ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Jason's room

Senshi:~Okay, okay. Stop dragging.~

-Dane is panting-

Dane:You...

-Points to Blitz-

You two...

-Then Bel and Uzuki-

H...Help...

-points to Jason-

Him...got it...?

-Eve is very confused by this.-

Blitz: "What?"

-He shakes his head, and looks from the stranger to Jason and back-

"I mean, of course. But what's going on?"

Hearthome Hospital

(Once she sees Jason, Belinda claps her hands to her mouth as her eyes go massively dilated.)

Belinda: Oh my gosh help him with what how is he hurt is he dying oh my gosh

(Uzuri, meanwhile, just gets more confused.)

Uzuri: What the actual fuck is going on here?

Tastes better on the way back down.

-With Siobhan in tow, Tex and company arrive at the entrance to Mt. Coronet. Tex steels himself, then sends out Bulldozer.-}

Tex: Use flash.

-Bulldozer does so, but doesn't make a sound.-

Jason's Room

-Dane takes a deep breath-

Dane:His...His brain...uhm...Mindscape! That's the word. S...Something's...wrong up there...

-Sigh pant-

He's...thinking of making...a stupid decision...i...it isn't him...so...so please...help...

-Senshi and Eve blink in unison-

Senshi:~Did you kn-~

Eve:Hey, I was just fixing his arm.

~I d o n t n e e d a n y o n e...~

Senshi:~...purple?~

-Blitz stares as Dane explains-

Blitz: "How'd you-"

-He's distracted by the auric transmission-

"...Okay, that felt off" Knew he needed more than being left alone the other night

-Blitz goes over and tries to put a hand on Jason's shoulder-

"Hey, come on Jason. You can trust us, right?"

Hearthome City - Poffin House

Diana is currently cooking some poffins and this time having significantly more success in making them all the while Soleil is watching with her arms on the table and occasionally picking some already finished red and pink poffins from a nearby plat. Suddenly Samson and Aegir come in.

"'sup, Diana," he said, waving at her.

"Hey, you two," said Diana, turning off the fire and looking at them, "what have you two been up to?"

"We tried going to that one park here in the city, but they didn't want to let us enter because apparently Aegir isn't 'cute' enough." Samson shrugged.

"That sounds... arbitrary," said Diana, visibly confused, "what did you do then?"

"We snuck in, of course," he answered with a big grin on his face.

Diana stared at Samson for a few seconds before facepalming. "You're going to get yourself arrested one of these days," she sighed, "don't expect me to bail you out if it happens."

"You're totally going to bail me out if it happens," Samson chuckled

Diana just sighed again while Soleil was looking at Aegir with an amused expression

"<And you went along with it?>" she asked

"<You try stopping this guy without getting caught in the process,>" Aegir rolled his eyes

"<Well, I'm psychic, I don't think he can resist all that much if I tried>"

"<Great, I'll make sure to call you over next time we're trepassing.>" Aegir sighed.

Diana then looks aside towards the plate of red poffins on the table and picks it up.

"Anyway, I've made these! Do you wanna try one?" she asked

"Sure, I'm always made to be your test subject anyway." He shrugged

Samson then picked one up and threw it up, catching it with his mouth and beginning to chew on it with glee. Said glee began fading away really quickly as his face began to get red and he covered his mouth with one hand before running off to get some water somewhere in the building while Diana is just left staring at the spot he was standing in, dumbfonded.

"I totally forgot he and spicy food don't mix but let's pretend this was totally planned as punishment for sneaking into that park" she thought.

Soleil then handed Aegir a pink poffin and he just stared at with suspicion

"<... No, thanks, I still value my sense of taste.>" He shook his head

Soleil giggled. "<These are sweet ones, I promise.>"

Aegir did a couple of double takes between Soleil and the poffin she was holding before sighing and deciding to go for it. He quickly swallowed down one of the poffins and glanced at Samson who was still frantically searching for water

"<I wonder when he'll remember that he has a water bottle in his backpack.>" Aegir began rubbing his head.

Hearthome Hospital

(Belinda lowers her hands, which rapidly ball into tight fists.)

Belinda: So what are we waiting for? Let's get inside his head and beat this thing up!

'Uzuri: Uh, hello? Nobody is exactly explaining what's going on here!

Tastes better on the way back down.

Hearthome, Jason's Room

Dane:-to Uzuri-It's complicated.

-Sigh-

Get comfy. Sen?

-The Gardevoir nods, shakily-

Sen:<Right...>

-He attempts to tap into the 'scape...-

-Beat-

<Eh?>

-Blink-

<I...can't get in?>

-Blitz steps aside and looks to Uzuri as Sen prepares-

Blitz : "Sorry, didn't notice you. Just... You know virtual reality? Start thinking along those lines. Except not electronic"

-He turns to the Gardevoir-

"Wait, what do you mean you 'can't get in'? I didn't know that was a thing..."

-Beat-

"Hold on a sec" -Blitz pulls out a pokeball and releases a female Natu- "Hey, Down. We got a problem, and frankly. Psychic stuff confuses me. You know anything about tapping into mindscapes?"

-The Natu headtilts, then briefly looks around the room to take stock of the situation before flutter-hopping onto Jason's bed-

Down: <Can't say I've done much with them, but I've heard rumors>

Hearthome Hospital

(Belinda wastes no time descending into a state of babbling panic. Uzuri, on the other hand, is starting to look annoyed.)

'Uzuri: Look, I don't appreciate being teleported against my will for reasons nobody will even try to explain! Who even are you?

Tastes better on the way back down.

Jason's Room

Dane:If I told you, you wouldn't believe me. I'm not the important one. The only one I needed here was Belinda. You hitched a ride!

-Hmph!-

Sen:<Alright then...Down. Try and visualize the others minds as strings...and well...tie them to Jason's?>

-Blitz sighs and turns to 'Uzuri-

Blitz: "Okay, understandable. I've got no clue who you are either. I'm Blitz, yes I understand pokemon and that's because my status as human is debatable."

-He points to Dane- "I have no clue who he is"

-He points to Jason- "Blut that's Jason, an auric, one of my best friends and Belinda's boyfriend last I checked. He recently had an arm chopped off and some of his pokemon stolen by the ghost of his great-something uncle possessing the body of who-knows-who. And apparently something unnatural is in Jason's head causing him to act in ways he shouldn't and by the sound of it the best way to fix him is to get psycho-magically projected into a representation of his mind and physically beat a representation of what's responsible to a bloody pulp. Got that?"

Down: <Hmmmm...>

-To 'Uzuri- ~You can either see for yourself, or sit here helping to watch everyone's sleeping bodies. But choose quickly~

-She turns back to Jason, and puts a wing on his head before trying to concentrate like Senshi described-

Hearthome Hospital

(It takes a minute for Blitz's explanatory spiel to sink in.)

Uzuri: ...okay then.

(She clears her throat politely.)

Uzuri: Name's Uzuri Blake. I like to think I'm Bel's best friend, though that may well have changed since she met you guys.

(Belinda is now struggling to breathe out of sheer worry.)

Uzuri: ... speaking of, someone help my best friend before she hyperventilates to death?

Tastes better on the way back down.

-After some period of wandering the group once again runs into a group of enemies-

-This one contains three Stymphalides, two Tuofei, Two Phantom Mages, and Two Murkrow with red-tipped wings holding torches-

Phobetor: <...Well, this'll be fun.>

-The two Murkrow first use Torment on Izanagi and Arahabaki, followed by a Reflect from one Tuofei and a Rain Dance from another-

-One Phantom Mage uses Confuse Ray on Seiten Taisei and another on Yomutsu Ikusa-

-One of the Stymphalides uses Focus Energy while two others use Assurance on Phobetor, nearly knocking her out-

Phobetor: <...Yup...>

CU, Tree Manor

Dune: Great, another Reflect. Seiten!

Seiten: On it.

-Seiten rears back for a Brick Break... before suddenly up is down and down is purple and the taste of wind sings of the polyester dreams.-

Seiten: @_@

-Seiten punches the wall, and the knuckles in his hand make a definite *crunch*. Dune leaps and hops as he nurses his is now-incredibly hurting hand.-

Dune: MOTHERFUCKER!

-Galvani rolls her eyes before Yurlungur finally appears.-

Galvani: <Watch and learn!>

-Yurlungur slams his tail against the wall, bringing down a ceiling collapse on top of the flight of birds.-

Siobhan: "So, officer. Now that I'm officially tagging along, mind telling me what this is about?"

-She turned to look at Amatsumagatsuchi.-

Siobhan: -with a pained smile.- "Sorry, Amatsu. You're a bit big for caves."

Jason's Room

-Strangely enough, while there is still a good bit of resistance, Down will eventually be able to tie the three minds to Jason-

-Dane sighs and walks over to Belinda-

Oh mom...

Dane:Hey...stop worrying? I mean...if yer gonna help him, ya can't be all...afraid and stuff. He needs you right now...

CU, Tree Manor

-Yomutsu Ikusa manages to dodge the Ray and counters with Heat Wave-

Lane:Geeeze, these are getting bigger and bigger...

Hearthome Hospital

(Belinda looks at Dane. His words of encouragement have had seemingly no effect; she's still hacking out shallow breaths through her fingers, her eyes are still wide as saucers...)

(Then she looks closer, and something about Dane abruptly clicks into place.)

(When she stops breathing heavily and lowers her arms, her face has become a determined grin.)

Belinda: ...yeah. I'm not gonna let some loser who doesn't even physically exist hurt my sweetheart.

Tastes better on the way back down.

Blitz: "...Wow, I figure'd you'd need a recap on a last one of those things"

-Beat-

"Oh! Uhm, Paper bags work for that if I remember-..."

-He turns, but Dane has already taken care of it.-

...I wonder how Sakura would react if I was in Jason's shoes,,,

Down: -To all three- ~I think I've got it. You'd better make yourselves comfortable~

Blitz: "Right, almost forgot about that"

-He takes a moment to find a safe spot to lay down-

-Then Down starts making the connections-

-Tex enters the cave, and searches for the area he found the glitch.-
