ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Sure, got somewhere in mind?

Unova League

Jacob: -Is quiet... thinking-

-Various scenes flash though his head-

-Battling on the streets of Castelia as a distraction-

-Meeting a certain gloved friend after glomping a Gardevoir on her birthday-

-A giant ice robot-

-Forgiveness-

-A massive mindscrew of a day-

-A movie with friends-

-A moment he'd rather not remember-

-Being dragged up a set of stairs-

-Silence-

-Returning to find himself too late-

-Running-

-Returning-

-Fighting-

-Running again-

-Returning again-

-Setting things straight and then a his first loss-

-He sighs-

"So much... and yet so little time has passed." -Continues petting Sylva-

"And to think... Most of them hated me at first. Heh. Heheh."

Desert Resort

Dune: Alright Cun, go long!

-Dune throws the tennis ball as hard as he can. Cun Annwn goes running after it at full tilt.-

Garuda: <Assessment: Despite his young age, Subject Cun Annwn is remarkably fast.>

Ajax: <I agree. He runs across that sand like he was born to.>

-Cun returns to Dune with something in his mouth. He drops it in the sand.-

Dune: Um, Cun, this isn't a tennis ball. This is a Hyper Potion. Why don't you try again?

-Cun Annwn runs back off into the desert.-

Unova League

Alyssa: <Um... I kinda don't know anywhere to go... I've just been kinda going where everyone else is...>

Yeah, that's pretty much what I've been doing too... :/

Trip stares at the entry for the Elite Four.

"Alright... Kyle, Otohime, Dali, Scrapper, Bizmo... and Karin Alright, I think I'm good to go."

Unova League

Alyssa: <...Well, um... do you have any ideas where to go...?>

Unova League

Des goes over and sits next to Jacob.

"Reminiscin' much? -chuckle-"

Not really...

Unova League

Alyssa: <Well... um... I guess we could just... walk around until we find something...?>

Sounds good.

Unova League

Dopants: -awake and free for anything-

Desert Resort

Dune: No Cun, that's an Ultra Ball. But you're getting closer.

Rill: <So Garuda, you don't seem so excited about returning home. I mean, you've been away for, what, three and a half years?>

Garuda: <Explanation: Garuda is now imprinted on the director. Where ever he goes is my home, whoever he protects, I protect. He is my director, and until the day he decides to relinquish his title, it shall be so.>

Rill: <Wow, that's really heavy.>

-Meanwhile, not too far away-

Flanagan: <Now 'and ova th' goods, an' no one gets their plates smashed.>

Random Scraggy: <U-um, okay... just please tell your big friend not to smash me...>

Big Dom: <THIS IS MERELY RECOMPENSE FOR YOUR UNWARRANTED ASSAULT OF OUR TEAMMATE.>

Hildr: <Yeah, you big meanie!>

Unova League

Alyssa: <Okay...>

-She awkwardly stands up. Pent may notice a F!Pent plushie right next to where she was sitting.-

Unova League, lobby

-Every is reading a book-

-Looks at the plushie-

Huh, that's cute ^_^

Annnnnnnd in he went.

Could someone else write the Elite Four for me?

Unova League

Alyssa: -blushes a bit brighter- <...Your, um, girl-self gave it to me...> >/////>

Ah yes, the mysterious future me... That was nice of her ^_^

Route 23

-Zach and Lanie are sitting down.-

Zach: Don't be so hard on yourself...

Lanie: I've got to be! If I'm not, who will be?

Zach: Mel...

Lanie: It was my fault I lost... I've got to keep that in mind. If I don't learn from that, I could make the same mistakes again!

Zach: Mel, just... You've avoided me for half a week now... This isn't like you.

Lanie: ...

-A tear runs down the side of her face.-

I'm sorry, Chary...

Zach: S-sorry...? But there's no reason to—

Lanie: I failed you... remember...?

Cianwood Island, some time ago

-Zach and Lanie are standing across from each other by the ocean shore. In front of Lanie are Hue and R, at this point still a Starly and an Elekid. In front of Zach are Fajro and Batali.-

Zach: Think you're getting the hang of it now?

Lanie: I got the hang of it a while back!

Zach: Heh. Then I guess I'll stop holding back. Fajro! Batali!

-Their battle continues, and after a while, Lanie emerges victorious.-

Zach: ...I...

-He smiles.-

Lanie: How'd I do?

Zach: Great, actually! I can already tell, you're going to be a better trainer that I could ever dream of being.

Lanie: You really mean it?

Zach: Really, Mel. That's a promise.

Lanie: I...

-She smiles.-

Thank you... Chary...!

-She laughs, a tear running down the side of her cheek.-

Zach: Yeah... Mel... I can just tell. One day, you're going to be challenging the Pokémon League, and I'm going to be right there, watching you come out on top.

Lanie: I will... I'll do that for you, Chary! Yeah... That's... That's a promise!

Route 23, present

-Zach shakes his head.-

Zach: You can still keep your promise.

Lanie: But... I lost...

Zach: This isn't the only league you're going to challenge, is it?

Lanie: No, but...

Zach: Cheer up. We'll stick together, and next time... I'll be there to watch you win.

Lanie: You really mean it?

Zach: Really, Mel. That's a promise.

Unova League

Alyssa: <Yeah... she was nice... And you're really cute as a girl...> -blushes even brighter-

Well thank you~

-Chuckles-

Unova League

Alyssa: <Y-you're welcome...> ./////.

-She picks the plushie up, and shuffles awkwardly-

Alyssa: <So, um... let's go, I guess...>

Okay ^_^

-Begins wandering-

Unova League

Jacob: -Looks at Des- "Yeah. I mean so much has happened here... and now it's over. I'm a little sad to leave, when we find out where thos scientists are." -Sighs-

"I mean, I kind of grew up again. I went from a brat who threw a fit over a kiss, to well, my age, and now I'm the one solving problems instead of making them."

Unova League, Elsewhere

Regina: -While Jacob turned to look at Des, teleported Sylva here and is cradling the adorable Phione, but is otherwise not doing much-
