ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Dewott: <Um...> -blushes- <It...it was nice talking to you, but I...I should return to my trainer. Thank you for the conversation. Good night.> -stands-

Sunny: <Yeah, it was. Could we talk again sometime?>

Sunny, what are you doing over there? Shadow's still waiting on you!

Sunny: <Um, that's probably my cue to leave as well.>

Dewott: <Ah...yes... Yes. I would like that, also.>

-Fool follows Anom up the stairs-

-At the next platform, there happens to be an ornate door-

-Fool looks at the door-

It sure is pretty... Let's open it!

-Fool opens the door and enters it-

-stands in Tagg's room, not really sure what to do-

Umm. . .whatever.

-leaves to find a place to sleep-

Night guys.

-I follow behind-

Sunny: <All right, I'll see you again!> -scampers over to Mezzo-

What took you so long, Sunny? Talking to your new friend over there?

Sunny: <Yeah, he's really nice.>

Anyway, take a look at this.

-points at the computer screen-

Sunny: <Shadow left me a message?>

-Sunny types up a response-

-Dewott comes over to where I've gathered my Pokemon around me-

Hi, there! Looks like you and Sunny are making fast friends.

Dewott: <He is a very nice Umbreon.>

Yeah, he is.

So...I was thinking...you all need names. Some of you have them already, but a lot of you don't, and I was thinking that it is time to change that.

-The location the door opens up to...isn't nearly as pretty a sight. Namely, it's the Celadon Pokemon Center and surrounding area, crucified corpses and all-

UGH!

-Lands back in the Resort Area with Daisy, lets out my team for a group hug-

-Fool is on the verge of having another breakdown-

....-This......

-The memories of the murders on her hands rush back to her-

The walls... the walls... they are covered in blood.

-a response comes-

Sunny: <Next time I see my family, it is gonna be awkward...>

They're all still with my brother, right?

Sunny: <Yeah.>

I wonder what he's doing right now.

Dewott: <We are getting names?>

Lampent: <Yay.>

Dragonair: <Um...Wolf? What if some of us don't want nicknames?>

That's okay, too.

Dragonair: <Phew.>

-Right in front is me and one very large pyre, with a dark figure pacing around-

???: -Pacing around me- All these peons of Lanius that you had your mons kill, burning amongst the bodies of the innocent. Wasn't killing those who brought this horror to your home glorious?

No, no it wasn't. There's nothing glorious about ending lives.

???: Don't lie, deep down I know you actually enjoyed ending their worthless lives.

-Holds onto Fool-

-Fool watches the scene-

Reminds me of the fights "Sol" and I got into...

-Fool notices that Anom has started holding onto her, and starts to reassure him-

Nothing bad can happen to us in this place. The imagry may be gruesome, but we cannot be hurt. I know this from experiance.

???: -Notices Anom and Fool- Oh look, visitors. Come and welcome your friend and your girlfriend to this place.

What are you guys doing here?

???: Like they could ever understand what you've been through. To them and the others life is just one big game. You and I, we know what's out there, this world's true horror. They never had to burn bodies or fight against that otter. They'll just pretend that nothing ever happened, weaklings as they are.

That's not true.

-Fool seems to sneer at ???'s statement-

So you think your so special in that you witnessed murder on your own hands. I murdered too in that timeline... And while you were dealing with Lanius...

-Fool brings out a scimitar-

I had Napoleon to deal with, the one who killed and manipulated many in the short span of 2 years...

???: -To Fool as if she were a child- Killed. Not murdered dear, like your other self did in that "Midori Room" as you so call it, there's a difference. Compared to Missingno and 'M that pig was small potatoes and even that otter probably would've torn him to shreds in a fight. I'd like to see you or any of these new guys stand up to their Mind Rape.

Sure they're new, but I'm sure they could've handled the glitches all the same.

???: Yeah, when Piloswine fly.

-To Fool-

Maybe you can, but I doubt that most of the others have close to any understanding of what it means to be a killer, like we've become. I can sense their utter weakness.

-Tauntingly-

Do you really think you can solve this with "hugs" and well wishes, as those fools on the outside seem to think about every little tragedy? That crap's for children and hatchlings. You might as well leave my weaker half to wallow in the pain caused by his actions then, for all the good that'll do.

...You wanna see us be killers? Then show yourself.

-Shortly before the creation of the new universe-

"I guess in a sense, this is goodbye, everyone..."

<Vlad: "Yeah... We're going to miss being able to see you easily...">

<Guy: "The Dream World isn't easy?">

<Leana: "We can't go there when we're awake!">

<Gligar!Vlad: "Could we?">

<Vlad: "Sure...">

-The two glomp each other, Vlad knocking Gligar!Vlad back-

<Gligar!Vlad: "Oof! Hee hee! I can't wait to become like you, big me!">

<Buster: "Eh, what the hey? Count me in, dipwads...">

-Joins the glomp-

<Pascal: "Really, man? You didn't seem to change much... Even after you got your memories back...">

<Kat: "Well... In a sense... He's right... The Tracer from our time won't be able to interact much with you guys after this all gets sorted out...">

<Nathan: "Yeah, and some of us simply won't be here in just a few moments...">

<Teala: "Wait... What happens the ones among us that didn't come through the space tunnels?">

"That's for you to decide afterwards... Though if you want to stay, I won't shoo you away... And I think that my interns could always use a little help..."

<Milo: "... You're not just throwing us into the lab, are you?">

"Hardly. You don't think that I'd be leaving you in someone else's care to get you out of my hair do you? I've been looking for an excuse to drag those three out more often."

<Milo: "Heh, well when you put it that way...">

-Still in the glomp-

<Gligar!Vlad: "Awesome! It'll be an adventure!">

-To Nadia-

<Kyle: "... I just wanted to thank you for everything before we left. If it weren't for running into you and that little doll of yours, I'd probably still be sulking off in corners everytime that Tracer came near me...">

<Toothless: "Don't worry about it. Just remember, life's a journey, don't waste too much of it stuck over something...">

<Nadia: "You're welcome, Kyle... Take care of yourself...">

<Kyle: "You too, and keep in touch with Lake for me...">

<Vesta: "It was nice to get to know you, Shaun...">

<Mike: "Yeah! For a quiet guy, you sure pack a whallop!">

<Shaun: "... Thanks?">

<Kammy: "Take care of yourselves and Tracer on the other side. We'll be waiting for a chance to get to meet you again.">

<Shaun: "We will... And we'll be looking forward to hearing from you too...">

<Sonny: "Do svidaniya, Tracer.">

<Courtney: "Mmm hmm hmm... Just try and keep yourselves in one piece...">

<Nadia: "...">

<Courtney: "Something wrong, lizard? I'm allowed to be pleasant, you know!">

<Mundane!Honchkrow: "Hopefully we'll get to meet each other again on the other side... Even if there's not as much to look forward to back there...">

<Leana: "There's more than you think, dad...">

-Nuzzles-

<Mundane!Honchkrow: "I'll take your word for it...">

-To Iron Marrow-

<Hydra Marrow: "I presume that you've learned much, have you not?">

<Iron Marrow: "You wouldn't know the beginning of it...">

<Hydra Marrow: "Well, I leave it to you to impart what you have learned to your tribe... Serve them well...">

<Iron Marrow: "I will... I just wish that we could have left your tribe with more to look forward to...">

<Hydra Marrow: "You have given us hope for a better future... That will suffice for now...">

<Zoe: "Goodbye! Don't get into too much trouble!">

<Pascal: "Yeah, man! We'll be keeping you in mind!">

-A brilliant flash of light occurs, and the forms of Shaun, Nadia, Vlad, and Iron Marrow vanish-

<Kammy: "They were really quite something, aren't they?">

"Yeah... They were..."

__________________________

-About 5 seconds after the flash-

-Iron Marrow, Shaun, Vlad, and Nadia stumble out of a time tunnel a short time after Luke and his Pokemon-

<Vlad: "We're finally back...">

<Iron Marrow: "I know... It's so relieving...">

<Red Skull: "Ah! There you are, Iron! We were worried that something had happened in there! And what was with the other human and his companions' comments about things going back to normal?">

<Nadia: "It's a very long story...">

-Audrey and Teala run up with me-

"Guys! Are you alright?!"

<Shaun: "Yeah, we are, Tracer... It feels so good to be back...">

<Audrey: "Yeah... I can't help but wonder what the others are up to right now though...">

<Teala: "I'm sure that we'll meet them again, right?">

<Red Skull: "... What is going on again? And where did you get that strange bone, Iron?">

<Iron Marrow: "It's quite the tale... Gather the other elders and the ru- Er... Chain of Spades and her sibling... This could take a while...">

-Looking at Nadia-

<Iron Marrow: "And I believe that I still owe you a favor from that bridge...">

<Toothless: "OH! Wait, she's really going to-">

Why do I feel like that speech sounded like it came from Kingdom Hearts?

-has found a spare bed and is now sleeping with Kirby, Sally, and Benny in it-

-meanwhile, Meddler's other two Pokemon are talking on the other side of the room-

Violet: Knux, can I ask you something?

Knuckles: Shoot.

Violet: Why do you like me? I mean, I'm rarely nice to anyone, I'm ugly, I'm. . .why are you laughing?

Knuckles:-is clutching his stomach from laughing so hard- Geez Vi, you sure do know how to make a guy laugh.

Violet: I was being serious!

Knuckles: I know. But can we talk about this later?

Violet: . . .Fine.

Knuckles: Thanks.

I just noticed I love using elsipes.
