ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Oh?

... Well, we did just run really fast from a lot of Spinarak.

So...Anywhere specific you want to go?

No, not really.

Where do you want to go?

-Treeo and Stratus watch with awe as Gene effortlessly dodges the Badniks, while easily disposing of most of them.-

Stratus: -Blinks.- <Wow...>

Treeo: <Are Sandslash normally that fast?>

-Behind the two, several Newtron de-cloak, then transform into rockets and charge at the two. Hearing the noise of their rockets firing up, the two turn around to find the robots quickly bearing down on them.-

Stratus: <EEP!>

Treeo: <Whoa!>

-However, Treeo uses protect to elevate his lightning reflexes, allowing him to easily avoid the missile. Stratus, unable to dodge due to his bulkier build, quickly slashes at the Newtron in fright with Dragon Claw, scrapping the Badnik and releasing the Nidoran trapped inside.-

Nidoran: <Wheeee~!> -Bounces away, happily.-

Stratus: <...Those ones were new.>

Treeo: <Yeah...I don't like them.>

Stratus: <Oh! LOOK OUT!>

-Stratus points to the other Newtron that Treeo dodged a few seconds ago, which has now swerved around to try attack Treeo again. The Sceptile, however, coolly spins around and slashes it with a Leaf Blade attack, slicing the robotic charmeleon apart and freeing it's captive Pidgey.-

Pidgey: <FREEDOM!> -Flies away.-

Treeo: -Smirks.- <Still far too easy.>

-watching Rex and his mons go-

-releases Dintel and Algira-

Dintel (sits and starts drawing a Trapinch on the sand) — <Oh! I like this place already!>

-Algira looks around and goes perch on a nearby tree-

— Dintel, Algira, you can play around so long as you help clean up that place first — points to a nearby space with short grass.

Dintel — <Oh! I can has clean up fast! Can has I?>

Algira — <Well, if you want...> — to me — <I'll go Intimidate some nearby wild mons.>

— Intimidate, Algira. Not eat them.

Algira — <Hmph!> — spins and flies away.

-Dintel starts slashing at the short grass while I go sit around, watching Shahinne chit chat with Aqua-

...What.

-shrugs and sends out Diesel and Breeze to help fight-

Yeah. . . I'm fine. . . sorta.

Violet:<Okay, this reminds me of that time in the AU when I was a Mudkip, Knuckles was a Machop, and you were nine. You got a nasty cut on your arm and we had no bangages. So Knux and I had to sneak into a hospital and steal some. The bottom line? You were an idiot for getting hurt then, and you're an idiot for getting hurt now.>

Nice. . . to know you care, Vi.

-hears Crewe and Straw-

How about a hospital?

-Still running down the path-

<Gene: "Heh. I wonder just how this is happening to me anyways...">

-Trashes a badnik that happens to be facing the wrong way-

<Gene: "Not that I'm complaining...">

<Thog: "Oh wow, he's really tearing it up out there... At this rate, we'll be done before we know it!">

<Nadia: "... Don't tempt fate, Thog...">

Hey, if you mess with wild Pokemon, chances are you'll get hurt.

Same goes for heavy machinery and sharp objects.

-sidesteps a goo-covered... something... rolling down the path-

Ugh... these walls are covered with some sort of goop. And I left Pankaja at the beach...

Beach

-Abby makes a block of ice-

Rufus: <Hmm... maybe I could learn to swim... nab a Basculin or something...>

-Pankaja is immensely stressed regarding what color to select-

-Has Muddy cleaning goop with water-

Should I have Xatu bring everyone here then?

Mandarin Beach

Thresher: -Uses Gyro Ball on the block of ice-

Xatu: -Watching- <He's doing it with purpose.>

Hmm...I was thinking of maybe Kumquat, Mandarin, or Tangelo.

-To Meddler-

There's probably one one each of those islands I mentioned.

Any of those sound good.

I wonder where everyone else is...

~In the Forest~

Lian: *chops down another tree* <Hah! That's 23!>

Anya: <Is that all? I'm on 27.>

Lian: <Grr...> *chops faster*

Rex: *sweatdrop* Umm...I think we have enough wood.

~Back near the campsite~

Wild Sewaddle: *nibbling on some grass nearby* <Nummy nummy...>

Shellcracker #1: Query: Why have we been deployed in this zone?

Slicer #1: Response: Master concluded that we would be able to stop the hedgehog more easily if higher grade Badniks were deplyoed further into enemy territory.

Slicer #2: Alert: enemy spotted! Commence attack!

Shellcracker #2: Deploy coordinated attack in 3...2...1...Now!

-The gathered Slicers fire their sharp blades at Gene as the Shellcrackers extend their larger claws, tying to punch him out.-

They're probably on either Kumquat or on their own.

-Diesel Brick Breaks a badnik, shattering it to release a Hoothoot, while Breeze simply pries one open with Psychic to let out the Sentret trapped inside-

Hoothoot and Sentret: <FREEDOM!> -leave-

This is so utterly bizarre...

-seeing the Slicers and Shellcrackers-

Uh-oh...

We should probably go to Kumquat, then.

-nods towards where Hunter is still surrounded by his team-

His family's probably there too.

Gamer's there too. . . aw man, he'll be pissed.

Okay then.

-Steers the boat in the direction of Kumquat-

-Watching the higher grade badniks launch a coordinated attack-

<Gene: "Gah!">

-Above-

<Nadia: "(*groan*) Darn it, Thog...">

-Attempts Fire Blast on the badniks as Gene attempts to dodge the flying blades-

<Gene: "Heh. Just as slow as all the-">

-Sees a blade coming straight for him-

<Gene: "Aw crud.">

-Which is promptly knocked out of the way by a massive burst of water-

-From a ways back-

<Iggy: "Pay attention to your surroundings, Gene!">

<Gene: "Yeah, yeah, I get it!">

-Ichtacya is playing with Aqua-

Ichtacya (gently pokes Aqua around) — <Yes you're very cute! :3>

-Meanwhile, Shahinne is practising flying when she spots something moving in the sand-

Shahinne (circles around) — <♭♫?>

-she swoops in and silently lands on the sand some distance behind a random Krabby-

Aqua: *giggles, wagging her tail and poking back* <Hehe...oh, where'd birdie go?>

~In the Forest~

Rex: *dragging Lian and Anya away* Honestly, you two...

Lian: *holding firewood* <What did we do?>

Anya: *also holding firewood* <YOU got carried away.>

Lian: <You're just jealous because I caught up...>

*the trio exits the woods, leaving behind a large wooden cabin that was somehow conveniently formed by the two during their competition*

Might be good... especially with whatever's up thERE!

-dodges a staircase of stone emerging from the wall-

...wow. Uh... yeah.

Beach

Abigail: <What are you making, Thresher?>

-Lake cautiously approaches the higher-grade Badnicks, getting ready to attack. Unfortunately, though, they manage to spot him.-

Shellcracker #2: Hostile sighted! Attack!

-Almost instantly, a flurry of blades and several large claws are launched at the Feraligatr, leaving him little room to escape, just as everyone else catches up.-

Woolly: <Uh-oh!>

Pleo: <LAKE!>

-Keeping his cool, Lake throws up a Gold Protect Shield, the blades and claws glancing off, harmlessly, much to the Badniks shock.-

Lake: -Smirks.- <My turn.>

-The Water type raises a foot, then stomps the Ground hard, causing the earth under the badniks to churn then knock them into the air, where they promptly explode like robotic fireworks.-

Pleo: -In awe.- <...Cool.>

Chord: <Now that was impressive.>

Guardé: <Yes, but had it been me, I would have stuck them all down before they could launch a single attack!>

Harriet: -Rolls her eyes.- <Eurgh...>
