ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Should I help at all? Seeing as you only have one hand...

-spotting Ian and Electivire sitting by a tree with Rampage, Masque, and Weavile, I start running towards them, but trip on something, dislodging Dana and Robin and sending them flying-

OW! Sorry, guys. I don't know what that was.

-Robin merely climbs onto my shoulder again, but Dana goes over and sniffs at what tripped me. I walk over to her and lean down to pick her up, then stop and pick the thing up-

Hey! It's my Pokeball belt! I forgot I left it here!

Dana: <So you don't normally keep Pokeballs in your pockets?>

Only when they don't fit on the belt. It only has room for six Pokeballs. Everyone else keeps their Pokeball somewhere safe, or I carry it.

-starts to clip it on, then realizes there's still an Ultra Ball attached to it-

Huh? Why is there still... Oh jeez.

-clips on the belt and takes the Pokeball. It enlarges. I sigh and start walking towards Ian and the others, Dana running along by my heel-

Cobalt: <The other elevator has stopped.>

Good.

-Jumps onto the other elevator and gets inside before opening the doors abd sticking to the walls on the fourth floor-

Keldeo: Oh, vous n'avez pas? Je vais essayer de parler anglais, alors. -Ahem.- Hello! Can you understand me now?

-stops in front of them and holds out the Pokeball-

Masque: <Oh no, we're going to have this conversation. Let's go find some newbies to teach, Rampage.>

-the two get up and leave as discreetly as an Alakazam and Mamoswine can. Weavile looks a bit uncomfortable but stays where she is. Ian and Electivire exchange glances-

You didn't let her out.

Ian: <No, we didn't.>

Why not?

Electivire: <We took a vote. Majority didn't want her running around.>

Look, I know you don't like her, but she promised—

Ian: <We know.>

... How do you know?

Electivire: <Damian is fantastic at using computers. He found an Internet video of you yelling at her.>

-face palms-

Well, I guess that's what I get for not finding someplace more private than the street next to the Pokemon Center...

Yeah.

Oh, um....Yes. I can.

...

Are you really Keldeo? -wonders if I should kneel or something-

Keldeo: Oui! That's me! I'm one of the Sabot Warriors! Well...Nearly. I'm still in training!

Oh. -eyes are very wide- Wow....

- Has found something for Latias -

Clerk: That'll be 3000 pokedollars.

- Nods, and pays the money -

Clerk: Thank you. Shall I send it to your underground PC?

- Shakes head -

Clerk: Is there anything else I may do for you?

- Shakes head -

Clerk: Please come again!

- I put the item purchased into my backpack, before stepping away from the counter -

Okay, now that that's been taken care of, is there anything else I should buy while I'm here?

- Thinks about this for a moment -

Keldeo: -Looks proud.- Yep! Me and Mister Cobalion, Mister Terrakion and Miss Virizion have been keeping Unova safe ever since Miss Reshiram and Mister Zekrom split apart! Bonté, that was a while ago!

Okay, where's our first stop?

-Is looking over-

Nudi: <What did she get?>

I can't tell, she's too far away to get a good look.

W-wait. Reshiram and Zekrom exist too?

Keldeo: Of course they do! In fact, Monsieur Luke was Madame Reshiram's boyfriend for a while! Didn't you know that?

- Continues thinking for a while, before shrugging my shoulders slightly -

... Guess there isn't really anything else I really need here.

- Decides to use the escalators to get back down to the first floor this time -

So, after hearing her promise, you still don't want her out?

Ian: <I have no problem with her. Myself and a handful of others voted to let her out. We lost. That's democracy for you.>

-turns to Electivire-

What about you?

Electivire: <I don't like her. I don't like how she makes you and everyone around her angry. I voted to keep her in the ball.>

She can't stay in there forever. And remember, she did decide to join the team. Twice.

Electivire: <She could have purely selfish reasons for doing so.>

Or she could have other reasons for doing so! Look, how about we just set someone to watch her? I'd prefer to let her try to be good on her own, but if you don't trust her—

Electivire: <Who? Ian?>

Ian: <Why me?>

Electivire: <It was just a suggestion!>

No, I have a better one. Windu.

Electivire: <I... have never spoken with him much. His lack of inflection makes having a conversation difficult. I don't know much about him.>

Ask Obi-Wan or Anakin about him. He isn't their favorite 'mon in the world, but I think they'll agree he's right for the job.

-she shrugs-

Electivire: <Fine. It's your decision. You're the Trainer.>

Sometimes I wish... Nevermind. All right. By the way, have you seen Izzie and Ryder?

Robin: <I am not Ryder.>

Ian: <'Course you're not, you're Robin. Ryder was talking to Anakin, but I think he went off with Skywalker a bit ago. Izzie was here for a little while, then went off to explore.>

Thanks. See you guys later.

-turns and walks off, clutching the Ultra Ball-

-Goes down on another escalator-

.......Wait, what? How—wha—

-Lands in front of where star works-

I have to go get the package from here.

-Looks at Anom- Lily's going to give me such a hard time about this...

-goes inside-

Keldeo: It did seem a bit étranges to me at first...But they really did love each other, and that's what counts, right? But...I suppose it doesn't matter, since Madame Reshiram eventually got togther with Monsieur Zekrom. But that's okay! They go really well together!

- Eventually gets back to the first floor and heads back outside -

-Follows Star in-

(To Keldeo) Oh. Um...that's good?

-is near town, leaning against a tree, rolling the Ultra Ball between my hands-
