ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

That's certainly true. You can see almost all of Unova from here.

...I don't want to be here anymore. It's safe, but everyone else is out there fighting this. I want to be part of that... Even like this...

-Tries his best to just ignore everything wrong with his body at the moment-

Yeah. I wonder if we could see my home from here...

...I wonder what's happening there now. Probably won't be long before Napoleon tries to take it...

-Dana follows him, intent on making friends. I decide she can't cause too much havoc with Steven back there, so I let her go-

-while Steven is still rummaging around- This room used to be the bridge, before we got here. Steven moved most of the pre-existing equipment up agains the walls to give himself more space.

Castelia's probably visible from here. Nimbasa isn't in the way any more...

He'll probably want to conquer the rest of Unova first. Castelia's sort of a detour. Besides, if he's going the way I think he is, he's going to reach Scolipede and Liepard first. I don't think they'll be so pleased with him, do you?

Night.

Going to bed now.

Good night.

Yeah, probably. Stupid Napoleon...if it wasn't for him none of this would have happened.

But on the other hand, if it wasn't for him I would never have been able to meet you again and get my memories back...

-sigh-

Cool.

-At the Nido Colony...-

Roa: -immediately snaps to attention. She opens her mouth, then hesitates, remembering what Vinollo said on the day she joined the Owsla: trust, but verify- <I'm sorry sir, but would you mind lifting your left leg? I trust you and am willing to accept the assignment, but was given an instruction a short while ago to verify my first assignment.>

Steven: -from behind the array- So, how do you know Thomas?

Hm...well, hopefully this can be fixed long before it becomes an issue.

Sootopolis City

Ace Trainer: Did you hear the rumors? Pacifidlog has been flooded or bombed or something...

Bug Catcher: I don't know what to think... Juan hasn't been seen lately, and the internet thinks he's a Pokémon or something?

Swimmer: Think anything will-

Sootopolis Elder: -via amplification- ATTENTION! SOOTOPOLIS CITY IS BEING APPROACHED BY A FORCE OF UNKNOWN INTENT. IN THE ABSENCE OF JUAN, I SHALL BE ASSUMING COMMAND OF ALL GYM TRAINERS. MARIANA-RANK TRAINERS ARE HEREBY ORDERED TO DEFEND THE SUBMERGED ENTRANCE. AIRSPACE IS CLOSED TO ENTRY, AND ALL TRAINERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTACK ANY AERIAL INVADERS.

Swimmer: ... This is serious!

Waters Nearby, Aboard the Flagship

Lelouch: <So, tell me... have you retained control of the city?>

"Juan": <As if! They need to do something about those folk unmasking us already... everyone's suspicious now!>

Lelouch: <Then you are useless now... excuse me, I have a city to take.>

-dives into the sea, clutching a torpedo-

-is very confused for a moment, then realizes who he's probably talking about-

Oh! Uh, we're old friends.

-turns to Wolf-

I thought you said Wolf was your real name!

It's my last name.

And I told you not to call me that.

Steven: -pops his head out- Would you prefer Tommy?

-grumbles- Thomas is fine.

Steven: -comes back out, carrying a television set- I thought so.

Andes — <Smart, eh?>

-the male carefully leans to the side to let some light enter the nest, and exposes his branded left leg higher-

Andes (chuckles) — <It's this ir a fight, but they've told me you're pretty good at those.> — moves to the side — <This Snubbull will be your provider tomorrow.>

Snubbul (peeks in) — <Oh hai!> — raises a paw.

Andes — <Meh...> — shakes head — <Feel free to ask to him for any berries or herbs that you think you might need for your mission. He will brief you about its purpose tomorrow, as even now we are not sure ourselves.>

-sits-

Andes — <Any questions?>

Near Silent's House

-Pokéteco lands at the backyard, and Maekrite comes out of the house-

Maekrite — <What's up?>

Pokéteco — <I need to talk to Silent.> — turns to the colony — <The leaders fear an attack and they realize that they don't know what humans to protect in the city...>

-Maekrite thinks for a moment-

Maekrite — <Silent would know better, but he is busy. Still... let's go ask...>

Me either. I tried to help out with capturing the Zoroark that were impersonating the Gym leaders, but someone beat me to it.

... Oh. So that's what you meant.

-Dana walks by Steven's ankles cheerfully, believing him to be her new friend-

-I reach down to lift her back to my shoulder then take the TV set and look at Wolf-

A little help?

-At the Nido colony-

Roa: -smiles and sits back, satisfied- <Thank you, sir. Just to be clear, the mission is to infiltrate the city for some unknown purpose?>

Yeah, I really hope so.

When we fix everything, do you think we'll remember what happened in this timeline?

...Do you want to come with me, Star? Maybe we could find our way together?

-Glances around to see if Sunny heard that-

-helps Crewe with the TV-

Thanks, Steven.

Steven: No problem. Close the door on your way out.

I don't know. I mean, we didn't remember the original timeline when we came here...

-sigh-

There are many memories of this timeline I could do without. But...the thought of us forgetting about each other scares me.

Thank you!

Tweedle, mind flying back to the room and making sure it isn't destroyed?

Tweedle: Of course not, Miss Trainer.

-she takes off and flies back towards the room, while I follow more slowly with Wolf-

So. Now you know my name.
