ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-In a house in Celadon-

<Leana: "WHAT?!">

<Pascal: "Dude... You're not serious, are you?">

<Nathan: "Dead serious. That was what was in my dream yesterday.">

<Zoe: "But how do you know that it's trustworthy? Dreams are deceptive sometimes...">

<Nathan: "It was in some Dream World place.">

<Buster: "... Kit was talking about that place a couple of days ago...">

<Zoe: "... So what do we do now?">

<Guy: "We fly there and bust Tracer out, what else?">

<Pascal: "Uh... Dude? Half of us can't fly...">

<Nathan: "Yeah, and Kyle said that he and the others got sucked out of the air when they got too close...">

<Leana: "We need to do something! Tracer and the others could be in great danger right now!">

<Pascal: "... You don't suppose that the little dudes from earlier...?">

<Zoe: "OH!">

<Guy: "What are you two talking about?">

<Buster: "Think you could squeeze into that washing machine, Nathan?">

<Nathan: "I could try...">

<Leana: "Someone please explain what's going on...">

<Zoe: "There might be another way to get to Tracer.">

<Buster: "It's a long shot, but it's still a shot...">

<Guy: "Then what are we waiting for?! Let's DO this!">

-Generalized displays of surprise and amazement at the new pieces of lore-

"Resurrected? As in truly live again!"

"What are those Pokémon like?"

"He's not going to take roolil from us then?"

"Are they like Persian, or like Arcanine, or like Rattata, or nothing like that?"

"What do we do with the city now?"

-The elders concert for a moment and call to attention-

Elder #1 — <That still leaves some other pressing business... We'll leave the subject matter of the human city and the Nildrow with strange powers for another time.> — turns to the others — <What do we do with our human then?>

-Inka shies away-

Elder #2 — <Well, he's not gonna be sacrificed, and he's not exactly the guilty one here...>

Elder #3 — <He was still the one who promised to take care of this...>

-The elders deliberate for a while; meanwhile, Inka ponders the possibility that she has to pay in a specific way...-

Elder #2 — <Well, he was scheduled to be exiled. And punishing Inka is out, too.>

One of the elders steps forwards and thumps on the ground.

Elder #1 — <Then we change it to community service! He must do a service to the community by recovering our 'roolil''!>

Elder #3 — <But he is always doing communi-oooof!> — receives a horn poke from somewhere, deep enough to make him shut up.

-Uniform agreement is soon reached; then some messengers come from the city carrying news, and the Elders turn to Luke-

Elder #1 — <Our fates have already been decided again. Hrair ol on♦

must fight our fights...> — bows — <Is there anything else that you'd demand from us before the time comes to depart?>

-Meanwhile, the Nidos arrange my stuff that they have brought from Inka's place. She shows herself worried-

Inka — <Silent, you can't go there with no Pokémon!> — wags tail, worried — <I-I- I wish I could but I can't go... the colony needs me... and I need to pay...>

— I have to do this for myself, Inka. Besides, you saw what I saw. — shrug and pet her — I can not risk any more Pokémon to that fate. So my Pokémon will stay at the city, with the interns.

Inka — <But, but...>

-Dad comes in and hugs her, while the kit Maekrite comes to them and looks at me with interest, feeling that he knows me from somewhere far away. However, before he can move forwards and say hi to his parents, Dad wraps him and hides him-

-At the washing machine-

-Nathan opens the machine and looks down it-

<Nathan: "Yep, still there...">

<Pascal: "The little dude yesterday said something about space tunnels...">

<Zoe: "And that there were a good number of them...">

<Buster: "So... Maybe...">

<Leana: "Oh! One of them leads to HQ?">

<Zoe: "Or close enough to it.">

<Pascal: "We should get moving, man...">

-Pascal climbs into the machine, followed by Zoe, Nathan attempts to follow suit-

<Nathan: "Hey! Wait u- Aw, crud...">

-And gets stuck in the machine-

<Nathan: "Guys! I'm stuck!">

<Pascal: "Hang on man, we're coming to help!">

-Zoe and Pascal begin to attempt to pull Nathan through the washing machine-

-On the other side-

<Buster: "Oh yeah, that's going to be fun to explain if Tracer ever comes back...">

<Leana: "Just shut up and start pushing!">

Muddy: -Is beating on the rock with a log as some Beldum look on in interest- <We've been trying to get him out for days.>

Steel: <I could just move the rock.>

Nudi: <But then Cobalt would kick all our butts. He's one of the strongest mons on the team after all.>

Cobalt: -From behind the rock- <I'm not coming out until I've found who I'm looking for.>

Helios: -Flits inside- <Darn, none of us have woken up yet.>

Muddy: <Oh yeah, Nudi was telling us earlier about how everyone got gassed in some room.>

Gaia: <Cobalt, you will stop being this stubborn and let your friends through this instant!>

-The rock doesn't budge-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-About 15 minutes later, at the washing machine-

<Leana: "NNGH! Come on, you fat lizard! Suck that gut in!">

<Nathan: "It won't go in any further!">

<Pascal: "HNNGH! A little more, dude! I think we moved that time!">

<Buster: "RRGH! Thank goodness his hide isn't as jagged as some other Druddigon... Otherwise this would be really painful right now...">

-Wait, Silent didn't have any Pokémon? So did that mean he didn't have Maekrite?

Was that why he hadn't regained his memory yet? He hadn't ever met Maekrite? And would that even work? Lake had been the one who had triggered my own memories to return...

Oh well, it's was worth a try.-

WAIT!

-Points at Inka and "Dad"-

Sir. Madam. May I please request that you appoint your son as Silent's guardian?

Cinder: <What is he doing?!>

Lake: -Smirks.- <Trying to restore Silent's memory, by the looks of things.>

-Finally wakes up.

......Yeah, baby! Gamer's back!

Typhoon: <Glad to hear it. But we still need to break out the Moor prison.>

What Moor prison?

-Typhoon explains about the prison to me.

If we're gonna stage a mass breakout, we'll need more people helping us than just you, me, and Golurk's strike team.

But, I wonder if everyone still has their old phone numbers in this timeline? Only one way to find out, I guess.

-plugs in phone, waiting for it to charge.

"USE YOUR WORDS NOT THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE" ''memyselfand I 2"

-Helen arrives at Route 36 and heads for the phone booths-

Not gonna be all that active today, but I'll do my best.

Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!

-About 30 minutes later-

<Buster: "This is taking too long...">

-Leaves Leana and Guy and goes off rooting through house-

<Leana: "HEY! Get back here, Buster!">

<Pascal: "Yeah, man! We've almost got him through!">

<Zoe: "At this point, maybe we should consider some alter- ACK!">

-Nathan is finally forced through the washing machine, knocking Pascal and Zoe down-

<Pascal: "Oof... How do you weigh that much, man...?">

<Zoe: "Are you alright, Nathan?">

<Nathan: "Ow... I just hope that there's a different way back out... And that Tracer doesn't mind the scuffed paint and rubber seals...">

-Buster returns with a scuffed-up Pokeball-

<Buster: "Honestly, why didn't we think of thi- ... He actually made it through?">

<Leana: "You were really helpful, Buster...">

<Buster: "Hey! I wasn't expecting him to get through! He was in there for almost an hour!">

<Guy: "Enough of this, let's get going!">

-Sticking head out of washing machine-

<Pascal: "Hey man, what's goin-?">

-Notices Pokeball-

<Pascal: "Actually, dude... Now that you mention it... We should probably have those handy if one of us gets hurt...">

<Leana: "... I guess we could use some supplies...">

<Buster: "Right.">

-Hastily empties and grabs a cloth bag and throws the remaining team's Pokeballs into it, along with some supplies-

<Guy: "Come on, let's go already!">

-Guy, Buster, and Leana enter the washing machine, and the group begins to progress down the space tunnel-

-Phone is finally charged.

-I attempt to call Tracer.

"USE YOUR WORDS NOT THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE" ''memyselfand I 2"

- At the Entralink -

Goggles: (thinking) Hmm... Is that sand over there? Or just regular earth? (looks around) <... So, do we explore the place or something?>

My fanfic

Tracer?: Hello? I am still a human. Who is fine. I am participating in enrichment activities overseen by a responsible safety associate. How may I help you?

Scratch: <Makes sense... let's split up; yelp if any fiends turn up.>

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Goggles: (nods) <Okay!>

- Goggles begins taking a look around, occasionally expanding the focus of his eyes to take a closer look at random things as if he were using binoculars -

My fanfic

-all eyes turn alternatively to Luke and Inka-

Dad — <What???> — growls.

— ...Inka? Son?

-Inka blushes and goes back to her mate, grumbling and waging her tail nervously; a lil'cute [Nidoran♂] peeks up from behind the Nidoking's tail; meanwhile several kits gather around and comment on Maekrite-

Rize (among the crowd) — <Oh well, had to be our luck.>

Vinollo (chuckles) — <What did you expect, really?>

Maekrite (blinks) — <Me, rooliti♦

!> — turns to me, raises paw — <Oh hai! \\ô ô ô/>

— He's cute...

Inka — <Uh... Silent?> — smiles — <We kinda have a confession to make...>

Inka rubs her paws, and the Nidoking temporarily known as "Dad" comes to comfort her, both staring at us awkwardly.

— I can only imagine... — to Maekrite — Do I... know you? Why do I feel like I do?

Maekrite (leaps his father's tail and comes sniff around) — <You smell familiar. Why I never saw you?>

-Inka looks down and sighs-

Inka — <Well... there's a reason for that... I guess you two will understand soon...>

— But when... why? Had to be while you were a Nidorina...

-Inka and Dad stare at each other and then at me, then she laughs-

Inka — <Our evolution was part of the birthing ceremony...>

Dad (turns to Luke, a bit angered) — <Our son? But why?>

-The breeding cabal turn to deliberate for a while as a female arrives from somewhere with a special item-

Lake: <Oh...>

Cinder: <What now?!>

Lake: <He's...Younger than the Maekrite we know.>

-Like Lake, I'm a bit shocked to see that Maekrite is still a Nidoran rather than the rough Nidorino we knew him as. I can't help but notice that he and Silent seemed to find each other familiar, which was a plus.-

It's to do with the timeline I come from. Maekrite was assigned as Silent's guardian when he left the colony, which I'm guessing was something he never did in this universe.

Believe me, I've seen him in action, and I personally can't recommend a better Nido for the job.

-Some of the Nidorino mumble to each other; two in particular are a bit separated from the others and arguing with each other in between small pokes and scratches-

Vinollo — <Why would we send him as a guardian? Rooli is really a mischief ball with four legs... always peeking his nose around places...>

Rize — <...of which he returns alive.>

-Both of them look as the group gather around the elders, one of them carrying a special object as he goes to Maekrite, who has been picked up by Inka-

Vinollo (tilts head) — <Well yeah but he is always picking fights...>

Rize (scratches an ear) — <...which he wins? I mean his dad taught him Chip Away...>

Vinollo (sighs) — <Fine, fine! But he-he really has a problem with authority!>

Rizze (laughs) — <Yeah, sure, he gives a damn he's not evolved yet and picks squads on his own to go check the Rt. 36 border...>

-As they sit somewhere near Dad, Vinollo turns and leers at his brother, exasperated-

Vinollo — <Are you going to concede me one thing? Just one? Like, ever? Food, burrows, mates...>

Rize (licks paws) — <...No.>

(Beat)

---

-Mayonaka sits between Luke and the rest of the group-

Mayonaka — <Yes... it makes sense that u Frithrah would command u rah to step forward for this mission. You must understand...> — points to Maekrite — <To liberate our fellow Nidoylte♦

from their oppression by the Elil♦

foes, enemies or predators

... a skilled warrior of royal blood must be called.>

Rize (steps forwards) — <A Trickster warrior who enters the human domains right under their noses.>

Vinollo (steps forward) — <Versed and trained in the highest battle tactics.>

Dad (flickers ears, surprised) — <Just like...>

-One of the elders steps forward and produces a Poison Barb to give to Maekrite, who steps forwards and takes it-

Inka — <Hli Daiith, Maekrite, Inka rooli olmai♦

''...>

-The kit jumps to his mother's leap, and then she turns back and hands him over to me-

— ...Maekrite... a cute name, why do I...

Maekrite — <Mom's human! Why I already know to cuddle with him?>

-A headache strikes-

— AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

-thrashes for a moment-

Inka (holds me) — <You OK? Did it go away now?>

— ...

Maekrite — <...>

-Maekrite and I share a look, then he looks up and down. I do more or less the same, not much because he's so... so... small.-

— ...What, what happened to you?-

Maekrite — <I'm still a kit!> — to me — <Silent? Trainer?>

-I look around and distinguish Luke, feeling somewhat alleviated-

— It's you... it really is you!

-The six from the washing machine arrive at the main foyer cave... And bump into a familiar elder-

<Red Skull: "Oh! You're back so soon? And who are these three?">

<Buster: "The birds are Guy and Leana, and the Druddigon is Nathan.">

<Pascal: "Uh... We've got a bit of a problem, man...">

<Zoe: "Something terrible has just happened to our trainer. And we can't get to where he is...">

<Nathan: "So... We were kinda hoping that you would know a way to some islands in the Sea of Kyogre...">

<Red Skull: "... I can't say that we would off the top of our heads... Most of the space tunnels have shifted recently, and one tunnel was sealed off by a large company of fiends fleeing barbarians in Unova.">

<Buster: "... Wait, what?">

<Pascal: "... What was that last part about, man...?">

<Nathan: "... The Resistance found out how to get here?">

-To Nathan-

<Zoe: "What?">

<Guy: "Bunch of people and Pokemon in Unova that were trying to overthrow Scolipede and Lieperd. I was thinking about joining them for a time.">

<Nathan: "What he said. A lot of the guards back home didn't like them because they would have members come around a lot bugging us to join them after that siege the tower went through.">

<Zoe: "Oh.">

<Red Skull: "... I believe that's what they called themselves, yes... One of their leaders is accompanying some tribe members to do some surveying.. But I don't believe that's why you six are here...">

<Leana: "... Yeah, we've got enough to worry about at the moment...">

<Zoe: "... So you have no idea if any of these tunnels would be remotely helpful...">

<Red Skull: "To be blunt, no. We haven't even finished mapping out a third of the new places that they open up to... Though... If this means that much to you, I suppose that we could allow you to help... You may be fiends, but you certainly are not foes... Especially after yesterday.">

<Nathan: "... Thanks for your help.">

<Guy: "What are we waiting for, let's go!">

-The six set off down a random space tunnel-

<Red Skull: "... Don't forget to tell us where those tunnels open up!">

Cinder: <What?! But...That was just like when...>

Lake: -Grins.- <Exactly.>

-Needless to say, I'm pleased that Silent and Maekrite managed to regain their memories. That was going to make things a lot easier.-

Hey, Silent. Hey Maekrite. Don't worry about the two sets of memories thing. You'll get used to it in a little while.

-to Luke, while checking my clothes and hair-

—I hope, because this is feeling really, really weird.

Maekrite — <You tell me! I'm... oh Frith...> — starts checking himself as well, from the belly down — <...I'm unevolved!>

-I turn to Inka, wondering before addressing her, noticing that she more or less avoid my sight-

— You knew about this too. This means...

Inka — <Yes... Your presence here made me remember, some time ago.>

Maekrite (climbs to my head, looks at Lake) — <Is that Lake? Like, really, really Lake then? Who's the other?>

— I have a slight idea of what might he be... Come.

-Meanwhile, most of the 'rinas have moved away and started spreading the news; the kits stay around to look at Maekrite, while Dad stays behind talking to some of the elders, not in a very good mood-

-I sit besides Luke-

—Well, should have suspected that if you ever came to the colony they'd treat you like royalty. So... what is going on? Have you heard of the others?

-Shake's head.-

Apart from Daisy (Who just showed up out of nowhere), I haven't heard anything from anyone else, yet. The only people from our universe I know are around for sure are Shaun, Nadia and Vlad, but apart from that...

-Shrugs.-

I came to find you because you were the closest to where Lake found me: Azalea Town. Adn partly because I have no clue where everyone else might be.

Cinder: <Don't tell me, he's one of your alternate timeline friends too?>

-Lake nods.-

Lake: -To Maekrite.- <Hey there, Maekrite. Glad that you've got your memory back. Heh, you're a cute Nidoran. Anyway, this here is Cinder, Luke's starter. Well, in this universe.>

Cinder: <Hi, I guess...>

Lake: <He's a bit of a grumpy Pokémon.>

Cinder: <I am not!>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

- Somewhere in Unova, some of Scolemis' minions take note of a group of six Pokémon from the Sinnoh region wandering around, seemingly in search of something -

- A psychic type Pokémon checks their minds, and then tells the others that despite their strength, they are not a threat and they decide to just leave the six Pokémon alone -

-arriving at the phone booths, Helen dismounts and looks around for Orenda-
