ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-With the others-

<Vesta: "... His Typhlosion doesn't seem to be taking this well...">

<Cinder: "Next thing you know, you'll be telling me- Wait...">

-Notices Shaun-

<Cinder: "... What are you doing here?! You're supposed to be with Jasmine!">

<Shaun: "Huh? What are you? Oh... Right... Apparently in this timeline, I am the Olivine Lighthouse's Ampharos...">

<Vlad: "... WHA- OH! Hello, Maekrite!">

<Nadia: "LAKE!">

<Lake: "NADIA!">

-Runs over to Lake and nuzzles him-

<Nadia: "I was so worried about you!">

-To Shaun-

"... You are?"

<Guy: "As cute as this little history lesson is, shouldn't we worry about... You know... DESTROYING THIS PSYCHOTIC COMPUTER ALREADY?!">

Maekrite — <...! Vlad!> — looks at him surprised, then feels somewhat saddened that Dintel isn't there.

Somewhere in Hoenn

-A random Sandshrew rests near the Mirage Tower, eating a random carcass as he talks to a draw of a Trapinch in the sand about how sweet it would be if he had a friend he could go hug aaaaallll the time...-

-hearing Guy's shout-

Oh! Right... PEFeDOS. She's still a thing that is happening...

Basket: <Tangent, you have memories of being here a while... where do we go?>

Right! As I was saying to Tagg... -points- That tower over there.

-Drake knocks again, then checks if there's any doorbell around that has to be rung-

- Is In a hotel in Mistralon City for the night-

-I peek into a nearby darkened test chamber, seeing an Excursion Funnel within it-

Okay... if somebody can hotwire this chamber, I think we can ride that funnel straight to her!

-Crosses arms-

—Sounds like a nice idea... good to have you back, Tangent.

-Maekrite examines Amphy!Shaun closely, a bit surprised of the relationship in this timeline, before continue chatting with Vlad-

I'd do it, but well, my technical skills are somewhat limited.

"Hmm... I wonder... If we ran enough of a current through it-"

-Is interrupted by sound of my and Tagg's Pokemon bursting in through a door-

<Vlad: "There they are!">

<Kit: "We were so worried about you!">

"OH! You guys are okay?"

<Nadia: "A little tired, but yeah. We're fine...">

<Vesta: "What happened to all of you?!">

<Aloysius: "Long story short, we smashed our way out of some pens and went around looking for you!">

<Mike: "We got Jodie and your guys' stuff back too!">

-Jodie begins to play this loud enough to be audible-

-sees the two sheep enabling the funnel; pops a portal pair to direct it to an opening in the central tower-

OK! Everyone! Things have been... pretty bad, for PEFE in this timeline. But now we are in a position to fight! To strike at the core of what should have been destroyed four years ago! And from there... umm... I've heard bad things about the world out there lately. Probably need to address that, too.

But first things first! PEFeDOS is going down!

-Maekrite stands besides me-

Maekrite — <Yeah, we're gonna strike down the ones who did this.> — smirks — <For good this time.>

— I agree. Well with this team assembled it shouldn't be much trouble.

-Notices his and Tracer's Pokemon bust in through a door-

Guys!

Musashi: <Tagg! Vanilluxe! Nudi!>

Audilith: -Looks at Vanilluxe and gives the closest thing a Gigalith can to a smile- <Glad to see you back.>

Vanilluxe: -Blushes- <You too Audilith.>

Torchic: -Looks at the tower- <So that's where the computer is.>

Garchomp: <Now to kill that thing.>

You're right Tangent, time to kill that thing.

Altair: -Glances at Drake- <Maybe they're not home?>

Drake: <That is possible. But it is better to know.> -Knocks again- <If this doesn't work I'm considering a much more... Direct approach to getting in.>

"Shaun! Vesta! Try to run some juice into that control box!"

<Shaun: "Got it!">

<Vesta: "That computer's as good as gone!">

-The two run a weak electrical current into the control box, causing a tractor beam to begin to pull everyone into the core housing the mainframe-

-Gets pulled into the tractor beam with his Pokemon-

I bet she has something for us at the end of this thing.

-entering the computer room; the PEFeDOS core hangs from the ceiling on a large armature-

Well, you found me. Was it worth it? Because despite your violent behavior, the only thing you've managed to break so far, is my heart. And the Nidotoxin system. And numerous walls and testing equipment, and botany labs. Maybe you can settle for that, and call it a day.

I guess we both know that isn't going to happen. You chose this path, now I have a surprise for you. Deploying surprise in 3... 2... 1...

-a dragon-slaying android emerges from a hatch, armed with energy ball, laser, and rocket launchers on its arms-

Yikes! Split up!

Maekrite — <What the heck is that thing?>

— This doesn't paint good... Maekrite! Let's move to that random corner!

Fuck! Move it or lose it guys!

-Moves out the way as the iPhokex starts playing this-

PEFeDOS, your time has come!

In Pinwheel Forest

-Stella and Cuddlekins have followed the Chandelure until the reach the remains of the resistance town-

^Cuddlekins^: -Nudging a dead body- ^Oh my Gosh...^

.+Stella+: +This is what happened when Die was here...+

{Satine}: {...It is sad... Isn't it...? They didn't even get to bury their dead...}

-Satine heads over to the bushes where she reveals a large hole-

{Satine}: {...Come... This will lead you to safety...}

-Satine helps Cuddlekins and Stella lower Sol's unconscious body into the tunnel before going down themselves-

.+Stella+: +So this is how the survivors escaped...+

^Cuddlekins^: -Placing Sol on her back- ^It must be^

-Satine floats down-

{Satine}: {...This is one of many tunnels... It leads to a mega tunnel... and there... we will part ways... but before that time... follow me}

-The Houndoom and Skarmory follw Satine down the tunnel, Stella is starting to feel claustrophobic-

"Well, crud..."

<Nadia: "... That's a what-slaying android?!">

<Kyle: "Eep.">

<Nathan: "(*gulp*)">

<Shaun: "Everyone! Split up and attack when you can!">

<Jodie: "Oh, it loves you so much, Mike...">

<Mike: "Heh. No problem... I like opponents like that...">

-Mike moves around at a such a rate as to leave frames behind, circling around the android-

<Pascal: "Hey! That's uncool, dude! Take this!">

-Pascal Hydro Pumps the android-

<Guy: "COME AND GET IT, YOU WORTHLESS LUMP OF METAL!">

-Attempts Brave Bird on the android-

<Buster: "... Leana?">

<Leana: "Yeah, yeah, I know...">

-Flies ahead of Guy-

—Damn it...! — to Maekrite — Move around to use your Ice Beam to attack it, and shield the others from damage!

Maekrite — <R-righty!> — runs around trying to stay besides the others; meanwhile he aims an Ice Beam.

Guys, let's show this bucket of bolts how it's done!

-Everyone starts throwing attacks at the android, even Victini and Torchic, the latter in the form of a Scald-

Hmm... maybe if we target the source of the problem?

-I fire two portals on the wall, one at ground level and one at PEFeDOS level-

Hey, over here!

-the robot fires a rocket at me; I narrowly dodge, and the rocket continues through the portal and strike the computer-

-a core is knocked off the armature-

Core: I wanna be the best! Like no one ever was! Gotta catch 'em all, yeah. Catch 'em all. 150 1Pokémon. Or more to see. 2BA Pokémon master, is my destiny! 251 Pokémon. 386 Pokémon. 496 Pokémon. 649... too many! Too many Pokémon! You're my best friend... in a world we must defend! Gotta catch 'em all! Gotta catch 'em all! Pokémon!

Umm... I think this thing is important?

493, not 496.

-I look from behind a corner as a rocket explodes nearby-

— Right! The hardware, the weak point of all software! We have to redirect this thing's ammo here!

-Maekrite runs avoiding a laser, then attempts a Sludge Bomb on the android, but it doesn't have an effect beyond the mere impact-

Maekrite <Awww, bugger!>
