ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Stormchaser

-The girl just keeps smiling and being wonderful and happy to be here in the seat of the J-Team's power-

-Her Noctowl tries to subtly leave and go explore the halls-

Paula: Honestly, don't fuckin' blame ya. That shit's horrible.

-She immediately takes out a bottle of something much better quality, right in front of Clarice, and takes a sip from it.-

Paula: Well, good luck doing whatever the hell you're planning after you fuck off from here.

-Fuego is flipping through an accio'd cell phone-

Fuego: <OK so these websites say as long as it's not chocolate you can eat it, probably eat a Pecha berry with it if it is chocolate...>

<...but this chat thinks a lactaid is wise if you're eating a lot since most Pokémon species aren't lactose-tolerent. Although they talking about cows and buffalo and goats and other cryptids... it still sounds about right. Never heard of this Discord app though.>

Orange_Zoroark⚲_(lv28): -emerges from a multiverse portal and politely requests is phone back-

Fuego: <...we still need to fix that...> >_>;

-Elizabeth casts a glance at the waitress.-

Elizabeth: "A vanilla latte, a dark chocolate mocha with Skittynip infusion, a plate of bacon, and a dozen cake pops, please."

-The waitress nods and heads back.-

-Jess grins and tosses a Quick Ball up and down.-

Jessica: "We have rooms for fighting on the ship, too."

Stormchaser

"Yeah, let's just do that. Keeping track of all of this is hurting my head." Nana readjusted her bag, clearly ready to go elsewhere.

Neon: We'll take you to the battle room!

-he and Jared lead Nana and the girl inside-

-Julius smiles-

Julius: Thank you!

Shady House

(Clarice is too drunk to really register that Paula is drinking proper booze, fortunately.)

Clarice: Plans? Hah. Plans are for losers and people smart enough not to try and lead Team fuckin' Skull. Fuck.

Stormchaser

"Now we're talkin'!" Nana grins, hurrying to keep up with them with her shorter legs.

Stormchaser

-Yep, the mysterious girl is going to follow them to the battle room-

Maiden: Ooh, are we gonna have a scrap? A battle, a spar?

-Assume Jessica tags along.-

-Elizabeth blushes.-

-Of course, how much of it is visible because of her skin I don't know.-

Elizabeth: "You're welcome. It's the least I can do..."

Paula: You never know, y'know? Plans are a fun time sometimes. But whatever. Have fun!

-She starts to continue through the Shady House to see what other bullshit's been happening while she's been with Iron.-

Shady House

Clarice: Sure, sure.

(As Paula leaves, she tosses the lager bottle into the corner of the room. By the time it loudly shatters into countless razor-sharp pieces, Clarice has departed for the gates to Po Town herself.)

Ephemera: -...OK-

-cronch-

-Chatot Tropius-

-Ralts Celebi Bruxish?-

-the group arrives at THE ARENA-

Jared: So, who do you want to fight?

Julius: Hmm. Might take a bit for our food to get here... Tell me something about this world in the meantime.

Stormchaser

"Eh..." Nana mentally rifles through the type matchups, and cannot remember any of them. "...Someone who you think'll be a fair fight?"

Jessica: "Fire monotyper, so..."

Elizabeth: "Well...Give me somewhere to start."

-The pink haired girl is taking a spot on the sidelines while people figure out who's battling who. The Clefable has gone, but instead she now has a Frogadier, a Sneasel, a Ralts, and an extremely flappy Mantyke-

-The Noctowl may find Clefable following it however-

Stormchaser - Arena

Maiden: Do we have to choose from just here or can we challenge anyone in the J-Team to get over here and fight?

Stormchaser - Halls

Clocktowl: <This does not concern you. I am merely exploring>

Julius: Well...

-looking at the cats and King Of Town-

...These Pokemon. Tell me more.

Elizabeth: "My father told me many stories about them when I was younger."

"But...Pokémon. They are our companions, our teammates, ...our weapons."

"Once, man and Mon were not so different. But we both changed.:

"The Vow, of course, stems from those stories. A war...and the Vow was intended to stop it."

-She pauses, shaking her head.-

Elizabeth: "Sorry, you probably meant that literally. Pokémon come in combinations of 18-types. Personally, I like Psychic and Fairy types."

"Gods. Sorry, I'm just trying to figure out where to go with this."

"There's so much lore about them."

-She studies the table.-

Elizabeth: "People and Pokémon develop a bond. Or should. So much in our lives revolves around these bonds. Look at the peoplemons in this café. So different, yet so alike."

-She pulls her arms around herself.-

Elizabeth: "Sorry. I'm sure you don't wanna listen to my nerdy, pointless blabbering."

Julius: Oh, oh no, I wanted to know all of this! There's eighteen elements, you say?

Marco scowls.

Marco: <.. I just had a weird dream.>

“Fire... who? Listen, I don’t really care who, I just wanna battle someone.” Nana tosses Candy’s ball up and down impatiently.

-Elizabeth visibly brightens, smiling happily.-

Elizabeth: "Yeah, the 18 types. Normal, Fighting, Fire, Water, Grass, Rock, Electric, Steel, Ghost, Dark, Fairy, Dragon, Ground, Psychic, Flying, Ice, Bug, and Poison."

"Pokémon can naturally exist as any combination of the types, although some are more common than others. Some combinations, like Fairy-slash-Ghost, are exclusive to a certain species of Pokémon. And Deltas, but I'll tell you about those later."

"Each type has it's own weaknesses, resistances, and immunities. For instance, Water is weak to Electric and Grass while it resists Fire, Ice, Steel, and Water. The Fairy-type is weak to Poison and Steel, resists Bug, Dark, and Fighting, and is immune to Dragon. Thus, a Water/Fairy-type Pokémon would resist Fire, Ice, Water, Bug, Dark, and Fighting, would be immune to Dragon, and would be weak to Electric, Grass, and Poison."

"The moves Pokémon fight with are imbued with these elements, intentionally or not."

"There are also ways a Pokémon can change type. Some, like Greninja and Kecleon, can change to the type of the move they're attacking with. Others like Kecleon can change to the type of the last attack that hit them. Porygon can use a move to change their type, and other moves exist that add or change the type of another 'Mon. And then Silvally and supposedly Arceus can change to the type of the Disc and Plate or Z-Crystal they hold, respectively."

-She pauses.-

Elizabeth: "It's a lot to take in but you learn as you go. Your Tyrunt's a Dragon/Rock type, by the way."

Jessica: "We could do a Multi Battle."
