ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Lavaridge

(Hephaestus claps his gloved hands.)

Hephaestus: Finally, a fellow who sees sense! I have been greeted with a frosty reception upon delivering my proposals recently.

Eldräv: <Good! I like seeing you happy cuz it makes me happy and you hug me when you're happy which makes me even happier!>

Lavaridge

<Doing good, things have actually been pretty quiet for me lately.> -Shinobi shrugs- <Kind of relaxing, kind of boring.>

-He waves as the Misdreavus comes into view-

<And who do we have here?>

Lavaridge

Samantha: Don't I hug you, anyway?

-she can't help but grin at the fuzzy fox wizard-

Lavaridge

-They are indeed near him, whether by Hajime wandering near where they are, them wandering near where he is, or such things-

-Hajime is made a bit uncomfortable by the arguing, but decides it'd be better to greet Joseph and, so, does so-

Hajime: "Uh, hey, Joe."

Lavaridge

Uta:<Oh! I see!> :3

Sylph:<Oh! Uhm...h-hi there...Mr. Blitz...>

-She adjusts her 'hat' cutely and waves.-

Lavaridge

Eldräv: <I guess so!> :3

Lavaridge

-Samantha ruffles the head fur of Eldrav-

Samantha: So, how's my favorite Braixen doing?

Rincewind: <Well, fuck you too, then.>

Samantha: Oh, hush.

Near Hajime

-Joseph suddenly shows a picture of The Dress-

Joseph: Hajime. Tell me the color of this dress.

Lavaridge

-Hajime is taken a bit by surprise and is about to say something, but stops right before-

Hajime: "...Is this going to make the arguing worse?"

Lavaridge

Joseph: I can neither confirm nor deny this.

Lavaridge

(At first, Eldräv purrs at the head-ruffling, but she hears Rincewind and immediately points her wand at him.)

Eldräv: <Hey! You used one of those horrible rude words Mister Svavel keeps using and Auntie Vatt tells me not to repeat or she'll make me wash my mouth with soap! That's really naughty of you!> 3:<

Lavaridge

Hajime: "...Erm..."

"...Could I ask something else unrelated before I respond?"

Lavaridge

Rincewind: <I see. And how old are you?>

Near Hajime

Joseph: Please do.

Lavaridge

-Shinobi ruffle Uta's ears and head-fluff and smiles at Sylph-

<Sylph, You evolved? It's been a while!>

Lavaridge

"I can kinda see why." thought Duke, shrugging "Well, in any case, good luck with your goals."

Lavaridge

Eldräv: <...one year old?>

Lavaridge

Hajime: "Well..."

"...What's a good way to catch Pokemon?"

Lavaridge

Rincewind: <I'm a year and four months. Now, why do you insist on being treated as a toddler, then?>

Near Hajime

Joseph: ...be more specific. Do you mean how to physically catch them, or how to earn their trust?

Lavaridge

(Eldräv's eyes go wide with shock.)

Eldräv: <Wh-what do you mean?>

Lavaridge

Sylph:<It...has been, huh...?>

-She notices something.-

<Mr. Blitz...is that...a scar...?>

Lavaridge

Hajime: "...Well, I thought it was usually done the first way, but the second way sounds nicer, so how about that?"

-Sighs-

You now, today back then I was in Hoenn as well, it was during that time between when we'd killed Missingno but before we'd gotten to Unova.

Lavaridge

Rincewind: <It means that->

-is recalled-

Samantha: That's quite enough of that.

Near Hajime

Joseph: Well, that largely depends on the personality of the Pokemon in question. Do you have a specific mon that you want to catch?

-the Dress is all but forgotten as Joseph goes into Breeder Mode-

Lavaridge Hot Springs

-Dunzel is sitting in the spring, enjoying the time to himself.-

Dunzel: ... I think I just passed from "peaceful" to "bored".

-Or, er, was enjoying himself.-

Lavaridge

Eldräv: (shaking and hyperventilating) <N-no, send him out again! I need to hear what he's gonna say!>

Lavaridge

<Huh?> -The Greninja glances at himself, and rubs the back of his neck awkwardly- <Um, yeah... It is>
