ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Team Iris arrives at the Dojo-

Krom: -looks inside- <Uh-oh. We've got trouble.>

Treasure Town

Jazz is finally done waiting. Only took about five hours.

Jazz: <Oh, hey there, Chrome. Where's Lina?>

Amp Plains

Pankaja: Oh no! Will I get in trouble?! ++(O.O;)++

Treasure Town

Casanova!Eevee: -is intentionally ignoring Stella at this point to pique interest-

Aww, why so nervous, miss? -sniffs Forte-

Still Treasure Town

Abigail: Just... ugh. Fine, since you can see so much of me for some reason. Say you're right, what am I supposed to do? Just wait around helplessly until he wanders by?!

I don't see why I can't just go and help him wherever he is... He's gotta be having more fun than me...

Marowak Dojo

Eowyn: Trouble? Where?

Amp: I wanna beat it up!

Near Jazz

Chrome: She's likely still looking for Umbra. I haven't found her yet, though...

Treasure Town, cuddlepile

Forte: <Um... um... um...>

Icicle: <Oh, she's just shy around boys.>

Stella: <Hey! Pay attention to me!>

-Is examining the mission board again after waiting for the pain to fade off-

Hm...

What's the markup for missions?

Treasure Town

Jazz, due to having been bored out of her mind, replies to the Metagross as such:

Jazz: <Well, I guess I could help you find her. Not like I have anything better to do.>

She really doesn't have anything better to do.

Cuddlepile

Mix: (to Icicle) <You should set her up on a date. :3>

Krom: <Don't go rushing in there, Amp. Look.> -the peek inside-

-An Ursaring is sitting at the spot that would normally be occupied by the head of the Dojo, throwing objects at cowering residents-

Krom: <That Ursaring has given us trouble in the past. He's a brute named Geriba. This is out of character for him, though. He's usually pretty small-time.>

Treasure Town: Hardware Store

Spinda!Rex: <Do you have any centrifuges for sale?>

Onix: <I don't know what a centrifuge is! All we sell here are rocks! Get it? It's literally hard wear!>

Spinda!Rex: <... ... ...>

Treasure Town: Metalworks

Spinda!Rex: <Hey, where might I find a centrifuge?>

Magnemite: <A what?>

Spinda!Rex: <Oh, never mind.>

Treasure Town: Mysterious Laboratory

Spinda!Rex: <Do you have any centrifuges on hand?>

Porygon: <YOUR REQUEST CANNOT BE MET AT THIS TIME>

Spinda!Rex: <This is more complicated than I thought...>

No, just don't mention them again.

Zangoose: We're there~!

Seviper: Zangoose my love! We shall be together forever!

Zangoose: But father will never allow it!

Seviper: Then we shall abscond together!

-They do so-

That was rather sappy. Mission complete.

Mistralton - PEFE Branch Office - Electronics Lab

-The sounds of the egg cracking grow more frequent-

<Andre: "What's this egg supposed to become again?">

<Lardna: "A Zorua...">

<Andre: "... Are they any good at fighting?">

<Pepper: " ANDRE! ">

<Andre: "What? It was a question!">

-Oh Arceus, this is really happening now? >_<-

-Parts of the egg begin to fall off and a few faint noises can be heard-

<Zoltan: "Will he want to play with me?">

<Bottles: "I wonder if he'll be able to find any notes...?">

<Pepper: "You know, that Pokemon could be a female...">

<Lardna: "Maybe, but the odds say it's going to be a male.">

<Pepper: "Shame that you had to defy those odds! I'd think I'd like you more if you didn't!" >_> >

-Blargh, I'm not ready for this... I got my Drilbur and Zoroark observations sidetracked by that accursed EEG. And this next week is going to utterly suck. How in the heck am I going to be able to look after another kid?! Let alone one that's blind and dependent on us for safety!

Ugh... I might as well call up Umbra and tell him to say sorry for being a horrible caretaker to Reynard for me right no—

-And the egg finally breaks, revealing the blind form of a young Zorua with the shorter fur associated with a newly hatched or born individual-

-In a soft, somewhat whining tone-

<NewlyHatched!Zorua: "Rua! Rua!">

<Zoltan: "Aww! ... But why is he all wet?">

<Lardna: "You probably don't remember it, but you were like that when you hatched too.">

<Pepper: "How are you so sure it's a-">

<Lardna: "It's a he. Trust me, it's a bit easier to tell with mammals.">

-Drawing near-

-... I honestly have no idea how this is going to work out...-

"H-Hey there, little guy... Are you doing alright?"

-Still curled up in a certain fire-type's arms-

<NewlyHatched!Zorua: "Zo! Zorua!">

"Uh... Welcome to life... It's a bit hard and unfair sometimes... But it's full of wonderful parts to it too... Parts I hope you'll come to enjoy for yourself..."

-... Okay, I probably could have worded that better, but it's the thought that counts, right?-

"Come on, let's get you dried off before you get sick..."

-Besides... We'll find a way to pull through... We always do...-

Marowak Dojo

Eowyn: -growls- Meanie!

Amp: Small-time?

Near Jazz

Chrome: OK, then. -heads off-

OU, PEFE HQ

Reynard: -gets the feeling he missed something very important-

Krom: <Stealing petty items, scaring young Rescue Teams, and the like.>

Marowak Dojo

Amp: Oh.

...

When do we beat him up? :3

Near Chrome

Jazz heads off in the same general direction as Chrome. Whether it was north, south, or even southeast is entirely up to interpretation. All I can tell you is, Jazz turned left to face Chrome when spoken to.

Krom: -checks the rest of the Dojo- <It looks like he's got a small band of thugs in there with him. We'll need to take them out, and then head on up to Geriba. Frederick, run interference. If someone's getting too close to us, take them down. Sol, Soiree, you're on point. Eowyn, Amp, and I will clean up behind you.>

Amp Plains

Pankaja: Yay! ++(^_^)++

...oh, did we get a reward?

Treasure Town, Cuddlepile

Casanova!Eevee: Aw, poor dear...

Hmm... oh, I know~! I'll be at the Spinda Café tonight at moonrise. See you there?

-The Eevee winks while casting a second Attract for good measure, then trots off to groom-

Treasure Town, cuddlepile

Forte: <...>

Icicle: <Are you okay?>

Forte: <That was weird...>

Katie: <That was...weird.> -doesn't seem to notice the Attract-

Marowak Dojo

Eowyn: OK!

- The two kids take up fighting stances-

Yep, a TM Attract.

And some cash.

-Offers the money to Pankaja-

Treasure Town, cuddlepile

Forte: <It felt all funny to look at him... I think he was trying to use Attract on me, but it didn't work right...>

Katie: <Oh, is that what that is?>

-Team Iris enters the dojo-
