ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Past Battle

Abigail: <Hot!> -collapses-

Abby! Okay... focus... -recalls Abby-

Pankaja! It's up to you! Surf!

Pankaja: <You made Abby sad!    TAKE THIS!   > -raises a giant wave of water over Hex-

Underwater Cavern

Stay ready!

-Pankaja floats beside me-

~A couple of minutes later~

Rex: *sitting next to his Pokemon* This is Minty. *gestures to the little bug on top of Aqua's head* He tagged along with us a couple of days ago when we left Butwal Island. And this is Aqua.

Aqua: *wags tail* <Hi!>

Rex: She's Rascal's daughter.

Lyra: *sitting in front of them* Oh? *grins at Rascal* Who's the lucky lady?

Rascal: *flushes*

Rex: You remember Kim, right? Her Leafeon is Aqua's mother. She stayed with her for a while so she could breast-feed and she was sent to me a few days ago.

Lyra: Oh, I see. *leans down, so that she's face to face with Aqua* You can call me Lyra~

Aqua: <Yay, auntie Lyra!> *licks her cheek* <I can has Waterstone nao?>

Rex: Be patient, Aqua. *pets her*

Lyra: *pulls back with a smile* You seem like you can understand her pretty well even though you haven't had her long.

Rex: Well, that's part of the armband's power.

Lyra: Armband? *her gaze flicks over to the said item on the ground* Oh, so that thing is what changed you.

Rex: ...Seriously, you're not the least bit bothered by that?

Lyra: It's not all that strange. *folds her arms* It's not like a Celebi came out of nowhere and dragged us back in time to fight the leader of the mafia in a waterfall or anything.

Rex: ...Has that actually happened to you?

Lyra: Of course not. But it sounds a lot sillier than an item that turns people into Pokemon, doesn't it?

Aqua: <Auntie is so cool~>

-Hex tries to dodge, but is too slow to, and faints-

Go, Zero! Use Dark Pulse!

-Zero lets loose a wave of Dark aura-

-The Huntail stops just short of us. Within this time I also notice that it has a second pair of eyes under its chin-

Weird.

-Has Muddy direct a Hydro Pump at one of the teeth to clean it-

Underwater

Pankaja, Water Gun that golden tooth.

...how does a Huntail get that kind of dental work?

Past Battle

Pankaja: -hit by Pulse, shaken by the attack- <B...bad dreams...>

Hang in there! Try an Earthquake!

-Pankaja TWACK!s the ground with his tail, shaking it somewhat-

Noki Bay Mandarin Island South

Pleo: <Zzz...> -Yawns.-

-Pleo pokes his head out of Lake's bag, where he had spent last night sleeping. Wearily, he looks around, squinting at the mid-day sun.

Wait.-

Pleo: <AAAHHHHH! GUYS! WE OVERSLEPT!>

Lake: -Sits up, sleepily.- <What?> -Notices the time of day.- <WHOA!>

Stratus: <EEP!> -Flaps into the air with a start.- <Look how late it is!>

Harriet: -Groans.- <How did this happen? It wasn't like we had a late night or anything...>

Teala: <Calm down, everyone! It's not like we've missed anything important.>

Woolly: <Um...where's Tagg and Tangent?>

-Woolly points to where Tagg and Tangent were sleeping the night before, which, naturally, is empty because they left to deal with the pollution.-

Teala: <...Okay, maybe we did.>

Audrey: <Well, I'm not just going to sit here and let Tangent and Tagg have all the fun.> -Get's up.- <Are you guys coming, or what?>

-Rubs my eyes, sleepily.- "Well, we kind of have too, I guess."

Chord: <Can't it wait a few minutes? We haven't even had breakfast yet...>

Lake: <They'll be time for that, later. Tagg and Tangent might be in trouble!>

Pleo: <Oh! I don't want them to get hurt! Come on guys, let's go!>

"Yeah, there might not be much time! Come on!"

Lyra: So, can you control what Pokemon you turn into?

Rex: *shakes his head* Nah. I feel asleep and heard a voice in my head asking me some questions. Then, when I woke up, I was a Spinda.

Lyra: Hmm...does it only turn people into Spinda?

Rex: I'm not sure.

Lyra: *looks at it curiously* Maybe I should try it.

Rex: Do you think that's safe?

Lyra: It worked fine on you, so it should be safe for me. *grins a little* Besides, I know how much you love your research. Don't you want to see whether it turns you into different species or types? Or what kind of affect it has on someone of the opposite gender?

Rex: Well, I was kind of curious.

Lyra: Great! Then it shouldn't be a problem~

Rex: Oh, wait. Before you transform, you should take your items out of your pockets. It all disappears when you transform.

Lyra: Oh, alright. *pulls out her Pokegear, a Ribbon Case, and a few stones including a Waterstone* Take whichever stone you want, sweetie.

Aqua: *nabs the Waterstone* <Yoink.>

Lyra: Okay...here we go. *slides the armband on* So, umm...how long do I have to wait befo- *passes out*

-Zero is shaken down to the red-

Use Night Daze!

-Zero lets loose a dark aura wave similar to Dark Pulse, but much stronger-

Past Battle

-Pankaja gets sent to the red by the attack-

Pankaja! Surf again!

...Pankaja?

-Pankaja is teetering back and forth, mumbling gibberish to himself-

-The boulder suddenly extends spikes, breaking the fence holding it in and sending it on its way down the slope toward us-

.....................

... We should probably move out of the way now.

- Grabs Anom's arm, holding Odette and Tulip with my other arm and starts running -

-The gold tooth floats up after being cleaned-

After all the crazy stuff I've seen, I've quit asking questions. Makes my head hurt less.

-The Huntail starts trying to suck us into its mouth, and ends up popping Muddy's Dive bubble in the process-

Muddy: <Uh oh.>

Thresher: -Starts to drown- <Urk!>

Zero, take advantage of this and use Night daze again!

-Zero launches another Dark aura wave-

Underwater

Abigail: <Thresher!> -frantically thinks of things she can do, coming up blank-

Past

-Pankaja is knocked out and recalled-

So close...

-waves to Straw- Good battle!

-Is being dragged along by DS, silent the whole time-

-Waves back-

Well, it looks like we are advancing.

-Zero turns ino a tree-

-I facepalm-

Lyra: *comes to moments later* <Wow, that wasn't fun at a...Oh my gosh, you guys are giant!>

Rex: Actually, you're just really tiny...

Lyra: <Oh oh! What am I? Wait wait, don't tell me!> *touches over herself, trying to find out* <Okay, I have hair...blonde hair. And I'm really tiny... Oh oh!> *bounces excitedly* <I'm a Smoochum!>

Rex: *nods* Not really surprising since you hang around daycare Pokemon all the time.

Smoochum!Lyra: <This is so cool!> *puts a finger to her lips in thought, marveling at how sensitive they are now* <Hey, that kind of tickles...> *touches her lips again* <Hehe...>

Aqua: *has set the Waterstone down off to the side* <Aww, she's like a baby.>

Rex: Well, she does have a baby's mind right now.

Smoochum!Lyra: *giggling and playing with her lips some more* <Hehehe...> *overhears Aqua and Rex speaking, snapping out of her stupor* <Oh, focus Lyra...> *moves her hands back to her sides, before turning to Rex* <Do you think I could evolve into a Jynx?>

Rex: Maybe. You are a Pokemon now, so that is possible. You just need some experience.

Smoochum!Lyra: <No way! I wanna stay small and cute!> *giggles and plays with her lips again* <This is so much fun~>

Rex: *sweatdrop*

Cliff Top

Treeo: <So, they're supposed to be down there, Audrey?>

-All of us are standing at the top of the cliff overlooking the bay's waterfall, having hastily worked our way up there. A few of my Pokémon are standing in the background, puffing and panting from the effort.-

Woolly: <Phew, what a workout!>

Chord: <They do say that early morning work-outs are supposed to be good for you.>

Stratus: <But it's lunch time...>

Chord: -Shrugs.- <Well, we just got up, didn't we? Same thing.>

Audrey: -To Treeo.- <I can definitely feel them down there. Along with something huge.>

Milo: <Oh, that Giant Huntail?>

Nadia: <What?!>

Milo: <Well, it's a Huntail. And it's Giant. What did you expect it to be? Three foot lo->

-Milo is interrupted by Harriet dope-slapping him with her wing.-

Milo: <OW! Why'd you do that?>

Harriet: <'Cause Kat's not here.>

Audrey: -Smirks.- <Nice one.>

Harriet: <Thanks.>

Teala: <We're going to go after them, right?>

"Well we can't just leave them on their own down there, can me?"

Harriet: <Whoa, hang on. More diving?> -Rubs the back of her head.- <That's something I'm not so keen on...>

"Well, we don't all have to go. Don't want it to get too crowded down there."

-I open my bag, and pull out our stack of bubble scarves.-

"Alright, scarves on, peoplemons."

Milo: <Wait, you've got some of those fancy scarves that Tagg and Tangent had in that bottle?>

Pleo: -Nods.- <Yep! I got them all for them!>

Lake: <Yeah, you can thank Pleo for that.>

"So, who isn't going?"

Harriet: <Er, I'll sit this one out I'm afraid. Sorry.>

Treeo: <...I'll stay, too. Just in case something goes wrong.>

"Alright, anyone else?"

-Nobody else objects, so we all put our scarves on, then stand at the edge of the cliff.-

Woolly: <Whoa! Look at how high we are!>

Chord: <Yeah, it's a real long way down...>

Milo: <Come on, it's not that high.>

Chord: <Says you.>

Lake: <Is everyone ready?>

-Everybody nods.-

Lake: <Okay, on three, we jump. One->

Guardé: <Okay peoplemons, let's do this! CHAAAAAAAAARGE!>

-Guardé rushes past us, then gracefully leaps off the cliff and Swan dives into the clear patch of water, leaving us staring in shock.-

Chord: -Facepalms.- <Eurgh! That idiot...>

Audrey: <Did that just happen?>

Milo: -To Harriet.- <Does he have a death wish or something?>

Harriet: <It wouldn't surprise me.>

-Climbs onto Lake's back.- "Okay, let's get after Guardé before he hurts himself."

Lake: <Okay...THREE! HERE WE GO!>

-All of us leap off the cliff, plunging into the ocean. Harriet and Treeo gaze over the edge, watching as we all hit the water.-

Harriet: <Think they'll be okay?>

Treeo: -Nods.- <Yeah, I'm sure of it.>

- Continues running, still dragging Anom along -

How does it look? Are we getting away?

Tulip: (has her eyes closed) <I don't know, yes!>

Odette: (peeks over my shoulder) <... Keep running. Spiky thing still after us!>

Ascorbia

-Is at a plaza, feeding Dintel and Copahue while watching at some Trainers doing random battle. Thinking of what to do afterwards-

At a Deserted Island near Navel

-A Pidgeot carrying some messages flies peacefully above a group of Seel who are heading towards a small island-

Pidgeot — <Oi there... may one of you tell me where can I find the lead Primeape around?>

Wild Seel♀ lv28 — <Hey there... Primeape?> — thinks for a moment — <Mom? Bro?>

Wild Seel♂ lv21 — <I've never even heard what a Primeape is.>

Wild Seel♀ lv47 — <Oh, those are like the Mankey from the island, but larger...> — to the Pidgeot — <The island past the next one, that's where most of the Mankey live.>

Pidgeot — <Thanks, Madam...!> — flies ahead.

Underwater

-A certain Gallade, already ahead of everyone else having dived sooner, come across the gigantic Huntail.-

Guardé: -Sneers.- <Foul beast! How dare you pollute the waters of this bay!>

-The Gallade draws his arm blades.-

Guardé: <I shall not allow it! Prepare to be slain, you awful thing! CHAAAAAAAARGE!>

-Guardé swims towards the giant Pokémon, preparing to use a Psycho Cut attack on it.-

Meanwhile, somewhere else

- Ribbons has finally managed to get past the Snorlax, after remembering that she could've just used her psychic powers to move it to begin with -

- She is now wandering down the path, wondering why it took her so long to remember -

Thresher: -Attaches to Muddy out of shock, causing him to fire an involuntary Hydro Pump into a goop bubble, causing some air bubbles to appear-

Muddy: -Gets a realization and uses the air bubbles to form a new Dive bubble around himself and Thresher-

-Meanwhile, the Huntail simply swallows Guarde whole before spitting him out hard-

edited 27th Sep '11 11:55:17 AM by rmctagg09

Guardé: <WHAT THE-?!> -Is swallowed that spat out.- <WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!>

Chord: <I've got him!>

-Chord shoots a String Shot at Guardé, the sticky thread attaching to the Gallade, allowing Chord to pull him in.-

Chord: <Are you crazy?! You could have gotten yourself killed!>

Guardé: <Hey! I was only trying to help!>

-Nadia's eyes go wide at the sight of the giant Huntail.-

Nadia: <What on Earth is that...Thing?!>

Lake: <I dunno. But I'm not sure I like it.>

Pleo: <EEK! It's scary!> -Hides in Lake's bag.-

Audrey: <Well...This seems familiar...How did we solve this one?>

Milo: <Didn't we have to spary water to clean it's teeth or something?>

Audrey: <Ah, that's it! Hey! Anyone who can, fire water at it's teeth! They're what's causing the pollution!>

Lake: <Oh, okay then!>

-Lake and Milo fire Hydro Pump attacks at the remaining teeth.-

Stratus: <Oh! There's Tagg and the others!> -Points them out to us.-

"Hey, Tagg! How's it going?"

Woolly: <We figured you could use some help!>

-Walking around the plaza, checking on a gathering of Trainers-

Ichtacya (happy) — <Can I battle some time? I'd love to battle.>

— Sure, why not. We just have to look for an opponent later. First you should rest from your noms... which reminds me.

-Releases Algira from the Poké Ball-

Algira (swings around) — <FINALLY, DAMN IT!!!!> — turns around — <Eeeh, about time! I'm finally outside! I'm-I'm....>

-Ichtacya frowns-

Algira — <...Where am I?>

— Algira, this is an island called Ascorbia. We're gonna spend the rest of the day here.

Algira — <Oh...>

-flutters around, but I stop her-

— You are still grounded, Algira. I'm just letting you out so you can breath a little around and perhaps do some battling.

Algira — <But... But... Shahinne...>

Ichtacya (snickers) — <That'll teach you...>

Algira (hovers around and buzzes) — <Hey! A dog thing like you should be more respectful!>

Ichtacya — <Rrrr.....>

Algira — <Bzzzzt....>

— Now guys.. girls, stop it. Learn from Dintel!

-Dintel is sitting on the grass, talking to a random Butterfree-

Dintel — <...and he was called Mr. Pinch. We had great times together playing hide-and-seek in that tower!>

Butterfree — <Really? I wish I could travel to a large land like that... :3>
