ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Waiting on Ship 12, Tangent.

- Somewhere -

I wonder if any of my friends are thinking about me?

... Probably not.

They're probably busy having gotten involved in all sorts of battles requiring their full attention.

... I hope they'll be all right.

...

- Sighs, and continues walking -

-looks around-

Oh, right, the resistance was staying at a Cubone tribe in Sinnoh for a little bit after Nimbasa fell.

-holds Every's hand and gasps as she exits Tracer's house-

...

What happened here?

(To Mezzo) I assume it had something to do with whoever's in charge of invading Kanto.

-lets out Blobble and Nylon-

Nylon, come with me. We're going to see if any of them are still alive.

Blobble: <And me?>

If you see or detect anyone allied with whoever did this...wipe them off the map.

-Comes out of a space tunnel about a few blocks away from Tracer's house-

And here we ar-

-Looks at the plain pandemonium unfolding in front of me-

Holy shit. The pictures simply don't give it justice.

-An invasion fleet starts making its way towards Pallet Town-

...So the Entralink connects to it?

Wolf, I'm pretty sure they fired a Rock Tomb at us.

Yeah, That's how we got there, from a tunnel in Nimbasa.

Aurora, see if you can sense anyone still alive, Crescent and Naida, keep a lookout for any of the invaders. Zero you're with me.

All:<Got it.>

Oh, that's unusual.

So, uh... Elder Marowak... may we pass through here?

@Crewe: Awwww.... I'll try to get things ready by tomorrow tops then. Also, friggin' Homestuck.

Goldenrod Nidocave

Rodríguez — We're in! — to the mic — Hello? PEFE?

Orenda — Hope the connection is lasting long enough... Timbú, how are the Drifloon-operated cameras doing?

Timbú (watching on a screen) — We're getting a clean view of the city for the moment... What the heck? The radio tower antenna... is gone!

Rodríguez — Anyone listening to us there? Dr. Tagg...? — operates a dial

Northern Goldenrod

-Under the guise of being a couple of abandoned Pokémon, an Owsla Nidorino and his partner Venonat manage to hide in a bus cabin making an old man company, while they observe a house at the other side of the street, where they have identified their target lives-

Rt.34

-Rize arranges what is left of the Army-

Rize — <What are our loses?>

Nidorina #1 — <Well... really really high. Like, three quarters.>

Nidorina #2 — <And we hear that the situation in the city is dire. Things get destroyed and no one sees anything...>

Wooper — <Lieutenant, I need to inform to the Colony our next step. Are you planning on returning to the Colony via the mountains?>

-Rize takes a look at the city and thinks for a moment-

Rize (points a paw to the city) — <No. We'll march in two groups into the city in one hour.>

"What?"

"We're gonna end killed!"

"It has to be done then!"

-Rize turns his head to the groups-

Rize — <Listen everyone! Surely the army has agents... and the Owsla too undercover in the city, trying to fetch information about this invader.> — paces around — <We must go in and thrash around the city long enough to force them go reveal themselves so our Colony can gather information.>

Nidorina #2 — <What are the plans, a hit-and-run?>

Rize — <Something like this. We'll make it fun. The first group will go in peacefully and will gather under the Magnet Train rail. Frolic around, do what Nidos do.> — raises an ear — <Then the second group will march into the city under the pretense of attacking the first one.>

"...Oh?"

"They'd be confused?"

"Makes sense. They would take us for a roaming or feral group."

Rize — <In the turmoil, gather as much information as you can, check who is trying to stop us and how, and then make hasty retreats to the National Park and to Silent's house. Surely there will be hardened troops waiting for us there. All saddle up then!>

-The Nidorans begin removing their armors and bathing in mud to appear dirty-

Yeah, they shot a random Rock Tomb at the sub already

PEFE HQ

Smashing Pokéballs? That's...

-recalls news of /b/tards catching the Zoroark-

Oh! a supply line I hadn't thought about! We should see how we can... Oh no, he's gotta be on their list if they know him! Who's still here-

-notices Tagg, Tarcer, and Luke have gone already-

Entralink Tunnel

Hydreigon Marrow: -facebones- Soooo tempting to just smash... but you know better by now.

<Can I help you?>

We'd like to leave the Entralink. Don't really care where we end up so long as we can access the rest of the world from there.

Oops, missed that.

-The submarine is rocked by the attack.-

Dammit!

Blue: Return fire!

-My Ampharos, and Blue's Exeggutor attack the ship with Thunder and Bullet Seed.-

- Somewhere in Unova -

- Sparq has just recharged the X-transceiver for HotStuff -

Sparq: <There we go! Fully charged!>

HotStuff: <Thanks, Sparq. We may need this watch-phone thing to find those trainers, even if it has not done anything useful for us so far.>

Sparq: <... It looks good on you, though.>

- They continue their search -

Would hitting the boat break the illusion or just hitting Hecate?

-Katan fires a Razor Wind at the ship, then runs inside-

-meanwhile, I'm already on my feet-

Epona, Hecate, come with me. Tweedle, watch the kids. Ashes, Dana, behave. We'll be back soon.

-Katan bursts in as we're leaving, then realizes he's late and just follows us up-

-has been checking the people and mons attached to the crosses-

-not one is still alive...-

Ship 12

-the crew is surprised when the rocks disappear, leaving a CLANG!-

-then they quickly duck as the attacks strike-

Masquerain: <Told you someone's there!> -fires a Swift volley into the Illusion-

Entralink Tunnel

Hydreigon Marrow: <Fine, fine... Fiend!>

-a Golbat flies into the tunnel-

Golbat: <Yes?>

Hydreigon Marrow: <Take these humans to a tunnel. I dunno, that Hoenn island one.>

-Golbat flies back into the cavern-

Golbat: <Come on, then.>

Huh? Hoenn?

Err... okay.

-Star and I follow behind the "fiend" Golbat-

-Aurora tries to sense anybody still alive, but finds none-

Goldenrod Tunnel

-Bill has lead us back to the Manhole cover that he went through to get into the Space Tunnel. The occasional voice can be heard coming from above.-

Bill: <Oh no! They must have found the manhole!>

Treeo: <Looks like we'll be making quite the entrance then.>

...Guys.

-Everyone starts paying attention to me.-

These Pokémon aren't playing by the rules. If they attack you, they WILL try and kill you. So we're going to have to fight dirty.

I want you to do anything and everything you can to keep yourselves alive. I don't care if it's dirty or dishonest, we're talking about life and death, here.

Now, before we go up there, I just want to tell you that I won't blame a single one of you if you want to leave and head back. You shouldn't have to risk your lives for something like this if you don't want too...

Lake: <Luke. We're not going to leave you.>

Woolly: <We don't care if we might die...We're going to do this together!>

Flare: <Jeez, haven't we had this conversation before? How many times do we have to tell you the same thing!>

Unite: <Yeah. We ain't leaving you Luke.>

Stratus: <Not ever!>

Cinder: <The only way they could make me leave is if they kill me! And that won't be happening any time soon!>

Treeo: <And even if they did...We're not going down without a fight!>

Harriet: <Yeah, we're all in this togther!>

Bill: <We sure are!>

...Thanks, everyone. Now, Stratus? If you would care to do the honors?

-Stratus smiles, then flies straight up, knocking the manhole cover flying as he emerges.-

<"Huh?">

<"What the-?!">

<"Where did that Dragonite come from?!">

<"Get him!">

Stratus: <I don't think so!>

-Stratus flaps his wings hard, conjuring up an intense hurricane that sends the guards flying away.-

<"WAAAAAAAA Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!">

GO, GO, GO!

-My Pokémon all hurry and climb out of the manhole, staying alert for possible sneak attacks.-

Bill! Where's Crowley?!

Bill: <He's stuck at the Radio tower!>

Well I guess that's where we're heading. Let's go!

-We head off for the tower.-

Just Hecate, I think.

What about Homestuck, Silent?

-The two Gyarados start attacking with Dragon Rage, while Ampharos and Exeggutor continue their volleying.-

-A few blocks from the house, seeing smoke billow on the horizon and the general carnage strewn about the street-

"..."

<Vlad: "Why? Why would anyone do this?">

<Jodie: "Hey! No fair! We're supposed to be the ones who get to destroy everything!">

"..."

<Milo: "... Are you okay, Tracer?">

_______________

-In the house-

<???: "Ei! Kto tam?!">

_______________

-In the space tunnels leading to the washing machine-

<Nathan: "Oh great, this again...">

<Zoe: "At least we've got everyone's Pokeballs so that way we'll make it through the last stretch...">

_______________

-On the shores near Pallet Town-

-A lone figure walks onto the beach-

???: "..."

_______________

-Somewhere in Goldenrod City-

<Serperior: "What is this that I'm hearing about sustained resistance? Who's opposing us?">

<Garchomp: "It appears to consist primarily of a murder of Murkrow and some Nidos holed up at the Radio Tower.">

<Serperior: "Why on earth would they attempt that? Is there any use for that structure beyond a vantage point anymore?">

<Garchomp: "How did you wish to handle this, General?">

<Serperior: "Order a final assault on the tower. If the defenders cannot be subdued or otherwise convinced to surrender, shut down the surrounding streets and destroy the structure. There is no way that this should have taken this long...">

<Garchomp: "I see, General. Anything else I should be aware of?">

<Serperior: "Inform me if the assault fails. If the tower needs to be destroyed, I wish to preside over it.">

-Hecates fires Night Daze, Epona uses Fire Blast, and Katan uses Razor Wind. I mutter about not having a slingshot again-
