <Hm?>

-Garuda floats down next to the distressed Clefable.-

Holon City

-Herbert folds his arms as he gives Umbra a cold stare, though it is devoid of some of its usual vitriol.-

Herbert: Honestly, I'm surprised that you didn't make the connection earlier. I assumed that the impression I made would have been... fairly vivid, to say the least. In any case, you and I are going to have a little chat later. Once I've caught up with everyone else, of course.

-a blond has tackleglomped Herbert, oblivious to the drama between Umbrammy-

HERBERT HERBERT HERBERT HERBERT HERBERT HERBERT HERBERT HERBERT HERBERT HERBERT HERBERT YOU'RE BACK

YOU'RE BACK I MISSED YOU

Holon City

Sakura and Seth eventually come across the scene.

"Hey! Ammy, Herbert, Tagg! You're-" she then sees Umbra "... Back, oooh..." she said, with some bad feelings.

Aurora

"If I wasn't, I wouldn't be your second-in-command, would I?" asked Miyu.

Holon City

-With complete seriousness-

You know Umbra, it's one thing to be told that you were once a terrible dictator. It's another thing entirely to have seen it for myself.

Holon City

Sylva: <See? Sylva brought you to your friends~ Too bad Jayjay isn't here to see them~>

Aurora

Ichigo:Good point. I mean, I'm surprised you stuck around after I did so poorly in battle however many years ago that was.

Holon City

-Herbert is tackleglomped by Joseph, and gives a small smirk.-

Herbert: Huh, someone actually noticed that I was gone. That's more than I was expecting.

-He disentangles himself from Joseph and waves to Sakura. Despite his tattered clothes, mop of dirty, uncut hair, emaciated condition and general exhaustion, he appears to be in fairly good spirits.-

Herbert: Hey again. In all seriousness, it's good to be back. I missed you guys as well.

Holon City

Garuda: <Interesting...>

-A familiar (in more than one way) figure comes around the corner, with a certain Delta Donphan at his side.-

Dune: Galvani is so grounded, now.

-The man stops and looks around, before going up to Selene and Garuda.-

Dune: Oh, what's going on here?

Selene: <I'm not... really sure.>

Ren: -raising his voice so Herbert and others can hear- "Welcome back, Lord High Regent of Pancakeland"

-still very very emotional, Joseph continues yelling, but expressing in lower caps for the sake of Herbert's author-

How could we not miss you you're one of the best people in the group and I missed you and I tried not to think about it lest I get depressed but sometimes it happened like when my other best friend got shot and I was so worried and you might have died and I was worried about it and it's nice to see you back I missed you!

-jumps up and down in excitement and happiness-

Recap?

Psyche: Well, the Okamiquest group just got back.

Holon City

-Herbert smiles at Joseph.-

Herbert: Calm down. I'd hate for you to burst an artery the moment after I get back.

-He hears Ren yell over at him, and his smile fades slightly.-

Herbert: What are you... oh, I get it. Ha ha, very funny.

Okamiquest came back, they brought Ahm, Kaius died, Sabaku lifted the Storm Curtain, Brandon got arrested by Fukurou and it's Lina's birthday. I think I'm missing something though.

Holon City

Psyche is around, and might be available to talk to by Herbert.

But you're back you're back you're ba-

-a cloud of Sleep Powder flies at Joseph, who swiftly falls asleep-

-Nightshade and Scarlett bring him to the side-

Scarlett: <Sorry about that. He likes you as much as that Pi guy.>

Holon City

Sakura would be talking with Herbert was it not for Ammy, Tagg and Umbra's situation.

Aurora

Miyu stays silent for a while, but she just smiles at Ichigo "I've been with you because I had faith that someday you'd be a great Warlord for Aurora, even if you would struggle at first, it would do us no good to just abandon you because you made mistakes without giving you time to make up for them. And... I've always liked you, not only as Warlord, but as a person, I knew you'd make the right choices for this kingdom and and working for you made me happy, because I knew I was doing something worth doing. I have no regrets."

Agate Village Pokémon Center

Jacob: -Is sitting in his room hugging his Gardevoir plushie-

Holon City

Sylva: -Sniffs Herbert- <Yuck! Silly man needs a bath.> -She Bubblebeams at Herbert-

Holon City Outskirts

Lina: Wait, AMMY was that White Arcanine?!

- Umbra is oblivious to Herbert. He hears Tagg, but is focused on Ammy-

Umbra: That was... You were... All this time it was...

- Tears streaming down his face as he hangs his head-

I-I'm so sorry... I used you... I hurt you... I did so many horrible things to so many people... I'm a monster...

Human!Ammy: ...

-Her expression softens and she runs up and embraces him, causing him to lift his head up with a start-

And this is for everything else.

- Holds him out at arm's length-

I know you aren't that kind of person anymore, Umbra. You've changed. I helped you change.

Umbra: -stares at her in shock before taking her hand-

And... I'm more grateful for that than anything in the world.

-They kiss. Then...-

???: <Umbra dahling?>

??? 2: <Lina?>

- Umbra and Lina turn to see a certain Dusknoir and Ninetales-

Umbra: BOW!

Lina: ROSA!

- They embrace their long-lost mons. Ammy looks on and smiles-

Holon City

Herbert: I'm flatt-

-He is then Bubblebeamed by Sylva and drenched through. After a moment of standing still and dripping, he bursts out laughing.-

Herbert: Thanks, I needed that. I haven't had a proper bath in about... a month, maybe? Two months? I've forgotten, honestly.

-He leers slightly at Umbra and Ammy, but says nothing. He would wave to Psyche, but thanks to the change of hairstyle he doesn't recognise her.-

Holon City

Psyche looks at Herbert. "Oh, hey, Herbert."

Well as Ammy said Umbra, you were horrible back then, but from what I've seen, you're not the same man you were back in Ransei.

-Is then immediately glomped by my mons-

Darner: <I told you guys he ended up in Ransei, he looks just like the guy in the museum portrait.>

Portrait?

Darner: <Yeah, I said that it looked like you but the others didn't believe me but here you are so I'm totally right.>

Pica: <Yeah, yeah, yeah...>

I hope you guys didn't get into too much trouble while I was busy in Ransei.

Ovis: <W-Well there was Fade, Toxicroak, and Gyru coming back and tricking us.>

Oh really?

Rotor: <Cipher showed up.>

....Did you just say...Cipher?

Artemia: -Hanging on a convenient branch- <We totally trashed them though, the testudo formation was a perfect success.>

Well I'm going to have to glean more information from you guys later, we brought someone with us and him dying here would be kinda bad.
