ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

PEFE HQ

-To Channah-

Well, checking on my mons, mainly, and I visited the site of an old battle of mine. Well, part of it, random portion of the Sea of Kyogre doesn't really make for good visiting.

PEFE HQ

Channah: Oh, like a sea battle? Huh. Um. -pause- Hey, uh - We're still on, right? With uh... us?

PEFE HQ

-To Channah-

More like a battle above the sea and this island, Diane and SleepyHead Maggie's Hypno actually killed Veðrfölnir, the one who died in the jungle, I was primarily fighting an oversized cyborg Braviar-Yeah, of course.

PEFE HQ

Channah: Oh. Okay. Good. Just making sure.

Dolabella: -snickers-

PEFE HQ

-To Channah-

Yeah, we don't need to have our faces basically surgically attached to one another to be together and stuff. That's how things work between Sol and I.

Downtown [LA] - Gym

-Maria faints and is recalled.-

Maria: "Hmm...Salvatore!"

-A Honchkrow takes the field.-

Salvatore: <Ah. A pity about this sandstorm.>

Luca: "There's a nice [Italian] place nea' hea'. It'z Dona Benedetta's favorite. I alsk got an apartmen' if you lookin' for somethin' more personal."

PEFE HQ

Channah: -nods- A-Alright. Yeah. I just, I'm not sure how to uh, do things in a - relationship. Just trying not to get anything wrong off the bat. -shrugs-

Ken: "Hm..."

He considers.

"Let's try the restaurant and if that goes well, then we'll try the apartment?"

PEFE HQ

Should I try holding her hands? Yes, go hold her hands Tagg, that should be more comforting than it was before.

-To Channah, doing exactly that-

Well, this sort of thing is new to me too. The whole polyamory thing, I mean.

Clay Cave, En Route To Minecart:

Mark spent the next several minutes storming off back where they came, with Chopper following a little further than behind than usual. He didn't seem that uneasy though, but it wasn't because he was oblivious to what was going on...in actuality he knew perfectly well what happened and remembered a few other situations where Mark's temper got the better of him and knew how to deal with it. Usually it required Chopper to do absolutely nothing, no more than maybe a pat on the shoulder at most. There were one or two moments where he'd actually need a hug...but those were stories from another time.

"Look...I'm sorry about what happened earlier, I know it was stupid..." Mark began after finally reaching the mine cart and coming to a halt. He then continued while keeping his gaze to the ground, "I just...fucking hate it when people treat me like I'm some stupid little kid. It wouldn't even matter if my birthday wasn't exactly a week from now, I've practically had to grow up and take care of myself for a couple years. It wasn't easy, and I had to get real fucking good at battling to make ends meet, I didn't do it just for the pride."

Mark takes a moment to stop speaking as he clambers back into the minecart, struggling briefly to pull himself in before falling over and then seating himself.

"If it wasn't for me being able to graduate early, I'd be a damn NEET...unless being a trainer counts as a job...and in case it wasn't obvious, I'm not exactly the best at talking to people. I'm not shy, I don't instinctively hate people...I just can't deal with all the flowery bullshit people use talking around in circles, trying to sound nice when half of them couldn't care less about you. I prefer to get straight to the point and tell it like it is, even if they don't like it."

Harold is looking a little confused as to why Snakeye did that, "Okay... Tae you're up."

Tae marches up and looks over the Honchkrow, <Well, this should be fun.>

"Okay, let's start off basic, Water gun!"

Tae nods and proceeds to spit water like a hose at Salvatore.

-At this point, Kai has definitely finally gone back to the Battle Frontier.-

-Let's take the opportunity to focus on some other characters!-

-Vierr is gearing up to explore the depths of the facility, because that's a good idea.-

-Skye, Diane, and Alyssa are all in their shared module, if you know where to look.-

-Rose and Scarlette seem to be getting ready to head somewhere else.-

-Mason is...-

-Oh, right.-

-Echo is in her office on the Stormchaser.-

-And finally, Evan, along with Evelyn and Grandpa Max, are somewhere near the landing bay.-

Hajime hears Mark's explanation.

Hajime: "Yeah, it's fine, I get it. I get why. We're just kind of different in that way. Compared to you I usually just shrink inward."

"And... Even if I'm not much of a fighter, I've got my own problems with people thinking I'm not capable enough, so you're not alone."

"So, don't worry. We'll get these guys. We'll show them. We'll help them!"

PEFE HQ

A certain Unovan had leaned back against a wall somewhere in the hall, a laptop resting on his knees as he slammed away on the keyboard, the screen filled with a bunch of programming language.

He seemed to be just about done, if his more constant usage of closed brackets were any indication. Someone may have noticed him on his own, just sitting there, alone save for his laptop, backpack and the bunched-up gray jacket supporting his lower back, exposing his shirt with six squares, each showing a sixteen-bit version of one of his original six team members, for the world to see.

Lumiose Alleyway

Pichu the First's notched ear flicked in annoyance and confusion.

<I think Rowlet said he wants to evolve,> Second summarized.

First nodded understanding and tried to sleep off the headache.

PEFE HQ

-The Heidens are about the base-

-Specifically, Lane’s seemed to take over a small research/library module-

-And the smol known as the Iggy is wandering about, bright eyed and curious-

Clay Cave:

Mark can't help but smirk a little bit at Hajime's sense of determination. "We've gone too far to give up at this point, like I'd even consider it..." He states. Once everyone is inside the minecart, Mark orders his Machop to jump out and kick the minecart to give it a push, clearly not anticipating just how strong the little guy is. Mark barely manages to recall his mon inside his pokeball, much to Chopper's surprise and utter dismay as the cart goes barrelling across the tracks, en route to Mistralton Cave.

Tagg's Office

Metal: <Wait, the asshole called you? What did he say?>

PEFE, Channah

Archer: Uh, twenty, thirty years? It's 2018, right?

PEFE, Eva

Alex: -waves- Good luck!

PEFE, Finn

???:    Oh, I'm real all right. And I have something to offer.   

Edited by Umbramatic on Sep 3rd 2018 at 2:06:05 PM

Finn talks to the strange voice, not entirely sure where to look.

Finn: <...And what would that something be?>

Hajime nods, gets in, and holds on tight.

PEFE HQ

-Brie is still mostly resting up after the events of the Memito Movie. PEFE!Every has found her, and is currently in the room, typing away-

Brie: ...What are you up to?

PEFE!Every: Troubleshooting report for the Mobius Society.

Brie: ...Why?

PEFE!Every: Because I am a conscientious employee.

Brie: ...For the bad guys.

PEFE!Every: The what?

PEFE HQ, Elsewhere

-Avery and Amanita are still wandering-

Avery: This is a lot to take in.

Amanita: It was when I joined too.

Avery: Again I have joined nothing ...And I guess I've missed my gig? Does time work differently here?

Amanita: If it's any consolation, your gig was almost certainly cancelled when the monsters showed up.

Avery: ...

-she sighs-

Guillaume's Apartment

Ever: I have to thank you for this.

Guillaume: Would you not if you didn't?

Ever: Well, you never know.

-they yawn-

Guillaume: You're sure you're alright?

Ever: I'm feeling significantly better, yes.

Guillaume: ...But are you alright?

Ever: ...Yes, I'm fine.

-they roll their eyes-

I turn up at your door with most of my bones broken one time, and suddenly you get all worried.

Guillaume: Strange, I know.

Downtown [LA] - Gym

-Sal ruffles his feathes in annoyance as they are coated in water and sand.-

Salvatore: <How uncouth.>

-A white orb flies up, eliminating the sandstorm.-

Luca: "Sur' thing, Ken. I get off afta this anyway."

PEFE HQ, Near Vierr

-Isbrand gives her new sword a few swings, clearly healed.-

-She's been busy too. A new katana - a black-red gradient to it - a new wrist mounted computer (a step up from three buttons), and a smaller blade...suspicouslu identical to AU!Shaun's.-

Harold looks over the situation, Snakeye is being quietly revived and brought off to the side, he's out but he can at least watch.

Snakeye feels the warm sun and smiles, then he realizes, <Well this is a goddamn bitch of a unsatisfactory situation.>

"Tae, care to bless the rains?"

Tae starts laughing and does a little dance, somehow rain clouds form and it starts raining.

Tae takes a deep breath in, <Love the mud around us.>

-Vierr sees Isbrand, and raises an eyebrow.-

Vierr: ...Someone's feeling edgy today.

Ken nods and then watches the weather war.

PEFE HQ

Carrying a laptop, backpack and jacket, a Unovan enters the same library-type place Lane is in. He shoves his hands into his back as he stretches before sitting down and slamming away on the keyboard once again. Quiet, obviously.

He grabbed a half-finished can of Lemonade from his backpack and got back to work. Lane might have noticed.

PEFE HQ, Archer!past

Channah: So not that far. Wonder if I'm still alive then. -shrugs, then stops walking- ...Okay, now I'm lost. -looks around at whatever module they've ended up in-

Lo: -to Archer- <May I ask the nature of your mission?>

PEFE HQ, Tagg!past

Channah: -shivers slightly as she looks down at their joined hands- Yeah... Well, that's something, I guess. Heh. How long have you uh, been - wanting this?

Stormchaser, today

Channah: -is in her room, staring at her pill bottle- Hmmmmmmmmm...

Mari: <Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!>

Channah: Hey.

Mari: <Oh, I'm sorry! I thought we were humming!>
