ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Anistar, Post-Pana, yesterday

Crewe's asked me the same thing. To be honest, I'm not sure...I'd have to think about it more.

Terminus Cave, sometime in the middle of the night

-Claire is chased straight into Zygarde's chamber, one of Elise's kunai shattering on a nearby rock. Another follows her inside, but is fizzled immediately. Zygarde is nowhere to be found-

Claire:-looks around for a way out, but can't find one- Dammit...

-Elise then comes charging in, her Obscura constructs immediately fizzling. Ignoring that, she tackles Claire to the ground, and points another one at her head, hesitating. Her hand twitches, something obviously fighting within her. Eventually, her eyes return to green, the kunai having fizzled long before, and Elise just stays still, horrified. Claire is too scared to move. A deep, rough-sounding voice resonates through the room-

Zygarde:<Foolish girl, don't you know any sort of Aura is useless here?>

-Zygarde bursts through the ground, rocks flying everywhere as he comes out of the hole. He uses Land's Wrath, and Elise is thrown off Claire, landing across the room after hitting the wall-

Zygarde:<As much as I love seeing a good catfight, that was too much.> -looks down at Claire- <You alright, miss?>

-Claire looks at Zygarde, speechless-

Zygarde:<Whoops.> How about now? You okay?

-Claire slowly nods her head-

Anistar

-Maggie, unsure how best to deal with DS' situation, tries calling Tagg-

Anistar — Past

Member: Well, if you do decide to join, tell me. Here.

Member: By the way, my name's Neil.

Anistar City, Post Pana, yesterday

-Straw gets the number, and enters it into his Holo Caster-

Alright then. Maybe I'll see you in the future then. Oh, and my name's Straw.

Anistar City

Eridanus: Hmm... There's not that many I can phone...

Fox: <Yeah, we're not too popular.>

Denshi: <Why we can't phone Al and say hi?>

Forge: <She's probably busy or something.>

Eridanus: Hmm... Oh! *bulb idea* How about a friendly sparring... between two of you? It's better than doing nothing.

Fox: <I am for it. A friendly match won't hurt, will it?>

Airports have crappy wifi! :D By the way, the "me" in the chat is a ghost.

Anistar — Past

Neil: Nice to meet you, Straw. See you around, I guess.

- Morrigan has attempted to find out more about Team Flare these past few days. She's heard many things, but not much.-

Anistar, Post-Pana, yesterday

Yeah, see you around

Pen: Team Flare's mostly disbanded right now, though there is Neo-Team Flare in the background.

Getting on the plane riiiiight about now.

Anistar — Past

-Neil heads off to somewhere.-

Durant's Next, last night

-The next chamber has a larger than normal Durant constantly producing eggs to be taken away by nursery Durant-

Anistar, today

-Gets Maggie's text-

Durant's Nest - Last night

Jacob: -Looks at the Durant- Well here's the queen...

... I wonder what she gets out of this. How she feels, being relegated to simply procreate until the end...

-Offers up the hatchling to the queen- "Er, for you."

Anistar

Durant Nest, last night

Queen Durant: -Takes the hatchling from Jacob- <Ah, another worker for the colony.>

Anistar, today

Durant's Nest - Last Night

Jacob: "Correct."

"..."

"I know it's not my place to ask, but... I was curious. How do you feel about your task? I realize it is of great importance but I can't help but wonder how you feel about it."

Anistar - DS' hotel room

- Is writing some things down in the notebook -

Anistar City: Streets

At present, Rex is walking alongside his team from yesterday, thinking over what his mother told him. In his arms, he's presently holding Sahara as Rascal and Kim walk together behind him, curious as to what the boy is planning to do for the day.

Rex: Not pausing to think and seizing opportunities... Mnrrgh...

Current Team: Rascal the Flareon (♂), Ohm the Ampharos (♀), Lian the Mienshao (♀), Damian the Heracross (♂), Sahara the Darumaka (♀), and Maitake the Breloom (♂)

Guest Member: Lucario!Kim (♀)

Anistar

Queen's Chamber, last night

Queen Durant: <I know it might be hard to believe, my child, but I wasn't always like this. Back when I was younger I used to do more of the work myself until my brood was large enough to do the work themselves, leading to what you see now. Sometimes I do miss the outside, but I'm pretty content where I am now.>

-She happens to have been laying eggs this whole time-

Anistar hotel

-Knocks on DS' door-

Anistar - DS' hotel room

- Answers the door -

Oh, hi Tagg.

Durant's Nest - Last Night

Jacob: "I see... It's... relieving to know you are content."

"I shall return to my duties, then." -Walks back, affixes a camera to one of the walls, and just before exiting the room, takes a single look back before going on-

-On his way back to the entrance he remembers to place a camera in the mold and fungus room, then exits-

-Comes inside-

Maggie told me you talked to Wolf last night?

Anistar - DS' hotel room

Well... Sort of...

Anistar Pokecenter

Robin: Just taking the gym challenge, or as some people like to call it, the "scrub lord" contest. Well…At least Cleo does.

Volcarona: We tend to take…Rather long rests, in between battles. We won't be in a rush to leave Anistar any time soon.

Durant's Nest - Last Night

Jacob: -As he exits- "..." -Sighs-

"Well that's done with...."

I can understand why Herbert's earlier assumptions on PEFE being corrupt would be taken so... sourly. Working to understand Pokémon like this is an arduous task, and doing so without disturbing them even more so, but it's worth it because all creatures are worth understanding....

"I can't help but feel that the test would have been more complete had I had to gather the pheromone myself... but maybe that's not what he was looking for." -Heads back to Anistar-

Anistar

(A dishevelled-looking blond boy whose attire falls somewhere between Steve Irwin and a member of the Unovan military is lurking somewhere, seemingly deep in thought.)
