ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

AU - Goldenrod, Mysterious semi-ruined house

-An Oshawott (the AU version of Revol) is sitting in front of a screen, watching a slideshow-

The Oshawott: <So you're telling me that this gal is capable of stealing anything up to and including metaphysical concepts, and she decides to take a bunch of dull grey rocks?>

A mon that bears a striking resemblance to the leader of the Moonfall Organization: <Those aren't just any rocks Double-O Five, it's pitchblende, the mineral form of uranium.>

The Oshawott/Revol/005: <Really? Wow, that's devious.>

Mon!Alpha: <Indeed, luckily she left a clue for us to follow.> -Slides over a flat shiny rock with an archaic symbol carved on top- <We've tracked that symbol to a fighting club in Celadon.>

005: <Looks like that's my next destination then.> -Hammerspaces the rock-

Mon!Alpha: <Good luck Double-O Five.>

005: <Don't need it.> -Smirk, heads out-

Nimbasa

Alli passes by Every, looking at the site of the Ferris Wheel

Alli: Wonder what happened to this...?

Ecruteak Pokémon Center

Hikari: Should we go outside then? -smiles-

Sakura: Oh well... This wasn't what I had in mind, but I guess watching a battle for once will be interesting.

Lavender Town - AU

AU!Lyuri: Whatever.

Rapier: <What's taking Duke so long?> -he sighs and goes search for the others-

AU!Riku: <There he goes...>

Ecruteak

Rawst:Sure.

-He heads outside, Mariana eagerly following-

AU-Unspecified Location

-A man is strapped to a chair in what appears to be an abandoned warehouse. Blood is pouring out of a large gash on his head. Circling him are a trio of men. One holding a bloody baseball bat, one licking a switchblade, and the last in a spotless white suit. The white suit is the first one to speak-

Suit: Who do you think you are, snooping around my little operation here?

???: Who do you think you are smuggling drugs into the region?

-"Suit" slaps him-

Suit: Listen little boy who likes playing detective, I'm a dangerous man. You should've stuck to the playground.

???: Little boy? Really? That the best you could come up with? What about those two over there -he gestures to a pair of mangled mooks at the back. They don't appear to be breathing- Could a little boy do that?

Suit: Hmmph. Impressive, yes. But I'm afraid your efforts are in vain -flicks out a switchblade- Heheh, you're all alone. No one around to help. No one here to hear you scream.

???:-cocks an eyebrow- Who said I was alone?

-A blur of purple suddenly eneters the warehouse, taking out "Suits" two lackeys. A tall figure appears behind "Suit" and grips him in spiky arms. The blur cuts the unknown man's bonds.-

???: Well done Ace, Mycroft. So you wanna know who I am? My name is Des, and I'm one badass futhermuker.

AU!Nimbasa

-Every turns toward Alli- It got destroyed when that Emboar and his army razed Nimbasa. What do you think happened?

Nimbasa

Alli: Right... him... I didn't get to hear much about him, but what I did hear was terrible...

AU!Nimbasa

I see. I had the pleasure of meeting a pair of his generals.

Blobble: <I got to meet him. Lovely fellow; mind stank like a rotting pit.>

Nimbasa

Alli: Ouch... I guess I was lucky, then?

AU!Nimbasa

Mmmm. Yes.

Sandgem Town

- Umbra and co. have arrived.-

Arika: Oog... Smearglecopter is one heck of a ride... @_@

Human!Ammy: Where is everyone?

Balmung: Um...

Lina: Oh?

Balmung: Maybe... Call someone?

Umbra: Good idea. -Calls Tagg-

Lavender

"Wait... so I can, like, control Ho-Oh or something? Or am I way off?"

AU, Castelia

"-on the phone- Yeah, I want everyone in the desert evicted by Monday... I don't give a fuck about that psychotic... Look, just get that road finished, or your fired!"

He hangs up.

AU!Trish enters the scene.

Trish: "Ellis... Why do you always take things so seriously? Geez..."

Trip is usually decked in incredibly fancy clotheware. Trish, however, isn't changed at all.

"-sigh- Look, your a pain in my side. I can just throw you out, and let you rot on the street."

Trish: "And what will Dad say?"

"Nothing, cause I'll bankrupt him too!"

Trish: "-sigh- Alright then..."

She leaves to do something.

Nimbasa

Alli: I see...

She absentmindedly brings her right hand over her left shoulder.

Alli: I suppose there's always someone who's had it worse..

Lavender

Eskay sweatdrops

Eskay: Waaaaay off...

Crewe's Cave

-Picks up-

Hey Umbra.

Chicole Village, Kim’s House: Living Room

-Around the same time as Rex and Kim’s talk...-

Christopher Adams: *sets a final box near some others by the couch* Well, that’s it. Everything is finally all packed up. Now we just need to wait for the moving truck to get here from Pueltown.

Tracy: *looking at all of their belongings sadly* Dad, do we really have to move?

Chris: I’m sorry, honey, but you know our produce hasn’t been selling much lately and Pueltown isn’t exactly known for its plentiful job opportunities. We need to have some reliable income.

Tracy: Oh… *sighs*

Clover: *wraps the girl in a gentle hug*

Chris: Don’t worry, Tracy. The place we’re moving is just like here! It’s got forests, field of flowers, and plenty of Pokémon.

Tracy: *petting Clover’s head* But we have all of that here…

Chris: Ah…w-well…

Rebecca Adams: *coming down from Kim’s room with Glaze on her head; in her hand is a box full of her daughters’ belongings* This house does have a lot of memories for us, dear.

Chris: I can’t help it that my job requires us to move, Rebecca…

Rebecca: I’m not saying that. But I do think we can do something to preserve this home.

Chris: What do you mean?

Rebecca: Why not move in your parents?

Tracy: *perks up* Oh oh! That’s a good idea! Grandma and grandpa are always complaining about the Chatot that makes noise in the morning and the Voltorbs that randomly explode around town!

Chris: Someone should do something about those Voltorb. I suppose I could mention it to them, if it’d make you both happy…though there’s no guarantee they’ll say yes.

Rebecca: *walks over to her husband and gives him a peck on the cheek* Well, you never know until you try.

Chicole Village, Kim’s House: Kim’s Room

Maria: <So, we’re moving today...> *looks over at her companion* <Are you nervous?>

Youko: <Nervous? Why should I be?> *curls up on the floor* <I’ve lived hundreds of years longer than any of you in this house. I’m used to new starts.> *frowns* <But…there is something that’s been bothering me.>

Maria: <What’s that?>

Youko: <Well, your name.>

Maria: <H-huh?> *recoils defensively* <What’s wrong with my name?>

Youko: *sighs* <Let me finish, please. Your name is more human than mine, yes? Maria. I…like it. I kind of wish that my name was more like yours. I mean-> *snorts* <What can I do with a name like Youko?>

Maria: <Oh…you want to change your name? …Well, what kind of name did you want?>

Youko: <Something elegant. Classy. Maybe something like Isabella…or Olivia…or maybe->

Maria: <Sofia?>

Sofia: <…Oh, I think I like that!>

AU!Nimbasa

Nylon: <Oh! Is something wrong with your arm?>

-Every blinks, but translates Nylon for Alli-

Sandgem

Alduin: -Grabs the phone- Alduin the Hydreigon, what's your favorite color? :3 :3 :3

Umbra: Give me thaaaat! -takes the phone back- Um... Hi, Tagg. We were just wondering where to go for Crewe's family thing.

Ecruteak

-They all go outside-

Hikari: So, how do you prefer it to be? 3 vs 3? 2 vs 2 in a Double Battle?

Rawst:3 on 3 is fine with me.

Mariana:-moves over to the field-

Rawst:I guess Mariana is up first.

Lavender Town, near the airship

Fortis: Uh huh! He shouldn't get to have those feathers all to himself!

Forte: Hey! It's my Silver Wing because I have that Soul of Silver! Lugia himself said so!

Ecruteak

-Des follows the group outside-

Des: Let's go Hikari! Show "Berry Boy" who's boss!!!

You gotta love a woman who battles.

Nimbasa

Alli: Oh, that... I got shot there. I've recovered... but I'm going to keep the bandages. Not that I could forget the incident otherwise...

Lavender Town

Salamence: <Hmph!>

Breeze: <He makes a convincing argument.>

-Every, meanwhile, has been hugging Mezzo- I was worried about you...I fell asleep, and everyone was gone when I woke up.

AU!Nimbasa

Shot? -blink- Sorry to hear that.

Ecruteak

Hikari: All right, Axle!

-Hikari then calls out her first Pokémon, a male Roserade-

Sakura: Huh? I thought you preferred Normal types?

Hikari: Well, I DO have a lot of Pokémon with me, and they're frequently training, so why not?

Axle: <Well, look what we have here. This will be pretty easy.>

Lavender Town, near the airship

Yeah, I'm sorry for that. We did get to meet Lugia, though. And he confirmed that Forte is a Soul, like we'd thought.
