ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

At Mistralton

-MGMT shocks Egbert, Riptide and Slouch. Just because he can-

MGMT: ''Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces/While handicapped people/make handicapped faces! I'm an asshole!''

<Zoroark>: <(He's an asshole)>

<Liepard><(He's an asshole!)>

MGMT: I'm an asshole!

<Zoroark>: <(He's a real fucking asshole!)>

MGMT: Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song/Ranting and raving and carrying on/Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong...

-Beat-

MGMT: Nah! I'm an asshole!

<Zoroark>: <(He's an asshole)>

<Liepard><(What an asshole!)>

MGMT: I'm an asshole!

<Liepard><(He's the world biggest asshole!)>

-The duo laugh-

<Zoroark>: <We could do this all day!>

Unite: <Wait, you're telling me...That Nimbasa City has been completely conquered?!>

Farfetch'd Scout: <Yes sir, all of it is now in the hands of that horrible Emboar and his lackeys. I barely got away in time...And look what they did to my leek!>

-The Farfetch'd holds up his leek, which has been snapped in half and partly burned.-

Unite: <Ouch, that's nasty.>

Farfetch'd Scout: <Yeah, now what am I supposed to hit things with?! Jeez...Oh, sir? Why are you wearing a towel?>

-Unite currently has a towel wrapped around him, the Braviary still soaking wet.-

Unite: -Slightly embarrassed.- <Oh, um...My girlfriend just gave me a bath.>

Farfetch'd Scout: <Oh, I see. Women, eh?>

-Unite gives the Farfetch'd a disapproving look.-

Farfetch'd Scout: <...Sorry.>

- The Dream World, Pleasant Forest -

Emolga: <Well, it was nice meeting you, but Whimsicott and I should probably wake up now.>

Female Dream World Shinx: <Oh, okay. But before you do, why not stop by the Tree of Dreams and make a wish? All you need is a berry to place inside it.>

Whimsicott: <A wish?>

Emolga: <A wish for what?>

The Shinx: <Well, most of the Pokémon here just wish to meet the friends they made in the Dream World again.>

Emolga: <Uh... Okay. It would be nice to see you again someday, so I guess we'll go do that.>

Shinx: <Awesome!>

At the Entralink

-Cuddlekins and Stella bring out a map of Unova. Cuddlekins bites her paw, causing it to bleed, before covering Route 16 and Nimbasa with her blood-

.+Stella+: +Undella, Route 14, Black City, Route 16 and now Nimbasa... All stained with blood+

^Cuddlekins^: ^His army has grown.. now all he has to do in lay low and wait to strike... He's too drunk on power now to stop... and he'll destroy everything in his Path in his rage...^

.+Stella+: +Chaos and Madness are sweeping Unova now, I've heard reports from that Hatbox guy that the surrounding cities are starting to consider Napoleon a threat...+

^Cuddlekins^: ^But by the time they do, they'll either be dead or suppressed underneath his tyrannical control...^

-Stella looks around-

.+Stella+: +What happened to that Simipour? Michelle?+

^Cuddlekins^: ^I told her about Sol... And what she has done... I think she's off somewhere trying to soak it in... She was in disbelief that her best friend and, from the original timeline, sister figure could be so cold blooded...^

.+Stella+: +...+

-The two then Analyse the map, predicting on where Napoleon will strike next-

Flare: <So, this "Napoleon" is trying to take over Unova?>

Unite: -Nods.- <Yes. He's already conquered Undella Town, Black City and now Nimbasa.>

Treeo: <Wow. He must have a huge army.>

Unite: <Yep. Our scouts say that he has over ten thousand Pokémon at his disposal. And they're all well trained killers.>

Woolly: <Oh no...>

Unite: <I know, Woolly. He's a nasty piece of work.>

Harriet: <Is...There anything we can do to stop him?>

Unite: <There are a few things we can do. First, we can wait for Artemis and Scolipede to send their troops after him and hope that they manage to win against him. Secondly, we could fight against him ourselves, but I don't really see that working. There's very few of us compared to his army...>

Wulfric: <Yeah, we'd get ripped apart.>

Unite: <Literally.>

Wulfric: <...What?!>

Unite: <You don't want to know.>

Woolly: <Wait, is there a last option?>

Unite: <...Yes, Woolly. There is. The last option...Is Reshiram.>

Woolly: <Oh, yeah! If we can wake her up, she'll help us stop him!>

Flare: <But how are we supposed to do that? It's been a week since we took her to the Drago Spiral Tower, and we still haven't heard anything from her!>

Wulfric: <Well...Maybe she's testing Unite or something?>

Flare: <For what?! Surely he's proven that he's the Hero of Truth by now!>

-Flare scrapes her foot on the ground angrily.-

Flare: <Darn legendaries. They're never there when you really need them...>

Treeo: <Hey, you and Woolly were able to talk to her briefly, right?>

Woolly: <Yeah...>

Unite: <Very briefly.>

Treeo: <Well, why don't we take a trip to the tower and try having another talk with her? We can be there and back in no-time if we ride on Scolipede.>

Unite: <Hmm...> -To Woolly.- <What do you think?>

Woolly: <It's worth a try! I bet Reshiram would appreciate it, too. She must be really lonely...>

Unite: -Smiles.- <...Oh, Woolly. You're so thoughtful.>

-Woolly blushes.-

Woolly: <I try my best...>

-Cuddlekins overhears Unite's group-

^Cuddlekins^: ^Maybe this is where we can come in and help you. Quid pro quo^

.+Stella+: +We know enough about Napoleon to possibly defeat him+

^Cuddlekins^: ^While one of the Tao Dragons may very well have the ability to stop him in his tracks. I think the only mon who can stop Napoleon is Napoleon himself.^

.+Stella+: +If anything, he's going to lie low for a while. He knows that if he takes too many cities at once, he'll be the first target on their hitlist+

^Cuddlekins^: ^If anything, he is building his army in Nimbasa now, to recuperate losses from the battles. Then, when they have dropped their guard or weaken. He'll strike^

.+Stella+: +That is what happened to us...+

^Cuddlekins^: ^He attacked us when we weren't expecting it. Only Stella, Sol and Myself made it out alive...^

.+Stella+: +He killed Antonio and Elvis... And incapacitated Yaminokame...+

^Cuddlekins^: ^And sent us fleeing from our home in fear of our lives...^

- Chase overhears the conversation, and hops over to listen -

Woolly: <What?! That's awful!>

Flare: <Wow. He Is a nasty piece of work.>

Wulfric: <Yeah...>

Unite: <Ooh, that's really rough, guys. Sorry you had to go through that.

Anyway, the gist of it is that if we let Napoleon try to take over Unova, he'll eventually go mad and end up ruining everything. Hmm...>

-Unite pauses to think.-

Unite: <...Are you sure that will work? I really don't want this guy taking over Unova. If he were in charge, things would likely be 'even worse than they are with Scolipede and Liepard running things. And we'd rather not have that.>

-Cuddlekins Nods-

^Cuddlekins^: ^Yaminokame said that that will always be the case for Napoleon, and besides, it wouldn't surprise me if his own army turns on him at the end...^

.+Stella+: +Truth be told, he could end up being our greatest indirect ally. As he's disposing of their forces throughout Unova, all we have to do is collect the oppressed to fight for the resistance and who knows, we might just have an army as big as his. In other words, he does the work, we reap the benefits+

^Cuddlekins^: ^If that makes sense to you guys.^

Unite: <Well...Yeah, I guess.>

-Unite sighs.-

Unite: <Still, I would rather like to deal with him sooner rather than later. Every day he's alive means more innocent people and Pokémon dying by the hand of him and his army. And frankly, I think another have died already.>

-Unite balls his wing into a fist, clenching it tightly.-

Unite: <Which is why I need Reshiram's help. With her, we can put an end to all this and stop all the needless death. She...May not be able to bring your friends back, but...She can help us protect the ones will still have.>

-Unite gazes at Woolly as he says this. Woolly, naturally, is touched by this.-

Unite: <So...I'm going to go to Dragon Spiral. I'm going to do whatever it takes to convince Reshiram to help me. And then...Maybe we can end this war, once and for all.>

Chase: (hops over) <Well, good luck with that. Also, I'd like to inform that we have received a message from some of our members out in the field that Beheeyem has managed to find the Dark Stone.> (smiles) <It may appear that things are starting to look up for us.>

-Cuddlekins looks up to the moon-

^Cuddlekins^: ^There will be a time when she will be needed, that time is not now however...^

.+Stella+: +What do you mean 'Kins?+

^Cuddlekins^: ^I sense that there is a great danger up ahead in the road... Greater than them, greater than him... A bigger threat to our very existence than Napoleon... A demon being unleashed upon us if you will^

.+Stella+: +I don't know whether to be confused or scared right now 'Kins.+

^Cuddlekins^: ^But I won't stop you, go and try to waken her. Maybe she will come to our aid...^

Unite: <Alright, I'll do my- Wait, what?! Port- I mean, Beeheeyem found the Dark Stone?!>

Wulfric: <The Dark Stone?! Does that mean-?>

Woolly: <We might be able to get Zekrom's help, too?>

Unite: <...Heh.>

-Unite smirks.-

Unite: <Awesome. With both of the Tao Dragon's on our side...Ha! Nobody will be able to stop us now!>

Flare: <If we can manage to wake them, that is.>

Unite: <...Well, yeah...>

Harriet: <But to wake Zekrom, we need a Hero of Ideals, don't we?>

Treeo: <Oh yeah, we do!>

Woolly: <So...How are we supposed to find out who the Hero of Ideals is?>

The Other Day, or perhaps not

-Blobble looks around at the Pokemon now surrounding him, Whirl, Wraith, and Every-

We're outmatched here....

Blobble: <You know, you may think I'm perfect. Mostly, I am. But, honestly, even the most powerful of us have their flaws. For example, I must confess to a grievous lack of speed in most departments.>

Random Pokemon: <Do you have a point?>

Blobble: <Always. Anyway, my Trainer decided to remedy this, and gave me a certain useful item, which I believe is called a Quick Claw. Under certain circumstances, it gives me an incredible boost of speed, allowing me to strike first against far faster enemies.>

<So, what I suppose I'm trying to say is....bye.>

-Blobble lets off a huge explosion of light, then grabs me with psychic energy-

Whirl: <You're retreating? You—>

Blobble: <Whirl, since I met you, I've thought you were an idiot. For once in my life I'd like to be wrong!>

Whirl: <....Fine.> -recalls Wraith and himself, while Blobble darts off with incredible speed back to the Entralink-

Chase: <... It is good to know that not all of the legendary Pokémon have disappeared from this world.>

- Meanwhile, somewhere else... -

... Good thing I have so many berries with me, even if it is not nearly as many as I had grown back in the original timeline.

In it's current state, I couldn't really grow as many more berries back in Sinnoh...

... The berries I had back in the original timeline will probably return to my inventory once Dialga and Celebi have been freed from Cyrus' control and everything returns to normal.

That probably also includes the berries that have already been eaten.

... This whole timeline thing can be pretty confusing sometimes.

Unite: <Yeah, it's nice to know that there are still some legends about. And I'm going to do everything I can to try to get them to help us.

Okay then, we're off to the Dragon Spiral Tower. Tell our Leader that we'll be back soon.>

-Unite salutes with his wing.-

Woolly: <We'll do our best to try and wake Reshiram up! Promise!>

-Woolly salutes, too. Unite can't help but chuckle at this.-

Unite: <Well, there's no doubt about it now, Woolly. You're part of the Resistance too, now.>

Woolly: <Oh, yeah! We never officially joined, did we?>

Flare: <Well, I wouldn't say we joined, more like "got caught up in this whole mess.">

Unite: <Well, that's one way of putting it. Anyway, let's get going already! We have a Dragon to wake!>

Chase: (nods) <Yes, I'll be sure to tell our leader. I wish you luck, we hope you succeed. For the sake of Unova, and people and Pokémon everywhere.>

-Blobble reenters the Entralink, the speed boost from his Quick Claw worn off-

(To himself) <And that's the second time I've ended up saving my Trainer's nonexistant tail...>

-unceremoniously drops me on the grass, then recalls himself-

Unite: <Thank you, Cha- I mean, Unfezant. Why can we never get it right?>

-Woolly just shrugs.-

Treeo: <'Kay, everymon get on Scolipede, then. Well, those of us who can't fly, that is.>

-Doing as they're told, Woolly, Flare and Wulfric climb on Scolipede, with Treeo sitting up front.-

Scolipede: <Um...Treeo?>

Treeo: <Yeah?>

Scolipede: <I was wondering...Do you think...You could give me a name?>

Treeo: <A name?>

Scolipede: <Yeah. You all have names. Can't I have one, too?>

Treeo: <...Okay, I'll try and think of one for you.>

Scolipede: <Cool.>

Flare: <Hey, what's the hold up?!>

Treeo: <Sorry! Sorry...Let's go Scolipede, YAH!>

-Treeo's Scolipede roars loudly as it scurries away, heading off towards the tower.-

- Somewhere -

... This isn't the only world I've been to.

In addition to my own world, I've also been to the Distortion World, that Pokémon only world, this messed up alternate timeline...

... I bet there are probably even more worlds out there.

A multiverse.

... I doubt there are any worlds quite like the one in this timeline, but there might be others that bear similarities.

... Or should I say, that the world created from the alteration of the timeline bears similarities to other worlds that were already existing before.

... Good thing I like thinking about things so much, since there is not much else I can do to keep myself entertained.

DS is talking like a godly entity thingy o-o.

Uh... What? No, DS is just trying to keep herself sane while she is... Well, I'll reveal where she is and what she is trying to do later on.

- At the castle -

- Artemis is receiving a massage from Mira -

Artemis: <Urgh... So many things are going wrong for us... The Zoroark being exposed... Prisoners having escaped... Not to mention that stupid pig traitor... It is all making me so tense...>

Mira: <Do not worry, my queen. I am here for you.>

Artemis: <Thanks, Mienshao... You're the best.>

-Deep in the bowels of Tagg's mind-

AU!Tagg: -Is watching a film of OT!Tagg's life- Funny, apart from what happened in Hoenn and Sinnoh our lives pretty much remained the same. Seriously, how boring are we?

-Sighs-

I'll admit I'm a bit jealous of you though.

OT!Tagg: Why's that?

AU!Tagg: -Looks down- You've got so many friends and did so many things in that other timeline, the original timeline. What's going to happen to me once this is over? Will I just end up being subsumed by you completely, locked inside my own mind forever? And then there's the others, what'll happen to them once that bastard Cyrus is taken care of? Not to mention our guy, since he's our responsibility to take out.

OT!Tagg: I don't know, I honestly don't know. The only thing we can do is try to set things right the best we can.

AU!Tagg: I suppose so.

-Groans-
