ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Unova League

-Alyssa wanders with Pent, who may notice her starting to look a bit sad-

...

Something wrong?

Unova League - Earlier

"Lyuri? I don't know, we're not always together so I guess she must be doing something alone." said Sakura

Duke then started petting Sylva while she nuzzled him, with a small smile in his face.

Unova League - Now

"Once we leave, we're just going to have more wacky shenanigans, hardly something to get sad about." said Hikari, giggling

Unova League - Elsewhere

Seth approaches Regina, immediatelly noticing Sylva "<Taking care of a baby I see.>"

Unova League, lobby

-Every is still reading-

Salamence: -looking over Every's shoulder- <This book is slander! Dragons aren't that mean!>

-shrug-

AU!Black City

-Every is looking out the window, watching some Haxori go about their business-

These eyes suck so much.

Unova League

Alyssa: <...I guess I'm... just feeling a bit lonely...>

Aww, that's not good

-Hugs Alyssa slightly-

|AS PI|

Pi has sent most of his party away for training, at an undisclosed location. He has kept with him Jack, 9, Gnowee, Honos, Lern, Basharmin, and Joan. He is also being accompanied by the omnipresent Glossa.

Pokemon League, Roof

Pi is staring out at the view. His mind is obviously on other things.

In his hand he holds the black Pokeball, with the name "Obitus" scratched on it. He rolls it back and forth in idle motion.

"Damn."

He sighs, and then turns to walk towards the roof access.

"With these people, we may just win this. We have a hope."

Jack phases through the floor, coming up from below.

<Jack: "Then why do you sound so scared, bro?">

Pi grins wryly, and turns to his starter.

"Because, Jack. Hope is the scariest emotion out there. It can bring you up, just to let you down. It can cut right to your center like a knife, and then slash away, bleeding you out. Because hope walks hand in hand with fear, Jack. Because once you have hope, that means you have something they can take away from you. Hope is a hell of a thing, brother. It's a heady drug, and a slow poison. Hope is a bitch, right up there with Lady Luck. Heh."

Pi gives a bitter little chuckle, and then stalks off of the roof.

Unova League

-Alyssa hugs back slightly-

Alyssa: Jeff <has been gone for so long... I haven't seen him in months...>

Unova League

Jacob: -Laughs, to Hikari- "No doubt about that."

Unova League Elsewhere

Regina: -Smiles- <Adorable, isn't she? I haven't got to see her much and I think Jacob will be glad for the freedom. So what are you up to, Seth?>

Ouch... Yeah, that's really not good

Unova League

"Do you have any plans for what to do after we leave, Jacob?" asked Duke

Unova League - Elsewhere

"<Not much, and I'm sure he'll enjoy the freedom, I myself have to take care of a certain baby sometimes, and even then it gets annoying fast.>" said Seth, rolling his eyes.

Unova League

-Alyssa sighs quietly-

Alyssa: <He's been so busy with> PEFE <stuff...>

Yeah, that's probably a problem for a relationship... >_>

Unova League

Jacob: -To Duke- "No, not really. Kind of silly since I always like to have a plan. Do you plan to do something after this?"

Unova League, Elsewhere

Regina: <Oh, really? Who?> -Turns more towards Seth-

Unova League

-Alyssa nods-

Alyssa: <I... don't have any idea what to do... Until I met you all, my only friend was Rain... I don't know anything about people...>

-Hugs some more-

People are difficult >_<

|AS PI|

Pokemon League, Corridors

Pi is wandering around, humming his theme.

Unova League

"Not really." said both Sakura and Duke

Unova League - Elsewhere

Dylan then could be seen rolling in his Bubble Shield at a very high speed and crashing into a wall

"<Him.>" said Seth, not even looking towards what had happened.

Unova League

-Alyssa hugs back-

Alyssa: <Yeah... thank you,> Penti...

Unova League

-Zach and Lanie arrive back at the Unova League, and are open for interaction.-

No problem, glad to help ^_^

Unova League

"Y'know Jake, I met these people 'bout 7 months ago and I think you've grown closer to them in short while here than I have."

-he chuckles and shakes his head-

"That's probably 'cause I get called away so often. People here don't trust me. I'm a stranger amongst friends..."

He nods to Alyssa.

" 'Lyssa over there is frightened to death of me, Herb thinks I'm still a criminal and I feel like I've drifted away from Sakura..."

He trails off with a sad look on his face.

AU - Lavaridge

-A certain Salamence and a Bagon he is watching over are making their way down an alley, keeping a bit of a lower profile than normal-

<Humon!Swablu: "Hey, Gino!">

<Humon!Axew: "... Gino?">

<Gino: "Eh, don't mind us, nyan. We're just being a bit more wary than normal.">

<Vibrava: "What... Happened?"> ._.

<Jackie: "Oh, we ran into a jerk who saw through us earlier.">

-Which prompts some nervous murmuring to go around-

<Humon!Swablu: "Um... Gino...? Jackie...? That's... Not...">

<Humon!Deino: "Good.">

<Humon!Axew: "Like, at all, dude.">

<Grovyle: "Yeah, we should get rid of this Drake guy... And fast."> ._.

<Humon!Deino: "Well, there was my suggestion with the cleaning fluids...">

<Gino: "Again with that suggestion, nya?">

<Humon!Deino: "What? This is serious, Gino!">

<Humon!Axew: "Yeah. You're the toughest mon among us, and if you're having trouble keeping your profile..."> ._.

<Gino: "I thought we went over the logic behind this, nyan!">

<Jackie: "Wait, Gino... Maybe he's onto something... But for different reasons...">

<Vibrava: "Eh?">

<Jackie: "What if... We used this as a cover for something else?">

<Gino: "Nya? Like what?">

<Grovyle: "Well... That Drake guy's supposed to have a thing for that keytar of his...">

<Jackie: "Actually... Gino...

I think that I can see somewhere where we can go with this.">

In the Quarters of AU!Pent - Airship

-A few mons are skulking around, a few buckets of foul-smelling chemicals scattered about along with some now-empty bottles of detergent and ammonia-based cleaners-

<Humon!Gible: "Um... You realize that if we so much as hit minor turbulence here, we're totally screwed, right?"> ._.

<Jackie: "Just follow my lead. If you see me running. Follow suit.">

-Stopping up some air vents to prevent any emitted gases from escaping the room-

<Humon!Axew: "Is that keytar done, or what?">

<Jackie: "Hang on a second...">

-Putting the finishing touches in some clumsily-written human script-

<Humon!Gible: "What is that suppos-">

<Humon!Axew: "... Why are we going through all this trouble when this Paarthunax guy could probably just vent whatever gets made in here-?">

<Jackie: "Because we don't plan on killing him...">

<Humon!Axew: "Then... What are we-?">

-Pressing a few keys on the keytar... And causing some most unbearable noises to come out of it-

<Humon!Gible: *shudder* "Ugh.">

<Humon!Axew: "We're killing his ears?"> @_@

<Jackie: "Exactly. Now come on. Let's get out of here!">

-And hastily lock up the door, slipping through some vents-

External Corridor - Airship - Skies of AU!Hoenn

-A certain infiltration team is clambering onto their means of escape from the airship-

<Jackie: "Come on, let's get out of here!">

<Gino: "Just a moment, nya!">

<Grunt!Salamence: "Hey! You!">

-And a leering (non-shiny) Salamence approaches-

<Grunt!Salamence: "This isn't exactly a day care here! Who are you and why are you here?!">

<Humon!Axew: "Gino!">

<Gino: "Nya~ Funny story... I was just leaving!">

-And swoops down towards the underbelly of the ship-

<Grunt!Salamence: "Hey! Get back here!">

Turret Station - Airship Over the Skies of AU!Hoenn

-A bored-looking Gabite is picking at its claws-

<Gunner!Gabite: "Mmm...">

<Gunner!Fraxure: "Captain, there appears to be one of our own pursuing an intruder...">

<Gunner!Gabite: *sigh* "Of course there is... What is it really, a flock of Wingull?">

-Excitedly-

<Gunner!Fraxure: "So... Can I fire on it?">

<Gunner!Gabite: "Yeah, yeah, whatever.">

-And the turret begins to turn... If at an unusual angle-

<Gunner!Gabite: "Hey wait a minute! That's the bow! What are you aiming a-?!">

-And notices the form of a Salamence being pursued by another using Dragon Pulse, slicing into plates of the ship underneath-

<Gino: "You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, nyan!">

<Gunner!Gabite: "HOLD ON, DON'T PUSH THAT-!">

<Gunner!Fraxure: " FIRE! ">

-And gleefully slams a few buttons on the turret-

Under the Bow of the Airship

<Grunt!Salamence: "Grr! Why you-!">

<Gino: "Not that I'm complaining, nya! You're really helping me out here!">

<Grunt!Salamence: "Just what is that supposed to mea-?!">

-And looks back at a trail of minor destruction on the ship's underside-

<Grunt!Salamence: "... Dammit, I knew I should've stuck with close quarter- AAAAAAAAAAH!">

<Gino: "What's-? MRRROW!">

-And the two hastily weave around some incoming shells-

AU!Pent's Locked Quarters

-The ship is rocked by a massive jolt-

-Which topples a number of buckets, their contents intermixing freely-

Back Under the Airship

-Gliding, jaws agape at the smoking hole in the hull-

<Singed!Salamence: "... Ah..."> O.O

<Sooty!Gino: *cough cough* "Nya?! Artillery?! I'm out, nyan!

Have fun explaining the damage to your boss!">

-Calling out to the his fellow stunned and singed counterpart-

<Sooty!Gino: "On the plus side, I think your gunner missed the fuel tanks by about 3 feet!">

Unova League

Jacob: "Huh. Well I might just help wrap this all up. Follow this group to help with these shady scientists and what ever. I have no intention of going back to adventuring alone again, that's for sure."

-Shakes head, looks at Des- "Hm. Well I at least trust you. But it is hard to grow close to someone who is gone often."

-Shakes head again- "I don't even know why these guys all grew close to me. I mean I'm sure they'll all disagree but I don't think I'm all that fun, pleasant, or interesting really."

Unova League, Elsewhere

Regina: -Blinks at Dylan- <Oh... that must get tiring after a while.>

-Shakes head- <At least she's being really calm and usually she's very easy to handle.> -Cradles Sylva more before she wakes up-

Sylva: <Phi...?> -See's Seth, and looks as if she was just injected with coffee- <Phione!!> -Rushes over to him and dances around him before nuzzling against him-

<Phione~! Phiphi! Teeheehee~!>

Unova League

-Alyssa smiles a bit, and hugs a bit tighter before letting go-
