ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Begins flipping through the tome, reading pages from every section at random-

Roasted Ducklett... Inserting objects into your clear orb... Mystical object repair... Optimum training ages for Cubone...

-Closes the book-

How would one go about finding molten glass anyway?

Maekrite (stares at Muddy, confused) — <...Dunno... Humans don't transform into Pokémon, that's be ridiuclous... it'd have to be like, what, another universe...> (Shakes head) <And don't try to distract me! It's the imagery of falsehood that you should care the most.>

Dintel — <Please, Maekrite, can you just, like, be huggable for once? I promise things are all right, seriously...> (Begins to walk towards Tagg) <See? He's not doing anything bad to cute little Dintel!>

Maekrite — <What are you doing? Dintel, come back here! COME HERE I SAID!> (rushes towards Dintel and kicks him down)

Dintel — <...Ouch... my arm...!> (starts crying loudly) <Trainer is gonna punish me!>

Maekrite (stands before Dintel) <Now stop this game, imagery of falsehood! No matter who you try to hypnotize, you'll not get this container! It will be your Pokémon *stares at Muddy threatingly but respectfully* who shall suffer because of your cheating!>

-Hears and sees Breeze while gliding-

<Vlad: "Oh, hi the-">

-Hears Dintel crying-

<Vlad: "Erm... I kinda need to go take care of something first... Could I come back later?">

-Elsewhere-

"Darn it Vlad, why did you have to cut across the field?"

Breeze: <Sure.> -floats off, but is caught in Vlad's slipstream- <Wai-augh!>

But now I'm causing the topic to be delayed again and it's my fault since I could have had my battle earlier and my computer is really lagging and aaaargh.

-Is gliding towards Maekrite-

<Vlad: "MAEKRITE, STOP!">

-Sees Vlad gliding towards Maekrite, who is staring down Muddy-

"Ooh boy, I'm just going to love the explanation for this, aren't I?"

-Is getting annoyed-

Man are you hard headed, probably one of the most hard-headed Pokemon I've ever met. I am not an illusionist damn it!

— Damn, why are these things taking so long? I really want to go have that private interview with Latias...

(Pokégear rings)

— Uuh? (check) Weird... it's from the pilot guy.... But I handed Tagg all the papers and permits... Let's see... (answers) Hey, Juanito, what's going on?

Juanito from the other side of the Line — Hey, Mr. Silent? There's something pretty weird going on here at the container site...

— Oh? But everything should be fine!

Juanito from the other side of the Line — Well, somethin weird happened... Mr. Tagg came by, he's wearing some documents and suddenly your Nidorino attacked him... oh wait...

— What? How? *starts grabbing all his stuff* Juanito? JUANITO?

Juanito from the other side of the Line — Mr. Silent, you better be hurry, your Sandshrew is down in the ground! It seems Tagg and your Pokémon are fighting for so—! *click*

— ... Juanito? ... Oh, Crap!...

(Me stands up, tries to move up the stands, holds some papers in hands, some others in mouth)

Huh? What's up, Silent?

-at the container, Basket touches down-

Basket: <Oh really now, what is it this time?>

-Turns to Basket-

Maekrite here thinks that my ability is some kind of dirty trick, could you convince him otherwise, please?

<Vlad: "Makerite... WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! This is TAGG! You've seen him before!">

-Finally catches up with Vlad-

"What's going on?"

-listening to the conversation-

Orbs, huh? I bet that they-

Buizel:''HEY, EVERYBODY! A IS LISTENING TO YOU!''

Basket: <Maekrite? Tangent and Silent are already working on that translation machine, as ridiculous as it may be. What's it matter if a human has the ability from some other way?>

I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! My shift ran way later than expected.

Who all wants to know their second round? First round battles yet to be fought: Anom, Meddler, Slouch, me.

-Begins looking for something round to use as a mould-

Maekrite — <Basket! Good thing you're here! Some psychic Pokémon, maybe a Kirlia and or Bronzong, is trying to impersonate Tagg! They even brought a Pokémon of their own! (steps forward and points at Muddy)>

Dintel (Steps up) — <That's not it! Vlad! Basket! Sorry... but Tagg here showed to understand Maekrite, and since he's here guarding this giant box he's gone defensive! *turns back to Maekrite* You just need to relax! Tracer can come later with cookies!>

Maekrite — <What you mean with a machine? To translate Pokémon? But isn't Trainer still working on it? What is this then?>

Wolf, I won't be here tomorrow, so the first round will need to last to Tuesday so I can have my battle. Sorry. I should have had it earlier since I knew I'd not be here Monday...

I haven't decided what my second round team's going to be like yet Wolf.

Muddy: <Listen to Vlad and Basket Maekrite.>

Like Muddy said, I got my ability under some weird circumstances.

It can wait until then if it needs to. To catch you up, we'll give you a double-header. Two in a row.

Maekrite — <Are you sure, Basket?> (Starts looking at Muddy up and down) <Are you really you Muddy? You're not, like, hypnotized or something?>

Got my second-round team sorted: Revol, Oakley, Tepig, Jammer, Nets, /Duck/

Double header? Why? If I had one battle, wouldn't I be caught up since everyone else would have only had one battle so far? Or will we begin Round 2 before I finish Round 1?

Muddy: <Of course not, do we need Cobalt to come here and tell you the same?>

Buizel is going to be trouble...

What is this talk of orbs?

I love how no one noticed Buizel.

-Looks at Jane-

Do you think that these orbs are linked to the first Zodiacs?
