ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Sootopolis

Jason:At once, m'lady~

-Chuckle-

-To his room they go for cheesy rom-coms-

Cafeteria, Past

Des whips his head around to see where the gunshots came from.

"What the-?"

Cafeteria, The Not So Far Back Past

"Aye."

He tosses aside his tub.

"Y'know we should get together sometime. Bust into some secret facility or somethin. For a laugh y'know? For fun."

GIVE ME YOUR FACE

Cafeteria, Raid

Yeah, find someplace doing some bad science or something and liberate some tech.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Neo-Flare Base, With the main Group, Looking for Odin

-Ren and co. are still acting as the rearguard.-

Ren: -pulling out his stun cane- I'm not liking how there hasn't been any real attempt to attack us from the rear...

-to his team- Stay alert! Unless these guys are idiots, there's going to be a group of grunts coming up behind us eventually.

Armoury

The shots ring towards the beautiful figure of a young woman, black clad with black hair. Holding two Desert Eagles pointed in the direction of Shade and his mons.

On her sides, she is flanked by a shiny Jynx and a shiny Florges.

Maria: Blast! Missed the damn schweinehund!

A group of elites swarm from behind her.

Maria: There you are Delta squadron. Prey tell how you let these miserable worms into the armoury!?

Delta Mook #1: S-Sorry Madam!

Delta Mook #4: We got caught up in E&I paperwork.

Maria: ...

What is the rule about paperwork?

Delta Squad: Drop it at the first sign of trouble...

Maria: That's right. Now our armoury has been partially thanks to you

Mass gulp.

Maria: Consider yourselves on probation. Now, release your Pokemon.

The 4 Delta Squad Member let out a Medicham, Charizard, Golbat and Zoroark.

Maria: Now! ATTACK THEM! SCHNELL SCHNELL!

Qandisa! Blizzard! Ishtar! Moonblast

Qandisa:    <MAY YOU WALLOW FOR ETERNITY IN YOUR ICY GRAVE!!>   

Ishtar: -Looking at her fingers, bored- <Yeah, like, whatever.>

A High Jump Kick from the Medicham, Fire Blast from the Charizard, Brave Bird from the Crobat and a Night Daze from the Zoroark combine with the Blizzard and Moonblast fired from Qandisa and Ishtar, all aiming on Shade and any mon around him.

Delta Mook #2: Should we...?

Maria: Mons first, muscle later. Are we not all trainers here?

Delta Squad: ...

Control Room

Our scientist boy has made his way into the control room, fiddling with various buttons on the panels.

Lex: Stupid buttons, I don't know what anything does! URGH! Confound this blast old tech!

He brings out a manual

Lex: Hmmm.... Oh that's how.

Lex goes back to the panel, turns a dial and fiddles with a few buttons.

Main Group

Behind Ren, a steel panel comes crashing down, blocking an exit path.

Main Group

A hologram screen blips out, screening the image of a young man in admin garb, chuckling at the group in front of them.

Tagg may notice that the figure looks suspiciously like that de Nile girl, only with the high cheekbones more telling of Cain heritage.

Hologram!Lex: Nyeh heh heh! You Jerk-Team clods really are as dull as dirt!

With the main group

-Ren blinks at the cliche villainy.-

Near Salvador

Keys: <Wow. And I thought I delivered some cliched lines.>

With The Main Group

Ren: -dryly- Can we skip the cliches and skip directly to the part where we screw up your attempt to kill us?

-Ren's mon ready themselves-

Raid, last night

...He kinda reminds me of Cleo, but he also looks like Lucius and Psyche...

...Is that supposed to be your best Zircon impression or something?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Salvador's End

Salvador perks up as the voice echos from the other room

Salvador: That voice... is it? No, he wouldn't...

He begins walking towards the panel

Main Group

Hologram!Lex: ...What? Speak up please, it seems that the in hall communicators have been gunked up again. Worthless, outdated tech...

Armoury, Last Night

"...I am underprepared. Dio, Hail!"

<Wrrrrr RRRYYYYYY!!!>

Dio spins around an creates a Hail storm too obscure the Squad's vision.

Des presses himself against a wall.

Raid, last night

Looks pretty high tech to me...

I said-

-Starts speaking into a convenient microphone and repeats my previous statement-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Ren face palms and moves close to a speaker, then repeats his previous one liner.-

And you work for a guy from the future, your tech not working is your own fault.

Neo-Flare Base

-After much demolition of both scenery, elite mooks and their mons, and a few traps Lina and Arika's group has found no sign of Odin-

Arika: Where is that slippery bastard?

Lina: If only...

Wait. Chrome, Waka, Kiki, can you use your psychic powers to get a lead?

-All three mons close their eyes and focus-

Chome: <I sense him, off a ways... It's dull, but I know it's him.>

Waka: <His thoughts make him easy to pick out...

Kiki: <Probably because he's so creepy...>

Lina: Chrome, track him down and we'll follow you. Waka and Kiki can broadcast where we're heading psychically to the others.

-They all do so-

Excess Express

Nico: Ahaha, YES! No more Mr. Nice Nico! I'm sending you back where you came from, you freak of nature!

-He and his mons continue attacking-

Contact Me!

Near The Server Room

-Dune is trying to make headway on where the heck the power generator is.-

Dune: This would be a lot easier with an Electric-Type Pokemon...

Rill: <Well, you know we've got->

Dune: Easier with ANYONE but him.

Rill: <You should really get a new Electric-Type Pokemon. I kinda miss Galvani shooting lightning at things while I watched and just Wide Guarded Earthquakes.>

Dune: I'll consider it.

Excess Express

Candace: ... <Uh, I think I'm gonna go make sure Goombella's okay. I don't want to get into that crossfire.>

Showdown in Armory Town, Odin!plot

Shade flies back from the ensuing chaos and gunshots.

Rex goes down from the blizzard and the mooblast, Jiraiya thankfully takes no damage, Sunny gets hit with the brave bird and the high jump kick and takes moderate damage, and Excalibur takes massive damage from the Night Daze.

Shade leans up sorely, "Rex, return. Everyone regroup! Des, lets do this!"

Main Group

Hologram!Lex: Thank you! I've been working on it for a while~ Along with these!

Suddenly lasers.

Hologram!Lex: Isn't this nice. You lumpy, clumpy clods have done a hard number on my work, blowing up my machines and hwatnot~ Though, how can a gentleman go so far without introducing himself?

I am Lex, in charge of Innovation, Weapon Development and Robotics, second-in-command to Research & Development head Odin. The security system and the strange, state-of-the-art weapons used against you today? Me~

The Invisibility Suits with a built in Aura Jammer that can't be tampered with by your lowly Anti-Aura Jammer tech? Me~

The Zero-Point Energy that can move and block almost anything. Also me~

And now, lasers~

How does it feel to be outsmarted YOU JERKS!

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Armoury

Des rolls his eyes and grabs Shade by the collar. He drags him deeper into the Armoury and beckons for his mons to follow.

He hunkers down behind some shelves.

"Ok, we'll need to split them up. I only got Dio on me, and they have 6 mons so don't take any unecessary risks. I'll lure one or two of them in. Keep quiet."

He walks down one of the halls and intentionally knocks over a crate.

Excess Express

Maggie: "...Looks like this might be it after all."

"...But Jones, you should probably try and help him some too."

Jones: <I'll go do that, yeah.>

-He sprays a Scald at the blob as well-

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every

-Domes of green energy raise to Protect Ren's team and those around them.-

Ren: Someone mind dealing with those Lasers? We can handle defense.

-Ren and co. receive the psychic transmission.-

Ren: AND OF COURSE THE TIMING IS PERFECT TO STALL THE REARGUARD!

Neo-Flare HQ, Main Group

-Ever, crouched near the Protect shields, has recalled Spathi and Marmalade, and has sent out Pleth and Ephemera-

Ever: Okay, get ready to shoot back when the lasers start coming.

-he then receives the psychic transmission-

I feel uncomfortably like we are being well-suckered.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Cafeteria

-Pent glances about-

Huh, guess someone figured out where Odin is. Wanna go meet up with the main group?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Neo-Flare HQ, main group

-Cerberus launches a Fire Blast which is absorbed by a Protect shield-

-she whines, then yelps as she notices the lasers-

Mezzo: Why can't this ever be easy?

-Mezzo then yelps at a sudden intrusion into her mind-

Mezzo: Don't do that! But, um, I guess that does make things easier. Thanks?

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.
