ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Hau'oli Graveyard

Pleth: <EVER COLLECTIVENOUN MEMITO!>

Ever: Who told you my middle name?

Pleth: <THAT IS BESIDES THE POINT! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? WHY WOULD YOU CATCH HIM?>

Ever: Because he's adorable. And a ghostie. An adorable ghostie.

Pleth: <HE TRIED TO KILL YOU AND HE PRETENDED TO BE MY BOYFRIEND FOR LIKE SIX MONTHS!>

Ever: Yeah, so you killed and ate him. That makes you even, right?

Pleth: <...I'm not happy about this.>

Ever: Come on, I'm sure a little time in the Spirit World has improved his personality. Let's say hi.

Pleth: <Let's not.>

-she recalls herself-

-Ever shrugs, and sends Muninn out-

-Muninn immediately begins slashing at him with spectral claws-

Ever: Aww, it's cute how you think that accomplishes anything.

Muninn: <I will sever your skin from your flesh, mud-dweller!>

Ever: You are just the cutest thing. What's under that rag?

Muninn: <The sight of my true form would petrify your brain, insect.>

Ever: Got it...

-he yanks off the-

-It's not my fault! The camera stopped working!-

-I don't care what she appreciates! I'm doing my best!-

-one second...-

-Ever is staring at Muninn, who is once again covered by a rag. Ever's nose is bleeding profusely, as are his eyes and ears-

Ever: ...Aww.

PEFE

Winston: <Sensitive? All I see is you transmitting to my people that Glitch is done with, I thought that was common knowledge.>

Also, aw you took out the Fancy Trumpet

Hau'oli

Alana is around, followed by four Oricorio- one of each style.

Pom-Pom Oricorio: <Man, I'm glad to be here again. I wish I saw more of Sinnoh, though! Being stuck in our balls that entire time was lame...>

Sensu Oricorio: <Well, at least it's over now...>

Baile Oricorio: <You can say that again. I need to stretch..>

Pa'u Oricorio: <The quiet was nice...>

Spear Pillar, Past

Alana: "Okay, that shouldn't be too hard to find..." She gets to looking. Cygno, who was still out, assists her.

CU, The Realm Of Mikuratana No Kami

Daydre wipes some sweat off her brow.

"I hope not.. I'm mildly out of shape, that was tiring.." She says to Silent.

Huli Jing doots on her trumpet.

Space Tunnels, PMD-B

Doc: -To Maggie- Golrod is a horrible place filled with mean Murkrow that all talk like Crowley.

Crochet: Bluescale's nice enough though, and so's the Sprout Tower.

Doc: There was someplace here I wanted to try seeing again first though...

Resort Area, OU

Ann: -Has been hanging around here for lack of ideas for things to do- Maybe I could go to Alola like what so many of my brother's friends have been doing... or get to know the ones still here more.

Cathedral, OU

???Ken Shido: -Shakes it- Ken Shido. Nice to meet you Vierr.

The Cathedral

Vierr: Nice to meet you too. So, what's your specialty? I assume you're some sort of Auric as well?

Slightly: <Eh, we could probably get some plunder if we went there.>

Maggie: <Ah, hrm.>

<Though, forget what I've heard the fans call this. The real Bad Future is an alternate universe where they all act like Sholto instead.>

<...But, seriously, what did you want to see, Doc?>

Hau'oli Graveyard

Ever: So. Are you done with the needless and pointless aggression?

Muninn: <...>

-he Slashes Ever once more, to no effect at all-

Ever: Don't worry, I'll train you up a bit. You'll be taking out Gym mons in no time.

Muninn: <...You do understand, do you not, that I will kill you the second I can injure you?>

Ever: That's sweet of you, but better mons than you have tried. Including, you know, you.

-he scoops up Muninn-

Ever: Do you think I should rename you?

Muninn: <What?>

Ever: Well, you know, it's my right as a trainer to give you a nickname.

Muninn: <It is not.>

Ever: Sure it is. What do you think of Buttercup?

Muninn: <No.>

Ever: Flopsy?

Muninn: <No.>

Ever: Ears?

Muninn: <No.>

Ever: Velveteen?

Muninn: <I will rend you.>

Ever: In this team, we don't make empty threats to each other. Sunshine?

Muninn: <Do I look like a Sunshine to you?>

Ever: Well, come on. Give me something to work with.

Muninn: <No.>

Ever: I guess I'll think of something.

Muninn: <I have a name.>

Ever: So did I when you put a little crown on my head and took control of my brain for months.

Muninn: <...>

-Ever stares at Muninn-

Ever: (smiling) Don't think I've forgotten.

-he pets Muninn, who hisses-

Ever: That is plush. What did you make it out of?

Iki Town

Hala: The Trial Captains kinda work like a mix between Gym Leaders and... erm... camp counselors. I think that's a good way to put it. Anyway! Those passports will be stamped by each captain as you finish their trials. Once you finish Ilima's trial, you'll get to come back here and challenge me! We're a small island.

-He pulls out a trio of Pokeballs.-

Hala: Now... this is my favorite part.

Doomsday: <Nuh uh! No way! I am NOT being replaced!>

-The Chansey drags Ludmilla off by the arm.-

Hala: ... That's one pushy Chansey. Er. Anyway.

Iki Town

Jason:Those are-!

-His eyes are sparkling-

Regional starters!

-Yeah, his borb radar is going off-

Iki Town

-Locke walks up to the group near Hala-

Locke: Er, hello? You all look new here too, you seen any thugs trying to harass people around? Me and someone I'm traveling with heard they were showing up he-

-he blinks and looks at the proceedings-

...Is this a local ceremony?

Hau'oli City

-Ever has returned here-

Ever: So. You know a lot of stuff, right?

Muninn: <I know everything.>

Ever: Except how to dodge Skarmory feathers, clearly. Ooh! And the motivations of my Meowstic. Oh, and the fact that I have other Latii on my side. And not to mention—

Muninn: <Silence!>

Ever: Hey now. Let's not forget who's got the Poke Ball. Anyway, your failings aside, you're pretty smart. So I'll make you a deal.

Muninn: <I don't deal with mud-crawlers.>

Ever: So first term, none of that kind of talk. Humans have been evolving for just as long as Latii, and this human particularly was evolved enough to figure out how to kill you. So it's time you started learning people's names. Cool?

Muninn: <I will not bow to your terms.>

Ever: Second term, you'll answer my questions about this place, because I don't know anything about it. Ooh, and if we run into new mons, you can tell me about them. You can be like a Pokedex!

Muninn: <Why would I give you information?>

Ever: Because I have something you want.

-he produces a Pokepuff from his pack, and holds it in front of Muninn-

Muninn: <What is this?>

Ever: Take a fucking sip, babes bite.

Muninn: <You've poisoned it.>

Ever: If I actually wanted to kill you again, don't you think I'd have done it by now? Take a bite.

-Muninn very cautiously bites down on the Pokepuff-

-there's a pause-

-and he quickly devours the rest of it-

Ever: See? That's what I thought. Want more?

-Muninn nods-

Ever: The terms are before you.

-Muninn's eyes narrow-

Muninn: <You tricked me.>

Ever: It's sort of mind-boggling how easy it is.

Muninn: <...For now, I accept your terms.>

Ever: Nice!

Little Girl: -bounces down the stairs-

Good morning, Mr. Sparkles! -she pets a Bewear Plushie-

Good morning, Mz. Winnifred! -she adjusts a plastic Roggenrola toy that has been bedazzled and covered in stickers-

Good morning, Ms. Barbara! -she brushes a Shuppet puppet. Not a real Shuppet, just a puppet that looks like a Shuppet-

Good morning, Mr. Pu-

...

Mr. Puka..?

-scraps and a mound of stuffing sit in the Pikachu plushie's spot-

Little Girl: -puts her hands to her cheeks- Oh noooooooooooo!

-she quickly grabs a blindfold and a box of red chalk, then lines up the remaining toys-

Little Girl: There has been a MURDERER at this residence last night! And it has to be one of you. The real killer, raise your hand!

-she lifts the Bewear's hand, then shakes her head sadly-

Little Girl: I'm sorry, but we have to exit-cute you now.

-she picks up the Bewear and heads for the bathroom, only to find the door locked-

Little Girl: MOM! I HAFTA EXITCUTE A MURDER!

Mom: I'M SHOWERING AND CAN'T HEAR YOU! YOU CAN BRUSH YOUR TEETH WHEN I'M DONE!

Little Girl: -looks at the Bewear plush- Good news! You got pardoned!

-she goes to the kitchen for breakfast-

Cephas: -uses Rollout!-

Fuego: -jumps on top of Cephas and somersaults around the attack-

Cephas: <Not bad.>

-Fuego glows briefly-

Cephas: <You're nearing evolution, it looks.>

Fuego: <Haha, yes!>

-their sparring gets interrupted by Shadow's announcement-

Fuego: <Aw, we were busy!>

-He assumes a crash position, muttering.-

Umbra: Dune just left for the night right before you posted that, so the rest of this will have to wait until tomorrow

Iki Town

-Rose steps back-

Rose: I think I'm good staying with Domino for now.

-Scarlette, meanwhile, moves to take one, but pauses, and counts the current collection of trainers, even before Locke shows up.-

Scarlette: ...I think we might need a second set?

-Rose, meanwhile, turns to look at Locke.-

Rose: Sorry, we haven't. We just got here, really.

Bitters:Dammit, should I blank my post?

PEFE

Winston: <Er, all right. I do have to wonder what you guys are doing talking to them, though.>

Forte: We're going down! Everyone brace for impact!

-the airship hits land!-

-Forte is knocked to the floor-

Forte: Oof! Well, we're not dead.

Shadow: <We've made landfall. I brought us to the nearest island I could see.>

Forte: Great... let's hope we're close to Hoenn then.

Nah, don't worry, unless you want to have Locke ask about the thing in a later scene anyway.

Ok.

Iki Town

Locke: -to Rose- Well, good to hear they haven't bothered you guys at all. You are?

Hau'oli City

Ever: So what's that?

Muninn: <It's called a Rockruff. It goes "Wan, wan" and it will turn into a horrifying werewolf if you evolve it at night.>

Ever: As Pokedex entries go, I've heard worse.

Muninn: <It's made of rock.>

Ever: Shocking. Think I should try and catch one?

Muninn: <I don't care.>

Ever: -pets Muninn absently-

Muninn: <Cease that at once.>

Ever: Everyone loves pets. Well, except Ephemera sometimes.

Muninn: <Hmph. When do I get another one of those minty things?>

Ever: Patience and fortitude, Muninn. Can I call you Munn? Wait, that's the name of Joe's boyfriend; it'd be weird...Ninn? No, that's those red things from Droon...

Muninn: <You may refer to me as Muninn.>

Ever: That's a mouthful. I'm gonna take a nap.

Muninn: <...Right now? In public?>

Ever: ...Yes?

Muninn: <...How did you kill me?!>

Ever: It's a good question. You're clearly really bad at making me dead.

-he yawns, and curls up-

-there's a pause-

-Muninn nudges him-

Ever: Oh, right.

-he gives Muninn another Pokepuff, which the Mimikyu devours-

Space Tunnels, PMD-B

Doc: -To Maggie- Well...

Chrome Town, PMD-B

-A Buneary is doing some sweeping in the temple when she notices some visitors. Very... familiar visitors-

Senna: Are you guys drunk again?

Doc: -Waving hands- No, no, we're never doing that again.

Cathedral, OU

Ken: -To Vierr- I am an Auric yes.

-Hand glows blue-

In the most literal sense of the term. And I guess you could also call me a researcher of sorts.

-Maggie gives an inquisitive look-

Maggie: <Do I want to know?>

Slightly: <STO-RY-TIME! STO-RY-TIME!>

Soujin: "Mmm..."

"What can you tell me about them?"

-He turns around-

Soujin: "Uh, I'm Soujin."

-A Zubat flies into view-

Orlok: <And I'm Orlok!>

-Mezzo is the first one out of the ship-

Demyx: <Hey, so Xaldin kinda just flew off and took your sister with.>

Mezzo: -sigh- She'll be fine. She knows how to take care of herself.

-she surveys the beach before her, which is made up of black sand; the remnants of a road can be seen further off in the distance-

Mezzo: I don't know where this is, but wherever it is, they have good taste.

Spear Pillar, Past

-Ian looks around some more, and spots the box lying on its side-

Ian: There it is!

-he goes over to the box and picks it up-

Glassman household, Present

-Star is in her room packing a suitcase-

-She also just so happens to be humming Reach Out To The Truth-

-It's been stuck in her head since she woke up. -

-Thanks, guys. -

Iki Town

Locke: Hello, Soujin. I'm Locke.

-pets Orlok-

The Cathedral

Vierr: -eyebrow raise- A researcher? Of Aura, or something else?

Iki Town

Rose: I'm Rose. Nice to meet you.

-Scarlette would introduce herself if she weren't occupied and if I didn't want to split her attention too much before Dune can respond-

Temple of Dibella, PMD-B

Doc: ...And that's how Limna got that staff.

Thresher: I still wish we didn't get fired though. >_>

Doc: That job was crap anyway, and so's the Empire of the Ancients.

Crochet: Oh yeah, we pranked their Emperor and had to run from all those mons he sent to kill us.

You guys didn't mention the Emperor part since we were stuck with that asshole for months in Angela. Unless you did and I forgot.

Senna: ...You mons aren't drunkards... you're mad.

-Despite herself the Buneary still seems to be showing a fair amount of interest in the stories being told-

Cathedral, OU

Ken: To be more exact, I focus on how to make Auric humans and Pokémon stronger. Aura Nexuses, Mega Evolution, the ancient Warlord bonds... but lately, I've been looking into Z-Moves.
