ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

A mass of ice lands in the middle of Anville Town square. Inside, lays an unconscious man who is missing an arm and a leg and holding a weapon as large as the crystalline prison.

-Crowbar looks over to Rea-

<Crowbar>: <Be thankful that I had the heart to yank you onto Biscuits here, otherwise you would be a buring pile of flesh>

-Sits on Wolf's bunk-

You're worried about DS, huh? I am too...

-Rea sniffs-

-on the ground, Remus and Romulus managed to escape the Kill Sat, and are now running with the rest of the army-

I'm going to go looking for her tomorrow.

...I don't know whether I should come with you or not. I'd like to, but I fear being a burden.

If you want to stay here, you may. Steven may be more difficult to live with without me around, but Cynthia might be able to keep him off your back.

-While drawing near to the Pokecenter, we begin to notice an increasingly dense collection of crucified human and Pokemon corpses-

-While still hidden-

"..."

/b/-tard: "Oh, fu-"

<Burny: "Oh- Oh Arceu- HURK!">

-And promply throws up-

<Legion: "As much as I can't believe I'm saying this, I don't blame ya, lizard.">

<Kammy: "Good Arceus.">

<Sonny: "Te lohi! ">

<Teala: "Th-There's young among them...">

<Gligar!Vlad: "Oh... (*shudder*)">

<Vlad: "How- How could they do this...? How could they DO this?! HOW COULD THEY DO THIS?! ">

Going to bed now. Good night, everyone.

Not sure which I should do... I guess I'll see what Crewe and Star are doing.

Well...

-Is unsure how to continue-

Sleep on it. You don't have to decide now.

-lies down- Good night, Anom.

Good night.

-Returns to my own bed and thinks-

A little while later

-Crowbar notices Napoleon and Sawbuck descending-

<Crowbar>: <Hang on missy, we're going down>

-Crowbar descends on Biscuits down to a clear patch of land around 3 Kilometers from Iccirus. He then pulls Rea off of biscuits-

<Crowbar>: <So we've taken Milstralton sir?>

<Napoleon>: -Hops off Itchy- <Yes Crowbar, and from our location. We will be able to take Iccirus rather soon.>

<Sawbuck>: -Hops off Eggs- <And those lost sir?>

<Napoleon>: <They'll be replaced. We have a majority of our forces in tact, we can recruit more>

<Crowbar>: <Let's just wait unil our army make it here and set up camp. You don't mind sleeping on the ground for a couple of nights sir?>

<Napoleon>: <Enough with that attitude Crowbar. It's starting to get on my nerves>

<Crowbar>: <...Sorry sir>

<Napoleon>: <Forgiven Crowbar>

-Napoleon looks over to the open path-

<Itchy>: <What now Napoleon sir?>

<Napoleon>: <What now?>

-Napoleon gwaffs-

<Napoleon>: <We wait...For our armies to arrive here and for Iccirus to drop it's gaurd>

-Looks at the corpses-

My Arceus, it's even worse in person.

Torchic: -Is inside my backpack with Victini and Thresher for safety- <What's going on?>

Gaia: -Looks very disturbed- <Nothing to worry about sweetie, is Thresher behaving?>

Torchic: <Yes Gaia.>

Luxray: -Sniffs the air- <What a senseless waste of lives, both human and Pokemon.>

Musashi: <I want to kill that Lanius right now.>

Luxray: <Get in line.>

Cobalt: <We're researcher Pokemon, we've seen nature's true horror, not to mention Glitch Pokemon Mind Rape, but this? This Lanius seems less like Missingno in brutality and more like 'M who my Unovan comrades helped dispatch.>

TECHNICOLOR POST!!!

Mistralton

9 cloaked figures arise from the rubble.

Did we really have to fake our deaths? It makes me sore that I'm had to lose on purpose.

It was necessary. We all knew the Commander would fall even with "Ein Soph Aur". Luckily we had these cloaks.

Well, it was a good thing we made it convincing enough to fool Napoleon. Too bad these things are one-time use only. So...We can't expect to survive another laser can we?

Enough, the commander was kind enough to avoid our half of the battlefield with that monstrosity.

Did any of you catch where he flew off to? There's no way he died is there?

Towards Anville Town. Three of us will retrieve the commander. The remaining six will search for other survivors in Mistralton. I must say, I didn't expect their entire army to flee Mistralton. They really overestimated the damage.

The 9 split and went their respective ways.

-Vlad's shrieking attracts the attention of a nearby patrol-

<Lanius!Heracross: "Who's there?! Show yourselves, cowards!">

<Lanius!Breloom: "Yeah, come and join these degenerates!">

-While still hidden via illusion-

<Sabine: "Crap.">

<Nadia: "Well it's a little late for him to calm down...">

<Vlad: "YOU MONSTERS! WHY?! ">

<Lanius!Floatzel: "They dared to oppose us, and we reacted accordingly.">

-While using Swords Dance-

<Vlad: "YOU WORTHLESS WASTES OF FLESH! YOU WILL PAY!! WITH YOUR LIVES!!! ">

-Lunges at the patrol-

<Vlad: SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!>

-And begins to viciously savage its members-

<Gligar!Vlad: "B-BIG ME! WH-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!">

-Looks at Vlad go crazy-

Holy shit.

Hydreigon: -Looks on- <Did I look like that when I evolved and tried to kill that Pincher?>

-Gets my bearings-

Bombs away!

-Sends out a murder of Murkrow to use Dark Pulse on the assorted mons-

Musashi: -Pulls out both of his keratin blades- <You monsters! You'll pay for your crimes against people and Pokemon!>

-Does the Samurott glare to make several Pokemon stand still before he starts slashing and stabbing everywhere-

Gaia: -Slams a Flygon into a wall with a sickening crunch-

Garchomp: -Goes on an Outrage against an enemy Hydreigon-

Vanilluxe: -Freezes a whole bunch of mons solid with Sheer Cold-

Luxray: -Thunder Waves a Swanna before dropping a point-blank Thunder-

Nudi: <This is for that slave ship you freaks!> -Starts savaging a Machoke with his radula-

Helios: -Lights a Glalie on fire-

-The other mons also start attacking-

Damn, I normally don't see this unless a research trip gets really messed up.

-Are briefly stunned by Vlad going berserk-

<Buster: "Good Arceus...">

/b/-tard: "HOLY-"

<Erika: "What are you waiting for?! Attack!">

"... Vlad... KROWAGA!"

/b/-tard: "TASTE THE RAINBOW-"

-A pair of bursts of 60 or so Dark Pulses rips down the opposing side of the battlefield, mowing down a number of opponents-

-All of the mons present that are capable of using stat-enhancing moves do so, while the others use their strongest attacks-

-While busy savaging another group of Pokemon-

<Vlad: "SKREEEEEEE! YOU ABOMINATIONS! DEATH IS TOO GOOD FOR YOU!! ">

Above Hoenn

-Mt. Chimney... no, the Chimney Caldera... oozes a new lava flow to the northwest, the magma pressure boosted by the weight of a couple years of extra seawater; precious few hints of Lavaridge Town exist, while a defenseless Mauville has been forced to capitulate-

-a shadowy Scizor approaches the General-

00: <Was the Hyper Beam really necessary? The trigger tunnel had been all but finished already...>

Lelouch: <It's all in the effect. If the people of Hoenn heard that my army had blown the volcano, they would fear us, true. But now the rumors float that Lelouch vi Britannia blew the mountain personally; such myth is an even more potent weapon.>

00: <To some. Others will take it as a cue to oppose you all the more strongly.>

Lelouch: <Which you surely realize is your job to leverage. Within about a month, the resistance pockets worth paying attention to will be clear; then you, the "bane of Lelouch's army", are left in a perfect position to infiltrate the resistance movements, rising to the top with your insight on my strategies and retakings of half the region...>

00: <So you plan to throw victory in this region away?>

Lelouch: <An opposed victory is a tenuous one. Consider instead, a Hoenn divided between the Scolperd empire, governed by me... and a Resistance strong enough to demand a cease-fire, led by my loyal hand?>

00: <It sounds like quite the feat. If it's even achievable...>

Lelouch: <It is, and is already happening. Hoenn will be paralyzed for some time, and even the resistances will be begging for leadership. Nothing Can Stop Me Now!>

PEFE HQ

-Tangent checks his voice mail-

Oh! Basket, check the hydroponics lab. See how many kosher explosive lemons we've gotten so far. We could use a crate by Tagg's portal. You'll find me there, too, calibrating laser, funnel, and bridge emitters for him.

Err... are the kids distracted?

Basket: <Yeah. Barley's telling them an old flock folktale.>

Oh, nice... I confess, I really don't want them hearing too much about what's going on out there...

Basket: <Yeah. They are fortunate to be here...>

-the two go to their separate tasks-

-some brave interns head out into what has been set up of a Saffron underground portal network, with several boxes of eager turrets to distribute-

Turret {a9cc52ba-121e-4605-b572-6fd19356067a}: Are we there yet?

Turret {5015686d-01e2-401b-9822-61640a70fcc3}: We want to play too...

-the interns try not to be too creeped out by the dialogue emitted by their cargo-

Draca: -Spams Dragon Dance before one shotting a Haxorus with Dragon Claw-

Muddy: -Ice Punches a Tangrowth- <Take that!>

Throh: -Uses Storm Throw on an Absol- <And that's all she wrote.>

Aliroz: -Uses Foul Play on a Beartic- <Where'd Unfezant go?>

Sirius: -Uses Thunder Fang on a Swellow- <Tagg sent him on some sort of mission.>

Keep moving guys!

-Moves to close the distance between themselves and the center-

Lanius!Bisharp: <Who are these guys?>

-Gets Flamethrowered by Hydreigon-

-The /b/-tard and I repeat our respective signals to the Murkrow-

-The Pokemon with me continue attacking. The ones who did not in order to set up do so now-

-The three Marowak use Bonemerang-

<Iron Marrow: "Hope you've made peace with the dead, you barbarians! You'll need it!">

<Kat: "LET'S SEE HOW TOUGH YOU REALLY ARE WHEN YOU'RE OUT A SKULL!">

<Kit: "This will teach you to be glib with the dead!">

-Sabine is using a boosted Psychic to hurl an entire group of attackers down the dead end of an alleyway-

<Sabine: "How'd you like that you cretins?!">

-Buster is using a boosted Earthquake-

<Buster: "I don't know what you freaks did to the dipwad, but you'll pay for it!">

-Nadia is Dragon Clawing a hapless goon across the street-

<Nadia: "Did it feel good?!">

-A short distance away, Vlad has just badly wounded a Seismitoad and is about to finish him off-

<Vlad: "IT'S TIME TO DIE! ">

<Lanius!Seismitoad: "Pl-Please! D-Don't! I-I'm only h-here because I was dr-drafted!">

-Stopping an X-Scissor just before the Seismitoad's throat, hit by a horrified realization-

-Crying in fear-

<Lanius!Seismitoad: "(*sniffle*) Oh Arceus, oh Arceus, oh Arceus-">

-Vlad backs off from the Seismitoad and turns away, shuddering uncontrollably-

<Vlad: "I-I- (*shudder*)">

-Repeats my krow command-

Audilth: -Noms a Power Herb so that she can one shot a Swampert with Solarbeam- <They were just kids, how could you!>

Forecaster: -Uses Fire Blast on a Weavile- <That was for all the mons and people you strung up.>

Cobalt: -Mashes a whole bunch of Pokemon to the ground using Gravity- <You're even worse than those poachers.>

-The Pokemon guarding the Pokemon Center start falling back due to our pure ferocity-

edited 21st Aug '11 11:28:09 PM by rmctagg09

-The /b/-tard and I repeat our respective signals to the Murkrow-

-And the Pokemon with us fire off a final salvo of attacks... With one exception-

-Still shuddering-

<Vlad: "I-I t-tore them a-apart... I-I d-didn't st-stop to think th-that they m-might h-have- (*shudder*)">

-The Pokecenter finally goes quiet, all of the defenders either dead, incapacitated, or having fled-

edited 21st Aug '11 11:38:08 PM by TracerBullet

-Walks inside the Pokemon Center shortly after his own Pokemon fire off their last salvos-

Wow, they just went to town on this place.

-Looks at the PC-

They're going to have to replace everything.

Muddy: <We have to deal with the bodies.>

Right.

-Sighs-

It wouldn't be the first time I've had to do this.

-A short time later, after Pokeballing the goons that didn't die in the street that were seriously injured-

-While having the few goons that weren't utterly mangled helping to cremate the remains of the crucified and the fallen-

-Vlad approaches, still shuddering and covered in gore-

-Hiding behind me-

<Gligar!Vlad: "G-Get away from me!">

-Near tears-

<Vlad: "Wh-Why? Why did I do it?">

"Ugh... How many trainer cards did you find, Dr. Tagg?"

edited 21st Aug '11 11:53:15 PM by TracerBullet

-Has the Trainer Cards in a sack-

Quite a bit Tracer. At least their families will have some closure once we hand these over to the league.

-Sighs-

I guess what the history books have said on war is true, it really is hell.

-Looks over at a pile that hasn't been burnt yet-

Helios? Do it.

Helios: -Nods before setting the bodies alight-

May Arceus have mercy on your souls, requiescat en pace.
