ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Manchineel: <Eh, fair enough. Guess I've gotten used to being able to talk to Soujin and he was able to say stuff since.>

Soujin: "Uh, well, they're kinda all around. Some are in Malie, some are in Tapu Village, others came around this area..."

Saitama: <Hm... I thought you were the person who did that kind of thing...>

-Maggie eventually arrives at the cave-

Maggie: "Okay, this should be it."

"And the closest of these guys are... where?" Colton asked, readjusting his headphones to be a little bit more comfortable.

<Come on, Sylveon.> Lucario noted. Sylveon rolled her eyes as they returned themselves.

Ula Ula Meadow

Corrobin: ...This looks excavated. Sam must've stolen a machine to dig it out with. But why?

-he slowly enters-

-Mezzo sighs-

Mezzo: I can't stop thinking about her... why did she have to disappear like that?

-she hugs her Nihilego drawing-

Mezzo: All I want is to see you again...

-the lake is strangely calm as the aspects and their ships approach one another-

-Ever Fangirl Mezzo is about to fire her cannon, when her ship is sunk by a glass tentacle appearing from the water!-

Ever Fangirl Mezzo: Abandon ship!

-the other ships are similarly grappled by tentacles as a giant glass jellyfish rises from the surface, crushing the boats with its many appendages-

-Ever Fangirl Mezzo swims away frantically-

Ever Fangirl Mezzo: What the hell...

-Forte walks in and notices an old woman petting a Jolteon-

Forte: Uh, hi. Are you...

-Forte looks at their list-

Forte: Jane, the Jolteon user?

Jane: Ooh, no one's called me by that title in a long time.

Forte: Hi. My name's Forte, and I'm Kagetora's new apprentice...

Jane: Who?

Forte: Um. Kagetora, the Eevee guy?

Jane: I don't remember any Kagetora.

Jane's Jolteon: <I do!>

Forte: Uh, you sure?

Jane: Well, my memory has been failing me lately.

Jane's Jolteon: <I remember Kagetora and his Eevee. They were great target practice.>

Jane: I suppose you'd want a battle, then? I can provide that.

Forte: Yeah, sure. Your Jolteon against mine?

Electro: <Bring it on!>

Jane's Jolteon: <Hehe.>

Soujin: "Uh... well, by virtue of Manchineel and me being some of those people I guess we count?"

Maggie: "Maybe there wasn't enough room with how it was normally? Maybe he wanted us to go through some dungeon section?"

"Well, you two are kind of a given." Colton mused. "I was thinking of whoever else could be involved."

Jane: All right, let's kick it off with a Thunder!

Forte: Come on Electro, show 'em your own Thunder!

-both Jolteon's hair stands on end, and sparks fly, then they each fire a lightning bolt skyward!-

-they crash down a moment later, each making a direct hit!-

-both Jolteon pause awkwardly-

Electro: <Uh...>

Jane: Maybe we should try something else.

Ace: <Oh? Me? I...was human, for a short time. The same way Gogie turns is how I changed. You must admit, hands can be much better than wings.>

Shaun: "Yeah, they are pretty handy."

Ace: <Why.>

Saitama: <Oh, huh, cool.>

Gogie: <Hey, I like hands. But paws are pretty great too. One could call them...>

<pawesome.>

Soujin: "Let's see... Shizuo... Phaz... Locke... Scarlette... Rose... Gudrunn... Alli..."

"Well, that's some of them, at least. I'd probably need to text any of them to see if they're around."

-Grinning, Shaun squats down and holds his hand out for a high-five/three.-

"Take as much time as you need." Colton comforted. "I'll just listen to some of my music. Give me a shake when you get contact, 'kay? Alright."

So he returned his headphones to their rightful position. His music started playing, no chance of conversation occurring without physical contact instigating it.

Ula Ula Meadow, cave

Corrobin: Sam wouldn't do that unless it somehow helped him con or steal from peoplemons...

-Suddenly the two Golurk from before block Maggie and Robin's path-

Golurk 1: Halt! We will not let you at Lord Sam's treasures.

-Robin blinks-

Corrobin: Lord? No one respects Sam but me...

-Gogie returns the high five with a high three-

Soujin: "Uh, alright."

-He sends out a text-

Maggie: "Yeah, that's kind of a thing that's happening now."

-to the Golurk- "Where is Lord Sam, exactly?"

-Shaun laughs and stands back up.-

Shaun: "Word of advice, Saitama, just...be careful who you tell. And watch what you say. Most trustworthy people will be fine with it, but I wouldn't tell everyone you meet. Mind you, Jamie almost let that Glameow outta the bag..."

Jamie: <Oops? Anyway, I know better now, Shaun.>

Abandoned Megamart

-Rose blinks as the Haunter drops a coconut.-

Domino: <...Think that'll be important?>

Rose: I don't really see how, but we might as well grab it just in case.

-She picks it up, looks it over, and puts it in her bag, before going to investigate the rustling boxes-

Ula Ula Meadow, cave

Golurk A: <Lord Sam is deeper in the cave, with his Hoard.>

Corrobin: I should mention Robin Loptyr wishes to see him.

Golurk 1: <Ooh, he's been looking for someone named that! This way, this way!>

-the two Golurk head down the tunnel. Robin follows-

Route 16 Center

-A few minutes later the two may see a blonde man in a teal Alolan shirt forcibly wrench the doors to the nearby center open as an Alolan Marowak tries to stop him-

Abandoned Thrifty Megamart

-the boxes continue rustling-

   -omniously-   

Abandoned Megamart

-Rose takes out her camera, gives the boxes a gentle nudge with her foot, and snaps a picture-

Saitama: <Oh, yeah, you did say something about that, didn't you, Kaisei?>

Gogie: <Uh... yeah. They're fine, but.>

Soujin: "Ah! Shizuo! We're out here!"

Maggie: "This... could be a thing. Convenient for now, at least."

Shaun: "Get a chance to do that yet? Or do you have to wait now?"

Abandoned Thrify Megamart

-A Gengar pops out!-

Gengar: <YAHAHA, YOU FOUND ME!    Now we duel!   >

-she lobs a Sludge Bomb-

Route 16 Center

Shizuo: ...Oh.

-he lopes over to the others and grumbles-

I was in a bad mood...

Alolan Marowak: <Sorry about him...>

Tunnel

-The two see a glittering light up ahead-

Corrobin: I'm not sure what to think of that...

Gogie: <Uh... what do you mean by 'that'?>

Maggie: "Well, we can choose to approach the light or ignore it. Unless you've got a better idea of how to go about this?"

Forte: Hm... how about a race?

Jane: Ooh?

Forte: You know, since Jolteon is the fastest Eeveelution.

Electro: -runs in circles- <Yeah! I bet I can totally beat this slowpoke!>

Jane's Jolteon: <Don't get too cocky, little miss.>

Jane: That's not a bad idea... a race around Malie Garden, perhaps?

Jamie: <The date with that Archer fellow!>

I AM THE BOX GHOST!

Domino: <Ack!>

-Domino is hit hard by the sudden Sludge Bomb, and subsequently poisoned.-

Rose: Well, this could be going better. Drill Peck!

-Like before, Domino jabs the Gengar with his beak.-
