ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Holon City

-Dune can be seen (rather easily, considering the towering, shiny Golurk following behind him) heading down the street back toward the Silph Co. building.-

Ren: Dune, I need to talk to you!

On the boat

- Has been listening to the Durant's explaination -

So... The crown this guy is looking for is some sort of mind control artifact?

Durant: (nods) <Yes. At least, that is what he thinks it is. Some of the text on the scroll was a bit faded and the translation may not have been 100% accurate.>

Hmm... Well, whether he is right about what the crown does or not, his plans for it are probably nothing good.

Durant: <I don't care what the boss needs a mind control artifact for; I just work here.>

Meanwhile somewhere else

- Lillith is possibly following Wolf -

Lillith: So... How do we go about finding her? We don't exactly have that many clues to go on.

In the past

- Ayame and the Zebstrika have returned to the farm -

Ayame: ... Really? I can keep the Zebstrika?

Ayame's relative: (nods) Well, it seems you get along with it better than I do, so it would probably be best if you keep it.

Ayame: Oh... Thanks!

- Ayame and the Zebstrika begin walking away -

Ayame: So... Now that I'm a warrior and I have a partner Pokémon, I could join Shizuka's army! (thinks for a moment) But, Shizuka probably still won't let me join, since she's concerned about putting me in danger. (thinks some more) Maybe there's a way around that, though...

My fanfic

Sorry for being intermittent, I'm running errands a city over.

Holon City

Dune: Oh, hey Ren. I hope you've been having better luck than I have.

Big Dom: <OUR SILPH CO. CONTACT WAS NOT AS HELPFUL AS EXPECTED.>

Fixed Profile page

Ren: I made arrangements for Rio and I to examine all the Time flowers in the exhibit. As for your progress, that is unfortunate. -grins- Maybe you can use a hacker?

-Gamma floats forward-

Gamma: <Greetings. Master Ren has asked me to assist Mister Dune and his associates in infiltrating Silph Co.>

-with Eskay and Lillith-

Can I see the clues we do have, again? Just to make sure we have everything.

Holon City

-Dune's eyebrows rise at the mention of "hacking".-

Dune: I'm hoping that won't be necessary. Silph's always been good at keeping their scientific curiosity in check, and I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Selene: <Plus, wasn't the Porygon line invented by Silph? Wouldn't they know right away one was plugged into their system?>

Dune: Oh, also, if you hear mention of a man named "Sabaku" in those flowers, be sure to let me know. The guy who originally owned this -motioning to the staff slung over his shoulder- identified himself as such.

Ergon City

Eskay: I honestly don't know. This is really the first I'd heard she was missing.

Lillith: (shrugs) Well, based on what Kohai said, I assume the baddies have a Pokémon that knows Grasswhistle? And apparently Setsuna overheard one of them saying something about their boss needing her to find something he was looking for?

Lillith's Dewott: (riding on Setsuna's back) <So, why are we here again?>

Setsuna: (whispers) <Because our chances of finding her are better if we have the other's help... that, and because Goggles had a theory that since most of the J-Team was here, odds are DS was too.>

Lillith's Dewott: <... How does that work?>

Goggles: <Well, sometimes the J-Team goes where strange stuff happens, sometimes the strange stuff goes where the J-Team is. And where there's strange stuff, there's strange people, not counting ourselves, and Kohai said two strange guys took her, so there's no where else she could be!>

Lillith's Dewott: <... Guess I can't argue with that logic.>

My fanfic

Selene brings up a good point. But, I was given Gamma By Silph Co's President - my father is good friends with him. And it's not unheard of for Gamma to turn up in Silph Co's computers because of that. And I'm not suggesting going after research, I'm suggesting going after production inventories. Gamma can tell you if you he's found any parts like the machine part that was used to capture Cresselia have been made or purchased in the last few weeks. And will do about that name.

Going dark for a bit - now making the trip back home, might take a few hours before I'm available again.

Holon City

Dune: Alright... if you say so. Just don't do it in front of the R&D Head. She's a bit defensive of her tech.

Hildr: <And she's very loud about it, too.>

Ren: Don't worry. If nothing else, I can to order me a device that withstand these storms, and have Gamma piggyback on the transmission signal.

Sasa Sanctuary

-Chun leads the group back here, where the Spearow guards spot everyone-

Spearow 1: <Hey hey hey! It's Fat Albert Scruffy and friends! What are you doing back in Sasa Sanctuary?!>

Spearow A: <The whole tribe is on high alert at the moment! No one gets through the gate until the boss' daughter is fou->

-double takes-

<Huh?! Chun?!>

Chun: <Hi, I'm back~>

Spearow 1: <Chun, are you OK?>

Spearow A: <Boss, Boss! She's back!>

- The panel rotates outwards to reveal Jamba-

Chun: <Pop! Pop!> -flies up to him- <I'm sorry, Pop, I won't go out on my own again!>

Jamba: ...

-Chirp-

Spearow 1: <Uh-oh!>

Spearow A: <The boss is... Delighted!>

Issun: <You [sure] about that?>

Chun: <This white doggie and her friends saved me, Pop! You'll give them something to thank them, won't you?>

Jamba: ...

-Chirp Chirp-

-He waves his wings, and the door to Sasa Sanctuary opens-

Spearow 1: <The boss has accepted you! You're lucky.>

Spearow A: <OK then! Better come inside!>

-The panel rotates inward, taking Jamba and Chun back inside-

Ammy: <Alright, we will!>

-She enters Sasa Sanctuary-

-Lina is getting ready to go to Holon City to meet Crewe. -

Ergon City

Eskay: ...Well, considering how things have gone with us in the past, that is a really good lead.

-He notices Lina-

Eskay: Hey, Lina. What's up?

Hmm...Then I guess the best we have to go on is that they're looking for something they specifically need DS to find... And if Goggles is right (and his logic here actually makes a certain degree of sense) then it probably has something to do with Holon... So we should go somewhere to research Holon artifacts! Is there a museum, or library nearby?

Ergon City

Eskay: I heard there's a museum in Holon City. Problem is, there's a group of mons — a few groups, actually — which are blocking the way. We might need to deal with them.

I guess we have no other choice. Let's go.

Ancestor!Wolf and Ancestor!Katie's profiles (they have names now!) are posted in the secondary forum. I'm going to take a quick break to eat, and then I'll be back to start the invasion.

Kohai: <Kohai will beat up any Pokémon that get in our way!>

Thoreau: <I will throw them out of our path!>

- Thoreau and Kohai glare at each other -

Goggles: <Yay! We're doing detective work!> (produces a bubble pipe out of no where)

Setsuna: (stares at Goggles)

-Follows Ammy-

Nice place they have here.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Ergon City

Eskay: Well, I guess we'll be coming as a group, then.

Ammy: -looing around- <Yeah, it is...>

-After some looking around, a Spearow approaches them-

Spearow: <Have you tried the hot springs? They're in the back.>

Ammy: <Ooh, that sounds great!>

- She heads where the Spearow points-

Ergon, near Eskay

Lina: OK then.

-Crewe is wandering around near the entrance to Holon City, waiting for Lina-

Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!

Nimbasa City

Zack and Jordan are sparring, ending with the former eventually knocking the latter into a lamp post with an Aqua Tail.

"<Man, are you easy to beat.>" said Zack, with a smug smile

"<Thank you for the confidence boost>" said Jordan, rather dazed.

"<I guess that's enough for you, kid. We can continue this later.>" said Zack, soon walking away without even helping Jordan back on his feet.

While going back to the city proper, Zack spotted Gex and Riku talking to Duke and decided to listen to what they were talking about.

"<Hmm... Maybe I am going to need Duke to really improve, no way I'm going to ask him for help though. Maybe I should provoke him into fighting me somehow, dude's difficult to anger.>" thought Zack

"<So, Duke! How about we go to Castelia for an ice cream?>" asked Riku.

"<All the way to Castelia? Lyuri wouldn't want you two to get lost again.>" said Duke, looking rather worried.

"<But that's why you're coming with us!>" said Gex

"<Yeah! You have Aura, you can keep track of us, and I promise we aren't going to get separated from you!>" said Riku, pretty much begging by this point

Duke then stops to think for a bit before letting out a small sigh "<All right, all right. I'll go to Castelia with you two, it's going to be just a quick trip though, just go around the city for a bit and coming back, okay?>"

"<Right!>" said both boys.

Duke then turns to Zack "<You want to come too, Zack?>" he asked, with a small, sly smile.

Zack then freezes for a few seconds "<... Freakin' Aura.> he thought, before quickly shaking his head "<Meh, sure, better than staying here all day.>" he said

"<All right, let's get some money with Lyuri and warn about this then. I wonder if they're going to let me buy something while on Pokémon form.>" said Duke.

"<As long as they get money, you think they care?>" asked Zack

Duke then remained in silence and shrugged, seeing the reasoning behind Zack's question, he then went to look for Lyuri to make sure she's aware of where they're going, Riku and Gex followed him rather excitedly while Zack was rather hesitant to follow since he wasn't exactly sure what he would do there.
