ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Yeah. Maybe we should've stayed with everyone else.

-Wonders where Ur ended up in this timeline-

Dana: <I'm Dana! Are you Trainer's friend?>

-Ashes gets bored and tackles Hermes, who wriggles out and runs down the hallway, Ashes chasing him and Tweedle watching them from my shoulder-

Yeah, that would probably have been—

-sees Hermes-

A Furret?

Unite: -To Felis.- <...Er...We sort of...Rigged it into a gigantic trap for Napoleon. Well, the Pokémon there did, at least.>

-On the outskirts of Castellia-

<Sawbuck: "Sir, we're getting strange readings from Castellia up ahead!">

<Napoleon: "Oh? What sort?">

<Clover: "There's a ton of Obscura activity in there, sir...">

<Napoleon: "Hmm... So the locals are up to something... No matter, have some battalions test the water for the rest of us.">

<Clover: "Do we inform them of the risks, sir?">

<Napoleon: "Of course not! Just send them in!">

<Sawbuck: "... Yes, sir.">

-On a major street, Doze and Trace are marching a large group of Pokemon southward-

<Trace: "Heh heh heh... Whenever those rats show themselves, deal with them as you see fit!">

<Doze: "Hey! I resent that!">

<Trace: "Uh... No offense, Doze...">

<Doze: "Wait, why haven't we run into anyone yet?">

<???: "Because of this.">

<Trace: "Wait, wh-">

<Doze: "Show yours-">

-A massive series of explosions rip through the street, reducing the pavement and building facades along the street to rubble-

-As the smoke clears-

-While bleeding severely-

<Doze: "Nngh... Trace? Are you okay, buddy?">

-The motionless form of Trace can be seen nearby-

<Doze: "Ugh... Come on... We need to make it... To see Unova under us... Together...">

-Doze lapses out of consciousness-

-Hermes ducks behind Every, and Ashes skids to a stop just in front of Every-

Hermes: <Thanks! I'm Hermes! That's Ashes.>

Ashes: <Hiya! Who're you?>

Erm...hello. I'm Every. Nice to meet you.

Whose Pokémon are these? They don't look familiar.

Felis: <...Wow. That's the first time I've seen anyone in this entire conflict do anything useful.>

Yeah. My name's Straw. i'm a Pokemon Ranger.

-Zero walks up behind me-

Zero:<Who's this?>

Dana, Crewe's Rattata.

Zero:<Who's Crewe?>

Oh, that's right you haven't gotten your memory back yet.

Zero:<I'm still not convinced there's another timeline where I was mute.>

I'm sure you'll remember eventually.

Hermes: <... You can understand us?>

Ashes: <Well no duh! Everyone we've met recently can understand us! Maybe everyone can!>

Hermes: <But Steven can't understand us...>

Ashes: <Whatever. Anyway, we're Helen's Pokemon!>

Hermes: <Ashes, they might be one of those people that call her that other name... Y'know, the one the new guys use.>

Ashes: <Um... Oh yeah! Crewe! We're Crewe's Pokemon!>

Dana: -runs over and sniffs Zero- <Hi!>

Unite: <...Well, it's not like I've seen YOU doing anything since you got here.>

Flare: <Ooh, burn!>

Treeo: <Oh boy, this could be bad.>

Harriet: <"Could be bad?" More like "Will be bad...">

You're Crewe's mons?

I wonder if they're around in the original timeline too?

Zero:<Hi there!>

-Zero changes into a Rattata-

Zero<Now we're both Rattata!>

Oh, I should have guessed. Crewe has so many mons that it's hard to keep track of them all.

Wait a sec. Her name is Helen?

Felis: <In case you forgot, our whole plan here was to bide our time until our enemies destroyed each other. I've been doing just that. And what have you been off doing? Being a target, perhaps?>

Hey Penti. I am worried about the pokemon in this timeline. If we never met some of them bad things would happen to them.

-has so many negative feelings being thrown at my face like a baseball from thoughts about timeline change effecting the pokemon-

Dana: <Ooh! I like you!>

Ashes: <Yep! She's over there with another stranger.> -points down the hall towards me and Straw-

...Straw's here too?

-heads over-

-Hermes and Ashes follow Every, batting at each other-

Unite: <...I've been off helping people. It was partly due to us that Kanto and Johto aren't under Scolermis' control right now.>

-sees Every-

Hi Every!

Hey Straw. You're here too?

-follows Every down the hall-

Felis: <Oh, what a hero. Now, how is "saving" regions miles away supposed to help here? In case you forgot, while you were off playing in Kanto, Napoleon's been rampaging all over. Really, if you care so much, I'd think you could at least try to defend your home.>

Yeah. What is this sub for anyway?

...No idea.

Crewe? Do you know?
