ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Looks down at the ground-

- Looks over at Pentigan -

Well... Anom is in a bit of an awkward situation right now.

You!

-the mech stops dead-

-the backplate pops open again, releasing the Dunsparce, who slithers onto the armor's head-

Dunsparce: <So you found me again...>

This Morning

Basket: -touches down on Butwal Island, near the Pokémon Center- <Yeah... I can feel the storm coming. Stay here for the day, then tomorrow we do this?>

Tangent: I guess so. It's a step, Basket...

Basket: <Probably won't get the brunt of the storm here, at least not this morning... maybe we can explore the forest a bit.>

Butwal Forest

-a pair of Spearow discover a fresh-ripened Berry shrub-

Scruffy Spearow: <Hey! Hey! There are, like, 15 berries here!>

Preened Spearow: <Oh? Hmm. This is very nice indeed... Let's get them back to the nest before...>

Pidgey: -flaps in- <Did you say...    Berries   ?>

Preened Spearow: -narrows eyes- Oh, come on...

Scruffy Spearow: <Uh... do you want a couple of them...>

Pidgey: -puffs up- <Oh, yes, how about a couple of them and then    the rest too or else?   >

Scruffy Spearow: <Hey, we found them! You can't just->

Pidgey: -Whirlwinds the Spearow into a tree- <   All is fair in berries and war!   >

-from the nearby bushes, two eyes peek out, witnessing the Spearow brothers slumped against the roots-

???: Looks like I've found breakfast...

-looks to Every, then to the Dunsparce, then back to Every-

...You two know each other?

- Walks up to Pentigan and whispers to him, explaining Anom's situation -

???

Oh.

Good think I brought the amulet along then.

(To Mezzo, not taking his eyes off the Dunsparce) We've met.

Dunsparce: -tilts head at Mezzo- <Who are you?>

So, you don't think changing him back to normal in his current situation might have any negative effects?

-Turns redder-

I'm just worried... what if it... has an effect on my male form or something? Or causes some kind of error in the amulet?

Butwal Island

-After having landed on Copahue (and having reminded him four times that no, he's not my HM slave) we take a look around, listening to Tangent-

— Well, I guess we can do some exploration yes... what's me, I'm gonna stay here for a bit.

-releasing Shahinne and Ichtacya-

Ichtacya — <Yay! Sunlight! :3> — looks around — <Wait... a storm is coming... awwww...>

Shahinne — <Flying around! Many trees!>

— Shahinne you stay with Copahue, I don't want the strong winds blowing you away. You go have some fun.

Ichtacya — <I'm gonna just lay there~> — walks to the shore.

I don't think it will, whatever magic this thing uses probably accounts for it.

I really hope you're right...

-Places the amulet on-

Just need to turn it now...

-glares at the Dunsparce-

I'm his girlfriend, so if you do anything to him, you'll have to deal with me!

Felis: <Oh, she must be quaking with fear right now.>

You sure you want to do that, Anom?

Ori, Leave him alone.

- Glances over at Ori, trying to make sure he is standing far enough away to not affect the amulet -

- Smiles at Anom reassuringly -

I am. I'm just... She... He... You know what, never mind.

What is it, Ori?

Dunsparce: -meets Mezzo's glare until she finishes talking-

(to Every) <Since you've managed to find me again, I'll give you another chance.> -zaps her armor with a Thunderbolt, ripping apart a good deal of it- <You have until it repairs. Choose a Pokemon.>

-sends out Toxicroak- Okay, let's do this!

You just seem to have enjoyed your time. And you look a bit conflicted. Just think things through.

I'm guessing I can't interfere...? Good luck, Every.

...Enjoyed it? No, I'd rather not spend the rest of my life like this... I want to be my old self.

-Uses the amulet and is turned male-

...Ah...

-Grins-

-Grins-

Good to have you back, Anom.

Dunsparce: (To Mezzo) <Indeed.>

Thanks, Mezzo. Okay, Toxicroak, Brick Break!

-Toxicroak runs forward to Brick Break-

-and the Dunsparce immediately tunnels underground to dodge-

Well, crap. Toxicroak, keep a Sludge Bomb ready for the second she reappears!
