ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Cosette's Bar

Murcrow: <Huh. Another 10th anniversary. Also nice.>

Cosette's Bar

Cosette: "Probably. First I was gonna make a restuarant, love cooking like you wouldn't believe, same with my Blaziken, but, somethin' happened couple years back, bout... seven, six years ago now? Anyways I just sorta decided to keep things quieter after that. But it don't matter too much."

-Flips her hair- "But yeah, probably would've booted your sorry ass back outside if you'd tried to come in as a kid. But also yeah, gotta admit when you're in Orre, at least from what I've heard, you got enough stuff on your plate without worryin if the kid you're servin' drinks to is too young to be drinkin'."

-Sighs- "... Oh that's where I heard about you from. You brought down Cipher. Hell, with all you've done I should be payin' you but I think thanks works well enough. Yeah the attack on Citadark was pretty big everywhere, and I mean big because people talked about it for two consecutive days here. Then Peon Pencils became all the rage here. I don't understand this damn town sometimes."

Dewford, past

Jason:You ok, Sen?

-Nodnod.-

Good...

-To Crow-Looks like ya have a long way to go.

Hoenn Sea, today

-Jason surfs in one direction on his Gyarados...toward a very...strange location.-

Jason:Could it be....

Rust Colored Creamery, yesterday

Lane:You're fine...I suppose making that assumption would be natural...

-He chuckles halfheartedly.-

Especially for a coward...like me...

-Nom-

Heiden Room

-Maria cuddles and snuggles her sheepie.-

Heiden Room

-Morgi snuggles against her sister.-

Jessica...

Heiden Room

-Maria and Argo snuggle back.-

Maria:Morgi...Lane...

-She pulls at the sheets, bringing them closer.-

Never...leave me...

???

-Jason disembarks on the shore of a strange island.-

Jason:This place...it feels...

Familiar...

Dewford

-Some of Jason's mon, namely Kiyo and Darius, still recovering a little, have stayed behind and are about.-

Rustboro, Duniree's Room

Deziree: DUNE! DUNE WAKE UP!

-Deziree shakes Dune awake, who is alert in half a second.-

Dune: WHAT WHAT IS IT?!

-Dune jump up, stepping on a screw left on the floor. He hops up and down because have you ever stepped on something with bear feet before?-

Dune: OW DAMMIT!

Cid: <What are you both yelling about?>

Deziree: LOOK AT THE TV!

-On the TV is a news report with an image of the Slateport Museum.-

Newscaster: In a few days, the Slateport Museum with be presenting it's new model of the historical S.S. Anne. The model is result a collaboration between the Slateport Museum and the Cinnabar Island Reconstruction Society - all proceedings from the attraction event will be donated to...

Dune: Oh, hey! I remember the S.S. Anne! It was in Vermillion when we passed by.

Deziree: We didn't have the money for tickets, though. Also, we need to make our way to Dewford.

Dune: ... Wait, where's Dewford?

-Deziree points at a map.-

Dune: ... Dezi, that's an island.

Deziree: I know.

Dune: Dezi, I don't want to go to this island without a flyer.

Deziree: It's a boat, or Rill'll have to carry the both of us.

Rill: <I ain't doing that.>

-Dune sighs.-

-Rust Colored Creamery-

Aww come on Lane, you're too hard on yourself. You're not a coward. At least, nothing you've done yet has given me that impression. Actually, you seem kinda bold to me.

Rust Colored Creamery

-Lane tints a little.-

Lane:I...I am...? How so?

-Nom.-

???

-As Jason walks up the shore...the scenery changes to a field...and ahead, is the opening to a cave.-

Jason:Woah...

Here...

-Rust Colored Creamery-

Okay, look, you're obviously into this Tori chick, right? Well, it takes a lot of bravery to kiss your crush. Trust me, I would know. Plus, you did make the first move to kiss me under the fake mistletoe, even though I'm still kinda a complete stranger.

-pauses to take a bit of her ice cream-

Oh, and then there's the whole following your sister to try and protect her. That takes bravery, don't you think?

Rust Colored Creamery

-Lane blushes more, smiling a little.-

Lane:A...A little...I suppose...hehe...

-After a moment, he realizes something and goes even more red.-

You...saw me kiss Tori...?

-Rust Colored Creamery-

Yeah, I did. Sorry. But I kinda figured it was no big deal. I mean, traditions are traditions, right? And you seem very fond of upholding holiday kissing traditions.

Dewford, three nights prior

Murcrow: <Right...>

The Petalburg with Numels

-After a bit, one of the Numel notices the group and heads over-

Numel: <Welcome to Petalburg, travelers!>

<It's been a while since we've had visitors here, We're kind of remote.>

<Yeppity, once that Hydreigon Hooktail was spotted flying around this area...>

<Well, it didn't help tourism, to put it that way. People just stopped visiting.>

Dewford, past

Jason:Still...good battle. Maybe Darius learned something.

Rust Colored Creamery

Lane:-blushes-Um...yeah...I, uh...suppose I kinda am...

-Awkwardly averts his gaze.-

???

-Jason approchea the cave...it has the makings of a Zoroark den.-

Jason:-Brings a hand to his forehead-Ugh...I feel sick...

Petalburg

Cass:<I wonder why...>

Dewford, three nights prior

Murcrow: <Yeah, hopefully.>

Hope Alpha will too, though...

Dewford Gym, yesterday

Pleth: <WAUGH!>

Ephemera: -throws Must into the field-

Must: -blinks, and conjures up leaves, swiping them magically at the Meditite-

Dewford Gym, gestern

-The Meditite is, due to the nature of the attack, unable to avoid the Magical Leaf and faints-

Brawly: "Ice Punch, Meditite!"

-The Meditite then makes its fist icy and tries to punch Must-

Dewford Gym, gestern

Must: -hops up, flapping his remaining wings for temporary support to boost himself out of the Meditite's path, before descending to Body Slam the Meditite-

Royal Road

-Dedede rises to his feet-

Dedede: <Ooog... where am— Wah!>

-and immediately dashes behind Mezzo-

-Mezzo turns around to see that Sectonia is also awake, and shimmering faintly-

Queen Sectonia: <Bah... Aha... I...see. I expected as much from the heroes chosen by the Dreamstalk. But I wonder... How will you handle this?>

-she flies out toward the Dreamstalk's bud-

Queen Sectonia: <You see, true beauty...is control. The Dreamstalk has guided you thus far...>

-and a pillar of light erupts from it-

Queen Sectonia: <...but its bloom will be your doom!>

All across the Dream World

-a mass of writing vines suddenly sprouts from the Dreamstalk, covering everything in sight-

Queen Sectonia: <Floralia, and all of the Dream World!>

Royal Road

-Sectonia flies into the pillar of light, becoming completely enveloped in it-

Queen Sectonia: <You should all feel honored. You shall serve as my sustenance... for eternity!>

Royal Road

Ever: <Oh, come on. This one wasn't even our fault!>

Fortree City Jail

Note: -falls out of the fluff-

Merle: <Aha!>

Salamence: <How do you expect a piece of paper to help you escape?>

Note: -folds herself into a Taillow- Nobody respects me...

Royal Road

Maria:<N...No...>

-She shakes a little.-

<We won't let you!>

-She fires her boosted Shadow Ball into the light.-

Fortree City Jail

Basket: <OK, that should do it!>

-it begins to rain outside as a lamenting musical track backs Basket up-

<Stuck inside these four walls...>

<Sent inside forever...>

<Never seein' noone... nice... again....>

<Like you, Mama... you...>

-he gestures to Merle to take the next stanza-

Fortree City Jail

Merle: <If I ever get out of here...>

-Note unfolds into a black-and-white of a jail cell-

Merle: <Thought of giving it away to a registered charityyyyy...>

-Note becomes an advertisement-

Merle: <All I need is a pint a day, if I ever get out of here...>

-air guitar-

<IF WE EVER GET OUT OF HEEEEEERE!>

Fortree City Jail

-Well the rain explodes with a mighty-

CRASH!

-blowing a hole in the jail wall, out of which Merle, Note, and Basket fall into the now-clear sunny day-

Royal Road

Mezzo: <Yeah, really.>

-the balcony is now covered in vines, obscuring the view completely; a few flowers, each with a singular eye, appear on them-

-Maria's Shadow Ball hits one of these, causing it to close-

Floette♀: <Incoming!>

-the five Floette fly in, carrying a flower cannon-

Mezzo: <What is that?>

Floette♀: <We're going to take a stand against the evil queen! Are you with us?>

Dedede: <Yeah! The only mon who gets to rule the Dream World is me!>

Mezzo: <...Really?>

Floette♀: <Great! Hop in! We can use this to launch you to where she is!>

Mezzo: <Uh, what about all the vines?>

Floette♀: <Hm... that's a problem!>

Floette♀: <I guess we'll have to clear them out of the way to get a good shot!>

Mezzo: -sigh- <Fine, let's do this.>

Psyche stumbles along, barely conscious still.
