ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Still hugging, Ur has migrated to the top of my head-

-At PEFE HQ, a few hours ago-

<Milo: "Well that was... Different...">

<Iggy: "I wonder what Cibel and Sway are up to with Jeff...">

<Gene: "Wait, what?">

<Lardna: "Yeah... I wonder if Jasmine, Ludwig, and I found Sophie yet...">

<Irina: "Nikolai? What are they talking about?">

<Sonny: "...">

<Misha: "... Nikolai, pochemu ty plachesh?">

<Sonny: "(*sniffle*) Ya skuchal po tebe tak mnogo... Vot i vse...">

<Alonya: "... You missed us? My zdes, odnako!">

<Gene: "... Okay, now I'm really lost...">

<Courtney: "Mmm hmm hmm... This could take a while to explain...">

_________________________

-Now... At the Minute Clan's dwelling-

-Painted in a series of markings-

<Lake: "... I can't say that I would have ever imagined that Iron would have done something like that for you all...">

-Is painted with the black markings that she bore from the night on the Spirit Watch-

<Nadia: "Adopting us all into her clan?">

<Lake: "Yeah. And that initiation was so straightforward!">

<Nadia: "To be fair, I'm fairly certain that they added that flying bit in for padding... Not that I'm complaining about it...">

<Lake: "Heh, that was really quite something, wasn't it?">

<Nadia: "They really are lovely Pokemon, aren't they?">

<Lake: "They are... If a little rough on the outside... Are you glad that we got to meet them?">

<Nadia: "... As much as I can't believe that I'm saying this... Yes, I am...">

<Lake: "It's so beautiful out here under the stars... How long do you suppose that Pokemon like us have been gazing up at them?">

<Nadia: "(*yawn*) Probably longer than we can imagine...">

-Starts to doze off cuddled against Lake-

-This fills the minds of Lake and Nadia, along with several dozen nearby Pokemon-

<Nadia: "... I see that Audrey's up to her old tricks again...">

<Lake: "(*yawn*) You've got to admit... The song's kinda sweet...">

<Nadia: "It is...">

-The two slip off into sleep, and into the world of dreams-

Good night.

???: -Smirks- I'd rather not.

-To Fool-

Keep an eye on my weaker half for me.

-Boots both Anom and Fool out of my mind-

Night.

-Is checking my team in case any of them have any "glitches". They don't-

-I quickly check myself, the only thing that seems to be that I still have my Green Scale pendant-

Well, as far as the "glitches" go, it's one of the cooler ones.

-Slouch and Riptide are somewhere by the door, Vesuvius is sleeping nearby, Numbskull is looking for his Arceus plushie, Egbert is at the table reading, and Wally and Marina are just wandering around with nothing to do-

Well. Glad that's over.

Riptide: Eyup. Good to be back, isn't it?

Yeah.
...

...

...Now what?

Riptide: -Shrugs-
The usual thing, I guess.

Sit around waiting for something interesting to happen?

Riptide: That's the one.

Righty then.
-Pulls a DS out of his bag and starts to play it-

-Has finished hugging, is now organising something with Susan, /Duck/, Jammer and Tepig-

Susan: <...And if Latias can't make it, Tepig can play the drums.>

Tepig: <Woot!>

Me: So have we got the date set for the first gig yet?

Susan: <Still have to organise that.>

/Duck/: I'll get started on the posters.

- DS and her team are asleep... Well, most of them -

Artemis: (waking up early in the morning, looks around, noticing that Mira is not in the room and that Velvet is the only other teammember awake) <... Hey? Where's Mira?>

Velvet: <I think she went outside.>

- Artemis nods and heads outside, eventually finding Mira staring up at the sky -

Artemis: <... Mira? Are you okay?>

Mira: <...> (putting one paw on her chest) <... Having memories of ones own death is really awkward...>

Artemis: <... I'm sorry.>

Mira: <... It is okay, Artemis. It was not your fault.>

Artemis: <But... It was my fault.>

Mira: (shakes head) <It was not.>

- The two remain silent for a few seconds -

Artemis: <... Mira? Do you... do you still love me?>

Mira:(looks at Artemis with a somewhat surprised look on her face, before nodding her head slightly) <Of course I still love you, Artemis.>

- Artemis smiles and hugs Mira, the Mienshao hugs back -

Artemis: <... So, now what?>

Mira: <...>

Artemis: <We love eachother, right?>

Mira: <... Yes?>

Artemis: <So... Should we... You know, make it official between us, become a couple?>

Mira: <I... I...> (sighs) <... I do not know...>

Artemis: (tilts head) <You don't know?>

Mira: <Well... You see... It is... Um...>

Artemis: (putting her paw on Mira's shoulder) <I understand. After everything that has happened, you need a little time to recover and stuff before you're ready to think about that.>

Mira: (staring at the ground) <... Sure. Let us go with that.>

- The two Pokémon stay there for a while, before walking back to the villa, not seeming sure where to go from here -

-Fool is brought back to reality-

Weaker me? What did he mean by weaker me?

-Elsewhere-

-A familiar overpowered Jukebox is sneaking up on Riptide, preparing to pull his Prank-

MGMT: < This is going to be comedy gold>

-MGMT slinks behind Riptide before...-

MGMT: BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT

Um Penti Rim is glitched because... Well...

Rim: <WHY DID I HAVE TO GET GLITCHED INTO A FEMALE?!>

That...

Ouch...

Wait, are you sure it's a glitch and not just a small change in time thereby meaning Rim was always female?

-Drops his DS out of shock-
WHAH!

Vesuvius: -Snaps awake-
AAH!

Riptide: AARGH!
-Turns around, forcefully holds MGMT's mouth shut-
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! DON'T YOU EVEN CARE HOW MUCH OF A PISSHEAD YOU ARE?!

Like Rim is going through-

Rim: <NO! I was a very manly Elgyem! I swear!>

Yes, but that was before Dialga got all up in the timestream.

Rim: <Wait so what your saying is... CYRUS YOU FU->

Rim he got what he deserved your too late to cuss at him.

- At the Hall of Origin -

- Arceus has been working hard to try to catch up on his paperwork, but with all the piles of paperwork in front of him, it seems it may take a while. Arceus stops what he is doing at the sound of five certain legendaries entering the room -

Arceus: (looks over to see Dialga, Palkia and the Lake Trio) <Ah, it is good to you all again, my children.>

Dialga: ... (steps forward, looking down at the floor apologetically) SKREEEEEEEE...

Arceus: <It's okay, son. I have already forgiven you, and miss Celebi as well. I know it was not your fault.> (hugs Dialga) <It is good to have you back.>

Dialga: (happily) SKREEEEEE!

Palkia: <DADDY!> (runs up and hugs Arceus as well)

Arceus: <Oh, Palkia! It is good to see you again too.> (looks over at the Lake Trio) <... And you girls too, of course.>

- The Lake Trio join the hugging -

Arceus: <I missed you all so much.> (looks over at the pile of paperwork, and sighs) <Well, as much as I'd like to spend some quality time with you five, I still have a lot of work to catch up on...>

Palkia: <WE CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT!>

Dialga: SKREEEEEEE!

Mesprit: <Yeah! And we'll help too!>

Arceus: <... Thanks. I appreciate that.>

- They all start working on the paperwork -

-/Duck/ pops up-

/Duck/: Finished the logo Pent, I just need the tour dates.

Oh, good, I'll patch you them in the morning... I'm sleepy now, traversing alternate timelines takes a lot out of a person.

-Heads off to find somewhere to sleep-

Night.

-Is asleep in that familiar chair, but wakes up-

I forgot how soft this chair is.

- The Giant Chasm -

Kyurem: (is on the phone with Giratina and Heatran) <So, that is what they did with Cyrus?>

Giratina: <Yep!>

Heatran: <... Think he's ever going to figure it out?>

Giratina: <I hope not. Watching him try to escape to no avail is pretty funny!>

Heatran: <... You have a weird sense of humor.>

Kyurem: <... Well, I'm glad to finally be home.> (looks around) <... I should probably clean up in here somewhat before Reshiram and Zekrom come over. Talk to you guys later?>

Heatran: <Sure. Bye Kyurem!>

Giratina: <Bye!>

-MGMT snickers through his closed mouth-

MGMT: < nope.>

-MGMT's neck (???) extends-

D'awww @ Arceus and family. But how does he hug them without arms?

Couldn't Arceus just grow arms if Arceus wanted?

-wakes up-

Ahh...first morning in the proper timeline. I should celebrate somehow....

But Arceus can't learn Transform. I think we need to bust out the MST3K Mantra.

Arceus learned to stand on his hind legs for the sole purpose of giving out hugs.
