ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Treeo: <Well, it was nice seeing you again, Lake. I'll let everymon else over here know that you're alive.>

Lake: <Same on my end, Treeo. I'm sure Luke will be happy to hear that you guys are okay.>

Treeo: <Thanks. Oh...You'll try and come to Unova, won't you? We really could use your help over here.>

Lake: <I'll see what Luke has to say. Try and hold on until then, alright?>

Treeo: <We'll do our best.>

Lake: <Cool. Take care, Treeo.>

Treeo: <Same to you, Lake.>

-Treeo heads back into the trees. Lake watches him go, then flies off.-

What do you mean "What were we doing yesterday?" We destroyed a mad AI and saved all those Pokemon and our coworkers.

-Meanwhile I am sitting in front of a recovered terminal watching new helper systems install while I go for a one-hour lunch. Maekrite is nearby, or that I hope, if the cuddlepile of 80-something Nidorans is any indication-

Muffled voice beneath the cuddleheap — <I'm still alive...! -...could use some... breathing space!>

Ugh... given the insane AI that's been bouncing nearly all our calls, we really haven't heard much about anything. But... if Blue was replaced by a Zoroark... it's a bad sign, at the least.

We really need to interrogate one of them better, find out what they did to the Leaders they were impersonating...

-turning back to Tagg-

Yes... but the Portal guns? We were bending space like mad back there.

Without permission.

-Has a dawning realization-

....You're right. Palkia should've destroyed this stuff like she did in the original timeline.

-Thinks back to the mural-

Oh boy, this is bad.

-Joins everyone else, followed by Lake, who looks like he's just woken up.-

Hey guys. Are you talking about something important?

Think back to your memories of this world, not of ours. Blue isn't a Gym Leader. He's this...universe? Timeline? This version of the world's Red. Red is the Gym Leader at Viridian City in his place. Blue is a major part of an underground network of Trainers fighting to overthrow the Unovan Regime, and find Dialga. I am also a part of this network, as are Steven Stone, and Cynthia.

We need PEFE's help, too. Can we trust you?

Sorry if I seem distracted. I just started playing Super Metroid. It's my first Metroid game ever.

What do you think of it?

I literally just started.

But now I'm being told that we're going out. Oh well, I guess this will have to wait until later.

- Meanwhile, in another dimension somewhere... -

Palkia: (thinking) ... WHY AM I GETTING THE FEELING THAT SOMEONE HAS BEEN BENDING SPACE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION? NOT THAT I CAN REALLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER.

I HATE THIS. MY BROTHER IS OUT THERE, BEING CONTROLLED BY CYRUS, AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

OF COURSE, THE WORST PART IS KNOWING THAT I DO KNOW HOW TO ESCAPE FROM THIS PLACE, BUT CAN'T BECAUSE I'M STUCK LIKE THIS.

... AT LEAST I CAN FEEL THAT MY SISTERS ARE GETTING CLOSER EVERY DAY, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FIND ME SOON.

... DIALGA, I WILL SAVE YOU. I PROMISE.

Marvelous Bridge

Is taking his time walking across the bridge.

Suspicious Looking Man:Son! I have a deal for YOU! And for you alone. Here's your chance. I will sell you-

Casval:Not interested.

Pushes Salesman off bridge, who then gets snagged onto a bolt along the bridge, and continues on his way.

-currently in a building in Castelia City, with Weavile in his Pokeball so she doesn't get caught- As long as I can safely be there, that is.

Hmm... this is interesting.

-surfing the web on a laptop-

So, this is an outdated system of FireZorua, and now the main sections are only the news and propaganda to support their army. I wonder what other sites some people have on here...

Random person: Ma'am, you have to pay money for every five minutes you use the connection.

Fine...

-returns to searching-

Apparently, some fansites opposed to their forces got nuked. Aw, they got rid of that one life-ruining trope site, too!

-pays again-

They didn't get rid of the Unova maps, though. Silly, silly people.

I think that's all I need to know for now. -heads off-

-Explains about the mural-

Yeah, so in this mural we saw on Mt. Layuda there was a depiction of all the legendaries running or flying away from Dialga, except for Celebi for some reason.

Oh, and Reshiram and Zekrom, Tagg. Not sure what the significance of that is, though.

Lake: <Reshiram and Zekrom? Oh, I might know about that...>

Unite: <You met with Lake in the Dream World?!>

Treeo: -Nods.- <Certainly did.>

Woolly: <Oh, He's okay! Thank goodness...I was getting worried about him.>

Flare: <Yeah. I'm glad to hear that the big lug's okay.>

Wulfric: <I think we all our.>

Harriet: <Yeah. Oh, did he say anything else, Treeo?>

Treeo: <Oh, tonnes...>

-Treeo tells everymon what Lake had done since being seperated from the group.-

Woolly: <Wow. He's been busy.>

Wulfric: <A gun that shoots holes? How does that even work?>

Flare: <Don't look at me! I'm not a scientist.>

Unite: <Well, I hope he can convince Luke to come over here and give us some.> -Shakes his head.- <But that can't be helped right now.>

Harriet: <What's our next move then, Unite?>

Unite: <Well...I think we should try and keep Scolermis' forces busy. at least, long enough so that I can wake Reshiram up and hopefully turn things around...>

-Helen, Dana, Ashes, and Hermes and wandering around Ecruteak, doing nothing in particular. Epona and Katan are helping Uncle Mike back at the house-

- A certain Chatot that had been travelling with Unite's group curiously hops over -

Chatot: (in Elesa's voice) Um... Is there anything I can do to help?

Unite: <Oh. Well, do you have any useful intel on Liepard and Scolipede's forces? Seeing as you and your Zoroark friend used to work for them. Any information you could provide at all could be helpful.>

Barb: <I can't believe this! The Bird is the Hero of Truth!>

Random Stunfisk: BLURP!

-Annoyed, Barb kicks the Stunfisk away.-

Barb: <Do you have any idea what a complete disaster it would be if he managed to revive the Yang Dragon?! There would be no stopping those Resistance scum, Pollen.>

Pollen: -Sips from a flower.- <Now now, Barb. The Resistance hasn't won just yet. We can still prevent The Bird from waking the Yang Dragon...>

Barb: <And how would we go about doing that?>

Pollen: -Smirks- <It's simple: We kill the bird.>

Barb: <Oh. Duh. Such an obvious answer...>

Chatot: (still in Elesa's voice) Uh... Well, apart from the whole "Zoroark and Chatot replacing Gym Leaders", I don't know too much... Well, my Zoroark partner did once mention something about a dating service for the Zoroark working for Scolipede and Liepard... Would that qualify as useful information?

Unite: <Um...Well, unless my friend Phantom shows up, then sorry, not really.> -Thinks.- <Are you any good at fighting? We could always use some extra mon-power around here.>

Pollen: <Still, I think it would be wise to inform one of our armies generals about this possible inpending threat. If we expose the problem now, we all may be able to crush it can do any harm.>

Barb: <Good thinking. If we head for the Castle now, we may just be able to get an Audience with Liepard or Scolipede. I'm sure they would just love to know about this...>

Pollen: <Heh. Yes indeed.>

-The two fly into the air, then set off for the Castle.-

Chatot: (still in Elesa's voice) Um... Well, I'm pretty strong, but I wouldn't say I'm a particularly good fighter. But, I guess I'll just do my best.

-is wandering around the Entralink, when I notice a small orange tile-

Hm?

-wanders closer- What's this?

...

-extends foot, very gently prodding the tile...-

-and vanishes-

-After several hours the terminals are ready-

— Oh well I guess there's nothing else to do here... - umounts the drives and looks around — Time to go Mae~ WHAT THE HECK?????

-Several ears flicker from the cuddlepile-

Maekrite — <Some help?>

-I push my hand into the pile, find the largest ear around and pull-

— All right, enough fun. We have to go look for the others.

-appears...somewhere-

What the— Where am I?

-from a nearby shrub- <Hey! You keep that clean!>

<It's not my fault!>

<Clean it up!>

<No!>

<Clean it!>

-sounds of slapping are heard-

<What was that for? It's biodegradable!> -sounds of acid burning through plant life-

<Hey! Stop making such a mess! You're going to ruin my fur!>

<I don't care!> -another spray of acid, followed by a yelp of pain. A Minccino runs past me, clutching its tail-

....Um...

-looks around, finds myself in the middle of a forest-

A forest...? Maybe I'm near Opeleucid or Nimbasa? I don't think there are Minccino near Pinwheel...

-Some time later...-

-Pollen and Barb land in front of the doors to the throne room, the Beedrill giving the Butterfree a slightly worried look.-

Barb: <I know we're highly ranked members of Scolipede's army...But I have the feeling that our Queen might not be too pleased to have us barge in on her like this.>

Pollen: <We're not barging in, Barb. We're here to politely inform our queen of the very real threat of the Resistance allying with a god. I feel a matter such as this is worthy of her attention.>

Barb: <Hmm. Well, I suppose so. Okay, here we go...>

-Barb knocks on the door.-

Artemis: <... Hmm? Is someone at the door?>

Mira: (scratching Artemis behind the ears) <Sounds like it. Who could it be?>

Artemis: <Well, we've been receiving a lot of important information lately, so if I had to guess, I'd say whoever this is has some important to tell us.>

Mira: <So, I should go let them in?>

Artemis: <Well, duh. Were you expecting me to do it?>

Mira: <... Of course not, my queen.>

Artemis: <You're the best, Mienshao.>

- Mira goes over and opens the door -
