ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

The Metagross is slammed into the ground, and, barely hanging on, attempts to slam Corrin into the ground in an Earthquake.

Artoria, meanwhile, dashes around the edge and attempts to get at Mordred...

Only for the Nihilego to pop out, and yank Mordred in through the portal with an angry teke-lili.

What stops Artoria from doing the stupid thing and diving into the portal after Angra Mainyu is a large, metallic Golurk stepping out of the portal and punching her, sending her skidding back, followed by a Bisharp leading a dozen or so Pawniard.

Artoria: <What the->

“Because I want to try out every single Zed-Crystal I have, as well as decide which lyrics will be used for their activation. Generator Buster already has its associated lyrics, so I might as well set the others.

“Besides, not only does he not have Electrium Zed on hand, he doesn’t even need it.”

Like clockwork, a monstrous bolt of electricity came flying from 9-Volt towards Marina. The poison did its work soon after, forcing him to return 9-Volt, as he couldn’t battle anymore.

“You and poison,” he observed.

D.C. and... Caliburn. How did he forget?!

“Hey, is this fine?” He asked Kaisei, holding up the Beast Ball.

Jungle of General Japery

“Nope,” Colt confessed. “Is it okay to give specifics?” he whispered to Pent, as the Unovan was still confused about if doing so wasn’t a bad idea.

-Echo pets Basil.-

Echo: Oh, of course. It's this way.

-She ceases petting the Manectric to start moving in a direction.-

-The Earthquake manages to stagger the Feral Dragon enough to stop her Outrage, leaving her dazed and disoriented, but no less vicious.-

Corrin became confused due to fatigue!

-She roars. A familiar torrent of water rages around her, tearing through everything and everyone around her without caution for her allies.-

Corrin used Torrential Roar!

Grandpa Max: Much appreciated, but, first thing's first. Evelyn, think you could find where the closest auto shop is around here?

Evelyn: -on her phone- On it.

Rotary: <Well, alright.>

PEFE!Every: I should probably be getting back; I'd prefer if nobody notice I left. Please, let me know if anything changes, and I'll mail you the Psychic TM.

Click!

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Basil: -huffs happily and follows her-

Channah: Thanks. -walking after them- ...So, uh. Do you just throw parties now, or what?

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Echo: Would you believe me if I said that was my first time organizing such a party?

Scarlette: ...Okay. Will do.

-Without much else to do, she just gets ready to sleep.-

The Torrential Roar staggers most of the Pawniard, but the Bisharp and the Golurk are just fine. The already-weaked Metagross, however, being at ground zero, is out.

Artoria is, again, mostly fine, she's high level and she's got the type advantage. She moves to engage the Golurk, flaring up another Solar Blade.

Lin and the rest of her team run up

Lin: "Okay is the dragon on our side this time or do we have a free-for-all?"

Mòrag: <I don't know!>

Lin: "Mòrag did you go and -"

Mòrag: <It was prudent at the time!>

Lin: "... Right, well, we need to deal with this. Zhu, take the Golurk... thing. Muramasa, be helpful and start clearing out Pawniard. Zia, deal with the Bisharp. Mòrag, Brighid... you two seem to have it well in hand, just continue what you're doing."

Mòrag moves to engage the Bisharp with Zia, while Brighid stays waaaaay back and Calms her Mind.

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Channah: -gives her a quick glance- Yeah.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

-The Dragon's blind rage continues with her attempting to gore the already-unconscious Metagross with her horns.-

-Luckily, the Metagross is made of metal, and all she accomplishes is clanging off its carapace and sticking her horns in the ground, leaving her to thrash madly to get them dislodged.-

Corrin hurt herself in confusion!

Petunia: <Yeah, she had a grand total of one friend throughout college.>

Echo: When you say it like that, it almost sounds humiliating.

JD looked at Sholto, "I've got auto-translate application, even outside the shell it should run, however as it is tech, sometimes the auto misses a mark or two."

JD shrugged and then looked at the noodle shop, "This is the location listed. Do you think we'll find anything? It's been months since this happened, they've probably cleaned up..."

"And yet I can't stop moving forward."

Before JD's sight appeared Clever again, "Hey, good cop isn't the only option, if need be, play bad cop. Break things, threaten them, you're stronger and faster than any human around..."

And just like that Clever vanished with parting words, "Don't be afraid to use them."

JD adjusted his tie, "Still... we've come this far."

Tae has fallen out of his seat in laughter, Silas has never seen a Swampert laugh so much, "Phaz why would yo-"

Tae tossed the die, <I'm taking his idea!>

Nat 20, Silas let out the longest groan and placed his face in his palms, "You can't seduce the ship as it's just a spaceship!"

Tae's grinning like a madman, <Doesn't hurt to try.>

Silas lay in his bed, starring at the ceiling, he was uncomfortable. He had a idea why but he refused to acknowledge it, he wanted to power through this feeling and just sleep, but it felt wrong. Hacks had noticed before he slept and was staring at him.

~Well...~

"Well what?"

~You gonna pull it on?~

"I have no idea what you mean."

~Stop lying, you can't hide it, and you know I'm not gonna judge you for it.~

"Then why are you staring at me?"

~Because I want to see it happen.~

Silas sat up and grumbled, staring at his Lucario who gave him a smug smirk. Silas conceded, got out of bed and marched over to his dresser and picked up his scarf, pulling it on, and marching back over to bed.

<Happy?>

~Very.~

Silas grumbled and lay down, <Can't wait to have a arm again, that way I can flip you off easier. I can do it twice.>

Hacks laughed, ~Come on being a Lucario isn't so bad.~

<The compulsive need to be like this on some nights just to sleep is.>

Hacks shrugged, ~Maybe you should see a therapist. I heard talk someone might finally be available for the J-Team.~

Silas sighed and just attempted to make himself comfortable, within a few minutes he was out cold.

Silas opened his eyes and was treated to the white void, he looked down at his hands, human again. Okay, so dreamworld, if he's lucid dreaming, he could make it whatever he wanted. Well at least he still had his left arm here, so that was fun, now the big question was; what the hell should he make?

Silas opted for a simple chair to plot out his dreamscape world, but before he could even get started he was interrupted, <YOU!>

He looked over and saw a angry Lucario, it was Stylus. "Oh."

Stylus was part of him, not a split personality, just the vocalization of thoughts he had been suppressing, and judging by the red shoulder and missing arm, Silas had a idea of what Stylus was angry about.

<I finally show up, and I see you've lost a arm, and are acting rather calm about it!>

"Please relax, I'm still in pain and you know this.>

<AND YOU AREN'T REACTING! GRAAAAAAH! WHY?!>

"Mostly because I've been suppressing the reaction, phantom pain hurts I get it, but I can't just let it overtake me."

Stylus grumbled, <You could at least be me more, we express emotion more as Stylus.>

Silas sighed, "I like just being Silas."

<That's a lie considering I still exist. I represent everything you attempt to hide from yourself, remember?>

"This is weird."

Stylus nodded, <Still... getting a new arm built. That should be fun.>

Silas smiled a bit, "Yeah. Transformative, that convinced me to keep the scarf."

<Good. You know you want to keep this up, and losing this would suck.>

The two sat next to each other and Silas started to construct a small airport like area around them, "What should I build?"

Stylus smirked, <What else? Go wild. We love space.>

Artoria: <That... solves the Feral Corrin problem, for the moment at least.>

The Bisharp and Pawniard are engaged and loosing ground because they're mooks, meanwhile, the Golurk is having slightly more luck, throwing a Shadow Ball at Zhu before taking a Solar Blade with six stages of Attack up to the face.

This hurts significantly less than one might expect, but it still hurts.

Zhu, meanwhile, Dragon Claws the Golurk.

Channah: I mean that could also apply to me. -shrugs again- So what you're saying is you just - dick around now?

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Alex: It should be close, right? Or I could rig something up.

Contact Me!

-The Dragon reorients herself, and it registers that the Metagross probably isn't going to be a threat anymore.-

-She turns toward the largest thing in the area, that being the Golurk, and charges directly at it, kicking up water that swirls around her.-

Corrin used Waterfall!

Echo: That's more or less an accurate summary, yes. I don't exactly have a world-ending organization to run, so now I stick to odd jobs, library binges, and pushing Tagg's buttons.

Channah: Huh. Good gig. -thinks for a second- ...Right, you gave him that card. Pff.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

-Echo grins-

Echo: Care to see the previous two cards? It's a tradition at this point.

Channah: Yeah, Tagg told me. Wynaut.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

-Echo pulls out the 2016 and 2017 cards.-

Channah: -rolls her eyes at the 2017 card- Welp, those are... cute. -leans back and adjusts her jacket- Good thing you guys are ah, friends, 's all I can say.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Between another Solar Blade (thanks to a Sunny Day from Brighid), the Waterfall, and a Clanging Scales from Zhu, the Golurk is launched a few feet into the air, before crashing down.

Meanwhile the mooks Bisharp and Pawniard, seeing their heavy hitter go down, retreat back through the portal.

Artoria: <After them!>

A voice calls out from the forest. <Artoria, wait. You must gather your party before venturing forth.>

Artoria: <Merlin?>

The Golurk attempts to rise, priming an Ice Beam to fire at Artoria while she's distracted.

Lin tackles Artoria out of the way, rolling out of the tackle as the strap holding her mask snaps and goes flying. Zhu knocks the thing unconscious with another Clanging Scales.

Lin: "... Well shit I knew I should've replaced that."

As she looks up, it becomes incredibly obvious she looks very similar to Mordred (or Artoria, they are twins), but much tanner.

Artoria: <Who, exactly, are you.>

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

-Anna smiles.-

Anna: <You'll make a fine addition to our collection.>

Elizabeth: :Okay then. Let's get a room."

Beat

Elizabeth: FOR BATTLING!

Kaisei: "I thought you were Unovan?"

-The Thunder elicts a yelp from Marina. Kaisei shrugs.-

Kaisei: "Why not?"

Marina: <Actually->

-ShAUn just walks up to a passerby.-

AU!Shaun: "Do you know where the nearest auto shop is?"

???: "Um...yeah, it's..."

-She tells ShAUn and points in the appropriate direction.-

AU!Shaun: "Thanks."

-He turns to the group.-

AU!Shaun: "Coming, or am I going there by myself?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Stormchaser

"Hey, I'm indecisive, I bounce between the two pronunciations," he explained, punctuating his explanation by throwing the Beast Ball.

Caliburn materialized and went for the finish.

Veld: <Why do people want gold, or art, or Pokémon, or stamps? Collection is its own end.>

Kori: <Oh come on.>

-she grabs Marco & drags him to the tub-

Michalis: <Definitely prep.>

Veld: <Michalis.>

Michalis: <Why do I have to- bap!>

Michalis used Feint Attack, reluctantly

-the Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon dash in, the former having dispatched Fuzz handedly-

Jolteon: <It's probably a box on the wall or ceiling, looks like a wifi router.>

Flareon: <Access Point.>

Vaporeon: <Other Netflix Box.>

Riiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggggg

-as the detectives walk down the street towards the noodle shop, they may note the Casino along the way-

Mew: ~Oh! Can I give Tae a glamour to make them more attractive to the spaceship?~

-Sol yanks the skates off of Brebre-

Brebre: <I... don't think I'm buying the skates.>

Sol: -glancing at his selected outfit- Does this do anything I should be concerned about?

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Other!Jab: <Argh!>

-he's knocked sprawling by the Feint Attack, and brought to the red-

Other!Jab: <So uh. First of all, I'm more goth than you will ever be. And second of all, Daffy Dave—>

-he inclines his head at Veld as the alarm goes off-

<For a master of the mystic arts, you are easily fooled by a simple misdirection. Pursuit this [Transylvania] Fried Chickeeeeeeeen>

-and he teleports away, leaving a scorch mark in the shape of a winking Weavile face-

Jab: <Crap! That doesn't give us a whole lot of time...>

-he casts his eyes around the room, until...-

Man MI an Ihope hopethat's that'sthe theright rightbox box...

-he shakes his head again, to focus-

Alright, this isn't exactly my strong suit...

-Jab casts out his mind at the psychic jammer, attempting to shut it down through sheer spite-

Jab used Embargo!

I can't believe I actually had the thought "I wish Yinyang were here." I feel dirty.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Marco is dragged, hissing like a catmon the whole way.

off the shits
