ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Has headed to the concert stage and is preparing for the concert-

-Returning from a shopping outing with Iggy, Nadia, Gene, and Teala-

<Nadia: "Well that could have gone better...">

"... Was it really that bad, Nadia?"

-Wearing a visor-

<Gene: "Meh. It wasn't anything too out of the ordinary...">

<Nadia: "That doesn't make hearing 'Eep! Please don't eat me!' five times in a single outing any less annoying...">

<Iggy: "Cut them a little slack, Nadia... Those Pokemon were much smaller than you... Remember when you were little?">

<Nadia: "... I wish that I didn't...">

-Wearing a small necklace made out of assorted sea clutter-

<Teala: "Aww... But you grew out of it, didn't you? And didn't Lake say that he thought that you were cute when you were young?">

<Nadia: "Yeah... I guess...">

-With a scarf tied around his tail, with a larger matching piece on Nadia's. Resting on a sunhat on Nadia's head and helping to keep it from falling off-

<Toothless: "Well, hey. It wasn't a total wash. We got some pretty cool stuff out of it.">

<Nadia: "I guess... I probably shouldn't have asked Tracer for this hat though... It keeps on falling off when you're not up there...">

<Toothless: "It's a good vantage point!">

-Wearing a rather distinctive pair of sunglasses-

<Iggy: "Heh. You know, I can't help but wonder what it would have been like if I got a pair of sunglasses like these when I was smaller...">

"You guys see any of the others by any chance?"

-Kessie is chattering happily to Sunny, not noticing whether he's paying attention or not-

-Robin teleports in front of me, holding Dana. She tries to squirm out of his arms and run away, but I scoop her up and hold her-

Thanks, Robin.

-he bows and teleports away-

Dana, please. You can't still be mad!

Dana: -squeals angry and pushes away from me with her paws- <No! You made Ryder leave! I want him back!>

-desperately-

Dana, it was his choice, he wanted to leave!

Dana: <It's your fault!> -jumps out of my arms and hides behind the nearest Pokemon- <Go away!>

-sighs-

Woolly: <Oh, hey! There's Tracer and the others!> -Waves.- <Hi, guys!>

Lake: <Hey, guys. Lookin->

Guardé: -Extends his blades, then points at Teala.- <FOUL BEAST! Unhand that man and his mons immediately!>

Woolly: <What? No, Guardé! That's Teala!>

Treeo: <Yeah, she's harmless!>

Guardé: <No creature as terrible looking as that could possibly be harmless! By my blades, YOU SHALL BE SLAIN!> -Rushes them.- <CHAAAAAAARGE!>

GUARDÉ! STOP!

Stratus: <OH NO! Don't let him hurt Teala!>

Lake: <Leave it to me.>

-Lake fires a Bubble at Guardé, tapping him inside and immobilizing him.-

Guardé: <...What?! NO, IT CAN'T BE! I'VE BEEN IMPRISONED! HOW WILL I SAVE ANYONE NOW?!>

Lake: -To Tracer and his mons.- <Sorry about that.>

-The group is taken aback by Guardé's attempt to attack Teala-

<Teala: "Wh-Wha-? But... We met earlier...">

"... I think that this is all a massive understanding, Guardé..."

<Nadia: "Well this has got to be the first time that I've ever seen anyone think that someone was more threatening than me...">

<Gene: "... This is a regular thing, isn't it?">

-To Guardé-

<Iggy: "You're aware that she was a guard at a shrine before this, right? I don't think that you'd have to worry about her attacking someone...">

Guardé: <Oh...She was?>

Chord: -Skitters over to Gene.- <Yeah, he does this a lot. Thankfully we're always in there to keep him in check. So he hasn't slain anyone yet.> -Narrows his eyes at Guardé.- <And we plan to keep it that way.>

Lake: <Right...Well.> -Decides to change the subject.- <Have you guys been shopping, because you're all looking good.>

<Nadia: "Yeah, we did, Lake...">

<Iggy: "Heh. Looks like you guys went too...">

-Sunny is paying attention to and responding to Kessie's chattering-

Lake: -Grins.- <We sure did. Didn't get anything myself, though.> -Holds up his hands.- <Already have my gloves. You look really awesome though, Nadia. You too, Toothless.>

Guardé: -Pokes the bubble.- <How long am I going to be locked up in here for?>

Chord: -Climbs on top of the bubble, looking down at Guardé.- <If I had my way? I'd never let you out.>

Guardé: -Puts his hands on his hips.- <I thought bards were meant to be jolly? Not snarky!>

Chord: -Smirks.- <I'm no Spoony bard.>

-Kessie is quite happy that she's met someone who will listen to the confused ramblings of a weeks-old Murkrow-

Jammer: <Five minutes till performance.>

Me: -In my warped floral print T-shirt and jeans- Okay, where's Tepig? -Slips on a pair of shades and swings keytar around to my front-

Tepig: -Walks in wearing the armband and carrying a single drumstick- Yeah, yeah, I'm coming. -Grabs the other drumstick from a table-

Susan: -Adjusting her mic- You look nice as a human Tepig.

Tepig: Um... Thanks...

Jammer: <30 seconds to performance> -Floats over to the control panel-

-We take our places on stage-

/Duck/: -In the laptop plugged into the control panel- >And... Showtime!

Jammer: -Manipulates the control panel, causing the curtain to raise and the mics to become active-

-Every has found a suitable body of water and let out Slam, who is currently floating around aimlessly-

-walks over to Every-

You know, it's a shame I didn't bring a swimsuit.

-a woman walks up to the group-

Tour Guide: -!-

Hello, Orange Island visitors. Shall I welcome you with a battle?

Oh, you like swimming?

Don't think about it don't think about it don't think about it

Yeah, though I haven't been swimming very recently. Do you like to swim?

-Walks around the city looking for some stores-

Ichtacya (casually evading some other trainers and random people) — <So, what are we looking for?>

— Well, a map of the islands to begin with, but not just any random touristic map.

Ichtacya (her paw was already pointing to a store) — <...Oh. Oops...>

— ...And a saddle or something to ease Copahue the work of moving us between nearby islands.

-Algira flies in from another street-

Ichtacya — <Hey! What did you find?>

Algira (perches on Ichtacya's head) — <A food store, a battle ground, a gift store and some Electrode...>

— ...Electrode?

-I notice that despite the crowded streets we can maintain a faster pace. I wonder why is that, then decide that we are so definitively not rushing. This is vacation.-

-We keep walking without a general aim, just looking around, until I find an art store-

Algira — <...Pictures?>

— I want to see if there's anything peculiar. Statues perhaps.

No, not really. I like to have both feet firmly planted on the ground at all times.

-Was totally behind Tagg the whole time.

Nice place, huh?

Kratos: <I'd love to make a documentary on the wildlife here. Sadly, I'd probably have to pay them royalties, so, no go.>

Oh. Do you know how to swim? Maybe I could teach you. Well, once I get a swimsuit.

I know how to swim, I just don't enjoy doing so.

Oh. That's a shame.

Come on, Mezzo, stop thinking about what he'd look like with his shirt off.

Helios: -Looks at Kratos- <Why do I get the feeling that Dusknoir is going to try to rip my head off and use it for a lantern?>

-Is just wandering around-
